Work On the Manawa Line Com menced in Kaniest Personal Mention Urlef lilts of New.- ) . DrinkH or No Or Inks. The district court room yesterday was the scene of several legal skirmishes over cases brought against the saloons. Judge Carson sat patiently listening to the arguments , in which sev eral members of the bar were engaged. Tlic cause of the prohibitionists was looked after by Attorney Zink , of Lo- Mars , who was in the employ of the state alliance. Attorney Sims , of this city , who lias been so prominent in the prose cution of this class of cases , was not iresent , he being ill. The cases wore learly sill petitions for temporary writs of injunction to restrain the defendants roni selling liquors , or allowing their juiluings to be used for saloon purposes , i'he actions were based on the affidavits mule by the two informers , who are now .n . jail in Omaha. The lir.it case called up was that of A. Hitter , an old citizen , who owns a building on Alain street , which lias been occupied uy a tenant who is sup posed to have sold liquors , i'heso in- tormi'.r.s had signed an allidavit declar ing that they had bought drinks at that place of Mr. Hitter himself , and in this they were evidently either mistaken , or else swore recklessly or fajsely. It is generally known that Mr. Hitter has not been keeping a siiloon , and a number of allidavits were presented to the court showing that he had not been violating the law as charged. Captain Overtoil , who is the iilamtilV in these cases , wns put upon tin.1 stand. He knew nothing of his personal observation , but merely from what iiu had been told. The two men who signed the allidavits were not able to bo present , they being in jail , and no explanation was therefore given as to how they made such allidavits , or on what facts they based it. It is conceded that in this case at least the atlidavits are. not true , and the case will probably be dismissed. The papers were sub mitted to Judge Carson , but no decision given. The other cases were called up , one being against Dick Kickctts. As the case involved the miestions which were to be brought up in the others , the dis cussion became general , and the de cision was applicable to the others. The attorneys for the defendants presented the counter allidavits , the most sensa tional one being that made by the two informers , and already published in the lir ! : , claiming that the other aflHavits were not made from personal knowledge , but from memoranda simply. Allidavits of others were presented , swearing that the informers had confessed in their hearing that there was no truth in the allidavits which they had sworn to auainst the saloons. ' The allidavits on which the prosecution are depend ing being thus savagely attacked , the attorneys for the defendants insisted that these informers should be produced in court , so that they could cross-exam ine them , and thus disclose how much or how little truth tharo was in these charges. The allotnoy for the prohibi tionists wanted the cases submitted on the atlidavits , and resisted the attempt to have the cases put oil * until the witnesses could bo produced in court. Thov claimed that the defendants hail inveigled these two men over to Omalia , had there put up a job resulting in their being looked up , and now that they had these two in formers in jail , wore sarcastically asking the prosecution to produce them in court here. The defendants having been re sponsible for keeping the two men from being hero , they could not consistently demand that the prosecution produce these men for them to cross-examine. The attorneys for the defendants in sisted on their right. The court was asked by tfio prosecution to exercise the great est power given to courts under the law that of injunction. In cases where a new trial was asked for or a continuance , tlm courts could , in their discretion , order the persons signing the allidavits to bo brought before them for examina tion as to the matters set forth in the af fidavits. In no other way could the truth be got at in some cases. The de fendants liad the riirlit to demand an op portunity to cross-examine these men and this was simply in accordance with the practice of the courts here for years. Judge Carson decided that the two men should be brought into court for this purpose. The prosecution desired time to prepare a showing as to why tho.se men could not be brought into court , and euch timn was granted , this morning being the tiino fixed. This showing will doubtless atlcot the fixing of a time for further hearing , for if by the showing it appears that the two men are in jail in Omaha , with no immediate prospect of release , then the court will probably continue the hearing until some date when they will probably be out of jail. It looks aa if there was to be considerable delay before any hearing of the matters in issue could bo reached. Yesterday's result was clearly to the advantage of the defendants. They were quite jubilant , and they insist that when the prohibitionists succeed in getting the two informers in court hero , they will bo so broken down by their admissions of having sworn falsely that their evidcnco will cue no figure. Parties in Omaha desiring to secure seats for the concert in Saint Paul's church Thursday evening can do so by addressing the Rev. T. J. Mackay. Price of reserved seats , 50 cents. The Work Begun. Mr. J. K. Graves , of Dubuque , who has the building of the motor line to Lake Mauawa , has arrived in the city , ana is making headquarters at the Pacific. His foreman , Mr. Fay , is with him. Within two hours after the arrival of Mr. Graves yesterday morning the work of building the road was commenced. The tics were placed along the road bed , and a largo force of men were at work. The survey ors wore yesterday putting the stakes , and the rails will bo put down very rap idly as soon as the ties are iu place. Itis expected that the entire road will bo done in two weeks. The exact date is not fixed , but the opening day will see thousands of people coming into this city to enjoy the opening doinijs. The Con gregational church of this cltyw to have excursions in hero from every line of road and from Omaha , and a pleasing pro- gramma is being arranged for the day. It is expected that there will bo more people and more enjoyment , moro of a jubilee day , than has been in this city for years. The beginning of the work of building the road puts an end forever to the talk of a few croakers who have been insisting up to the last that the road would never bo built , except on paper. The enterprise will prove a great success , without doubt , and the people are happy at the outlook. _ To-Night at the Opera House.

New York Clipper : "Several years ago 1 was traveling for a well-known house on a commission only , although myjjx- pcnscs were paid. At the time I was aT- most desperate for the want of money. To add to my woes , my wife was very sick , and the recent death of my mother had taken every cent 1 had saved to pay her funeral expenses. My last trip had been a wretched one. and 1 had sold only one little bill of goods. At the same time I had made large collections for the firm on old accounts. "In my wallet 1 had a little over $1,000 belonging to the firm. Karly in the even ing 1 had taken several drinks to cheer mo up , and when , a little later , a game of poker was proposed , 1 willingly made one of the party , recklessly fooling that if I lost but $23 1 would not be much worse ofl' . We started in at $1 ante ami $10 limit , and having good luck , I soon ran mv small stake up to $100. Mcan- tim'j the game grew hotter , and the limit had been raised to $ oO , while the ante grew proportionately. All the players except myselt were men able to'lose $1,000 and never wink oven ; but of course they did not know my own straitened cir cumstances. "An hour after mid-night we agreed to play a farewell jackpot and quit. Each man p'.it up $50 , which made the pot if'50 to start with , as there wore live of us The cards were dealt several times and none of us had openers. At last the man ahead of me and next to the dealer opened the pot tor a $ . " > ( ) note. 1 looked at my cards and found three aces , but simply stayed , not wishing to drive the others out. The player on my left , the richest man of tlm party , saw the opening bet and raised another $00. The next two dropped out ana the opener simply called the raise. Then it was ray turn and 1 hesitated , for I was in a frightly quandry. My own funds were not suf ficient to enable me to call , and until that moment 1 had never thought of us ing the firm's funds. ' From a dreadful mental strucglo I was recalled to the fact that 1 must do something by the dealer saying , 'Come , come , X. , say something ; 1 want to put up the cards and go to bed. " In a mo- ' mcnt I formed a plan which meant either ruin or brighter hopes. I unbuttoned my coat , and drawing out the wallet with the linn's money in it , 1 laid $50 of my employers' money on the table. It was the supreme moment of my life ; it was my first dishonest act if boyish thetts on orchards don't count yctl'was as cool as I had ever been in my exis tence. The. opener drew two cards , and , Knowing I had him beat , I too , took two. The third man took none. His standing pat made me shudder , for I was now looking dishonor in the face. The original opener scanned his cards carefully , and then iu a confident manner , bet $50. That ho had filled I was morally certain ; but , having gone too far to recede , I called him , mechanically , without ever looking at my draw. 'Fifty dollars more than you'said the player next to me. The opener hesitated and then simply called the last raise. Hope lessly I looked at my last draw. The first card was the two spot of hearts , and with a feeling of despair 1 looked at the next. It was the ace of spades. I knew I had drawn to the ace of clubs and the two red aces. The revulsion of feeling made mo faint , and I hastily gulped down a glass of seltzer near me" . My knees knocked together under the ta ble , but I managed to get out a $100 bill , announced that 1 raised the pot ! J50 more. The 'pat' immediately raised me $50. The opener now faid down his hand , re marking that ho had no further business in the deal. My single opponent looked mo over carefully , and said : "You can bet mo $350 if you want to' allowing mo the privilege of a like raise. , I bet him the full $230 , and he promptly raised mo a like sum. I saw this bet and then went 350 harder. My opponent hesitated , and tlicn said good-naturedly : " 'Enough is as good as a feast , and 1 won't press you too hard , so I'll call. ' "At the same time he laid down four queens and reached for the pot. When I showed my four aces ho was the most surprised man you ever saw , but without a word ho arose from the table ami left the room. I never touched a card again , for I had determined to kill myself had 1 lost. " ' THE SWEET GIRL GRADUATE. " Mixture of Blue lllbbons , Sentiment , Poetry and Hroken Resolution * . Catherine Cole in New Orleans Pica yune : Just at this time of the year a girl whom I know very well is about to begin tier voyage of 11 fe , as she terms it in her valedictory. She is the sweet girl grad uate. She has sent oft * to all the John Thomases of her acquaintance scented little notes of invitation to attend the commencement exercises at the institute. She is very pretty if somewhat crude , and wears banged hair and many white ribbons. Her gown is white , with a sweeping trail. It is to her like a foretaste of bridal finery. She is in a flutter , and sup poses that this is the great trying ordeal of her life. She carries her diploma as a young queen might carry her wand of otlico. Her valedictory Is tied with blue ribbons , and tbcro is a good deal of sen timent and poetry in it. She talks about the stormy sea of life ; of hope , the light that was never on land or sea , and she is smothered in flowers when she makes her pretty bow of retirement. She has al ready gone through the inevitable ceremonial menial of vow taking with her school chum. They are to write to each other every other day. They are to keep each a diary , and exchange tliem at the end of the year. They are to have no secrets from each other. They swear never to marry , but after a time , when they have been out in so ciety long enough , they will meet somewhere , rent a house or a flat to gether and live inseparably for the rest ot their mortal lives the one devoting herself to china painting , the other to Kensington embroidery or wood carv ing. We have all heard her rave over her bosom friend , Alice Maud , the ani mated repository of all her secrets. Six months go by. Wo meet Agnes or Ethel , as the case may bo , and inquire after the bosom friend. She draws up her slender body and her eyes look daggers that John Thomas wishes were buried in his heart , so sweet if yet so sharp are they. "If you moan Miss Smith , " says she , "I know nothing of her. 1 decline to know anything about her. She came to my house and flirted so shamefully with Mr. Itrown that ho has never oeen back since. I shall cut her the next time I see her , the hatelul old thing. " AN ILLINOIS V0DETIA , Another Added to , the Series of Grimes in Hardin County , LIGHT ON A , DARK MYSTERY. A flaco Where Mfo is Cheap nnd Mid night Assassination Not Infrc- fluent ThuiltlllmR of fllem- * bcr8 of the licit Family. Chicago Tribune : The assassination Monday night , Juno 6 , of Logan licit , near Elizabethtown , Hardin county. 111. , adds another crime to a series that has extended over many years and caused some bitter feuds in that section. A ro mantic tinge is given this particular crime in that there are evidences that a woman was an active participant in the shooting , licit was returning to his house from a visit to Cave In Hock when killed. The name of this little village is taken from a cave near by , which was in early days the hiding place of river pirates , horse thieves , murderers , and all manner of outlaws. Near the town lives Captain Hiram J. Melt , once a soldier in the union army. This gentleman and his two brothers. Captain Jonathan licit and Lieutenant Logan Melt , at the break ing out of the war lived in Crittendon county Ky. , and were men of culture and refinement. They espoused the union cause and entered the army , Jonathan and Hiram J. reaching positions as cap tain and Logan that of lieutenant. Hav ing incurred the cnmitv and hatred of their rebel neighbors , at the close of the war they thought it best to come to Illi nois , and sold out and took their families to Hardin county , where Hiram and Logan became prominent in politics. Jonathan , donning clerical robes , began preachhiir. Thus things went smoothly until Houston Belt , a brother , was killed in the streets of Kji/.abethtown in a per sonal encounter with Capt. Gibson , ajso u late captain in the Union army. For this Gibson was tried and acquitted on the plea of self-defense. Sonic timii after this Gibson was shot from ambush on the highway and killed by some person un known , and , while a few persons sus pected thai Captain Jonathan Kelt was the avenger of his brother's death , no ar rests were made. Captain Holt continued to preach , and the mystery has remained unsolved. About the last of Deccmber,1877.Logan Belt , while at a country dance , became involved in a dillieulty with "Doc" Old- ham. A fight ensued and the combat ants separated , but Oldham on recover ing his erect position , started for licit with a pair of brass knuckles , and when just within reach Hell , retreating , shot him mortally. For this he was indicted , released on bail , tried in Gallitin county in 187'J ' , found guilty , and sentenced to the penitentiary for fifteen years by ver dict of the jury. "Ho was pardoned out a year or two ago for good oohavior , gain ing quite an allowance of time and re ceiving very complimentary mention by the authorities. r He had always had many friends , who stoutly maintained that he was innocent. In the same neighborhood just before the trial of Logan licit , Luke Hambrink , a German farmer , a man of some wealth , was assassinated &t his own door on his return from a visit to a sick neighbor. Shotly after this a secret organization was formed of certain of the neighbors with the purpose1 , as they avowed , of per fecting a detective association with the view of fctretingbutthe assassin of Ham- brink. Others of the neighbors , who were not members of the association , de nounced thorn as being nothing more or less than ku-kltix , and endeavored to in voke the law in its suppression. A num ber were indicted under the ku-klux law , This intensified the feuds , and while this excitement was at its highest , Logan licit was tried for the murder of Oldhamwith the result above detailed. The ku-klux indictments were afterwards quashed , and the community was quiet for a year or two. The next excitement that arose in the county was over the attempt of a negro to commit an outrage upon the daughter of Captain Jonathan Dell , then living at the county seat , Elixabethtown. i'he negro was caught , tried , found guilty , bound over , and placed in jail. A mob numbering some two hundred took the prisoner from the bhcritf ana , just out- Bide the corporation , hanged him to a trco. Captain Jonathan and his son , Theodore Holt , were indicted for this , but just before court Jonathan died , and on trial Theodore established an alibi , and was acquitted. Since that time social order in Hardin averaged fully up to that of other counties until May 19 , lS84when the court house and all of the records were destroyed by fire by the hands of an incendiary. A largo reward offered for he arrest and conviction of the culprit failed to throw any light whatever on the midnight deed. October 29 , 1880 , the community was thrown into a lluttcr by the news that Earl Sherwood of Elizabethtown , the democratic nominee for state senator in the forty-ninth senatorial district , had been indicted and arrested for alleged complicity in the murder of Hambrink back in lb8. Sherwood at once with drew from the senatorial race. It was said thttt some one had niade a confession to the effect that six men went to the residence of Hambrink in the night and two wont into the house and committed the murder while four remained outside. Inoluded in these six men , it is claimed , was Mr. Sherwood. The others , it is al leged , were Logan Belt , who was a brother-in-law of Sherwood , Henry and Tobe Lcdbetter , James Belt , and George W. Ratcliffo. Sherwood , Ratclifle.James Belt and Logan licit applied for a writ of habeas corpus , and the case came up be fore Judge McCartney at Elizabethtown November 4th. After a three-days'trial Sherwood and Rate I life were admitted to bail in the sum of $2,000 each and James licit in the sum of $5,000. Logan Belt was refused bail 'and put in jail with James Belt , but ou the trial a few weeks ago Logan Belt was acquitted. Henry and Tobe Lcdbetter did not apply for a writ , but after the evidence they were admitted to bail and later the case against Henry was nollcd. The 'mystery ' surrounding the murder , whicUseems , to have been only one of the many red incidents in Hardin county's bloody vendetta , is still as great as ever. ' To the Public.
