DROPS THE CASE.
Rafferty, VIII Not Be Prosecuted for
kidnapping.

Willie Bohms, the nine-year-old boy
Kidnapped in the vicinity of Fourth
and Pine streets, Tuesday morning,
who was later found in Minneapolis
by Detective Campbell was yesterday,
by order of County Attorney Anderson,
returned to the care Of Mr. and Mrs.
William Meter, with whom he was
left by his mother eighteen months
ago. John Gruye, at whose house in
Minneapolis the boy was found, was
allowed his liberty The warrant charg-
ing kidnapping, issued by the county
attorney, was for the arrest Of John
Rafferty,, Gruye's father-in-law, but it
is stated that there will be no prose-
cution under the document, now that
the boy has been found. The little
fellow gives a good description of the
man who spirited him away in the
sleigh and this in no way corresponds
to Gruye or Rafferty,, and while these
persons may have been indirectly con-
cerned in the affair it is certain that
the driver of the sleigh was neither
of them. County Attorney Anderson
stated that Mrs. BOhns was undoubt-
edly entitled to the possession of her
child, but that the only real manner Of
settling the case was by writ of habeas
corpus.

DECLARED HIMSELF A TERROR,
But That Didn't Prevent Bat Carr's
BEING Arrested.

When Bat" Carr created disturb
ance at Seventh and Wabasha streets
Tuesday night and Officers Carroll and
Morse attempted to subdue his riCtous
spirit with kindly advice, Carr declared
himself in a mood to anihilate any
thing that ever wore blue cloth and
brass buttons. He didn't care how
many policemen he thrashed at a time,
he said, the more the meErier. There
was no doubt about Carr being a bad
man, because he said he was himself.
He appeared somewhat astonished that
Officers Morse and Carroll did not
send in a riot call when he thus de-
clared himself, but his establishment
was more complete a few moments
later when he found himself at the CEN
trail station on the charge of drunken
ness and disorderly conduct He still
insisted that he was a holy terror
and at this stage his claims were more
consistent. as his resistance of the OF
ficers had left him IN a somewhat
disheveled condition. In the municipal
court yesterday Carr was sentenced to
the workhouse for ten days.

Respectfully yours,
VETOED9BY LEEDY.
Governor of Kansas Turns Down the
Railroad Bill.

TOPEKA, Kas4 March 9-Gov. Lee
dy vetoed the railroad bill in a lengthy
message of about 1000 words. In his
message, Gov. Leedy names the follow
ing six objections to the railroad meas
ure, which which had passed both
houses:
First-The bill suggests no way by which
an aggrieved shipper can secure practical re-
lief.
Second-The penalties named are so hedged
about that they will neither compel obedi-
ence to the terms of the law nor enfoce sub
lection to the orders of the commission.
Thirdly its terms the bill makes of the
railway commission a mere justice of the
peace court from which ltigants pass to the
district court, to begin anew the trial of
their cause, but fails to give to this tribunal
even the power to compel attendance and to
enforce it's decree with which that less au-
gust functionary Is gifted.
Fourth-Offering the shipper no defenslble
advantage that is not his under the present
legislation, and securing to him no means Of
redress that is not his already by virtue Of
the ancient principles of the common law
this bill actually circumscribes the rights
that he would have under the common law
Fifth-The bill itself offers opportunity and
suggestion for such an indefinite array Of
technical legal complications that 1t is diff
ficult to see how anything can be definitely
accomplished under its provisions.
Sixth-An attempt on the part Of the rail-
way commission to go into court and enforce
there their recommendation would involve the
expenditure of large sums of money, for
which this legislature has made no apprOpri-
alton and without which the bill would be
wholly Intellectual, leaving the commissioners
with neither power to give effect to their
opinions nor to have them heard in court of
Justice which can enforce its DEGREES.
Gov. Leedy's veto ON the railroad bill was
not delivered to the legislature till 2 o'clock
today. and the concluding page was given
out to the press only shortly before the hour.
The impression prevails now that the gov
ernor will probably call special session to
consider railroad Legislation. This gained
currency because the present bill cannot be
passed over his veto, isand because regular
time Of the session is already gone.

VILL WE'D No MORE
STOP WILL BE PUT TO MRS.
SCHMELZER'S MATRIMONIAL
VENTURES,
AT LEAST FOR SOME TIME.
CONVICTED BY JURY ON THE
CHARGE OF ABUSING HER
STEPDAUGHTER.
SHE WAS MARRIED SEVEN TIMES,
But She Says Once Didn't Count, for
She Married the Same Man
Twice.

Mrs. Henrietta Schneider was con-
Victed yesterday of assault upon the
person of Lizzie Schneider, her step
daughter The jury remained out
about seven minutes. Immediately af-
ter the announcement of the verdict,
Judge Kelly, at the request Of Attorney
McGhee, Mrs. Schmelzer's attorney
consented to defer sentence until next
Tuesday forenoon. Mrs. Schneider was
thereupon conducted back to the county
jail. AS she was leaving the court
room she bemoaned her hard luck in
the German language and made some
uncomplimentary remarks about the
jury.
AS a witness in her own defense, Mrs.
Schneider made the mistake of at
tempting to swear away a record Of
the district court. While on the sand
in the forenoon Mrs. Schneider swOre
that she had been married only four
times. She also declared under oath
that she had never been an inmate of
the state prison at Saltwater.
In the afternoon County Attorney An
derson produced the record of the dis
trict court for the month of June, 1888,
from which 1t appeared that Mrs
Schneider had on the 22d of that month
pleaded guilty of the crime of polyg-
amy and had been sentenced to two
years Imprisonment in the state prison
at Saltwater at hard labor. She &C
tually served eighteen months in the
institution.
The county attorney also freshened
Mrs. SchmelZer's memory as to the
number of men she had married from
time to time. Instead of four Mrs
EchmelZer was able to recall the names
Of six different gentlemen whose
names she had borne. AS matter of
fact, she said she had been married
seven times, but in two instances she
had married the same man. She was
indicted for polygamy in 1883, under
the various names of Henrietta LOos,
alias Schwartz, alias Steege.
The offense of which Mrs. Schneider
has been found guilty is declared by
law to be a felony. No definite term
Of Imprisonment is specifically provid-
ed, but under a general section Of the
penal code, a felony for which no speci-
fie punishment is specified is punish
able by Imprisonment in the state
prison or county jail, for not more than
seven years, or by fine not exceeding
$1,000, or by both. The minimum pen
atty is left entirely to the discretion Of
the court. ..-----.

cover the excess amounts inadvertently bid
