Omaha, are released from the charge, the
Smiths not seeming to care about prose.

FERROUS about the case, and this mystery
promises now to be cleared up. 1t Ia
said that Smith, who was formerly night
Waterman at the Northwestern yards

little girl in question, but that her name
is Mrs. Ball, and the little girl Is Lizzie

Balls husband, who has begun divorce
proceedings, swore to an information

Officer Daugherty Saturday night ar.
rested a fellow on suspicion, and turned
him over to George Guanella at the Jail
As Guanella was about to lock him up
the fellow made a break and run out, and
Gusnella, being in his stocking feet,
found the chase too rough, and, after
crippling one toe, gave it up. Later the
fellow ~telephoned him from some where
down town, Don't you wish you had
met
The antics of an apparently insane
man caused' a comnotion on upper
Broadway Saturday forenoon. The fell
low was coming into town with a small
load of hay, and first attracted attention
by his peculiar prodding of his horses
with a pitch-fork, the horses being
frightened and at full speed. In turning
a street corner the wagon was tipped and
the man thrown to the ground. Still
clinging to the pitch.fork and paying no
| attention to the team he made a charge
on two women who were passing along
the sidewalk. They sought refuge in a
neighboring house, and the man disap-
peared before the officers could reach the
vicinity of the peculiar performance.
Monday our citizens were considerably
surprised by a visit from Dan Farrell,
and still more so when he placed Charles
Coborn under arrest for the crime of
arson. The charge being the burning of
Dyes store two years ago last spring.
The warrant was sworn out by d. K.
Baldwin, a United States detective who
has been working on the case since last
hummer. This proved another surprise,
as few imagined that Patton's blacksmith
was a detective. Not being able to give
bonds Farrell took his man to Glenwood
for safe keeping until the preliminary
trial, which takes place in Dyes hall
next Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock.

The present crumbling condition OF the
court house Is causing many to change
their minds about the necessity of build
Ing a new one. At the last court house
election the crumbling and cracking was
by many as mere talk to help
get a new one, but it Is now evident that
it is not talk. Many favorable comments
are made by those who before opposed
the enterprise, and many who voted
1t before pow say that if the peo-
pie can be assured that no more than
800, 900 will be expended, they will vote
for it. Many favor the drawing of plans
and getting estimates on bids before an
other election is called, so that all may
know Just what kind of a building it will
DO if the voters decide in favor of build
