Caurht at Last

By the Lincoln, Nebraska, Daily JOurn-
al of the 5th, we see that one Rufus
Pope, alias r. Danford Chase, was tried
there on the 4th for bigamy, and convict
ed amid the applause of the audience. 1t
seems, by the report of the trial, that he
was married March 10, 1877, at Quincy,
Illinois, to Miss jessie L. Norris, and
that few months afteward the couple
came to EmpOria, and after leaving here
Mr.. Chase deserted his wife. The next
herd of him is that he went to Lincoln
as Rufus Pope, where he married Miss
Emma Kinney, October %, 1878. When
Miss Norris began to testify, the prison
er's counsel interpOsed as an objection
that beng his lawful wife she had no
illegal" right to testify aught against her
own husband, and this illegal" point was
sustained. The testimony, however, was
overwhelming. The two wives sat to-
gether in mutual sympathy during the
trial, and the entire audience applauded
the verdict of guilty. 1t seems, also, that
Pope's first and really legal wife is liv.
ing in Woodstock, McHenry county, Ill
inois, and is the mother of four children,
the last of whom was born after Pope
deserted here. Why is it that an unmit-
igated scamp is generally the person
who secures the confidence of men and
marries women with perfect ease, while
honest men find either the most difficult
task of their lives. Any one who can
answer this conundrum will be entitled
to Achromo.

Death Of John O. Hyde.

Many of our readers are already aware
of the death of John o. Hyde, which
took place at his farm near this city, on
Thursday last, June 9Th. Wehad hoped
to get further data for this notice than
is in our possession, and SO waited, but
the desired information has not come to
hand.
Mr.. Hyde, we think. was originally
from Connecticut. At an early day he
settled in Illinois, where he remained
for number of years. From there he
went to Memphis, Tennessee, where we
believe he followed the carpenter trade.
He came here from Memphis and settled
on the place where he died, in the early
spring of 1857. We believe it can be
truly written of Mr.. Hyde that he filled
the fulf measure of a specimen of the
noblest work of God, an honest man.
Everybody knew him but to admire his
manly and noble qualities. He was in
telligent and firm in his convictions of
right, and was ever willing to maintain
those convictions. His family consisted
u MS WIG, WIZ survives nIHl, anu TWO
sons. One of these, Charles, gave his
life in defense of his country at the
battle of Lexington in the fall of 1854
This sad event ever afterwards seemed to
cast a gloom over the life of the father.
Some years ago he had paralytic
stroke, and owing to that and his adj
vanced age, seldom, for many years,
ventured away from his home. Little
has been seen of him in the city, of
which he was true friend, especially in
her early struggles, for the last ten years.
He died, mourned by all who knew him,
in the 74th year of his age
