Saturdays holdup OF Gus Stevens caused
considerable excitement, coming as it did
on top of the shooting of Cummings. AS
soon as the matter was reported to the
police n essages were sent to all patromen
and the result was that Timothy Finan
was arrested and lodged in Jail. The money
found on his person cannot be fully identified
by Stevens, but the police hold that the
amount was his share in the deal Mayor
Ensor appeared to be quite exercised over
the second daring hodup, and gave strict
orders to the police to arrest all suspicious
characters. 1t is understood that @ street
from Thirty third to Twenty-fourth east is
to be cleaned up, and that all habitual loaf
ers are to be sent to Jail, Not long ago
the business men on Q street called for pro-
lection and three officers were detailed for
day duty and three for night duty. Any
number OF arrests were made and for time
everything was quiet in that locality. Yes
terday the mayor ordered that three day
and night men be sent to West @ street
again, and a large number of arrests may
be looked for, The police force here is not
large enough to properly cover the city, but
the men now employed are covering as much
ground as possible. Robberies and holdups
will most likely continue until the gangs
operating here are driven out Of the city.

ANXIOUS TO KNOW ABOUT IT
PopuIist County Committee is Calling
In Vain fOr Report of
Finances.

The populist county central committee met
briefly Saturday night at the rooms OF the
Peter Cooper club. The only business that
claimed attention was an ineffective effort to
get a statement OF the campaign receipts
and disbursements of the executive commit
tee. Some OF the members have manifested
an itching desire to hear such statement
read but although tho auditing committee
has had the report for several weeks it has
never been presented.
Tho auditing committee was not present
and those who had been priming themselves
to criticise the disbursements of the com
mittee found nothing before them to critl-
else. 1t is intimated that some of the off,
GERS OF the committee have been drawing
greater salaries than some members of the
organization deem them entitled to, and the
fear is said to exist that IL the matter Ia
made public now the controversy TO which II
would certainly lead would not help along
tho appointment of somo CT the men whom
the populists have recommended for ap-
pointment to county positions.
The county committee has been calling for
the report each meeting for three weeks and
last evening instruction was again issued to
the committee to report at the next nesting.
The executive committee was also called
upon to submit a report.

MURDER OVER A FEW CENTS
One Iowa Farmer Kills Another During a

EGort to obtain Forty-FiNc Cents
worth OF Dishes Costs Henry
Rocker His Lifc-SInyer
In Jail.

GLENWOOD, Ia, Dec. 2.-tSpecaD-
Henry Booker. a farmer two miles north Of
Hinton station, died Friday afternoon from
a gunshot wound inflicted by neighboring
farmer, John Martens. After the shooting
Martens rode to Glenwood, where he sur
rendered himself to the sheriff.
The trouble between Booker and Martens
started over 40 cents. From the meager de-
tails received here it appears that an old
man named Bottel, who resided with Mar
tens, sold to Mr. and Mrs. Booker some
dishes for As cents Martens refused to per-
init the Bockers to enter his house when
they called to get their purchase. This was
early Friday morning. Later in the morn
ing Martens and Booker met In a field near
the latter's home. Martens was armed with
a shotgun. Words ensued and Martens fired
at Booker. who had grasped the barrel Of
the gun. Bockers right hand was torn of
and several shot entered the abdomen. Some
of the shot also slightly wounded Mrs.
Booker, who had run to the assistance Of
her husband.
Booker was able to walk to his home and
at first it was thought his wounds were not
serious. He soon. however, became uncon-
scous and died in about an hour before
medical aid could reach him.
Martens, as soon as he fired the shot,
secured a horse and rode to Glenwood
where he gave himself up to the sheriff. He
is an understood German, weighing about
125 pounds. Mentally he is below the aver
age.
Booker had lived near old Traders Point
about year. Martens owns a farm in the
vicinity, where he has resided seven years.
Booker was well-to-do.

HACK DRIVERS GIVE A BALL
They Grease the Ploor with Wax and Dance
with Joyous Vigor.
CAKE WALK AND CHICAGO GLIDE
Code of Ethics is Liberal, All Men
Are 'Gcnts;' All Women LA
dies" and Everybody Has
Night Of.

There was nothing puritanic nor pluto
cratic about the third annual ball given by
Omaha hack drivers at Creighton hall Sat
urday night 1t a wide open function
"a warm rag" somebody remarked-and
the vernacular was understood. Never did
the Bretons with their passe pied, the ltal-
ians with their passamezzo, nor the Spanish
with their passacaglia away back in the
early centuries. outshine the giddy maze
in which Omaha Jehus whirled.
All of the men were gents" and all OF
the women were ladies" The code of
ethics was somewhat liberal and everybody
had a good time. Fuldress suits were not
a requirement for admission, but several of
the gents wore shining tiles. 1t was a
night off and every substitute hack driver
in the city was at work while the regulars
danced.
The program consisted of twenty-six num-
bers, including the Chicago Glide and
"Phoebe's Cake Walk" One of the numbers
was "Manitou," but that seemed to be a
misnomer, for if any Manitou was in evi-
dence at all it was strictly on the side.
Number sixteen on the program was the
Rye Waltz"
At the close of the thirteenth number
there was an intermssion, during which
refreshments were sought by the jewellers.
While this was in progress the Turf
Trio" introduced some specially entertain
ment which raised the roof" as one of the
hackmen expressed it.
The ladies" were arrayed in piquant
smiles. supplemented by the latest and most
deft twists of the combined art of mlliner
and modiste, and for the gents" the haber-
dasher turned out his most noisy neckties
and highest standing collars. A man with
a bunch of red roses for sale walked through
the hall. Coin poured into his hands and
he went back for another bunch
Inspiration came from somewhere, and
before the ball was over the movements be-
came swifter and swifter. Like the ball
given by the celebrated Casey, as told in
song, they CREASED the floor with wax and
danced with joyous vigor. 1t. was late in the
night, or more properly, early in the morn
ing when the gaiety ceased. Early in the
evening an enthusiastic dancer suggested
that the party wait for refreshments until
"after the ball is over" but this PROPOSE
tlon did not meet with a second
The occasion was under the auspices of
the Hack Drivers union. an organization
which has developed considerable strength
in Omaha, and which is recognized by the
federation of labor unions. Various COM
mittees had been planning for weeks TO
were fully realized. There was a large at
tendance and it was just such ball as the

Overdose of strychninc.

HARLAN, Ia, Dec. 2.-(Special) )-will
sunderland took heavy dose of strychnine
with the evident intent of ending his life.
He is a young farmer living a few miles
north of the city. He had lately, whether
knowingly or not, sold at Dunlap, Ia, some
cattle that had been mortgaged by one
Tucker of Omaha, Neb., and turned over to
sunderland to SELL The latter had the
check of the Dunlap man drawn in his
favor, and when the matter of the mortgage
was learned OF by the Dunlap man, Sun
derland was threatened with summary pun
ishment unless the money were returned.
Sunderland thereupon went to his sister
Mrs. Belle Westrope, in this city and bor-
rowed $3.50, representing at the time that
he would give his sister a first mortgage
on his personal property. Upon going to
the recorders office Mrs. Westrope discov
cred that the personal property was already
mortgaged, all of it, to Mr.. NJ X. Camp
bell of the Shelby County bank. She then
threatened to deal summarily with her
brother. Sunderland had been drinking
heavily prior to taking the strychnine. This,
togther with the fact that the dose
of poison was abnormally large, probably
saved his life, although an emetic had been
administered by neghbor when the doctors
arrived.

DES MONIES, Dec. Especial Tele-
gram .)-AdJutant General Byers accom-
panied by Private Secretary Fleming of the
governors office, called on the officials of
the Rock Island road this morning and pre-
sented them with a New York draft for
$31 ,097. This covers the figures of the con-
tract made by the state authorities with the
Rock Island road for transporting the Fifty
first Iowa regiment from San Francisco to
Council Bluffs, lacking S253, which is
withheld for the price of two meals caused
by the delay of the last section on the
Union Pacific road. The amount withheld
will bo taken from the subcontract OF the
Union Pacific with the Rock Island, the
former being responsible for the delay
Money has been advanced to meet all the
bills incurred in bringing the soldiers
home, including besides the transportation,
$7400 for other expenses. The meals cost
$3,941. so. The Pullman charges were $500
and there were other small bills, including
telegraph, etc, all of which have been met
by the state through it's governor. 1t Is un-
derstood that the largest part OF the eX-
penses have been paid by the governor him
self, and the remainder has been covered
by temporary loans from different banks in
