BABES WERE THERE
Practical Jokers Spoil Omaha
Couples Honeymoon.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3-Too many babies
spoiled the honeymoon which Mr. and
Mrs. Ernest Jackson expected to spend
in Chicago, and they will probably
leave today. The marriage ceremony
was performed in Omaha on Thursday.
1t was society event in the Western
city. The honeymoon was to be one of
the features.
And the bridegroom thought that he
had planned it WE'LL Some of his Chi
cago friends were surprised at a tele-
gram which reached them the first of
the week.
Reserve rooms for me at the Palmer
house, read the telegram. And the
friends did. But they did something
else; something that the bridegroom
had not requested. They inserted an
advertisement in a morning paper:
Anyone having a sound and healthy
child which they wish to dispose of will
please communicate with the people in
parlor Y, Palmer house. All babies will
be inspected and all communications
will be received on Friday"
Then they reserved parlor Y for the
young married couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. jackson arrived on
schedule time, which was O'Clock yes
terday morning. So did the babies,
which was an hour later on the same
date. When Mr.. Jackson reached the
hotel he requested Mrs. Jackson to re-
main in the parlor until he had regis
tered. He received the keys to parlor
Y, and the two entered the elevator.
President Roosevelt wouldn't have
any room for kick" said the bride
groom, when a half-dozen SQUALLS
struck his ears. 1t was merely one of
his honeymoon jokes and of course the
bridge laughed

Upton HAS BAD DAY
Gets Lost, Is In Auto Wreck and
Boards Wrong Train.

Z CHICAGO, Oct. 3.ASir Thomas Lip
ton celebrated his last day in Chicago
by getting lost-lost so effectuaIly that
he thought he was in Chicago when he
was really in Hammond, Ind. As a re-
suit he was nearly an hour late at a
little farewell dinner given in his honor
at the Annex last night by Mrs. Alex
ander H. Revell
Chicago seems to be my hoodoo,"
he said as he entered the dining room.
i am inclined to echo the words of the
great Mascagni: The metropolis of the
West is city of many misfortunes'
Had 1t not been for Mr.. Revell, Sir
Thomas might not have arrived even
in time for nuts and coffee. But the
merchant proved himself a trusty Fri
day by following the baronet and
bringing him safely back to his hotel
1t happened in this wise:
Mr.. Revell took Sir Thomas for a
ride in his best automobile in the
morning. They went south. At noon
they had luncheon at the Washington
Park club, and in the afternoon the
ride was continued. Shortly after 5
o'clock the automobile broke down.
Visions of banquet board loaded
with good things to eat. awaiting the
host and the guest of honor who did
not come flashed across Mr.. Revell's
mind

said. MY wife will be distracted.
What shall we do?''
Ride back on the train" said Sir
Thomas, promptly

presence of mind of his guest.

William Stevens was somewhat hurt.
Another young man who was in the
mill escaped unhurt.
Then the storm reached across the
street and pulled the tin roofing from a
large livery stable. Otherwise the
building was not damaged. The Smell
elevator was next struck. The storm
pressed down upon the roof of this
building and the walls bulged out. The
building still stands, but it will have to
be rebuilt before it is serviceable.
Other Structures Wrecked.
Among the other buildings that were
wrecked were the big wagon factory
of Hendee & Sively, where Mr.. Sively
escaped by crowding close to a wall;
DR.. Scott's building, where the North

STAGE ALLURED Her
Birdie Wilkins, Aged Is, Runs
Away From Home to Act.

Birdie Wilkins, a beautiful fifteen
year-old girl, who disappeared from
her home in Chicago, where she lived
with her parents at 2S2 Jackson boule-
ward, to go on the stage, had her ar
tistic, aspirations nipped in the bud last
night at Weinholzer's Empire theater,
when she was arrested on complaint of
her mother.
Since she left her home last Monday
her mother has kept up an untiring
search for her, and learning that the
girl had left Milwaukee for st. Paul,
telegraphed to the police of this city to
find her.
Though she had not had an oppor-
tunity to appear upon the boards at
WeinholZer's theater she was willing
to go with an officer when she was
asked for, and accepted willingly the
accommodations of the police station,
where she remained last night await
ing her mother. who is expected to ar
rive this morning.
Life on the stage lost its charm for
the girl before she had chance to dis
play her beauty and skill as a buck
and wing dancer before an audience at

store of H. T. Gunnery, at Annandale,
was pillaged and hundreds of dollars
worth of clothing taken. So secure did
the robbers feel and so little did they
fear the authorities that they hung
around the village for several hours
after the store was looted. Towards
midnight they left for South Haven
where they made their headquarters
in a 500 Line box car.
Sheriff Young received word Friday
morning that gang of tramps, prob
ably the marauderS were at South
Haven. Accompanied by his deputy,
John Nugent Jr., he left for the village,
which is twenty miles west. Arriving
there at noon time, one of the hoboeS
was pointed out to him by citizen
The man had just purchased a news
paper from a train boy Young called
upon him to halt, which he did, and
after being placed under arrest was
turned over to Constable Marquard
who took him to the elevator a few
yards north of the railroad tracks.

"The other 'Willies' are in the car"
said Marquard to the sheriff.
"All right, replied Young, well get

Young and Nugent entered the car.
There were five men there sitting
around small stove.
You are under arrest" said Young
quietly.

Young turned. The distraction was
fatal. for when he faced about again six
guns, held by three men, were stuck in
his face.

BY a Staff Correspondent.

BUFFALO, Mimi, Oct. 3.-Ten days
ago a gang of six heavily armed des-
peradoeS came into Wright county.
Tonight, in justification of the law, one
lies dead, one is mortally wounded and
the other four are pierced with bullets,
but will recover.
A reign of terror existed in this
county for several days. Tonight the
marauding bandits are powerless. But
it was not without a terrible struggle
that the gang was successfully corraled
by the sheriff and his posse of farmers
and tradesmen, for when the des-
peradoes finally surrendered all had
fought gamely, and their large supply
of ammunition was about exhausted.
Surrender would have brought no
quarter to the bandits had it not been
for the prompt action of Sheriff Will
liam G. Young, for the infuriated> citi-
zenS We're so overcome with the excite
ment of battle that they were about to
murder their prisoners when Young in
terfered.
Stand back men and don't fret"
cried Young, as a dozen or more of the
posse aimed their rifles at the men
kneeling before them and praying for
mercy.
Sheriff Saves Them.
The citizen-arm hesitated for a
4lIpiiICIll.
Some one yelled, Kill the brutes,"
and the command was about to be
obeyed. Young rushed forward, placing
himself between the posse and the
desperadOes. With cooked revolver he
dared anyone to open fire on his
prisoners. His cool, but determined
counsel finally prevailed and the men
Were saved from a massacre.
For several days the small towns and
villages of Wright county have prac-
tically been at the mercy of the gang
of bandits. Stores have been pilfered,
houses have been looted and the farm
ers' gardens and hen roosts have been
nightly relieved of their contents.
Bolder and bolder the marauders
had become. Women and children
feared to leave their homes after dark,
while the men folks grew more though
full each day that the enormity of the
depredationS increased.
Thursday night the climax Of the
gangs deeds of boldness was reached.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 3,-The strikes
and lockouts in the Cripple Creek and
other gold mining districts of Colorado
have already reduced the mineral pro-
duction of the state this year at least

nominal conditions. In consequence of
the strike, 1000 soldiers of the Colo
rado national guard have been doing
duty in Cripple Creek for four weeks
and as yet neither. mine owners nor
strikers show any evidence of weak
ening. The cost to the state of main
tanning the military force in the field
is estimated at $4,000 per month
The unsettled conditions in the min
ing industry are due to the failure OF
the legislature to enact an eight-hour
law applying to mines, mills and smelt-

adopted a constitutional ! amendment
authorizing such amendment Some
companies granted the request of their
employees for an eight-hour day, but,
others refusing, strike was ordered

Three weeks after the inauguration
of the strike two men were murder
ously assaulted by Unknown persons.
AT the request of the Mines4Owners' as

soldiers many members of the unions
have been arrested, but Judge Seeds
