The suit of the city against L. R.
Jerome, Jr., familiar to our people un-
der the style Of ''the dude, " for violat-
ing the ordinance of our village by dis
orderly conduct and disturbance of the
peace, by riding through our streets at
a reckless gait, yelling, and doing the
cowboy act generally, was dismissed by
the Squire on Monday morning, after
two days had been consumed in the
trial of the case, and two juries had
failed to agree. This case attracted
the attention and was the subject of
much remark and criticism, favorable
and unfavorable, severe and mild, as
such occurrences are wont to call forth.
j. E. Cochran was defendants attorney,
and j. B. Jennings appeared for the
city, and the case was hotly contested
from beginning to end. The case first
came up for trial Friday afternoon,
which, with the ensuing night, was oc-
cupieo in hearing the evidence and ad-
dresses Of counsel. The jury failed to
agree, and the next day and night were
given over to its consideration, and the
second jury failed to agree; and were
discharged. The failure to convict is
attributed by some to the insuf6iciency
of the ordinance, while score Of other
reasons are given. At all events the
thing has miscarried, and the city will
have to pay the costs.

The Gilman, ILL.,, Star has the follow
ing to say about the Wilcox Bros. of
that place who arrived in McCook, last
week, and who. purpose opening up a
stock of general merchandise in our
town: "Wilcox Bros. have been load
ing their cars this week preparatory to
going to Nebraska. They expect to
start to-day or the first of next week,
and their families will follow in few
days. We are confident that we voice
the sentiments of this entire communi-
ty when we say, we regret to lose these
two live, young, business men and their
families, and we all wish them full
realization of their expectations in their
new home.
The New Richmond, Qnd.0 cores
pondent of the Star, published in a town
in Indiana, has the following very terse
and beftting paragraph concerning
John W. Plunkett, Esq, recently pro-
prietor of the Churchill House, of whom
The TRIBUNE kept our people pretty
well informed during his sojourn among
us: "John W. Plunkett has returned
from the far west, with his hymn book
under his arm" The editor of the Star
seems to have had the honor of a visit
from Johnnie, and after injecting the
editorial bug into Johns ear, and en-
tightening his mind on sundry other
points, he delivers the following from
the right shoulder: "John w. Plum
kett has found time to call around with
wrath perched high on his marble brow
lnquiring by what right the Star pub
lished the fact that he was living in
adultery with woman in quiet town
out West, while mis- faithful wife whom
he left behind, believed he was mining
in Colorado's auriferous fields. John
went away with bug in his ear. He
will not sue for damages in criminal
libel right away"

lightning was incessant. The streets
were filed with men, women and children
and they were tossed and turned IN al.
directions. The new Episcopal Church,
the Southern Pacific saloon and a mum

swept away. Many other buildings were
twisted out of shape. There were five

CINCINNATI JUSTICE.
McHugh, the Wife Murderer, Hanged

CINCINNATI, o., May AT an early
hour this morning people began to con.
gregate in the vicinity of the County Jai
to witness the execution of William Nc.
Hugh, the wife murderer. BY ten O'Clock
there were probably five thousand per,
sons outside of the walls, on the house.
tops, and in the windows of surrounding
buildings. Everything was orderly there
being no demonstrations whatever.
At $40 O'Clock Father Brady went into
McHugh's cell to give such spiritual con.
ISOLATION as lay in his power. At 9:2C
the Rev Father came out and said that
McHugh was IN remarkably quiet frame
of mind, At $40 he ate his last meal on
earth.
At ten o'clock Sheriff Hawkins and a
deputy entered the cell and read the death
warrant. During the reading McHugh
simply paced back and forth in silent
emotion. At 1907 the procession arrived
at the gallows, headed by the Sheriff
The doomed man was then put in posi-
tion on the trap to be pinioned and the
rope loosely adjusted about his neck, after
which the question: "IIave you anything
to say?o was put.
He replied: Goodbye, friends"
The rope was then frightened and the
black cap drawn, and moment later the
drop fell. There were no contortions of
the limbs or evidence of great suffering
At l0:22 the body was still hanging, but
at 10: 80 it was cut down, placed in neat
rosewood coffin and taken charge of by
Undertaken Underhill and prepared for
burial.

The Second Attempt.

MACON, Ga, May 2.-Mr j. l., Chris
tian and Miss S. A. Lochlin, members of
two highly respectable families of Madi-
son, were to have been married last Sun
day. That morning Mr.. Christian re-
ceived letter from the lady, stating
that she had fled the country
before daylight that as the mo-
ment for the marriage approached, her
dread of the Developments of the married
state drove her into such a state of cow
ardice that she could not meet it. She in
closed five dollars to pay for Christians
trouble in getting license. He imme-
diately went in pursuit of her and found
her in Oconee County. She fell upon his
neck, kissed him wildly and declared that
she would never be parted from him. A
second attempt was made at marriage last
night, but in the last moment she swooned
away at the thought, and the ceremony
was again postponed.
