AN OFFICIAL CROOK.

Cracker.

Cracker.
PEORIA, H., Feb. "a week ago the
saloon OF Bowe Il O'Brien, just across
the street from police headquarters. was
entered early In the morning and the
safe robbed OF S700. The only clue To
roober was bloody knife which he the
leftbehind. In cutting the putty from a
window In the rear by which he
entered the thief had also evidently
cut his hand. The city electrician,
Henry Schearer, put In an appearance at
the city hall next mornig with an injured
hand, but II was some days before he
was suspected, owing TO the high char
acter he had borne. He had been con-
nected with the fire department OF this
city for twenty two years aud been an
important man In the department ever
since the introduction or the electric
system. So great was his popularity,
and so conspicuous his talents that, al
though q democrat. he was made city
electrician under the present republican
city administration. He Ia also man
OF considerable property, so there
was no apparent reason why he
should be reduced TO stealing.
So strong, however. grew the im-
preston that an investigation followed
aud Il was ascertained that he had lately
been drinking and gambling heavily.
Finally Mayor Clark called him into his
Office and directly charged him with the
theft. At first he denied II, but finally
made confession and handed over Sii9
of the money Schearer claims that a
portion OF the money taken was confed-
crate money which had been kept by the
firm as relies and that he burned those
bills and possibly some good money with
them. His arrest, which speedily fol
lowed, caused great sensation.

The Dinaer of Kissed Authors.

Alphonse Daudet says, in his remin-
iscences of "Tourgneneff in Paris,

BUTTE. Mont, Feb. e.-Prof. Email,
OF Chicago, the expert for the proponent
IA the Davis case, has had the will In his
charge to-day. The effort Is TO prove
the authenticity OF the will as against the
work of the experts for the contestants.
The will Is said TO be falling TO pieces,
and can scarcely be held together.
Judge Hatton has instructed, however,
that the experts have all the time they
desire In which to examine the will, no
matter how dilapidated IL may become.
Another batch OF dispositions arrived last
night from Iowa. They are to establish
the identity OF deed signed by A. j.
Davis In Iowa years ago. This sigma

Authenticity OF the signature 10 the will.

istrator John A. Davis and the western
relatives. Judge Mediation, of the
Butte district court, impaneled a jury of
tWenty=fnnr aud announced that he WAS
ready To proceed with the trial To test
the validity OF the will. The Root claim
ants asked q continuance, on the ground
that witnesses were not present, which
was refused. The Root attorneys dis
covered that the jury before which Judge
Mediation proposed TO try the case had
been irregularly drawn, and objected,
but were again overruled. They took
the matter 10 the supreme court. and
the point was argued by Col. Ingersoll
and others. The chief justice decided
that the jury was irregularly drawn. and
commanded Judge Mediation 70 obtain q
jury through commission, who should
select from 800 names. This postpones
for month at least the test of the val
idity of the will hequeathing the prop
crty Of John A Davis. The decision Is a
big point In favor of the Root claimants.

sEvEKE AT SIOUX FALLS.


Sioux FALLS, s. d., Feb. Especial:
The worst storm this winter prevailed in
this section of country oil yesterday and
last night. The wind blew a gale from
the northwest. driving snow through the
air at terrific rate. All that prevented
hrst-class blizzard was lack of
snow, and all the railroads are more
or-less blockaded, bet this will be OF
short duration. Last nights outgoing
train on the Illinois Central was aban-
doned. as were the outgoing freights
this morning. None of the incoming
passengers had arrived at o'clock this
afternoon. 1t Is thought the storm was
quite severe on the pralre, but no fatali-
ties among stock have been reported.
