SMITH CROWS FOR VICTORY.

required their united exer-
tions at times to subdue
his exhuberance. County Attorney
Davis, of course, represented the state,
and as it was apparent when the first
witness finished that nothing could be
found against Smith, he determined to
make it pleasant all around and get in a
sly rap at the Democracy whenever an
opportunity offered. There was abso-
connect Smith with improper or incor-
rect methods. 1t appeared that mo-
tiOn was made by Maben to have all
voters registered, which was voted
down. Then P. II. Gibbons had made
mOJiOn to have the names and resi-
denceS of voters announced as they en-
tered the door to vote, but whether this
was carried or not the witnesses could
not say. A Mr.. Crafty testified that he
had challenged voter, but he was not
sure the challenge was heard and next
moment the crowd had swept the voter
by. He did not know the voter was
nonresident, but he merely suspected
him. A hack driver named Emerson
said he had brought out hack
load of men and let them out
at the creek, for which he
was paid by another hackman named
Welsh, but as he could not connect
Smith with this or show for what pur-
pose he hauled the men, the testimony
was ruled out. Attorney Davis pleas
antly guyed each witness as Maben
brought them ON, and joined in the
general laugh as one after another they
proved to know nothing. The laugh
was hearty when it came out that
Maben had gotten out a ticket with
Ames' picture OH it and headed by his
ha
delegate.
Finally Maben took the stand, and
seemed very much put out that a cruel
court would not allow him to tell all he
heard in addition to what he knew. Mr..
Davis assured him that what he had
been Informed was not what he knew,
but Mr.. Maben'S knowledge, it ap-
pealed, was confined to what he had
heard. He was sure the caucus was not
run right and that non-residents had
been permitted to vote, and he in
sisted OH it, but he could
give no names or details. This
County Attorney Davis leaned back in
his chair and wink ed at the defense. 1t
had been burlesque all through. De-
fendant Smith Immediately jumped up
to be sworn, but his counsel pulled him
down and before motion could be
made the court dismissed the case.
o'Shall l transcribe this testimony"
asked the stenographer.
"Yes, l want it ALL" replied Judge
Bailey. Il particularly want that
about the hackman and his load of men.
There is another case pending and there
may be something in this" This is the
case of George r. Seaton, who is
charged by Maben with having ran in
nonresident voters.
Down on the sidewalk, A. D. Smith
was surrounded by his friends and con-
graduated. some of them cautioning
him against saying anything that would
make trouble. 81 have Maben on the
hip" exclaimed Smith. "This whole
thing was malicious from first to last,
and | propose that he shall pay for it.
I've been damaged at least s., 900 and
propose to sue him for malicious prose-
cution."
Come along, Smith," interposed a
friend, well talk of damage suits later

Another Suit Over a Missis-

The third annual Minneapolis exposi-
ton was opened yesterday under the
most auspicious circumstances. The
day was bright and the people happy.
The exhibits were for the most part ar
ranged. and when the vast audience be-
gan to assemble about o'clock the
great building presented an animated
scene. The exercises were brief, and
there was no procession, owing to the
fact that the number of ''special' days
rendered it undesirable that the initial
ceremonies should be at all elaborate.
At 2 O'Clock Cappa's Seventh. New
York, Regiment band started the ''Star

the national air, grandly rendered,
served as signal to collect the audience

A Greek letter fraternity of girls is
horribly suggestive of corkscrew curls
and blue stockings, or at least of a Vas
sar-like severity of mien and profund-
ity of information. To know that the
Kappa Kappa Gamma fraternity is in
convention at Minneapolis is to pict-
ure to ones self collection of
maidenS of uncertain age who would
smother one with dissertation on the
Whichness of the Was, or utterly crush
and demOraliZe one with an oiled quo
tation of LiebnitZ, Spinola or Kant;
but the fact is that the group of dele
gates who compose the fraternity is

Capt. j. N. Cross last night, one might
have thought their knowledge of Greek
touched only upon Apthrodite, leaving
Athene carefully locked up in the fra
ternity hall at the university. Capt.
Cross entertained the delegates at an
informal fete, last evening, and to-day
the business of the convention will be
resumed. The sessions are dead secrets,
put IL lne ven could be removed 1t is
doubtful if the proceedings would be of
special interest to the world at large.

A SINGULAR SUIT.
Another Mississippi Island Shown
to Be Valuable.


William Burfenning. who several
years ago was the owner of piece of
land lying between First street and the
river, just north of the mouth of Bas-
sett'S creek, has begun an action against
the Omaha railway company for the
possession Of three sand bars, which
have been formed in the river
a short distance from the river
bank and just opposite to the
property which he formerly owned. and
which he says is worth $4,000. Burfen-
ming sold his property to the railway
company several years ago, and the land
is at present covered with railroad
track and forms part of the defendants
railroad yard, and since the saw mills
have been removed from the falls to a
point north of the Plymouth avenue
bridge, the boomS and piers placed in the
river have changed the current so
that what were formerly sand bars COW
cred with water, except when the river
was very low, have by the accumulation
of SawduSt and drift wood from the saw
mills above become part of the MAIN
land, and have for the past two wears
been covered with a dense growth of
willow brush. A short time ago the
railway company commenced to fill

ton to compel these parties to desist
from dumping any more sawduSt on the
land in question and asks for an order
of the court to compel them to remove

IT WAS A mere FARCE.
The Maben Charges Against Smith Are
Collapsed.
THE FIGHT IN THE FOURTH.
An Utter Failure to Make a Case
Against Smith, Damages
Threatened.

a. D. Smith. the Democratic orator of
the Fifth ward, ran down the stairway
OF the municipal court, yesterday, four
steps at jump, and when on the side
walk let out triumphant whoop:
"Oh, the beast! This will cost him
abO ut s., ,0O0."
Smith was jubilant; the court had
just dismissed the criminal action
brought against him by c. B. Maben
under the Whitman law; and had dis
missed it, too, after hearing the testi-
mony for the state without requiring
anything from the defense. The charge
was that Smith, as an inspector of the
recent Democratic caucuses in the
Third precinct of the Fourth ward, had
virtually "stuffed the ballot box'' and
corrupted the primary, though it did
not say so in so mafiy words. Smith
has been boiling over with Indignation
ever since, and when the case was called
yesterday, he could scarcely keep his
seat, so anxious was he to give his testi-
mOny. w. II. Donahue and G. r.
Baxter appeared for him, and it

GATES UNDER ARREST.
Efforts to Suppress the Case
What Is Said About II

what Is Said About 1t.
Notwithstanding the fact that a tre-
mendous effort was made to keep the
affair quiet, the arrest of George w.
Gates, for some years past the book
keeper and cashier of Hugh Kirkwood,
the agricultural implement dealer on
First street south, is now public prop
erty, and was the subject of much COM
ment yesterday. 1t appears that ON
Tuesday afternoon the legal adviser of
Mr.. klrkWoOd secured from County At
torney Davis warrant for the arrest of
Mr.. Gates on the charge of embeZZling
some $1,000 belonging to his employer.
This warrant was placed in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Lucker. He found Gates
at his desk in Mr.. Kirkwood's store and
placing him under arrest, took him into
the municipal court. John NJ. Miller ap-
peared as Gates attorney, Gates waived
examination, and was bound over to the
grand jury under bonds of 81, ZOO. which
were furnished by II. G. Peterson, the
grocer. and DR.. Hutchins. After this
Gates was released. AS all persons con-
nected with the case have made strenu-
Gus endeavOrs to keep the matter quiet,
1t was not generally known that Gates
mad been arrested at all. Mr.. kirkWOOd
was seen yesterday, but declined to
make any statements in the case. Gates
has been employed by Mr.. KirkWOOd for
nine years as cashier and bookkeeper,
and has always borne good reputation.
1t is now claimed that for some years
past Gates has been spending more
money than he earned, and some of Mr..
kirkWoOd'S friends even went to him
and suggested that some or one of his
employees might be robbing him. Mr..
kirkwood laughed at the suggestion,
but made an examination of his books.
What he found led him to call in an ex-
pert. who, after makinga careful exam
lnatlon, had no hesitation in declaring
that the man who had had change of the
books had been doing crooked work and
robbing his employer of from $25 to SIS,
per week. Mr.. Kirkwood did not want
to cause Gates arrest, and, calling a
council of Gates friends, asked the
Dookkeeper to explain matters. Mr..
Gates could not do it, and insisted that
he had done nothing wrong. 1t was
finally proposed that if he would tell
where the money had gone, and would
make restitution as far as possible, the
matter would be dropped. Again Gates
declared his innocence, and Mr.. Kirk
wood decided to let the law take itsn
course. While he would say nothing
as to what amount of money had been
taken. it is generally understood that
the amount will exceed $1,000. Mr..
Gates friends claim that is all a terrible
mistake, and that when the case comes
to trial he will be able to explain every
thing to the satisfaction of all con
cerned. Mr.. Gates resides with his wife
and children out on Chestnut avenue,
and IS well known in Minneapolis,
where he has many friends. He is we'll
known in society circles, and has never
before been touched by breath of sns-
picion.
