GAVE BACK tue sILyERwARE.
Police Unable to Fasten Any Crime
Upon Harhaugh.

The detective bureau last night returned
The silverware taken from the alleged fence
or Joseph Harb3ugh 10y a raidiBg squad
several days ago. The department has
been unable 10 make out u case against
Harbaugh as none OF the stuff recovered
from his place could be identified
Hundreds of people have called at the of
flee and looked over the various articles,
but no one was able 10 prove property.
1t was therefore thought best TO return it
10 Harbaugh. when this stuff was taken
from the suspected man he made the claim
that although il was stolen the crime had
been committed many years ago and he had
served tine in the District jail.
Tie rightful ownership OF the property
was never determined. The curious thing
about this SilyCrware is that il has been
taken by the police department twice, and
although the officers are morally sure it
was stolen. yet they have never been able
10 find an owner.

HORTON ANGRY.
Expresses Himself Very ForcibIy to
the Managers OF the Democratic
Campaign


WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Secretary
Morton has expressed himself in very
forcfble terms to the managers of the
Democratic campaign. The difficulty
arose out of the alleged issue of bull
letin from Democratic headquarters
charging the secretary with permitting
the employment of his employees dur
ing offics hours in addressing gold
stardard campaign circulars and send
infs.sshaSrn out under the frank of Sena-
tor Eaffery, OF Louisiana. This state
mer4 being shown 10 Secretary Morton,
he denounced the author of il as a
wiliNl liar. Then speaking of what he
ealitn Bryan Democrats" he added:
.HIfse finance which they teach is en-
tiveiya confederate fat. In the southern
contedcracy, the same leaders who now
are in command of the picket guards
for free silver at is to !, were leading
financiers. And Harris, Pugh, Morgan
and the other confederate generals,
now liz commend OF the Bryan cam
paign. seem TO desire to accomplish by
false finance that which they failed to
bring about by unconstitutional dishonor
and disgrace"
Secretary Morton further produced
the following letter which he said had
been addressed to all the postmasters
in Nebraska:
Omaha, Sept. Is, 1896.
Dear Strive address this letter to
you, knowing that you are one OF the
leading Democrats of Jour county, and
believing you have the success of our
party at heart. and desire to aid the
election of Bryan and Sewall. In order
to overcome the normal Republican
majority in this state, the committee
must have funds with which to perfect
a thorough organization. We can ex-
pect ~ aid from the national commit
tee and have no funds in hand now
with which to begin work. We urge
yoa to make an earnest effort among
your friends to raise the sum OF 500,
TO be used by the committee in defray-
ing the necessary expenses of the cam
psign. If you cannot raise this sum at
once win you not guarantee the COM
mittee that the Democrats of your
vicinity viii contribute the amount re-
CURED by the 10th of October? This
committee has no enemies to punish
and viii appreciate and gratefully re-
member the kind assistance of those
Democrats who come to aid our party
in its hour of need. Our success in
the nation is assured. Let us see that
we do our part TO carry Nebraska by
a large majority. Do not fail to write
us at once Yours truly,

ExToRTIoN BY THREATS.
CLEVER WAY BY WHICH a NEWS
PAPER MAN MADE MONEY.
Justice at Last oyertakes Him,
However, and He Goes to the
County Jail in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct 15.-J. II. Cummings,
young man who claims to be a San Fran
cisco newspaper reporter. was placed on
trial before Judge Clifford this morning
to answer IN an ineictn1ep+ nhar~'ng e~-
tortion by threatsg Harry Tillenberg, who
was named a. an associate. of CuIulnl Ils5S,
was not present. The deputy sheriffs hav
ing failed to locate him
Mrs. julia Barrata, wife of j stock
broker. caused the arrest of Cummings
several months ago, while he was keeping
an engagement with her to secure a sum
of money. One year ago Tillenberg be-
came acquainted with Mrs. Barrata, al
that time julia Adler. He paid her at
tentions for several weeks. when an
estrangenent took place, and the young
woman saw no more of him until last
June.
He then protested his desire to renew
their former friendship, but met with no
success, as the young lady in the mean
time had married Barrata. In August,
Cummings called on Mrs. Barrata with
letter of introduction from Tillenberg.
The husband was away at the time and
the wife granted Cummings an interview
He told his hostess that ne had letters
in his possession which, If made public,
would result N her separation from her
husband She was surprised to find that
Cummings had secured letters written by
her to Tillenberg prior to her marriage,
in October 1895, and had changed the
dates Fearful of the scandal that sh :
imagined would result, she gave so t.
her visitor for his silence. Instead OF
getting the dreaded letter, she only was
given portion of it, This portion was
Just one-ffth OF the letter. Cummings
made four more trips, each time securing
$40 for the piece of paper. When the
whole of the letter had been purchased
she imagined that she had seen the last
of Cummings.
Her hopes were false, however, as he
appeared with another document. She
then took her husband into her confidence
and arranged for the arrest of Cum
mings.
The defense was that Cummings was
private detective engaged by Mrs. Bar
rata on family case, and that on learn
ing that he was an acquaintance of TIL
lenberg, she offered him $50 compensation
If he would get two letters in her former
sweetheart's possession.
Tillenberg is said to be well connected
in Chicago.
Mrs Barrata was not in court. Cum
mings entered a plea of guilty. Judge
Clifford heard the evidence and sentenced
him tn ten davs in the county jail.
