Tl’ll\lul) A Tlu(,‘l(. Two Sharpers Work an Old Game and Are Arrested. B. E. Douglas and Bill Murray are the names of two individuals registered at the police station last night charged with horse stealing. Both men are well known in certain circles about town as dishonest horse traders who take every opportu- nity to entrap the unwary farmer into a disastrous deal in horseflesh. They at- fompted one of theit tricks yostorday af: ternoon, which resulted in their arrcst as stated. About 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon Douglas and Murray met “Adolph C. Hubbard, a farmer, on the st cvt Jnvinn a flueloukmg brown mare. They ac- costed him and offered to trade him a pair of mules for the animal. Hubbard was willing to trade if the mules were satisfactory, and agreed to look at them. The men thercunon conducted him to & stable owned by Douglas, near the hay market, between Howurd and Jackson lmmt where o pair of mules were shown "After examining them, Hubbard lnid he would trade if the mules would driye all right. The animals were accordingly harnessed ton wagon, but when Hubbird attempted to. drive them they would not move. He then re- fused to frade, but Douglas and Murray said the trade’ was already made, and thoy proposed to keep the ‘mare, ' Hub- ard ordered them to give him the ani- mal, but as they refused he went before Justice Anderson and swore out a plevin for its recovery. The papers w laced in the hands of Con f Houck for service, but when he reached the barn the mare was gone. He ascertained that the animal had peen driven to a sta- ble kept by a man named Flannagan, near Hascall's park. Hoaccordingly visited the stable, but Flannagan refuscd to turn the horse over to the oflicer. Houck reported the matter to J\ulf;u Anderson, and war- rants were immediately issued for the ar- rest of Douglas and Murray. Policeman Haze was given the pap and after a hort search found both men hey were cked up to answer to the rge this morning. A YOUNG uuuTa i THIE [ Ono of the Brown County Gang Cap- i tured in Missouri, Sheriff Murphy, of Ainsworth, Brown . county, this state, arrived in Omaha last * evening having in his mmmlv a 1 old lad named Ed Eme horse stealing. l\“ll“l\hh 50 your * Emery bas been connected for some | time with a gang of ho thieves who ~ have been making extensive depredations in Brown county, having stolen and dis- posed of a number of very valuable ani- mais.

OMAHA. Another Substantial Legal Victory Scored by the City. For the past two or three days the trial of the case of Murphy vs the City of Oma- ha has been in progress before Judg Wakeley. Yesterday morning the case was given to the jury and, after a few mo- ments' deliberation, a verdict was re- turned for the city. The principles in- volved were of more than ordinary inter- est and importance. The claim of the plaintift, Contractor Murphy, was for $7,306.80 and interest from 1883, and was based on alleged ex- g and extra overhaul, on con- 1833, During that year the 'y ulm;i amounted to about )7,804 rds, done under twenty different con- tracts. The same question about the amount to be allowed for overhaul and extra grading would prob- ably have been raised by all the oth- stors who were awaiting the is. sue of this case. And had a settlement been effected with them on the same by sis as demanded by Murphy, the extra cost to the city would have been, for the year 1883 alonie, at least § The plaintiff claimed that thy for overhaul, or e grading, was not allowed in the estimate of the ci cer, and consequently he no remuneration for the extra work done by hin. It was contended on the part of the city that the_rule adopted by the city en- fmum tor estimating the amount of over haul and extra grading was correet, which was torequive all carth to be hauled at least 500 feet before the contractor would be entitled to extra pay for over haul. It was further claimed that even if such rule were not correct, that the parties by the terms of the contract had agreed that the engineer should deter- mine the amount of work to be paid for, and_his estimates should be final. That, furthermore, those estimates could not bé impeached unle willful dishonesty on the part of the city engineer in compl]nw l(-m could be proven. This view of the med by Judge Wak verdict of the jury, a y mllm.\lr\nl was in nccnrt‘.nwo therewith. And thus another substantial victory for the city has been ACOI‘cd lNDXANS AS FARA‘IERS. Something About the Redskins on the Santee Reservation. Lieut. Chase, of the army headquarters, returned yesterday from the Santee Sioux agency, 40 miles above Yankton, on the Missouri river. He went there a day or 80 since to witness the issnance of agri- cultural implements to the Indians on that reservation. ‘““There are now about 1,000 Sioux,' said Lieut. Chase to a reporter, ‘‘with about 200 heads of families. Each one of these men own from three to fifty acres of good land, which they till carefully every year. This time we gave them about lifty new })lnws‘ together with a 'ge number hoes and agricultural u]rl(-mum 2 “Are (lu Indians learning to farm with succes: “Yes, they are gradually ing on to the ways of thoir brothers.

The government has censed issuing food s tions to them and only gives them arti- cles of clothing and agricultural imple- ments." “What do you think about the plan of allowing the Indians to hold lands in title, with rights to dispose of or lease them at plensure?” “At the Flandrean agency, a_few miles from the Santee reservation, this scheme has been tried, and so far'as [ served does not work very well. ull of the lmlix\ns have sold or their property to the white se {in wholly dependent tipon the government.” catch- \\'lulu tively gre: them ary A Baby in the Market. Mary Slavonek, a handsome young Bohemian woman, came before the coun ty commissioners yesterday with a sin- gular plea for assistance. She stated that she had been betrayed by one whose name she would notgive, and that a child had been born to her, for which she was unable to provide. She has been occupied as a servant in various households and public places and she is unable so find employment as as she has the child to care for. She ing at present with her on South Thirteenth street, but the 15 of both are limited and they can y atlord each other fair sustenance, She now wants some ono to take charge of the child so that she can return To work. The commissioners took the mat- ter under short advisement and told the girl to call again.

About ten days ago the wife of the old Italian, Vorago, died in a miserable hovel in the part of town on South Thirteenth street known as the Dago's acre. Her husband, upon looking over her clothing, found some money stitched away in some of thescams. A further elose examination of her clothing revealed the fact that in every dress there was a sum of moncy, cither in coin or bills, varying in amount from 10 to §50 or £60.

He is familiarly known as ‘“Bloody Dick,” which name he assures his friends, he got while “me and Bill Cody were fight- ing Indians daown thar on the 'Publican.” In speaking of the case the Cheyenne Leader says: “Bloody Dick’s” maiden name was Richard Seymour, and about a year and a half ago he was approached by some very bad men indeed, and while tempo- rarily residing in Colorado he was in- terviewed by some Omaha land sharps who ated “Bloody’s” blarsted bloody services in a land speculation down” in Nebraska. “Bloody” didn’t want to be discourteous to “‘the boys, you know,” and so he jaunted off with them down te the claim ‘regions of the grasshopper state, where he plot- ted and conspi ited and swindled, »luh sified and stultified, ry with he boys s long as the; g use for him, Anm which they gave hima §5 bill and fired him out. “Tlm).l, didn’t like that very well, and came out west to grow up with the country. or a part of it sojourning in the foot ventured t @ ml Was| iutn Cheyenne mL:In | at once arrested by "Marsha mour will be taken to Lincoln to- LOST DOCUMENTS, Supposed Theft of the Sentence Pa- pers of a Military Convict, Colonel Burnham, judge advocate of the department of the Platte, is now at Fort Niobrara, investigating what ap pears to be a remarkable case of theft.

This time they are delicately balanced before two names—one belong- ing to the cashier in a banking institution near the postoflice, the other to a lady teacher in the Cass street school. All the preliminaries have been satisfactorly ar- ranged, it is said, and the wedding eards may be expected at any time in the near future. The magnetic influence of Cupid's presence has caused the hands to change their position again.
