Yesterday morn- ing he got sight of the fellows immediately after making his !\-Iml'l and had & whole hour to devoto to them. He devoted it assiduously. He followed them up Benton stroet and around the neighborhood of Wheeler's home, and finally into the yard, Omneor the fellows had remiined on Harmony street to watch and the other went to work on the windows with a jimm Hetried to force half a dozen windows without success, until he cameto a cellar window.

Manager Kent of the Standard opera com- pany, who skipped with the cash box after the performance on Monday night, returmed to this city Tuesday night and went tothe opera house tosleep. His presence was made known to LandlordJones of the Pacific house andan hour or two after miduight a warrant was obtained from Justide Schurz and ho was placed under arrest, charged with cheating in that he had represented to the hotel man thyt the company was fluancilly abls to neet its board bills at tho time the contract was made. He wis taken to the eity jailand 10cked up until moruing. Thegreater part of yesterday was speat ina frantic o deaver to get together money enough, or rather security enough, for there was not more than #10'in the possession of all the company of twenty pedple, to let them out of their dilema and out of town, but it was distressing failure. Itis safe tosay that the company of young ladies and gentlemen spent about the most miserable and alto- gether unhappy day of thefr lives yester- day. Thehotel bill had grown from 9 to 115, and the members of the company did not ask for any further credit. Many of thern did not get any breakfast, and none of them would have had any dinner had it not sen for the kindness of several people who sted themsclves in_their welfare, A lndy guest of the Pacific house paid for the dinner of all of the ladies of the troup, and the gentlemen were entertained at the Model chop house The majority of the young ladies were thoroughly hélpless, but all of tnem were brave, One of them secured a position as nurseat & per week and went to work at once, and they were all making_eflorts to secute temporary employment.

Atho'clock the trial of Manager Kent began before a jury inJustice Sehurz court. A strong effort was made to send him to jail, but it was stoutly resisted by his__attorney.

The Bresee Case, The celebrated Missouri Valley insanity case took another turn in the courts yester- day. Judge Given of the supreme court made an order staying the procecdings in the Har- rison county district court until the matter is disposed of. Duringthe time the case has been in transit from the district to the su- preme court Mrs, Bre: has not been visible to the eye of the Hamson county sheriff, but she will now probably return to her home, and there it is possible another tilt will take placo between Ler and the county board of superyisors, She has made a brave fight for her libert Against her bas been mon and influence but her neighbors and friends scout at the idea of her insauity and they are diligent in her behalfand from present indications she is about as far from the asylum as when the matter was opened last May. Her business has been destroyed and shé has been har- rassed and hunted enough to drive a sane person insane, but she stll mantains the same eventempered, inflexible pucposo in maintaining her sanity. Itis a mysterious cise and one of the mys- teris is the object and purpose ot the prose- cution in so vigorously pushing the case against her. Ordinarily itis the frauds of an insane person who, after exhausting their own efferts to contrul the patent, resort to the asylum asa relief. But here it is a wealthy citizen who had little acquaintance with her and the ground of the complaint lies in de- manding a sumof money from him, which is claimed to be a delusion and aninsane notion. There is no claim that otherwisethe woman is not only sane but is 4 woman of more than average intelligence. —— Allpersons indebted to the shoe business of E. A.

In the district court yesterday City Attor- ney Stewart filed a demnurrer in the case of M. Blackmer against the city for $300 dam- ages alleged to have been sustained byihe loss of his barn on Lincoln avenue by fire several weeks ago. The plaintiff brought suitagainst thecity and the Council Bluffs waterworks company jointly and alleges that his loss was sustained by the negligance of the waterworks people to supply sufficient pressure to enable the firomen to extinguish the flames, and that the pressure was notsut- ficient to throw the water more than a fow feet high, and that the city was negligent in not advising tho water works company of the fire. The city demurrs tothisand denies re- sponsibility for lack of pressure, The plain- IfF relies upon the fuct that the alarm was telephoned in instead of being sent in the usual way to win his case, If the alarm had been sent from one of the boxes the signal would have been carried into the pumping station atthe river and direct pressure would have been turned on and the firemen would have been provided with means of fighting the fire and could have saved the building.
