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. _

EXCITING POKER.
A Traveler's lleckless lircak Tor
Wealth or Ituln.
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. "

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. '
