Mu. "ScAiTKiiiNO " who

run as well as usual. His boom is not

used to accompany his candidacy.

merely as an interested spectator. But
the stirring scones about him , and the

over the favorites and captured the
nomination.
SKCUKTAUY FAIHCMIMI in the past

I'CEjoiitntton and fraud.
Tins county assessment , putting the
valuation of real properly in the county
at $21,000,000 , may bo coiibidcrcd a fair
estimate. The trouble lies in making
the taxes equitable. The tax-dodger
has as usual undervalued his property.
When the books get into the hands of
the equalizing board the opportunity is
presented of bringing the individuals
of the tax-dodging family to terms. "

gathering of the society to our city.

Order of United V.'orkmon has llnishod

HOWS lias boon wired that our delegates
Hecurcd the next mooting of thatordor

honor comes a second dispatch that thu
Mationiu Grand I.oil go of the state will
convene in Omaha next year. This
nwicos six national gatherings which
will Und their way into our city during
the next twelve months. The ll&t ) how

claveof the Knights of Pythias for

Slttintlon nt Chlcnco.
Ycsterdny wns an eventful day ntChi-
cage , yol it closed without relieving the
situation of the uncertainly that pre
vailed when the convention assembled.
The three ballots taken disappointed
the friends of some of the candidates ,
nnd showed the worthlessness of the
most careful estimates that had been
made of the standing of candidates.
The expectation that Sherman would
largely lead was veritled by the ballot
ing , but the highest vole he received
was less than his more sanguine sup
porters had confidently predicted for
hiin.while Grcsham's vote was not more
than one-half of what hail been claimed
for him. Several other candidates
received fewer votes than had'
boon promised by. supporters who fanc
ied they Imd correctly ascertained the
opening strength of their favorite.
The ovcnt of y.ostorday upon which
the republican party Is most.hcnrtily to
bo congratulated was the withdrawal of
Dopow. It removed from the conven
tion ti danger , the disappearance of
which will give a sense of relief to the
whole party , oral least all of it outside
of Now York. Mr. Uopow received on
ono ballot a few voles in addition to
those of New York , but ho must have
clearly soon thai the great majority of
the representatives of the parly did not
want him nnd that ho could only sutler
further humiliation by remaining in
the race.
A nomination will doubtless bo made
to-daybut as wo have already said the un
certainty of the situation as great
now aa at any time. A great deal will
depend upon the course of the New
York delegation , nnd the report is that
the majority of it will go to Harrison.
This would make the Indiana candidate
decidedly formidable. At present , how
ever , ono man's surmise is as good as
another's , and the only trustworthy
thing that can bo said is thatof the can
didates now most prominent before the
convention the party will heartily endorse -
dorso the nomination of either.
A Knlsc Democratic Claim.
The presumption of the democratic
party in claiming all the credit of re
storing unearned hind grants to the
public domain is vigorously sot forth in
the platform adopted at Chicago. It is
there justly claimed that the policy of
restoring these lands was begun under
the last republican administration , and
furthermore that the democratic party
was incapable of doing anything in this
ma'ttor without the acquiescence and as
sistance of republicans. Moreover , it
is under the conditions imposed by re
publican legislation that it is now possi
ble to olTcct a rcstoralion of unearned
lands. * A very simolo analysis of this
matter will show the falsity of the dem
ocratic claim to all the credit in restor
ing lands to the public domain.
It was not until t'wo years of the pres
ent administration had expired that
there was any serious disposition mani
fested to restore for settlement the un
earned lands granted to railroads. The
former commissioner of the general
land olllco worked laboriously to bring
the administration to this policy , in
curring thereby the implacable hostility
of the corporations , and when finally lie
was successful in getting executive nt-
toniion to the matter , and the president
announced it to bo the intention of the
administration to restore lands to set
tlement so far as it was within the exec
utive authority to do so , Sparks be
came an object of tireless pur
suit by the corporations until ho
was driven from olllco. In this
work Lnmar was a willing instrument
of the corporations , and the country
well knows how he was rewarded.
The republican platform charges that
the appropriations made for carrying
out laws securing to sotllors title to
their homesteads have been used to har-
rass innocent settlers with spies and
prosecutions , under the false pretense
of exposing frauds and vindicating the
law. There is at hand some valuable
democratic testimony sustaining this
statement. In the house of representa
tives a few days ago , when the sundry
civil appropriation bill was being con-
sidorou.Mr. McShano moved that the
proposed appropriation of ono hundred
thousand dollars for protecting the pub
lic lands bo reduced tolifty thousand. In
addressing the house in support of his
motion Mr. McShano said-thai ho know
of his " personal knowledge of expendi
tures from the special agents' fund for
the procurement by perjury of false af-
lldavits which were used in the perse
cution of honest Bottlers , nnd intimated
that more money was used in persecut
ing good-intontioned people than In the
prosecution of frauds ,
The democratic party will hardly bo
bo able to make much capital out of its
boastful claim to superior inofit in re
storing unearned lands and guarding
the interests of Bottlers , particularly in
view of the fact that the men most so
licitous and ellicicnt in promoting this
policy wore sacriliced to the hostility of
the corporations.
A Olonn
Mr. Robert Lincoln , who is sojourning
in London , a few days ago expressed a
eontimont which should bo acquiesced
in by the whole American people , ana
carefully regarded by the newspapers of
the country and the politicians who will
talk in the campaign nt band. Mr.
Lincoln paid : "For the Mikaof decency
and national honor , let us hope the approaching
preaching contest will boat least a clean
one , and thut the element of personal
abuse will permanently bo eliminated , "
It is only necessary to recall the vulgar
scandals and indecent calumny of the
last campaign to find a juatillcation for
Iho hope that there w ll not bo a repeti
tion of it this year. There were bitter
campaigns before that of four years
ago , contoals in which personal abuse
was prominent in the arraignment of
candidates , but never ono in which the
country wns so completely scandalized ,
and the minds of men , old nnd young ,
so much diverted from the coitbidortt-
lion of the political iasuos involved in
thu campaign to the contemplation ot
the characters of the standard bearers
of Iho two parties presented in thu
wo rat possible aspect , Uhargos unlit to
be talked gf in private by gentlemen
wove spread broadcast through the columns -
umns oJ the newspapers to be road by
everybody auil freely ropeuvod to gap
Ing crowds by the political "stumpers. "
Cross jokes and indecent ribaldry \vcro
largely substituted for argument , cor
rupting and poisoning the popular
mind. It would bo impossi
ble to overestimate the ovll
consequences to public morals
and the dctcrlornUng clTect upon tlio
common appreciation of decency which
were wrought by the vulgar scandals
nnd the personal abuse of tlio last
national campaign.
Mr.'Lincoln is entirely right in sayIng -
Ing that the national honor is involved
in this matter. Wo invite and deserve
the contempt of the world when wo
recklessly besmirch the pcrsniml char
acter of men selected ns the leaders of
'two great parlies , ono of whom , by the
votes of an intelligent and free people ,
must occupy the highest ollleo on earth.
Such a course inevitably , in the oycs of
other nations , casts a stigma on the people
ple themselves. Wo cannot look for Iho
respect of intelligent Europeans when
we elect to the executive onlco of
Iho nation a man whom wo have our
selves branded as corrupt and im
moral , and it isno cxcuso or palliation
to say that all means and methods are
fair in politics. The public record of a
candidate is a proper mutter ot dlscus-
eiog , what ho has done or omitted to do
in an ofllolnl capacity may rightfully bo
considered , the question of his ability
and qualifications is pertinent for dis
cussion. But there is never any neces
sity for going .beyond Ibis , at least lethe
the extent of finding some cause for per
sonal scandal.
The campaign at hand will furnish
sulllcicnt to talk about and to think
upon to keep the tongues of the stump
ers and the minds of the people fully oc
cupied during its progress without the
aid of personal abuse from cither side.
There arc great and vital principles to
be discussed the popular interest in
which will not bo exhausted in four
months. Lot these bo carefully , earn'
estly and thoroughly debated , exclud
ing all baser matter , and the campaign
of 1SS8 may become memorable as the
beginning of tlio permanent elimina
tion of personal abuse from national
political contests.
Tun dense ignorance displayed by
English editors in American polilics
would bo ludicrous were il not at times
pitiable. The editor of a London
newspaper remarks : "I must confess
my inability to understand the news
which reaches -me that Mr. Cleveland
has been for a second time olcclcd
president of the United Stales by'ac-
clamalion. ' It is an honor conferred
only on two previous presidents Wash
ington and Lincoln. Others have boon
elected twice , but not by acclamation. "
That is English as she is road.
THE Iowa railroads are putting them
selves in a ridiculous position. The
moment the state commission arranges
an equitable .freight schedule , there
goes up a chorus of doleful complaints
from railroad managers of "ruinous-
rates which will send Iowa roads into
bankruptcy. " But when the same rail
road managers light each other and
carry freight for almost nothingit is all
right , even though the stockholders are
robbed to gratify the ambition of these
reckless "Napoleons. "
Other TmuilH Than Ours.
Once more Mr. Gladstone hns scored n
point , this time in Scotland , which perhaps
gives it greater significance ) than if it had
been matlo almost anywhere else. The dist
rict of Ayr at the previous election returned
Kiehurd Campbell , liberal unionist , by u ma
jority of 1,171. Upon the death of Mr. Campbell -
boll another liberal unionist , Evelyn Ashley ,
was put up , while Oaptain .St. Clnir , who
ran against Campbell , was ronomlnatcd. St.
Glair was elected Friday by a majority of ( KJ
in a total of 4,0')0. ) The Gludstonians mailo u
pain of 1,233 , while the liberal unionist loss is
403. The special significance of tills defeat
of the government is that the torica cannot
say , us they did at their Southampton defeat
the other day , that the compensation clause
of the local government bill did it. The gov
ernment , immediately after the Southampton
election , withdrew the llrjuor license clauses
of their bill , and thus the home-rule issue
was the only ono considered at Ayr. Mr.
Gladstone wrote , u letter to Lord
Ilartington , arraigning Iho liberal union
ists for not keeping llielr pledges ,
and Mr. ( Jhambcrluin took it upon
himself to reply. These two Jotters gave the
speakers in the various towns of the Ayr
burghs a text , nnd the result will make a
sensation in England , The coercion ministry
is constantly losing. Less is hoard of the in
vasion scare in England , due , perhaps , to a
discovery of Lord George Hamilton , made
public through the house of lords. This is
that the landing of an army of 100,000 men
has never been attempted in England , and
that an army of that * size. , with all its para
phernalia , would Involve so miu-h prepara
tion in the way of transports , etc. , that Eng
land could not help finding it out in time to
iimlco ready to relit four times that force ,
cither by land or water. Moreover , that the
transporting of 110,001) ) men is a feat never
accomplished over u body of wutcr as wldo
as the English channel. Lord George's dis
covery seemed f > o simple that the only won
der about It was that It did not occur to
everybody at the start. No sooner was this
soothing assurance advanced , however , than
leading soldiers at homo and on the continent
have been questioned , whoso verdict scorns
to agree that past precedents cannot settle
the question of landing troops to-day , with all
modern facilities for transportation ,
. " .
The orders of the now Gorman emperor to
the army and navy were not entirely reas
suring , but in view of his subsequent utter
ances it does not seem untiiTly fair to Im
pute to film a wur-hko purpuno. In address
ing Iho army and navy ho bhowcd that ho
htands by the famous speech of Prince His-
mnruU , which was the boldest manifesto , all
things considered , of the present generation.
Not only was Hussla notified that her policy
was offensive to Germany , but that if con
tinued , It would lead to war ; nor that alum ) ,
but she was Informed Just how Germany
would go to worlc to let loose the full force
of the cmplro upon the czar's domains. The
young emperor stands by all this , which is ,
In fact , the UUniarcklnn notion of preserv
ing peace. Emperor William's proclamation
to the Prussian people ( juvo more
distinctly the other sldo of the
pictuic. "I have assumed the government
looking up to the King of Kings , and nava
vowed to God that after the example of my
fathers I will bo a Just and clement prinro to
my people , that I will foster piety and fear
of God ; that I will protect peace and pro
mote the welfare of the country , and that I
will bo a lielpur of the poor and distressed
and a true guardian o.f the right. " This cer
tainly does not read liku the language of an
insiiHHirc man , and.hu begins his reign by an
act of reparation. The dfiToruuces' between
htm and Ills widowed mother , \vhch } have
been so long the senmlal of the Gorman
court , have boon henlett. No ono expects
him to earn nt once1 a trimito like Iho ono
pronounced upon IBo dead emperor by Mr.
Glndslono in the British commons , for ho
does not come Into power with n ripe nnntl
ami a purpose solminlzea by the thought of
death ; but there in .nothing In his proclama
tions to show that lie Is not nllvc to the bur
dens nnd responsibilities resting upon him.

Europe is looking the possibility of wnr
squarely In the face , nnd the preparations on
nil hands for what Is generally believed must
sooner or later c6mo do not hlg. Austria hns
hiullta military expenditures on n war foot
ing for MX months. It has to-day ns ninny
troops in Gnlllcm ns would bo Ihcro lo meet
war. So has Hussin on Iho olhcr sldo of the
lino. The Russian railroad to Snmnracnnd
has greatly shortened the trip to India. Where
Hnssla wns otico fencing with England with
n cavalry sabre nt arm's length , It hns now
crept close with n dnpger. Italy nnd France
Ret no nearer nn agreement on their tariffs ,
and the former has begna to fortify its exposed -
posed posts. The English panic over nn in
vasion has for Its llrst cause n belief in these
high In place that n grout wnr Is near In Eu
rope. The now wnr cloud may nil bo only n
turn to the screw by which the Austrian nnd
Gorman governments expect to squeeze out
now credits. There seems to bo no doubt Unit
In both lands Iho Iroops must hnvon nowrillc.
The new French nrm , the Lobel , has made
all the rest old. It is light , kills ut two miles ,
it burns a smokeless powder und carries n
lie-lit ball so that the soldier can march with
twice ns many rounds. This arm will give
troops big odds when the French army ull
have It. The German staff may feel it safer
to light before this is done ,
"

The boycotting of the Paris fair of 1839 by
the monarchical governments of Eurono is
more distinctly signalized than ever by the
continued refusal of Russia to take ofllciul
part In it. Hussla hns abundant reasons for
keeping on friendly terms with Franco , the
only great country on the continent of whom
shu has much to hope in the event of n great
wur. Hut the hatred of popular government
and the unwillingness to seem to forgive the
memorable uprising that overthrow the 13as-
tile Hi ITS' ) , which the Paris exposition Is de
signed to celebrate , are motives too powerful
to resist. Our government has taken de
cided and conspicuous stops to be olllcially
represented there , In common with nearly or
quite till the other republics of the world. It
Is a matter of history that the political ex
cesses in Franco during the closing years of
the eighteenth century excited strong cen
sure hero , but it is not these that arc com
memorated , while the government by the
people , as exemplified by the French repub
lic of to-day , wo can have only the heartiest
sympathy. As European countries are mak
ing provision tor the private display of their
products at Paris , the exposition is not likely
to lack in real value.

The rumor that Stanley has been wounded
In a fight with imtiVcs and hns been aban
doned by half of hl'S'incn cannot bo called ab
solutely incredible-since it is clear that some
unexpected mishap"must bo assumed in order
to account for thcjlong lack of authentic tid
ings from him. .As ono of the charges
brought against the gallant explorer by his
enemies is that ho is very ready to light the
Africans , nnd ns he has taken n route of
which a largo part lias never been explored ,
it is quite possible tn"nt he may have been en
gaged in battle. BUt it is difllcnlt to imagine
where his escort'would .go on abandoning
him. They nrc wfiolly dependent on him ,
nnd , ignorant as they must bs after their
long journey how rthey could roach their
homes , they are more likely to bo utterly
ana abjectly dependent than disposed to ex
plore on their own account. It v.-as In Feb
ruary of last year that these people were en
gaged by Stanley , and accordingly they have
been with him too long to make their re
ported defection very prolmhlo. Last No
vember there wns a story from Congo that
"there had been lighting between natives
mm Stanley's force , nnd that the rear guard
of the latti-r had been cut off , " so that the
present rumor may bo a revival of that old
ono.

TUB Charento election for a French deputy
shows an ebb in General Uoulnnger's
strength. M. Dcroulcdo was his candidate ,
n man conspicuous in his support qf the
Uoulangcr movement nnd aided by the
strongest personal endorsement from Gen
eral IJoulangor. Instead of heading the list ,
as was feared or expected , M. Dcrouledo
polls the smallest vote cast for the three
candidates running. In other elections the
Uonnpartiht vote 1ms gene to General
Honlangcr or his supporters , for Houlanglsm
is simply imperialism In a now form , and the
departments in which General Uoulnngcr
has been strongest have been those In which
the empire wns once .strong. Charento is
ono of these , and II on the second ballot ,
which the lack of an absolute majority ren
ders necessary under French law , the Uon-
apartlst vote is east for M. Derouleno mid
ho Is elected , General Boulangcr would still
win a decided success.

OMAHA , Juno U2. To the Editor of
Tim BISK : In the presence of all this
discussion about the" evil results of
trusts , I would call to your mind ono
possible romcuy. How would it do to
repeal all laws normitling the forma
tion of corporations , except 'for public
purposes ? Men will go into u private
corporation , with limited liabilities
and special privileges , but they will bo
moro guarded when they must assume
the responsibilities of partners ) . 1'or-
haps it would bo practicable to enact
laws whereby the powers to
act in n corporate capacity would
be taken awav from persons
who design the formation of
trusts ; ifso , what would make moro
easy the consummation of the idcaabovo
suggested. In Texas the question of
prohibiting all private corporations was
under serious consideration , even be
fore the evil results of trusts became
known.
It you think this mutter worthy of
consideration 1 will bo glad at some
future time to elaborate'and submit a
phui which has occurred to mo for car
rying it out. M. 11. RKDKIKLU.
Jlow Mnrvclotisly Uncertain.
Joe Howard , the well-known corre
spondent , in his last letter , bays , under
the heading of "Nebraska's Interesting
Situation : "
Right hero , by the way , lot mo toll
you an interesting story , showing how
marvclously uncertain white men arc.
The senatorial situation in Nebraska
is very interesting , and Mr. Thurston ,
of that great state , feels that his hand
is laid upon the hither verge of success ;
ISstcc was the choice of two-thirds of
the national'committee for temporary
chairman. Thurston , appreciating the
gravity of his own situation , ana rightly
thinking that the prominence of tem
porary chairman ot the great national
convention would bo of .service
to him in the senatorial campaign ,
bogged of Elkins and .lones that the
Blnino' men of tlio committee would
stand by him. These wary old cam
paigners wanted to know , don't you
knbw , whj.it . he would bo apt to say. what
line of thought he would probably fol
low in his opening address if ho were
made chairman , whereupon ho outlined
to them his speech. It scorned all
right , and when it was found that the
committee stood 1(1 ( to lii , the chairman ,
Mr. Jones , of Pittsburg , cast his decid
ing vote . for Mr. Thurston. Imagine
their surprise , therefore , when , under
a very thin veil of tally , Thurston gave
the Hlnino men a dose of wormwood
and gall that was much moro galling
than comforting.
The sentence ho made u. = o of , indicat
ing that it would bu a political crime
to dihobey the orders of Mr. Blaine by
forcing upon him a nomination after ho
had expressly forbidden it , bids fair to
become as historic as the three Rs of
IJrothor Uurchard in the last campaign.
Moro indignant men never lived than
Klkins , Ksteo and the host of Blniiioiterf
when they hoard it , and the bitterest of
Words , meaning much , too , in view of
Thurrflon's hopes for the future , were
delivered , red-hot , at him last night ,
nnd tlio way ho roosted lower during
the proceedings of the convention this
morning , mixing up hibpontcncehin the
most extraordinary mannnr , until the
house fairly laughed at him , if < a good
illustration of the fate certain to attend
a man who attempts to bo smarter than
his fellows.

Mrs. Kato Butler , wife of Major E. Butler ,
Second infantry , who died on the evening of
thoSlst , lust. , had been an Invalid forem-rn
year , but notwithstanding , her death was as
Muldon as It was unexpected. Up to a year
ago Mrs. Butler enjoyed remarkably good
health with the exception of occasional at
tacks of neuralgia. . The way in which her
youthful blown remained with her wns n
subject of remark among her old friends and
acquaintances. She looked moro like thu
sister than the mother of the oldest of her
six sons. Mrs. llutler wnsn mitivoof New
York , born on Long Island In 1310. She
wns only eighteen when she niarrieil , and no
moro bloninitift bride-over joined the Fifth
infantry , her husbntnl's old refrtmont. He-
fore the days of trnn.ieoiitinontnl railroad * ,
she followed the drum wilh lu > r husband
In long marches from Loavonworlh to the
lower Kio Grande , through Kansas , Texas ,
Now Mexico nnd Colorado. She , with her
lunlmnd nnd nn escort ot twenty men ,
marched across the plains through the
camp * of the Che.vennos , Arapalioos ,
Klowns nnd Cotnnnchcs , while she glad
dened the henrts of the young snvngcs who
bounded nlong side of the wuwm In wlileh
nho rode , with presents of sweetmeats. She
accompanied her husband during the
thirty years of her married llto everywhere
the exigencies of the service took htm Min
nesota , Dakota , Montana , Idaho , Nevada ,
Washington Territory , Oregon nnd Califor
nia. Mrs. Bntlor and her children were nn
board the steamer Don Cameron , going to
join her husband on the Yellowstone river In
1871 when It struck a snag near Sioux City
dnd wont down la fifteen minutes , taking
with It for the llrst tlmo the household goods
of thu Fifth Infantry , now again n victim to
accident by water.
Mrs. Butler was beloved by nil who know
her , among civilians ns well ns in military
circles in tlio Second ns well ns In the Fifth ,
her old regiment. The cmtcnrs nnd Indies of
the old Fifth were cutlmMnalle in their
nffcctlon for hor. Before she dle.d she It nil
the satisfaction of hearing how they expressed -
pressed their love for her. No mother was
over moro devoted , no wife more loving.
The funeral services will t ko place nt the

remains willthen bo Interred In thocemclory

OUTKAt512OUS CONDUCT.
K.G. llyloy Unmercifully Assaults nml
Tci-rlllcs JIlB Family.
Ono of the most disgraceful affairs re
corded in a land ot law and order transpired
nt the quiet and peaceful suburban hamlol of
Walnut Hill Thursday. E. G. llyloy , of n
paper store on North Sixteenth street , whoso
residence Is on Lowe avenue , Walnut Hill ,
wns driven out to his homo nnd family by n
cab driver from Stovcnson'ft barn In
n beastly state of intoxication.
Hyloy alighted nnd proceeded to demoralize
the family and household In general , while
his trusty escort n waited his command in the
street in front of the houso. ,
Kylcy's llrst attack wns on a sistor-ln-law ,
who was temporarily at his house assisting
In the care of a daughter of Kyley's who re
cently mot with an accident from which her
life has been hanging in the bnlanco for
two weeks , nnd only by the most
careful ami attentive medical skill nnd nurs
ing has she been arrested from what was re-
garued n hopeless case of concussion of the
brain. The sister-in-law was struck several
times by Uvlcy before she escaped to n neigh
bor's. Ho then turned his attention to his
wlfo , who wns driven by the Bamo brutal
force from the house. The family physician ,
who wns In the sick room , was the next ob
ject that met his enraged gaze. Ho escaped
by beating n hasty retreat , receiving no
worse injury than a fusillade of the most
awful profanity , which sent n shudder
through the person of all the residents for
blocks around. His BOH was the next nnd
lust subject of his assault , who fled as the
father drew a revolver. Ryley was nrmed
with revolvers nnd his conduct would hnvo
done credit to the pioneer days of Buffalo
Bill. Polu-o assistance was called , but be
fore the police arrived he was driven away.
The injured daughter swooned away and
layunconscious until neighbors
and medical assistance arrived. , and
restoratives were applied. She revived -
vived only to boconsciousof the awful scenes
she had witnessed and remained in an ago
nized state of nervous prostration. In a short
time H.vloy was again driven back by his
trusty cabman and landed at his residence ,
where he proceeded again to exercise his su
premacy over the household. The previous
flashing of lircarms had its effect upon the
family and all but the prostrate daughter flea
upon his second arrival.
This portion of the city is al
most wholely in the possession
of women and children during the daytime ,
but fortunately two orthrco men chanced to
bo near and were called to the rescue. A
warrant wns sworn out for Kyley's arrest
and placed In the hand ! ) of Constable Baber ,
who induced liyloy to accompany him to the
city where llyloy was Immediately released
by Judge Berkn. It was reported that ho
had secured bail by friends in the city and
would be kept by them until morning. The
work of restoring and comforting the
daughter was again In progress when
Hyley nnd his trusty- cab driver again
appeared on the scene , and again
all fled nnd left the coast clear for Hyloy , ex
cept Mrs. Hyley and n small daughter who
would not desert the bedside of the helpless
one.
Though intoxicated ho concluded that ho
had best use more discretion us Iho mnle portion
tion of Walnut Bill w.is returning rapidly to
their homes , and as the news of his outrage
ous conduct sproads.mull groups of Indignpnt
citizens could be seen discussing the inelll-
i-ieney of the law , nnd the best menus of
making a special law for this special case. As
the crowd drew near the house nnd the
sobs of the ngoni/cd and seini-conseions
girl came to their ears it was only
by the better judgment of some that they
were kept from violence.
Another warrant was sworn out and
placed in the hands of Constable Barber who
proceed to arrest Hyley , but wns resisted by
Jiyley , who dulled him to lay u hand on him.
The constable argued , pleaded , insisted and
implored Hyley to submit to arrest quietly ,
but ho said : ' 'No ! Touch mo if you Uaro ,
yon do it at your peril ! ' '
The constable retired for meditation to the
utter disgust of the citizens , who gathered
uj ) thu timid ollldul and lo.ined him
"sand' , and muscle to dislodge tlio demon
nnd take him safely hand-i-ulTi-d to tlio
authorities for further IiivcHtigation. In tlio
meantime the trusted cab-driver wns wailed
upon by a party of citi/.eiiH and given a lim
ited time to disconnect fjimself from Wal
nut Hill ns an accessory to Hyloy'H orimo.
The law-abiding sentiment runs high , and
if the law cannot bo applied effectively to
this case , other moans arc freely talked of
and will bo executed.
Hyley was finally Imiidcd over to the au
thorities and was given a trial. lite guilt was
HO apparent and the offense so flagrant that a
llnu of SflO and costs was Inflicted upon him.
He paid this nnd was released.
Tlio neighbors nnd thosu who know him
best did not believe that it was safe to give
him his liberty , as ho Is thought lo ho par
tially Insane. It Is said that ho 1ms been a
chronic wil'o-beater for years and the terror
of his family. A warrant was sworn out for
his nm-st on the clmrpo of insanity and last
evi-ninir it was servi-d on him by Deputy
KherilT Hunno , wlio lodcml him in the county
lull. Huvill be ( 'ivi'ii nn examination proba
