Trigamist Is now In Jail.

O'Neill, Neb., Aug. 21.-Sheriff Hall
and Deputy Harding were out at
Amelia and placed under arrest a
man wanted in California on charge
of bigamy. He was brought to town
and placed in Jail and the sheriff a.

nullment of the marriage, after learn.

the bigamous charge.
Recognized From Description.
His locating and arrest here were
accidental. Mr.. Hall was over at
Amelia a few weeks ago and was
posting bill for the race meeting at
ONeill when he first saw Scott. The
sheriff had received a card from the
California sheriff few days previous
giving a description of the man want.
ed. Mr.. Hall says while he was tack
ing the bill to the side of a building
a man walked up behind him. He
turned around and recognized at once
that the man answered the descrip-
ton of the party wanted at Santa Cruz.
He did not arrest him at the time,
however, but sent for further informa.
ton at Santa Cruz, after obtaining
which he was satisfied that Scott was
the man wanted.
Scott was working in the hay field
for Charles Gilman when arrested.
The sheriff had been informed by the
California officer that Scott carried
gun and would resist arrest. When
they got to the Gilman place they went
to the house and searched SCOTS
grip to ascertain If 1t contained a gun.
They were informed by Mrs. Gilman
that Scott had small grip with him
in the field. They drove to the hay
field and Mr.. Hall decided to secure
the grip first, which they found near
a hay stack. Scott was running
mower and Sheriff Hall got Mr.. Gil
man to introduce them.
n Sensational Arrest.
The introduction was the means of
a slightly sensational arrest. AS the
sheriff and Scott shook hands the
sheriff grasped his other arm in his
left hand while Deputy Harding put
on the hand cuffs. Scott was taken
so by surprise ne had not the fore
thought to resist and submitted grace
fully to the arrest. He will be kept
here until the California sheriff ar
rives with proper requisitioin.
Scott, or Boazley, is AZ years of
age, we'll built and appears to be
man of intelligence.

Omaha, Aug. 21.-"There is no bro
ken engagement and that is the
straight of it," said Edward l. Cudahy,

and then we will go on to Mackinac,
where the folks are spending: the sam
mer.
"Talk is All Bosh."
There has been good deal said
about my engagement to Miss Brewer
and report has been widely circu-

friction between us or between our
families.

an attack of the grip, brought on by
the beastly climate, and right now ]
am far from being a well man.
1.-The reports that appeared in the
papers caused Miss Brewer and my
self much annoyance. 1t was an af-
fair of our own and nothing that con-
cerned the public. You may say for
me that there is not word Of truth
in any of the stories. When go to
California again l shall give due and
ample notice, as 1t is apparent that
the public has a deep interest in my
movements"
Is "indefinitely Postponed"
A number of Omaha people had
made all arrangements to attend the
wedding and the postponement came
as something of a shock, the only in
formation being contained in tele-
gram to an intimate friend of the
Cudahy family, simply saying:
wedding indefinitely postponed. No
tify friends"
Miss Brewer is described as beau
| tiful girl and highly accomplished.
She belongs to one of the first families

CAUGHT In His Own Trap.

Wayne Democrat: A farmer from
north of Randolph named Maybe shot
his left hand off Tuesday evening in a
most peculiar manner and, accompa-
MED by DR.. Kerley of Randolph. was
taken to hospital in Sioux City yes
terday morning for an operation. May.
be told the Democrat that he set a
trap, with a shotgun, for the purpose
of getting neighbours boy, whom he
suspected of poisoning his stock. He
got the string on the trigger little
too tight and the gun went off while
arranging 1t, doing Maybe no injury.
He then fixed the thing just right and
went around the barn to see where the
shot had struck the building. Here Is
where Maybe went wrong, for he at
once had bad slip in his think appa-
ratus forgot all about the trap in 60
ing back and ran right into it. The
string worked perfectly and the shot
just grazed his stomach, and his left
hand, being slightly extended, the
whole charge caught him in the wrist,
tearing off the thumb and first fingers
and Kidding the whole hand. DR.. Ker-
ley stated that amputation would be
necessary. Maybe said the boy in
question had been put out Of school
and he (Maybe) was blamed for it.
He had lost two steers and one hog,
evidently poisoned, and he had sat up
all night for weeks trying to catch the
suspected parties until worn out, and
the gun trap was the solution. Maybe
took desperate chances, and most peo-
pie would agree that he got disas-
trous but merited lesson.

all credit is due Messrs. b. j. Ryan, J.

able to give exact figures as to the
surplus derived at the close of this
race meet, it is currently reported,
however, by members of those inter-
ested, that the mark of $500 that was
anticipated to turn over TO the park
fund will be fully realized.

he was not accorded protection by the

they were not placed in the judges
stand to protect any horse from Sc

Woodford did not race in Neigh.
