Rosa Holden, the girl who was at bom of the whclo affair, has had considerable newspaper notoviety. Upon the death of her mother she went o livo with an aunt, Mrs, Gavdner.

At 5:30 o'clock last evening Ofticer O'Brien brought a very much desired individual to the city jail and booked him without putting any charge against hm. The fellow was Frank Kane, who has a long list of sins to answer for, not the least of which was the riot started by him when he led a gang of his tough confederates one Sunday night and broke up a moecting at the Fifth avenue Methodist church. Ou the same night he led a brutal attack upon a young man, whom he chased around the neighborhood threatening to kili im upon sight. Later he was charged with having set fire to the old building occu- pied by Mother Piko, who made her somewhat uotorious place the rep- dezvous for Kuane and his gang of toughs, Iuformations were filed in Justice Hendricks® conrt at tho t nd several war- rants were issued and placed in the hands of special constables, but Kane had left the stute. Some time afterward he was arrested in a small town in Missouri for a minor offense and the fact was communicated to the officers here, but nothing was done on ae- count of the prosecution not desiring to go to the expense of bringing the fellow home. A week or move ago Kane returned to the city. He had not been in town a day until he became intoxicated and created a disturb- ance on Officer O'Brien’s beat. The ofticer put the fellow under arrest without knowing who he was and started to the nearest patrol box to call for the wagon. Before they reached it Kane struck him a violent blow on the side of the head and escaped before he rocovered from its effects. Kane again left the city, but the assaulted ofticer has kept a sharp look out for him, Yesterday afteraoon Deputy Marshal White saw Kane at a distance, in the lower part of the city, aud reported the facy to O'Brien. A new information was hurriedly filed in the superior court, charg- ing him* with resisting an_ofticer, and the warrant was given to the ofticer who was so anxi0us to meet his assailant again. Deputy White accompanied him, for it was known that Kano was a desperate charac The ve to the residence of IKane’s mother, near Seventeenth street and Tenth avenue. He was atthe house and saw the officers coming, but before he could getoutof the building be was caught. He noted O'Brien's willingiess to encourage him to st a little, and wisely concluded to give up, The officers of the Fitth Avenue church are expected to come forward now and prose- cute the fellow, aud after they get through with him e will be called upon to answe for his assault upon O'Brien. The city at- torney will be asked to formulate churges this morning, and he will doubtless be glad to hear the complaints of the Fifth avenue people.

Hereafter uo unlimited tickets will be sold between this city aud Chicago. All who want to make the trip must either buy their subject o certain condi- tions impos by the company, or else take acvantage of the rights of every free-bora American citizen and go some other way. The main condition is that the ticket will only bo good one day after issue. ‘T'heresult ox this will be that the Burlington tickets will no longer be found in the hands of the ticke: brokers either in Chi- cago, Council Bluffs or in any of the inter- mediate points, Heretofore the *scalpers’ bave dono & flourshing business They were at first looked upon by the companie a8 vl able addition to railway ciiclos, But little by littie they began to bo regarded with less favor, and uow the Burlington is taking this decided step with a view to driving them out of business. Auother change which is made is the in- crease of the rate botween here and Ch from $12.50 to $12.75, What the outcome of the new system will be 1t is as yet impossible to toll. It would ap- pear that unless the other roads co-operate with the Burlington the scheme would fall flat. The agents of the Rock Island, the Northwestern and the Milwaukee roads were asked whether the companies which they represent were in the deal, and the reply in each case was that they had heard nothing of it.
