8 THE OMAHA. DAILY BEE : THURSDAY * JANUAKY 5 < 1888. PICKED UP ABOUT THE CITY. The Question of Contesting Judge Shlolds' Citizenship Raised. A VERY OLD INDIAN RANGER. Dual Affliction In tlic Ffttnlly of Ir JI. W. Hyde-Two Hllvcr Orny AVolves Hliot In the City. Judge Shield1 Cltizrnfililp. It wns rumored In town yesterdny that ccrtuln people In this city Intended to apply for n quo wnrrnnlo to test the eligibility of Judge Shields to the county bench. A re- jiorter for the Hnr. snw that gentleman mid naked him If ho hud heard of the contem plated move. Ho replied that ho had heard rumors of the hind , but not lately. They were based , ho said , upon alleged doubts as rcpards IIB ! citizenship and consequent eligi bility to the onico of county Judge. So far as ho wns concerned , Mr. Shields said ho would prefer that the question raised should bo feet- tied In the courts. Ho was prepared to meet It , but did not think it would ever bo raised. Ho was born In Scotland , ho snld. His father had served in tlm nrmy In the late rebellion. That fact entitled tlio son , the JudifO-eluct , to citizenship. He- sides , In 1W17 when there were no records in this city , his father took out his second palters , and although thcso can not be found , neither can any record of them bo had , there is no doubt at all that they were procured. Mr. Shields also claims that even If ho should act as judge before the taking of the proposed action or pending it , ho would bo acting as judge dc-facto , and any act of his would bo valid. This question was passed upon in the contest between K. 1C. Valentino and Judge Griffey Bourn time ago In the fourtli district of the state , which resulted in the former securing possession of the hitter's scat. Hut the court held that every act of the unseated ofllcial was valid. Mr. Shields ascends the bench to day. " OLD SCOUT JOHN. " A AVcll-Kiiowii Indian Spy niul Itnngcr. John Whistler , n famous old Indian scout , ' of trio Sao and Fox agency , Indian territory , is in the cily , en route to Ogalalla , where , with W. H. Norton , hu is interested in a rat tie ranch. Whistler came up from St. Louis , whit lice ho accompanied a couple of half breed daughters , who are In school there , and who have been at homo on a vacation. "Old Scout John , " as Whistler is familiarly known to all old army ofllecrs and all along the south west border , Is a Pottawatomle In ' dian , and for years has been a representative man of his people , as well as one of the most thrifty stock-raisers in the territory. Ho is a man of magnificent physique , and although lie IMS passed through fifty years of trying vicissitudes on the frontier , ho displays but few symptoms of the ravages of time. He acted in the capacity of scout and spy in many of the Indian wars of Arizona and the southwest , and during the late rebellion ho was the leaning scout attached to the famous Kansas Jayhawkcrs. Ho brought in the ilrst tidings alter the battle of Wilson's Creek , and rendered the United States forces valuable service in the hunting flowu and destruction of the atrocious Quiin- threll and his [ gang of house-burners and cut throats. In a talk with him at the Paxton this morning Mr. Whistler told a lir.i : re porter that just _ subsequent to the close of the war , ho married the daughter of an uriny oOlccr , and giving up the lasso , the rlllo and .tho trail , ho turned his attention to stock raising and farming and bus boon very pros perous. Meantime , however , at the earnest solicitation of the United States author ities , ho lent his assistance- running to earth the notorious Hello Starr gang of horse thieves and desperadoes. He arrested 13111 Wade , the most dangerous of nil thcso lawless spirits and brought him back to Wichita hand-cuffed , behind him on his horse. Wade got three years. The gang were all cither captured or killed with the exceptionof Hello Starr herself , Sam Fesscnden and Buck Hniloy , who are still at largo , and as inimical to law and order as In the palmy days of Wade's leadership.
