The city marshal has put a stop to the further patching up of the old Coy house. The building is decmed to be too much of a nuisance to be turther fixed up and enderced habitable, as itis within the fire imits, P. McGee had about thirty dollars in hisg pocket when he began to paint the town. He lay down to sleep on the grass in a retired spot, and when he :\wufia he was inside the cooler, He had not a dollar when arrested, o it seems that he must have been robbed while asleep or while doing the artist act. He had a fine assessed against him, too. For a man fifty-two years old he seems to have profited little by experience in this world. A number of the attorneys engaged in the Cross case have gone fo Glenwood, where an important civil case is 'wi"‘i tried—Deere, Wells & Co. vs. Bagley, o Hamburg. It will be remembered that Deere, Wells & Co. attached Bagley's stock of goods, and Bagley claims wrong- fully. He brings in a counter claim for damages, attorneys for the plain- tiff are Sapp & Pusey, G. W. McCabe, of Shenandoah, and €. M. Hart. For the defense are Major Anderson, Stone & 8ims and Mr. Lothrop, of Sioux City. -~ When you are in the city stop at the Pacific_hon Street cars pass the door every fiftec utes for all the depots.

Mr. Officer, ot the electric light com- vany, has outlined a plan for lighting the city by the tower system, and has made a proposition to the city. The vlan, as outhned, provides for lighting the entire city all night. It is claimed that by the tower system electric iamps will cause the whole city to be so light that in any portion a newspaper can be read easily. The advantages are that not only the streets but the alleys ete., in fact every spot will that instead of turning off the light at midnight lh(v{ will run all night. he expense for all this will be but a trifle in of what 1s puid now. Other prop- ons are also arranged by which the cost would be lessened by not trying to cover the entire city, or by reducing the number of hours. The wires ure being put in place for four lamps to be hung on the top of the court house tower. These lights will probably be turned on to-night as a preliminary experi- ment. The four lamps to be used in this experiment are the ordinary ones, and hence the result cannot be as satis- fuctory asf their company had the regu- lar steel lamps to put up. Still some idea can be gained from putting up the four small lights and the larger ones will be put up as soon as they can be had. The AN ACQUITTAL FOR DR. CROSS The Jury Declares He Killed Dr. McKune In Belf-Defense. A WIFE'S WILD WRATH, She Publicly Pounds Rer Husband With a Parasol—-A Young Girl Bkips From Home to Join the Salvation Army—Lightinng Dr, Cross Acquitted. Dr. Cross has been acquitted. The news flew fast, and was received with much doubting. It did not seem possi- ble, to many, that it could be true. The details of the shooting of Dr. McKune have been rchearsed and discussed so much that almost every citizen had formed an opinion, and the large ma- jority apparently, were cxpecting, and rather hoping, that he would be sent to the penitentiary for a term of years. They had already tried the case to their own satisfaction, and had snch a verdict been reached it would probably have come nearer meeting the sentiments of the majority than any other. The jury has virtually found that Dr. Cross killed McKune in self defense. At Red Oak, where the case has becn on trial frum June 23d until now, there had been quite a sentiment worked up in Cross’ favor before the trial was commenced and it has been carefully fed with va- rious rumors since, The chief theory of the defen: s to have been to put Dr. McKune on trial, and directthe chiet rom Cross to the charac- of the im of the ti . In this therc was much succes Lyery p ble instance in which Dr. McKune had displayed any temper or vetnlance, was dragged out, and the air with the rumors of others. ¢ attorneys for the defense had no small task before them to get & man ac- quitted who had already been once found guilty of murder and sentenced to be hung. They hattied nobly for their client, and left no point uncov The; worked as if for their lives, and saved him. ‘The prosecution was strongly manned, andsit was a battle of giants. 1t is understood that Dr. Cross will re- turn to this eity and enter upon the prac- tice of his profession. For neurly four years he hus been passing through ex- periences which would have broken down n man of less nerve. The active participant in a tragedy which ended with its victim lying at his feet killed b, him, then placed behind the bars, tried, found guilty, placed in the penitentiary, the day ofy his hanging set, then a trial, a breath ot fresh air only to give him a chance to work up the case which involved his life, a constant shadow upon him, bitter enemies around him, an anxious future before him, his has been erience which few could stand. ms to have been little moved by it, and he stood up under all this weight of trouble with wonderful enduranc His wife has stood by him nobly and she E rificed and labored in s interests with a devotion which cannot but be commended. e e A Woman's Weapon, Frank M. Krough, now of Omaha, but who gained a local reputauon here two or three years ago by running the *“Blue Jay” saloon, was in the city yesterday. In the afternoon his wife, who had been hunting for him for a day or so, came across him on Broadway near the Ogden house, and she began belaboring him over the head with a parasol. He held up his arms so as to protect his face, and took the blows as they came. Krough is a great, husky fellow, and he evidently did not care to hurt the woman. The police came along and arrested the pair. She explained that she had been hunting for her husband for a dav or 8o, and that he was running around drinking and spending her money, so when she got a sight of him she was so mad that she for- ot herselt. Krough was allowed to go, ut she was fined, filu hurried off to get money from some friend with which to pay her fine, and soon the couple went down Broadway together,with some other friends, who had combined to get the riddy husband safely started for Omaha. They stood in front of one of the Broad- way saloons jawing for a while, and a crowd of loafers gathered about. A glass of beer was brought out of the sa- loon for one of the women, and she stood in the middie of the sidewalk and drank it as though no such thing as prohibition was known in this state. Krough and his wife then started towards the dummy depot, but he balked a little further along, and she limlim;vL him still contrary went for him again, She caught him by SATURDAY, 9. 1887. and threatened to have Mrs Bm{ arrested for some great crime, which he seemed to know more about than she did. The threats were of no avail and she ordered him and his female companion offthe premises. She grabbed a clothes line pole and cracked him over the head with it. He wrenched this away from her and she got a broomstick and gave him another crack on the side of the hend. He grabbed this, and while the tussle was going on a neighbor came over, outing: “‘Shoot the red-shirted son of a gun'' The salvationist beat n hasty retreat, inform. g Mrs. Hasty that he would have her behind the bars by sundown, She waited until the sun went down and she let it go down on her wrath, She did not tind herself bebind the bars and she then hunted up the officers. She filed a complaint against the red-shirted of- fender, charging him with endeavoring to extort personal property by making threats. The matter will now be dragged into the conrts and aired up in detail. ki THE REVOLVING JAIL. A Prisoner Foolishly Puts His Arm Out and Gets It Broken. Another accident occurred at the county’s revolving jail yesterday. An Italian with a horrible name, who was arrested lately for passing counterfeit silver dollars, was the victim. While the cylinder was being revolved he thought- lessly thrust bis arm througn the open- ingn his cell, to throw out an apple core. His arm was caught and broken between the elbow the shoulder, It s that no one was directly at fault nt himself, but it adds to the bad record of this jail, which has alreadv shown itself to be faulty in many respects, A jail in~ which a sober man is liable to get his arm broken in this way, does not seem to be weoll fitted for the 1mprisonment of drunken men, lunatics, or boys. A while ago u boy got his arm broken in about the same way. Ordinarily the cylinder does not turn_ very casily, and it balks very often. The cranky jail seems to know, however, when there is an arm or leg in the way, and it never balks then. It takes special delight at such times to 0 spinning around, and wouldn't balk or the world, if by doing so it would miss a chance of breaking up a prisoner, The next time the cylinder gets stopped and refuses to move on all that will be necessary to start it will be for some fool- hardy, thoughtless prisoner to get an arm or leg in the way. -~ Latest imvroved gasoline stoves at N 504 Main strect.

He™ is clever, brilliant, well-born, and has had every advantage that boundless wealth could buy. He can box like a professional, has broad shoulders, and apparently never thinks of his attire. His father calls him “8ill.”” On every couch that day there were prim, tightly- clad, supercilious and over-dressed young men, sitting erect and staring with affected indigerence at the vulgar herd that surged below them. Un- doublcdlg they felt like aristocrats, or tried to, but they looked like & lot of tai- lors’ clerks. The only man among them who was absolutely indifferent to his sur- roundings and his position was William Waldorf Astor. e 'I'he Hot Weather of mid-summer has a weakening effect, both upon body and mind.
