ARCHIBALD
DofenBO Oontinues to Play Hide and Seek
with'the County Attorney.
JUDGE BAKER DELIVERS ANOTHER REBUKE
Court nroluri'H Unit I Inl ron r 'utor
Mionltl Ho More nillucnt In
( lie I'ritiinriidoii of 111 *
Criminal ( 'linen.
If a few more loopholes are left open by
the county attorney , ( JcorgoV. . Archibald ,
charged with stealing $3,000 $ from the Pacific
Express company , will In all probability bnvo
his liberty without waiting for the formality
of Jury acquittal.
Prom the very beginning of the trial throe
daya ago the county attorney has encoun
tered trouble. First It was dlacpvered Just
In tbo nick of Unto that the defendant had
never been arraigned , and therefore had not
had opportunity to plead , Judge Ilaker al
lowed that oversight to bo rectified nnd nt
tha opening of court yesterday Archibald
was arri'lgntd and a plea of not guilty wag
entered ,
Hut another surprise was In store. The
prosecutor discovered that bo had failed to
list the names of two of hi * most Important
witnesses. This Is a formality that should ,
according to court rules , be attended to be-
lor * a case goes on trial. A motion was filed
asking that the additional witnesses be nl-
lowed nnd Judge Uaker granted the request.
Ho took occasion , however , to remind the
county attorney that ho should exercise dill-
gcnco In the preparation of his cases and
that he should not come Into court unpre
pared to go ahead with trial. Judge Dakur
spoke In language so plain as to admit of no
ambiguous Interpretation.
Following this Irregularity , fresh trouble
was encountered when the defense attacked j
the information agaln.st Archibald nnd filed I
n motion to make the prosecution elect which
of tbo counts In the Indictment the case late
to be based upon. Lengthy argument fol
lowed this motion. Only ono $3,000 package
was stolen , but the Information charges
Archibald with stealing It from the Pacific j
|
Hxprcss company , from the Klrst National
bank and from n bank at St. Paul , Neb. The
attorneys for the defense argued that the
state mu t settle upon the ownership of the
money and so charge In specific manner.
The stolen money was being shipped by
Pacific express from the- First National bank
of this city to the bank at St. Paul. The
Omaha bank delivered It to the express com
pany and It was stolen while In transit to the
railway station and never reached the St.
Paul bank >
Archibald appeared serenely contented
na ho sat In the court room , Ho
evidently relishes the trnpk Into which the
county attorney falls. The regular attorney
for the cxprcta company has entered the case
and la making an energetic effort to over
come the errore made by the county attor
ney.
ney.At
At the conclusion of the argument Judge
Oaker said he would withhold his decision
on the point nt if one until he has heard
Bomo of the evidence. Testimony was de
layed owing to the demand of the
defense for the exercise of Its right to chal
lenge tbo Jury. This was not attended to at
the outset for the reason that the attorneys
for the defense hurrkd matters through In
the hope of securing the release of thnlr
client on account of the failure of the county
attorney to have him arraigned for pleading.
Many of the juroru were excused and now
OIHH substituted.

The damage suit of Mrs , Sadlo Mack
against Cornelius Reynolds , a member of the
flro department , U on trial In Judge Keysor'n
court. The basis of the suit Is an affiaul'
alleged to have occurred June 30 , 183S. Thn
damage Is estimated at $5,000. The plaintiff
sets forth that the defendant made a violent
attack upon her and bruised her In a painful
manner. She alleges that a big doctor bill
resulted and that she suffered much injury ,
both mentally and physically.
The attitude of the defendant Is that ho
acted In Keif-defense ; that Siro. Mack wa *
making an assault upon Mrs , Reynolds and
her Infant child , and that but for his timely
Interference they would have sustained scrl-
ou injury. Mrs , Mack Is of middle age.
An Incident somewhat out of the usual oc
curred when the attorneys were questioning
the Jury. Dr. Crawford , one of the jurors ,
won asked If the fact that the- plaintiff Is a
woman would prejudice him in rendering a
verdict.
" 1 shall try and render a verdict In ae-
cordanco with the evidence and the Instruc
tions of the court , " the Juror replied , "but
on the paint involved I am a little afraid to
trust myself , for I believe I would Incline
toward the cause of the woman. "
Subsequently ho modified this gallant
tttatomcnt to such an extent that he was ac
cepted.
The Mncka and ( ho Reynolds were nelgh-
boiB and the troubla originated with the
feminine part of the two families , it Is ald.
U started as a "clothesline fight , " but has
now reached the district court.

Dlackblrd and nineteen other Omaha Indiana
to testify beforu the United Slates grand
jury next Monday morning relative to the
yelling of llrjuor to Indians on the rwiTva- ,
tlona in Thurston county. >
While there has always been liquor cold
to the Indians upon the Omaha and \Vliinc-
bago reservations the trafllu lias never
reached euch an extent an It has during
the last fenuceks. . Not long ago Jhe In
dians on thcso reservations received some
thing like $30,000 in cash on account of
claims against the government. Abgut
that tmo ( the authorities at Waihlngton rut
elf the field deputies in the United Status
marshal's office , anil immediately thereafter ' .
the "bootleggers" commenced to get In their ]
work. They entered the reservation from ;
all Hides , many of them having light wagon * ,
loaded with pint and half-pint bottlce filled '
with the vilest kind of liquor. This Htuff
they disposed of to ( lie Indians at $1 per
pint. Another lot of uhjle men entered the
reservation from Iowa. They came by boat ,
rowing a row the river and establishing
themselves along the hank where they did
a thriving business , It IH said that for day *
scores of the Indiana have been drunk and
that fights have been of nightly occurrence.
Whether Indicting ( -,01110 of the dealers In
liquor " 111 break up the tnidlc Is n thing
that the officials will not discuss. However ,
they will do the best they win to apprehend
and punish the offenders.

these contractors could haul the -tiansfer
