Judge Has Girl Ride
Horse to Decide if
It's Unmanageable
Bismarck Adjourns Court to Have q
Horse Tried Out on Six
teenth Street.

Judge William Altstadt entertained an
Interested audience Wednesday when he
held an out-of- doors session OF court, a
part OF which consisted OF a very pretty
sirl riding a supposedly unruly horse along
Sixteenth street between Farnam and
Douglas. The case the Judge was deciding
was that OF Captain w. Kiddle Of the Sal
walton Army against one Louis Summers,
and consisted Of divergence Of opinion as
to who was the right ana lawtn owner Of
one brown horse.
As far as could be determined from the
tangled evidence entered at Judge Alt
stadts court the horse had two OF these
same right and lawful owners. but another
question arose in the course OF the trial
Was or was not the horse vicious?
The question was met by Little Bis
marck' in his usual definite manner. The
only way in witch to tell whether that
horse was unruly. and perhaps unmansge-
able by a woman was to have a woman
ride him. So said. 80 done
A pretty girl clerk was obtained. who
averred that unruly horses we're her fear
and dread, but in the cause of justice she
would do anything. Forthwith she mounted
the horse and it must ne admitted that
nothing meeker than that said equine speci-
man was ever seen on the streets of
Omaha. The only thing that would have
frightened him would have been the fear
Of losing a feed.
The "schudge" and his entire court and
all the witnesses were present TO look on
the riding episode and from the crowd that
appeared, bystanders appreciated the sight
also.

Pegg Has Ordinances
On Methods of Peddlers
Inspector of Weights and Measures
Would Revolutionize the
Business.

II John Grant Pegg, inspector of weights
and measures, gets ordinances through the
city council which he has drawn the re-
tail grocery business OF Omaha will be
revolutionized. as will the methods en-
ployed by hueksters, truckmen and in fact
all peddlers who do business in the city
Pegg has drawn a bunch of ordinances
which cover every conceivable business
among the retail men. Chief among these
is one which provides that all merchants
must stamp the amount. the character and
the price Of the article on each package
sent out 1t also provides that the in
spector shall have the power to stop any
delivery wagon and verify the weights as
stamped on the packages.
Pegg has another ordinance which prac-
ically prohibits the sale OF coal by the
basket. Heretofore. 1t has been customary
among small dealers to poodle coal by the
basket, irrespective of the amount, but
the new ordinance provides that the net
weight Of the coal contained must be
stamped on the basket in plain figures.
He has a similar ordinance for baled hay.
The inspector has come to the rescue of
the housewife with an ordinance which
makes II a misdemeanor for any truckman
or peddler to refuse to weigh OF measure
any provisions which have been bought.
Pegg says that many peddlers will not sell
to women unless the purchasers take Ike
article as It stands. Pegg thinks pur-
chasers should know how much they are
getting.

Navarro. during the iris. was compelled
to repair twenty-five bridges and culverts
which had been blown up or wrecked by the
insurrcetos.
The arrival marks the end Of the Juarez
campaign. Orozco and the other rebel chiefs
are scattered east and south OF here.
II is impossible to conjecture what will
be the next move on either side.
An hour after his arrival. General Nav
AFRO was escorted to the custom house,
where the Taft-Dlaz meeting occurred.
Here he received members Of Colonel Ra-
bago's staff and citizens generally. among
them a number Of women.
He appeared rugged and hearty Since
the beginning OF the campaign he has
raised full set of white whiskers. His
first official act was to write a telegram to
President Diaz reporting his entry into
Juarez.
Journey without Incident.
Colonel Cullar, aide-de- camp to President
Diaz and a member OF General Navarro's
staff. said the trip from Chihuahua, dis
lance Of 200 miles, had been made without
unusual incident. He declined to be inter
viewed. saying: 1t Is against order for
officers to give out information. The press
has used us very badly. you know"
Two hundred insuTrectos were at Quad
aloupe today, where the new capital had
been established. Orozco was at Samalay-
auca this afternoon, but he had decamped
when Navarro arrived.
The federal troops Travelled on two trains,
preceded by a construction train. Their
arrival was almost without warning. There
have been so many false rumors Of his ad-
vent that little attention was paid to re-
ports this afternoon the he would be in this
evening.
InsurrectOs Lose Hope.
The insurrectos are downhearted tonight.
Orozco has accomplished nothing since the
insurrection began three months ago, save
to depress business. The Juarez campaign
has been a miserable fiasco. Even the
leaders of the junta admit this. Had
orozco proceeded with energy and taken

moral effect would have been great and
no doubt would have added much to his
