c. n. Fairly, one of the proprietors
of the "armlass wonder attraction on
the midway of the recent carnival, WAS
arrested in Omaha yesterday afternoon
upon request of Sheriff Shoemaker, who
holds two warrants, charging enbezZla-
ment and larceny.
F'airly's partner in the business, III. IL.
without arms or legs and on exhibition
during the show, is the complaining
Fairly skipped out With out making Il
settlement. Further than that Under
wood claims that he was left in the city
to pay some of the bills incurred and
had no money with which to liquidate.
Underwood went before Justice Clark
yesterday and filed the two informa-
tons. Sheriff Shoemaker was given
the warrants and after q little work as
certained that Fairly had purchased a
ticket TO Omaha, where reside wife
and requested he be arrested. A tele-
up Chief Donahue, of the Omaha po-
lice, gave him description of Fairy,
and requested that the arrested. A tele-
gram from Chief Donahue at 4 o'clock
yesterday Afternoon announced that he
had been placed under arrest.
The Omaha police captain, however.
thinks that there is a better way TO fix
matters up than to hold Fairly, and
Sheriff Shoemaker is of the same opin-
ion. The sheriff was ready to leave for
Omaha at 5: 20 but received a message
stating that Fairly would settled in full
with Underwood, and that he would
meet him at Tekamah, Neb.. where
there is a carnival in progress this
week. Chief Donahue said he would
stand responsible for the settlement
and this was satisfactory to Under
wood, who Mt once left for Tekamah
With his "armless wonder" little Mel
velle, and his; wife. This will relieve the
officers here of further responsibility
in the matter. The amount claimed by
Underwood to be due him was only
about $500.
Mills Case Dismissed.
The case of robbery, preferred
against Robert Edward, George and j..
B. Mills, of Marion township, was tried
in Justice Burritt's court Monday. and
was not concluded until o'clock in
the afternoon. The case was dismissed,
as there YVES not enough evidence to
show that either of the brothers or their
cousin, Robert, who was directly &c
cused of the robbery, by the complains
ing witness, Jacob Smith, was guilty
While the circumstantial evidence was
thought of sufficient weight by the state
on which to base their action, there was
no positive proof whatever and the
court could do nothing but dismiss it.
Farmer Gets Into Trouble.
John Harding, farmer residing six
miles southeast of the city in Timber
Creek township, was arrested Monday
afternoon By Special Officer Ira Bos-
we'll, upon 4 charge of giving to an
Indian Intoxicating liquors. The ar
rest was made a little west of Center
street on Linn, back of the G. w. Kline
