LINCOLN, Dec. 11. (Special.) Tho Ne
braska Fraternal Congress today began the
consideration of a urooosed law designed
SdlS a;:o:.Ls:n1hraydoBSenCoSf
this act wan recommended by the National
Kraternal Congress at Its fourteenth an
nual meeting, held in August, this year.
Nebraska Insurance men nro divided con
eernlng the act and It Is not likely that It
wi.. . uiu itgisiaturo with tho Indorse
ment of tho stato congress unless It Is
amended In many places. The afternoon
session of tho congress was devoted wholly
to a discussion of tho merits of tho bill.
One of the provisions of the proposed
law requires all members to pay their own
assessments, making It unlawful for tho
beneficiary to pay the assessment of the
member whose llfo Is Insured. Anothor
provision which docs not meet with tho ap
proval of many Nebraska Insuranco men
is one which fixes definitely tho rate of
nsHcsBmcnt.
''Tho law would benefit a certain class
of fraternal societies and Injuro another
clnss," aald an Insurance man. "Tho o
clutlcs that are. accumulating a reserve
fund should favor Its adoption, but tho so
cieties that moot their losses by assess
ment should opposo It. So far as I know,
no stato legislature has adopted nny hill
similar to tho ono proposed. Tho pro
vision most objcctlonabto Is tho ono which
provides that no contract with any asso
ciation ahall bo valid whero there Is n
contract, ngrromcnt or understanding be
tween tho member and tho beneflcliry
that tho beneficiary or any person for him
shall pay his assessments. If such a law
were passed a parent would bo prohibited
from Insuring tho llfo of a child or any
other member of his family. Under the
present law minors or othor persons may
Insure and have their assessments paid by
tholr parents. Ono feature of tho proposed
law, however, Is meritorious and should bo
adopted by tho legislature whether the
wholo law Is presented or not. That Is
tho section requiring all fraternal societies
to answer a certain list of questions con
cerning thilr buslncbs and tho manner of
conducting it."

CURTAIN'S CAREER OF CRIME

It devoloned Tuesdny that In tho person
of Jack Curtain, ns ho Is known here, tho
pollco havo enptui .1 a most Interesting
criminal. Curtain has been In Jail for over
two weeks, and during that time tho pollco
havo been engnged in gathering evidence
against him, and In collecting scraps of his
pcrsonnl history, until now a web of cir
cumstances bus been woven that will Jus
tify tho county attorney In filing a com
plaint agalnBt him for robbery. Ho Is
charged -with holding up and robbing
Charles Duko In the lattter's saloon on
Leavenworth strcot on the night of No
vember 23. Two other men John Hass
nnd Jnmcs Leo nro also In Jail, charged
with being accessories to tho crime.
Clilof Donahuo bcllovcs that Curtain was
tho ringleader of tho gang that figured In
so many holdups In suburban saloons dur
ing tho latter part of November.
Tuesday Sheriff Kelchor of North Platto
enmo to Omaha to look at Curtain, na, hav
ing rend his description In tho newspapors,
ho had reason to bollovo the latter was
tho notorious Hugh Jackson who, four years
ago, terrorized the citizens of North Platto
and neighboring towns. A glanco satisfied
him that his surmise was correct. Ho
recognized tho prisoner nt once, but Cur
tain, ns has been his custom with all his
"old friends," protended not to know the
sheriff.
Krlrhcr Cntrchlum Cnrtnln.
Don't you remember- the tlmo you tried
to stab mo with a fork In tho Lincoln
county Jail?" nBked tho officer.
Curtain affected a blank look and shook
his head.
"Nor tho tlmo Illack Jack and I hauled
you out from beneath a freight train at
Gibbon?"
Curtain smiled deprecatlngly, as ono who
would say, "You arc barking up tho wrong
tree."
"Well, you certainly remember tho tlmo
you mado Leo Hancy stand and deliver with
no weapon save your trusty forefinger?"
Curtain scratched his head, and failed to
recall tho clrcunlstanco.
At tho close of tho Interview Sheriff Kcl
chcr wns nsked to relato tho Incidents ho
had hinted at and willingly did so.
"This man's right namo Is Hugh Jack
son," ho began, "and ho was born and
reared up In our country. His old fnthcr
and mother aro living thcro now. Ho fig
ured in Bovcral rather shady transactions,
but tho most daring one, nnd tho only ono
that comes to my mind now, was his hold
up of Lea Hancy, ono of our young business
men, In tho fall ot 1896.
I'liiKcr Goch for l'ldtol.
"Ho wont up Into Honey's room ono night
and was engaged In ransacking It when
Hancy unexpectedly camo In. This man
Curtain, as you call him barely had tlmo
to dodgo Into a closet. Well, It happened
that Hanoy wanted only to change his
trousers, so ho undressed and stepped Into
tho closet to get tho other pair, when
Curtain suddonly leaped out, and pointing
his forefinger at him as It It woro a pistol,
shouted, 'Throw up your hands!'
"Then Curtain pushed Hanoy Into tho
closet, locked tho door and very deliberately
resumed his work of ransacking tho room.
As ho found $10 In tho pockots of tho trous
ers Hanoy had taken off, Curtain wns that
much tho richer for the Interruption.
"Well, Curtain mado his escape and an
hour later I went to work on the case.
Taking my deputy with me a nervy fel
low, who Is known throughout tho western
half of tho stato ns 'Dlack Jack' wo fol
lowed him to Gibbon, as wo know he had
ridden out of North Platto on tho brake
beam of a certain freight train. Arrang
ing with tho conductor to hold the train
tl.ere, wo drow our revolvers and, Jack on
ono side and I on' tho other, wo walked
down that train from tho englnq to tho
caboose. About half way down we spotted
our man. Ho wbb hugging tho bottom ot

were enough to bring him out, when wo
clapped tho handcuffs upon his wrists and
took hlra back with us to North Platte.
On the way wo searched him and found
concealed under his vest Leo Haney's gold
watch.
"His career after that was checkered,
but thero's no uso of, relating it In de
tail. A few days later, while I was carry
lug his dinner to him, ho attacked mo with
a tablefork and made a desperato break
for liberty, but fortunately I had locked
tho corridor door as I entered, so ho was
balked.

In December of that year ho was sen

Ho claimed his prisoner and, as tho Iowa
