THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : WEDNESDAY , NOVEMBER 30 , 1808.
G1LLETT CATTLE IN OMAHA
A
Bunch of Mortgaged Stock Found at the
Union Stock Yards ,
SHIPPED BY THE ABSCONDER'S SECRETARY
, C. Hohart Communion Company of
Chicago Get * In Jn t In Time
to Protect ! ( Intercut In
the Steer * .
Ono of the peculiar methods of Glllett ,
the Kansas cattle king , who recently col
lapsed with a lot of paper ho could not
meet and Is said to have fled to Old Mexico ,
came to the surface In a case In the dis
trict court here yesterday afternoon.
A lot of steers , numbering altogether 586 ,
had been shipped by John C. Morton , Gll-
lott's secretary , to Clay , Robinson & Co. at
South Omaha , upon which an attachment
was levied for three mortgages claimed to
have been given by Morton to the J. C.
Bohart Commission company of Chicago.
The cattle were all 4-year-old Panhandle
steers and were roughly valued at $20,000.
As soon as tbo papers could be made out
Deputy Sheriff Stryker went to South Omaha
and seized the entire herd.
The attachment was sued out by the J. C.
Bohart company. This concern alleged that
it had sold the cattle to Morton and had , ac
cepted Morton's paper In the shape of three
mortgages aggregating $25,784 , but that the
shipment to Clay , Robinson & Co. was made
to avoid payment of the mortgages. There
were two mortgages of $8,492 each on two
lots of 193 steers and. another for $8,800 , on
the remaining 200. The cattle came In from
the Schrader pastures In Marlon county ,
Kansas.
Fearing that the steers would got Into the
hands of ihc Union Stock Yards company
and Armour & Co. the Bohart company made
them defendants with Clay , Robinson & Co.
Stryker found the cattle at the Union Stock
yards.
The loot seen of Glllett was at Fort
Worth Tex. , and from this has arisen the
presumption that he either went to Mexico
or to some South American country , al
though his mother at Abilene , Kan. , is said
to have received a dispatch from him to
the effect that he has sailed from New
York to Spain.
Most all of his stock was replevlned in
Kansas yesterday by his creditors and the
Bohart suit here was simply one of a great
i many of a similar character.
MRS. KINGSTON GETS A DIVORCE.
Final Chapter In an Kxponltlon Ro
mance Written In Court.
1 The last'chapter"In the divorce suit of
Mrs. Frances 8. Kingston against Henry B.
Kingston was closed yesterday by a decree
being given to the plaintiff. One peculiarity
about tbo case is that this Is 'tho ' second
decree. Over a week ago Judge Fawcett
rendered one , whereupon It was discovered
that the matter was on Judge Scott's docket
and the decree was recalled. Judge Scott
eventually took action in the"case , freeing
thq woman from her husband of a few days ,
Kingston came hero ostensibly to see the
exposition. He represented himself to be a
man of considerable affluence and wide busi
ness connections , The Hlllsdale , at Eight
eenth and Douglas , sUlled him for a boardIng -
Ing place and pretty soon he won the heart
of Its proprietress , Mrs. Frances S. Dunn.
He "tried " to get "her " to mortgage the place
butshe : was a little too smart for that. He
went over to Council Bluffs one day and
when he came back ho said ho bad lost his
pocketbook. On the strength of this he
borrowed some money , , about $200. Then
after ttiey were married his business at-
* " ' ' - takeia
falrt"md' 'Unnecessary for-him to
trlp'afonce , he said' , land they went to St.
Joseph and thence to Kansas City , Mo. Their
ultimate destination 'was ' Denver , where he
said ho lived ; that is , he lived there In a
fine house part ot the year and In an ele
gant New York mansion the other part , but
most of the tlmo he bad to be on thd road.
At Kansas City he went out of the hotel
where they were stopping for the purpose ,
he to'ld her , of buying a railroad ticket from
a scalper. She never saw him afterwards.
This was not a great many days after they
had been made man and wife.
Her suit was based upon the ground of
cruelty under the law's provision covering
tha kind of treatment she received from
Kingston , towlt , misrepresentation with In
tent to defraud In a marriage agreement and
eventual abandonment. Mrs. Dunn says one
of her boarders introduced Kingston to hei
about a year ago , but she does not know
whether this party was In collusion with him
or not.
Criminal Matter * .

Date for Ucchcl'n llenrlnu.

torney Connell. are to get together semi
time today and agree upon a date for thi
trial ot the case against ex-Auditor W. F
Bechel of the Pacific Express company , it
When the liver's
wrong all's wrong.
Auer's
Pills
make wrong livers
right
which Erastus Young charges Dcchel with
the embezzlement of over $20,000 , Mr.
Hcchel was arraigned before Judge Sl.i-
baugh yesterday and pleaded not * guilty.
The old cane , it la understood , Is to be
dropped. The probability Is that Mr.
Bechel's trial will bo some tlmo next
week.
Aa the sixty-five counts against Bechel
arc mostly based upon the evidence given
by Andrew J. Hunt the defence will at
tack all hi * statements on the ground that
hlg testimony baa been coerced by the pros
ecution on a promise of Immunity. Mr.
Connell has a typewritten report of a state
ment made by Hunt , In which ho admitted
that he was promised Immunity If he woutd
testify against Bechcl. The admissions
made by Hunt also In the recent prelimi
nary hearing before Judge Baxter will bo
made the most of , a full report having been
secured by the defense. Hunt then said
that about $1.000 was used In his Colorado
mining deal after the dates of the checks
and drafts offered In evidence. Ho con
fessed , futhermore , < to having drawn up
one of the drafts and to having signed
Mr. Bechcl's name to It It was for $400.
Snlti on City Warrant * .
Two suite to recover on city warrants
have been commenced In the district court.
Henry J. Abrahams sues the city on nine
teen warrants aggregating $3,150 , Issued In
1891 'on account of condemnation of private
property , sewer construction and water
connections. The other suit was by Scott ,
Wrlgley & Hammond , bankers of Wyom
ing , 111. , to collect on a number of
warrants Issued to J. B. Knowles for side
walk construction In 1893 , aggregating $1-
565 ; Katz & Callahan for sloping lots In
1891 , aggregating $500 , and Katz ft Co. In
1892 , for sewer Improvements aggregating
$830. Plaintiffs In the latter case say they
purchased the warrants In controversy and
that It was with the understanding that a
special fund would be created for their pay
ment , but the city has neglected to provide
any special fund.
Decide * Aenlnnt O'Connor.
The mortgage foreclosure case of Allan
Bourne against Thomas O'Connor , Involving
he title to the O'Connor homestead on South
Eleventh street , near Farnam , and also a
question of law as to the adoption by a
mother of a signature made by her daughter ,
the mother being Incapable of signing the
document , has been deftdcd by Judge Faw-
cett In favor of the plaintiff. The court
lolds that the mortgage was valid. Inasmuch
as the mother had knowledge of the sign-
, ng of her name by her daughter and as
sented to It.

WOMEN ON CURRENT TOPICS
Pontponed Program Finally Carried
Oat and the Nninlicm Enjoyed
by a Goad Attendance.
Nature bos not been kind to the Woman's
club of late and Monday of last week was
the second occasion since October ) when a
blizzard prevented the regular meeting of
that organization. ' The' department of cur
rent topics would have furnished the pro
gram , on that day could It havo. had an au
dience. and by request It gave that pro
gram yesterday. The first hour was de
voted to the news of the week , reviewed by
the leader , Mrs. W. H. Garratt. Mrs. Crelgh ,
Mrs. Belden , Mrs. Howells and others
touched upon topics of political , commercial
and scientific Importance. The program
was devoted to the general topic of "War
and Peace" and was mainly occupied with
papers by Miss Laura Scott and , Mrs. T. H.
Crelgh respectively.
Miss Scott presented "Snap Shots ait the
War , " giving a series of pictures which were
Interspersed with humorous stories. The
common Incidents of these later months
those which have become household words
everywhere were developed so effectively as
to make them seem fresh , and "the " paper
closed with a-trlbuto to the soldiers' wife.
Mrs. Crelgh admitted ithat her point of
view differed from that of many In regard
to the necessity for war , but she withheld
no word of praise for the wonderful results
that have been achieved by It. "Where can
you , " she said , "find another country which
can declare war , enlist , , equip and' send to
the flold an army of 250,000 men , flght In a
foreign land under a tropical sun an enemy
strongly entrenched , destroy two great fleets
with the loss of but two men , utterly defeat
the enemy and compel him to sue for peace
and all In a hundred day's. " After dwelling
for a moment upon the. favorable results of
the war , Mrs. Crelgh passed to the consider
ation of the future and to the perils wblch
will bo Incident to the establishment of
peace at this time. She closed her paper
with some strong arguments against expan
sion. '
Mrs. Elizabeth Marney Connor , principal of
the Buffalo School ot Elocution , was a
guest of the department and she contributed
a recitation entitled . . "The Coward , " by
James Newton Matthews , to the program ,
She also gave n second selection In re
sponse to the enthusiastic demand of her
listeners. Miss Allen , without whom no
current topic program la complete , whistled
aa charmingly as ever. Her selection was
"Manzanilla , " and she responded to her
encore with a gay little polka.

Yesterday The Bee received the following
self-explanatory note :
Ed. Omaha Bee : Your article which ap
peared In this morning's Issue ot your pa
per under the caption of "Garland's His
tory" seems to have assumed the 'province ,
as though I were operating beyond the
scope of an legitimate enterprise , this prop
osition Is undoubtedly the resultant of the
occasional Inaccuracies contingent upon the
mode of quick dissemination of news In
vogue at the present day. As your valu
able Journal has p.lways adhered undevl-
atingly to those high and true functions
of Journalism the eradication ot wrong
and the dissemination of right , It cannot
be conjectured , that , under any circum
stances you would publish an unautbentl-
cated statement. I am misquoted In tbo
statement , that I characterized the expo.
m'gment as the "Rosewater gang. " The
exposition Is become a matter of history
and the story of Its shortcomings and final
financial triumph. Is familiar to us all :
the high tribunal of public opinion will
finally tell to the world to whom praise or
condemnation Is due , that It has been a suc
cess is unquestioned , but that It cannot

of n Deal In Finance.
In that section of the United States court
> reslded over by Judge Munger a jury Is
considering the Issues Involved in the 'case
of John W. Schofleld , receiver of the Union
National bank of Denver , against Edgar M.
.forsman . , wherein suit Is brought to recover
on stock that Morsman originally owned In
ho bank.
Prior to 1894 the Union National bank was
one of the financial Institutions of the moun-
aln city. It was capitalized for $1,000,000 ,
lorsman being a stockholder to the extent of
5,000. During the close times of 1894 the
bank became pressed for money , and , In
order to straighten out Its affairs , the Treas
ury department allowed It to wipe out $500.-
000 of bad debt ? by reducing the capital
stock this amount. This was done and the
stockholders turned In their old stock and
received a new IESUO In just haft of the
>
amount. Instead of Morsman taking his
now stock In his own name , ho had it Issued'
o his 15-year-old son , Frank , who at th *
Ime was in school. Later on the bank
jecarao insolvent and a receiver \yas ( ap
pointed. Among other acts , the receiver
sued on the stock , making Edgar M. Mors
man , the original owner , defendant , alleging
that .the transfer to the son was without
consideration , and consequently was void ,

members to ha'vo entire charge of the busi
ness of the association , .These directors

board. Other committees will bo appointed

representatives of a house enjoying the
privileges of membership and being entitled
to cast only one vote.

LIGHT AND SHADE
What -Several Women Who Saw Dark Shadows
Have to Say. '
"In every shadow she saw a ghost. "
These words described the condition of a woman driven almost to hysteria by
worry. Not by some overwhelming shock , but by the endless little Irritations ot
life which wear out the body as tbo constant friction ot a pulley wears out tht
stoutest rope. '
There Is nothing more firmly settled In medicine than tlmt the fretting Inseparable
from the homo-keeping life of women , strikes at every Important part of the physi
cal machinery ; particularly at the kMncys and adjacent organs.
When those organs go wrong the hsart beats arc Irregular , and there Is pain In
the breast. A bad taste In the mouth and heaviness In the stomach tell of Indiges
tion. Dots dance before the eyes and the hands and feet arc like lumps of Ice.
Small wonder Is It that women to afflicted get nervous and fanciful and start at
shadows. What Is to bo done ? Lot these women answer.
Mrs. C. N. Dushano of Vlnalhaven , Mo. , writes under date of July 6. 1S9S :
"I was badly troubled with my back and kldnc > s so that I could scarcely bar
to ha > o my clothing touch me. I lost flesh and appetite. A lady In tl.c snma
hotel gave me some good advice. I followed It ; tbo pain stopped ; my strength r -
turned and I am entirely cured , wholly by the'uso of Warner's Safe Cure. "
Margaret Hammond of Falrp'ay , Ark. , wrote March 16 , 1S9S :
"I suffered with kidney tnublo for two years , and tried doctors' modllne and
everything I could hear of. but I got no relief until I bought a supply of Warnsr'a
Safe Cure , which made me sound and w ll. I can highly recommend this
medicine. "
"I am thankful to * ay that Watncr's Safe Cure has done great wonders for me. I
would not bo without It. I was sick for two years until I got this wonderful Safe
Cure. I am well now. I tell everybody I can about this great medicine. "
So wrote Mrs. Hattle Mowery of Tarklo , Mo. , May 22 , 189S.
No advocate's pleading can add force to this testimony. The great American
people are the Jury , and their verdict places Warner's Safe Cure atovo nil olh r
medicines for diseases ot the kidneys , Utddcr and liver.

About a week ago John Hurley , alias "Red
Muzzle , " a well known character here , was
showing off with a giant fire cracker when
the thing expfoded and blew the end of one
of his fingers off. Dr. Furay dressed the
wound and Red Muzzle went to work to
drown his sorrow at the loss of his digit
by Imbibing freely of red liquor. A day
or two after the accident Hurley was sent
to the county hospital and his supply ot
liquor was shut off. The- other night when
the thermometer was hovering around zero
Hurley awakened Dr. Furay to tell him how
he had. been treated at the hospital. He
said that the attendant put him In a room
full of snakes and It was only by hard work
that ho had managed to jump out of a win
dow and get away from the reptiles. Hur
ley had walked from the county hospital
to South Omaha without any underwear or
shoes , and besides having a bad case of
tremens his feet and hands were quite
badly frosted. The doctor gave the un
fortunate man something to drive away the
snakes and then hunted up a place where
ho would bo cared for. Hurley had torn
the bandages from his hand and the wound
is In bad shape from being exposed to the
freezing atmosphere ,
