for alleged robbery. had his prelimi-

discharged from custody.

titled that Shaughnessy and two other
men were with him In Cautions sa-
loon last Saturday night. and while
drinking at the bar. Shaughnessy had
taken SEQ from his pocket. He was
very positive Shaughnessy got his mon
ey.
Detectives Murphy and Ray related
the story Whalen had told them when
he made complaint. . story which diff
fered very materially from Whalen's.
AZ there was no other evidence to suo-
stantiate the charge. Judge Lauran-
deaf dismissed the case.
The defendants In two other robbery
cases were arrafgned before Justice
Laurandeau. A. w. Byrne. who is ac-
cused of robbing another citizen Of s14,
entered a plea Of not guilty and had
his hearing set for the 18th. In default
OF $500 bail. he was committed.
The third robbery case of the day
was that against Martin Herrison. who
Is accused OF stealing q watch from a
woman of the town. In a saloon a few
nights ago. He demanded q prel.mi-
nary hearing upon being arraigned.
which was set for the 30th. and as he
IA unable to furnish the $500 bonds
required, he was remanded to the GUS
tody of the sheriff.
Complaints were filed In Justice Lau-
randeau's court in two cases, charging
the grave offense of assault in the sec
ond degree. They were against George
Andrews. aras George O'Donnell. and
Teddy" Ryan, two r~oustabouts at the
Casino theater. The defendant. O'Don-
nell. has a brother Dan, with whom he
is always In trouble. and for which he
has frequently occupied a cell at the
city Jail. A few days ago the brothers
had another disagreement and this
time Ryan o a hand with him. while
Proprietor J. w. Kenney was drawn
in on the side OF the brother Dan.
The two who are made defendants
were evidently out to win and not to
lose, AS one used a rock and the other
a knife. No great damage was done,
but Kenney and Dan O'Donnell regard
warrant them in entering complaint
and asking for a prosecution on the
charge mentioned. Both defendants
are under arrest and will probably be
arraigned to-day.

He Held W q Bar Room and Secured
A o highwayman held up the Clar-
ence hotel barroom on East Park
street at 2 o'clock this morning. and
walked away with $40. He entered the
barroom with a handkerchief across
his face and a gun i'm his hand. He
commanded Bartender Magee and four
other men in the room to hold up their
hands. When all hands were up the
robber jumped over the bar, took the
money out of the till and backed put
of the room, all the while holding the
men under cover Of the big gun. AS
soon as he disappeared the police sta
ton was notified and Captain Dawson
and Sergeant Leyden started in
search. Their only clue was "a tall
man. well-dressed, wearing a black
hat" He was not arrested at $3.50 this
morning.
In a room adjoining the saloon were
Is or 20 men n they knew nothing
about the robbery until all was over.
Officer Barry. whose beat is near the
Clarence, saw a nan going towards the
hotel with a handkerchief across his
face. but thinking that the cloth was
held there on account of the sitting
smoke, paid no attention to h man.

His Price for a Broken Heart.

Not long since a Danyille, ILL.,,
Jury ordered the male defendant 10
a breach of promise case TO pay
the decidedly competent sum OF
S54, 1888 to the afflicted fair one
This was thought to be the largest
amount ever awarded by a jury 10
a similar action. Though it is &
pretty high estimate of blighted
affection, there is another estimate
which if not in dollars and cents ex
actly as high, yet in general con-
sideration of excellence reaches as
lofty an altitude. That is the es-
innate of the people in their gem
eral verdict as to the efficacy of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a
remedy for constipation. The ac-
ton of this gentle, but effective,
laxative is meyer accompanied by
the gripping and other abominal dis
turbance which precedes or accom-
panv the operation of a gripping
carthartic. Moreover, it is an in
comparable remedy for and pre-
veutitive of malarial, rheumatic
and kidney complaints, never
failing means of invigOrating the
stomach and nervous system, and
