CUNNINGHAM K. SCOTT DEAD
FSrmsr Judge Of District Court Passe'
Away While Sleeping.
HAD BEEN At HIS OFFICE ON FRIDAY
Native of ohio, He Had Practiced Law
in Three states and Had Passed
Through Many stormy
Experiences.

Former Judge Cunningham r. Scott
died Sunday morning at o'clock at his
residence, 20SS Dodge street after a brief
illness. He was stricken with a severe
cold two weeks ago and. although more
or less indisposed, was able to be at his
office for a short while Friday morning
He took to his bed Friday and died while
asleep Sunday morning. The attending
physicians stated the weakness OF the
patients heart made it impossible for
him to fight the cold.
The wife of the deceased died in Omaha
three years ago. He is survived by a SON
Edgar H. Scott of 3l67 Davenport street
and two daughters. Laura and Katherine,
who live at home.
Judge Scott Ayured more or less in
local political and legal affairs for twenty
years. He came to Omaha from Council
Bluffs in 1883, ana until 1892 was in legal
partnership with his son. In 1892 he took
up the duties of district Judge, to which
he was elected on the republican ticket.
He was reelected in 1896 and was a can
didate for a third term as a silver rcpub-
lican, but failed to secure the indorse-
ment of the democrats or populists. He
ran independently, but did not poll the
requisite vote. In 1898 he aspired to
a silver republican.
Figured in stormy Incidents.
Mr.. Scotts judicial and political career
in Omaha was marked by many stormy
passages. During his occupation Of the
criminal branch of the district court,
however, he achieved much notorety for
his freakish performances. Both as a
politician and judge he had fighting
qualities of no uncertain quantity
One of Judge Scott's decisions - that
pertaining TO the power of the mayor TO
appoint the Board OF Fire and Police
commissioners - created wide spread in
terest, finally resulting in the supreme
court reversing the decision after it had
once beon sustained Judge Scott ruled
that the mayor could appoint the COM
mssioners the carrying out of which de-
cision necessitated the ousting of the old
board.
Cunningham r. Scott was born in
Wayne county, Ohio, October %, 1882. He
entered Mount Union college and prac-
uced law with John McSwaney at Wor-
cester O., and later at Bryan, O., where
he opened an office. He moved from
Ohio to Upton. Ia, from where he went
to Anamosa, Ia, where he lived twelve
years and served as district attorney
| three years. In 1874 he moved to Council
Bluffs, practicinG law there for twelve
years before taking up his residence in
Omaha.
The funeral service will be held at the
residence Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock.

AS it is now the business of this town is
one street for miles. Quincy street is a
beautiful street and should be made the
retail business street of the town with
jackson street the joboing street. The

itself to that sort of business easily. On

would be the ideal sort of street for that.

then, according to Mrs. Stearns, turned
on his heel and walked in an opposite
direction from the fleeing negro.
Mrs. Stearns then gave chase to the
negro herself and caught him. He
gave up the purse and said he was
running to return It to the person
who had dropped it.
When Mrs. Stearns got back to her

the officer who had refused to help

White wrote to Cooley and Grow at
the beginning OF last week that he had
an offer from the Syracuse team in the
New York State league to play there
at $175 per month. John Schrant
who caught for the Syracuse team last
summer made the recommendation

wrote White, much rather. If you

release from Webb City, which I

The firm OF Cooley and Crow scratched
their heads several times when they
didn't itch, and finally took up White
at his own figure. Yesterday they
wrote him to conclude negotiations
with Hayden and to sign a Topeka
contract. That he will do so is not a
matter of question. White has always
had a weakness in his heart for To

Been Left Unwgitten.
Altoona. Pa. Dec. 3O.-Letters writ
ten by Mrs. Fitzsimmons to her first
husband. Clement Gority, now dead,
throw light on the alleged relations
between her and Major Charles J. S.
Miller of Franklin. Pa. The letters
are in the possession of Gority's broth
err who lives here. The husband
wrote to Mrs. Fitzsimmons' step
father, Andrew Grossman of Iowa,
telling of his suspicious with regard to
his wife. Grossman answered. No
vember Is, 1900, expressing doubt as
to the correctness Of the husbands
suspicious. His letter asked the fol-
lowing questions:
Are you and Julia divorced? In
your opinion. who is supplying Julia
with money? Is Miller married, and
has he any children?
A letter written by Grossman to
Julia January 6, 1901, says:
Now that the skeleton is out of
closet of your life, we will open the
door just a little and, then close it.
There are certain principles upon
which the best people agree; some
times there are circumstances which
palliate. You have none. You knew
better.
Julia's letters to her husband began
June %, 1901. In one she says:
Just a note to let you know ] am on
the boat with major for two or three
days. Major has given me a pretty
diamond ring, pure white stone. The
boat is grand.
In a subsequent letter she says:
Have just returned from Albany,
where the majors yacht landed yes
terday. Had a grand time. We will
not be in Franklin for four or five
weeks If anything ever happens be-
tween the major and myself I shall
blame Blumenthal Cher manager)
and 1 shall feel like killing him for
what he told the major about me.
Perhaps shall, for what have I left
if the major does not care for me ?
You understand this affair between
Charlie and myself better than any
one He says he wOrships me, and
would marry me If I had a divorce
from you. Some day there is going to
be a great crisis. That is when the
majors wife and family learn of this.
Then, and only then, shall I learn just
how much he cares for me. I am
hoping I can be with him great deal
before that crisis so he can learn how
much I care.
