ARREST CRlsMoRE AGAIN.
Wife Charges That He Enters His
Home and Abuses Her,


William CrsmOre, who was arrest
ed last week charged by his wife with
threatening to injure her and destroy
property, was again arrested this
morning by Constable Finkhouse.
Crismore is charged with the same
offense by his wife. Late last night
Mrs. Crsmore telephoned the police
that her husband, who had promised
to keep away from his home until his
case could be looked into by the COun-
ty attorney, had entered the house
and was abusing her. Constable
Finkhouse, under whose charge Girls
more was placed, was notified, but
efforts of that Official to find Crismore
during the night We're unsuccessful.
He made the arrest, however, this
morning, finding Crismore at the eat,
ing house at the Junction. CrismOre
told the officer that he found a man in
his home when he came there and
that he had not abused his wife,
County Attorney Nichols is in the
city and will take up Crismore's case
today.
Last week Crismore was released
from the Niobrara Jail where he was
confined, being charged with assault
His physical condition induced the
Niobrara officials to release him,
When Crismore was taken before
Judge Lambert Tuesday morning it
was decided by County Attorney Mich.
OILS, who is prosecuting, and Jack
Koenigstein, who is appearing for Mrs
Crismore that the case be continued
until . o'clock Wednesday morning
Up to this time Crismore had not sc.
cured the services of an attorney.

BEHIND THE SENATE SCENES.
Repartee That Delights the Galleries
Often Rehearsed.

OllGIl HtIlSdlSSus
Washington Feb. Z. - Plays, we'd
dings, coronations and most cere-
monies are first rehearsed in private.
Why, therefore, should not two sena-
tors, while ostensibly opponents, con
fer in the coakroOm before meeting in
debate on the floor? That senatorial
courtesy extends SO far seems 20 be
borne out by scenes often seen in the
senate when the apt replies ELECTED
in eXtcmpuraneous debate bring de.
light to the galleries and rejoicing to
the folks at home, who are not in
formed as to the stagecraft sometimes
employed in the senate.
Senators are not necessarily more
gifted in the way of repartee than 9th
er mortals when taken by surprise
as the Record shows. In q recent de-
bate in the senate over the boundary
lines between Texas and New Mexico,
the following Colloquy occurred be-
tween Senator Hepburn and Senator
Bailey;
Mr.. Bailey-The senator, of course
justities his position by showing he
knows nothing about the case.
Mr.. Heyburn-Who does?
Mr.. Bailey-The senator from Ida
no.
Mr.. Heyburn-That is rather fresh
statement, saying that | know nothing
about the case.
Mr.. Bailey-Absolutel nothing.
Mr.. Heyburn-T do know something
about the case. If the senator knows
more, it will be a duty devolving upon
him to make the senate aware of that
fact.
There was an excellent opening for
Mr.. Bailey, who frequently doesn't
wait for duty deyolving upon him"
to make the senate aware of things
he knows. But Mr.. Bailey sat down.
But what is to be said of an eX-
change that occurred between two SEN
ators when one repeated verbatim a
long paragraph from not very wide
ly known book from which the other
was reading? The two senators were
engaged in a colloquy when one at
tempted to clinch his argument by
reading from the book in question a
statement which apparently left his
opponent no ground to stand upon.
The senator who was being crushed
listened patiently and then said bland.
ly:
"Ah will the senator please read
the next paragraph"
No, the senator wouldn't. He didn't
see what that had to do with it.
Then, with the senator's permits
sion, he would himself attempt, In his
poor, weak way, to apprise the SEN
ate, from his own imperfect memory,
what the language of that next para
graph was.
Whereupon he repeated it word for
word
The senate gasped, the galleries
marveled and the triumphant senator
sat down, understanding we'll enough
that in the general admiration for his
feat of memory his auditors would not
stop to consider whether the para
graph in question had any bearing
whatever upon the argument in point

Fremont Wants Norfolk in It.

Fremont Tribune: Whether York
will be admitted to the state league in
place of Red Cloud will depend on the
result of a vote being taken this week
among the clubs now holding fran
chises. President Sieyers has sent out
from Grand Island ballots to seven
clubs at Fremont, Columbus, Hastings
Grand Island, Kearney Seward and
Superior with the request that they
vote for or against admitting York.
Fremont will probably cast its vote
for York, though the local manage
ment would rather see Norfolk get
Red Clouds franchise, according to
one of the directors. Fremont has the
best train connections with Norfolk
while the champs would often have to
take a roundabout trip to reach York
Then, too, the Fremont directors feel
that FremOnts interests i'm the league
would be better subserved if a town
i'm the northern part of the state sue
ceeded Red Cloud.
The result of the voting will prob
ably be known by the end of the week
