HIGH OLD TIMES IN NEBRASKA.
Various Claimants for the Goyernorship
but Boyd holds the Vantage


Dut BOYD holds the Vantage
Ground.
LINCOLN, Neb Jan. 9.--EX-G Gov. Thay-
er applied t" the supreme court for quo
warrants restraining Gov. Boyd from
exercising tie functions of his office.
Judge Maxwell stated to Thayer's attnr-
ney that inasnuch as their petition ad.
mts that Boyd is governor, their position
is untenable. Maxwell believes Boyd to
De governor and refused the writ. The
supreme court then adjourned till
Tuesday. The board of public lands and
buildings is in session and notified
ihayer to vacate the governors ro,.ms
or the board would officially designate
another room to be tie governors head
quarters. Thayer is locked in his room
with friends; some of them advise him
to submit peacefully and not have to be
elected, dlshonorably. At 1890 Thayer
requested the crowd to stand back from
his door, and said: 81 will not surrend-
er until the proper tribunal declares that
| SHALL" Boyd's irst official act was to
approve the bonds of the newly elected
state officers. Powers, the alliance cam
didate, took the oath of Office at o'clock
today and it is said the legislature will
recognize him as governor. All new
state officers have been recognized ex
cept the governor. Tom Major was in
stalled as lieutenant governor and presi-
dent OF the senate under protest. Gov,
BOYD has been recognized by all new
state officers as governor, and they will
report to him.
Proceedings in senate this afternoon were
not OF much Importance. A movement
was made toward limiting employees to
about half the number given places last
session. Several bills were introduced
and attempt was unsuccessfully made to
approve the minutes of the last session,
This business was still pendlng when ad-
Journment was taken until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning. A house uproar was
created by motion to appoint Il com
mittee to wait upon Gov. Thayer, Cover
nor Boyd and Governor Powers were pro-
posed in rapid succession and matters
had not reached focus at tho time of
adjournment. A resouting directing
presentation of a hill appropriatng $500.
OOo for the relief of the drough sufferers
near the Colorado line was adopted with
enthusiasm.

Much Sympathy Expressed For
the Injured Hus-
band.

Says the Helena journal: A slim young
woman, with dark hair aud rather pretty
face arrived in this city over the Northern
Pacific last Saturday. She came from
Seattle and did not appear to be very we'll
acquainted with the city, but finally Sc
cured room in the United States Lodg-
ing house, over Uncle Sans pawn shop
on Upper Main street. She remained IN
this city until last Tuesday and then went
to ''reat Falls. During her stay in this
city she sent and received numerous tele
grams, and last Wednesday, the day sue.
ceeding her departure, another party
from Seattle arrived, this one being d
man, and it now appears that he is the
party who had been exchanging tele
grams with the good LOOKING young
woman.
The man introduced himself to several
members of the police force as David
Braz" Il, or some such name, and said he
was chief of the merchant police of Sc
attic and his mission to Helena was to en-
deavor to establish branch of Merchant
police system in this city, it IS net know
whether he made any proposition to
merchants Of this city to that effect or
not, but he only remained here one day,
going from here to Great Falls.
Another actor has now appeared on
the scene in the person of j. w. Duval,
who arrived in Helena last night Mr.
Duval repeats the often told story of
domestic unhappiness, finally eliminating
IN the desertion of his wife. The story
told by Duval is substantially as follows:

KID KIDNAPPED.
Singular Story of a Boy Wanted
by an Erring Father.

Little Freddy Weinholz. eleven years
of age, mysteriously disappeared from
his mothers home, at 6S2 Coleman street,
last Monday afternoon. The circum-
stances surrounding the disappearance
of the child point strongly to kidnap-
ping. Mrs. MemholZ secured divorce
from her husband in Cincinnati only a
few months ago, and then, with her
only child. removed to st. Paul, where
she thought she would be free from
further annoyance by her divorced hus-
band. According to her story, as told
to GLOBE reporter yesterday, Vein
holz is very bad and worthless charac-
ter. However, he is very fond of
little Freddy, and made sew
eral attempts to kidnap the
boy in Cincinnati. Mrs. Weinholz, in
leaving the Ohio city, took every pre-
caution to prevent her late husband
from aScertaning where she was going.
She came to st. Paul, where she has
neither friends or relatives, aud up to
two weeks ago she was happy IN the be-
lief that she had at last freed herself
and her child from the worthless hus-
band and father. About two weeks ago
little Freddy came running into the
HOUSE, uutl Sbdl liCu Aio LlOItiC1 Wy QCCluI-
ing he had seen his father in the neigh
borhood. Mrs. Weinholz could scarcely
believe it, and finally reeonciled herself
to the belief that Freddy had mistaken
some stranger for his father. She
thought no more of the incl
dent until last Monday even
ing, when Freddy failed to
come home to supper. The boy had
gone out to join some pIaymates about 4
o'clock. and when at O'clock he failed
to return to his home, Mrs. Weinholz
became alarmed and instituted a search
for him. She ascertained from other
boys in the neighborhood that Freddy
had been playing with them around the
corner of Park avenue and Cottage
street until o'clock. when he started
| for home. Mrs. WeinhoIz was unable
to trace her lost son further, and she
now believes he has been kidnapped by
| his father. Freddy is rather small for
his age, his complexion is very fair and
his hair almost black. He has large
brown eyes and long scar, the result
of severe cut, across the back of the
left hand. At the time OF his disappear
ance he wore suit of gray, with double
breasted coat and knee breaches, knit
cap and red stockings. Until recently
Mr.. Weinholz was employed as clerk
in a shoe store at 321 Vine street,

To the Editor of the q lobe.
In your issue of Thursday, Journey
man Plumber" OH behalf of the
plumbers union, writes to say that [
have made statements i'll connection
with their-sO-called grievance, which
are absolutely false" In other words.
that anonymous correspondent has the
privilege of your columns to call me
liar without in the least making good
the assertion. Now to settle the ques-
tion of yeracity: | will deposit 500
against like amount by them with a
joint committee of the plumbers union
and the NJ. Z, A.. to be forfeited to- a
charitable institution if they can prove
single statement of mine MOTTO be sub
Stantially true. and will put up another
$l0e against theirs to be disposed of
the same way il cannot show at least
three of their statements as reported in
the GLOBE to be absolutely false.''
Let them speak now or forever hold
their peace. Now, Mr. Editor, do not
see that this wrangling can be of inter-
est to your readers, and this is the last
of it for me, but one word in regard to
one of my men who is on strike on ac-
count OF this grievance. and vino has
been III my employ for over three years:
l do not believe him capable of any of
the tricks that were played on the job
aud an injustice may have been done
him III the way my protest was WOrded.
But | would just say finally that if the
union want to use ''all honorable
means" to obtain their rights let them
beware of rushing into print with false
and malicious statements calculated to
injure man in his business every time
they get themselves into tight place.

INDIANS ARE INDIGNANT
At the Bare Thought They Would
War on White Brothers,

The governor yesterday received a re-
port from the sheriff and auditor of
Kittson county as to the supposed up
rising of the Indians in this state. The
report, which is annexed, shows that
the matter never had any foundation,
but was started by some evil-disposed
person for selfish reasons. The gov
ern0r is very anxious that the report
should receive every publicity, SO that
the fears of the settlers may be allayed.
The report is as follows:

our report of the supposed uprising of the

the county commissioners and Adjt Gen
Mullen. we started on the 2Sth day of Janu-
airy for the Roseau Valley and Lake of the
Woods The first night out, on our arrival at
the Two River Crossing, we found the two
stopping places crowded with refugees
WAGONS and sleighs were passing ali the
night.
Inc next morning we started for the
Roseau valley and met load after load leav-
ing the country; we tried TO persuade them to
return or at least TO find shelter without
going further; but, with a few exceptions it
was impossible 10 stem the tide. On our ar
rival 1T Jadis on the Roseau river we found
the same state of things: they were building
Il stockade to defend themselves and had or
ganized q volunteer company. We reassured
them, telling them that they were sure of aid
from the state in case of any emergency
The next morning we left for Lake of the
Woods, ut the mouth OF the War Road river.
where the so-ealied war dance had been
held. and having procured an Interpreter
asked the chiefs and a few Indians that were
left to meet US. When they arrived we told
them that we had come there to inquire into
the cause of the trouble. The head chief
then spoke. He said that he was very
grieved to think that the white men should
think SO i'll of them as TO suppose that they
wished to do them any harm; they had ALWAYS
been friends with them, and the first they ever
heard of any outbreak was from q white
trader he also stated that the story of other
Indians coming to join them was utterly
false at least he knew nothing about it. The
noted dance was only their annual festival
and there were only about thirty-ive bucks
present. Other Indians expressed themselves
in like manner. and said they were afraid
now that the whites would not let them come
amongst them and trade. We treasured them.
and left them i'll 8 contented frame of mind
The whole business seems to have been
started either by some Idiot as a practical
joke or by some eyil-dispesed persons for
their own purposes. The consequences have
been lamentable. Between 800 and 400 peo-
pie. men, women and children left their
homes, most of them in a complete state of

A FIERCE FORT FIRE.
The Old Regimental Quarters
at Smelling Entirely Con-
sumed by Fire.
Despite Heroic Efforts by Sold
iers the Flames Savage
ly Ragged.
A Peculiar Case of a Boy Kid
naped by His Erring
Father.
Gov. Merriam Receives An
Exhaustive Report of In
dian SeapeS.

Fire broke out last night, shortly be-
fore o'clock in the Odd Fellows hall
at Fort Smelling, situated in the old reg
mental quarters which were abandoned
some time since for the new quarters
further across the plateau. The flames
were not discovered until a good start
had been gained, and before the fire APP
paratus arrived the flames had spread
in such a manner as to involve the
entire structure, that is. the
now deserted quarters, which have
been used of late for storing sup
plies and by the Odd Fellows. The en-
tire command was turned out to fight
the flames, under Lieut.. Williams, but
the material of which the houses were
built. aside from the stone in the walls,
was very combustible, and burned so
fercely that little could be done to-
wards checking the flames. In half an
hour from the time the alarm was given
the entire square was in a blaze,
and the fire had spread to the
diOining house, in which a number
OF families resided. The latter were at
once removed and taken to one of the
new company houses. The appliances
for combating the progress of the fire
were entirely inadequate, and it became
evident in short time after the out
break that the old buildings were
doomed to destruction. At 10 o'clock
tho fire was still blazing fiercely,
and from the town of Men
dota the scene was brilliant
one. The men worked we'll. but their
efforts were useless, the buildings were
entirely destroyed. Just what the loss
will be tits difficult to determine. Lieut.:
Williams stated that he could not tell
any thing about the damage until it was
definitely known what the values Of the
stores had been. The Odd Fellows lost
all their regalia and other valuable
property. At the time of going to press
the fire was still raging.
