SUPPOSED to Be Alexander.

Chief of Police belong received a
telegram late yesterday evening from
Shariff f. NJ. Scroghem, at Nevada,
saving that he had arrested two men,
one Of them a red headed fellow, wear
ing spectacles, probably VIM. Alex
ander, who is wanted in this city for
the theft of $50 from his roommate
Monday night.
Chief belong at once telegraphed
him to mail full description by way
of Rich Hill so it would reach him in
time to take the south bound train
this morning, in case it proved to be
the man wanted.
No answer had been received up to
10 o'clock this morning. The parties
arrested at Nevada were taken from a
north bound train and it is hardly sup
posed that Alexander would be COM
ing back to the scene Of his escapade.
Since the above was put in type,
Marshall belong received a telegram
from Sheriff Scroghem, saying the de-
scription sent agreed with that Of the
prisoner. The marshall will leave for
Nevada to-nlghtandw will bring both the
prisoners here tomorrow morning.

UNDER ARREST.
Well Known Sedalian Charged
With Obtaining Money Un.
der False Pretense.

Frank Tbias. the past secretary of
the Sedalia Brewing company, was ar.
rested this morning ON a warrant
sworn out by VIM. Halter. charging
him with having obtained money
under false pretenses. His bond was
fixed at $500, and he was released,
Peter Pehl and Herman Schmidt
signing the bond.
1t seems from the warrant that in
the latter part of February,
Frank Thias sold to William
Halter the property at al East Third
street, where the latter is now run
ming a saloon. The consideration was
$1,000. and Thias claiming that the
property was free from any incum-
brance induced Halter to buy 1t
without the usual abstract.
To satisfy himself Mr.. Halter
afterwards investigated the mat
ter and found judgments existed
against Thias amounting to some
81, 700, and which constituted a lien
on the transferred property.
When confronted with the fact.
Thias claimed that Halter had made
the trade with his eyes open and that
he would not return any of the pur
chase price. The warrant was issued
this morning in accordance with the
above mentioned facts,
Nr. Thias has retained VIM. Par
merlee and w. ID. Steele as his attor-
neys and a hitter fight is expected.
He could not he found this afternoon
and hence his side of the story could
not be had.

WHISKEY AND WOMEN.
A Crime Which Took Place
Near Ridge Prairie a
Few Days Ago.

1t was reported in Marshall. No.,
Monday that a family consisting OF
Asa Harlow and wife and Peter VOL
frey and wife were murdered at their
home in Cooper county last Saturday
night.
Dilligent search in this city failed
to reach facts in the case but the
Marshall Democrut-Ners gives the fol-
lowing version OF the affair.
"On Saturday night two men, Will
Taylor and james Dial, living near
Ridge Prairie, went to the home of
Asa Harlon, just over the line in
Cooper county and raised sheol gener-
ally. The Harlow home has
quite an unsavory reputation and
that fact has been aired
in the courts in this county. a woman
or two being verv much mixed up in
the disgusting scandal. Dial and
Taylor being drunk soon started row
and in a few moments had knocked
Peted Wolford and his wife insensible
with chairs. Old man Harlow came
to the rescue of his daughter and SON
in-law and they felled him with an axe
The greatest Indignation is manifested
in that community and a desire to
hunt down and punish the men who
committed the deed is rife. Whiskey,
women, and the Jail will cover the
whole story

BURGLARS At COLE CAMP.
Blow Open a Safe at Claus
Junge's and Rob the Store
of Louis Grother.

Burglars got in their work in the
little town of Cole Camp, twenty
miles south of here Tuesday night,
and as result the safe in the hard
vase and implement store of Claus
Junge was blown open and the drug
store of Louis Grother robbed.
They visited Junge's first, it is sup
posed, and blew open the safe by pow
der placed in a hole they had drilled
into the lock. They got no money
but between 81, 900 and 1000 worth
OF negotiable notes were taken.
The marriage of Fred jacobson and
a certain Cole Camp belle will have
to be postponed until a new permit
can be obtained, az the burglars car
ried of the license, which was in the
safe. They took several hundred pis-
tol cartridges and a number of files and
drill which they will no doubt use in
future like operations.
They didn't tackle the safe at Gro
bers. 1t was a burglar-proof and
time-lock affair and they were either
limited in their time, or were afraid to
tackle so big a job. The cash drawer
was torn out. but no money was found.
A number of pairs of glasses, some
liquor and cigars was all that has been
The work was evidently done by
efforts, and liberal reward is offered
for evidence which will lead to the Ar
rest and conviction of the mlscreants.
All the banks have been notified not

county Jail, Thomas and William
Woodward, charged with stealing
sheep, were taken by Sheriff Porter
and Constable Gossage, this morning,
to see the remains Of their mother,
who died at 7:40 o'clock last evening.
The sickness and death of the moth
er was greatly due to her worry about
the family troubles, and as death
drew near she expressed a desire to see
her two boys who were confined
in the Jail.
Sheriff Porter was out of the
city then and his deputy, Robert Ram
sey. is still unfit for active duty, the re-
suit Of being thrown from buggy some
time back. Constable Barnett hear
ing of the condition of affairs, offered
his service as guard and just as he was
making arrangements to take the boys
from the Jail, word was received an
nouncing the mothers death.
The visit to their dead mother this
morning was a sad sight. The
two boys seemed to feel their situa-
ton worse than ever and expressed
the wish that their actions had been
different. They stayed about twenty
minutes and were then taken back to
Jail. All the family were present and
joined in the request that the two boys
he allowed to attend the funeral
which will be held Friday The re-
quest will be granted if Sheriff Porter
can so arrange it.

Got Her Divorce.

The divorce suit of Charles II.
Stone against Hattie A. Stone was
called up by Judge Slower in the
second division of the circuit court

ton was rather unusual. Some time
ago the plaintiff fled a petition suing
for a divorce, and insinuatlng among
his allegations that Mrs. Stone had not
been dutiful wife. The allegations,
the defendant alleged, were unjust,
and she became indignant Her first
step in relation was to file suit against
her husbands mother, Mrs. L. A.
Wilson, of Findlay, o.. for s25, 900
damages for alternating her husbands
affections.
At that time Mrs. Wilson was in
this city with her son hut she escaped
service by Immediately going hack to
Ohio, taking her son, the plaintiff in
the divorce suit, with her. 1t is said
Mrs. Wilson is worth a large amount
of money. while the plaintiff in the
divorce suit and defendant in the dam
age suit is highly connected with this
city, being q daughter of George W.
Mexican. special Indian agent for
South Dakota with headquarters at
Chamberlain, S. d.
When the divorce case came up
yesterday morning the plaintiff was
not present in person, but had able
council in the court room. The de-
PENDANT however, was there with her
counsel and promptly filed an answer
DENYING every allegation made by the
plaintiff. She also filed cross bill
for divorce and custody of a three
year old child.
After some parley among counsel
the plaintiffs attorney Withdrew his
petition and Mrs. Stone was shortly
aftey given a decree for absolute d.
vorce and custody of the child, with
alimony in the sum of $3.50. The
S25, 900 damage suit is still pending.

Justifable indignation.

There is woman living somewhere
in the stretch of rural beauty between
Warren and Niles, Ohio, who thinks
herself one Of the most abused Great
ures now in the flesh, and is made all
the more violent because she can dis
cover no way in which to get even.
Sometime ago her husband disap-
peared. Shortly after the body of a
man was found hanging in the woods
near by, and she identified the re-
mains as those of her missing worse
half. A very gratifying funeral was
held, the widow had becoming suit
of mourning and the receiving Of the
sympathy bestowed upon her forlorn
condition was pleasant experience
never to be forgotten. Now the hus-
band has turned up well and hearty,
and she is the maddest woman be-
tween two oceans. She looks upon it
as q regular ,bunco game that he
should appear after all that she has
passed through and the particularly
comfortable time she was having.
