Helped Ford.
James P. Maher, the alleged accomplice
of Mickey ford In the holdup of the saloon
of Leo Roenier at Twenty-fourth and J
streets. South Omaha, was positively Identi
fied by a number of men In the saloon at
the time In the trial before Judge Troup
Wednesday. Itoemer waa the first wit
ness, aid he testified that Maher and Ford
entered the saloon with drawn guns, with
which thry covered the crowd. Ford, who
had a handkerchief over his face, first told
Itoemer to hand over his money, but he
refused. One of tho men in the saloon
threw 15 cents down on the bar In front
of Ford, but Roeiner picked it up and put
it In his pocket.
The bluff worked and Ford began to back
out of the saloon. Then, the witness s!d,
Maher came over to him and told him to
turn around.
"I won't do It," Roenier answered. Then
Maher began to back out also. Outside the
saloon the men ahot four or five tlm-a.
There were five or six men in tho saloon
at the time and they were called to the
stand to Identify Maher. The holdups got
no money from the crowd. Ford was con
victed for his share in tho crime some time
ago and lanow awaiting sentence.
The defense Introduced witnesses yester
day afternoon In an effort to prove that
Maher Is a mental wreck and was drunk
on the day of the holdup and Incapable of
forming an Intent to rob. Dr. Ensor of
Bouth Omaha said he had observed Maher
while making professional visits to the
home of Mr. Scott, where Maher was stay
ing, and while he did not think he waa In
sane) he believed he was a mental wreck
from drink and irresponsible for his acts.
Several other witnesses testified he talked
irrationally at times and did not know
what he was doing. Evidence was also In
troduced to show he was drunk on the day
of the holdup, but In rebuttal the stale
recalled several witnesses to show he was
not badly Intoxicated we..- he was In the

MORRISSF.Y JIRV CAXXOT AGREE
Alleged Accomplice of Mickey Ford
Escapes l or lotion.
The Jury in the case of James Morrlsey,
alias Morrison was discharged shortly be
fore noon Wednesday, without reaching a
verdict. It Is understood tho balloting stood
seven to five for conviction from the time
the Jury went into the Jury room at noon
Tuesday, until it came out Wednesday.
Only once was there a deviation from this
vote, but the change was on account cf
an error on the part of one of the Jurors
and was immediately corrected.
In view of the fact no verdict appeared
possible. Judge Troup discharged the Jury.
The case against Morrlssey waa not con
sidered a very strong one. Only one wit
ness identified him and he was not positive
in his Identification. Other testimony
showed he had been seen in company with
Mickey Ford the night of tho holdup about
six blocks from tho saloon of John Rybln,
which was held up. The defense Intro
duced evidence to show the defendant was
too drunk the night of the crime to have
participated In the holdup. The defendant
was informed against under the name of
Morrlssey, but his true name Is Morrison.
John Martin, who was charged with
burglary at a room In the Roma hotel and
stealing a suit of clothes worth $25, pleaded
guilty to petty larceny before Judge Sutton
and on the recommendation of the county
attorney was sentenced to thirty days in
the county Jail. Martin occupied one room
In the hotel and according to his story went
Into an adjoining room and took the clothes.
He found the door standing open and the
defense contended It did not constitute a
burglary.
Ole Jackson, charged with criminal as
sault, was released on a $1,000 bond signed
by Chase Green, a colored man.
Frank Noonan. charged with the murder
of a man named Carlson In South Omaha,

Assails Dipsomaniac law,
William A. Simmon of Dawes .county
who was sentenced to the asylum under the
provisions of the' dipsomaniac law, filed ft
brief In the supreme court this afternoon
In which he not only -vigorously attacks
the constitutionality of the law, but also
goes after those who operated It against
him. Simmons says he Is 50 years old and
Is worth about IJO.OOO, which he accumu
lated trading and dealing in horses. He
denies ever being an inebriate, but says
he has always kept liquor In his house and
has taken a pull at the bottlo whenever
the spirit moves him to do so. tie claims
the sheriff of Dawes county is a dealer in
horses also and Is a teetotaler, and that
no member of the Insanity board takes
drink, but on the contrary are prohibition
ists. The sheriff, he claims, managed thi
affair to get him in the asylum to get him
out of the horse trading business.
Western I'nlon Assessment.
It has been placed squarely before the

The case comes up from Douglas county.
where the district court held the value
placed upon the franchise by the Countv
Board of Equalization was wrong. County
Attorney Slabaugh seeks to have that de
cision "reversed. The county assessor valued
the franchise at some $27,000. The company
ascerted the valuation was arrived at by
making the franchise equal to the value
of the gross receipts of the company. The
company also asserts It was granted a
franchise by the United States and there
fore it was not subject to taxation by the
authorities of Douglas county. This ques
lion the county attorney holds is lmma

franchise gives the company the right to

The republicans of Lancaster county are
In a peculiar position Insofar as the selec
tion of a csndldatc for congress Is con
cerned. For some time politicians In the
outside counties, ss well ss some of the
home talent, have been flirting with Judge
Allen W. Meld to make the race against
Congressman Pollard. Recently Judge
Field and Judge Holmes discussed the mat
ter and now It Is said If I-ancaster county
Is to have a candidate J'idge Holmes ex
pects to be the man, as he was turned
down by the congressional convention a
year ago. If Judge Holmes comes out as
a candidate It Is said Judge Lincoln Frost
will also get Into the running.
This will give all the other counties an
excuse to get out their favorite sons, with
tho result that Lancaster county may not
only lose the nominee, but may also cause
a break with Cass county, which will give
the nominee to the outside counties for
years to come.
Many of the politicians In this county are
anxious for the delegation this year to be
given to Pollard, and thus cement the.
lleup with Cass county. Then two years
from now, If Lancaster county wants tho
congressman. It could, with some hope of
success, call upon Cass county for assist
ance. Should Lancaster break with Cass
and help turn down Pollard then Ijancaster
may have a hard time getting the lion's
share of the spoils of the district as It has
heretofore had.

cause It Is a Remedy For
All Phases of Catarrh.
TWENTY-FIVE years ago, before Dr.
Itartman began distributing his
pamphlets, books and newspaper
articles, Bright'e Disease of the kidneys
was regarded as a disease wholly distinct
from catarrh.
Now, Rrlght's Disease is thought by
many the world over to be a phase of
catarrhal inflammation.
To relieve Brlght's Disease something
must be used that has the power to relieve
catarrh.
Any medicine that Is a remedy for
catarrh of one organ Is obviously a med
icine for catarrh of any other organ.
Peruna is an internal, systemic
catarrh remedy.

MR. M.
BR0DCRICK.
Like catarrh. It pervades tha whole
system, and counteracts the effects of the
disease. 11 '
A great many people believe that thav
have been cured of chronic Brigh.t'8 Disease
by the use of Peruna.
It is certainly true that in the earlier
stages of Brlght's Disease, Peruna Is
an effective remedy.
Numerous testimonials on this point
establish the fact beyond all. doubt.
Mr. Otto A. Flelssner, American epi
curean, formerly Chef to Col. W. J. Cody,
1412 Sixth Ave., Seattle, Wash., writes:
"I suffered with kidney and bladder
troule until life did not seem worth living.
I had tried many medicines, but did not
get any relief until I took Peruna. It was
really wonderful how much better I was
after I used this medicine only a week. At
the end of six months I found to my relief
that It had rid my system of all poisons
and I was cured to stay cured."

matter. The department comprises Ml

the loss in poll tax to the city Is on tho
Increase nnd by reducing the department
to about 100 members the questtpn of a poll
tax shortage would be solved.
