Suits to Enforce 1t Dismissed MANY Pleas
for Divorce Burglars Given Eight
Years-Boys Released on Parole.

The city of Indianapolis was plaintiff in
two cases IN the Circuit Cour against de-
PENDANTS who had violated license ordi-
nances. John Boylew, one of the defend
ants. was said to have violated the liquor
license ordinance in having sold liquor
without obtaining q license, and John w.
Morse was said to have peddled without
license. When the cases were called for
trial yesterday the city was compelled to
enter Q dismissal on account of its inabili-
~ to produce proper evidence against the
defendants. This inability was caused by
the loose method of keeping the records in
the city clerks Office. The ordinance to be
valid must have been published and there
was nothing In the clerks offic re to show
hat publication had ever been made.

work yesterday morning looking for a
man who would correspond to the des-

The villain, ii there was villain, was
described as q man, either mulatto or

He arrested the man and showed him

MED that the prisoner was her assail-

Under these circumstances, the police

A FORTUNE THROWN AWAY


An Interesting Incident Of Ten Years
Ago.
. EDITORS HERALD: In 1888 very in
telligent business man came to my house
with lady friend of his who wanted to
make an Investment. A thirty -ive-acre
lot was offered to her for $40 per acre.
They wished to know if thought it q
good Investment. l told them there
was no better investment anywhere.
On this the lady took an option and
paid $50. but was told by the knowing
ones it was not worth anything; so she
gave it up and lost her $50. Four years
after that if it had been put up at auc-
tion it would have sold for $15O, 900, and
now after the boom, as they call it, has
bursted it would sell for 100000. Such
10 public sentiment and such is the judg-
ment Of so-called good business men.
There are hundreds Of places here now
that would be as good Investments as
the thirty-five acres was then, but the,
investor is told by the smart Alecks who
are looking out for their own interests
that there is no sale for such property,
and the party is shutof from making
small investment that would in q few
years make him small fortune.

wIEsENDANcER ARRESTED.

A Complication Resulting From an Old
Land Deal.
Theodore Wiesendanger was arrested
yesterday morning on warrant issued
in Justice Austin's court. The prisoner
is charged by N. Kirst with obtaining
money under false pretence. Kirst is a
Mondonville farmer. and on December
23d, of last year, leased sixty-five acres
of land for seven months for $125. He
claims that Wiesendanger claimed to be
in charge OF the land and had a perfect
right to lease it.
Kirst put in crop on the land, after
paying the $125 to Wiesendanger. Soon
after, however, Dan Mcfarland and
Chas. Mcfarland appeared on the prem
ises, and infor ned Mr.. Kirst that Wies-
endanger had no rights in the matter.
They compromised by allowing Kirst to
harvest his crop after paying them $125
also.
Kirst then attempted to collect the
amount stated from Wiesendanger, and,
upon failing, swore to the present COM
plant.
The arrest was made yesterday by
Deputy Codstable Johnston, and Justice
Austin fixed the bail in the case at
$1,000. A bond for this amount was
readily given. The examination was
set for Tuesday, the 28th.
Mr.. Wiesendanger, when seen yester-
day, said that he, jointly with Dan Nc
Farland and w. H. Bonsall in 1886
bought 400 acres Of land called Arling-
ton Heights; that from that time he
has been managing agent of that tract
of land, has kept the account books, col
lected all rents, paid taxes, paid $50, 900
to Jaughin and SAC, 900 in principal and
interest to Rimpau, the former owners.
The sixty-fve acres which he leased to
Kirst in December last for a rental OF
same tract. called Arlington Heights.
The books, checks and vouchers and
other documents show, claims Wiesen-
danger, that he had right to manage
and lease that land.
