Robbed While Drunk.
In Justice Dlgga court yesterday afternoon
elm Hoborts had a hearlnR on the charge of
nving robbed John Jack of $3 while the lat
ter was sleeping oft n drunk. The evidence
that Jack had been out nil Saturday
Ight on n spree , nnd that ho had spent al
most half of the $0 with which ho started In.
lo had ? y.65vith him Sunday morning when
10 went Into Cady's barn nnd staggering to
, ho rear wont to sleep. When ho awoke ho
'ound but 05 cents In his pocket , nnd three f 1
-Ills , which had been put In another pocket ,
ivero missing. As Roberts had been with
Aim n good Men ! , suspicion fell u | on him , nnd
Ofllcer O'Brien workedtho case up , leading
o his arrest.
Chris Christiansen testified that Hobcrts
ivas In his shop later In the day and was talking
about it. Ho asked Hobcrts whatthetroublo
was , as ho had heard something of tha nlTuir ,
and Roberts said that Jack had laid down
ivullo drunk nnd gone to sleep , and some one
Jmd robbed him of his money. Christiansen
remarked that it was good enough for such a
Bellow , ho ought to lose his money , etc. Then
ilobcrts said "Pm no fool , I got his money , "
nnd showed two or three crumpled bills.
Both laughed and thought it a good Joko.
George Guanclla , who had been with the
gang n good deal , did his best to help Kobcrta ,
and testified stoutly In his behalf , but on
cross-examination admitted that Hobcrts had
given him one paper dollar on Sunday.
Ofllccr O'Hrien had a conversation with
Hobcrts nnd told him ho had better fix the
matter up with Jack , but Roberts would not
do It , and claimed that ho did not tnko the
money. A little later , when ho had made
the arrest , Roberts tried to borrow $3 to pay
Jack , but was not nblo to do It.
It wns proved nlso that Roberts was about
the barn while Jack was sleeping there , nnd
that he helped get him Into a stall , which
wns the most inviting bed the place afforded.
Justice Biggs bound Roberts over to await
the action of the grand Jury , and in default
of the required 5500 bail ho went to jnil.
Roberts is a blacksmith , but docs not work
very steadily at his trade. Ho wns under
suspicion about three years ago of having
broken into a blacksmith shop nnd stolen
some tools. A house was afterwards burg
larized , and some of the tools were found
thcro , so that it seemed that the sumo fellow
was into both scrnpcs. Roberts was ar
rested , but thcro was not suflicicnt evidence
to hold him.

District Court.
It wns expected that Judge Deomer would
bo here yesterday to hold court hero , but ho
did not arrive aud hcnco nothing was done.
Ho is being detained at Atlantic hearing n
prolonged and sensational divorce case. It
is not unlikely that the case will last a day
or two yet. so that the time of resumption of
business here is indefinite.
In the trial of this divorce case n very
amusing incident occurred , the Joke of whlcU
so turns on Judge Loof uourow that ho tells
it on himself now and seems to enjoy it as
heartily as anyone. Ono of tbo witnesses
called for the purpose of breaking down the
woman's character was asked if lie had seen
men going to her rooms.
"Yes , sir. Oftentimes. "
"Who were they ! "
"I don't know them all. 1 used to sco ono
man go thcro very often. "
"Do you know his nnmo ! "
"No ; I think I could tell it if I heard it ,
though. Ho was n lawyer and belonged Ir
Atlantic , n largo , line looking man. Seems
to mo his numo was Loofbourow. "
Thcro was n smile which in going the
rounds struck oven the scclato face of Judge
Dccmer. The witness being further ques
tioncd refreshed his memory and was able to
name the man , positively , at last. Ho was
greatly mistaken in the name being Loof
bourow. Ho save the name ut last , it being
Churchill , whoso visits to the lady was ex
plained that ho were her attorney at thai
time and called simply on business.
Desirable Property.
The Babbitt tract lying on Upper
Broadway , adjoining the streetcar line ,
is being platted into lots by its owners.
They are extending Washington avenue -
nuo through this tract , also widening
Broadway west of the creek , and mak
ing this the most desirable property for
nice homos in the city. Lots and acres
are only sold to those who will built
and a number of houses are under con
tract and being built on this property.
Mr. P. J. Day , the ngont who is liana-
ling the property , bays ho has more de
mand for lots and acres there than any
where else in the city.

spring and summer wear , also pant

Whisky In Court.
While Roberts was having his trial in Justice
tico Riggs1 court yesterday , George Guanclla
seemed to bo very desirous of having a prl
vato talk with the prisoner. Ho made savcra
breaks to got Roberts to ono side , but did no
succeed until thcro was a httlo recess whili
waiting for a witness. Then ho und Robert
were allowed to step into the next room , am
getting behind the door , out of sight , as they
thought , George produced a well-tilled bottl
and gave his friend a long pull , the first Urn
Roberts had got a chance at for forty-oigh
hours , a long drought considering the fac
that Roberts had been drinking very freely
until arrested und locked up. Roberts ro
turned to his place In court evidently much
refreshed by the kind ministration of hi
friond. It Is evident that the prohibitory law
is not yet strictly enforced by the great stat
of Iowa.

A Great Tidal Wave.
A Cooktown special of March 26 , to
the New Zealand , Australia , News says :
The Gorman Now Guinea fateamor
Otillio loft Finschaven on March 3 for
Now Britain , having Baron Von
Schloinitz on board , and also Mr. Von
Below , coffee planter ; Charles Hun-
stein , a naturalist , well known in North
Queensland ; sixteen kankakas and four
Malays. The governor returned to
Finschaven in the Otillio , leaving a
party to select a suitable spot to plant
colToe. On the Oth the Otillio wont to
Lioko , and on her way back to Fins-
imyen culled for the expedition at Now
Britain. On March 15 , as no ono ap
peared , the captain went ashore and
found that great destruction had been
caused. Many trees wore uprooted and
floating about the harbor. The place
was totally changed , and of the expe
dition only flvo kanakas wore found on
.shore. Nothing could bo learned from
the kanakas beyond the fact that they
had boon up the trees , and had hut
nothing to cat for three days.
It is supposed thata volcanic eruption
took place und that a tidal wave , which
by the marks on shore rose about forty
feet , followed on the 13th. As all the
building materials and stores had dis
appeared the Otillio returned to Fin
schaven on the 10th and reported the
matter , and left early on the 17th for
New Britain with an expedition o
seven gentlemen to search after the
mibsing people. While the Otillio was
there they found a suit of clothes be
longing to Mr. Von Below , and also ono
pair of boots and ono single hoot belong
ing to Mr. Ilunstoin. Several sheets o
galvanized iron , bent like paper , were
also discovered. The Otillio left the
expedition there ) and they will remain
until the Samoa goes for them. The
captain of the Otillio is of the opinion
that all have perished. At Finscnavon
on the 13th , between 0 and 7 o'clock in
the morning , a small tidal wave came
came in , about ilvo feel high. The via
duct between Madanv and the nminlum
was destroyed , und also two boats.

Ait Exotic Blackleg Punished.
Paris dispatch to the London Daily
Telegraph : A. notorious rnstsvquouero ,
or exotic blackleg , has just been con
demned to a fortnight's imprisonment
and to expulsion from the pleasant
boulevards and the glittering cafes ,
wliero he had pursued his calling with
such impunity for a considerable time.
He _ 'hailed" from Peru , and his
specialty was to fall into conversation
with wealthy strangers , either foreigner
or provincial , whom he might meet in a
hotel or cafe , and to entrap them into
gambling dens. Ho had led an adven
turous life. In 18SO ho fought a duel in
Madrid , killing his opponent , who was
the son of a minister , and whom ho had
challenged for having insulted Queen
Isabella. Seven years after the minis
ter was Spanish ambassador in Paris ,
and meeting the man on the boule
vards ono day ho asked for and obtained
his expulsion from Franco. After that
the adventurer fought for Don Carlos ,
and was made a colonel.

IJurlod in n Well nnd Alive.
A workman named Joseph Dotilloux
has for the last six days been buried in
'
a well at Dourdan , not'far from Paris.
The well was being made and had boon
sunk to the depth of sixty-six motors ,
when the side fell in , carrying the man
to the bottom. It was at first feared ho
had been hilled by the lull or suffocated ,
but by boring through the fallen earth ,
and by inserting pipestho groans of the
unfortunate man were distinctly audi
ble. Ho is supposed to toe in a cavity ,
and has been supplied with food and
drink by means of the pipes. After
vain attempts to rcscuo him , in clearing
away the earth which had fallen , it was
found that to continue this would result
in a further falling in of the side of the
well ; so that to extricate the man from
the terrible position in which he is in , a
shaft is being sank at faomo Httlo dis
tance , from which a lateral pnbsago will
bo made to reach the bottom of the well.
