AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA * Onpturo of n "Smooth" Stockman from Colorado Last Evening. ACCUSED OF STEALING SHEEP IN DROVES Arrrntpct on AttrlrM from llie Wr t Wlt ( tlio Mnn lint In Say fin * lllmscir i\ciit : < of ( linlny In the City. Henry Wilson Is a clover crook , according to advices from HIIRO , Colo. Chief of Police Hcckott received word Friday ovcnlnir that Wilson has secured possession of 2,500 hear of sheep In Hugo and had shipped them to- South Omaha. 'Iho ofllci'rs looked Into the case nnd found that Wilson had been hereon on the 2th ami sold .Ml head of sheerc through the commission firm of Wagner , Hlrney & Co. The balance of the 2,500 head ' were shipped on through to Chicago , as Jtlicro WIIM no mnrkot for them hero on the dnv they arrived. If the police had been notill"d sooner It' would have been mi easy matter to luivo snared Wilson , as ho was about the ynrcu all' ' uav yesterday. Ho mailo a dale to meet Mr. Wagner at II o'clock yesterday morn- Inp , but failed to put In an appear ance. Wilson received the cash for the , sheep sold hero , ami the money for the baton that was soul to Chicago Is to bo paid to him , hero through the same firm The alleged , ] owners of the sheep Imvo mndu an effort to stop the payment of the money to Wil son , and may succeed , Although Wilson has been In South Omaha two or three times ho has nuver stopped hero over night and may bo In Omaha yet. If ho Is crooked , however. It is more likely that when ho got the cash for thu 241 head he sloped. , The tch't'ram does not state exactly how lie secured possession of the sheep extent "through forgery and fraud" The tclo- uraMi was signed by "L. Dana , Chief of Police. " Shortly after -I o'clock yesterday nflor- uoon Wilson walked Into Warner's ofllco and wrts given a seat. "Well. Imvo you heard anything from the v sheep , Mr. Wagner' " asked the fellow. * "Yes. 1 have , " taid Mr. Wagner , "and. there is something wrong. There , are fel lows nt tlio other cud of I lie line that claim , to own the sheep , and the ollicers are look ing for j on now. " "I don't understand how that can bo , " said Wilson. "Tho sheep are mine ami I have a bill of sale for them in my pocket. " .lust then Detective Mitchell , who had been patiently waiting for his bird over since V o'clock in the morning , stepped intc' the room and Informed Wilson to consider himself under arrest. _ Wilson was knocked speechless for a few .J seconds and ho went with the uDlcor out Into' the hallway , when ho wanted to so the warrant. "I have no warrant , " said Mr. ,1 Mitchell. "Tlien " Mitchell show mo your authority Hashed his star and Wilson hesitated , but , finally walked along until he got across the tracks , when ho stopped again and said ho would not go without a warrant. By thlu tlmo Mitchell was tired of being balked , and he gave thu prisoner to understand that 1C ho resisted any further ho would put him to sleep. Wilson then went to jail. He is a badly frightened man. but claims ' to own the sboep. Ho consulted with two attorneys and refused to talk Ho has been sailing here under the alias of John Andrews and has been stopping at the Leo hotel since Monday. Although Wilson is not a very sporty looking fo.low , ho has been having a quiet good time. When ho sold the ! M1 head of sheep ho only drew $35. Ho has Kept pretty close to the liolcl , but he had a good tlmo with the girls who worlc there , just thu samo. That is. he has been giving them some pretty sweet talk. Last evening ho was to take ono ot them out for . a sloigli ride and when his money came hof was going to make a few presents. Ho even \ tried to "mash" the landlady , but in this ho 'I was given a quick stagger. ' 'M Wilson is a rancher and halls from Bo * ' "i Unite , this stato. Ho has a bill of sale foi ? the sheep which shows that ho paid * 7,500 for the lot. This would bo a much higher tiguro than ho is disposing of them at. The bill of saic reads from the "Thurlow Land and Live Stock company to Henry Wil son. " Whether the bill of sale is genuine or not is a question. The chief of police at Colorado Springs tclegrnphcdiChicf BcckotC last night that the owner of thqshuep was on his way to South Omaha and that ha would Imvo with him requisition papers. Ono story is that \ \ ilson nought tlio shcnp with the understanding that ho was to take them to Nebraska and fatten them , but that Ku put them on the carK and shipped them , direct to a market. Ho will he held until , the parties arrive from Colorado. .MnRlo City ( ifiHslp. , The Associated Charities held a good meeting lust night and adopted a constitu tion and by-laws.
