THE POLICE WANT A NEW CHIEF The Bigamy Case in Goes Cra Court—A Horse zy— Generous Donors to the Hospital—To-day's Services, Matrimonmal Musses. In the district court yesterday a goodly portion of the day was spent in an at- tempt to get the case of Hugh Thomp- started for trial. Thompson is charged with higamy and with perjury. 1lis attorneys made a motion to have the higamy case dismissed on the ground that he had been before the court in Omaha. on a charge of illicit cohabita~ tion with the woman who is known as wife No. 2, and that the case had been decided in his favor. It 'was clamed that this was sufficient ground for hav- ing the case here dismissed. To this the prosecuting atte made a de- murrer, und the demurver was sustained. Then the defendant asked for a continuance on the ground of the inability to secure the atten- dance of certain witnesses, The prose- cution offered to admit that if the de- sired witnesses we present they would swear to the statements claimed for them. This would doaway with the excuse for a continuance. The motion f(ll"l continuance was n under ad- ent, and will be decided Monday morning. Anothe son misfit couple had their diffficulties adjusted in court, the case being that of Mathilda Handke vs. William Handke. Mrs, Handke sought adivorce on the ground that her hus- band had been too intimate with Anna Jensen; also that he had amused him- self by getting mad and smashing the furniture, throwing plates at her head, and otherwise making it doubtful whether life worth living.

Some time time ago the BEE referred to the organization of the **Abstract and Guarantee™ company, the object beiug to do a general abstract business. The first requisite of th ny wasa complete set of abstracts ain Which they had to go the county records. This was done and at once a large force of lerks were set at work copying the records. This force was so large that all the available space in the office was occupied. This aroused no little dis- satisfuction among the other abstract firms and other individuals whose busi- ness led them to consult these records. This feeling was expressed to Recorder Thomas, and in order to comply with what scemed to be a reasonable request he asked the gentlemen composing the above company to cut down theiv cler- ical force to a more reasonable number. This the gentlemen promised to do, but to date have not kept that promise by complying with the demand. Ir: order to put the matter in a tang- ible form a remonstrance and l)utititm has been presented to Mr. Thomas. This gives the reasons why the request is made and asks that this firm be re- stricted to one clerk for the work of copying the records. This was pre- sented yesterday. It contains thirty names—lawyers, justices of the peace and other publid men. Recorder Thomas stated to a BEE man that when the first kick was made he consulted City Solicitor Holmes and was told that the office was public, the rec- ordswere the property of the public and s no existing law which would the matter; that the law does ve that en a public office in the manner referred to . and consequently makes no provision for its ahatement; that this sume matter had been tested in the courts of the state of lllinois, and the points above stated had been held as good and the final decision was made accordingly. All the recorder could do in the matter was to put his wishes in the form of a request, but ‘he had no authority to enforce them. As to the points In which the public are most interested, vi the accuracy and cost of abstracts, there is no good reason to presume that this new com- will ‘introduce any essential im- provements in form, reduce the price of an abstract or make it any more com- plete than those furnished by the firms now actively npcmtmg in the city.

There have been heard some mutter- ings about the inefficiency of Jerry Mul- len, chiefof the police force, and various rumors have been afloat about his con- duct, The have been no formal charges, and nothing very tangible for him to meet and attempt to refute, but the statements have been rather reck lessly made if there is nothing to war- vant them. The fact now crops out that there is afeeling throughout the force which is rather against the chief. The police are said to be preparing to tuke some formal steps to secure a change, if Y(N ible. The move is being very quietly ried forward, and the boys in blue refuse to say much about it. It seems that they are quite united in the averment that Chief Mullen is in- competent for the position, and that they desire a change. Whether this dissatisfaction is the result of Chief Mullen’s conduct. or whether it arvises from some jealousy and the work of some one desiring the position, remuins to be determined by investigation. Such investigation will doubtless he conducted quiet] nd its result will probably be madé known mainly by the disclosure as to whether he is retained as chief or no P An Insane Horse. J. E. Thompson and A. Greenameyer, two well-known stock dealers, went out in the country Fridayon a business trip, using a horse belonging to Field & Cole's stable. The horse was one which they had frequently used before, and seemed apparently well, he never being over active, but rather easy going. On the return trip, whiie near the city, the horse suddenly stopped, and took o tumble. Mr. Thompson got the horse up, after a little, and blanketing him, attempted to walk him along towards some place where he could be ed for. The horse after proceeding a short dis- tance turi nu(l on the two men and biting and gave them a lively chase. The sapparently stark crazy. The two men had all they could do to keep out of his way, and they went over the fence in a hur Then they fol- lowed him a short distance, g that he might harm some one else, but he soon dropped again, and when they went to him he was past help and soon died. Dr. Seaman called on to make an ex: and said that throat and brain trouble was the cause of his strange actionsand sudden death. The horse has been considered a healthy and valuable animal for gen- eral purposes. —_—— See Tipton for building lots. - Domestic patterns at 105 Main st. i On the market for over twenty years.

A Feature of the Fraud Which Puz- zles Mexicans to This Day. A St. Louis Globe-Democrat corre- spondent, writing from the City of Mexico, says: There will be great joicing among the Mexican detectives when Bourton or Benson reaches the City of Mexico. Ever isince the suc- ul culmination of that magnificent swindle, the hogus advance Sale for the Patti opera s 1. there has been one featyre about the transaction which w inexplicable. That aplausible stranger should be able to pass himself off as Mayer, the agent of Abbey.and conduct a bogus sale through a period of several da s survrising enodgh, It was an illustration of monumental cheek which challenges admiration. But that is not what has worried the deatectives so much as the still unanswered question: “How did he get away withit? The Mex ) government'is proud ot its detective corps. Thenr re Vidocgs in the service, but this swindler, even while under suspicion and surveillance, slipped through their fingers and car- ried off the bulk of his fraudulent sales receipts. Patti’s intended visit had been announced in the City of M when Bourton or Benson made h pearance there. He visited tho news- paper offices, represented himself to he Mayer, and explained that a change of plans had necessitated a change of dates. His knowledge of Spanish and French helped him greatly. He spent his money } ely, or rather, it should be suid, he contracted bills freely, ordered his printing, and soon had his tickets on sale. The receipts came in rapialy, and ¥ was not until some days after the pretended Mayer had commenced sell- ing tickets that any suspicions were aroused xl-t to his character. FIRST SUSPICIONS, The (n' thing that attracted com- ment was the fact that he did_not de- posit his receipts in a bank, but kept the money in the safe of HIL’ p!.u»p where he s selling ticket suggested lu him that the better ('mnw would be to make the deposit, but h disregarded the advice and the silv and gold went on piling up in the ordi- navy safe to which several people had the combination. Then a report got out that the alleged Mayer was chang- ing some of his silver into bifls of lurgv denominatjon. This came to the ears of the authorities and they established a guard upon the advance agent. One afternoop lute a representative of the police department dropped into the office and formally notified the agent that he must transfer the funds to a bank as a guarantee of good fyith. The official said frankly that somle of those who had purchased tickets were apprehensive and that the governpaent had determined to take possession of the receipts until the opera season was given. The alias Mayer laughed good- nuturedly; said that was all right: ed the doors of the safe so that the ers could see the bags of gold and silver were there, and promised to sfer the money to the bank the first thing in the mmmn;: It then past lmnl\lng hours. The official left en- tirely satisfied. THE FLIGHT, The next morni the official re- turned to see the promise carvied out. The agent did not appear, and after waiting a reasonable time the repre- sentative of the government had the sufe opened. There were three or four ver and half a dozen other s of silver with a sprinkling of gold coin on top, amounting altogether 1o a couple of thousand dollars; The re- i for the advance sate had becn 3 $25,000. Now, ‘hoy did the swindler get away? That is a_question the detectives of the City of Mexico have been puzzling over ever since. In the lund of the cactus espionage is well nigh perfect. The system does not rec- ognize the possibility of a su ing the City of Me of the country unless the goyernment is entirvelv willing.

Nobody travels through it alone. Even the trains carvy half a carlond of soldiers while making this part of the route. The stations are very few. This region received. and, as the sequel shows, did not swallow up the bold swindler and his $£20,000. The country for many miles out from each station was scoured by bands of gens- d'armes after the wppearance of Bourton, but not a trace of him could he found. Just where he had left the train could not be established. His course after taking the southbound train at San Juan has remained to this day a complete mystery 1 tectives found that A Terrible San Francisco Chronicl, day, January 14, the Califorr s fréight weit-bound had reached the steeper part of the Castle rock grade when the brakes refused to work and an icy rail made matters worse. The en- gineer revers with a full head of steam on, but it was no use. Conductor Calinan w Brakemen MelIntee and Johnson hurried out on top of the cars to find a brake somewhere that would work but failed, and the train gathered a momentum that be- came shortly sixty miles an hour. The mercury was 402 below ro, and the hurricane made impossible for the men to remain on the car roofs, so they dropped down the ladders between the cars as the ter- rible cold blasts chilled them to the bone. The engincer, in despair, grasped the whistle lever, and during the run held it open, the engine pealing as it were along wail of distress. At the bottom of the hill was a special passen- ger with the No. 2 eastbound express hehind it. They were waiting for or- ders unconscious of what was coming. But onc of the stationmen, hearing the whistle and suspecting a runaway turned the switch just in time to let the freight outon the long siding. The rails there being rough the engine’s drivers, which had been revolving backward all the time, got in their work with the few that now took hold, and the run- was stopped “before any damage done. The poor train men on reaching Ogden were found to have their cars, fingers and toes frozen, and it was not known yester whether Dr. Perkins would be able to save them from wmputation. But for the turning of the switch another horrible railroad slaughter would have been reported. John Sellers, an old farmer near New Philadelphia, N., who died the other day, had a remorkable crop of hair and a very long beard. This was because he had never shaved or had his h cut, thinking, as he said, that 1t was inter- fering with the provisions of nature for a man to cut or even trim his hair. - A Hartford man started a good fire in a sheet-iron stove in his office, forgot to close the draught, locked the office door and went to d ‘When he got back he found the fire out; but it had made itself felt before going ont.
