ClLLETT CATTLE IN OMAHA
Bunch Of Moitgaged Stock Found At the
Union Stock Yards.
SHIPPED BY THE ABscoNDER's SECRETARY
,. c. Bohart Commission Company Of
Chicago Gets In just In Time
to Protect It's Interest In
the Steers.

One Of the peculiar methods Of Gillett,
che Kansas cattle king, who recently col
lapsed with a lot OF paper he could not
meet and is said to have fed to Old Mexico,
came to the surface In a case in the dis
trict court here yesterday afternoon.
lot OF steers numbering altogether $50,
had been shipped by John c. Morton, Gill
let's secretary. to Clay, Robinson & Co. at
South Omaha, upon which an attachment
was levied for three mortgages claimed to
have been given by Morton to the ]. c..
Bohart Commission company OF Chicago.
The cattle were all 4-year- r-old Panhandle
steers and were roughly valued at $40, 900.
As soon as the papers could be made out
Deputy Sheriff Stryker went to South Omaha
and seized the entire herd.
The attachment was sued out by the J. G..
Bohart company. This concern alleged that
1t had sold the cattle to Morton and had ac-
cepted Mortons paper in the shape OF three
mortgages aggregating s25.7s4. but that the
shipment to Clay. Robinson & Co. was made
to avoid payment of the mortgages. There
were two mortgages of $s,492 each on two
lots Of 1893 steers and another for $S,8 800 on
the remaining 200. The cattle came in from
the Schrader pastures in Marion county,
Kansas.
Fearing that the steers would get into the
hands OF the Union Stock Yards company
and Armour & Co. the Bohart company made
them defendants with Clay, Robinson G. Co.
Stryker found the cattle at the Union Stock
yards
The last seen of Gillett was at Fort
Worth Tex, and from this has arisen the
presumption that he either went to Mexico
or to some South American country, al
though his mother at Abilene, Kan, is said
to have received dispatch from him to
the effect that he has sailed from New
York to Spain.
Most all OF his stock was replevined In
Kansas yesterday by his creditors and the
Bohart suit here was simply one Of great
many Of q similar character.

Superintendent Corwin OF the Stock Yards
Railroad company has issued orders for the
footboards on all Of the engines belonging

MRS. KINGSTON GETS A DIVORCE.
Final Chapter in an Exposition RO-
m ance Written In COurt.

Final Chapter in an Exposition RO-
nance Written in Court.
The last chapter In the divorce suit OF
Mrs. Frances s. Kingston against Henry b.
Kingston was closed yesterday by decree
being given to the plaintiff One popularity
about the case is that this Is the second
decree. Over a week ago Judge Fawcett
rendered one, whereupon 1t was discovered
that the matter was on Judge Scott's docket
and the decree was recalled. Judge Scott
eventually took action In the case, freeing
the woman from her husband Of few days.
Kingston came here ostensibly to see the
exposition. He represented himself to be a
man of considerable affiuence and wide busi-
ness connections. The Hillsdale, at Eight
eenth and Douglas, suited him for board
ing place and pretty soon he won the heart
of It's proprietress Mrs. Frances s. Dunn.
He tried to get her to mortgage the place
but she was little too smart for that. He
went over to Council Bluffs one day and
when he came back he said he had lost his
pocketbook. On the strength Of this he
borrowed some money, about $500. Then
after they were married his business az
fairs made II necessary for him to take "a
trip at once, he said, and they went to st.
Joseph and thence to Kansas City, Mo. Their
ultimate destination was Denver, where he
said he lived; that Is. he lived there in q
Ane house part of the year and In an ele-
giant New York mansion the other part, but
most Of the time he had to be on the road.
At Kansas City he went out of the hotel
where they were stopping for the purpose,
ne told her, OF buying railroad ticket from
a scalper. She never saw him afterwards
This was not a great many days after they
had been made man and wife.
Her suit was based upon the ground OF
cruelty under the laws provision covering
the kind of treatment she received from
Kingston, towit, Misrepresentation with In
tent to defraud In a marriage agreement and
eventual abandonment. Mrs. Dunn says one
of her boarders introduced Kingston to her
about a year ago. but she does not know
whether this party was in collusion with him
or not.

Phil e. Winter is also to enter an election
contest. He served notice upon George
w. Shields yesterday that he would contest
his election to the county attorneyship, say
ing he would base an action on the follow
ing grounds: Errors made by canvassing
boards in accepting illegal votes and throw
ing out legal ones, and mal-conduct on the
part of the election officers in certain pre-
cincts. The official canvass showed Shields
elected by 9,196 votes, to Winters S,249.

which Erastus Young charges Bechel with
the embezzlement OF over $4,000. Mr..
Bechel was arraigned before Judge Sla-
baugh yesterday and pleaded not gurty.
The old case, 1t is understood, Is to be
dropped. The probability is that Mr..
Bechels trial will be some time next
week.
AS the sixty-hve counts against Bechel
are mostly based upon the evidence given
by Andrew J. Hunt the defense will at
tack all his statements on the ground that
his testimony has been coerced by the pros
ecuton on a promise Of immunity. Mr..
Connell has a typewriter report Of state
ment made by Hunt, in which he admitted
that he was promised immunity II he would
testify against Bechel. The admissions
made by Hunt also in the recent prelimi-
nary hearing before Judge Baxter will be
made the most Of, full report having been
secured by the defense. Hunt then said
that about 1000 was used in his Colorado
mining deal after the dates OF the checks
and drafts offered in evidence. He con-
fessed, furthermore, to having drawn up
one of the drafts and to having signed
Mr.. Bechels name to 1t. 1t was for $4OO.

From the War Departments order to

go that the arms Of the State Guard
may be kept at home for new companies
raised for State service during the ab-
scnce OF the volunteer companies
1t is n DISPUTED question anyway as
to whether the government has right
to demand the State equipment if de
sired, or whether the State has Il legal
right to its arms.
In 1887 an act was passed by Con
crcss appropriating $1,000 to each State

tenance to be delivered in arms, ammu-
milton equipment or money as desired.
and has been drawing $4,000 annually
for the support Of her State troops.
Whether this authority carries with it
an exclusive right of ownership has
never been determined Some claim the
government under this statute would
have no right to demand the State arms;
others take All etirev different view Of
it. arguing that the equipment was only
merely loaned to the State, and that it
is still the property Of the government
and that the government has the right
to take charge Of it on demand
The question is certainly an important
one, and should be thoroughly investi-
gated, and ut once, by the Adjutant
General and the Governor.
To the Eastern section Of the State,
especially, it is matter of supreme mo-
mcnt. Had it been determined earlier.
no doubt many of the companies in that
section that have refused to volunteer
would have done so and those that did
so would have been able to have re-
cruited M to the required number.
As this paper has already announced,
the Governor has decided that notwith-
standing the broken condition Of the
ranks of the State militia on account of
the volunteer service. they are to be kept
intact as far as practicable
Old companies that refused to volur-
tecr arc TO retain their arms and equip

time of such service Further details
