Gypsies Held Up the Mayor.

Mayor w. Fl. Laub had an UNI
pleasant and aggravating experience
with some gypsy campers who were
encamped near the site of the old
Cornwell mill near Denison on 4th
of July morning. Mr.. Laub was
driving a buggy to the country to get
some parties when he passed the
spot where the campers were. AS
he came up to them two of the wo-
men accosted him and asked for
matches. He handed them a couple
and then one of them grabbed his
wrist and began the form Of telling
his fortune by reading his palm. He
told her to get out, and then he
found the other woman in his buggy
and before he knew how she did it..
she had taken the pocketbook from
his pocket and had it open, the bills
and change falling out into the bug
gy. Each woman grabbed some of
the money and Mr.. Laub had a strug-
gle with them to get it back He
thinks he got it all but fifty or sew
enty-five cents and then throwing the
women out of his way he started
on, the men of the camp then COM
ing toward him. He warned them
to stop and they let him pass.

GRUMMANN LECTURES
ABOUT OPERA THEMES

The eighth lecture in the series which
Prof. Paul Grummann is giving at the
Young Women's Christian association
was delivered yesterday afternoon and
the subject OF the first hour was "Lokl.
Vulcan, Hephaistos," while the second
hour was given up to a consideration Of
the Interpretation OF the Tristan and
Isolde story.
In the first hour the lecturer went into
the subject Of demonology and drew many
illustrations from various myths agreeing
in underlying ideas. The prevalent ideas
about Gothic architecture were given a
gentle but firm touching up. Prof. Grum-
mann contended that the steeplos Of
churches were to penetrate into the realm
Of alr-spirits who were to be frightened
away by the bells and that the style
was not modelled after the temples OF
nature" the groves. bat to give a COW
cred place to worship, with the least pos
sible interruption OF pillars.
The lecture on Tristan and Isolde
showed that the lecturer had gone care
fully into the sources of the story and
his distinction between the story of Gott-
fried Won Strassburgh and that used by
Richard Wagner was given with thor
oughness and was full of interest
The auditorium was comfortably fillet
downstairs for the second hour.

vailed upon her TO bring her husband in

Judge Scott Fails
to Make a Citizen of
w. J. B. Sherwood

Because of peculiar ideas regarding
naturalization of the late District Judge
Cunningham r, Scott of Omaha, william
]. Il. Sherwood of Lansing, Mich, may
find that he never has been naturalized
and for seventeen years has voted and
has enjoyed all the other privileges of an
American citizen, while he has been a
Canadian subject.
In response to a request Of Sherwood for
a certificate of his admission to citizen
ship Asel Steere, chief deputy clerk of the
district court, has made an examination
OF the naturalization records, which re-
veals that sherwood's admission-if he
ever was admitted -never has been en-
tered in the court journal.
In his letter to the clerk of the district
court Sherwood says he was admitted to
citizenship by Judge Scott in 1894. At that
time he was a resident of Omaha, con-
Quoting a school of teiegraphy.
Under present laws naturalization mat
tiers are in charge of the United States
Department of Commerce and Labor,
which delegates the naturalization powers
to district courts Throughout the coun-
try. In those day the district courts had
full power to naturalize. Judge Scott was
of the peculiar opinion that the judges
themselves must attend to all the details
of naturalization, district court clerks and
deputies not being permitted to do the
clerical work.
Mr.. Steeres investigation shows that
in the Sherwood case Judge Scott entered
on the affidavit book the affidavIts Of
witnesses that Sherwood had lived in the
United States the required time and also
Sherwoods oath Of allegiance; but there
is no record Of actual admission to citi-
zenship, either on the affidavith book or
the court calendar or in the journal.
Mr.. Steere has advised Sherwood of the
situation and said no will take up the
matter with the Department OF Commerce
and Labor and see what can be done If
Sherwood so desires.
Sherwood's letter does not say why he
desires his citizenship certificate at this
time.

CHRIS SHARB INJURED
WHEN CAR MAKES MOVE

Chris Sharb, address unknown, had not
a place to lay his head. He was sleepy
and so tired that 5000 glasses of thai
universally advertised beverage could not
relieve his fatigue. He asked in the most
pitiful Of tones for. downy couch of
everyone he met. 1t seemed he could not
find a person or an inanimate thing but
that glowered at him and refused him
rest. The telephone posts stepped aside
in disdain when he attempted to lean
against them. The sidewalks seesawed
and whirled him into the gutter when he
lay upon them. And the cutters pushed
and nudged him out when he asked
their cobblestones to be his bedfellows.
The very ground jumped up and slapped
his face when he looked too pleadingly.
So there was nothing for Chris Sharb to
do but walk. At last, staggering weak,
he reached the railroad tracks at Twelfth
and Jones streets. The soft cinders be-
tween the rails seemed quite inviting to
him and box car nearby smiled assent
when he pillowed his head upon a rail-
and stretched his body upon the cinders.
AS he stared up at the box car and
breathed his thanks he heard far down
the tracks the engine beil-the welcoming
chimes OF dreamland. Then the low, de-
liberafe click of wheels upon the rail-
clattered in his ears, growing nearer,
louder and harsher. Sharb looked up al
the box car; 1t frowned and shook with
rage and with a hiss jumped at him.
When Sharb came to in the surgeons
room at the police station, he found that
his cheeks were bruised and he carried
, cut above his right eye. A Union Pa.
: office switch train had moved six inches
in coupling the car. just enough to arouse
sharb. He walked away after the sur
geons dressed his hurts.
