Looks Rather that way,

quite right for two men to be seen hurry
ing along the streets in the prescribed
district at the hour of $40 am, with four
bottles OF beer under their arms, as Ernest
Taylor and w. II. Shull were doing Thurs
day morning, when Oficer Mccarthy and
Detectives Patulla and Horn arrested them
on the charge OF being suspicious char
acters. The police are inclined to believe
from the recent movements Of bottled beer
at all hours OF the night that some saloon
man Is cleverly evading the closing ordi-
nance. Taylor and Shull refused TO say
where they bought the beer and would not
give their addresses. When arraigned in
police court Thursday morning they were
each fined SIS and costs by Acting Police
Judge Foster, who says he believes there Is

GEORGE HAECEE GOES FREE
Nan Accused Of Arson Released After Jus
tiOs Court Preliminary,
STATE FAILS TO MAKE A CASE
such t. Decision of Judge Foster
Argument over AdmissibiIityr 90
Evidence aH to BiOod-
hound Case.

on the motion OF Attorney Jefferis, for
the defense, in the case OF arson filed in
Justice Fosters court against George
Haecke by Andrew Wellman. manager OF
the Cremona Stock farm, Haecke was dis
charged yesterday afternoon, after
lengthy trial. The defense took the posi-
tion that the state had not made a case
against the defendant, which contention
was supported by the Judge After the
evidence was all offered and the state had.
made It's arguments Attorney Jefferis was
content TO submit his Case without argu-
ment.
The strongest link in a chain OF circum-
Btantial evidence offered by the state
against Haecke was that on Sunday, the
18th instant the day after the burning OF
straw stack on the wellman place. a
bloodhound, owned by Or. Fulton, OF
Beatrice. took up a scent on the only
footprints leading from the burned stack
through a cornheld and followed the scent
to the home OF Haecke. The evidence was
strengthened by the testimony OF Weilmau,,
who said on the stand that Haecke had
threatened him last winter and that on the
day Of the fire Wellman saw Haecke drlv-
ing toward the Cremona farm.
SulIivnn's Decision Brought In.
Much of the time yesterday afternoon
was taken up by arguing whether the evil
dence as TO the conduct OF the dog could be
admitted, the defense citing the decision
of Judge Sullivan OF the supreme court OF
Nebraska Part OF Judge Sullivan's de-
cision reads, The conduct and behavior OF
bloodhounds after being set upon the trail
OF fugitive criminal may not be given In
evidence by the state for the purpose OF
proving that the scent Of the accused and
the scent of the person who perpetrated
the the crime, which is being investigated,
are IDENTICAL
In submitting the case the state claimed
that the Brott case Oo which Judge Sulli-
vans decision refers) is not applicable to
the Haecke case in that in the later case
the object of the state in offering the testi-
mony relative to the conduct of the dog
was to show that the scent of the person
who fired the straw stack was the same as
the person who went to the Haecke house,
making this evidence merely rorroboratiYe
of the other circumstantal evidence
offered against Haecke.
Deputy County Attorney Fitch moved
that the defendant be bound to the district
court, but Justice Foster declared the
state had not made a case and referred to
the Judge Sullivan decision relative to the
conduct of the bloodhound.

ULTINATUM TO MOROCCO
France Insists Upon Immediate Release Of
Merchant Arrested on Frontier
REFUSAL MEANS MILITARY INVASION
Entire French Legation Instructed
10 Leave at once ~ Demand
is Not Complied
with.

PARIS, Aug. 24-As the result OF a spe-
cial meeting of the council Of ministers
today II was announced that n military
demonstration will be made against
Morocco unless the sultan promptly yields
to the French demands for the release OF
the French-Algerian citizen, a merchant
named Bouzian, who was unjusthably ar
rested at Gharb, a Moroccan town on the
Algerian frontier.
Instructions were sent to the French
minister at Fez, St. Rene Talllandier, TO
make final and imperative demand on the
sultan. The minister was informed that II
this demand should be refused the entire
personnel Of the legation was to depart
from Morocco and a military movement
would simultaneously begin along the Al
gerian frontier
VIII Occupy Border Town.
1t is the intention OF the military authori-
ties TO occupy a Moroccan border town.
probably Oudjda, owing to its strategic
command OF the route to the Moroccan
capital. However the offcials are conf
dent that the sultan will yield before the
threat OF using military force.
The demonstration as planned is some
what similar to that which an American
squadron made at Tangier TO compel the
| release OF Ion Perdicaris, who was captured
by the bandit Raisuli. The French authori-
ties deemed a naval demonstration mex
pedient owing to possible international COM
pllcations resulting from other countries
sending warships to observe the demonstra-
! tion, while a military movement against
Morocco would be largely police measure,
not involving the general political question
of French authority In Morocco. The per-
sistent refusal Of the sultan to yield, how
ever, might compel the French to advance
/ farther than border town. Germany has
| approved the French demands for redress
but fears are expressed in some quarters
that the sultan will refuse to yield in the
| hope of scouting the aid OF Germany.
Powers Approve Action.
Practically all the leading powers have
| approved the determination Of the French
government to adopt a firm course. The
proposed course cannot be put into execu-
| tion before another week owing TO the
| time necessary to communicate the final de-
mands to the sultan.
military demonstration against Mo-
rocco was considered by the ministers to
| be preferable to a naval demonstration
The latter might involve international
| complications, as other powers, notably
Germany, would probably send ships for
the purpose of observing the French dem
| onstrations However. France is the only
power capable of executing a military dem
| onstration without transporting troops as
there is a large force of French and native
| Algerian troops now stationed in Algeria
close to the Moroccan border The French
headquarters is at Lalla Marina, sixteen
miles from the Moroccan town of oudjda
the occupation of which would place the
French within 200 miles of the Moroccan
| capital OF Fez
