DIsCoURAGISG 70 THE LEAGUE.
The Justices Refuse to Swear in Special Con-
stables to Aid the Saloonists To-Day.

Dogberry Row settled down to almost. its
normal condition yesterday. There were no ar
rests for violating the law last Sunday, and the
justices were unanimous in saying that they
hoped there would be no revival of the disrep-
utable business next week. They had had
enough, aud they instructed their constables
to have nothing to do with any
schemes the Liquor League may have
for to-day. Bernhamer was around among
them, and insisted that as means of aiding the
League each squire should swear in twenty ex-
ira constabes, but this they refused to do.
Bernhamer declares that the law shall he en-
forced today. and says it can be done without
the aid of the attaches of the 'squires' courts.
His man Fritz will be on hand to do what he

ordered to constitute himself spy to catch of

In the case against Murphy, Hlbben g. Co.
Squire Feibleman announced that be would give
mis- decision on Monday morning. The ouly
cases tried yesterday were the ones against
Scott, Quinn, Turner and Kite. the Indiana
avenue BARRIERS. They were tried before Squire
johnson. Scott owns the shop. and pleaded
guilty to having shaved and received money.
He was fined 81 and costs. The other three
men, who were only employed in the chop,
pleaded not guilty, and were acquitted. These
were the only cases called yesterday.
From indications there will be little of the
usual business done to-day. although many deal
ers who closed on last Sunday will not do so to-
day There were Numerous signs out last even
ing, such as BUY your cigars this evening, for
we will obey the red-eyed law Tomorrow and
of like nature, posted up in many stands. The
butchers say they will not close, because the law
considers their work a necessity.

Fichting Tor Shoes.

The Chicago shoe houss, on West Washington
street, attracted not less than 1000 people in
front of their door, yesterday morning by the
announcement that they would give away shoes.
The house kept its promise, and several hundred
shoes were scattered broadcast in the street.
There was much scrambling among the crowd
for the foot-gear, and not a little bad blood was
enscnde-ed The shoes thrown out were of all
kinds, and the ten-cent slippers generally fell to
the men, while the No. II boots we're frequently
captured by young women. Before the owner
ships were all settled there were several fights.

A Fugitive Captured in a Marsh.

Last week gang of counterfeiters were ar
rested at Topeka Kan. Two or three made
their escape. and United States Marshal Haw-
kins was notified by the Topeka authorities that
at least one of these was supposed to have come
to this State and was thought to be hiding in
the huckleberry marsh in Stark county, where
he had fled on several previous occasions when
the authorities were after him. Deputy Mar

THE BOHEMIANS ORGANIZE.
The Interesting Inaugural Meeting
of the New Social Club.

In response to the call made by the
chairman pro tenn. of the proposed Bohe-
milan Club, there was a fair attendance
OF members at the Office of the Dickert &
Meyers Sulphur Company last evening.
After some little discussion, it was de-
cided to put the question OF organization
or non-organization of the club to vote,
in which the affirmative had large ma
Jority. The constitution, bylaws and
house rules were then taken up and read
by sections. Each clause was considered
carefully before being passed upon, and
it Is safe to say that after the revision of
last evening it is not likely that the arti-
cles will be subjected to further amend
ments. Owing to the time consumed
in this business, the election of officers
could not well be proceeded with, and
the meeting adjourned until Monday
evening next
Judging by the interest thus far shown
in the club, there is no possible chance
OF its proving anything but success,
and with rousing meeting on Monday
night, the election of good officers and
the signing of the constitution, the Bohe.
mian Club is sure to boom.

owing to the absence of some important
witnesses. The prospects are, however.
that when the examination gets in work
! ing order, there will be little trouble in
clnching the defendant. A story is told
OF how he won his second wife which ex-
hlbits a contract out of the usual run of
love pllghts. 1t seems that the girl
had for a long time received the
attentions of ''poor but honest" youth,
who, naturally enough, wanted her to
share his poverty. The girl, sensibly
enough, did not see the point, but she
chung to the lover in hopes that he would
get the capital prize in a lottery drawing
or become suddenly rich in some other
way. Before the streak of luck struck
the youth the fair siren met the bump
tlous Butler, and allowed him to pour
into her willing ear the tales of his vast
wealth. he told her of the shoes, hosiery.
stove lids and boot-jacks, good as new.
stored away in his secondhand shop. and
flnally offered to buy her a piano if she
would be his. This settled it. She told
her youthful adorer that she could

She was soon after married to the Wander
blltlan Butler, and the discords she per-
petrated upon the piano are the only ones

THE MAIDEN RETURNS.
The SequeI TO the Iron County
ElOPement.

Some time ago the DEMOCRAT published
the story OF an elopement which occurred
in Iron county, and in which the princi-
pals were Mormon Bishops daughter
and a Gentle youth from Denver. The
gentleman who brought the news of the
elopement is again in town, and this time
tells the sequel to the story with the same
three-ply request that the names be sup
pressed. As it is not likely that either Of
the parties are known here the suppress
sion OF the names will not detract from
the interest of the story.
The girl claims that the young man
had induced her to leave home only upon
a promise that he would marry her when
they reached the next town. He had,
however, insisted upon her travelling a
much greater distance with him than
was at first proposed, and at last when
she had refused to go further, he pro-
posed to forego the formality of mar
riage ceremony for the present, and
asked her to leave with him for Denver.
The girls Puritanical ideas revolted, and
she, following suit, sought out some rela-
tives, who furnished her the wherewith
to return to her home. She says that
she had no idea her action was wrong,
and she says she was very glad to get
out of his power.
One evening about week after the
elopement, the young girl returned to
her native town by stage and was soon
at her fathers door The old gent was
wrathy and swore that he |
would not allow her to enter the door,
but soon showed this to be idle talk, by |
asking her to take seat by the fire and
tell all about her troubles.
The old folks take the girls story as
rue. She has settled down to the regu-
ar routine OF her former life, and all are
)nce more happy. 1t is now rumored
hat she is already engaged to marry the
rood brother who was previously specu-
ating on her hand, and it is quite posi-
Die that before the flowers bloom again
his hayward maiden will have attained
celestial glory for herself, her husband
md her husbands legal wife.
The story will be lesson to the saint
sses to marry as their parents wish them
o, and trust to luck for the outcome.

THE DENUUEMENT.
The M. p. Skips and Krouse Is Dis
charged.

The events of this morning form the
denouement of mystery which has for
several days kept more than one party in
hot water and which, springing itself too
suddenly upon the reporter of the from
bone, proved such a serious shock to his
sense OF decency that he was forced to
draw upon his Imagination for one OF the
widest tales of the premeditated and
cold-blooded theft of a shoe brush that
has yet been invented. The tale of how
Krouse, wealthy Chicago merchant,
followed a one-horse NJ. p from San
Francisco to this city and then, thinking
it 'time to cover his game" entered the
room and took therefrom brush or two,
is so we'll known that it need not be re-
peated.
The true inwardness of the story 1eav-
ing little room for the exercise of the
imagination of intelligent readers) as
published the next evening in this paper,
is also fresh in the public mind, and rem
ders its repetition unnecessary. The
story as stated at that time, to the effect
that the Commoner had skipped with
the merchants girl" that the mer-
chant had followed them here; that he
had won her affections once more, and
that it was through her that the articles
were transferred, is as near to the true
version as any one has yet been able to
get.
1t is not surprising that the NJ. 7. and
the woman should have left this city on |
the earliest train yesterday morning and |
it will be very strange if either of them !
is ever seen here again.
The Grand Jury this morning con-
GUIDED their examination of the case and
krouse was discharged. 1t is stated
lpon good authority that he will tele-
graph to Denver and have the NJ. Z. ar
'ested there in order that he may prose-
ute his hobbs for the part he took in the
lffair.
The discharge OF Krouse will no doubt
ettle the matter as far as the Salt Lake
part of it is concerned, and it will soon
lie out like the greater sensations that
ave gone before

since last season an entirely new collec-

selection and was generally we'll rem
dered. The Daily brothers are worked as
busily as ever in their efforts to please
and were unusually successful even for
them.

AN ATTEMPT TO RAPE.
N. vi. Anderson Charged with a
HeinOuS Offense.

The closing of the Police Court this af.
ternoon and the holding of private ses-
sion, disclosed the fact that there was
something in the wind. Inquiry failed to
elicit any of the particulars of the trial
but the plain fact that a man named N.
NJ. Anderson was to be examined on the
charge OF attempting to commit rape.
VINO the intended victim is, is likewise a
mystery, but the presence of a
young Swedish girl, probably seventeen
years OF age, in the courtroom would
probably throw some light upon that
subject. Anderson is man about forty
years OF age, and. OF course, foreigner.
The lateness OF the hour when the mat
ter came out makes outside inquiry inn
possible in time for to-day's issue.
