.1 WEARIED WITH THE TRIAL. ¥he Haddock Murder Oase Tiring Out Judge, Jury and Lawyers. YHE EVIDENCE ALMOST ALL IN The State Rests Its Case and the De- fense Proceeds With Its Rebut- tal Testimony—Scveral Sa. loonkeepers Testify, Warm Weather Knocking Them Out Soux Crry, Ia, April 9.--The warm weather and the strain of curiosity the past few days has materially told on the attend- ance at the Haddock murder triul I !n-l Judge, jury and lawyers uppear weary. The first witness called this morning was Alinon, who gave a description of the doorway in which Juhl stated he stood when he saw Leavitt tire the shot, Thescreen doors titted clore to the outside door sill so as to pro hibit anyone standing upon it. A Journa reporter related his interview with Paul ader in Kansas City and in conversation dler said he could not see the man who @ired the shot plain enough to identify thim. Leader did not say anything about the @ssassin wearing a rubber coat. A Jackson was recalled and said that the witness Behroeder, who saw from the Columbia house window Leavitt fire the shot, while Siving at Lake Benton, would steal money parned by his wife at washing and spend it Kor liquor, In the Haddock trial this afternoon James Bhantley, city marshal, testified that he first #aw James C.Juhlat Norfolk, Neb., in No- wembor. Juhl told witness in a conversation elating to the murder that on that ni tood in the doorway to keep ont of the rain; w tho bugga pass and in about live minutes 1X nien went past him, going east. One of @so men-large and heavy set, with light gmoustache—he knew by sight, having rank with him, Witness jhown @& statement, which he @ wrote and read to Juhl, ho signed it; Jubl told him George W. K fl wanted him to swear that Jolin Arens- orf was not the man who fired the shot romlsing him a good round sum of money f he would do so, and offering him half the um if he would keep still and not say any- ing to the officers in Sioux City. James Nelon, chiet of police, saw Juhl int out the spot where Haddock tell and [ happened to be on the wrong cross- ng; was at police headguarters when ©° shot was fired; Lorel’s saloon Just north of the stairway : no one stood in ront of the saloon but Lerch; Bismarek and fedrick were not there: John Woodruff tood on the porch a square west of the brew- ®ry when the shot was lred; a few minutes ! 'r he saw two men run from the railroad K to the Germania hotel; they ran to the ront door; couldn't get in: ran around to the k door, one reappearing a little later, go- ng east on south side of the street; one of he men was heavy-set and the other taller d slimmer, M. M. Curtis, constable and night watch- _an, said on the night of the wmurder he ent west to the alley on Fourth street and ‘ghet Arensdorf, Orton and yunk., He asked em If there was any truth in the report at Haddock was killed. They said the; eard that old man Cavenaugh and Haddoc] ‘were killed. They didn’t know which it ‘mvas, On cross-examination the defense indertook to show that witness *iawas drunk on that night. Witness testified at he called on the brother of Juhl, who mwid that the latter made a contradictory tatement, and he would not belive him ‘under oath. When witness brought Juhl to foux City he pointed out John Arensdorf, and Juhl said he did not know him. H. Murphy also contradicted Juhl's evi- ence given for the defense, .. The "state then rested and the de- fenso proceeded in rebuttal. Several oon keepers testified to Gus +Bchmidv’s good moral character and Schmidt d that the bad character given him by the @ Benton witnesses wns due to his being nvicted of stealing four cans of oysters. ith the exception of one more witness tha lense rests and the evidence s completed. tIs understood that some time will be occu- led In presentin le{nl questions to the urt before counsel will be able to submit eir arguments to the jury.

April 9 New Arrived—The ork for Ham- Its Divisions. The city council finally settled upon the cty’s boundaries and wards last night. By the cut which is below given some idea may be obtained of the by no means regular divisions of the city. All the councilinen were present when the roll was called. The call for tue special meeting was read, and the approval of the mayor of several ordinances wus duly re- ceived and placed on file. Another communi- cation from the mayor was not so quickly disposed of. 1t was the one calling attention 10 the necessity of dividing the wards into voting places by the following: “I respect- fully call your attention to the llm',e:&-fll{' of prompt action in the matter of establishing voting districts in the several wards, The prociamation for the election must be fssued on Wednesday next and before that time an ordinance should be passed determining the the voting districts.”” The communjcation was referred to Councilmen Lee, Dailey, Lowry and Bailey. A petition was received from about fifty wvoters of the Fourth ward to divide it intotwo or more voting distriets, and it was followed by like requests from voters of the north end of the sixth ward and from othier voters of the fourth ward, 'The requests were referred to the appropriate committee, alhe citr treasurer submitted a report as to the compliance of property holders on l.eav- enwor th street with the tenders for dama caused by changing the grade. 1t was filed. A report recommending the passage of the grade ordinance of Leavenworth street was adopted. ‘Then the council settled down to short, sharp and decisive business. The following ordinances were passe Changing the grade of Leavenworth street from Sixteenth to Thirty-sixth streets. Coun- cilmen Cleney and Ford voted no.

Mr. Timme, however, was not pre- pared to vote at that time and an adjourn- ment was taken until 3 o’clock yesteraay afternoon. Atthattime Mr, Timme again refused to vote upon the plans and Comunls- sioners Mount and 0'Keefe took up the mat- ter.

WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW. Ohicago Financial Affairs in the S: Condition As a Fortuight Ago. NO DIFFICULTY IN BORROWING. Bankers Pursuing a Very Conserva- tive Course—Stock Buying Abroad Reported Quite Liberal—Pro- sions Ruled Quict. The Week in the Commercial World, Cricaco, April 9.—|Special Telogram to the B Local financial affairs remain in about the same condition as noted for the past two or three weeks, Tne fecling is quite tirm, though thie market is not close nor stringent. The demand for loa comes largely from a miscellaneous souree, and as bankers are moderately well supplied with loanable funds, borrowers in good standing experience no particular difficulty in obtain- ing all the favors desired, Bankers, how- ever, are pursuing a very conservative course and confining their discounts, espeeially on speculative paper, to rather wide margins. Speculators are a little more inclined to en- gage in transactions and scek increased ac- commodations at banks. Shipvers of grain and provisions are virtually out of the loan market. Dealers in lumber are moderate borrowers, but generally offer short aate paper. Wholesale merchants ask for some favors, but their needs are not pressing, as trade has slackened somewhat. The demand from the interior for money has been moder- ately active and shipments were quite liberal, pecially to the corn and oats districts. Very little outside paper was accepted. Rates of interest are well maintained at 6@7 per cent for call and 6@$ per cent for time loans. Some business was doing on the street at 6@3S per cent. Kastern money markets exnibit a little more strength, and interest rates have sliehtly ad- vanced. Forelen advices indicate no parti- cular change in the leading markets. Money is reported rather plenty and interest rates favor borrowers. New York exchange was offered moderately and the demand was fair. Little more was presented by shippers. The market ruled stronger and sales were mado between banks at 55@70 cents discount per $1,000, and closed steady at 25@30 cents. For- eign exchange was somewhat unsettled and rates ruled a little irregular. Shippers’ sixty days documentary was oifered moder- ately early in the week, while the demand was light and sales were at $4.85}4@1.823(. Later the demand was more urgent, while offers were lighter and rates were advanced to $4.831{@4.83%, and closed rather steady at the improvement. Considerable more life was manifested in the New York stock mar- ket during the week just closed. Outside overators were inclined to do more trading and eastern speculators were operating in larger lines than usual. Most of the leading railronds are reporting increased earnings, and this has encouraged speculators to pur- chase more freely. ‘The action of the inter- state commission in Sussmlldlln( the enforce- ment of the “long and short haul” clause for ninety days on the petition of the South Car- olina’ rallroad company has been ac- cepted by speculators ‘in stocks as an indication that little attention will be given m% new law until the commission have had an opportunity to investigate such mat- a8 may be presented to them, The leading stocks have shown more strength and prices were improved, though outside vrices were not fully supported to the close, Chicago operators have transacted only a moderate businsss in stocks and chiefly conuned thelr operations to western lines, American securities were steadier in London and foreizn speculators were more Inclined to purchase leading lines in the New York market. Sales on the New Y ork stock ex- change for the week were 2,458,000 shares. Petroleum exhibited a little more activity during the past week and fluctuations in ricos exhibited a wider and higher range. “Shorts"” purchased to some extent. Sales on the New York petroleum exchange reached 5,247,000 barrels. The openingz sales were made at G3lgc, sold at bijg@ube and closed stoady at G4l¢e. The intervention of a holi- day curtailed trading in vroduce circles con- siderably during the week, yet the days on which the board of trade was in sessioh wit- nessed considerable trading in all branches. Speculators in .rrnln. especially were inclined to o A little more trading in a geveral way, while tho recelver has been fancied with quite liberal consignments, and shipping was purchasod with the same freedom. Prices fluctuated considerably, though within a moderate range, and exhibited little change from the current during the week previous. So far the new order of things under the Inter-state commorce law has had some little effect on shipments eastward, but the decrease has not been as large as anticipated. The receipts of grain were r!lllw liveral of all kinds, and inspection Indicated a zood percenlage of contract grades, In speculative circles shorts were moderately free purchasers, while there was less realizing by those on the ‘‘long” side of the market. Stocks reported abroad are quite liberal for this season of the year. The export movement was nioderatejy large and widely distributed. ‘The weather has been somewhat unseasonable ana reports of damage to erops has been frequent. Farm work, too, has been retarded in some sections b{ storms of sleet and snow. Advices from abroad have not been very favorable to seed- ers, and enstern markets” developed no par- ticular elemonts of strongth. Provisions have ruled rather quiet with prices favorable to buyers, due mainly to increased stocks and the favorable prozrass of packing in the west.

Written for the Sunday Bee by Sumner Johnson. “Grizzly Joe" is what they call him up in the mountains where the pine trees kiss the sun-touched clouds and the water bubbles out of the roeks like nectar distilled from the dew of the realms o Olympus. He registered the other day in a scrawling hand, “Joseph Weston, Wyoming,” and replied to a query of how he liked Omaha, with the characteristic: “Wall, I dunno. Jest got in."” Grizzly Joe lives 8,000 feet above salt water lovel, in a cabin that nestles 'way up at the foot of the hghest peak of* Wind River range. And it's a picturesque spot! Down past the very door,almost, of the half log and half 'dobe shack, tear- ing out of a canyon as if maddened by long imwprisonment, rolls and tumbles and leaps and laughs a crystal stream. Just beyond Joe's cabin there is a level, grassy spot, and there the brook takes a moment to breathe. Then it dashes madly down the declivity again, winding' and twisting through the gorges and draws until it 15 lost to sight in the ever- green of the mesa which, a thousand feet below, stretches miles away., Joe went up there--nobody but he knew why —with five scraggy horses, nearly a score of years ago. Now his sleek and supple- limbed band of ponies numbers an even thousand. When Joe toiled up the mountan side on that sunny mornlnfi twenty years ago he had a heavy ban around his sombrero, and on the W which he drove was a wee, toddling child, Ashe Erew grayer and grizzly, so that he gained s sobriquet, the baby blossomed into a maiden of thngely form and face like Diana of old. She knew nothing of corset, French heel, or bustle; but she could cook her daddy’s meal And she could rope for herself the wild- est broncho of her father’s bunch and sit like a centaur while it plunged and bucked with desperate sur- prise at finding so strange a creature upon its back. She could shoot, too—not with the ornamented bow of the srcher‘yi club—but with her ringing rifle whicl ruth I‘n:inllen death to the heartof the - Five yuirl ago Grizzly Joo took his daughter down to Lariwie City sud | found her a home in the family of an old friend. He said: ‘“The gal hez lived up thar in the mountains with me an’ don’t know nothin’ ‘ceot to cook an’ work an' ride a hoss. I want you to edicate her.” Accordingly she was “edicated,” and “'the al'’ soon developed into a ned young ady. That she had admirers goes with- out'the saying, because as the butterfly emerges from its crysaiis so had she taken upon her all .the delightful femi- ninities that her new surroundings per- mitted, and lost nothing of her uatural charms. In the garden city of the Laramie plains none of the beauties with her could compure. But, strangely enongh, she ad not lose her heart until one day, a dashing stranger rode by her and gallantly doifed his hat. He managed his blooded horse with matehless skill as he kept within the streets a halt hundred equines to which the thoronghfare was a prison confine. She saw him twice afterward, and when he went aw without ever having spoken a word, she knew that her love had been taken with him. Two_years ago Grizzly came down from his mountain fastness and when he returned took her home again, on a visit only—*‘fer "twouldn’t be no pluce now ferye,” as he said, while his eyes rested lovingly and admiringly on this fashion- ably attired young woman who had rinened from the wild flower blossom he had nurtured tenderly in the years gone by. Three days after she returned of Joe’s best horses suddenly and iously dist spoect muttered led on his six-shooters with a gleam in his eyes, *‘He raided Brady’s ranch last week, he added, *an’ got away with thirty of the best horses in the buneh.” “Shall T go with you, dad?" asked tho girl, her old loye g’ur a wild free ride coming over her. *No,” “there’s likelinood of bein’ too long a chase,” and then he muttered under his breath, “an’ work a gal bhaint got no business fer ter see.’”” So he rode off with his horse on a free, swinging lope, down the side of the mountain and she was alone in her beloved old home. Three or four hours passed and she was singing gindly about the humble cabin while giving the interior the fancy touches which only a woman’s hands can do, when a shadow darkened the low door- way and to her startled glance was re- veiled a horseman outside. 1t was her hero, as she had often pictured him in her memory, sitting his horse with the me grace with which he had swept through the Gem City's streets months before. He saluted ~her with courtly mein and asked simply for a drink of water. 1imidly shegave it to him, while her face burned as it never had before. He bent over low to thank her, drank the water slowly and then asked her where her father was. ‘‘He hasgone after some of his lost horses,” she replied, and added: *‘He thinks they have been run off by Teton Jack.’, ‘15 that so?'’ the stranger asked; “‘and t do you know of Teton Jack?" Nothing," she said, *“‘except that he’s a horsethief and a bad man and ought to be hanged.” “So you think, do you?" he replied moodily. “Well, perhaps that's so. Tell your father when he comes that Te- ton Jack called tocpay his regards, and regrets that he was not at home.”" “What! you!” sha hilf-gasped and her eyes dilated with terror, But his horse had made a sudden spring, and with a snort of pain madly planged away. A revolver crackup thetrail was heard! The rider, firm as ho sat in his seat, was for once caught off his guard. He recled and fell from the saddle, and the horse went flying down the rugged path. Down the mountain 'trail from above came two horsenien with weapons at cock, nnd before: thg. dismounted thief could rise he wasieovered by two ugly Ppistols, (] “Throw up your hands and say your prayers,’’ shouted Grizaly Joe. “On, father, father, don’t kill him; don’t doit, don't shoot!” screamed the il gI! was no longer Teton Jack, the dreadea horse thief, the merciless bandit who had coolly sent a bullet through the heart of many a man, 1t was the hero of her dreams, her first lover, and yet a lover unconfess who _stood sullenly there, his hands in the air, his dark eyes lagleaming with the desperado courage, which had made him the terror of the Wind River range and the ogre ofthe Big Horn basin. v “What do you mean, gal? What do you mean?’ shouted Grizzly. *‘Stand out'en the way!" But she never moved and slowly she said: “He may bea thief; he ought to die, perbaps, but you shall not shoot him like a dog. He is de- fonseless. See!’—and she picked from the ground the ivory handled revolver which had fallen from the belt as he was thrown. Then with @ sudden inspira- tion, she turned and leveled it full at the horse-thief’s breast. “Go!"’ she screamed, *Run for yourlife, No one shall follow you until you are out of sight. Then take care of yourself. Go, and if you escape, live to be a better man."” Grizzly sat transfixed by the fierce- ness which he had never seen before. Thethief turned like a flash and bounded like a deer toward the stunted pines which lined the creek below. Ina min- ute he was out of sight. The horsemen followed him but he was gone, Whiie they were searching in the chapparal they heard a ringing shout of defiance across the western raise and looked just n time to see the king of the horse- thieves and a confederate sweeping away toward the setting sun. Down in the canyon which lay between them were the missing horses, all except one. That one Teton Jack was riding toward his im- penetrable lair, the of mys- terious legend. A year afterward Jack was caught in a lone cabin in the Big Horn counwy. His captors kept him that time, and he is now serving out in Idaho a fourteen years sentence for one of his many crimes. WeEat became,of the “gal?” That was substantially the question which was asked of Grizzly as he shook hands with a friend and boarded the train for wPruminfi' last night. “She's Iivin' dowy in Colorady,” he re- plied. *‘Forgot Tetén Jack?

COLORED BEAUX AND BELLES. A Unique Prompter—How He “‘Calls O —*“Cheating de Genta"—An Occasion of Pare and Un- restrained Merriment, [IWritten for the Sunday Bee by “Ajo An Ethlopian Revel, Omaha people who have ever felt a gnawing desire to see a real old-fashioned vlantation darkey dance, ought to visit a aduance hallin the cellar of a saloon building on lower Dodge street. On every Friday night veople with such yearnings could witness a crowd of col- ored people in terpsichorean orgies which, if not quite as wild and wicrd as the plantation revels, must be equally as intere: A reporter visitod the place one night last week, Passing down the ee steps, he found himself in & small, dingy cellar, which was lighted up by a fow feeble coal oil lamps. The floor sanded, so as {o be better accommodated to the fect of the dancers. Several large vosts, which upheld the ceiling, aftorded plenty of chance for violent collision. Altogether the place could hardly be called inviting, Moreover, it was filled with a combination of odors anything but pleasant. The throng was & motley one. Colored gamblers, waiters, cooks, roustabouts and men who could hardly boast of any employment, made up the male elemont of the crowd, while the 1l nent was nearly equally as mixed. Th Vi the “dandy dark’’ with his flashy neck- tie, tiger-spotted shirt and very loud pants; opposite him perhaps was a less pretentious colored individual who did not boust of a shirt, much less a collar and whose clothes looked ike a combi- nation quilt. But he scemed to o1f t as well as b etter Among the crowd were one or two white faces to be seen. They belonged to well known characters about town. One_soldier, who had strayed away from Fort Omaha, could be secn gliding through the crowd, swmmgl]y enjoyving the fun as well as the dusky belle who was his partner, The music started up soon after the reportor had taken his perch on a table. It was furnished by two colored men— one playing the guitar and the other the violin. ~ ‘They played well and in almost perfect time. “Git yer pardners for de quadrille,” shouted the prompter or “caller-off mounting a chair. This gentleman, who was known to s friends: as Theo- dore, was a whole show in himself. He was a short, thick-set little fellow, with a jovial, good-natured face and a pleasant habit of showing two lines of white ivory whenever he smiled—which was not infrequently, He' was a typical plantation darkey, careless, good na- tured and happy, with a reekless disre- gard for the conventionalities, and a cer- native wit .that created end- ment among the dancers, He had a habit, too, of swaymng his body backwards and forwards as the strains beeame particularly inspiring, at the same time clapping his hands and beat- g his feet vigorously, in perfect unison with the music. When he became par- ticularly excited he would hop from his chawr and jump iuto the center of the quadrille, directing the dancers how to go through the various changes. All this time he would be keeping perfect time with his hands and feet. Inshort he was a spectacle comically irresistible. The music quickens and the hilarity becomes fast and furious, “Pardners all!” shouts the prompter. Eight ebouy dancers meet and swing. *“*Balance across!'* he continues. The order 18 obeyed. “Grand right and wrong!” he yells, growing excited as the music hecomes quicker.This is his own particular version of the order “grand rigntand left.” The darkeys understand him and go through the change. “Swing de partners!’’ continues the prompter, beating time with_ his feet, which resembled in size two Whittaker hams. “Hyah, you Georgie!”" he adds, “doan you hf' ‘dat ar dress so high 'Member de white folks is lookin' at ye." Georgia hears him, but don't take the vari" broad hint. “Gents balance to de right,” says the prom{xmr. clapping his hand vigorously. “Look out dah, youSam," he continues, “doan’ you hug dat Suse so tight., Her feller done watchin’ you!™ A hearty guffaw goes through the room in which the Tneodore joins as loudly as anyone, “‘Ladies cheat or swing!" comes the next command, Itis obeyed. ‘Iliis is a change about which little1s known by the average modern dancer. The ladies pass to the different male dancersn the sct, and if they choose to'swing, grasp them by the waist and turn twice. If the lady wants to ‘‘cheat,” however, she advances toward the gent, as if about to balance with him, and then suddenly llirs AWAY from him, leaving him badly n the lurch, This il:: quite appropriately celied *‘cheat- sy g‘l-)\' body rag!” is the next order. and every one obeys. *‘Ragging'’ is a feature of the dance which ™ probably originated with the aarkies. At any rate it is most larg indulged in by them. The male dancer, when he ‘“‘rags,” kicks his feet into the air, at the same time bending his body into all sorts of grotesque shapes. The female *‘ragger’ sways hor body to and izes her “dress and jerks it higher than strict ideas of propriety would warrant, All thisis done in per- fect time with the music, which is of that quick and jerky sort so admived by the negroes. ‘These dances are kept up until 2 or3 o'clock 1n the morning by which time every one having imbived freely foels hilariously happy. Once in a while some jealons swain starts a fight with a more successful rival and then ‘do razors are aflyin’ in de air.’ As a gencral thing, however, good order prevails, Unless totally upset by whisky, the Omana darkey cares more for the pleasures of the dance than he does for the pleasures of fighting. And he governs bimself ac- cordingly. e Another Railroad Syndicate.
