In the dramas of the courts many cases
como up for judicial adjudication that ap
peal to the liner sensibilities of human na
ture , yet none more so than the legal battle
bcRan yesterday In the county court over the
iwsscsslon of two children , ono n boy , the
other a plrl , for whoso | x > sscsilon f.ithcr Is
arrayed ugninit mother , and husband against
wife.
Pretty little 11-year-old Vlrpio Kusscll and
her 0-yc.ir-old brother , GeorRO Worthlnijtcm
Kusscll , are being fought over In the courts ,
the father wanting the euro and custody of
both , the-mother sceltingbyleg.il 1110.1113 to
have them to herself.
The parties to the case arc Marv
C. Hussell and Gcorgo P. Uusscll ,
who were united In marriage at
Galena , III , on January 21 , ! & . For a
number of years no cloud darkened the little
homo and the Hfo was on * of continued hap
piness , During tin-so ycaYs two children
came to bless the union , ono a girl , Virginia
Fletcher , now 11 years of age , and the other
a boy. George Wortlilngton , over \vhoso
head the storms of nine winters have passed.
llrokc Up Tliolr Home.
In the summer of 18bU the family came to
this city and for a time
all went well , the husband mak
ing money and providing a peed homo for the
wlfo and the little ones , but as the years
rolled on he commenced to neglect the hearth
stone and associate with men who were far
beneath his equal. The llijuor habit was ac
quired mid from that tlmo on the downward
course was a rapid one. so the ; vifo alleges.
Ho becfimc cross , abuslvo and morose. Then
came the breaking "P of the home , and in
the fall of IbUI , with her two
little children , Mis. Kussoll went to fat. P.iul ,
Minn. , there to bi-gln Hfo anew and earn a
pittance for hoi self and the ones who depended -
pended upon her for support. By hard work
and practicing the strictest , economy bho
kept the children in school.
Occasionally letters passed between Air.
nnd Mis. Kusscll , but no attempt to
reconcile the domestic trouble was ever >
made. In July of last year the father
wrote from this city that ho wanted to
see the children oneo moro and If they
could visit him for a short tlrno ho
would pay the expenses of the trip and re
turn them when the time had expired. An
agreement to this effect was entered Into
and ono bright morning the mother kissed
the little boy and girl , put them on the
Omaha-bound tr.iin and bid them God
speed. They were mot by the father at the
depot and taken . to his boarding
house , where ho showed them every
kindness. Their- Omaha Hfo was ono
of enjoyment , as their every wish
was gr.itilled , the object , so it Is alleged ,
being to estrange them from their mother
nnd cause them to forget the Iwundlobs love
that was felt for them by the woman in the
far-away Minnesota city Finally the time
for their return rolled around and the little
girl was getting icady for the return jour
ney , at the end of which she would
meet her mother. That Journey was
never inado , for the father put his foot
down and declared that both
boy and girl should stay with him until they
were old enough to take care of themselves.
The malls carried this information to Mrs.
Ilussell , who by letter pleaded for her babes ,
but ft deaf car was turned to tho. pleadings.
Scinching for Her llnljlcs.
A few weeks ago she gathered together
the little hoardings of the many months and
cnino to Omaha. Upon reaching this city
she demanded her children , but the demand
was met with a rough reply and she was told
' that she had bettor go back to St. Paul , and
that at once , for there was no use of staying ,
ns the children were satisfied to remain
whcro they were. The woman insisted upon
seeing them and hearing this statement from
, their own lips , but this request she was de
nied. Then she commenced a vigorous search
nnd found them In the custody of n woman
named Cor.i Emcluth , who resides outside of
the city , on the west side. Mrs , Hussell vis
ited the house but was denied admission , or
oven the opportunity of conversing with ncr
children , though she allegethat she learned
enough to find that they are kept from
school and are living the lives of outcasts.
With the Information that she gained Mrs.
Hussell has gene Into court , whcro she has
asked for the custody of both the children ,
alleging that neither Hussell nor Cora Emo-
luth are lit persons to have the earo and cus
tody of any children of tender years , and es-
pecJally these two.
County Judge Eller has considered the
.cnsc , nnd has sot It for hearing next Friday
afternoon , when all of the interested parties
.will bo brought before the court.

1'rotontod Applications.
Two protested cases were heard by
llccuso board yesterday afternoon. Snow ,
Lund & ; Co , , were charged with illegal pub-
Hcntion , as was also J. J. Seville.
Mr. Snow claimed that ho advertised in
the World-Herald because ho received a
guarantee , and because ho believed that the
World-Herald actually had the largest cir
culation In , Douglas county. If TUB BEE had
given a guarantee ho would have placed his
advertisement with this paper. Witness
claimed that ho did not know of the resolu
tion of the board designating what paper
advertisements must bo published In. Mr.
Snow said that during October ho sub
scribed and paid for live copies of the World-
Herald.
A Bni ! advertising man stated that Mr.
Snow had said that if Tnu BEE protested bis
application ho would never advertise in Tun
Bun again. To this remark witness replied
that it made no difference whether ho adver
tised any moro with the paper or not as it
was merely standing up for its rights.
Mr. Fed was questioned about giving guar
antees to applicants and said that it had not
been necessary to do so , as the resolution of
the board was sufllcient guarantee that ad
vertisements placed with Tiic BEB were
legal.
Dr. Seville knew of the resolution , but
thought the World-Herald guarantee good ,
nnd as ho could save $10 ho took his adver
tisement to that paper. Witness said that
dm Ing October the World-Herald left flvo
papers a day at his plaeo for free distribu
tion. This closed the hearing of cases for
the day. Only ono moro protested case , that
of J. T. Waterman , remains to bo heard and
was sot down for next Monday night.
In executive session the commissioners re
fused to grant the tvo applications of II
Walenz for a saloon license , but considered
that Snow , Lund & Co. and Dr. Seville had
acted in g&od faith and granted their
licenses.

The Nebraska Marble and Granite Dealers
association began Its annual session at the
Hotel Dellono yesterday , the delegates pres
ent representing a big majority of the dealers
la the state.
The meeting was called to order by Presi
dent Frank Kimball of Lincoln , and among
the Important mattcis to bo considered is
the pivpar.it Ion of a Hen law to bo presented
for adoption by the legislature , allowing the
dealers a hold on monuments after they hnvo
been placed in cemeteries , for money itue.
"It is pretty hard on us , " said a prominent
member of the association , "to bo compelled
to sell our material with no chance to re
cover it in case wo do not get our pay.
At present It Is Impossible for us to touch
a monument after It is once hot up. Wo are
obliged to look to the purchaser and gut
what , wo can out of any other properly that
ho may have ,
"While a monument la not of much value
to us or anybody but the purchaser after the
letters have once been cut In It , yc.t If wo
had a Hen law that would enable UE to re
cover pieces of work that are not paid for , I
think we would have less trouble In making
collections fitmi some poopln who have verj
little honor or honesty. I don't know that
wo can accomplish much at this session of
the legislature , but the matlr w ill bo talked
over , at least. "
The association will bo In session a couple
of days , and will elect new oftlccis for the
coming joar. All the meetings will bo held
at the Dcllone hotel. Mr , .lames Kildow

The "revival services at the Methodist
episcopal church were suddenly brought to
close last evening by the burning of the
building.
The lire started from an overheated stove
in the second lloor. In the absence of the
regular" janitor a young man named Smith
las had charge of the building for some days
ust. At the usual hour last evening ho
tartcd a lire and went homo to supper , when
he steve heated up away bcjend what the
man expected , resulting In u blaze
which left the church a wreck.
Councilman James Bulla first saw the
lire and almost extinguished It with two
tails of water , but before ho could secure
nero the lire was beyond co.itrol of the ono-
iian bucket brigade. In the meantime an
ilarm was tinned In from the American DIs-
rict Telegraph ofllce , which confused the
lire department and caused delay. It Is also
stated that when hydrant connection was
nude It was found that a section of the hose
, vas frozen and unserviceable. At any rate

The fire was discovered at 0:45 : and was
entirely out three-quarters of an hour later.
The entire upper story of the church , which
ivas built of wood , was destroyed , leaving
' .lie brick basement unharmed except by
ivuter.
The loss Is estimated atV > 00 , with * 2r , > 00
nsurancc. The policy is held by the Church
Extension society as collateral security for a
oan of $1,000 advanced by the society to aid
n building the church. Somcthingover $000
of the loan has been paid , and the balance of
ibout lh ( ) is all subscribed but not yet col-
'
'cetcd. The exact cost of the building could
lot bo ascertained. It having been erected

Mr. letter , the grocer , living next door to
the church , had his household goods hustled
into the street and his sick wife removed
across the street to the residence of Mr.
Davis. Mrs. Ettor , who Is very ill , took the
matter , coolly and is none the worse for the
experience.
Hcv. Mr. Dawson , pastor of the church ,
usslstod the llremcn and went homo after It
was over pretty well covered with Ico. The
lire drew the largest congregation ever as
sembled at the church. The building will bo
rebuilt as soon as the insurance can bo ad-
usted and the proper arrangements made.

DUXXINO , Nqb. , Jan. 14. To the Editor of
THE BBC : In your daily of December 23
you have this item : '
; L. II. Harris , president of the Interna
tional State baiik' of Brewster , Neb. , who
runs a little grocery stow at this place , was
arrested this morning on a warrant sworn
out by J. L. Overman , charging him with
horse stealing. Overman claims to bo able
to prove his charge and will push the case
to the fullest ektent of the law. "
The only truth there is in this article Is
the fact tliat I was arrested.
The correct history of the case Is this : J.
L. Overman is foreman of the section at
this place on the B. & M. , nnd , of course ,
lives at the B. & M. section houso. Ho put
ojt a little box of corn and. tolled two of my
horses to his place and caught a p-t horse
that we have owned In the family a number
of years , and had him out in the brush of
the Loup bottom over night in a snow
storm and sent me a note demanding of mo
$5 for the damages. AVhilo I know that ho
hadn't a shadow of right to detain my
horse , and knowing that ho had only com
menced this to make trouble , I , to avoid , if
possible , any trouble with the man , gave
ono of my men $5 and sent him after the
horso. Ho , not llmling any ono to jiuy the
money to , and seeing how the horse was
being abused , unhitched the animal and
brought him home.
CTho next day Mrs. Overman , accompanied
by her father , K. E. Boaz , went to Browster ,
the county seat of this county , and swore out
a warrant for mo for alleged horse stealing
and It was served on December 20. The
sheriff read mo the warrant and asked me to
report at Browster as soon as possible. I
went to Brewster and reported to the county
judge. They were not ready for trial so it
was put off until Monday , December 20.
Meantime It. E. Boa * . Homer Calkins , the
B. & M. agent at this place , D. C. Berry , my
would-be competitor and your correspondent
of December , and .f. t > . Overman , the sec
tion foreman of the B , & M. , went around
boasting of how they would com let mo of
horse stealing , and that ( he B. & M. com-
oany was backing them , and that they
would have bo\eral railroad attorneys
to help prosecute the case. Mean
time they did write to an attor
ney at Broken Bow explaining their
caso. They reccixcil a letter from their at
torney at Broken Bow explaining the case to
them and telling them they had nindd a bad
blunder , and calling their attention to the
law and the penalty for conspiring to accuse
a man of a crime ho never committed. Then
they began to see the llx they were in. They
received this letter from their attorney at
UKI : : on Saturday evening the 24th , and be
fore iluj light Sunday morning , December 2. > ,
they were at our place knocking at the door
to wnko us up , begging for an interview.
They pleaded and begged for this thing to bo
dropped , and Interspersed , their pleading
with tears and sobs.
On the 20th wo all assembled at Brewster
for trial. They came in with the motion to
dismiss.Vo opposed the motion. The
court ruled in my favor , laud the trial de
veloped the fact that what they accused mo
of was a misdemeanor and not a crime. It
also developed the fact that what they had
done was a crlmo on their part , punishable
by 0110 year In the penitentiary and $1,000
tine. Li. H. H.MUIH.

Dramatic writers of the past few years
have been at their wit's end In their at
tempts to secure something now of n realistic
kind to indroduco Into the play. The reali
zation of Dramatist Haworth's hopes was
fulfilled when , after careful thought and re
search , he conceived the Idea of Introducing
In the third act of a "Nutmeg Match'1 a
complete working piledriver. This widely
heralded and successful comedy drama , will
bo the attraction at Boyd's theater this
evening , continuing four nights with Satur
day matinco. In this scene a great machlno
of this kind is shown , propeled by a vigorous
little steam engine. Miss Annie Lewis , the
dainty and buoyant little bit of humanity
who assumes the role of Cinders , has a
long line of stage successes to her credit.
Others in the company are Miss Helen
YVcathersby , Mrs 13. A. Ebcrle , Mrs. Fanny
Dcnnian Uouse , Henry Herman , 13. A.
Eberlc , It. F. Sullivan , Earl Brown and
others equally as capable.
No better cast than the ono that will bo

day and Wednesday of next week , was over

tion Agent , Charles Cowlcs the Stranger ,

"Pete Peterson. " the
Anglo-Swedish com
edy , w hich will bo presented at the Farnam
Street theater three nights , beginning to
night and continuing Ith the usual matinco
Saturday , is one of the most successful laugh
makers of the season. Its success has been
Chonomenal everywhere , and the press has
ee'ii unanimous in Its praises. The play
depicts i the laughable adventures of a Swed
ish i immigrant struggling with the intrica
cies of the English language. Ills adventures
are ; i varied , and the exquisitely humorous
way in which he extricates himself from the
many ! difficulties in which ho becomes in
volved : , Is laughable In the extreme. The
part of the Swede 'is plaj ed by Kirk Arm

the others who contribute to the fun-making ,
are Alllo Willard , Albert Denier , Agnes

The Now York Herald speaking of Miss
Florence Bindley , who Is the star of the
great play , "The Pay Train , " which appears
at FarnamStrect theater 'the week of January
22 , Sunday matinee , says : "She is a genius.
She is equally at home in pathos or comedy :
n vocalist worthy a leading position in grand
opera ; n dancing poet , as every step she
takes is the poetry of motion ; a face as ueau-
tlful as nature could make It , and ono that
no artist could do Justice lo. 'Tho Pay
Train' Is the most realistic comedy drama
over produced in this city. It is both excit
ing and thrilling , has many interesting situa
tions and holds the audience In wrapt atten
tion.
_
All lovers of the artistic in acting should
visit Wonderland and Bijou theater this
week and see Miss Nolllo Eltlng in the
character of Mathlldo do Villenonvo , mid
Mr. George Weasels in his powerful portrayal
trayal of.Jargon , the murderer , in "Tlio
Stranglcrs of Paris. " The balance of the
company is exceedingly strong , especially so
Mr. Harry Barlow , as Joseph Blanchard ,
and Miss Irene Worrell , ns Sophlo. Another
member of the now company worthy of es
pecial praise Is the ono who plays Jeanne.
Her Impersonation of the part shows careful
study , and she proves herself a valuable
acquisition to the company. The specialty
program Introduced before the-tho drama is
also strong , and each performer has to re-
bpond to repeated encores. Tomorrow every
lady visitor will receive a beautiful Japanese
basket as a souvenir.
