were able TO go about their work in a
thorough and systematic manner with
all the time in the world and practical
ly no fear of interruption.

Mr.. Schroeder did not return to his
home until 9:15 and Immediately noti
fed the police, who are working or

YEARNS FOR A FIGHT
Other OamseI Issues Forth Into Street
Armed With an Axe-Case
Continued.

Angered because two neighbor
women sat at the window and openly
snickered when she invited a white
man into her house and remained for
several minutes, Nellie Welch, black
as the ace of spades, weight 300
pounds, yesterday afternoon armed
herself with a revolver and started
after her deriders with a view TO an
Initiating them. The parties with the
bump of humor both of whom are vel
known in police circles, were Cora
Mack and Fannie Lane, the latter
alleged TO be the woman who murder
I'd man in Moline some time ago
They are Colored.
Cora sWOre out a warrant against
Nellie, and then that corpulent indi-
vidual came back strong and accused
the Mack woman of leading an i'm
moral life. The case was continued
until tomorrow morning and both are
being held under bonds of $500.
FEELINGS HURT.
Cora Mack said she was seated in
the window and watched Nellie go in
20 her house with the white man and
laughed, whereupOn, after the visitor
had departed, the hostess got out a
revolver and invited them 10 come
down and do battle, claiming that she
would get them. Then desiring to
telephone the police for protection,
Cora picked up young axe and start
ed down the steps with the object
Of her ridicule following her. Cora
says she was just going to return the
axe 10 a neighbor from whom she had
borrowed il that morning, and that
she had no intention of using it as
p aything.
The WEIGH woman made strong
charges against Cora, whom the police
have been watching for some time but
have been unable 10 catch with the
goods. Witnesses will be on hand
tomorrow and the matter thoroughly
Jhreshed out.

IS NOW IN COUNTY JAIL
Gives Full Weight to BusheI but Slips
Up on the Number Or
dered.

Joseph E. Gilbert, a vender of po-
tatoes. has discovered an abrupt thor
Cughfare to affluence which makes the
articles employed at the Monte Car
10 palace of fortune resemble the low
ly efforts of a shell game operator
with a one horse carnival His
wealth accommodating ventures were
brought to a hurried conclusion yes
terday, however, when a strong armed
miniOn of the law seized him by the
nape of the neck and escorted him to
the city bastile. This morning he was
held under $500 bonds and his case
continued. 1t is Likely that a charge
of obtaining money by false pretenses
will be preferred against him.
NICE SCHEME.
Gilbert is selling for Max Jeppey.
who was unaware of the fact that his
employe was direct descendant of
the famous Ali Babba. Gilbert has
been in the habit of approaching a
house wife, taking the order for say
six bushels, and then carrying in but
five, after which he would announce
that the last basket was No. g. Owing
to the fact that the potatoes were
dumped in one pile, the lady of the
house has had no method of proving
her case, and has dismissed it with
the thought that she has made a mis-
take. Gilbert tried the game on Mrs
Oliver p, Olson, 1907 Forty-fourth
street, yesterday. Also the same stunt
was worked on Mrs. George Connel,
just across the street. A complaint
was registered with the police, and
both men hauled 10 the station. Jep
py was dismissed upon payment OF
costs, but Gilbert will receive atten-
lion later.

MAXELL RETAINS OFFICE
y ON RECOUNT OF VOTES

AXTELL, Neb., Jan. ls.-(special) THE
action brought by E. J. Palmblade
against A. p. Maxell to recount the votes
cast for the office OF road overseer for
Mirage township was concluded at the
county seat yesterday. The county Judge
found for Z. p. Maxell, who was
originally declared elected. Mr.. Palm
blaze was the regular republican NOM
nee and Holster Close the regular dem
ocratlc nominee. The voters wrote in the
name Of A. p. MaxeIl, but many Of them
.ailed to put cross in the square oppo-
site his name. The election board counted
these names and thereby gave Maxell
majority Of twenty-one. Upon a recount
before the county judge this was reduced
10 ten. One peculiar feature Of the case
which was not decided was that both
Msxen and Palmblade were residents of
the incorporated Village OF Axtell and
outside Of the road district for which they
were candidates.
