Nate Freeman wanted to bo the head ot a
fcoueehold , but ho went against two Jails and
a mother-in-law's wrath In one day and then
gave U up as a bad Job.
The police gathered Freeman In on the
charge of having disturbed the peace and
Judge Derka listened to two sides of a story
of domestic discord. The arrest was causeJ
by Mrs. Grace Freeman , wife of the prisoner. .
She raid that Freeman had taken her trunh
and clothing and had refused to let her havt
them. She could make a living for hersell
and child , but she was In need ot the cloth
ing which Nate had packed In his Saratoga
and removed to a storage warehouse. Sh :
had loved Nate dearly at one time , but he
had changed and now she was anxious to gel
away from him. She and Nate had talkeil
the matter all over and Nate had agreed tc
leave her and bother her no more. She had
drawn up a paper reading : "Separated this
21st day of July , 1805 , by mutual consent. "
This document she had signed , but Nate Imi
withheld his signature for some reason.
During the wife's recital Freeman told tht
court that he was willing to lake the wotnar
and make a good homo for her If she wouli
only come back and be decent. The wife re
fused to listen to ar.y such proposition ant !
said that all she wanted was her clotlilnf
and a chance to go home to her mother
Judge Derka finally agreed to dismiss the
case against Freeman It he would give hi !
wife the trunk and clothing. Freeman agreed
to the proposition , but said the trunk con
talned some of his belongings and he wantec
them , "There are two of your pictures
there , " said Mrs. Freeman , "and you can'i
get them out nny too soon to suit me. "
While Mrs. Freeman and nn ofllcer wen
after the trunk Freeman told his story to thi
court. He said he had worked for a numbei
of years In South Omaha and Mrs. Freeman'i
mother hud lived with them. He was laid of
last February and then the old lady got Ir
her work and turned the daughter ognlns
the husband. Thcrq were several quarrel1
and finally Freeman was arrested at Mi
mother-in-law's Instance , charged with hav
Ing bitten off Mrs. Freeman's nose. Tin
mother-in-law failed to appear at the trla
and moved to Council IllufTs. The case wai
dismissed and a flnct entered against thi
mother-in-law. Mrs. Freeman followed hei
mother to Council Bluffs and for some tlnu
all efforts at a reconciliation were fruitless
Some time ago Mrs. Freeman agreed to re
turn to her husband and he bet about maklni
It pleasant for her. He rented some fur
nlshed rooms and sent some furniture am
presents' over to the mother-in-law , who waite
to bring them over on the day of the re
union and surprise the wife. Ho went ovei
to the home of the
mother-in-law In Counci
niuffs and found his wlfo there. The oh
lady refused him admission to the house am
made him do his talking nt long range
While ho was leaning over the fence talkini
the matter over his mother-in-law called tin
patrol wagon and he was carted off to thi
Council Bluffs jail. He was released , as then
was no charge made against him. Ho ha <
about decided to drop the family and go 1
alone , and came back to Omaha. lie hai
Just reached his shop and commenced worl
whpn he was arrested and brought to th
Omaha Jail on the charge ot disturbing th
peace.
The matter was finally settled up. Mrs
Freeman has her trunk , the inother-ln-la :
ha ? her revenge and Freeman has a crop ful
of bitter marital experience.

Little by little as the western and northern
man from one cause or another strayed Into
the south , 1'e saw that the crops which the
native southern farmer had been raising for
10 past thirty years or more were grown
car after ytar to the exclusion ot nearly
very other crop. It was then that a few
estcrn men chose small pieces of land In
entral Mississippi and determined to try and
cmonstrate that the raising of vegetables and
rult would pay as well and may be better
linn Hie old tlmo staple farmproducts. . The
atlroads at once entered Into the spirit of
t the thing and with all the facilities at
heir command aided and abetted this ef-
ort to place these crops of the garden farm-
rs and fruit growers In the eastern , western
nd northern markets. The results of this lib
ra ! policy on the part of the railroads was
o Immediately apparent and the profits of the
loneers In this branch of Industry so satis-
ictory and quickly gained , that tt attracted
he attention of many newspapers both west
nil south. The result was that accounts of
lie. matter were read and discussed by fam-
lles who had become tired of the long tedious
vlnters of I'ne west as well as the hot , dry
utunfers and the chance every few years of
lot wind ! and drouth robbing the producer
f every vestige of crop and the consequent
oss and suffering that such a * condition en-
allcd. The westerner then determined to In-
estlgate the accounts he had read and heard
o many times. What was the result ? Sim-
ly this , that while he did not always find
verythlng exactly to his liking , yet the nd-
antagcs given by a section of the country
v lure two and three crops are successfully
grown In a single year , on the same land ;
vliere the climate was such rhat a man could
vork In the field nearly every day In the
ear ; where fuel In abundance could be had
Imost for the hauling , and where nearly
very kind of vegetable that had been expo-
Imented on grew to perfection all this was
resented so forcibly to the mind of the
lomeseckeri that ho finally decided to cast
its lot In this veritable land ot plenty , and so
ar as one can determine from an actual In-
pcctlon of his present condition and pros-
lects ho has had no reason to repent of his
holco of a location. All this has been done
vlthln the last few years. Now what a dif-
eremce ? What a change ? It seems Incred-
ble. Today It Is t'ae literal truth to say that
housands of western and northern families
ro located In the south. Mr. George W.
\meswho has but recently returned from n
rip through four of the southern states , re-
> orts that the changes In the south , cspecl-
lly In central Mississippi where Orchard
Ionics lands nre located , Is simply marvelmts.
And no'onder when you stop to consider
hat by the cultivation of strawberries , plums
caches , apricots , tomatoes , peas , radishes ,
rlsh and sweet potatoes , and other vegeta-
lies , the land Is yielding to Its owners from
25 to $200 per acre annually. There Is also
.notlicr thing to be considered and that IP
hat cattle do well In this country better In
act than In any other section of the land
hat we know of. They run out all the year
.nd do well and fatten easily. If In ad-
lltlon to the nutritious native grasses you
ced them on cotton seed hulls and cotton
eed meal and oil cake , obtainable at very
ow prices , the results are surprisingly satis-
actory and profitable. For all detail and
lata correspond with George W. Ames , 1617

There Is likely to be a general turning ovei
if the pawnbroklng business In Omaha as the
result of an order which hasbeen Issued bj
Mayor Demls by which pawnbrokers' bonds-
ncn are to be hereafter required to quallf )
for the full amount for which they arc rep
resented on the various bonds. The result
so far has been that only two or three o !
.he sixteen pawnbrokers have taken out theli
Icenses for the last six months of 1S95 , am
.t Is claimed that most of the remainder wll
njt be able to furnish a bond to conform will
the new regulation.
The ordinance requires every jjawnbrokei
o pay a license of $100 a year , or $50 even
MX months and give a bond In the sum o ;
15,000 , which shall be approved by the mayor
n previous years the bond was a matter o :
Ittle difficulty with the brokers. They go
together and one signed the bond of thi
others , thn result being that one man wai
iften represented as surety on six or elgh
jondK. A { the beginning of the present yeai
\Inyor \ Bemls called a halt on this methoi
jy refusing to allow any one of them to slgi
more than two or three bonds , and In sonu
cases tlio limit was placed at one. With semi
dlfllculty the bonds were finally fixed up ti
: onform with this order , but none ot thi
bondsmen qualified for more than $5,000 Ii
any one Instance.
Under the last order each bondsman mus
qualify for as many times $5,000 as he ap
) enrs as a bondsman , uud it is represents
that a majority of the p&wnbrokers will nov
l > a unable to furnish bonds. The new ar
rangement is approved by the larger dealers
but the smaller establishments are urglni
that the now rule will create a monopol ;
for the few brokers who may be able to pu
up such a bond as Is required. They asscr
that the bond fixed by the ordinance I
much larger than , should be required and tha
It should bo either reduced or they should b
allowed to sign euch other's bonds wtthou
qualifying.
In connection with this subject an ordl
nanco Is under consideration which will lev ;
a license upon all second-nand stores , whos
business Is not strfctly confined to householi
goods. Such a regulation Is In vogue In nu
nierous other cities and It Is claimed tha
many establishments do a pawnbroklng bus
Iness , but evade the payment ot a llcens
by discarding the three balls and posing a
second-hand stores. There dealers can east !
do the same business that Is done by th
pawnbrokers and It Is stated that seven
the pawnbrokers who cannot get a bond ar
preparing to go Into the second-hand bust
ness. About the only difference between th
method of the second-hand dealer and that o
the pawnbroker Is that no tickets are give :
out by the former. If the Impecunious clt
Izen wishes to pawn his watch nt a second
hand store ho simply sells It to the establish
ment. The dealer takes the watch , but In
stead of giving him a pawn ticket ho hand
the customer his business card so he wll
not forget the place. At the end of thlrt
days the customer may call and buy 6ack hi
watch nt the purchase price , added to the In
tcrest at the usual rates charged by pawn
brokers. As this Is simply a clever metho
of evading the payment of a license. It 1
proposed to checkmate the scheme by Im
posing a license on second-hand dealers a
well as the brokers.

August Wohlgeh has maJo a proposition
n tlio district court to his wife , Christina
Wohlgeh , that they shall secure a legal sep
aration and divide the property between
hem. To carry out this plan , Wohlgeh has
filed a petition , asking the court to make
such an order. Ills spouse has raised serious
objections on legal grounds. She has filed
a demurrer , In which she claims that a
divorce and a legal distribution of the family
> roperty cannot be both prycd \ for In one
> etltlon. If she fights the case she saya she
> reposes to attack ono question at a time.
She claims that Wohlgeh has mlsjolned his
causes of action. The Wohlgehs have lived
n Omaha over since 1SG3. Theirs Is a case
of common law marriage. According to Wohl-
geh's story ho and his spouse , the year prior
o coming to this city , mutually agreed In
Chicago , to spend life together In double
larness. Since residing In Omaha , Wchlgeh
las Industriously raised pigs and carted expressage -
pressage , accumulating numerous small par
cels of land about the city. This he Is wili

vorce him from hlg wife , whom ho charges

iVohlgeh has the best of the bargain , as
Wohlgoh admits that at her earnest sollcl-

Another petition was filed yesterday In the
Ish case , bringing Mrs. Mabel E. Ish Into the
court as an additional defendant , along with
husband , In the damage suit for $5,000
irought by Ferdinand Meyer , as admlnls-
.rator of the Chappie estate.
Last Saturday permission was granted for
.ho filing of the new petition. By Its terms
t makes Mrs. Ish responsible as much as
sh himself , for the killing of Chappie , the
allegations tending to show that Mrs. Ish
was In collusion with Ish to get Chappie Into
the Ish house , where he was murdered.
The administrator found It to his advantage
: o get Mrs. Ish Into the case , because Ish
.ransferred a $20,000 piece of Farnam street
ot to his wife at the time he gave away
ils property to the members oj his family.
This makes Mrs. Ish good for the prospec-
; lvo Judgment , without making It necessary
: o try to compel Ish to admit he made thle
transfer to defeat the suit of Mrs. Chappie.

The county attorney for Douglas county Is
making a streuous effort to assist the author
ities at Lincoln In convicting Alexander
Buckner of bigamy.
Buckner was placed on trial In this county
last spring for the crime. He had run away
with a State university girl , brought her to
Omaha and married her. At the time Buck
ner had a wife living. He was being tried
on evidence that the state regarded certain
to convict , but Judge Scott concluded that he
w'ould let Buckner go on the theory that the
court lacked Jurisdiction , because , though
Buckner and Miss Harrison had been living
as man and wife In Omaha , he had first In
duced her to leave her family for him In
Lincoln. The court then made such a
record In the case that Buckner claims he
can show he was .put on , trlaljtby Judge Scotl
and so can not be tried Uie second time !
The state has asked the court to correct the
record In order , If possible , to glve.Bucknei
a trial at Lincoln.

Four. Smooth .Men Gathered In hy the
Police.
Yesterday afternoon four men were ar
rested who nro supposed to be Chicago
crooks. They gave their names as J. R.
Cyan , Frank Ryan , James Edwardi and
"rank Gannon ,
From what knowledge has been ob
tained of their operations the men have been
working a very smooth graft. They have In
heir possession an Iron gray mare and a
Ine spring wagpn , which Is supposed to havs
jeen stolen from some farmer. With this rig
.hey have been traveling through Iowa , os-
: enslbly as peddlers. In reality they have
aeen working at this profession simply as a
blind. Stopping In their capacity as peddlers
at the better class of residences In the towns
through which they have passed , they have
succeeded Iti getting a knowledge of the lay
of the land about the premises. Some suc
ceeding night they visited the premises
igaln and carried off whatever they could
lay their hands on , either Insldo or outside
the houses. In this city several thefts
liave been traced to them. Monday morning
they drove down to the union depot und
loaded a number of caddies of tobacco and
a box containing 500 government cartridges
that were standing on the platform Into their
wagon directly before the eyes of the depot
employes. Later In the day they transferred
a number of sacks of sugar and other gro-
: erles which were loaded In a wagon belong
ing to R. Wadell , an Irvlngton farmer , In
front of Bennett's store , Into their own rig.
They are also supposed to have stolen a
horse and buggy from a saloon keeper at
Ninth and Jackson streets several nights ago.
Detectives Savage and Detnpsey have suc
ceeded In learning from the prisoners that
they have four lodging places In the city.
So far only one of these has been discovered
and at that place a quantity of plunder was
found.
