Arrest of toe Notorions Sim Warn in Montana, Passes Through Omaha 1In Oharge of Three Deputy 8her- iMfs—A Bloddy Record, Yesterdsy morning there was a queer processlon seen advancing from St. Paul depot. The foremost figure was Deputy Sheriff Jim Conley, of Miles City, Dakota. Ho was followed by Deputy Foreman of Rawline, Wyoming, and Deputy Ordway, aleo of Wyomlng, heavily armed, and leading a prisoner, Charley Wright, alias Jack Watts, alias Slm Wann, who is one of the most noted desperadoes and horse thleves In the western country. Wann {s & well bullt man, about 5 feet 10 inches high, with light mustache and hard grey eyes, and a general tough look about him which ls not all prepossessing., The depaties ercorted thelr prisoner to the county jall where they left him dorlng the day. They left last night on the overland traln on the Unlon Pacific for Carbon county, Wyoming, where Wann Is to have his trial, A NOTED CRIMINAL, As already Intimated, Wann Is a crim. inal of the mostdangerous class, Hlis trall has been one of blood through Colorado, Wyomlng, Dakota and Montans, his career one of the most reckless and dar- ing which frontier life can produce. THE CRIME for which he is held was committed In August, 1878, The erland passengor tram on the Union Paclfic stopped one night, and an tempt was made to rob It by Wann and his six men. They were driven off, however, and wore compelled to give up the attempt. The next day the sherlff and a posse of deput{zad men commenced searching for the gang, and at length met them and had a lively set-to with them, Two men of the gang were killed on the spot, and two of the sheriffs posse were likewise shot down by the despsradoes. Shortly after that Wanu fled feom the county as did his pals. A few months later one ¢f the gang, “*Datch Charley,” was caught and when taken to Carbon county waslynched by an Infuriated mob. About two years ago, another one of the gang *‘Bignosed George'’ otherwiso known as Georys Par- 'rot, was captared, tried and sentenced In Carbon county for compllcity In the crime, He urled to excape from prison by shooting the jailor but was captured by the mob and Iynched. About two months ago, Deputy Conley got on the track of Wann who was ter- rorlzivg the northern part of Montans. He succeeded in arresting him and held him on a charge of horse steallng until requisition papers could be chiained. A few days 830 everything was In readinees, the papers were made, and Conley, Foremen and Ordman started out with their prisoner, bring- iog him around by way of St. Paul. They do not anticipate that they will be able to get him through to Carbon coun- ty, Wyo , safely, but are inclined to be- leve that he will be lynched, as public sentiment {s very pronounced against him. *‘Infact,” sald Doputy Conley, ‘I don’t care very much whether they kill him or not—he cerialnly deserves it.” The people of Wyomlnog, Montana and Dakota will breathe freer when Wann and his gang are disposed of, if such a thing Is ever accomplished. One of their teats last fall was to kill, in a hand-to- hand fight with a posse of vigilantes, a number of men, Iz the Milk River conn- try. ‘Wann protests that he s not the man who was {mplicated In the double mur- der. Hesays that his brother, who is now at large, is the man who led the gang. His story, however, is not be- lleved, as the identlfication of him is complete and perfectiy satlsfactory. THE NEW PLAN. Oalifornia. A reporter for the BEE met him sud had a few moment's talk with him, ‘‘Janauschek,” sald Mr, C,, “lsin Oslifornia, well and happy. She Is rest- Ing now from her arduous labors of the past season, and expects to open up in 'Frlsco about September 1. N, she will not go esst, preferring to spend her vacation on the “'Golden Slope.” Janau- acheck wae well pleased with the way the people of Califurala recelved her, and well she may be, for she met with a most enthuslastic reception,” ‘Wl she produce any new play next season ” “‘1 bellave ehe will confine herself to her old repertoire, ‘My Lifo,” belng, of cours>, her principal piece. No, Jan- aschek will not cross the water fora oomber of years to come—she is tco mach pleased with America, You know she has become thoroughly American- fzed, and owns & great deal of property In this country,” Mr. Chaplin will vislt In the east for about a month and will then return to California {n tlme to open the engage- ment with the atar In 'Frlsco, about Septomber 1st. The company will tken play eastward Nebraska Loan and Building Asso- ation, Subreriptions can now be made for shares in the firat eerles by applylng to the eecretary’s office with Jeff W, Bad- ford, 213 South Fourteenth street. The paymenta are made monthly at rate of one dollar per share, Oat of town partles wishing to sub- scribe for ehares in the Nebraska Loan and Building Assoclation can do so by communicating with Secretary F, Borthwick, 213 South Fourteenth Street Omaha, who will be peated to furnish any Information desired For Trade.—Nance county lands for steck of general merchandiee or hard- ware.

The proposed innovation furthermore aimed to secure a constant and correct system of house numbers, and to correct the confusion arising from the Inequality In the width of blocks in the different additions, and the application of names and numbers to the streets In every addition by the owners, Instead of by one person representing In authority the city. City E:g'neer Resewater's vlews upon the matter are expressed in the following recommendatlons now under considera- atlon: **That & complete change be made up- on the basls of 364 feet from center to center for streets west of Twenty third street, and the application of numer: to Intermedlate sireots. Thus a street falling within the space of Twenty-third snd Twenty-fourth streets wou'd be termed 2d 231, 3d 23, 4th 23d, Hth 23d and Gh 23 street up to Twenty-fourth street. Tous the number of a street would always be sure Index of the exact “sltion. 1In order to attaln uniformlity in the esst and west streets I would ap- ply the term *'streets” only to the north and south streets, “‘avenues” to the east d westetreets, and in the place of pames apply numbers to them, taking Dodge avenue s the base, calllog etreets north lst, 2d, 34 avenues north, and streets south as lst, 2d, 3d avenues south, ete, By this plan the name of the street glyen would both {ndlcate its direotion aud relative distance from any desired point, The numbers of hous:s based upon thls eystem of names of strzets and avenu once recorded upon s plat embracing tlons of = mile equare, could be readily furnished from the office without devia- ton, The labor of carrying out such a plan would oceupy the time of & draughts- man three to four months and would then requlre a genersl ordinance specifylng the changes in numbers and names In do- tall 80 a8 to keep a record of reference In relatlon to any actlon heretofore taken in rr’\mnco to any particular street in the city. I will fcr convenience apply the rame rule to alleys, calling the east and west ones ‘‘alleys” and the north and south ones “lanes” upon the same plan as strests. Photo-lithographic coples of theee plats would cost but very little and by free distelbation of such plats by the city the plan would soon be understood and practically enforced. With such a system there could be no repetition of names of streets, alleys or lanes and the councll committee would have no dificnlty In properly locating addltions.” OOUNTY FUNDS, The Semi-annual Report of Treasurer Rush-Interesting Items Culled, County Tressurer Rash and his assist~ ant Deputy Rhodescompleted yesterday a long and arducus task, upon which they have been laboring for the past four woeks—that of compillng the seml. annual report of collestions and payments In all the county funds, They havs been for the past few days engaged in looking up an error of 10 cents In the balance sheet, which has at length, after consid- erable trouble, been located.

Total amount of monsy pald out during firat six monthe, $226,615 03. Total amount on hand July 1, 1875, iu all funds, $127,268 79. In this connection, it might be men- tloned that the above total receip's in- clude $685.25 turned over by William F, Helue, as & part payment on his dcficlt. Under the law of 1884, the amount of balance in the fee fund should have been transferred to the county general fund, bat by the instructlon of the county com- missoners, Mr. Rush did ot make the transfer, bacause that law compelled the county treasurer to colloct two years’ taxes in ons year, and the following law of 1880 was euch that no collection would be made during the year of 1885, Hence there would be no fees durlpg the year to amount to anything, and this balance is retalned In the fee fund to pay the county officers with. 1t is said that at the end of this year, barring all fee collections during the last slx months cf the yesr, there will still be a balance of $1,634 30 to transfer to the county general fund, which 1s more than all the other county officers together will tarn over to this fund. e — A River Trip to Omaha, Laramie Boomerang, Brutus Buchanan, a young maa who recently came hers from (!All’fumh. and who has been working at Woods & Pot- ter's saw mills, has constructed for him- self a boat in which he proposes to make the tr'p through by water to the Missourl river. This is a feat never before under- taken, and one that s full of perll, It 135 mlles from here to Fort Laramle, the river msking a wide detour to get around the Black Hills, From thero It s about 500 o8 to Pla‘tsmouth, Mr. Buchanan says he makes the trip in this way to save money and gee the country. That he has more time than money and has hls crafc well- provisioned for the trip. The bold navi- gator, who ballt this boat in the moun- talns, was capsized once in mskiog his way to this city, where the craft is now lylog, and it 18 hopad that the old rale that “‘a bad tegluning has a good ending” may prezerve him from more serlous acel- dents along the route 1,580 1,589 — ~There is great consternation just now among & certain class of loatbsome individuals known as plmps, who invest Omaha in consid- erable nuwbers, because of & determination on the part of Marshal Ouwwiogs to rid the city of their yile presense, Already several nave bsen compelled to get out and seek more congenial location, BETH ARD'S EEGGING. It Inclines Judge Dundy to be Lenient ~He tells His Story. There was a perceptible smile playing ver Judge Dundy's faco yesterday as he arralgned G. H. Bothard, the obscene letter writer, for pleading In, the United States court. He evidently had It not in hls heart to be hard on the poor fellow, aa developments showed. Bethard announced that he wanted to change his plea of ‘‘not gullty,” entered Iast night, to one of ‘‘gullty,” of writing the obscene lotters to Dr. Plerne, of Urbana. Befcro belng sentenced, how- ever, he asked for the privilege of mak Ing a few moment's speech, In explana- tlon “‘I don’t want to make any long-winded talk, your honor,” he explained, “or to dlsplay my powers of eloqaence, 1 want to tell you the story of my life, so that you can see that there are some mitigat- Ing clreumstances In connection with my orime. Your honor, I was loft to shift for myself when I was ten years old, worked my way throuch college by saw-. iog wood, then studled law, and finally took to the ministry. I soon became a member of the Clnclnnati conference. It was here that I met the Rev. Poarne, to whom 1 wrote those letters that bave got me into trouble. He took steps that drove me out of the minlatry. T had to leave Ohlo and came out to Nebraske, where I set- tled down and practiced law. 1 gotsome money together, and golng back to Ur- bana, marrled a lady who was a member of Dr. Pearne’s church, and whomI sup- posed to be virtnous, It wasn't two weeks before I dlacovered that my wife was falthless, aud that Dr. Pearne was the I came to Nebracka and In an insane moment penned those letters,” Bethard then closed with an elcquent appeal for mercy on the score of hls Are You About to Take Your VACATION If so do not start out on the trip without some of those fine Flor De Valencia cigars. DUPLICATE them away from home. Fine they will add greatly to your pleasure. You CANNOT They are so Do not take the chances of getting something that will not give you satisfaction having been an old soldier who fought for “‘home, country, and liberty."” Judge Dundy sald something about his having a soft spot in his heart for old “I guess I'll be lenlent with he remarked. “‘I'll fine you $200 on one count, and allow you to plead not gnllty on the other, holding you under $500 bond to apposr at the next term of court, But don’t write any such letters agaln,” “I promise you most solemnly judge that 1 never shall,” said Bethard as he fumbled for his hat, *‘Most golemnly, 1 never shall.” Bethard has been released on his own recoguizance. Red Cloud as a Growler, To the Editor of the Bxk, In youradmirable editorial inWedneeda evening’s paper in regard to the Inter- minabie Investigation which eastern cranks have subjected Agent McGlllicuddy to, you make a mistake in referring to that old fraud, Red Cloud, as having been de- posed as chief cf all the Sloux and Spot- _[ted Tall given that posttion by Gen. Crook. The fact s that when the treaty of 1868 wss held by the commiesion known as the Gen, Sherman commlssion, 01d-Man-Afraid of-His- Horses was chief 2|of the Ogallala Stoux and Red Cloud was a war chief, then out on the war path $|and refusing to come in and attend the councils. Old-Man-Afrsid-of His-Horees wan specially desirous that his people should be st peace with the whites and 22| proposed that ranners skoold be sent out to bring Red Cloud In, offwring to allow that restless old scamp to bo made chief of the tribe, as a condition for his making a treaty. This was doce and since that ) time he has been chief of the Ogallalas, Spotted Tall being chief of the Brule Sioux, the agency buildings of the two tribes being only a few miles apart. Red Cloud has always been uvpopular with his people, snd now that Young-Man- Afrald has grown up he bas much more Influence with them than the actual chlef, Young-Man-Afrald being an under chief. The latter Is & man of broad and liberal Idess, his father being & man of superior intelligence, and both have been the steady friends of the whites Inevery effort to improve the conditlon of the Indians, Dr. J. J. Saville, now a resldert of Omaha, was for meny years sgent for the Ogallalas, whom he served with unusual ability and zes’, but he foll a victim of the Investigatitg epirit ( f eastern ignor- amutes and was forccd to give up the positlon. [lo has resson to know the worthl 55 ctaracter of Red Cloud and will exdorse all that may bo said s to his interferenco with all measures tending to lmprove the condition of the tribe. J. T.
