Monopolized by
( lit * Court * .
TIfo retirement of Judge Scott from the
bench did not -stop Uenjumln Dodd and his
family from appearing in court. Dodd Is
the plaintiff In the celebrated Dodd children
habeas corpus COHO and for months ho has
been In court so much that ho has not had
t'mc ' to work , much less to look for n Job.
Much of his time hau recently been spent
In Judge Seott'n court nnd when one of the
Dodd children was on the wltnesa stand a
few days ago and was asked as to her
father's employment KIO ! replied , In childish
Innocence ; "Papa Isn't working at all
hasn't got time to work , for he conies here
every day. "
And the end Is not yet. Yeelerday
Benjamin Dodd nnd his wife were In thu
county court before Judge Vlnsonhalcr to de
fend thouuiclvcH In un "teclmcut suit
brought -by William H. Sherwood. The
plaintiff alleges that the Dodd family Is oc
cupying the premises at : JOOl V street , South
Omaha , of which ho Is the owner , and that
they have not paid rent , although they
have had the place a year.
Dodd admits thut ho Is domiciled at the
place mcntloucd , but tu't.s forth the some
what novel plea that since ho has lived
there a year without paying rent he Is ex
empt. " Ills attorneys expect to allow that
there Js tUiitutory foundation for this theory.
Hvldonco In the ejectment suit was com
pleted yesterday , but owing to pressure
of other bUHlnci'a Judge VliiHonhaler ( mid ho
would not hear the arguments until some
future date.
There Is more about the Dodds In Juilgo
Kstelle's court thin afternoon , the case of
Louis I ) . Holmes coming up for supplemen
tal proceedings. The attachment order Is-
Htiod during the expiring hours of the late
Judge Scott was set nsldo Thursday by Judge
KtUello and yesterday Mr. Holmes was be
fore the court In an attempt to show that he
was not guilty of contemptuous action In his
fnlluro to bring the two absent Dodd children
before Judge Scott during the hearing of the
habeas corpus proceeding. Mr. Holmes wan
nt one time president of the Nebraska Chil
dren's Homo society , but resigned , and has
of lute had nothing to do with the affairs of
the organization , whoso wards the Dodd
children were.
This has been ono of the moot tediously
drawn-out cases over docketed In an Omaha
court nnd still the last chapter In the story
has not been written.
The Holmes hearing occupied the entire
afternoon before Judge Hstelle. and ad-
- , 4
journmont wus taken until 10 oclock ! this | '
morning. The afternoon session brought out
nothing moro than has already been told , j

'A ' horny-handed man leaned over the
counter in the office of the district clerk
yesterday afternoon and said :
"I want to see the jail clerk ; the man
who sends people behind the bars. "
"What's the matter with you ? " Chief
Deputy Stccre inquired.
"Why , 1 nm John N. Hitter , nnd now-
thai Judge Scott is off of the bench I am
willing to Borve the jail sentence ho im
posed upon mo last summer for contempt
of court , " was the reply.
Hitter wan sent to .tho sheriff's office and
from there ho was transferred to jail. Ho
probably Intends to appeal the case. Rlttcr
was lined $200 by Judge Scott last summer
becausehe was alleged to have violated the
order cf the court in tearing down a part
nership fence on a farm near Florence , over
which there was litigation.
The matter was allowed o drag along
without decisive action , until n few days
huforo his term expired , when Judge Scott
remembered that Hitter bad not yet paid
his fine nor had he sorvcd his Jail nen-
tence. So ho cited him to appear before
him January I. On that day Judge Scott
had retired. The case was transferred to
Judge Baker's court. He held that there
waa nothing before the court , eo that left
Hitter with the Scott Judgment still hanging
over him.

George W. Archibald , a former driver for
the Pacific Uxpreiw company , who was recently -
contly acquitted In Judge Baker's court on
the chnrso of stealing a $3,000 package en
trusted to his care , has filed suit In the dis
trict court against the express company , ask
ing $10,000 on account of the humiliation and
business Injury suffered by him as a result
1 of hl arrest on the charge of stealing the-
money.
The nato out of which the money was sup
posed to hpvo been stolen and which was do-
Itverod to Archibald for transfer to a rail
road depot , the money being consigned to n
bank nt St. Paul , remains In Judge Baker's
court room , where it was submitted ns evi
dence In the caso.
U Iw stated that Archibald was In finan
cial distress when arrested and that he could
not ralso money with which to retain coun
sel until ho hud enlisted the aid of his father ,
who lives iu Iowa. Ho now appears on the
streets without an overcoat and it Is said
that ho Is too poor to buy ono. The Ihrory
advanced by the prosecution was that Archi
bald took the money from the tufa while he
was cnrouto wlth t to the depot. Archibald
, made a bold denial and won his case.

OMAHA GIRL NOW A STAR

Grace Cameron , the Omaha girl who has
In the short period of less than half a year
risen from practically an unknown concert
singer to ono of the most elevated positions
of tbo comicopera stage , arrived In the city
in company with "Tho Bostonlans" yester
day morning. When seen shortly after ar
rival Mrs. Cameron talked freely In regard
to heV present position as one of the leading
prlma-donnas of this well known operatic
organization.
"Yes , naturally , I am delighted to be at
homo again , even If It Is for only a brief
period , " she said , "and especially pleased
nm I that It Is under such circumstances.
Of course when 1 left Omaha last summer
to Join "Tho nostonlans" I was confident
that I had the ability to sing leading operatic
roles , but I hardly anticipated such rapid
advancement as I have been fortunate
enough to enjoy. How did It happen ? Well ,
1 think my determination had u great deal
to do with my advancement. I felt thut I
had a good voice and only needed oppor
tunity to develop operatic talent. When 1
Joined 'Thu Dostmiluns' it wits with thu un
derstanding that I was to understudy so
prano roles. 1 had never had any experience ,
save that gained In a year's concert tour ,
which was of course rather limited. I had
never spoken a Hue upon the stage. My
first opportunity came shortly after the com
pany opened Its season. I ( SIIDK the part of
Anabe.ll In 'Uoblu Hood' and received Home
flattering compliments upon my work In this
part. Then I was given a chance as Yvonne
in 'Tho Serenade , ' and since I first sang the
part 1 have alternated In It regularly with
Miss Bertram. In cities where Miss Nell-
ten had previously been BCCII ns Yvonne my
work was favorably compared with hers by
the press. This was very gratifying lo mo ,
as It was as Yvonne that Miss Nielsen scorj- !
her first srcnt success.
"Yt-s , I like the work very much , nnd
shall continue ) In It. Some day I hope , nt ,
o ! course every beginner does , to become a
star of the first magnitude. I hope that I
shall bo able to please my friends here nt
homo with my work as well as I have ov'ery- '
where else 1 have sung. "

Deputy Marshal Henry Homan went to
Papllllon yesterday to serve upon Sheriff
Edward McAvcy of Sarpy county n writ IB-
sued by Judge Mungcr of the federal court , >
commanding him to hi Ing Into Judge Mun-
gor'w court this mjrnlng the bodies of
Corporal Jchn S. Fair nnd Private Henry H.
Jockcns , who arc now awaiting trial in Sarpy
county for the killing of Samuel Morgan , u
private soldier , who was attempting to es
cape from Fort Crook , whore ho was under
nrreflt for desertion. The writ -iswued Imme
diately upon the filing of the application ,
which was prepared by District Attorney
Summers and was verified by the prisoners
themselves.
The application shows that on November
17 last the prisoners were enllstud noldlern
In Company M , Tenth infantry , regti'nr '
army ; that while they were acting as soldiers
and agents of the government undur the lawn
of the United States , the articles of war , the
orders of superior officers and the regula
tions of the War department , duly approve' !
by the secretary of war , having the force
and effect of laws of the United Statcf , ona
Snroliel Morgan , n private of Trcop A , Klghth
cavalry , was under arrest , charged with the
crlmo of desertion September 7. 1S9S ; that
Morgan made 11 felcnlous assault upon thn
guard placed over him , rendered that officer
helpless and escaped from the rcnervatlon
at Fort Crook , whereupon the petitioners
were detailed to pursue and capture him. I
Ordi-rcil ( o Shoot lo lilt ,
The application Eets up the order under
which they were acting na fellows :
"Pursue the prisoner who Is attempting
to rscnpe ; when you get close enough t'j
him , order him to halt ; If ho refuses to halt
order him a seccnd time to halt ; If he still
refuses to halt , you are ordered to shoot and
shoot to hit. "
The pelltl.-n relates the pursuit of Mor
gan to LaPlntto , where about 7 o'clock In
the evening they encountered him walking
along n street. They ordered him no less
than five llmej to hall , but ho kept on his
way , and finally started to run nt full speed
toward eomo weeds and underbrush , which
would havn rortnlnly enabled him to escape ,
whi'n petitioners fired upon him with the
Intent to halt him , but not to kill him. They >
\\oinnloil him nnd from the effects of the
wound ho died.
Novioibt-r 18 the petitioners were placed
In confinement at Fort Crook on n charge
of manslaughter to thu prejudice of goo : ! j
order and military discipline , nnd on the i
20th they were tried before n general court-
martial regularly convened , were found not
guilty , and upon thulr discharge returncHl to
their duties at Fort Crook.
Oi December 20 complaint was filed
ngalnet them before IMgar Howard , county
judge of Sarpy county , at Papllllcn , charg-1
Ing them with murder under the statutes '
of Nebraska. December 23 they were arrested -
rested at Fort Crook nnd taken to Papllllon ,
where on January 2 they were Irjund over
In the sum if $1,000 each for trial In dis

the order of the court and the commitments I
were Iriegular , Illegal and void ; that the
Imprisonment nnd detentlcn of applicants Is
In violation of the laws of the United
States ; that the petitioners were justified In
doing all they did to prevent the escape of
Morgan ; that they acted In all things within
the limits of Imperative orders from superior
officers , under the laws of tbo United
States and wholly within the discharge cf
their duty us soldiers , nnd that thev cannot
therefore be guilty of murder under the laws
of the state nor held to answer In the dls- (
trict court for an act done as soldiers and j
officers under orders In the discharge of
duties and by virtue of the laws cf the
United Slates.
H appears that Morgan was at the time of
his escape twice a deserter. He had first
belonged to Troop A , Eighth cavalry , sta
tioned at Fort Meade , and when his regiment
wao ordered to Cuba ho deserted. Later ho
enlisted In the Thirty-ninth infantry , as he
wanted to go to the Philippines , and It was
while in the latter servlco that steps were
being taken to lead to his Identification. Ho
was' arrested without choree being lodged
against him , showing the true character of
his offense. As ha had deserted In time of
war ho was subject to tin- death penalty.
While he was under arrest he became aware
t
of the fact that the authorities were conducting - I
ducting RII Inquiry that was likely to lend |
to his Identification and he resolved to es
cape. One day while he nnd another pris
oner were engaged in hauling manure they
iipsniiltcd the guard viciously , left him In a
state of scml-uncniiBclousncrs nnd fled. The
guard soon recovered himself sufficiently to
carry the intelligence to the sergeant of the '
guard and pursuit was mado. It was under '
his alleged orders that Fair nnd Jock-ens ,
acted when they ran ncros-s Morgan nt I
Plutto.
The case promises to develop n lively
clash between the state and federal authori
ties. District Attorney Summers appears In
behalf of the prisoners nt the orders of the
War department. Governor Pnyntcr. who
Is responsible for the prosecution under the
fctnto law , contends that outside of the reser
vation at l'"ort ( Irook the military authorities
have no right to Indict such severity of dis
cipline.

nate , was In Omaha Friday , returning to
Us home In the evening to participate In
the Inauguration of the new Ames beet
sugar factory today. The opening of this
new factory haa been delayed several inonllu
bccaubt or the difficulty experienced In get
ting material , as the mills and factories
from which sugar factory machinery Is ob
tained have been overtaxed , rrhe capacity
of the Ames factory Is COO tons per day
and the company has about 20,000 tons of
beets from 'last summer's crop In silo , the
ccnsumptlon of which will require about
three months' operations , as the factory will
not start out nt Its full rapacity.
The Ames people are said to huvo Invested
aticut100COO In their factory , having so
coiifitiuctcd Jt that with a slight further
t'Utlay Its capacity can be Increased to J.OOO
tons per day.
It Is Mr. Allen who Is In negotiation with
the t'ommeivial club to eccuro the raUIng
of a large quantity of beets In Douglas

Through the agency of The Bee's corre
spondent at Kearney , Neb. , the local police
believe they will be able to apprehend
Stephen Van Huynen , wanted here to answer
for the death of hlzzle McAuliffe. The girl
was killed on Park avenue August 28 last
under peculiar circumstances and Van Huy
nen , who had accompanied her for a drive ,
was considered responsible for the occur
rence. The young woman had either fallen
or been thrown from the buggy and her com
panion , lashing his horse , had made his es
cape.
cape.A
A few weeks ago n similar circumstance
was reported from Kearney. A man known
as Strong secured the company of a respecta
ble young woman of the town for n drive and
proceeded several miles into the country.
At an Isolated point In the road Strong Is
f > atd to have made Improper proposals to the
girl and upon being repulsed followed them
with threatening violence. His companion
made u desperate effort to escape and suc
ceeded In leaping from the vehicle. Strong
made no further effort to niolo&t her nnd she
returned homo on foot.
When she reported her treatment at the
hands of Strong the town was aroused nnd
the marshal succeeded In arresting the crim
inal. He was placed In Jail on the charge
of attempted criminal assault and Is now
nwalMng trial ,
Mi'UioiU Ar < - Identical.
The method employed by Strong In all Its
main features was Identical with that of
Van Huynen , who toik the fata ) drive with
Lizzie McAuliffe last August. The Incidents
of the Orlvo , the proponnl nnd the ensuing
violence vero the same In both stories. This
coInclcVcneo was observed by John T. Mnl-
Inllcu , correspondent of The lice at Kear
ney , who at onro began an Investlgatl-n.
From his experience as a custodian In thn
reform school nt Kearney Mr. Mallalleu
was familiar with methods of Identification
and at once obtained a description of Van
lluymii through thn agency of The Dee'B
news edltot.
The description tallied almost exactly
with that rf the man under arrest at Kear
ney. In only two particulars wan there roitn
for possible doubt. Htiong was described as
a younger mini than Van Huynen was sup
posed to have been , nnd n frcnt tooth was
paid to have been imlfislng In the rase of
Van Huynen , which wan apparent In the
mouth of the Kcurn * " man. The police ,
Inwevor , rconcliO the first discrepancy by
the fact that Van liuyncn wan cnu of those
rare Individuals who have naturally no
heard , and appear therefore younger than
they really are. In the mater of the tooth
the Kearney correspondent explains that In
Strcug's mouth two front teeth have HO
grown together ns to obscure the one be
tween , and thus give tbo Impression to the
casual observer that one tooth was mim-lng.
I'lioliiuriijih IN lilftilllliMl.
The most oUoiute evidence , however , that
the two men uro Identical IB in the recog
nition of Strong's photograph by Omaha par
ties who were acquainted with Van Huynen.
A request was sent to the county attorney at
Kearney by the Omaha police for a photo
graph of the man under detention there
when suspicion wus first aroused. For Home
itasou , however , tbo attorney showed no
disposition to aid the Omaha authorities In
this particular and the likeness was finally
obtained through the efforts of Mr. Mnlla-
llou. It was shown to various persons who
had known Van Huynen , most of whom had
worked with him In the llvory stable Avhoro
ho was employed. The photograph was pos
itively Identified by four men who said there
could bo no possibility that tboy were mis
taken. A fifth acquaintance of Van Huyneu ,
while not positive , stated his opinion that
the llkeneKB was that of the Omaha hostler.
On this evidence the chief of police will
Bend an agent to Kearney who know Van
Huynen well and bo Is confident that the
identification will he complete , It will
probably bo Impossible for the local authori
ties to secure the man at once in case their
surmises prove correct , as the people of
Kearney are considerably excited over the
outrage perpetrated there and wish to give
the miscreant the full punishment allowed
by law. When the Kearney officials are
through , however , Van Huynen , In case It
nhould be he , will Htm find a reckoning
awaiting him In this city.
IS KEEPING MUM ABOUT IT
Commercial CluhVntir WorUx * 'om-

franchise provision or by condemnation un
der the right of eminent domain.
The committee has also devoted consid
erable attention to an attempt to obtain an
Idea of the nctual value of the plant. City
ICnglnccr Hosnwnter bar slated to u repre
sentative of the committee that the plant
IB worth approximately $1,000,000 , or about
$1,000,000 more than It was worth Just before -
fore the recent heavy advance In the cost
of Iron. He IH reported to have given the
committee his opinion to the effe-I that
water plpo has not deteriorated materially ,
except perhaps In thu down-town districts ,
where It may have Buffered from electrolysis ,
