relatives heard that he was a married man.
Then there was trouble in the court house.
John Klossner, his wife, a grown daughter
and another son moved on the county court
in solid formation and declared their in
tentions of instituting proceedings unless
the Objectionable ceremony was cancelled.
None of the visitors could talk good English,
but they supplied in volume what they
lacked in lucidity and for two hours the
occupants of the corridors were entertained
by as lively a verbal encounter as has been
on the boards since marriage licenses were
instituted. They declared that Emil is only
II years old and that he had been led into
a marriage by a designing young woman, of
whom they could scarcely say anything bad
enough. They insisted Jnat the marriage
must be annulled at once, but they struck a
snag in the proposition that such an action
could not be instituted except by one of the
contracting parties. Then they hunted up
Emil. but he insisted that he knew what
he wanted and that he was entirely satisfied
with his bride. There the matter stands
and Cupid promises to have his way in
spite of their opposition.
The affair involves another peculiar com
plication in that a common cause against
the bride has brought together members of
a family who have not spoken to each other
for four years. About four years ago the
same families were in court on the allega-
tion that John KIossner had been grossly
abusive and that his children could not re-
main in the same house with him. As a re-
suit Julia Klossner was taken away from
him. and since then she has lived with a
widow in another part OF the city. She is
now a young woman, and she was the first
TO learn of her brothers. marriage, She was
so much incensed that she forgot her own
grievance and hurried at once TO her parents
to impart the intelligence. John K~lossner
is an expressman, who lives at 1902 South
Fourth street, and Emil Klossner is en-
ployed by a local oil and paint company.
AS the family of the groom refuses to for
give the young couple are living with the
family of a friend at Second and Bancroft
streets.

DRIVEN OFF BY SQUATTeRS
Chat Redick and Fred WeymuIIer Re-
ceive n Severe Beating-Mnke II
Run for Their Lives.

A pitched battle fought Thursday after
noon along the river bank seventeen miles
south Of the city between two real estate
agents and a band OF squatters resulted II
the complete rout of the agents and the
temporary triumph Of the men who hold the
land by right OF occupation.
The dealers in town lots and tracts who
invaded the bailiwick of the squatters are
Chat Redick and Fred Weymuller, the pur-
pose of their errand being to look over the
locality preparatory to making a purchase.
The names of the men who resented the visit
and drove the prospective buyers away with
axes and shotguns are not known, but ii is
said warrants viii be issued for their arrest
at once on the charge of assault.
Redick and Weymuller drove to the vicin-
ity they wished to inspect Thursday after
noon. Hitching the horse 20 a fence, they
proceeded on foot in the direction Of the
river and stopped at the first hut to in
quire about the road. All the neighboring
land for miles around is held by squatters
who exc out an existence by farming, and
II happened that the dugout where the land
agents halted was the home of eight OF
these men. who We're armed and stationed
there to intimidate trespassers on their
imagined rights.
The squatters, apparently very hospitahle,
invited the visitors TO enter the yard and
then they closed and barred the gate. After
this their demeanOr changed and in answer
TO a question regarding the road to the
river, one of them announced:
You fellows will never see the river;
well plant you right here"
The words were accompanied by a blow
OF an ak on Redick's arm, and this was the
signal for the speakers companions 10 pun
mel the visitors. AK handles and fists were
freely used and the land agents, being out
numbered and convinced that discretion was
the better part of valor, hastily burdled the
fence and ran for the buggy, pursued by
their assailants. Being feeter of foot they
succeeded in reaching the buggy and clam
bering into it drove away at a gallop, leav-
ing the squatters in undisputed possession
OF the field.
As a result OF the conflict Redick has a
crippled arm and several severe bruises
about the face and body. Weymuller re-
ceived the worst injuries and is now con-
fined to his room. They say the next time
they call on squatters they will go armed
TO the teeth.

AFFECTING SCENE IN JAIL
Joyful Reunion Of Mrs, La Rouchs and
Her Little Son.
BOY is KEPT IN HIDING EIGHT MONTHS
His Father, who Separates from Mrs
In Rouche, Takes the Child, En-
ters Upon II Criminal Career
and il Under Arrest.

II was a joyful meeting that took place
thursday night at the police station be-
tween Mrs. Fred La Rouche and her 6-year-
old son, Clyde, whom the father, now in
jail, had kept hidden from her for eight
lonesome months.
Big policemen with feelings calloused from
contact with all sorts of crime and sorrow
felt little Jumps rising in their throats and
resorted TO whistlinE that they might not
appear tender hearted. Mrs. La Rouche
ciasped her boy in her arms and embraced
him for several minutes in silence. Then
she held the little fellow out at arms
length and asked questions so rapidly that
he could not answer more than half.
In due time he told how his father had
hidden him in different houses since July
and how he had been moved from place TO
place to be kept out of the reach Of de-
tectives since his father was locked up in
jail. They didn't want you TO have me,
did they, mamma? But you found me just
the same, was the little fellows conclusion
TO his story, and ! love you best"
Mr.. and Mrs. La Rouche were separated
in July and since that time the father has
lived with a Mrs. Wilson at 7O9 North Six
teenth street, He took his child and
secreted him SO that his mother could not
find him. Mrs. La Rouche returned 10 live
with her parents in South Omaha at TWEEN
ty-seventh and L streets.
La Rouche has been implicated in several
big robberies that have occurred recently,
among them being the theft Of 1000 pounds
OF flour from the Sarpy mills and numerous
wholesale chicken raids. He used to take
his little son with him to hold the horses
while he and two companions robbed
chicken roosts and filled the wagon with the
stolen fowls.
La Rouche was arrested a few days ago
on suspicion of having stolen a set of har-
ness in Council Bluffs and was turned over
10 the authorities OF that city, where ne is
now in jail. AT the same time his boy was
taken into custody and detained here, His
mother applied for his release, which was
granted Thursday night.
George Spencer, who accompanied La
Rouche on many of his expeditions, is
locked up here on the charge Of grand
larceny.

Cherry. did not handle any of the money
that was paid in by the members as the
organization has a treasurer for that pur-
pose. He and his wife had become ac-
q~uainted with Mr.. and Mrs. Rieck at the
rooms and subsequently they had enter
talned each other at dinner. The witness
told the story of the trip to Boston taken
by Rieck with Mrs. Cherry and himself sub
stantially as it was set forth in Mrs. Cherry's
answer in the divorce suit. He asserted that
they had met Rieck in Chicago and that
they had made the rest Of the trip together
merely as a matter Of social convenience.
He vigorously denied that either Mrs.
Cherry or himself had ever entertained any
intentions in regard TO the Rieck property.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. W. Cochran, neighbors
of the Rieck family, testified that they had
never heard any indications of quarreling
during their residence in an adjoining
dwelling.

CUPID 0UTWITS THEM ALL
Emil Klossner Succeeds in Marrying the
Girl of His Choice.
DARtS TO INCUR THE WRATH OF PARENTS
Georgia Trobee Led TO the Altar
While Members of Her Family
Are Figuring Out N Plan
TO Prevent the Union.

The Klossner family has acquired another
load Of trouble, This time a wedding has
ruptured its serenity and the fact that Emil
Klossner has dared TO marry the girl of his
choice without the aid or consent of any
other Klossner on earth has filled his rela-
tives with wrath and made the corridors of
the court house resound with their tribula-
lions. County Judge Baxter, who performed
the Harry Mott, who was so un-
fortunate as to be the person who issued
the license, and all attaches of the court
house who have anything to do with the
marriage records have been individually and
collectively blamed by the enraged members
OF the family, who insist that their ancestral
escutchon has been permanently ~disfigured
because the Youngest son married pretty
Georgia Trohee against the united remon-
strances OF the remainder OF the family.
Georgia secured the license, made all ar
engagements to have the ceremony performed
and married her man before his relatives
heard the first tinkling of the wedding bells.
Late Saturday afternoon a young man
visited Judge Baxter's office and asked for
u license for the marriage OF young Klossner
and Miss Trobee. He was assured that one
OF the contracting parties must apply for
the document in person and soon after Miss
Trobee appeared and blushlngly made the
necessary showing and paid 81 for the
license. She said that she was is years old
and that her prospective husband was 81
and the license was consequently issued.
Then she hdgeted around for a few minutes
and finally asked for an audience with the
judge. To him she declared that neither
she NOR her sweetheart knew of any clergy
man 10 perform the ceremony and in order
TO be accommodating the court agreed 10
come down Sunday at noon and ~oficiate in
person, This program was carried out and
the young woman left the court house the
next day as Mrs. Georgia Klossner.

KNOTTY EQUITY PROBLEM
Employment Agency Cnse Occupies
the Attention of Judge Dickinson
Other Legal Mntters.

Judge Dickinson spent yesterday with
a very knoLty equity problem in conjunction
with the application of Mamie Z. Sadler for
an injunction 10 restrain II. e. White from
engaging in an employment agency business
in this city. The petition stated that the
plaintiff had purchased the business operated
by White on an agreement that he would
not engage in the same business elsewhere
in Omaha, 1t was alleged that he had vio-
lated this contract. The evidence Indicated
that White was merely working for another
agency on a salary and this brought up
the delicate question whether such employ
ment was a violation of the contract. The
authorities cited by the attorneys were very
conflicting and Judge Dickinson decided that
he would refuse to grant the temporary in
junction and let the case come up on lis
merits. He held that this would not pretu-
dice the interests Of either party and that,
when authorities were so conflicting an
order should not be issued on afidavits I'M
less a refusal ITO do so would work irrepar-
able injury TO one Of the parties.
The Rieck Divorce Cnse.
Judge Fawcett returned Yesterday and
resumed the hearing of the Rieck divorce
case. The REORGANIZATION OF Rieck occu-
pied the forenoon, but his evidence added
very little new matter to the record. The
plaintiffs attorney spent some time in an
effort TO induce the witness TO admit that he
had once threatened TO kill his wife before
they left Germany but Ibis he strenuously
denied. He was also questioned closely To
show that Mrs, Rieok had helped in the hay
field and in the dairy in addition to her do
nestle emp!oymeuts, and this was admitted
by the witness,
In The afternoon II. A. Cherry, husband
Of Mrs. Ella Cherry, the Christian Science
healer, who has figured prominently in the
case, took the stand 10 tell what he knew
about kiecks connection with the healing
fraternity. He said that Mr.. Cherry mad
been a healer since 1852. and he gave some
general information in regard 10 the history
Of the organization Of which she poses as
the spiritual head. lie asserted that Mrs.
