AT SANTA MONICA
Some of the Silly Stories Afloat-Gen-
eral Gloom Prevails

| SoA1S "a CAAC Silly oCoIlcS xAAOdC-0cA-
eral Gloom Prevails
At Santa Monica the sensational de-
nouement of the Bradbury scandal is
the general topic Of conversation
among the few visitors at the place. The
unceremonious departure Of the Brad
burys was undoubtedly a severe blow
to the restaurants, livery stables, etc.,
and up to the last moment those who
would be benefited were hopeful that
the affair would be amicably arranged
But this is all past now, and, the gloom
was, If anything, more dense last night
than ever. There are of course numer-
Gus stories afloat, but in the main the
people who ehould know most about
the affair are most reticent, and insist
that up to the time of the elopement
there was nothing to justify the numer-
Gus scandalous reports. The story in
regard to the meeting between Jim
| Winston and Ward is said to be gross
ly exaggerated. AS circulated, the story
was to the effect that Ward was in Bob
Eckert's when Winston sent him word
that he wished to see him. The retort
| courteous was to the effect that if he
wanted to see him he could come inside
and do SO. Winston, 1t was said, ac-
cepted the invitation, and when he met
| Ward began abusing him, intimating
that he would chastise him, or words to
| that effect, and that he was capable of
| doing SO with one hand tied behind him.
| Ward, on the other hand, simply sat
| still, and when the tongue-lashing be-
came too severe, informed Winston that
| he was armed, and that any assault on
him would be dangerous. There was
some further talk about settling the
| matter with weapons. and when the
word was brought to Colonel Bradbury,
it is claimed that that gentleman, who
had temporarily converted himself in
to walking arsenal, placed his artillery
at the disposal of Winston, saying that
he had three revolvers, and that he
would let him have a good one. 1t is
claimed that all the foundation there is
for this story is the meeting of Winston
and Ward on the public street, when the
latter, after some talk, agreed to leave
town.
Another story is to the effect that Mr..
Rhinehardt of the Arcadia hotel was so
indignant when he first heard of the af-
fair that he ordered Ward to at once, re-
move all his effects from the hotel. The
landlord says that there is nothing in
this, for the reason that Ward never
lived at the Arcadia, never had any ef-
fects there, and consequently he could
not have ordered him out of the house.
There are numerous other stories, but
they only affect the public life of the in
terested parties and the manner in which
they conducted themselves at the va
rious resorts. One thing however, is
certain, and that is that the Santa Mon
leans deeply regret the scandal. which
has deprived them of substantial bene-
fits for the coming season.

A CUPID'S EXPERIENCE
WANTED TO MAKE LOVE TO
THE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
But He Ran Afoul Of q Maiden
Teacher and Came Near Get
ting Into Serious Trouble

| "A short time ago one Of the teachers
Of the high school found a note which
had been thrown over the fence with the
very definite address written upon it:
For the Finder" The teacher broke
open the envelope, which had evidently
been intended for one Of the girl stu
dents, and read the inclosed, Of which
the following is a copy:
"If the lady who happens to find this
wishes to write sensational correspon-
dence with a working young man under
assumed names, for jolly good fun and
other results, just drop a line to yours,
in fun,
ED MILLER, 3s1 North Main street,
city,
The note had been thrown over the
fence into the girls ward. The teacher
who happened to find it was very indig-
nant at the writer and decided to teach
him lesson. Accordingly she sat down
and answered the note under an as
sumed name. She received reply and
quite correspondence was struck up.
Several Of the letters were sent through
the mails and were not of a fit character
for publication.
When 1t was thought that sufficient
evidence had been secured for obtaining
conviction on the ground Of violating
postal regulation this fair amateur de-
tective reported the matter to Prof.
Housh, and he in turn informed the po-
lice department. A trap was set for the
offender, but owing to his alertness he
was not caught.
Officer Miles Long then took up the
case and employed a female detective
to help him in locating the offensive Ed
Miller. The girl soon located him at a
lodging house on North Main street,
where he went by the name of Mueller.
Before the officer could arrest him. how
ever, he had changed his room. Again
the girl was put upon the case and made
daily reports. Miller was again located.
this time at the California club where
he was acting as bellboy By this time
he had acquired two additional aliases
and was known alternately as Pugh and
Hughes This time he was not given
second chance to escape, and the officer
went to the place and calling him by
each of his long fist of aliases, told him
that he was wanted at police headquar-
ters. The young man was taken to the
police station and Prof Housh Informed
of his whereabouts In the meantime he
had decided to let the case drop rather
than bring the matter into notoriety,
and the case fell fiat without an attempt
being made to prosecute it, and Miles
Long is feeling that his efforts after all
have not gone for much unless the young
cupid profits by the lesson.

IN UNITED STATES COURT.
Judge McHugh Prepares to Retire
from the Bench.

pTo" IL INV
Judge McHugh practically closed up his
career as United States district judge yes
terday when he announced decisions In
four cases which had been pending before
him. There is yet one case which he will
decide next Monday. He has issued an Or
der formally d~ischarging the jury which
had been called for this term, although
there has really been no jury since his re-
turn from Lincoln. His next official act will
be to swear in w. H. Munger as judge, and
simultaneously with the elevation of Mr..
Munger to the bench Mr.. McIIugh will be-
come one of the five ex-federal judges now
living in the United States.
In the case of William Wharton, Jr. d
Co. against John ]. Gillihan, involving a
question whether a man receiving $3.50 a
month as receiver, could have the same
exempt under the laws of the state, Judge
McHugh held afiirmatively.
In tho case of e. S. Ormsby against H. r.
Ottman and others the issue was whether
the state court could satisfy a mortgage in
settlement against a nonresident through
service by publication. Judge McHugh de-
cided that 1t could.
The court overruled a motion for a new
trial in the damage suit of II. r. Vandecar
against the Aetna Life Insurance company.
Vandecar recently received a Judgment
against the company for SIC, 612.5O for the
loss of a hand. He brought suit on an acct
dent policy held in that company.
The city of Plattsmouth made a contract
with a water works company whereby 1t was
to pay $50 a year for hydrants. Later the
city passed an ordinance reducing the price
to $50. Thomas Herbert Pollack, receiver of
the company, brought action for an in
junction to prevent the city from enforcing
the ordinance. The injunction was granted.
w. H.. Munger, who is to be the new
Judge was present in the court room during
the session yesterday, and met a few OF
| the local attorneys after adjournment. He
| said that If nothing happened he would be
| here Monday morning in time to take the
oath Of his office at 10 o'clock. When asked
IL he contemplated moving to Omaha, Mr..
| Munger said he had not yet given that sub
ject much thought. He said he owned his
| home in Fremont, and would not hasten to
| move to this city till the business OF his
position made 1t almost necessary for him
| to do so. AS to the clerkship he said: Il
| have not decided upon any change, and will
| not till the embarrassments of my new posi-
| ton entirely wear away. Then / shall decide
| whether l will make a change. l am not
embarrassed. however, by lack OF material
from which to make a selection
Mr.. Munger returned to m this
afternoon.

Court Orders nm Offending Attorney
to Jail,


Under an order issued by Judge Scott yes
terday Attorney David Van Etten will spend
thirty days in the county Jail for contempt
Of court. Van Etten was debarTed from
practicing in Judge Scott's court about two
weeks ago, but yesterday he was on
hand and when Attorney Crofoot asked for
an order in the case which was under con-
sideration at the time Van Etten was sus-
pended the latter attempted to make an
rgument against the order asked by Cro-
foot. At first the court paid no attention to
Van Etten, but the latter persisted In taking
part In the proceedings and the judge ordered
him to sit down. Van Etten paid no atten-
ton to the order OF the court and the in
junction to sit down was repeated several
times with no apparent effect on Van Etten.
Turning to his docket, Judge Scott pro-
ceeded to make a lengthy entry. Van Etten In
the meantime continuing to talk. When the
entry was completed the Judge read from
his entry as follows: THE defendant is
committed to Jail for thirty days" Con-
tinuing the court sent for the sheriff, but
before the officer arrived Van Etten left
The court room unmolested. When Deputy
Sheriff. Grebe reached the room Judge Scott
said he would make out an order OF COM
mitment and send 1t over to the clerk OF the
court and the matter was allowed to stand
In this way. At the hour Of adjournment no
order OF commitment had been made and
Van Etten was still at liberty.

Discussion of the south Dakota Sem
ntOrinI Fight.
Judge A. j.. Plowman OF Deadwood ar
rived in the city yesterday morning from
Pierre, S. D., where he was the leading popu-
list candidate for United States senator
until Kyle was reelected by the aid of re-
publican votes. He will stop over in Omaha
for several days, resting up before returning
home. He is accompanied by Mrs. Plowman.
Speaking OF the unexpected election OF
Kyle, Judge Plowman said: at will solidify
the populist party in South Dakota. There
were only nine populists who voted for him.
These nine, with four democrats and fifty
two republicans, were enough to accomplish
the election. After the election the populists
held a meeting in which they repudiated
the senator, and there was the utmost har-
mony among them"
Judge Plowman thought the chances were
good for the legislature Of his state passing
a joint resolution providing for a constitu-
tional amendment, changing the seat OF
government. He thought the governor would
sign II, and that it would be submitted to
a vote of the people of the state at the next
general election.
