of Embezzlement.
SAID TO BE WOMAN tw THE CASE

V.. T. Reed! and'CnptsIn P. H
Shields !
r rived yesterday afternoon from Sioux
City, having m custody J. T. Hamhlln.
who Is under arrest charged with embex
xlement from the Cudahy Parking com
rny. Reed la , a special officer of the
company and went to Bloux City on track
of Hamblln Wednesday. Ha discovered
hla man within a few hour after arriving
there and at once put him tinder arrest.
Hamhlln waa ao much frightened that he
could not 'apeak tot a time, and when ahle
la aald td have made a full confession of
hla defalcation. He la a driver for the
company, - delivering heef to local mar
kets and making collections. In this way
he had possession of over 1100. which was
too great a temptation for him to resist.
There la. aald to be a woman In the case.
Bhe Is a married woman living In Omaha,
but the plan as near as could be learned
from llamljlln's excited talk was that
he should go to 8loux City and send for
the woman. She had agreed to desert her
home for htm. The money waa to be
used to help them to get away to Tankton,
where they expected to live secluded.
Hamblln went to Sioux City, but his appe
tite for drink waa Ms undoing. He spent
11 of the money intended for flight and ha.1
to borrow money, which he sent to the
woman to pay her wsy to Sioux City. She
was due to arrive In Sioux City last night
and slle has. In fact, left Omaha. The
police were watching to receive her at
Bloux City. Hamblln la now lying In the
city Jail and the charge of embezzlement
will be lodged against him. In the light
of his confession It Is likely that he will
waive the preliminary hearing.
Fees Turned Over to City.
Clerk of the district court, Frank A.
Broadwell, yesterday turned In to the city
treasury 82,280, as collections for ne.irly a
year. Against the feea and collections In
his hands, piUO as court costs were drawn.
The matter 'bf '-coming tp nn agreement
on the fees 'Vvus too reason for tho long
delay In the settlement of the account.
Several consultations were held over the
Itema before both parties were satisfied. j
Sympathy Probably Misguided, j
It has como to light since Mrs. KTTle Mor--1
gan slipped out of the stnte and eluded 1
an Investigation at tho hands of the Juven
ile authorities as to the condition of her
little daughter, that the father of tho child
waa by no means to he made the object
of criticism on. that particular point in
the case. .The child was suffering from-a
disease which Tftcctcd shame on th
mother arid her, surroundings, if It d'.J
not point to malignant criminality. Dr.
Do Lanney, the city physician, made an
examination of be little girl at the request'
of the father uriU he recommended to Mr.
Cue to bring the case before the Juvenile
court. Mrs. Morgan wns taken to the
city Jail and out of a conflict of authority
!and, some misunderstanding, the officers
I and the court disagreed as to the disposi
tion of . the woman. Judge Kennedy was
not at -all pleased with the outcome of the
affair; but the 'woman Is now out. of the;
ata(e, presumably back' In Dps Trtulnes. -.

J. Kelson fcescaped with a beautifully
puffed-and discolored eye from what came
near being a fatal uccldent yetrterdny noon.
He la a toamstef working for Joseph Hurt,
and waa hauling malt yesterday to the
sheep ranch of, his employer. He stopped
long ' enough tb get 'considerable of the
ellxtir Of malt also; to all appearances. Then
he mounted hlsr wagon and attempted to
drive to the ranch. When he arrived at
Twenty-fifth and H streets the team turned
a little abruptly; and he pitched out on hit
nose and tilled -over on his eyebrow. The
wagon Wheels ' 'tflfn over his legs, but the
street had been, 'newly graded and was very
aoft. so ha sank In the soil and was not
hurt seriously. His stupor from liquor was
mistaken by the Inhabitants for the symp
toms of serious. Injury. A doctor and several
policemen hurried to the spot. Tho doctor
pronounced th accident "a Jolt in a .lag,"
and the police, after, tho mud and same
blood had been, washed off the man's face,

R. J. Nlbbe, the station agent, last Satur
day. He was hoisting a can of cream Into
the express car when the lid of It flew
off and In an Instant Mr. Nlbbe was
covered from head to foot with a layer of
rich country cream. While It was a sad
moment to Brother Nlbbe, the spectators
rather seemed to enjoy It, and the Smile
that went up from the latter, - including
the crew and passengers of NO. 17, besides
from several other Innocent bystanders,

After Almost a Half Century Forty-five
years ago, August 9, Justin A. Wilcox
was promised by the government 8S)0
bounty at enlistment. One hundred dol
lars wns to be paid at the close of the
war. The first payment was made, but
the second was for many years forgotten
by Mr. Wilcox, and by Uncle Sam as well.
A few years ago Mr. Wilcox made claim
for the remaining 1100. but waa Informed
that he had lost out by limitation. He
more recently renewed hla claim, and on
last Friday received word from the gov
ernment that his claim had been allowed
at 850, the full amount not being paid
on a technicality. McCook Tribune.
Warning We never like to say anything
to injure a man'a business, but this Juve
nile courting on the streets of our village
breed pneumonia. The world love a lover,
but It has no love for the kind who do
the Romeo and Juliet business on the
streets of the town, when they should be
at home reading or In bed dreaming. These
young people who thus court on the back
streets need to be made acquainted with
a shingle. There are youngsters In this
town who are talking of conjugal bliss
asd who cannot even conjugate the verb
love. The boys are not more to blame
than the girls; It Is a natural thing with
them. What is needed Is for every mother
to have a curfew bell of her own, ring It
and see that the boys and girls hear it
ring. Oakdale Sentinel.

,C. H. Norris has been a prominent figure
In the commercial life of Table Rock, and
there la scarcely a man, woman or child
within a wide radius of Table Rock who
does not know him as an energetic work-
The recent rains induced the weeds to
grow luxuriantly around his yard and he
determined to" get up early one morning
and mow them and he did. He worked
an hour or two, the weeds were nicely cut
and he longed for the breakfast call, but
It didn't come and he finally went to the
house to see what waa the matter. He
casually glanced at the- clock - and found
that It registered five minutes till 8 and
he . went. back to bed. Tahle .Rock Argus.

The commissary was stocked with potatoes,
bread and butter, coffee, salt and pepper,
a box of matches, a box of clgara and
spool of small wire. The fishing was fine
and In an hour or two twelve catfish,
weighing from I4 to 2Vs pounds wer

I of coals the fish were prepared. Willows

butt; as one's wrist- These were peeled
and sharpened at both ends and a fish
Impaled on each one as follows: The
small end of the stick was run through
the mouth and thence through the meat
along the backbone and out at the tail.
It was then pushed through until the fish
j was in the center of the stick Pieces of
the wire were then firmly wound around
the head and tall, attaching them securely
to the stick, so the fish would not slip up
or down. It was then thrust into the
ground before the live coals and allowed
to bake slowly. Too much heat at first
will often cause the skin to crack open.
The stick Is turned often so that the parch
ing la evenely done. Salt Is thrown In
the mouth of the fish and this will In duo
time permeate the whole fish
All the ex-
i cess moisture Is driven from the body
and In about forty minutes you have a
dainty a dish as was ever served up In a
Delmonlco. In the meantime the potatoes
have been slowly baking In the bed of
coals and when the fish has taken on a
beautiful Vandyke brown the potatoes will
be found to be nice and mealy. The fish
Is then served by handing a stick to each
guest, who will need, no further Instruc
tions. Arapahoe Pioneer.

CATTLE Receipts of cattlo were very
light this morning, there not being really
enough In the yards to make any showing
whatever or to really establish a market.
The few loads of beef steers in sight
sold In about yesterday's notches, there
being no quotable change in the market
and nothing very good on sale. It la safe
to quote the general run of cornfed steers
2&&40c lower thsn a week ago. The beat
range steers are not quite that much lower,
but the common to medium grades are.
Only ten or twelve loads of cows and
heifers were on sale this morning and
tney changed hands at about steady prices,
that means 4O'p50c lower than last week.
It will be rememeberd that the market on
cow stufT was very high on last week's
close.
There were very few fresh stockers and
feeders on sale and as speculators all had
a good many on hand It was very evident
that the demand was poor. The market on
good feeders is pretty close to 2G4j4oc lower
than last week.

HOGS Were reneraliy 00 nigner mis
morning and fairly active at the advance,
Some of the best shipping hogs possibly
showed more advanoe even than that, be
in nuoted In soms cases 6010c higher. The
most of the offerings changed hands tn very
fair saason In the morning, rne develop
ment during the last day or two of a ship
ping demand has given the market a more
healthr tone. It will be noted that the ad
vance today was largely on tha heavy and
medium weight nogs, wnicn nave sunerea
the most decline during the week, whereas
the best light hogs have ahown very little
change at any time. Today's advance
makes up for a good share of the week's
decline, leaving the general market only
about &t10o lower than It was at tho close
of last week.

SENSATION IN GLASS CASE
Former Supervisor Boston Telia of la-
eldeata Connected with Taking;
nink Bribe.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16. A sensational
Incident marked today's close of tha Qlass
bribery trial. Former Supervisor Dr.
Charles Boxton was aaked by Attorney Del
maa, as tha final question In an exhaustive
cross-examination for the defense; "Did you
accept the 8500 offered you aa a bribe by
O. M. Roy In tha matter of your vote In
the skating rink ordinance T"
"Very well," aald Delmaa, pleasantly, "I
shall not insist upon the question. You
need not answer it, doctor. If you do not
wish to, unless the prosecution Insists,"
thus adroitly passing the issue to the other
side. "That Is all."
Without hesitation District Attorney
Heney took up Delmas' question and put It
to tha witness: "Did you accept that
money V
"The question ia legal and pertinent and
tha witness must answer," ruled Judge
Lawler. '
Boxton turned on hi chair and glared
savagely at Heney. "Yea," he aald between
set teeth. "I accepted It, and I'll teU this.
too, Burns told me Rudolph Sprockles gave
that money to Roy and caused tha bills to
be marked; and I'll tell you something else,
lnca you want It all."
'Yes," Interrupted Heney. ."we want It
all, go ahead."
1 will Burns told me to deny that I
took that money, and be tried to get me
to sign an affidavit to that effect I told
you that Mr. Heney anl you aald: Well, t
didn't tell you to do that.' I did deny to
tha newspapers reporters that I had ac
cepted money from Roy. Burns wanted to
keep it from the papers. I presume hs
wanted to protect Roy. I understand that
I waa to be protected, but evidently I am
not to be."
Earlier cross-examination elicited from
Boxton the declaration tbat when he signed
last fall the affidavit that ha had been
guilty of no crime, be was entirely ignor
ant of what ha was signing. That he af
fixed hla altrnatnre at tha request of Senator
Keens, who at that time was clerk of the
Board of Supervisors.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-The course of t--dsy's
stock msrket was marked hy estrem
Irregularity, with operations on a slightly
reduced scale and limited In the muln tc
the active Issues. The loaest prices of tht
day were touched In the final hour, when
persistent rumors cf a threatned failure
in bunking circles were current. Aside
from the encouragement which Wall street
saw fit to derive frmi the forthcoming
public speeches of President Roosevelt snd
Secretary Taft, the day's development!
were for the most part adverse. .
Early In the session reports coupled tht
name of a large Western -manufacturing
concern with Impending Insolvency. Ths
securities of this uo poratlon fell abruptly,
as they had done on the previous day,
losses ranging from 4 to 5 tmlrita or mors
In the common and preferred sharea. An
other very disturbing element was the max
imum decline of 44 points in the shares of
the old Metropolitan railway, whose 7-point
dividend lis "guaranteed" by the so-called
holding companies which -control the local
trsctlon roads. Sentiment was further af
fected by dispatches from various out-of-town
points, most of which told of busi
ness dcpressl'in and Increased hardening
of money ratea. From Pittsburg and
Cleveland came confirmatory advices of a
relaxation in the steel and iron trade and
In ufilllated Industrlca.
The feeling of uneasiness was accentuated
by statements attributed to local bankers,
who were quoted as expressing the opinion
that a numlier of small manufacturing con
cerns would ultimately be forced Into bank
ruptcy because -of the IncreVaslnjr scarcity
of working capital. Yet another unfavor
able factor was the scml-Monthly report
of a recognized cntton esrterl. which tinted
I that the crop over the greater part of th
I cotton belt would hardly make more than
a normal showing. Prices continued to
sag In the late trailing and all of the early
gnlns were replaced by losses of a point
or more In the active, list, with more se
vere declines In the specialties. The clos
ing was dull and weak, with further liqui
dation In evidence. Time money waa
firmer, a flat 7 per cent rate being fixed
for all six-months loans. Most ninety-day
maturities were negotiated within a frao
tlon of that figure. Foreign exchange
ruled harder.
Bonds were Irregular. Total aalea, par
taiue. were 81.604.ooo. In1ted States 2a.
registered, and the 4s, registered, declined
V per rent on call.
