FOUGHT THE WHOLE FAMILY | Trial of an 014 Street Oar Driver Who Once Killed a Robber. HARRY WOOLDRIDGE’S CAREER RECALLED | Hero of an Exeiting Fight with Thieves Defendant 11t Cane—The Policoman’s Marksmanship Was Viry Bad—Court Cullings. n an As n the criminal division of the district eourt the case against Harry L. Wooldridge, which has been monopolizing considerable public attention during vhe past week, has been submitted to the jury, and although the twelve men have considered the law and the evidence for more than twenty-four hours, they unable to agree upon verdict This is a case wherein the defendant is charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm, committed upon about all of the Gortter family, residing out in Kensing G of the northwestern suburbs of the city As the story goes and as told in the courts, the elder Gortter some ten years go rented a strip of meadow land not far from his residence. There for several years he has cut hay for the market, and has been in undisturbed possession. Last summer he cat the hay as usual, and everything went well until about the middle of Jul when early one morning Wooldridge appeared upon the scenc and declared that he proposed to cut the remainder of the standing wrass. August, Gort| a_young man, protested, welling Wooldridee that the land was leased by his father, and that other people w forbidden from doing any baying upon t particular tract of ground. Held His Own Against Odas, Wooldridge replied that he did not care a d—n about any lease, that he had o right to cut the grass and that he proposed to make hay during the sunshine, With that he whipped up his horses, which were at- tached to the mower, and commenced to cut the grass. August Gortter followed along and as soon as the opportunity preseuted itself he seized the horses by the bridles and brought them to a stand still. This aroused the ire of Wooldridge, and jumping from nis seat on the mower he seized a monkey wrench, with which he belabored the lad over the head, knocking him down and ¢ ting him in a frightful manner. Mr Gortter, who was standing in the door of the house, a few rods distant, secing that her son was getting the worst of the fight. eagerly rushed to the fray, but, hike the boy, was 8000 put to sleep by a few kicks from Wooldridge's he: boots daughter, Mary, then jumped into the bi ch, but, like her brother and mother. she went down like the g before the mow E knocked the whole family out of the tho man continued his mowing, feeling that he had fought the battle and had won a victory. Tne next day he was arr examination was held to an trict court, where he is now v verdict of the jury. Wooldridge is o man with a repuatation, having stuked his fortune in Omaha some years ago. coming from some little town in Missouri. Shortly after arriving here he found employment as a driver of a street erating on the old line on North Eighteenth street. Momories of His Caree During the summer and fall of 1 car robberies were of frequent oecurrence, and there was hardly a night when some driver was not held up in the outskirts of the city and relieved of the cash box. Two or three times these bandits had struck the Eighteenth street line, but none of them had hit Woolridge's ca One September afternoon a number of the cardrivers were sitting m the car barn av Twenty-sixth and Lake streets, discussing the many robberies and telling what they would do if they were held up. Wooldridgo had been a listener, and after the others had finished, he remarked, “If a man holds me up. I'll put a ball through his heart. His associates laughed, cousidering it a joke, for they had made up their minds that Wooldridze was a coward and that he would deliver as soon as his h box was de manded from the front end of the cal That night Wooldridge took the late run on the Iighteenth line uand just before midnight, as he was making his last trip in, and when he was just back of A. J. Popple- ton's residenge, near the intersection of Spruce street. . man stepped from behind the shade of a tree and, pointing a gun, demunded the h. Without saying a word Wooldridge reached into the cash box and, instead of pulling out the dimes and dollars, pulléd a revolver, which he tantly leveled upon the robber and fired. The man fell to the ground and Wooldridge drove out to the burn, where he told tho watchman t he had shot a robber. Then he went to the police station, told his story and surrendered to the authorities. The patrol was sent to the scene of the shooting and there the dead body of John Ruckles, a notorious crook, ‘was found, Fultitled His Propnesy, An examination of the body proved that Wooldridge had been true to his word and that he haa put a ball through the heart of th robber. The next ay the coroner’s jury sat upon the case, returning a verdict that Ruckles had come to his dea rom the effects of a pistol ball, fired I rry Wooldridge, who Wwas acting in aefense, This verdict ex- onerated Wooldridge and for a time he w. a lion in the eyes of the publi He was toasted and feasted by the street car com pany, while the patrons of tho car line raised a snug litile purse of money which they presented to the man who had the nerve to shoot a robber, After that Wooldridge had over a family affaj as diughter of a prominent and w ! Bearcely had the ¢ many been performed when a woman from Missouri appeared upon the scene and furmshed conclusive evidence that she was Mrs. Wooldridge No. 1, and that there had never been any legal separa tion.

CH ROW, Btory of Division of & Lutheran tion in Burt Counry, The sorry spectacle of a church being di- vided against itsell is being exhibited to the public in Judge Ferguson's court, where one facuion is seeking to secure an order re- straining the other faction from using the house of worship. 878 Simon Korl deeded to the trustees of the Evangelical Lutheran St Paul ehurch of Burt and Dodge countics ten acres of lund seven miles southwest of Oakland in Burt county, so the petitioners allege and aver, with the distinet understanding that the soviety would erect a church building thereon and maintaiu it forever. 1n the due course of time the little church was orected and a pastor installed, and things went well nd the work of saving souls commenced But in 1800 Rey. X4 Bergh, the pastor, was W. . Iricke elected in Congreg ‘This change of vastors caused trouble and the membership of the chyrch split in Swain, each faction following the lead of its respectiv T'wo keys, however, were supplied, and on each alternate Sabbath one of the men of God held forth to his own flock. Aftera while this wmethod of pro- cedure “became tiresome and the followers of Fricke rebelled, claiming that they were the disciples of the Evaugelical Lutheran ehureh of St. Paul, aud what the mewbers of the flock which was guided by Bergh were Interiopers. From that time on It has been a fight to the death. Iirst one side would have pos session of the house of God and them the sther would hold the fort. Doors were barred and broken and arrests were wade until the whole affair became a public scan- #al. Fioully, and at last, and in order to settle the matter for all time to come, Henry Mosemanu, Rudolph ©. Suhr and Gerhard javekort, the trustees of the original organ- tion, went into the district court and asked for an 1njunciion restraining the other g the chu any manner | whatever, claimine that they were about to | take the church out of the Nepraska synod | and place it under the control of the synod | of the state of Missouri. I'ney also aver that at a secret meoting this outside faction stole the old constitution of the church and in its stead substitutea another constitution in which it was provided that the church should be named St. Paul's Gierman Luth eram church On this showing the temporary order was granted and now,the desire is to have the injunction made permanent.

It was a nip and tuck r and the minion of the 1w was becoming winded Just then a happy thought flitted through the brain of the bluecoat and he conciuded that he would shoot the man instead of run- ning him down. Pulling his gun he blazed away, but instead of shooting the burglar he shot the boy, who was in un opposite direc- tion and some fifty feev away. ‘The humilia- tiou of beiny; such a poor shot caused the officer to turn his star over to the city, after which the father of the lad sued the officer and his bondsmen for damages, Hunt's 1 At Elorence, By the terms of the stipulation, the aged and time-worn case of George J.
