" demanded Mrs. Nora Mycr of Chief of Police Slgwart early yesterday afternoon. The iiucry wnu Inspired by the refusal ol the chief and other police ofllcorD to arrest the womnn's husband without an Information having been filed. She alleged that at noon yesterday he rushed Into the ofllco on the third floor of the Knrbncli block , where she was employed , nnd threatened to shoot her. Jealousy was the motive of the threat. Mr. and Mrs. Mycr were married In Mem * phltf. Tcnn. , laK May. She alleges that ho told her then that ho was quite well-to-do and fully able to provide for all of her wants After the marriage ceremony he give her Jl" and Informed her that ho Intended to hustle and earn fomc more money. She mys that she afterward discovered that $17 comprised all of ! IH ! wealth and 'that ho has mndo no effort slnro lei Increase It. The Mycr ease first came under the no tice of the police about thrcn months ago when the husband wroteirom Memphis asking the authorities to locate his wife Mrs. Nora Mycr , ami his brothcr-ln-law Rlley , whom , he wrote , had eloped. The man and woman were found on Nortl Seventeenth street , where they rrsldct under the name of Mr. and Mrs. Rlley Mycr wns Informed of the fact and nskei Hint they be sent to the penitentiary at once , but the police refused to do this with out his assistance. As a consequence Mycr came to this city. Instead of placing him self In communication with the police , he went directly to the house where the runa way couple were living. They put him offer for a day. and when he ! returned he founi that they had gone. They were again lo cated , this time In the north end of the city Mycr ranged warrants to bo Issued for their arrest , charging adultery , but the cnso was never prosecuted , because ho and his wife tnndo up. Since then they have been living together on Dodge street. The husband has not been working , but Mrs. Mycr aecurci a position with a dressmaker In the Kar bach block. She snys that her husband Is very Jealous of her and has accused her o meeting mrn whllo she was away , osten slbly at work. Out of this Jealousy Mycr's act yesterday morning nroso. Iloth Mycr and his wife have had ex tensive matrimonial experience. Mycr Is eald to have had two wives before , both ol whom arc dead. Mrs. Mycr was married tea a man whose name was also Mycr. Ily the latter the had two children , who ore at present with her mother In Memphis. One of these children sent a letter to the chlel of police a few days ago , asking if there was nny truth In the report that the father wns In nn Insane asylum In this city.

CURFEW ORDINANCE INVALID Colonel Hoaglnml's ' Pet Mcnsuro Kuockcc Out in tlio First Round , DECISION HANDED DOWN BY JUDGE BAKER Court HiililN ( hut O rill nn IM-P 1'rolillilt- Chllilrcii from HcliiK Out if Dourx Aflff II O'ClooU lit MKht Is I'liooiiMlltultiinnl. _ Tlie "curfew ordinance. " wns knocked out In ono round by Judge Ilakor of llic criminal court yesterday morning , and Ijoys undur 10 years of ago nm > roam tlio streets of Omalm after 9 o'clock p. in. without fear of molcst.itlon liy tlio police and without being accompanied by a cliapcrone. The oullnance was dcclnrecl to be unconstitutional , for the reason that I' ' conflicts with the flntiltoj of this Elate , and the cnso ngnliist Rons Crone was ordered dismissed. The ordinance originated with Colonel Alexander Helgoland , the "newsboys' friend , " nnd was Introduced In the city council by F. U. ICcnnard. The essence of the ordi nance Is contained In the first two sections , which nre as follows : "Section 1. It Is hereby made unlawful for any person under 15 years of ago to be or remain In or upon any of tlio streets , alleys or public places In the city of Omaha , Neb. , at night after the hour of 9 o'clock p. m. , from March 1 to August .11 , Inclusive , ol each year ; and from September 1 to the last day of February , inclusive , of each year , after the hour of 8 o'clock p. in. , unless sncli person Is accompanied by a parent , guardian , or other person having the legal custody ol such minor person , or is In the performance of an crrcnd or duty directed by such patents , guardian or other person having tlio care am ! custody of such minor person , or whosi employment makes It necessary to bo upon said streets , alleys or public places during the night time after said specified hours. Provided , this exception shall not apply when the person under tmch age shall bo playing or unnecessarily loitering In or upon any such street , ally or public place , whether alone or accompanied by a parent , guardian or any person or persons whomsoever. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall on conviction , bo lined In uny sum tenet not exceed $10 , for each offense , and stand committed until such line and costs ara paid. "Ssc. 2. It Is hereby made unlawful for any parent , guardian or other person having the legal care and custody of any pemji under 15 years of age , to allow or penult any puch child , ward or other person undei such agewhllo In such legal custody , to goer or bo In or upon any of the stresls , alleys or public places in said city within the time prohibited In flection 1 of this ordinance , 1111- loM there exists a reasonable neceiulij therefor. Any pcrton violating the pro visions ? of this poctlon dull , on conviction bo fined in any sum not exceeding $25 for each ofTcnsc , aud stand committed untl such fine and costs arc paid. The ordinance was passed March 17 , 1S9G but was vetoed by the mayor. The veto wa > overridden by tlio council , and the ordi nance became a law March 2J. The only arrest made under this ordinance was that of Ilos Crone , a boy about 8 yean old. Ho was convicted In the police court , and Attorney Glair offered his services to carry the case to the district ccurt , whore ho said he was confident ho could have the ordinance declared unconstitutional. Clalr signed an appeal bond for Crone and the boy was released. Early this week a motion to dismiss the case on the ground that the ordinance was unconstitutional was argued before - fore Judge llakcr and a decision was rendered yesterday morning. In passing upon the mellon Judge llakcr said that under the statutes of the state a Justlcu of the pence or judge of any minor court cannot sentence any person un der the ago of 1C years for the commission of any crime. "It seems to have been the Intent of the legislature , " said the judge , "that persons under the age of 1C ycara shall not be Im prisoned In a city or county jail. If the Judge of a minor court finds a prisoner guilty of a crlmo he must send the person nnd the papers to the district court. The district court can then do just one thing. If the judge of the court finds that the defendant is a proper subject for the reform school he must send him there ; if ho finds to the con trary , the defendant must be discharged. This ordinance provides a line of $23 for Its violation , the defendant to etand committed to jail until the fine and costs arc paid. Such provision Is directly contrary to and In conflict with the statute * ) and the ordi nance Is therefore void and of no effect. Tht case is therefore dismissed.

An Item In the Lincoln dispatches yester day morning contained a statement to the effect that the attorney general had moved for a dismissal of the appeal to the supreme court In the case of Henry Bolln , convicted of embezzlement while occupying the ofllco of city treasurer of Omaha. It was stated that the ground for .tho motion was the fact that the necessary papers In the case had not been flled within the tlmo fixed by the supreme court. J. W. West , ono of the attorneys In the Ilolln. case , was asked yesterday morn ing why the appeal had not been perfected within the necessary time. Ho stated that the case had been delayed by a decision rendered by the euprenio court In the case of Hockenborger against the state. The papers had all been ready to file , Mr. West stated , when the supreme court handed down a decision In the case referred to , which opinion had a most important bearing on the Ilolln case. Hockcnberger was treasurer at Grand Island and was convicted of embezzlement. Ho appealed the case to the supreme court and tlio finding of the lower court was reversed , the reversal 'turning on a point which was an exact parallel with some of the testimony In the Ilolln case. This made It necessary , the attorney said , to remodel the brief already prepared and had caused a delay. He eald ho had no doubt the euprenio court would grant further tlmo for filing tlio papers.

At the meeting of the Hoard of Public Works yesterday forenoon a committee- from Central Labor union , consisting of A. Miller and J. C. Donahue , appeared to protest against the practice of allowing the chain ; ang to remove , frco of'charge , cinders from jutldlnga. This wati considered antagonistic to tlio ethics of organized labor , as It pre vented men from doing the work who could earn a llttlo money by It. The chairman of the board was Instructed to put a stop to the practice. The board spent over an hour In dlscudslng .ho claim of C. A. Jensen of nearly 72,000 alleged damages on account of the change of grade on Lake street. This Is an o.U ) natter that has been before the board forever over a year and It Is now proposed to din- ) oeo of It In some way. Jensen was the contractor on the street and notno tlmo after the contract was lot the board decided to change the grade. Jensen wati ordered to stop work and was kept off the street until after the change had been effected. Ho claimed damages on account of the alleged fast that his men and teams wcro kept Idle on account of the change , for which ho was not responsible. Yesterday morning the nombcrfi of the board expressed themselves n favor of allowing Jensen somu part of its claim It It could bo done legally , and the matter was finally referred to the city attorney for his opinion. 1MKI ) .

Williams moved that the request bo granted , but Klcistcad opposed such action , saying the board had glvm the party a chance to como before It and make nny statement he saw fit , but he hod not taken advantage of It. The speaker said ho did not think It was within the province of the * board to furnish a hall and an audience be fore which Thomas could nlr his grievance against the city electrician. Stcnberg said ho was In favor of a full Investigation of all Irregularities , but did no think the board shnitld listen In public t' random charges.
