this system Bee reporter called on a

VIII Send Young widow Home.

After spending her last 25 cents for some
thing to eat Mrs Millie Hoff, a 16-year-old
widow, called at the police station for help
rather than be tempted by the pitfalls she
says abound in large cities. The young
woman will be sent to her former home al
Murray, Ia. by the authorities.
Mrs. Hoff's story is that she became a
widow three weeks after she was married
last November. Her husband was killed
while out hunting. She came to Omaha
two weeks ago and stayed for awhile at
the home of her cousin at 2210 South Twen-
tieth street The cousin, she says, tired of
her company; then she took up with girl
companion at 419 North Fourteenth street.
She has cousin, Nick Hoffman, cashier of

Strike Near Homs
HIS MEMORY AGAIN PROVES BAD
Fails to RecOIIect InvestiEatiOn of
Charge that He Tried 20 Ex-
tort Money While City
Engineer.

With Attorney Connel strenuously OBJ
jecting to II. b. Howells stump speeches
to the jury under the guise of explaining
testimony brought out on cross-examina-
tion. the close of the second forenoon of
the alleged libel case against Edward Rose
water was a trife exciting.
The witness had all morning been lodging
questions and hedging on his answers
After failing Thursday afternoon to get
Naval Lieutenant Howell within smelling
distance Of powder or working cannon in
the Spanish-American war, Mr.. Connell
Friday morning brought him quickly under
a fire of questions that scorched and blis-
tered his almost impregnable self-com-
placency
These related 10 the famous investigation
of Howells act while serving as city en-
gineer in going east to apply for the
position of manager of the water works in
Omaha. Objection after objection shut out
nearly all of this matter, but in every
instance Mr.. Connel had his question put
in the record with an exception noted to
the courts ruling.
That Famous "COIIOquy."
1t was after a long bombordment of
shots taken from his own locker that Mr..
Howell got to the point where he could
breathe a trife more freely. This was
when Connell ceased his cross-examination
and Judge Sldbaugh gave the witness a
chance to make certain explanations to
the jury which Howell insisted were neces-
sary. These related to various matters
brought out on cross-examination, but par
ticularly TO what Howell called his
"colloquy" with Mr.. Rosewater at Lincoln
last February.
Mr.. Howell could not confne himself to the
words of the 'colloquy," as admonished
by the court and the county attorney.
MIR. Connell as consistently kept on OBJ
jecting, and between the witness and the
attorney the court almost lost patience
He lectured Mr.. Connell for unnecessarily
objecting, which led the latter to say:
I'VE are here defending against a charge
that, If proven, might consign this defend
ant to the penitentiary for a term of years
insist that have the right and that it is
| my duty 70 object and to stand up ever

Defendant Called.

Defendant Cauen.
Mr. Rosewater told of living first in
Cleveland when a boy, then in Alabama and
Tennessee On the outbreak of the war he
became a telegrapher in the service of the
United States government. He was with
the armies of Generals Rosecrans and Fre-
mont in that capacity, also with Commo-
dore Dahlgren at the navy yard in Wash
ington; then with General Pope until after
the second battle of Bull Run. From Pope $
headquarters he went to the War depart
ment at Washington, but objection by the
county attorney prevented a statement as
to the character of his service when at
tached to Lincolns personal stan at the
capital. In September 1863, he came to
Omaha as manager Of the Pacific Telegraph
company. Later he served in the same
| capacity for the Western Union, the At
| lantic & Pacific and the Great Western,
new companies which came into the field.
Attorney Connell brought from the wit
ness the story of the Inauguration of The
Bee on June 10, 1871. and its growth from
| that time on. First a small sheet printed
on both sides, 12xls II had soon been en-
| Iarged TO twice that size and its growth
