GROSS WILL FIGHT CASE
Young Man Accused of Taking Cam
era Backed by Prospective
Father-in-Law.

HASTINGS, Neb., Aug. 20.-(Special
Telegram.) Arthur Gross. a professed
ranch owner and ex-mcmber of the Saw
age Grand Opera company, entered plea
of not guilty when arraigned in county
court today on a charge of stealing a
camera here. He was released on $1,000
bail given by his father, J. w. Cross Of
Omaha and his prospective father-in-law,
Walter r. Dean OF Minden. Trial was
set for September 20.
Gross was recently bound over in Min
den on a similar charge and released
on 5000 bail given by Mr.. Dean. When
rearrested on the Hastings charge he
broke away from the Minden sheriff, who
fired three shots at him, none taking eff
feet He was recaptured at Holdrege
and when brought to Hastings Mr.. Dean
and Miss Grace Dean, his fiance, boarded
the train at Minden and rode with him
TO this city.
Gross was employed as singer in a
moving picture theater here last winter.
He afterwards filled a similar engage
ment at Casper, Wyo. But he has put
in most of this summer with the Dean
family at Minden taking pictures with
the camera he is alleged to have taken
there. Mr.. Dean is possessed of consid-
cradle means. He and his daughter say
they have entire confidence in Gross

SOME MODERN WITCHCRAFT
Pat on n Commercial Basis and Flour
ishes Among Many Diff
Glasses.

Modern "witchcraft" plays a prominent
part in the life of New York City, but
every once in a while the arrest OF some
person charged with practicing the old
fashioned kind proves that there are many
perosns, especially women, who pretend to
be possessed OF a mysterious power which
enables them to produce wholesale quaint
ties OF good or evil These twentieth CEN
fury witches ply their trade among the ig-
norant classes and manage TO make a very
comfortable living by promising to unleash
whole battalons of little devils" II their
credulous patrons fall to cross their palms
with money.
In the olden days when burning witches
at the stake was rather popular outdoor
sport, the bewitching business was not
tainted by commercialism. The Ratchet
faced wisps OF women charged with rid
ing broomsticks. jumping in and out of
chimneys and screaming through keyholes,
to the horror OF the early settlers, made
no attempt to hold up those with whom
they came In contact. They carried on in
such a scandalous manner for pure love OF
the game. but nowadays one gets little at
tentlon from the modern witches unless
one has money enough to make It worth
the while.
While the original witches looked like
halrplns, the women vino have succeeded
them are generally in the heavyweight
class. II would be impossible TO burn
them at stake, even II such punishment
were stlll In style. Nothing short OF a
roundhouse would do for an anchorage
But the only thing they have to fear is
the medical societies, which get after them
for praotleing medicine without license

DICK GREEN'S STRANGE DREAM
COIOred Messengers PremOnItiOn of
the Death of John G.
Carlisle.

Those who have faith in the premonitions
Of dream will find some solace In the ex-
perience of Richard Green, for nearly fifty
years head messenger to the secretary OF
the treasury, and the personal friend OF
every man who has held that office in his
time. OF the long line of secretaries of
the treasury who have served in Green's
day perhaps none was so fond of Dick, -
as he is best known, as the late John G.
Carlisle. secretary of the treasury under
Grover Cleveland.
In the absence of Secretary MacVeaSh
from Washi gton. "Dick's" present per-
sonal charge is Robert o. Bailey, the pri-
vate secretary of the secretary Dick be-
gins his daily duties by preparing break
fast for Mr.. Bailey, having learned to
cook in "old virginny" when he was a
boy and was known to the slaves on the
plantation where ne lived as the "son of
fore Mr.. Carlisle died In New York Dick
remarked one morning at breakfast:
"Misteh Bailey, Use nightly troubled"
Why what's the matter, Dick?" inquired
the private secretary
We'll, sah," said Dick, 1T had bad
dream last night. and I jes' can't cit
over IT,"
What was 1t, Dick?' Mr. Bailey in
quired.
well. sab, dreamed a membah Of the
cabinet and died, and dey was burying
him in Washington"
who was 1t DickT' asked Mr.. Bailey.
Oats jes what's troublin' me-" said
Dick. II can see 1t all jes' as plain as day,
but can't make out who's dead"
Three DAYS later Dick received a tale
phone message from the Carlisle family
in New York notifying him that Mr.. Car
Isle was dead and asking him to open up
the Carlisle home in Washington In prepa-
ration for the funeral. The grief of Dick
was pathetic, He attended personally to
many OF the funeral arrangements and had
entire charge OF the house while the family
was In Washington. After the funeral was
over he returned to the service of Mr.. Bal
ley, That night he soberiy remarked at
dinner:
"Mlsteh Bailey. do you remember that
dream l told you about?"
Mr. Bailey. who had forgotten all about
the dream, looked up in surprised sort OF
way and recalled what Dick had told him.
well, sab. dat funeral yesterday was jes
exactly lax my dream"
John G.. Carlisle never came TO Wash
lngton in recent years without making a
personal call on Dick.
Hello, Dick. how are you? AS long as
live Dick. you will never want for a
friend" was the customary salutatlon 20
