An Irfalljblc Judge.

Edward Roscwatcr. editor of the
Omaha Bee, was this week sent
to Jail for 80 days and to pay a
fine of $500 for alleged contempt
of court, as told in our tcle-
graph columns heretofore. Without
being given an opportunity to np-
peal, Rosewater was ordered taken
to Jail ut once. and for sin hours he
was behind the bars of the Douglas
county Jail. At O'Clock the state
supreme court granted 4 superscdcas
and Hoscwatcr was released until the
case can be reviewed by the higher
court.
The alleged oifcnsc committed by
Roscwatcr was in allowing to be

The facts in the case were not de

wrote the matter brought before him

that Rosewatcr knew nothing of the

was entirely ignorant that an article
of any such nature was about to ap-

Scott declared the defendant guilty,
after giving him n severe tongue
lashing that provoked some demon

judge then started to impose SEN

opportunity to lie heard. The editor
interrupted the court with demand
that he be heard. This the court Mt

What Is Thought ut Washington ofRcccnt
Occurrences.
WASHINGTON, April 27.-Although Unit
ed States troops were the only force COM
petent apparently to deal with the Hogan
army, the authorities here are wondering
what Indiana is going to do about Frye's
train stealers. This is n case where the
war department will take no action unless
called upon by the governor The Vandalia
line is not operating under the direction
of the United States courts, and therefore
the federal government cannot take the
initiative in moving against the train
stralers.
1t is evident that the national authori-
ties are somewhat disappointed and cha
grined ut the failure OF the governors and
local authorities in western states to do
their full duty in such cases as that hap
pening at Terre Haute, Ind, where Fryes
gang seized u train. All along. it is
thought in official circles here, there has
been shown disposition to refrain from
interfering with these organized bodies,
even where they have violated property
rights and the laws of the states, each To-
cality contenting itself with transferring
the evil as rapidly as possible to the
neighboring town or state as the easiest
way to get rid of the trouble. 1t cannot
be set mp in eXtenuation by the state
authorities that they have not the power
to deal with the law breakers.

SEARCHING FOR CALDWELL'S AS
SISTANr POSTMASTER.
The Young Gentleman Touches Our
Postmaster for $500. but MI. Ball
Will Pay It-Ee Took Every
thing in Sight Including
Some Silver Spoons.

They are after Donaldson. Yesterday
Postmaster Ball of Caldwell and his prin-
cipal bondsmen, s. ii. Horner, were in the
city and had long conversation in the
private Office of Postmaster Jewets with
Examiner Cochran of the postoftics depart
ment and detective. with reference to the
robbery OF the postoffice at Caldwell Sun
day night.
Postmaster Ball is just getting over a
severe fit of sickness and he naturally
feels respondent over the turn of affairs.
''Yes," said he. Donaldson my assist
ant is evidently the guilty party, and we
must try and get him and bring him
back"
.'Were you secured by bond:"
"No. knew Walter Donaldson so long
that did not think it necessary for him
to execute bond to me for his honesty.
Neither I nor ybody else ever thought of
the possibility of him tureins out to be a
thief; such thing did not enter into my
mind for moment"
'..How much did he get away with."'

but think it will amount to not less than
5000"
"Was it all postoffice money!
"No. The most of it was, however. In
addition to the postoffice funds he took
over 500 that belonged to a lodge of which
was treasurer, and he also stole some
sixty or seventy dollars that he
longed to my son. The fact is, he
took every thing he got his hands on. He

That was the expression of every lawyer
who attended yesterdays session of the

AT $50 he commenced his argument in
favor of the contestee, and did not finish
till nearly O'Clock in the afternoon.
A good audience WAS present and the
judges AS well as the spectators followed
the line of argument with more than
usual interest.
Colonel Hallowell laid strong emphases
on three points particularly. They were:
First-The question of recognition.
Second-The matter Of the Second pre-
cinct of the Sixth ward.
Third-The legality of an election where
a majority of the voters were disfran-
chised.
Colonel Haliowell asserted that the rec
ognition Of the district as it stood at the
time of the recent election, and as
it has existed during the past eieh,

bic for that also. He came very near
| getting away with 500 or 5000 more that
belonged to the store which we run in con-
nection with the Office. Until Saturday
the young man that runs the store kept
this amount of money in the postoffice
safe, but something prompted him that
day to put it in the bank, and he
did so. Saturday night Donaldson
said to him: Say, what's become of
thaC roll you had in ;be safes' and the
| young man told him he had banked it,
| His answer rather surprised Donaldson,
but no notice was taken of the matter
then. 1t is evident that Donaldson wanted

81 am satisfied that he never ommenced
| till after the 10Th, when / took down sick
| About that time he made out his monthly
| report, showing about 5000 to transmit to

ready to send to Washington, but about

instead of sending the report he threw it
in an empty letter box, where it was
! found after he left. He also left the re-
ceipts all in shape, and destroyed no evil
dence of his guilt. He had been with me
three years. aud | never knew anything

had it, and net be uneasy"
Harvey Horner lost some jewellery and
| souvenir spoons in the robbery. They
were sent to him from Wichita for New
Years present but they never got farther
than Donaldson's hands. He evidently
converted them into money or made "a
present of them to somebody.
| The belief is that he had confederate
in the robbery. This conclusion is arrived
at from the fact that Donaldson left Cald-
