CONTEMPT HEARING IS OVER
Judge Munger's Decision in Strikers Case
is Expected Monday.
BALDWIN TALKS ABOUT THE PICKET LINE
Lawyer for the strikers Argues that
the Courts Injunction Does Not
Forbid the Maintenance
of Pickets.

The testimony and argument in the
Union Pacific strikers contempt case was
finished yesterday and awaits the de-
cision OF the court, which is expected Mon
day morning.
The defense yesterday introduced four
witnesses with the idea Of showing by
their testimony that Firth, the man who
testified that William Richelieu and two
other strikers had made him the subject
Of profane epithets. was a man who bore
a reputation for being untruthful and q
distruber Of the peace. William Richelieu
testified that since the beginning of this
trial Bernard Mechanic, who, as a witness
for the Union Pacific. stated he had been
abused by the strikers, had called at the
Labor headquarters and after waiting about
there until Richelieu came in had re-
quested the latter to use his influence to
do what he could toward getting him once
more into the good graces OF the union.
Argues Against PIckets.
In the argument for the Union Pacific
which followed, Attorney Baldwin called
the attention of the court to the NUM-
bers and strength Of the strikers picket
line, which constantly surrounded the
Union Pacih shop grounds from 6 in the
morning until IL o'clock at night. This
picket line" said Baldwin, "is doing the
same thing as 1t was when this court
found cause to issue the injunction. 1t is
a continued. Uninterrupted demonstration
Of force by 22s men for the purpose OF
serving as an intimidation to the work.
ers in the shops"
In his answer on behalf Of the strikers
Attorney Smyth held that the defense had
proven that the order OF the court had not
been violated In letter or in spirit. The
injunction, he declared, had not held that
the picket line was illegal and that in
bringing up this as a point She attorney
for the other side had gose outside OF the
case before the court. If the picket line
was illegal there was cause for another
action, but since 1t was not in violation of
the injunction 1t had nothing to do with
the case In land. Attorney Smyth also
went briefly over the testimony Of the
witnesses who had been before the court.
The arguments on both sides were short.

Beet suEa workers.

A party Of 400 beet sugar workers came
into Omaha Friday afternoon on a Milwau-
kee special from Milwaukee. The party
had been in Michigan at work and was re-
turning to Lincoln and Hastings after a
profitable season.
The Milwaukee made a fast run all the
way, but attained phenomenal speed for a
short distance near the eastern iowa line.
The, birth Of a child was the cause. The
train was held at a station while R. G.
Jones, travelling passenger agent for the
Milwaukee, who accompanied the party,
went for a physician. When the train ar
rived in Omaha the little one and his
mother were as bright as any members of
the party. The former was somewhat
demonstrative, but this was attributed to
pride over the remarkable circumstances
attending his advent.

GEORGE, THE TRAMP.
Found He Could Swing Under Trains
as Well After an Before Losing
Both Legs.

A certain George was once swinging
under a passenger train, says Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly, and noticing
that he had aroused the interest Of
several young ladies on the station
platform, he did not at once go under
to the trucks, but held to the truss
rod with only one hand, while with
the other he waved a handkerchief for
effect. The effect was startling and.
for George, disastrous, both legs be-
ing pinched off near the knee. He
recovered from the shock and opera
ton and in a few weeks was stumping
about in clumsy "boots," taking a
nine-inch step, but he was very much
subdued for a long time, and quite I'M
like the hobo George of normal limb
length. However, one day George hap
pened to be stumping along the depot
platform when a passenger train came
in; it coniured up fascinating recol-
lections. He looked down at his poor
manned stumps and swore; he looked
at the train and considered. Present.
ly he shufHed to the track, reaching up
for the truss rod on the smoker. The
train started; George held on, swing
ing under to see if his stumps would
reach the brake beam. They did.
George walks in exceedingly ungain-
~ fashion, but then he doesn't walk
much. He travels otherwise, and from
20 to so miles an hour. He can swing

BIG GAME IN MEXICO.
Hunters Find Antelope, Wild Bears
Mountain Lions, Wild Dogs and
Wild BuFrOs.

A civil engineer recently returned
from the hacienda of Jimulco in Goa.
hula, an immense property containing
over 1900 square kilometers, tells
some stirring tales of shooting wild
game. Antelope abound, but great
care is necessary in approaching these
willy creatures, owing to their habit OF
always placing n or two on guard
while the rest of the herd is feeding.
The sentinels, faithful to their duty,
remain with head erect, peering and
shifting to the four points of the COM
pass and give a swift alarm the mo-
ment an enemy appears in sight.
Not long since, a party of young men
were hunting the javali, or wild hog,
relates the Mexican Herald, and, COM
ing up with a number, one of the hunt
ers succeeded in killing n and dis
mounted to secure it. AS he ap-
preached his prey a dozen or more
javali that were hiding in the tall grass
attacked him ferociously, and one
fastened his tusks in the hunters heel,
hanging on like grim death. The 9TH
ers came to their c~ampanion's assist
ance and the brute was killed, but the
tusks were sunk SO deep into the heel
that the hogs jaws had to be pried
apart with a gun barrel before the man
vas freed. Strange as it may seem,
the wound closed quickly and with
no serious results.
On this same hacienda are both wild
dogs and wild burros, the latter being
remarkably swift and hard to take.
The dogs are said to be large and very
savage, with ugly countenances and
extremely long, coarse hair. Some
time ago a pup was caught and tanned,
developing into a fine watch dog, but
though every effort has been made to
secure a mate for him it has not been
possible.
1t is not generally realized that the
mountain lions of Mexico will attacks
man, but several recent encounters
show them to be as dangerous for men
as for beasts. One of the mozos in a
recent hunting party had but one hand,
the stump of his left arm bearing wit
ness to a terrible struggle with a lion
he had shot and then approached,
thinking the brute was dead. A gen.
tleman who has hunted in the state
of Sonora tells of a certain spring
where two men have been killed by
lions while camping there for the
night. These brutes follow a man for
miles, like the panther, lured on by
the human scent and hopes of finding
an opportunity to spring on the trav-
eler. A mountain Lion was recently
killed in Michoacan that measured
three meters from tip to tip.
Mexico possesses many intrepid
hunters, especially among military
men, but their deeds of proves are
rarely related, this being rather for
eign to the Mexican character, which
does not lend itself to anything ap-
preaching boastfulness. The writer

TROUBLES OF ARMLESS MEN.
Three Of the Difficulties That Give
Them the Greatest and MOs
Frequent Annoyance.

Three common incidents of every
day life worry men without arms
more than many of the graver ques-
the armless man seldom finds any
one who can put his hat on so that
it feels comfortable, scarcely no one
is able to adjust his glasses to his
own satisfaction, if he wears glasses,
and. lastly, he experiences great diff
iculty in getting his shoes laced in
such a way that his nerves are not
set going, says the Chicago Tribune.
"They're small things to complain
about said one armless man, but
they worry me o than even the
fact that I have no arms. My wife
has made a careful and conscien-
tious study of my peculiarities with
reference to my hat, my glasses and
the lacing of my shoes, yet even she
does not give satisfaction, and as
for strangers, they are simply un-
bearable.
when my hat is set on my head
it never seems to touch the right
spot. 1t is either too far down over
my eyes or too far back, or else, if
the position happens to be some
where near correct, the hat sets too
lightly or is pushed down on to nv
ears. l always wear a stiff hat, so
l can butt my head against the wall
and adjust my top piece to my own
satisfaction.
MY glasses cause me even more
worry than my hat. I've tried all
kinds and styles with the same re-
suit. I'm now wearing old-fashioned
s%pectacles, so I can by rubbing the
bridge against the sharp corner of
a door or the bottom of a table ad-
just them at least half a cor
rectly.
"My strangest trouble is with nv
shoes, and they cause me the most
worry because I have not yet been
able to remedy the annoyance caused
by them. My wife usually laces them
in the morning, and frequently she is
compelled to make two or three
trials before she gets them properly
drawn together. If they are a bit
too tight or a bit too loose they set
my nerves on edge and make nv life
miserable. I don't know whether
I'm a crank OF not. Sometimes I
think I am, but of thic much I am
sure-I can't help it."
