Under these circumstances. the treasurer will not pay the teachers until ® majority of the membes of the board ap- rove the il and order itpaid. Moessrs.

Ho Escipes by Compromising with Ono of His Victims -Pay the " Teachers-Minor Men= tlon—Personals, A great deal of interest was awakened in the Hall ase for the reason that there was a large number of new vietims coming in - and reporting to the officers that they had been beaten by Hall, and asking to have him held until they could geta chance at him. One was Mr. I, P, Knight of Emerson, Ia., from wihom Hall secaredabout §00 in two accepted drafts, similarto the ones that Ritchison had given. Knight camo to the city when he a4 of Halls arrest, but had lected o file an information in his own county, Mills, charging him with the crime, before coming, o went to the chief of policeand told him allabout the deal, and put himself under the guidauce of that individual, He was told by that oficer that his neglect to filethe information in Mils county would prevent him holding Hall if he should b released, Kuight then asked him todirect him to some good attorney to whom hemight apply forlegal advice, The police oficer recommended A. W. Askwith, Hall's atorney, but neglected to acquaint Knightof the fa Yesterlay morning he teok Kiight to the attomey’s office, but kwith _did not give him any advice. Knight was not acquainted with the fact that he had been steered in the oftice of the attorney for Hall until hewas tola by Reporter Barrett, He went straight to the chief and ssked him for an_explanation. “The chief asked bim, Knight says,if be dido't want toget his paper back rather than to prosecute Flall, and he naturally admitted that he did, and said that he was a poor farmer who could il afford to lose M. “Well, Hall and Askwith have your note and when youget them you will have to get them oftic sald the chief, Knight's state- ment. that when he went into Askwith's oftice terday morning hewas detained there a long time inan effort tocompromise the case with Hall, Finally Hall offered to give up his drafts if Knight would pay him §200, but he refused, He was detained there upor one pretest or another during the greater part of the forenoon, but with Attorney Askwith's assistance failed to effcct & sitisfactory compromise with Hull and secure the notes, Askwith, asthe attorney for Hall, was under pro- fessional obligations to cléar him if he could, and he did all that could be_doze to effect a salisfactory compromise, Knjght claims to have had positive proof thatHall committed forgery, and was anxious to him ar. rested upon the charge but believed the story that had been told him that he could not do sountilhe first filea an information in Mills county, whero the crime was committed. While' he was beiug delayed in tb lawyer's ofice, Hall and his attore hud” effected a compromise with Ritch- ison, by which he agred to withdraw the charge. Whilehe was in the lawyer's office Ritchison appeared in J ustice Hendrick's court and withdrew the charge, and Hall was released, Ritchison paid the costs, which amounted to §11.15. ~ Before Knight knew of the transaction Hall wasout of the city. He naturally feels very indignant at the tréatment, he received at the hands of the chief of police, and is confident he could have sent Hall to the penitentiaryif hehad been given alittle assistance. When Attorney Askwith discovered that Knight had comé to him professionally, and without being in formed that he was the at- torney retained by Hall, he immediately ad- vised the victim toseek another law ofice. He wasdirected to D.M. West, who took hold of the case {)mmy\lly. An information was filed in Justice Schurz’ office charging Hall with forgery and & warrant was issued for his arrest, but before it could be served Hall was gone. Barly yesterday morning Sheriff Wilhan of Otoe county, Nebraska, arrived in the city in company with @ farmer named Joseph Lathrop, another of Hall's victims, He had been beaten out of €1,00 by the shrewd manipulator, and had laid his case before the grand jury and secured an indict- ment. Thetwo geatlemen got into Justice Hendrick’s ofice an _hour before Hall was was released. The sberiff was provided with requisition papers from the governor of Ne- braskaand was anxious to have Hall held until be could go to Des Moinesand have them honored. Justice Hendricks bad ob- tained an inkling of the contemplated com- promise with Ritehison, and advised them that Hall _was being held only by & pinhook and was liablo to got away any winute wupon o motion for dismissal, and urged them 1o take the necessary steps through an attorney tohave him held upon some other charge. The chlef of Yuuce was in the justice's office at the time, and the justice asked him to take the sheriff and the Otoe manto the nearest attorney’s ofMice, and sugeested Colonel Dailey or Judge Aylesworth, 1n the Merriam block, across the street, The chiel declined for the reason that he wasnot on friendly terms with the attorneys mentioned, and it wouldwt be pleasant. Hendricks then left his oftice with them and took them to Dailey’s ofice. Imme- diately after he returned Ritchison appeared and dismissed the caseand paid the costs, After leaving the office Hali got on an Omaha motor and went across theriver, and 50 faras known at the present time is happy on the way into temporary obscurity. During the rewainder of the day the wires were kept hot with messiges asking the ofticers to hold Hall for similar offenses com- mitted in neighboring towns. Before night cnough cases were reported to swell the amount he had obtained from farmers within the last few weeks to about £10,000 making him about as badly a wanted man as there is in the country ‘‘He is the most. remarkable man T ever saw,"'said Justice Hendricks. “Talk about magnetism! Thit man his ot more mag- netism than a repment of Blames, and 10 fellow need kick himself very hard for being caught by him. He would come pretty near making & man_ do about as he wanted him."

There were only about twenty persons present, und they Included the professionals alluded to and a few well known young bloods in this city, among them some local foot racers, The event was plamed to catch @ sucker and they gota great big fat fellow from Creston, who is a well known railroad man.

How insects, especially bees and ants, find their way back home is one of the marvels of natural history. Mv vife keeps bees, and my little boy las ataste for entomology and is always miking e perimentsof one kind or another with themand other insects, writes o farmer in the St. Louis be-Demoerat. He has been trying to find out how far away a bee can be taken and not et lost, but has not yet succeeded. [ live in the country. fourteen miles from the court house, and during the summer that boy has been in town with men dozen times, and on each occasion he brought some beesalongin alittletin box. He colored their wings with violet ink, so that he would know the insects again, and let themgo inthe heartof the ciy. The first time e did it he released six bees at the Biddle street market, and I believe they got home hefore we did, because they were all on hand at- tending to business next morning, just as though they took o fourtcen-mile jour ney every day, Ocasionilly a beefails to'come ‘hack, but in nearly every in- stance they return ina few hours. Once he let five whose wings had been colored red, out. of their boxat 6 o’clocic in the morning, on the cornevof Fourth and Biddle streets, while his little sister watched the hive athome. One amnived tivedalmost to death, and dropped at the door of the hive alittle before 2 o’clock, and three more came before § o’clock in the evening, all much fa- tigued. His experiments with anest of large black unts have been equally satisfactory, for some markedantshavy found their way home after being re- leased more than amile distant from the hollow tree in which they lived. How they do itis aquestion, but they gener- ally do, and so it islikely thetravels of bothants and hees are much wider than is generally supposed. Shrewd Austrian Diamond Thicvess A carringe recently drew up in front of ajewelry store in Vienna, Austria, a lady dressed in black alighted andusked to beshown an assortment of dimmon. rings.from which she selected one worth 75 florins, says the Jeweler’s Weekly An hourlatera stylish looking gentle- man called atthe same shop and usked to sce the proprietor,whom headdressed as follows “Sir, my name is Baron von S——and I have come ona delicate errand, An howr agonyoung ludy dressed in mourn: ing purehised a dinnond ring from you, but at the same time she purloined” an- other valuable ring.
