SUNDAY SHAVING ON TRIAL
Oast of the State Against Silvers Oalled in
Judge Maoj's Court ,
GOES UP ON APPEAL FROM AYLESWORTH
evidence In TnUrii nnil the CHMC
Given to the Jury Alt Interested
Aercc to Abide lij- the
Dcclnlon ,
The cnso of the State against F , B. Silvers ,
the Pearl street barber , charged with violat
ing the Sunday law by plying his trade
on the Sabbath , was tried before a jury and
Judge Macy In the district court yesterday.
The case la one of a largo number of a
similar nature brought by the Barbers' Pro
tective association to enforce the closing
ot barber shops on Sundays. Silvers was
convicted In police court and fined. $1 and
costs and the 'trial yesterday was on ap
peal from Judge Aylesworth's decision.
The case was appealed for the purpose ot
making a test and It Is understood the bar
bers who have horctoforo kept open on Sun
days will abide by the rceult.
Tbo defense made was that shaving on
Sunday was a work of necessity and a num
ber of wltnosscs were placed on the stand
In support ot this contention , Ono of the
witnesses was Dr. George Smith , manager
ot the Grand hotel , and ho testified that It
the barber shop In his hotel was compelled
to bo closed on Sundays many ot his patrons
would go elsewhere and the business ot his
house would bo materially damaged.
Judge Macy , In his charge to the jury ,
while he did not say BO In so many words ,
Implied that It was practically a necessity
tor barber shops connected with hotels to
: < ecp open on Sundays. At the same tlmo
tie eald this point had no connection with
the case at bar , as the defendant's shop was
not situated In a hotel. The case was given
to the jury shortly after 4 o'clock.
The Jury failed to reach a verdict at a
late hour last night.

DESPERADO'SJMINC ' DEED
( Continued from First Page. )
made a run for a nearby barn. Albro
started In pursuit and reached the barn just
as" Williams appeared on the back ot a
horeo ho had taken from ono of the stalls.
Ho fired again and 'the bullet struck Wil
liams In the leg. Just as Williams was
about to nro at Albro the honso shied and
the bullet went wide. Albro then man
aged to strike Williams on the head with
the butt of the revolver and brought him
to the ground.
The shooting attracted a number of men
to the spot and with their assistance Wil
liams was securely tied and placed In the
wagon and brought to the city jail , Tlarks
still driving.
City Physician Lacey was sent for and
an examination showed that two ot Albro's
shots had taken effect on Williams , both
In the left leg. Ono bullet was found 1m-
beddecl near the knee joint , while the other
after striking the bone , evidently passed
through. Williams , while the doctor was
probing for the second bullet , laughed and
told htm he had better probe the horse
ho was on when Albro fired , as ho was
sure the bullet had gone through his leg
into tbo animal.
Williams appeared unconcerned and
answered the questions put to him freely.
Ho said his name was Dave Williams and
that ho had been here all summer selling ,
swapping and stealing horses. He said that
it the horse had not shied coming out of
the barn he would have "winged" Albro
and probably made good hie escape. He
complimented Albro on bis shooting and
said ho was a nervy man.
A Dcniicrnte Character.
Williams appears to be about 35 years
of age and is evidently a desperate
character. He Is over six feet tall and would
weigh about 100 pounds. He has dark hair
turning gray at the edges and a dark mous
tache. He was dressed in rough clothes ,
with blue overalls over his trousers. Ho
looks the typical horsetrader , or more prop
erly speaking the typical horsethlef. It Is
doubtful If his right name Is Williams , as a
number of receipts were found among his ef
fects made out in the names of Gregg and
Gregory. Ho had about | 100 In cash on him
In bills which ho said he had made by steal
ing and selling horses. Ho was asked If ho
had stolen Laughlln's rnulo at Ashland. He
promptly replied he was the man. After his
wounds had been dressed he was removed
for safe keeping to the county jail.
While ho was being searched at the city
jail Williams asked the officers to give him
$2 with which to pay Tlarks the amount ho
had promised for the use of the letter's
team. When paying Tlarks Williams told
him ho guessed he had not expected to get
Into a shooting scrape when he agreed to
drlvo him into town.
Williams -was originally armed with two
revolvers , but had three when captured , as
he had taken Morgan's from him soon after
leaving the grading camp. While Morgan
was driving and Williams had him covered
with his gun ho leaned forward nnd took the
revolver from young Morgan's hip pocket ,
remarking ho guessed he would have use for
It.
MorKnii'N Story.
Morgan as soon na Williams drove off with
Tlarks put up his horses at Tlnrks' barn ,
borrowed a horse and rode into town , reachIng -
Ing home about 6 o'clock last evening none
the worse for his exciting experience. When
seen last night he gave the folio-wing version
of the affair :
"Hardln Moss , the constable at Loveland ,
received word from father's office about
noon -that a man wanted for stealing a
mule was In one of the grading camps
icar there and had Hie mule with him.
Moss asked mo to accompany him and to-
ctlicr In Moss' spring wagon we drove to
the camp , where we learned the man we
were after was eating dinner , Moss went
Into the tent while I stayed outslilo with
tbo team. Moss was In there quite a while
and I went Into the tent to see what was
the matter. Moss told mo ho hod given
tbo follow permission to finish hie dinner.
As I was moving toward the door of the
tent with Moss , both of us having our backs
to the horaetlilef , he suddenly opened fir a
on us. Moss was hit In the back and fell.
The horsethlcf made a jump for the door
of the tent and , leveling his revolver at my
bead , ordered me to jump Into the wagon ,
take the reins and lose no tlmo about driv
ing him out ot the country , I did as any
body else would have done under the circum
stances , climbed Into the wagon and took
tbo rolns. The fellow jumped In behind ,
saying : 'Now look sharp , young fellow.
Give 'cm the whip and get me out of this
as quick as you can or I will blow your
head off. '
"Not wishing to have my head blown off , I
whipped up the horses and started oft at a
gallop on the road toward the Dluffs. He
said bo did not know the. country , but for
mo to make for some railroad. Knowing the
country as well as I do , I kept driving
nearer and nearer to the city , bui when
we reached Crescent ho seemed to catch onto
the lay of the land and told mo not to getup
up to any tricks , but to turn the horses
north 1 did so. but managed to got turno'l '
around again and was gradually getting
nearer the city , when the horses commenced
to play out.
"At his orders I had to ueo the whip pretty
freely , but finally ho noticed the animals
were about done up and when we reached
Tlarks' form ho let mo go and bargained
with Tlarks to drive him Into the city. I
need hardly say I was glad to get rid ot htm ,
ns I did not know what minute wo might
bo overtaken and In desperation , If ho saw
ho was to bo caught , ho might have put a
bullet Into me just for a keepsake , All the
way he kept his gun on his lap and every
tlmo I would turn round ho would order mete
to keep my eyes In front and drive like h 1.
When wo were near Crescent ho pulled out
n wad containing , ns he said , $400 , which he
showed mo , and said ho had made It nit
stealing horses. I am none the woreo tor my
forced drive , hut next tlmo that I take a
drlvo I want to bo In more congenial com
pany. "
Joseph Morgan , who la ft son ot Sheriff
John Morgan ot this city , is 22 years ot
age. Ho has been working all the summer
at ono of Wlckham's grading camps.
Word was received from Loveland about 0
o'clock last night which Indicated that Con
stable Moss' wound was a very serious If not
( fatal one. The bullet struck him near the
spine under the left shoulder. It was probed
for but without success. Moss was In n very
weak condition nnd the attending physician
feared to continue tbo probing.
Cine to the GIIIIR.
The local authorities rue of tbo opinion
that Williams Is ono of an organized gang
of horsethlovcs and regard his capture ns
most Important. Sheriff Morgan obtained
a duo last night that Is believed will re
suit In the capture of other members of the
gang. Williams made no bones about be
ing a horseithlt'f and claimed to have worked
all over this western country. Ho seemed
proud of It. The police think It possible
thcro may bo rewards for the man , In which
event Officers Albro and James will bo the
gainers ,
Chief of Police Btxby In talking of Wil
liams' capture last night said too much
pralso could not bo given the two officers
who had effected his arrest. Albro's act
In following the desperado Into the barn
ho said was particularly plucky.
T"tio news when It reached the city first
yesterday afternoon caused considerable ex
citement , ns It was stated that It was young
Morgan who was shot.

ia. , uct. 24. ( spe
cial Telegram. ) While making the arrest
of a desperate character near Lovelnod , four
miles south of hero at noon today , Con
stable Hardln Moss was shot and possibly
fatally injured.
Moss , accompanied by Joe Morgan , son of
Sheriff Morgan ot Pottawattamlo county ,
left Loveland with a warrant for a man
commonly known ias "Jack , " charged with
the theft of a team of mules belonging to
Omaha parties. They located the man
wanted at the Fort Dodge & Omaha camps ,
a quarter of a mile west of Loveland.
Jack was found seated In a tent taking
his dinner. Moss immediately read the war
rant to him and in reply Jack asked that
he be allowed the privilege ot finishing his
dinner. His request was granted. Moas
then turned and stepped to ono side with
the Intention of waiting until the man had
finished his meal.
At that moment the man drew two re
volvers nnd fired a shot at Moss. .The bul
let took effect In the small of the back
near the spinal column. The man In his
desperation then compelled Morgan , who
was standing near , to drive his -team to the
tent , where they both got in and started
south towards Honey Creek. Morgan was
seated directly in front of the murderer and
at the point of a revolver was compelled
to drlvo In any direction ho was bade.
A posse composed of some twenty-flvo
men was hastily formed and every available
rig about. Loveland was pressed Into ser
vice and the pursuit was taken up. The
desperado and his victim were trailed south
to a point near Honey Creek and thence
southeast through the town ot Weston ,
where the posse -were only a mlle In the
rear.

From Weston the trail turned towards
Council Bluffs. At a point out from Weston
a distance. Morgan , the driver , was told
to go and a man supposed bo a pal of
the desperado , met them and with a fresh
team they proceeded en about seven miles
east of the Dluffs. Sam Alton of Crescent ,
one of the posse , came upon the pair nnd
after a short skirmish In which the des
perado received a bullet In the leg they
were placed under arrest and taken to

Many of the girls were sent to the reform

WASHINGTON , Oct. 24. At the cabinet
meeting today the most Important topic dis
cussed was the condition ot the treasury In

market. Nothing will be done at present

largo surplus In the treasury.

purchased by American citizens to engage
In Philippine Inter-Island trade. Under the

cannot engage In coastwise trade , and as all
tno trading vessels In the Philippines flew
the Spanish flag , much embarrassment re
sulted. Many of these- vessels have now
passed Into American hands and the sec
retary of wnr will shortly Issue an order
permitting them to fly the American flag
and enjoy all the privileges of American
register.
Information was placed before the cabinet
showing that about 300 negroes employed
by government contractors at Key West
had been thrown out of their jobs by tha
yellow fever at that point and that many
of them were In destitute circumstances
owing to the suspension of work. The con
tractors will bo notified that they must re
sume operations at least to the extent ot
employing these men.
