Friday last a man of about 30 year

Friday last man of about % years
of age, hailing from Centerville, Iowa,
called at the Office OF Judge O'Brien, and
wanted a warrant for the arrest of one
Reno, who recently was here with q
trained dog show, charging said Reno
with having, during the absence Of COM
plainant. enticed away his better half for
immoral purposes. He claimed to have
traced them from one town to another
as far as this city, where they put up at
one OF our hotels and, as complainant
says, roomed together. From here he
traced the outfit a. far as Cedar Rapids.
He wanted warrant and wanted it bad.
The Judge informed him that officers
here would be rather reluctant in going
of on q wild-goose chase, unless expen.
ses we're paid or guaranteed, and as com
plainant had no money, he concluded he
would follow mp Reno and the faithlese
woman as best he could. We did not
learn the strangers name. He was
dressed in once respectable black suit
which looked as though some one had
jerked him around in q lively manner
the collar OF his coat and sleeve of the
same being torn. He claimed that hif
absconding wife left her baby behind hel
at Ceutefville with strangers.

The petition Of Segelke, Jaeggi, Mrs.
Stauffer and about fifty others for a
street light ut the intersection Of F and
Eleventh streets was read and after quite
a bit of discussion as to the state Of city
finances Just now, on motion further
action was deferred until full council
was present. The petition alleged that
light was very badly needed for these
reasons, among many others: it is within
a block and half OF the railroad track,
the pathway of tramps, and that part Of
the city is so far away from the electric
lights that it is dark and dangerous. 1t
is only about a year ago that a citizen
was held up and robbed in this neigh
borhood. The discussion was engaged in
by Welch, Galley, Oehlrich and the
Mayor. Several considerations were
broached: the state Of the finances; each
light costs the city 800 year; the city
now has IA lights costing 81, 400; if resi-
dence portions of the city are to be
lighted, there will be q demand from
other portions should this petition be
granted; could any other light be moved
without detriment? Several were men,
toned at this stage Of the discussion,
and the subject laid over.

The following comes as news from
Omaha: "The preliminary examination
OF James Hermansen, the barkeeper
charged with manslaughter in connec-
tion with the killing OF John Starostka,
Monday, December 30, was set for hear
ing on the 18th and again continued
until the 18th. Mrs. Mary Starostka,
the wife OF the slain man, accompanied
by her four children, ranging in age from
5 years to II, was present to listen to the
proceedings. Mrs. Starostka is without
means Of support and is likely to be
thrown out of her house for non-payment
Of rent. Her only source Of supply to
keep the four little children from starv-
ing is derived from the county. Three
of the children are unable to attend
school for lack Of proper clothing. Their
shoes are soleless aud their garments
hardly fulfill the requirements of the
law to protect their forms from naked
ness. Mrs. Starostka said she had son
aged 20 years in Chicago who, if he were
here, could aid her in providing for her
family. Starostka came to Omaha SIX
years ago from Columbus, Nebraska.
Mrs. Starostka resides on Seventh street
