The Wife Loves Another, There is trouble in a once happy home on Prohibition hiil. A fhusband has found his wife untrue to him and his pleasant fireside of a few months ago knows no longer the joya that once bad a habitation thero. Frank Goldsberry, his young wife and two children camo from Nebraska City to South Omaha when the cooperage works sturted. Golasberry is a cooper and found employ- ment in the works, Among others who found employment thero was & man named Joo Keeters, who was taken into the Goldsberry household as a boarder, Mrs. Goldsberry was provossessing _and found favor in the eyes of Keeters. They grow fond of eucn other and and finally Mrs. Goldsberry and Keeters cloped. They went 10 Lincolu, but the husband, still loving the mother of his children, followed them and found them living together as man and wife. The untrue wife was induced to return to her home and her children and Gotdsberry thought that in forgetting the past the future might be one of happiness for bim. He was disappointed, His wite bogan to recolve letters from Keeters and the more _{requently they came tho more often did she tell her husband that she laved Keoters the best and was willing to give up everything to be with him. The husband pleaded for their chidren who were sull young wnd knew nothing of their mother's infidelity, but sho was apparently lost to all sense of shame. KKeeters was writing from Kansas City begging Mrs. Goldsberry to come to_him. As & last resort she bewpred her husband to agree to & separation, take the children and furnish har the means to reach the destroyer of her husbaud's happiness. This the hus- band refused to do. He went to the postofiice, he claims, and instructed the local officials to deliver to him ull letters addressed to bis wifo in the hope of causing her to forget the hend who stole lis wife's honor, but it was without eftect. The less she heard from Keeters the moro she desired to bi with him. Such in substance is the story told by Goldsberry to the officers at the police station the other night. A Bree representative was present and un investigation the husband’s state- ments proves them to be substan- tially correct. Goldsberry says his home life was one of happiness from the dute of his marriage until the day that Keeters ed s threshoid. During Golasberry's absences from home Keeters plyed his_wife with liquor and won her affections. Since the day that her husband brought her back from Lincoln, on the occasion of her elopo- mont with Koeters, she hus occasionally re- pented of her rashness, only to break out awain 10 ardent protestations of a groater love for the unprincipled wretch and ex- pressions of a stronger desire to go to him. The couple have two children, one eight and the other ton years of age. They are 100 young to realize the truth weighing so heavily on their father's mind, of Live stoc« Exchange. Some time ago 8 committee, consisting of Messrs. ). B. Blanchard, J. A. Hake and John A, Dadisman, was appointed by the Live Stock exchange to formulate acom- pleint aganst transportation discriminations. he committee reported at u special meeting held Wednesday afternoon with President J. A. Hake in the chair. The committee's report enumerated ull the railroad companies in tho state, and after setting forth the position of the Live Stock exchange, gave a tabulatéd list of freight rates on the differ- ent roads from twenty, thirty, forty, fifty and as far as two hundred miles distance irom this city, showing unjust and iliegal charges: that the transportation companies, oy their unjustifiable course are damaging the live stock interesta of South Omaha; that roads rorth of the Platte river place traffo +from that section ata great disadvantage comparad with the tion south of that river, The potition prays that the state board of transportation may cause the truns- portation companies enumeratod to answer the charges and compel obedience to the law. 7 he report was uanimously adopted, and Messrs. E. P, Savage, A. B. Waggoner and J, B. Blanchard were appeinted a com- mittee to o to Lincoln und present the com- plaint before the state board of transporta- uon. The Turner Masquerade.

A rather scusational episode was wit~ nessed by some gentlcmen on a motor car ahortly after 110'clock Tuesday night, which, it was conjectured, should 1t reach the ears of certain purties’ interested, might play a promineat part in s domestic tragody or divorce case. It occurred in one of the bricl tenement houses near the center of the city. . A young womaa of slender but pretty figure was the promivent actor in the scene and was lot down from thesecond atory of the building with a sheet. The gentleman who let her down was a mun of ordwary size and had a mustache, but as the light in the room where he was had been turned low, his features were not distinct. Assoon as the female figure reached the ground she started ou a dead run and was soon out of sight. She was dressed in black. The Only Oge.

The judge and attorneys and a few persons still remaining about the court house quick- 1y assembled in the criminal court room to hear the result.

The latter seemed dazed for a moment, as though he could scarcely realize his escape, but soon his eyes tilled with tears and he faced the jury while he thanked them, The crime with which Meyers was charged was tho murder of Nels Planteen, a Swede, Inst May.

THE SOLDIEH The First $500 Approvriated Already Expended by the Commission. Speaking of the Soldiers’ relief commis- sion Mr. O'Keeffo said yesterday that the commiasion had nit filed with the county clerk the list of old ¥dldiers who were en. titlea to relief, as thay are required to do by law. The section of the statutes bearing upon this question is a8 follows: Chap. 73, Sec. 8—The Soldiers' relief commission shall meet at_the clerk’s ofice on the second Monday in February in each year, and at such othor times as deemod nec. essary, and shall examino and determine who are entitled to rolief under the provis- ions of this act, and shall make lists of such persons, and at the February meet- ing of such commission after determining the probuble amount necessary for the purpose provided herein, shall certity the amount to the county board, * %« Tia soldiers’ relief commission will fix the amount to be paid in each case, the agrregate not to exceed the lovy of said tax for auy one year, and shall certify the lists to the county clerk. ‘Ihe clork shall, within twenty days thereafter, transmit to tho jus- tices of the poace iu bis county a list of the names of the persons in the respective town- ships or precincts to whom relief has been awarded and theamount thereof. The county clerk, on the first Monday of each month after said fund is ready for distribution, shall issue his warrant to the soldiers’ relief commission upon the county treasurer for the several amounts awarded. = Such commission shiall disburse the same to the person or per- sons namoa in_ the lists, taking receipts therefor, * * * Said commission at any mecting may decrease, incroasa or discontinue any amount before awarded and may add new names to the lists, which shall be certified to the couuty clerk. So far as can be learned none of the pro- visions of this section, the commissioners hold, Have been complied with, No levy has been made for the commission, and there 18, therefore, no fund avalable for their use. The county commissioners ap- propriated 8500 from the general fund about @ month ago for the use of the relief com- mission, which has all been expended. It rosts entirely with the commissioners to make another appropriation or refuse it. As the matter stands at present, the commis~ sioners are rather of the opinion that the re- lief commission has been too 1avish with its relief. Bills have been received showing the amounts expended for the purchase of vari- ous articles and, io somoe cases, showing the names of the parties receiving relief. ~ Do- ductions from the reports rendered by the commission snow that the fawmilies to whom relief bas been furnished have received about §3 per week on an averago. A bill was received showing that board was being paid for one man at the rate of §4 per week, County Superintendent Maboney says that the city poor who are being taken care of at the expense of the county are maintained at an average expenditure of about $L.50 per week.

A Letter From Murray, la., Contains Some Interesting Information, Bailiff Wall McFadden of Council Bluffs has strnck a new clue thathe thinks may lead to the detection of the murderer of Mr. and Mrs, Jones. Yesterday afternoon & man came into the district couvrt room in Couneil Bluffs and hauded the bauiff a letter written by an acquaintance in Murray, Ia. The letter contained the {pformauion that a fellow named Neal had reappeared there after an absence of weveral years, whko is quite well known there and who answers the descriptions of tho real Neal to a dot. He is about twenty-eight years old, Several years years ago he was implicated in a murder in that neighborhood, but if guilty concealed all = evidence of it 80 completely thut the grand jury could not procure evidence enough to conviot him. So thoroughly were the people convinced that he was guilty that he was ordered out of the country. He reappeared there two days after the South Omaba tragedy. It is known that he was working during the present winter in Omaha and some time prior in & livery stavle in South Omaha. The letter says ne is a very shrewd and smooth fellow, The levter was turzed over to Marshal Guanella and Cnief of Police Lucas of Coun- cil Blutfs, Sherlff Boyd, County Attorney Maloney, Chief Maloney of South Omaha, and 8 host of detectives are working upon clues which each seews L bave discovered. ‘I'he county commissioners have not yet of- ferad a reward.

The trinl of the Nestlehouse boys, Billy and Loe, and the Powers boy, on the charge of disturbing the peace by fighting, occurrod before a jury of prominent business men yesterany afternoon in polica court and occupled over three hours. While the charge was simply that of fighting, yet 1t com- vrehended the making of a bloody and sorious assault upon an inoffensive man named Higgioson, tho dotails of which wore published in full at the time, but a few days aco. For a man whose head and body had_boon pounded and kicked in ahorribly brutal manner, Higgin- son testifiea 1 a wonderfully felicitions style, Helis a teacher and iuterpreter of languages, and was educated for a Catholio Driest, 80 that speaking in a general way he 18 quite bright man. While on the witness stand ho became so aggravated witn the quizzing of the attorney for the defenso thet @t ono time Lo threw up his hands, figuratively speaking, and said ho wouldn't swear that he was alive. At au- other time, evidently to humor the lawyer, he said that his normal condition was balt drunk and half sober, The man Hitt, who was at outs with Billy Nestichouso before the affair occurred, and who succeeded in defending him’ self at ‘the time, testified that Billy picked a auarrol with him, while both of the Nestichouso boys testified’ diroctly tho re- verse. The jury was out but a few minutes when @ verdict of guilty was returned against the Nestlehouses and acquittal as to Powers. Judge Helsloy aentenced the con- victed to nineglays in the county jall and to pay the costs. The prisoners wl find other serious charges placed against them as soon as they 8orvo out their sentences of yester- day, while Leo Nestlohonse has a number of charges now pending against him in the district court, . A FIGHT WITH A WOLF. Men, Cow and Dox Battle With the Ammal. Will and Ed Aunsley, real estate agents, and Mr. Charlie Howard had a terrible fight with a strange wild ani- mal at Decatur yesterday, supposed to have been u wolf or some kind of a wild dog, says the Atlanta Journal. Ed Aunsley and Mr. Howard were tak- ing dinner at Will Ansley’s house. " In the afternoon a noise was heard in the back yard and when the three men went out they saw a terrible fight going on between Mr. Ansley’s bulldog, pointer and setter and a strange animal that re- sembled a wolf. . The fight was desporate and the strange animal was getting the best of all three of his adversaries. The three gentlemen tooka hand and threw stones at the supposed wolf. This succeeded in stopping the fight and the wolf, if it was one, ran after the cook, who went screaming towards the kitchen. Mr. Ansley’s house is bricked atl around at the base, except at one place where there isasmall opening. Iuto this the wolf ran. The pointer was the only dog that could be induced to fol- low. The setter und bulldog had several ugly wounds which they had to nurse. The powmnter succeedéd in running the wolt out. Mr. Will Ansley had a pistol, and the other gentlemen had rocks and sticks. As the wolf came out, he was shot and stoned and clubbed until he fell to the ground; but he lay there only a second or two,and then ran into the corn lot, where he at- tacked a fine Jersey cow. Springing at the cow’s throat he fastened his teoth in her flesh and hung suspended in the air, as the cow run bellowing ahout the 1ot, making frantic efforts to shake him off, . Just before this Mr. Ansley’s fine pointer sprang upon his shoulder, and he wheeled and sent a bullet through the dog's head. The pointer fell dead. The wolf was shotand stoned again as ho swung to the cow’s thront, and he dropped off, and running towards the house disappeared again through . the hole. It was decided to tear down a part of the masonry around the house so that the wolf could be seen. This was done, and Ed Ansley ventured under the house. Hesaw twored balls coming towards him in the darkness and emerged through a hole in considerable Thaste. A gun was borrowed from the jailer, and with this weapon My, Ed Ansley again ventured under the house. ac- companied by Mr. Will Apsley, who carried a pistol. Mr. Will Ansley fired the first shot and sent a bullet into the wolf’s body. Howling with pain the animal sprang towards the two gentiemen, but a shot from the gun in Mr. Ed Ansley’s hands laid the brute out dead. The wolf was dragged out with & rake, RS- Both 1o the foint.
