Detective Savage Is carrying a 'aco that
bears the appearance of having boon against
a buzz now , but It has In reality only passed
between the teeth of Mrs. Minnie I < ong.
At 0 o'clock yesterday morning Detectives
Savage anil Ucmpsey met a colored man ,
Peter lingers , who was staggering along
Jackson Bttvct , near Kourtrenth , carrying a
two-gallon Jug of wine , which was encased
In a sack. As soon as the chap saw the of
ficers he dropped his burden and ran. He
was captured and both ho and the Jug were
taken to the station.
A few minutes later n report was received
that the falcon located In the Washington
hall building had been burglarized Sunday
night anil n quantity of liquors had been car
ried away. One of the Items mentioned as
stolen was a two-gallon Jug of wine. Rogers
was consequently charged with burglary.
The prisoner alleged , Mow ever , that ho had
received the liquor from a stranger , whom
he did not know and could not describe.
The detectives conversed with the prisoner
and learned that ho was acquainted wltli
another colored man , Charles Long , more
familiarly known ns " 4 O'clock. " Think
ing that this Individual might know some
thing of the burglnry the detectives went to
hla residence , which Is on Eighteenth
street , In the rear of Tom Murray's row of
Bhantlca. Long wai nt home , and he was
laboring under an extremely burdensome
quantity of liquor. He was stubborn and
refused to talk with the olllcers. Finally
ho was placed under arrest , but before the
officers coiild get their hands on him he
Hew out of the door and down the street.
The officers started after him and captured
him on St. Mary's avenue.
Long was belligerent and put up a hard
fight. Whll the row was In progress , Mrs.
Minnie Long Charles' wife , ran down Hit ?
street with a knife four Inches In length
In her hand. Ueforo the olllcers realized
her motive , she slipped tip to the com
batants and handed the knife to Long. For
tunately Bho did not show enough foresight
to open the blade.
Long at once made strenuous efforts to
open the blade and Mrs. Long assisted him
as much as possible. She jumped at Olllccr
Savngo and Imbedded her teeth In his ear.
She got two other holds , one In the check
and the other In the chin before the officer
subdued her. The blood was streaming from
his face when he finally got the upper hand.
In the meantime Uotectlvc Dempsey had
wrested the knife from Long's hand and had
conquered him.
While the fight was In progress a hurry
call was sent to the police station for the
patrol wagon , but by the time the vehicle
arrived with assistance the fight was over ,
lloth Lone and his wife were arrested.

It was with an audible feeling of relief
that Valentino Hclntz climbed Into the wit
ness box at the city Jail yesterday afternoon
Ha has tiled to do that very thing for days
and days past , hanging about the police
court with persistency of a porous plaster ,
with the hope , which always went glimmer
ing , that he would at last bo permitted to
meet , fare to face , the colored damsel whom ,
ho says , stole $11C from his clothing while
he was seeing the shady side of city life In
Omaha.
It was well Into the afternoon before the
police court took up the case of the State of
Nebraska against Kittle Owens and called
on Hrlntz to tell his tale. Hclntz. then ex
plained that while calling on the woman on
the night of September 2 ho lost a roll of
bank bills , which comprised his entire sav
ings.

Holntz Is a one-armed citizen of Dakota.
IJver since he lost his money he haa been
laying the free lunch counter of the city un
der contribution for his provender and has
nightly bunked In the city Jail for sleeping
quarters. He charges the woman's lawyer ,
who Is ono of the hangers-on nt the police
court whose questionable methods wcro last
night called to the attention of the 1'lro and
Police board , with making the boast that
"he would continue the case until hu tired
Ilclntz out. " The attorney made so many
applications for continuances , which were
granted , that he would have made good his
threat , Hilntz says , had It not been for the
providential provision of food found at
Omaha's free lunch counters. The continu

FOUND IN A DEN OF FILTH

COMPLAINT FILED BY THE NEIGHBORS
Mtlle One I.oekeil III n CloNet While
ItH I'areiitt Went Out Ulilliifv
Custody or the Child ( iivcit
( Mer to a Iliiarillan ,
A veritable chamber of horrors , a den of
filth wherein to Imprison their Innocent
child while they went out driving or to en
joy themselves In other ways was brought to
light In the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
A. Smith , 1517 Ilurdcttc street , yesterday by
Rev. John Williams.
The discovery was duo to the complaint
of the neighbors of the family , who have
for some time suspected that the little child ,
a G-ycar and-a-half-old girl , was being
shamefully abused by the heartless parents.
When Smith and his wife went out driving
yesterday It was thought by the neighbors
that the time had come for an Investiga
tion. They therefore complained to Hev. Mr.
Williams , who in turn called upon the po
lice to assist htm. Chief of Detectives Cox
accompanied the minister to the residence.
The house was entered and the little girl
was finally located In a closet about a foot
and a half wide by three and a half long.
When the locked door of the room was forced
open the preacher and the officer shuddered
at the scene that was presented.
The closet was a picture of filth and dirt.
The lloor was covered with r.oxlous debris.
A small cot and the bed clothing upon It
seemed to be saturated with filth. A horrl-
blo stench permeated the atmosphere , as
there was no ventilation. It seemed to be
evident that the little girl had been kept
there frequently and for long periods of
lime and that no effort had over been made
to clean the place after Its occupancy.
"It was the worst sight I ever saw. " said
Detective Cox. "I became horribly 111
from the appearance of the room and the
stench that came from It. "
In the midst of all the fllth and stench was
the little girl. Margery Smith , the daughter
of Smith and the stepdaughter of Mrs.
Smith , Smith's second wife. She Is a very
bright and Intelligent appearing child. She
was removed to the police station and kept
there over night. She was very dirty and
was not clean even after the scrubbing that
the policemen gave her.
"I always wash myself , " the child lisped.
"I have not bad a bath for a long , long
time. "
The little girl Informed the police author
ities that she was put Into the closet when
ever thp parents left the house and was
locked In. Fiom her conversation it could
bt judged that she has had no care
slnco her n.other's death three years ago.
She stated that she was allowed to come
to breakfast , and was then sent back to a
room , where she was usually compelled to
remain during the day , with the exception
of time that was taken up by meals.
WENT OUT FOR A DRIVE.
Yesterday the parents of the child. were
away on their drive for four hours , and but
for the visit of the minister and
police officer the Ilttlo one would have bcei
compelled to have remained In her filthy
cell for that length of time.
The little girl said that her stepmother did
not whip her. but she showed a scar above
her knee which she said had been causca
by a horsewhip In the hands of the woman
seine time ago. She said that her father
beat her once In a while.
Smith was considerably disturbed by the
discovery and begged Rev. Williams not to
prosecute. Ho said that he did not knov.-
that the girl was placed in the closet as a.
prisoner. Hev. Williams told him that he
lied and refused to desist from the prosecu
tion.
Yesterday morning warrants were Issued
for both Smith and his wife , and as soon as
they heard of the fact they appeared nt
the police station and allowed themselves
to be placed under arrest. The only charge
that could be brought against them was
assault. They pleaded not guilty and the
case was set for hearing on next Friday.
A reporter for The Bee asked Smith for
an explanation , but he refused to give any.
He- said he did not care to make his line
of defense public , but stated that It would
be ehown that the circumstances of the case
were mitigating. Smith Is well known in
the city , being at the present time a
stenographer in the employ of a loan com
pany. Ho was formerly employed by the
Patrick Land company. Ills wife is a pretty
woman , who seems to be hardly more than
a girl.
Rev. Williams brought the matter to the
attention of the county judge yester
day afternoon by applying for ap
pointment as guardian of the child.
Several of the neighbors appeared in
court , and Judge Baxter held an informal
hearing , questioning the neighbors , the lit
tle girl and members of the police force as
to the situation. The little girl told a
straightforward story In a childish , Innocent
way that brought tears to the eyes of all In
the room. Neither the father nor the step
mother ycrc present.
N. H. Tunnlcllffe , a neighbor who Is fa
miliar with the treatment the child has rc >
ceivcd at the hands of Its unnatural parents ,
was appointed guardian after a conference
had been held with Smith by telephone.
Smith agreed to pay $20 per month for the
maintenance of the child , and It was agreed
that the little girl was to be sent to the
homo of Its mother's parents In New York
to bo educated and ncared. Smith consented
to this arrangement and the guardianship
papers were made out and signed.
A sister of Smith , a Mrs. Houston , had
been visiting nt the Smith residence for the
past wcclc or two and felt keenly the dla-
grace of the affair. She volunteered to take
the child back east with her and place It
vlth Its grandparents , and this arrangement
was agreed to ,

The finance committee reported adversely
on the application of the German Tribune

to be allowed to publish the delinquent tax
list. The committee stated that the expense
of complying with the request would be
larger than the condition of the genera' '

the list lie published only In the official

report was adopted , Mr. Klerstcad explain

tax list In English and did not cause the
list to bo circulated any more extensively
than when printed In an English paper.

together for serious business. In fact , the
association , which should be the most In
fluential federation of railroads in the coun
try , has fallen Into a kind of 'Innocuoua
desuetude.1 The officials whose piesence
would have been ol the utmost benefit lost
Interest In It and the attendance fell off
materially. This year , however , a special
effort was made to bring members out In
force , and to regain at the meeting the
pre-eminent position which a national asso
ciation should occupy. Both were eminent ! }
successful. The attendance waa larger
than ever before , eome 150 prominent pas
scngcr men having taken pait In the dclib
orations of the meeting ; and I never raw
an assemblage of men moro thoroughly in
earnest or more harmonious In their ac
tion. An executive committee was ap
pointed , with D. J. Flanders , president of
the association , as chairman cx-olflclo , com
posed of three members from each of the
great district associations , whoso duty It
is to take up within those associations the
matters discussed at Atlantic City and ic
port the action taken to a meeting ot tne
committee to be called later by the chair
man. The' meeting of last Breelc lasted
three days , and the sessions were long and
arduous. No purely local mat'ersvic
touched upon , as a matter of course , the
association being national in Its charautor ;
but the Importance of such a meeting in
strengthening the harmonious relations of
railroads reaching all sections cannot well
be overestimated. "

The schedule of southern excursion rates
soon to bo promulgated by the Southern
Passenger association , Is not likely to differ
materially from that of last year ; nor Is It
probable that the roads of the western associ

for their southern excursion business as
heretofore.

There is no reason under the sun why you shouldn't
buy your hats at "The Nebraska" and there arc ex
actly fifty reasons why you should. The first reason is
that "The Nebraska" guarantees its hats a new hat
if the old one doesn't wear as well as it should. The
second reason is that there isn't a block or shape or
fashion of hat that you can't duplicate at "The Ne
braska" at a saving of 500 to $2.00 according to the
exclusive hat store's price. The third reason is that
we charge only for quality nothing1 for the
maker's name and the other forty-seven reasons will
come to you any time you are ready to examine "Tho
Nebraska" hats. Some of the brightest bnins in
Omaha are this moment scintillating undsr cover of
