Sound Money scnndinnyion,

Despite the fact that several hundred
railroad men, among whom we're many
Scandinavian voters, went to Des Mones
yesterday afternoon. there was large num-
Der present at the tent meeting on the
corner OF Seventeenth avenue and Tenth
street last night to hear Hon. Nels Gron
OF Boston Mr.. Gron is a polished speaker
and handled the sound money question in
a manner that was convincing TO his conn
trymen. A large portion OF the speech was
delivered in the Scandinavian language. but
portion of II was given in good vigorous
English, for the benefit OF a number OF the
free silverites, who came to the meeting
with the intention OF breaking it up. The
disturbance at one time threatened 10 be
serious but the Bryanites finally concluded
that 1t was not safe to carry out the pro-

FARMER FALLS AMONG THIEVES.
Thomas French Bentcn and Robbed
on His Way Home.


A farmer named Thomas French has sup
piled the local officers with the details OF
an old and successful holdup which oc-
CURED near the Morley school house on the
Crescent City road, north OF town. on Thurs
day night.
French is prosperous farmer who lives
near Loveland. During the week he made
large shipment OF grain to this city, and
on the day mentioned came to town in his
wagon to draw his money. When this was
effected French purchased a large quantity
OF groceries and started home shortly be-
fore dark. 1t was quite dark when he APP
preached the school house, and when two
men appeared in the road ahead OF him
and ordered him to throw up his hands
and deliver up his money he was unable to
see their faces. French made an effort
to escape, but the highwaymen seized his
horses bit and prevented II. He made a
hard fight to protect his money, and only
ceased fighting when he was beaten into in
sensibility and dragged from his wagon.
The thugs went through his pockets and
secured all his money. They then carried
him to a pile of brush by the roadside and
threw him into it. Returning to his wagon
| they removed all his groceries and placed
them in wagon OF their own. and after
whipping up French's team and sending 1t
in the direction of home. they drove their
own vehicle in an opposite direction.
Frenchs team reached home during the
night. The absence of the driver and the
empty wagon at once created apprehension
In the minds OF his friends. Search for
him was not commenced until morning. He
was found near the scene of the robbery
covered with blood and suffering severely
from exposure, French was utterly unable
TO give a description OF the men who
robbed him. and the officers have no clew
to work upon beyond the fact that the men
drove away from the place in direction
that would indicate that they returned to
Council Buffs.
French does not recollect having displayed
his money very conspicuously, and this,
coupled with the fact that all OF his gro
ceries were taken, strengthens the belief
that the attack had been planned in ad-
vance by some one who knew the man was
coming to town to get his money.

LORD FITZGERALD IN JAIL
Mrs. saokett's Titled Husband Locked Up as
Common Malefactor,
CHARGE OF SwINDLlNG AGAINST HIN
Young Man Who Has Bccn Having n
Real Good Time Finally Comes
to Grief and Probable
punishment.

Lord" Edward Fitzgerald, the gentleman
OF doubtful antecedents, who married Mrs.
f. A. sackett on the 2Sth OF September, is
occupying Il steel bunk in the county jail
Fitzgerald was arrested yesterday after
noon upon warrant issued from the court
OF Justice Cook, chai glng him win having
obtained gum OF money under false pre-
lenses from Harry Sackett, son OF his wife.
The amount was only $40, but 1t is enough
to make a case OF felony against the Irish
gentleman. Council BLUFFS officers were
given tip yesterday that Fitzgerald could
be found at certain address in Omaha.
The tip was used and the man was found
and placed under arrest. When he learned
that the officers we're after him. he became
suddenly sick and took to his bed. Physi-
clans were called In and his condition found
to be such that carriage ride to the county
Jail on this side OF the river would not be
dangerous to him. An emissary from the
sherlf's Office was present with closed
carriage and the man was taken out OF
Omaha before he fully realized that he was
about to be called to account for some OF
his misdceds.
After he was locked up In a cell he broke
down completely and repudiated all OF the
sensational stories that have been sent
abroad about his royal origin. In an inter-
view ne declared tnat all tHe slOTltS duOut
his titles and estates had originated in the
mind OF his new wife. The Fitzgerald dia-
monds had also been called into existence
in the same manner. To the reporters he
declared that he was only plain lrishman
who had been on protracted spree, and
while he was too drunk to know what he was
doing permitted himself to be married to his
landlady. He also admitted that he had
greatly wronged her by inducing her to
believe his yarns about his Irish estate and
selling of her furniture. He protested to
be truly pen!tent, and did not seem to
think his situation had any other unpleasant
features than his undesirable union with a
woman whom he could not love and whom
be was positive did not love him now, how
ever holly and fondly she once professed her
love-
Lord" Fitzgerald has career in this city
which was not dc;eloped until he was
brought over yesterday afternoon. He named
a number OF prominent citizens whom he
claimed he knew. They were seen and when
told that he had one time posed as Maurice
Tyrone, lecturer, poet and recitationist he
was promptly recalled. He came here in
January last, and after trying in vain to
interest a number of organizations in his
ability to draw tears from stones he ar
ranged for a Shakespearean recital at
Hughes hall, for January 2S. Here he had

she was determined to prosecute him and
that she would teach him a lesson. The
