COX GETS A BROKEN FOOT
Late Ohiof of Omaha Thief Takers in
Serious Trouble.
FIGHTS WITH A MOTOR CAR CONDUCTOR
IllHlinlc O rr Sloniilnnrn Cnr on IJroml-
un.v 1,1-nilM to nil Allcrvnlluii
that Hnilx D
for Cox.
As the result of a fight with Motor Car
Conductor McCargtr , W. W. Cox , loto mem
bcr of the Omaha police force , Is Buffering
from a broken foot and has a charge of dis
turbing the peace lodged against him In the
police otatlon ,
Cox encountered his trouble yesterday |
afternoon In front of the county court house , i
When the train como opposite the court I
house Cox gave the bell cord a vigorous pull.
Conductor McCarger Immediately gave the
motorman the signal to go on and told Cox
the car would stop on the- opposite side of
the street. Cox was after a criminal who
had been token to a place of safety three
hours previously and was In too much ot a
hurry to rldo.fifty feet further , so ho made
another attempt to pull the bell. The con
ductor remonstrated and some vigorous lan-
guaga was used on both sides. Cox applied
an epithet to the conductor and stepped oft
the tinln. The conductor resented It and
kicked at Cox. Cox seized the conductor's
leg and pulled him off the car.
Cox got McCarger's head under his arm
after the two had rolled over the street In
each other's embrace and was giving the
street car man a severe pummellng when
Conductor Bluhm of the Fifth avenue line
canto by on his car. He sprung from his
car and went Into the thick of the fight.
Bluhm Is the pugilist of the line , and did not
hesitate to give the Omaha man a demon
stration of hi * ability. Ho struck Cox just
once and the latter laid down on the pave
ment. Bluhm put his knee on his breast and
held hlni there several minutes until ho ex
torted a confession from him that he had
had enough. Cox complained while ho was
being held down that bis leg was broken.
When Bluhm helped him to hla fAt ho was
unable to stand. The patrol wagon was ,
called and ho was taken to the police sta
tion , whore County Phjslclan Stephen.'on ex
amined his Injuries. It was found his left
foot was broken at the Instep. Two of the
bones were fractuicd and the tendons were
severely wrenched.
Cox was made as comfortable us possible
at the station while the street car people
were coming ) to a decision aa to whether or
not they would prosecute him. In the mean
time a telephone mesago was sent to Mrs.
Cox In Omaha and she came over on the first
motor train. Cox also telephoned to Attorney
Strlckler to come over and look after the
legal features of his case , and the attorney
arrived on the same train that brought Mts.
Cox. Manager Dlmmtck Investigated the
case and decided to prosecute Cox , and enmo
tei the city building and signed an Informa
tion chaiglng him with disturbing the peace
and interfering with a motor conductor in
the discharge of his duties. Attorney Stilclc-
ler ananged a $50 bond and Cox went home
with hla w ife.

for the crush cf young people who gathered
there last evonlne. There were sixty-two
members of the senior class and almost as
many of the JunMrs , besides a number ol ,
school friends. Mr. and Mrs. McCabe had
decorated their beautiful homo In a gorgeous
manner , and did everything possible to assist
the Juniors in receiving their friends. Car
riages containing the guests began to arrive
shortly after 8 o'clock , and the throng con
tinued to pour In despite the rain until the
house was crowded. Nothing was omitted to
make the event pleasant for all. O. F. Gel
lenbeck's Omaha Banjo club furnished the
music.

covering that there Is a strong sentiment li

of cleaning the streets , and when the coun
cil meets again the committee will be obliged
to report In favor of the purchase.
A majority of the members of the council
are now In favor of the purchafco provided

for the trial of a machine. No machine
will bo purihaeed until It lias been given ate
fair trial and demonstrated that It can do
the work better and cheaper than it can be
done by hand. A number of aldermen are
strongly In rev or of the machine that will
pick up the dirt from the streets
and carry It along Instead of
sweeping It up In vvlnrows to be gathered
up and hauled away. A local manufacturer
Is pieparlng a plan for the construction of
a Iwer maehtno , which he thinks will an

shops and furnished the city at less cost
than the prices asked for eastern made ma

operated by a separate gasoline engine and
it will sweep up the dirt and haul It
swiftly and silently.

William McVey , whom the Omaha police
once professed to want very much , was given
his liberty yesterday with the knowledge and
consent of the Omaha officers , after the Coun
cil Bluffs deportment had been put to con
siderable trouble to hold him.
MoVey was arrested lu Council Bluffs sev
eral days ago In company with his brother
and " " of breaking
"Soapy" Smith on a charge
Into Rock Island freight cara. When the
men were searched at the station they we.'e
found to have In their possession several ar
ticles that answered the description furnished
by the Omaha police department of articles
taken at some recent burglaries there. De-
cctlvo Cox went over the river and Identified
IB articles and recognized tho. McVeys and
mltli as men badly wanted. The trio do-
Ined to cross the river until forcc.l to do so.
, 'hen they found that If convicted upon the
: iargcs against them hero they would note
o likely to receive a sentence of moro tlun
no year In the penitentiary they announced
iclr willingness to plead guilty to the
hargo against them here. They were held
o the grand Jury , but County Attorney
atindcrs , after listening to Cox's account of
ho ecrlousners of the charges against them
ml the certainty of their conviction of bur-
lary under the Nebraska laws , advised the
rand Jury not to Indict them. The grand
iry made Its report Tuesday evening and
Tuesday afternoon the Council Bluffs police
otlflcd the Omaha police of the decision of
tie county attorney. The Omahi ( tollco
otlflod Chief Canning of the Council Bluffs
orco to hold William MoVcy , but to let the
thers go. McVey was token Into custody an
10 stepped from the door of the county Jail
nd was locked up In the city Jail. The
) maha officers were notified nnd promlsad
o send over an officer with the requisition
lapers early yesterday morning.
McVey was held as a fugitive from junilce
ly the order of Judge McGee at the morning
esston of the Council Bluffs police court.
\t 10 o'clock Attorney \V. S. Shoemaker
vent over from Omaha to eecuro the release
f McVey. He endeavored to procure an or
der from Judge McGee for the dli-charge of
ils client , but failed.
M'VEY GETS AWAY.
At tl o'clock Shoemaker appeared at the
all with a local notary to witness McVcy's
Ignature to a petition for the habeas corpus
vrlt. The Omaha police were again notified
} f the situation and Informed Chief Can
ning and Captain Gardiner that the requlsl-
lon papers had been left with some of the
ifllcers on this side of the river , either at
ho sheriff's office or the city police station.
: h's wao quickly disproved and the facts re
ported to Omaha. The Omaha ifficcrs then
asked Captain Gardiner to hold the telephone -
phone while they held a consultation. The
result of this consultation jvvas an offer to
ll&chargo McVey and the announcement
that ho was not wanted In Omaha. Halt an
hour later Attorney ShoemaKer appeared
with his writ of habeas corpus Issued by
Judge Smith. McVey was released without
any further delay. Three hours later De-
tcctlvo Cox came over with the1 requlsltloi
papers ,
County Attorney Saundera of Pottawatta-
nlo county Is too dazed at the outcome of
ite efforts to assist Nebraska Justice to do
the subject Justice , but down around the
Council Bluffs Jail there Is given voluble
expression to the disgust and other things
aroused by the fiasco. It was i a certainty
: hat the men who escaped could have beet
sent to the penitentiary on the charge ngalnsr
them. They are now" free , through the In
teiventlon of the Omaha police force.
Chief Slgwart says he know nothing o !
the matter until It was all over ; that Co >
acted wholly by himself , even securing the
requisition papeis without taking any ono
Into his confidence and that none of his su
pcrlor officers knew the late chief of de
tectlveo had taken any such steps. Captain
Haze tells much the same story , but Cap
tain King , who had been acting also as chle
of detectives , admits that ho knew Cox. had
the requisition papers , but he supposed the ;
were worthless , as they named Cox as ogen

removed from the force since the Paper
were made out. King did not consider th
matter worth the bother of getting new
icquisltlon papers , and so told the CouncI
Bluffs police to let McVey go.
It Is admitted at the station that th
evldenca against McVey was not very
weighty and the chance of convicting hln
was slight. It is also admitted that th
rhief of police and his executive staff dldn

blegram Special Telegram. ) The rumor
that William Waldorf Astor wae the ilonor
of the check for 25,000 to the princess of
Wales' Jubllco dinner fund for the outcast
poor of London Is now definitely discred
ited. The Westminster Gazette states on the
authority of a rollnblo correspondent who
saw the actual check that It was signed by
Thomas I. Llpton , proprietor of numerous
provision stores In the principal cllVes of
England and Scotland. Upton h s created
a gigantic business In n comparatively short
tlmo and It was recently rumored that
lloolcy , the purchaser of the pneumatic tire
and other great enterprises , had offered him
1600,000 for It , with the view of floating it
as a Joint stock company. Astor's refusal
to see any Journalist or furnish any state
ment regarding the rumor tended to main
tain the belief that ho was the benefactor.

BLEEDING PILES
And all other forms of this common am'
often dangerous disease readily cured wlthou
pain or Inconvenience.
Thousands of men and women are adllcte
with some sort of plies , without cither know
Ing the exact nature of the trouble , or , know ,
ing it , are careless enough to allow It to ru :
without talcing tbo simple means offered fo
a radical cure.
The failure of salves and ointments to permanently
manontly euro plleo has led many to bcllev
the only curu to bo a eurglcal operation.
Surgical operations arc dangerous to llf
and moreover not often entirely successful
and nt this tlmo are no longer used by the
beat physicians or recommended by them.
The safest and Burest way to cure any case
of piles , whether blind , bleeding or protrud-
liiK , Is to use the Pyrai.lld I'llo Cure- , com
posed of healing vegetable oils , and absolutely
free from mineral poisons and opiates. Tno
following Utter from a PltUburg gentleman ,
a severe sufferer fiom bleeding piles , gives
some Idea of the prompt , effectual character
of this pile cure. Ho writes :
I take pleasure writing these few lines to
let you know that I did not sleep for Ihrou
months except far a short tlmo each night
because of a bad case of bleeding piles , i
was down In bed and the doctors did mo no
good. A good brother told me of the Pyiamld
I'llo Cure and I bought from my druggtat
three fifty-cent boxes. They cured mo and I
will noon bu able to go to my work again.
