A NOTED TRAVELLER.

Colonel Harry ComStock, an American
Who Has Been Everywhere.
Colonel Harry Comstock of Syracuse.
n. Y, arrived in this city yesterday and
called upon number of old friends, be-
fore continuing his journey to San Fran
cisco. He returned few months ago
from a visit of a year and half in China,
Japan and Burmah, countries where he
had previously spent several years. AL
though not relative of Mayor Comstock,
the Colonel always visits him when he
comes this way, and yesterday had a
pleasant chat with him.
Colonel Comstock is probably the great
est traveller in the United States, having
frequently visited nearly all the leading
countries of Europe and Asia. He is as
much at home when transacting business
with the Mandarins Of China, or travers-
ing the deserts on the back of an elephant
or dromedary, as when sitting in our
Mayors Office or riding in a Pullman
car.
Colonel Comstock once sold $4,000
American rifles to the Chinese Govern
ment, and also put American repeating
rifles in the hands of the Tonouin army
and the Government troops of Japan. He
has visited all the chief temples in the in
terror of those countries, and can talk for
hours about the strange customs of the
people there, whose various languages he
speaks t1uently. He now represents the
Lefever Arms Company,

HID IN THE ATTIC
How Jealous Husband Got Himself
Into Jail,

How a Jealous Husband Got Himself
Into Jail.
A telephone message was received at
the Police Station yesterday stating that
assistance was needed on f street, be-
tween Seventh and Eighth, where NJ.
M. Claig and family reside. 1t was
further stated that burglar was in the
house.
Chief of Police Drew and Officer Lowell
started for the place Immediately, and
upon arriving there found Mrs. Claig and
her twenty-year-old son in quite an
agitated condition. 1t was explained to
the officers that Mr.. Clsdg was out Of the
city, and that a burglar, taking advantage
OF his absence, had gotten into the house
and secreted himself in the attic, where
he had been boring holes down through
the ceiling.
The only way to get into the attic was
through small opening in the ceiling Of
one Of the rooms, and stepladder had to
be used by the officers to reach this. The
Chief ascended, and after cropping about
IN the dust and darkness found the
prowler. Selling him by the legs he
dragged him out of his hiding place and
into the light. 1t was Claig himselfl
When Mrs. Claig got glimpse of the
supposed burglar she offered an explana-
ton of the predicament. Her husband
was insanely jealous of her, and had eyi-
IDENTIFY intended to watch her from the at
tic. A few evenings ago he said he was
going to Lincoln to get employment, but
1t was apparent that he had counter
marched to the attic. He had bored holes
into all of the rooms so that he could see
what was going on.
Claig was taken to the City Prison by
Officer Lowell and locked up on charge
of disturbing his wife'S peace.

OUR PECULIAR SYSTEM.
Thieves Victims Punished, While the
Former Enjoy Life.

Thieves Victims Punished, While the
Former Enjoy Life.
There is something radically wrong
with that system of so-called jurispru-
dence which subjects wronged citizen
to months Of Imprisonment, while the
criminal is allowed to go free on bail.
About the 1st of last December Harry
Hagan swore to complaint charg-
ing a woman named Lizzie O'Brien
with having robbed him of $40. He
being a stranger, was sent to Jail, so
that ''he might be had when
wanted" while the woman found some
one to put up bond for her appearance,
whereupon she was allowed to go.
For nearly four months Hagan was a
prisoner, and, as he says, compelled to do
drudgery about the Jail for fourteen hours
day. When the case was called in court
few days ago the woman was dis
charged, because there was no evidence
against her other than that to be given
by her victim.
Now Hagan is trying to find out
where he gets off," He has paid the
penalty which should have been inflicted
on the person who robbed him. I'm
doubtedly it was the duty of somebody
to have discovered several months ago
what evidence could be had, and to have
disposed OF the case then and there, in
stead Of subjecting the complaining wit
ness to such pain and indignity.
There are many such crimes committed
as the one referred to which never come
to light, and all because the victims do
not care to lie in Jail for months awaiting
the convenience of courts and lawyers to
try their cases, while the accused parties
walk the streets.

BULLETS IN THE AIR.
Joe Soto Committed for Trial for As
SaIilt Witt, q Neannu.

80
sault With a Weapon.
Joe Soto, the Mexican charged with as
sault with q deadly weapon upon Clar-
ence Davis in front of Frank Bayer's
saloon, on the corner of Second and NJ
streets, showed up in the Police Court
yesterday.
1t appeared from the evidence that
about week ago Soto appeared at the
saloon with genial friend of his about 10
O'Clock at night and wanted 10 run things
MS own way. He met there number OF
MexIcans, quarreled with one or two Of
| them, and pow-wowed around until he
saw Davis. He beckoned Davis outside
the door, drew his pistol and fired 1t IN
order to frighten him.
Frank Bayer testified that Soto had been
making trouble around his place on other
occasions, and that he had forbidden him
| TO come there. Bayer said that on the
night IN question there was q disturb
ance at the door and he went, revolver in
hand, TO see what was the matter. Davis
got up at the same time and went up the
street, whereupon Bayer saw Soto fire
! his pistol in the direction OF Davis.
A number of Mexicans testified, but
| they were not very explicit In their eX
plantations, and several of them acknowl-
edged they were too drunk to observe
things very closely.
Soto said he met several gentlemen
at the saloon, and had row there. One
Brown went down. for knife, and he
(Soto) shot his pistol into the ground to
scare him. He did not shoot at Davis,
and didn't see him. Then Soto said he
made friends with Brown all right, and
that he was drinking and hardly knew
what he was doing. He only fired once,
he said.
Judge Cravens, after summing up the
evidence, said Soto appeared to have a
| grudge against the saloon-keeper, and
that he wanted to frighten Davis out, or
that he mistook Davis for Bayer and fred
| been committed and the shot fired. He
therefore ordered that Soto be committed
to the Sheriff and held to bail in the sum
of 81 800.

YOUNG DESPERADOES.
BoyS Who Amuse Themselves by Pelt-
ING Trains With stones.

Boys Who Amuse Themselves by Pelt-
ing Trains With stones.
Three boys, named W. E. Jordan,
Ralph Hunter and John Wills, were be-
fore Judge Cravens in the Police Court
yesterday morning. to answer to the
charge OF assault on Sherman Curran, a
brakeman on the railroad.
Various witnesses testified that the
railroad officials and employees at the de-
pot and yard have been annoyed for some
time past by a gang of very bad boys
aged from to Is years. The boys have
been in the habit of throwing stones at
passing trains, and of making themselves
nuisance generally.
On Thursday night gang of seven or
more of them attacked Brakeman Curran
with rocks, and continued the battle until
the officers appeared and arrested the
three mentioned.
The Jordan boy pleaded not guilty, and
did not seem to be member of the gang.
As none OF the witnesses could identify
him as such he was discharged.
Hunter and Wills testified at length in
their own behalf, and if what they stated
bore any near resemblance to truth they
are as innocent as lambs. and never did
nothin' nowheres." Sad to relate, how
ever, their accounts did balance up very
satisfactorily, and when questioned by
Prosecuting Attorney Hart they got their
history and movements very much
understanding their sworn statements
in very reckless way.
Judge Cravens "sized them up" very
easily as very bad boys, and told them he
would dispose of them on Wednesday.
They deserve q taste of stricter law
than they seem familiar with, however.
