SAN FRANCISCO, July 20
Mounted Policeman Beisel is
nursing a broken finger today
because his sense of propriety was
shocked when he came upon
Henry Bodeman flirting with Mrs.
Bridget Carrigan of 1912 Caro-.
lima street.
The gallant Bodeman was bend
ing low over the blushing Mrs
Carrigan's dimpled hand when
Beisel rode up respondent in his
uniform. For a Mortified instant
he gasped and shouted "Hey
there, this isn't right. That lady
is married. Her husband is a
friend of mine"
$50 is he NINE" replied Bode-
man, "but that isn't your bust
ness. She isn't your wife, is she?'
without more ado Beasel dis
mounted, deliberately tied his
horse and with belligerent mein
advanced upon the alleged flirt
Bodeman drew a revolver and
leveled 1t at Beisel. Keep
away" he warned, this isn't po-
lice work"
Then followed savage fight
Both powerful men rolled over the
pavement, fighting for the posses
sion of the weapon. Beisel broke
his little finger, but finally sue
ceeded in wrenching the revolver
from the grasp of Bodeman.
A moment later Bodeman was
manacled and shortly afterward
was on his way to the police sta.
ton, where he was booked and
charged with resisting an officer

The campaign in Nebraska next
year promises to be the most interest,
ing contest in the history of the state.
It will commence in the primary cam
paign when the prohibitionists in the
democratic party will line up for the
denomination of Governor Shallenber-
ger, and the anti-prohibitionists will
champion the candidacy of Jim Dahl
man. The skirmish lines have al
ready advanced, and an occasional
shot is heard from both sides. The
Shallenberger faction have a trifle
the best Of it At present. The ma
chine built up BY the governor is an
element of strength which the Dahl
NANTES will find strongly intrenched
when the order to charge is given.
But Dshlman and his lieutenants are
6ghters and will doubtless give good
account of themselves when the con.
test warns up. In Platte county the
machine appears to favor Dahlman,

up against strong opp 'sition, and

termed THE B',s-es." that if they
succeed in forcing DAhIman upon the
party the probibi,ionists will bolt him.

to unite on George w. Berge a. q

It was into this narrow thorough

what followed. Capt Hansen jumped

We swept aside the merchandise to
save II from destruction: pushed back
the awnings against the shop fronts.
and then. having made room for the

the next shop. To try to help the
shopkeepers straighten out their tum-

YIELDING UP A SCEPTER.

YIELDING UP A SCEPTER.
There was a dramatic touch of path.
os and of tragedy in that last secret
visit of j. Pierpont Morgan to Edward
Hartman at Arden.
1t was an hour big with the fate of
Wall street and the stocks and nigh.
ty shares of transportation.
With third man present, either
the Petroleum King or that massive
figure of the great Northwest, this
hour upon the terraces of Tower Hill
might have been framed as The Last
Council Of the Triumvirs," who had
partitioned the business of the western
world.
Hartman had fought his last fight,
and he knew it. So long rs the cur
rent Of blood within his veins was
strong enough to feed the heart, the
dauntiess spirit Of the railway king
had been Content to stand alone. He
had not needed help or counsel or con-
ISOLATION anywhere. Only . fortnight
behind him, and with the gray shadow
Of coming dissolution on his face, be
had reused his vast energies for an ex.
piriDg effort, and flung from his lion
name like sheep dogs the hungry stock
gamblers who had thought to gobble
his accumulations in premature divis-
ion.
Once in the lesser years of Harri.
man, Morgan had treated with cavali.
er contempt his offer of aid to stem the
tide Of panic.
And after that Hartman, in reci.
procal disdain, had lightly and easily
torn Morgan's grasp away when it had
fastened iteself expectantly upon the
sick body of the Erie railroad.
But the master of Arden, who saw
oil things clearly and faced things al.
ways Is they were, saw in his lettering
limbs and Pickering pulse the end of
empire and the final lapse of power.
