Mrs. Swift of Lincoln Seeks m In
hcritancc I'm Denver.

DENVER, Dec. 27.-(Special Telegram.)-
Mrs. Elfreda G. Swift is suing in the United
States court fer the recovery of valuable
property on Welton street, between Seven
teenth and Eighteenth, from Joseph II,
Smith, Mrs. Joseph II. Smith, Charles B
Kountze and Mitchell Harrison.
She relates the story of a defrauded or
phan, and a careless administrator. Mrs.
Swift, who resides in Lincoln, Neb., was the
sole heir-at-law of her father, James H.. Rus
sell. After his wife's death, buried in grief,
Mr.. Russell placed his infant daughter at
school in New Jersey and in 1857, came to
Colorado, then a rough western state. He
located at Denver and in 1860 entered at
the United States land office here his claim
to Lots in block 100, East Denver. Eve
years later hs died and John A. Nye was APP
pointed administrator of his estate. Mrs.
Swift in her complaint claims that after
John A. Nye was appointed aGministrato
the probate judge, in August, 1865, having
previously obtained a patent to the above
described real estate in trust for James H.
Russell, then deceased, conveyed in 1864 tn.
property to Nye, as administrator. Pre-
tended conveyances, it is alleged, were mads
to several parties. The property changed
hands from time to time until it passed to
the present owners.
Mrs. Swift asks for the property and an
accounting of all rents and profits, taxes,
etc. If she gains the suit according to her
prayers it will net her anywhere from S35 900
to SAC, 900. The trial is still in progress.

MANY WOUNDED in A A C WAR.
Negroes md HunEnrinns Settle an
Old QMnCreI with DulIcts.

DUNBAR, Pa, Dec. 27.-The Hungarian
and negro employees at the Morrell coal works
had an actual battle last night in which one
Hungarian was fatally wounded, eight other
Hungarian2 seriously injured and six negroes
badly wounded, There has been a feud
Of many months standing between the two
races and yesterday the colored men armed
with Winchestsrs and revolvers attacked the
Hungarian settlement. They began by firing
into a shanty where some Hungarians were
at supper, and shot one man in the back.
The negroes took their station behind a fence
on the township road, while the Hungarians
posted themselves near the company's sheds.
A number of shots were fired, and after the
ammunition was exhausted the fight was con-
tinued in hand-to-hand encounters. Seven of
ths negroes were captured last evening and
landed in the police station.

STRANGE CASE OF A ST. JOE WOMAN.
From nm Position In Society
She SImLks to u EclOm's Col.

From nm IGNORED Position In Society
She Sinks to II Fclon's Cell.
ST. JOSEPH, Dec. 27.-(Special.)-A jury
in the criminal court was unable to decide
whether Mrs. Mary Bailey was guilty or in
nocent of the charge made against her of
stealing a shawl, and she is still in jail to
await a second trial. Since she has been ar
rested more of the omar history has been
learned. She has admitted that she once
killed a man at Edgar, Neb., but says the
killing was in seif-defense. The officers
place little credence in the story. which was
first told by Harry Mckinney, the woman's
son. who is now in the reform school. The
strange man who is believed to BE- Charles
Bailey, the woman's missing husband, has
again disappeared. When Mrs. Bailey heard
he was here looking for her she CEASED her
efforts to give bond and asked to be locked
up in jail, saying the man would kill her
on sight. She says Bailey abandoned her
| several years ago, and after reading in the
Omaha papers an account Of his suicide, she
believed him dead. She did not hear of him
again until she was given a description of
the man who came here TO look for her,
whom she knew at once to be the husband
she had believed to be dead.
Letters found in the woman's house when
it was searched for stolen property bear out
the claim that she was once wealthy. She
was the village belle and an heiress at Man
chaster, Ia, where she married William Nc
Kinney. She says she had never known a
care up to the time her husband met death
in a railroad accident. The boy born of the
union turned out to be a criminal, however,
and a few days ago was sent to the reform
school. 1t is to him that Mrs. Bailey credits
the theft of the shawl that was found in her
house when it was searched by the police.
The woman says her relatives in Iowa and
Nebraska are among the best and wealthiest
psople in the two states, but she refuses to
appeal to them for aid in her present
trouble, and hopes they may never know
her whereabouts. Mrs. Bailey appears to be
less than 80 years old, and has every appear
ance of refinement. Traces of the beauty
that once made her famous in the society
that knew her are still to be seen in her
face, and her glossy black hair still falls in
natural ringlets about her temples and brow.
She will be tried again at the next term Of
court. -. - 49,. II

Comment of a Denver Editor on the Raker
Case.
DECLARES IT A JUDICIAL OUTRAGE
Calls on the Next Legislature of Ne,
brnskn to Impench One Who
Brings Disgrace ON the
Bench.

DENVER, Dec. 27.-(Special Tslegram.)c
Under the caption Of mot a Judge" the
Rocky Mountain News will print the follow
Ing tomorrow morning:
Judge Scott of the Omaha district court
In Nebraska Is not an ornament to the
judiciary of that state, and some means
ought to be found to suppress him. A year
or more ago he rendered himsel notorious
by contempt proceedings against Editor Rose
water of The Omaha Bee. He is now
charged in press kilograms with the COM
mission Of an act which has no precedent in
the judicial history of the country.
at appears that enc Job Babbitt, foreman
of a grand jury in Judge Scott's court, in
June last, visited the prescribed district Of
the city and violated all rules of decency
and good citizenship in company with the
courtesans and other people who frequent
those localities. The facts in the case were
printed by Editor Raker of the Gretna Re
porter. He was arrested for libel and
brought to trial outside of his county-itself
a violation of the constitution and the law
in Judge Scott's court. The law further pre-
scribes that there can be no criminal libel
when the facts are proven, and Editor Raker
fully substantiated his statements, but Judge
Scott so instructed the jury that it was COM
PEELED to convict, and a sentence promptly
followed. The supreme court at once in
terfered and suspended the sentence in
definitely.
"a more fragrant or outrageous usurpation
of judicial authority has never occurred in
this country. The first duty of the next
Nebraska legislature should be to impeach
this mar who wears the judicial ermine of
his state. When a judge can lock up an
editor for telling the truth and proving the
truth in open court it is time to inquire
whether or not the press is really free in
this country"

Missouri Girl who ElOpcd with an
InNtnn TAl<cn Homo.

Dbh
ST. JOSEPH, Dec. 27.-(Special.)-Miss
Inez Newman, the girl who ran away from
her home at Albany, Mo-, with an Indian,
has been taken back by her brothers, and
there will be no wedding unless the girl and
her Indian lover succeed in clipping again.
The young woman is refined and educated,
and her infatuatlon for the Indian remains
unexplained. Ilvioe Dicks, the Indian who
eloped with Miss Newman, says his home is
in Michigan, and that he has been travelling
about the country for several months. He
is a brawny specimen Of the red man, his
high cheek bones and coarse black hair being
civilized, there being feathers in his hat
supposed that these attractions assisted him
in the capture of Miss Newman's heart and
affections. Their acquaintance extended over
the short period of two weeks before they
eloped. The Interference of the police when
they reached this city prevented them from
becoming man and wife. When the angry
brothers of the young woman arrived, the
Indian discreetly disappeared. He was found
later, however, and taken back to Albany
by the sheriff of Gentry county, who accom-
panied Miss Newman's brothers.
Miss Newman is 20 years old, and had
never seen an Indian until she set eyes on
Ilvioe Dicks. When he went to Albany a
few weeks ago, he was drifting about the
country in search of nothing in particular.
He stopped at Albany and in some way be-
came acquainted with Miss Newman, who is
the daughter of a farmer living near the
village. Before her parents knew of the at
tachment she had eloped with the red man.

informed on high authority tonight that
General Campos will return to the field to-
morrow.
This correspondent during a long service
for the World in Cuba, has refrained from
expressing for publication personal opinions
regarding affairs here, but he can confidently
assert on the present occasion that-basing
his judgment on careful investigation and
singular opportunities for obtaining expe-
rience-the retirement Of Martinez Campos
would have been a blow to civilization and
common humanity.
Omaha daily bee., 1895-12-28

Of the insurgents here is not at all unlikely.
Everybody seems to be in a state OF great
nervous excitement and there are not a few
people who are asking themselves how 1t
Is possible that Campos Is now in Havana
II the insurgents are in retreat and If the
city is threatened. why it Is he does not go
cut to meet the enemy. The authorities are
not blind b. thu fact that there is a strong
element among the younger male population
Of this city which is in strong sympathy
with the insurgents and, in case of serious
trouble with the Insurgents outside the city,
II to an open question whether the fire de-
partment and the bulk of the civil guards
and volunteers here could be counted upon
for any length Of time.
FEAR AN UPRISING IN HAVANA.
The triumphant march of the insurgents
sc. ms t. have great effect upon the populace,
aud those who three weeks ago laughed at
the idea OF the insurrection ever amounting
to any more than an uprising Of the dis
affected portion Of the population are now
anxious.y looking for news from the front
and are extremely apprehensive of hearing
within a short time that the advance guard
Of the insurgents has been sighted from the
outer works of the city Of Havana. The
! merchants of this city, while still loyalty
supporting the government, are beginning to
be very nervous and look forward with a
great deal of alarm to the prospect OF an up
rising here and the entry of the insurgents
intc Havana, which it is claimed. is certain
to be the signal for wholesale lcoting and
other serious disorder. In the face OF all
these warning rumors and expressed fears,
the government authorities insist that there
Is absolutely no danger that the insurgents
will ever get any distance beyond Matanzas,
and they continue laughing at the mere
mention OF the idea that Gomez can get within
sight of Havana. They insist that he and
his forces are in retreat and that the chances
against the insurgents being able to get
back into the province of Santa Clara are
very slim indeed.

HIS NATURALIZATION INVALID.
Judge Morrow Holds Cinnamon Cam
not DccOme C%itiNenA.

san FRANCISCO, Dec. 27.-Judge Morrow
rendered an important opinion in the United
States district court today on the writ Of
habeas corpus asked for by Gee Hoop, a
Chinaman, who arrived from Picking three
months ago and was refused permission to
land, although he had papers showing that
he had been naturalized by a New Jersey
court. Commissioners Peacock. who took
evidence In the case, recommended that Gee
Hoop be remanded FOR the. reason that there
was no law comforting the right cf naturall-
zation upon Mongolians or natives of China;
that tho judgment OF the court OF common
pleas OF New Jersey naturalizing Gee Hoop
was absolutely null and weld for want of
jurisdiction, and that, therefore, Gee Hoop
was and Is not a citizen Of the United States,
az claimed by him, and cannot BE- permitted
to land in this country"
'In this conclusion" Judge Morrow said,
II heartily agree. The matter of naturaliza-
tion Is exclusively within the control of the
government OF the United States and not of
the states"
