WILL BE SETTLED
Chief Bowen in the Role OF
Peacemaker.
Returns From Oregon, Where He
Went With Warrant For W. P.
SpauIding and Wife.

The mystery surrounding the alb
sence from the city for the past two
weeks of Chief of Police Bowen was
solved Monday by his return on the
O:45 a. m. tain over the Omaha road.
It appears that he went to Forest
Grove, Oregon, with a warrant and
requisition papers for the arrest of
VIM. P. Spaulding and his wife.
CIarissa E. Spaulding.
The warrant was issued from the
municipal court Dec. Sd, the same day
that the complaint was filed, and
charges Mr.. and Mrs. Spaulding
with having on Sept. 10th committed
the crime of falsely and fraudulently
representing that they were the own
ers of certain real estate to which they
had no title, executing deed to the
same with intent to defraud. It
charges that Mr.. and Mrs. Spaulding
represented to Cynthia G. Davis that
they were the owners of lot three,
book thirty four, city, which was Of
the value of IS, 900, and that they sold
it to her for 81, 900. The warrant was
signed by Chas. J. Macbeth.
Mr.. Bowen. 1t appears, also had
with him the summons in the civil
action of Mr.. Macbeth against the
Spauldings. which case is on the cal
endar of the district court. 1t appears
that Mr.. Bowen was authorized to
settle the criminal and civil proceed
ings against Mr.. and Mrs. Spaulding
for $500 and his expenses on account
of the trip, and that Mr.. Spaulding
paid to Mr.. Bowen the sum Of $640 in
settlement of the two actions, to be
held by him in trust pending the dis
missal of said actions, taking his re-
ceipt therefor.
\ Mr.. Macbeth's attorneys in this
matter are Pau & Pau. 81. L. &
j. W. Schmitt are looking after the
interests of the Spauldings, but knew
nothing of Mr.. Macbeth's move until
two days ago, when they received
letter from Mr.. spaulding, in which
he said that he had paid Mr.. Bowen
$64O in trust, Mr.. Bowen having
quoted Mr.. Pau to the effect that
the payment of the money would sat
isfy all claims.
b. L. Schmitt was not exactly
pleased when he received this letter
He stated that had he known of thu
move there would have been little
trouble in having the requisition re
called by Gov. Van SAINT on the show
ing that the Spauldings would be abl
to make.
The matter having been settlet
amicably by the Spauldings making
the payment of the amount named
it is expected that both the crimina
and civil actions will be dismissed
when the money will be turned owe
to Mr.. Macbeth.

did you have any money in the
bank?" he asked after pause
"Every cent that own in the world!'
she answered, lifting her handkerchief
to her eyes and bursting into tears.

an embarrassment that seemed out or
harmony with his rough features. She
wiped her eyes and with little at

the doctors ordered papa out here, ne

died-it was all had. Now it is gone,
and I, oh, am so helpless! And here
II is Christmas time" She wept afresh,
and the man moved uneasily in his
seat, lifted his paper and turned the
! leaves nervously.
In a few minutes she dried her eyes
and leaned YEARLY against the back
Of her seat. She had not slept for two
nights, and soon her eyes closed IN
consciously, and she sank heavily
against the straight uncomfortable
side of the car. With sudden lurch
of the train she swayed to the right.

little unconscious heap upon the strong
shoulder of her companion. He looked
helplessly, hesitatingly, at her a mo-
ment, then, quietly moving in his seat
slipped off his coat, made 1t into
heap and left it beneath her head. The
light from above family outlined her
delicately shaped face against the
black coat, her small white hand was
thrown in childlike trustfulness above
the glistening masses of golden hair:
Bending quickly over the sleeping
girl he fumbled a few seconds with
the coat under her head then drew
back and pulling his hat over bis eyes
peered from under the wide brim into
the darkness outside. Several shrill
whistles came from under the car
window a lantern flashed up ano

aisle.
The noise Of the engine increased
and the girl opened her eyes. Sne
