THE BLADDER BOYS
A Number Of Arrests Made for Using the
Windy Missiles

Early last evening the police started
crusade upon the hoodlum element
in the masked crowd, and soon had
number of bladder wielders and others
in the lock-up. From Los Angeles street
j. c. Virgins and George Williams were
brought in, and from Second street S.
V. Martin
But on Spring street in the thick of the
crowd was where the greater number
came from. James Ham, William White,
William Edwards. H. w. Leach, James
McCune and F. G. Butler were success
eively brought in for conduct unbecom-
Ing the spirit of the evening.
James Brown and f. l.. Hendricks
came to grief for grabbing ladies' who
were passing. pulling their hair and
otherwise handling them. They put up
SO bail each and were allowed to go.
One party who was arrested was armed
with one of the largest bladders to be
found. 1t was of elephantine size and a
strong blow from it would easily floor
the party struck, although with no seri-
Gus consequences to the victim In the
clerks room at the police station are
enough bladders to start small sau-
sage factory with one of the necessary
parts of that toothsome delicacy.

Powers and Howard

Many people in Lincoln will remem-
Der Judge Powers, who is spoken OF
in a Chicago paper as follows, as one
of the leading lawyers in the Irvine
divorce case.
One of the prominent delegates Is
Orlando w. Powers of Utah, who has
been pictured, interviewed and hand
shaken with great volubility and aban-
don since his arrival few days ago.
Judge Powers is a character, and the
name of the thing he characterizes is
politics. That ie his meat and drink
and the fact that he Is a very thin man
who looks as though one Of his lungs
might be lame. should not be taken
as an indication that his meat and
drink do not agree with him. To Powers
q ward caucus is a feast and county
convention is a great banquet OF good
things. Powers, who is now opposing
with all his strength the money policy
of Grover Cleveland, was appointed
by that same Cleveland as a federal
Judge for the territory of Utah about
ten years ago. He left his Michigan
home and went out to the land Of the
latter-day saints to take possession Of
the job. but a low-lived and ignorant
senate did not gather the full value OF
the judges services and so refused to
clinch the nomination. Powers was

drive him away, even had they been
SO disposed, which they were not He
opened a law ofiice and very shortly
became the leading member Of the bar
Of the territory. But his heart was in
politics, and, although he had hardly
become acciimated to the Utah irriga-
ton bitches and gravelly valleys he
became affected with the thirst for re-
form and took the leadership of a
newly organized anti-mormon party.
which, under the name OF the ''liber-
ais" set in to clean out the mormon
sovereignty. Powers revealed himself
as a politician of the result getting
order, and after a campaign o; un-
paralleled ferocity he had the pleasure
of seeing the whole liberal tickle
elected, from Mayor Scott down to the
bottom man. 1t nearly killed the old
mormons Of Salt Lake. who had de-
nominated Powers and his followers
as "carpetbaggers.' but il immensely
pleased the gentle residents, and they
dubbed together and gave the clever
attorney and central-committee chair
man an outright present Of $4,000.
Powers was afterward known as the
$50. 600 beauty Of the Wahsatch." The
name Of carpetbaGger was quietly and
cheerfully accepted by the mormon

being blacked, yelled a lusty enough"
and on being released from his recum-
bent position cordially thanked his
conQueror.

don't know what good We done me. In
Indiany / was a pretty brisk man and
whopped most everybody in the county
/ allowed when 1 moved out here I'd
do the same thing, but thought it'd
be better to try the kind of people
they is here. Ye say We can't rassle
an We kin only fight some, an yit We
pound me all over the place. Cord
ingly 1 calculate that the people that
is here an that kin an kin fight

my kind of fightin'. had expected to

information. These here black eyes'll

The Indiana acquisition is one of the
most pacific residents in Sarpy county
and is one Of Towards strongest sup
porters, and predicts that he will some
day be president Of the United States

tunity and learns to "rassle."

fighter, and he caused an enormous
triumphal pole to be erected on a pro-
minent corner of the city, and on the
top of this pole was placed a gilded
representation of a carpetbga, which
forever afterward tainted the bishops
and seventies and other mormon folk.
If the long man and the short man
were to rob Judge Powers they would
find as the thing which he values
greatest a golden carpetbag with
diamond setting, which was given him
for a watch charm, and which he de-
lights to show as a product of Utah
mines. The judge is pretty smooth
product himself, and his share in the
present convention is going to be
great He has already been accepted
by the various high priests of silvre
as man whose help is more than
worth asking for.
Among the delegates now in the city
is Edgar Howard, a young man with
Roman face full Of sweet peace and
benignity, who runs a paper in Papil-
lion. Nebraska. Mr. Howard has been
in politics for only a few years, but he
has learned many things in that time.
He was once q candidate for the legis-
lature, and in making his rounds
struck a family of refugees from Indi-
ana WIZ UdQ tdkeH up d TcSiucuCc III

ard made himself agreeable and was
invited to supper, and the squatter put
up a pretty fair meal.
AS Mr. Howard was preparing to
leave the Indianan said to him:

itician.
The other looked troubled. That's

Howard demonstrated 1t was no
part of his politics to fight every voter
on the bottoms. He begged to be ex-
cused. The other was obdurate, how
ever, and, attacking Howard, the as
pirant for Office could do no less than
pitch in and defend himself. He

The girl took a seat on the far side
of the room, and for ten minutes not a
word was spoken between them. Then
she finally queried:
"How's bars, Joe?'
he replied.
There was another painful interval,
and then Sue asked:
"How's coons, Joe?"
'COons is plenty" he replied, as he
avoided her glance.
That's the way it goesw whispered
the mother. They jist sot and sot,
and talk bout bars and coons and
SIGH, and / do declar' I'm gittin' all

Five minutes later, just as the young
man seemed on the point of leaving,

at his boots.

work and rose up.
What are you going to do?" asked.

She walked out into the kitchen and
stood before the young man and stern

"Joe skillman, did yo' dun cum over

An hour later, when Joe went home,
Sue called her mother out and held a
whispered conversation with her, and
when Mrs. CoOts returned to me she
smiled grimly and explained:
