Suit was brought in Justice levy's court and the Justice decided that the ‘;lmuun Sautter, had faiied to provo that he was'the rightful owner of the licenso neld by Mr. Jetter, con- gsequently the case went in the favor of the Fouth Omaba Brewing association, Arrosted for Plumhing, Robert Groener, & well known capitalist, is under arrest for doing is own plumbing, M.

Hume pluivers learned of this, and hastening 10 the scene caught Greouer in the very act of wiplog a joint. Tlo plumoers therefore repaired to the po lice station and caused the arrest of Greener for violari~¢ the ordinance which provides that not dv but plumbers shall do plumb- ing. Police Judwe King says that the spirit of tue rlulnbml ordinance is to protect the public from the unhealthy offects of bad rlumbln[. and consequently any person vio- ating its provisious must suffer the fine in- eidont, The follisters Keleased. As nobody appeared to proseeute Mr. and Mra. James Hollister, the two were reloased from custody. The pair were arrested on the clurgo of liviog together as man aad wife, altbough the woman bad a husband in Towa. As the proseculing witness fled to un known parts, it is alleged that the prosecu tion was purely malicious and that there Were no grounds for arrest, Trouble Over & Board Bill, I'at Grace, an ex-employe of the Omaba Puckiog compuny, went w the oftice of Lae i establishment yesterday to draw $17 due him for past work. There he learned that tho money due him had been garnisheed by Mrs, Mary Kelly, who claimed that Pat owed her a board bill” A noisy demonstration followod this announcement and Special Oficer Moso Redmoud found it nocessary to use a ciub and leave a gash on Pat’s forehead that ex- posed tho skull. Pat_went to the polico station and there his wounds were dressed by a physician. A fow hours alierwards he again appeared at the volice station, but this time under arrest, Mrs. Kelly alloges that he had como to her home and raised a great disturbance on ac- count of the garnishea, The Omaha Market Excels, During the month of January the Omaha stock market eclipsed all other wmar kets in the country in comparison with its trado a year ago. ln Chicago, Kau sas City and St. Louis there was a markea docrease compared with the markets during January, 1801, Tn Omaha there was & splendid increaso.

There was a ripple of oxcitemant at the Stock exchange yesterday outside of the usnal causes, riso and docline in prices. This time it was a pugilistic affair. A stockman from the wost numed Stewart came in with Stock,-and for the first time in two or three weeks be met Captain Parkhurst, the senior member of a woll known commission firm here. Parkhurst claims that Stewart had been vilifying him and attempting te injure his business. As aresult the two came together th morning like angry thunder clouds, and after the storm had ceased Stewart looked decidedly the worse for weal He vowed revenge, ana rushing to the police station caused Parkhurst's arrest.
