MES, MADSEN'S HOODOO. Number Three Scattered All Through an v iccessful Damage Sult. It has been proved conclusively mind of Ingre Madsen that the number “three” is her hoodoo and that no good can come to her in the event that this numeral enters into the considcration of any matters with which she may have any connection. On the third day of the third month, three years ago, at 3 o'clock in the after- noon, Ingre Madsen was a passenger on a Sherman avenue car bound for the north end of the line. At that time she was riding on train No. 3, composed of motor No. & ant a coach bearing the same hoodoo nuniber. As she proceeded on her way, three times she told the conductor, who hore a badge numbered “three,” that she wanted to stop at Seventeenth and Burt streets. Midway of the block, before reaching her destination, she arose in her seat and pulled the bell cord three times, after whih she went out upon the platform and jumped off the car while it was in motion, alighting three feet south of the south side of the intersection, when it was not expected that the train would stop until it had reached the north side of the train. In getting off this train Mrs. Madsen took three steps and then fell to the pavement with force sufficient to break one of her legs in three places, be- sides fracturing three of her ribs. For three months she was confined to her bed, but on the third day of the month during which she got upon her feet, she consulted a law- yer who was 83 years old. He averred that she had a cause of action and suit for $12,200 was instituted in the district court of this county. At the third term of the district court, preceding the one now in session, the case was called for trial in room No. 8, where for three days it was fought with all of the skill known to the legal profession After the facts had been submitted, the Jury deliberated for thirty-three hours and then returned a verdict, assessing $1,500 as the amount of her damag The defendant, the Omaha Street Railway company, made its showing and got a new trial, and at the third erm of th court, held during the year the case was agmin called for trial in room N whero another three-day trial was held, resulting in the plaintiff securing a verdict for $1,000 damages. During this trial Louls Norberg, the bailiff, was charged with having attempted to bribe three of the jurors and upon conviction he was fined §150 and sent to jail, where he remalned for three a after which he gave three mortgages and raised the money to pay his fine. Three days after the rendition of verdiet, the defendant applied for a new trial, alleging the tampering of the bailift with'the jury, and three days after that time the order was made. On the third day of the present week the cage was called for the third time in room No. 3, and at 3 o'clock this morning the jury returned its verdict, finding for the defendant. to the the Claims Sho Was Swindled, The case of Annle R. Kinkald agalnst Morris J. Jones and others h n called for trial in the court presided over by Judge Keysor. In this action the plaintiff seeks to recover the sum of $3,000 damages, alleg- ing that she has been defrauded out of that sum of money. For a_cause of action she avers that during the summer of 1888 she was the owner of certain lands and lots in the city of Omaha. In June of that year she alleges that she wanted to trade her perty for a few city lots. Knowing that Blie wa sessed of some real estato tha had a good market value, she called upon the plaintift_and proposed to exchange he stons for of the lots in Mayne addition, Jones was willing to make the deal and having explicit confidenco in his fntegrity she avers that she made out a deed f her property and left it in his keeping Several times sho called for the deeds for the property, which sho claims that she w to have in exchange for her lots, but up to this date she avers that it has been held back. Now she charges that she is unabl to get back her own property or that for which she was to trado.

FEBRUARY 16, UNDER CLOAR OF Cll‘;\RITY Four Men Have Splendid Success in Swin- dling Oitizens of Omaha, THREE ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE POLICE Sold Tickets for a Hospl al Ball - Their Are Professi —Got 1 Fund Charity They 1s at the Business Is of Dollars, alpments Show Yesterday afternoon Detectives Savage and Dempsey arrested Willlam F. D. Howard and N. D. Coleman on suspicion. The prisoners are accused of being Impli cated in a great big fraud perpetrated the charitably inclined people of Omah About two weeks ago four well d genteel appearing men appeared lat the Colonade hotel, Fifteenth and kson streets, and inscribed thelr names upon the register. They applied for rooms and board and without being pald a week's board in advance. To all appearances the four formed a jolly gang and had a great deal of quiet fun among themselves and made many friends among the regular guests of the house. When an inquiry as to their busines made they always said that had be west by the “Chronicle Railws clation” to write up the financial condition of the western cities in order to g would-be bond purchasers an exact idea of the condition of each city now offering bonds on the eastern market. As a rule the quartet left gether in the morning after breakfast and again after dinner. They were a little late in leaving yesterday, and as a result fell into the police net. CHARITY BALL The game was this gang went to McCoy 2 office and had 1,000 tickets printed for a grand charity ball, under the auspices of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Railway - ployes association, on March 7 at Washing- ton hall, the proceeds to go to the estab- lishment of a hospital fund. Each ticket was neatly stamped with a seal of the alleged association and to all appearances everything was as straight as a string. In addition to th ickets the sharpers had prepared a very neat subscription sioIt was typewritten on a printed letter head of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Employes assoclation. At the top was printed the following of office W. F. Kent, president ; V. ans, vice president; . J. Harris, secretary; 'J. C. Woodward, treasurer.

It was the custom of the men to pair off and lay out a route, each pair to stay on its own territory. AROUSED SUSPICION. Wednesday they must have got a little mixed in their dates, for two calls were made at the Schlitz company’s office. Manager Marhover is a pretty shrewd man himself, and when he was offered tickets a second time he sized the sellers up and telephoned the police. A couple of detectives looked at the tickets and called on the jan- Itor at Wasiington hall for information. Investigation showed that the hail had been rented for the night in question, and as everything appeared all right the case was laid “over for the time being. sterday morning Mr. Marhover saw Detectives Say- age and Dempsey and told them his opinion of the well dressed, oily tongued men and in less than two hours the case had been brought to a head and three of the swindlers were in jail. Just alter dinner yesterday and while the four sharpers, Herman, Howard, Coleman and Voorhees, were standing around the hotel office smoking cigars the two detectives ontered from different doors and very quietly asked Herman and Coleman to step to the door. The arrests were made so quickly and quietly that hardly any one in the crowded lobby knew anything about it. The complaini the officers had was for two men only, but Dempsey spotted Howard sliding toward the door and caught him before he got away. Voorheces made a sliding skate and disappeared out of the side door as soon as he saw his pals in the hands of the de- tectiv He broke for the river and has not been scen since. The police have an | idea, however, that they will cateh him before he gets far away. After the arrest of tho trio they were taken to the captain's office at police head- and questioned. Each one claimed n_employe of the Chronicle Railway News of New York City and offered to show* up his credentials. When the officers asked for the papers each one happened to remember that the documents had been left in his room. WHAT THEIR GRIPS CONTAINED. While this little talk was going on Ci tain Mostyn and an officer were busily en- gaged in searching the rooms in the Col- onade occupied by the prisoners. Tho satchel of each man was brought down and searched. About 200 unsold tickets wero found in one, in another was the seal and in Coleman’s grip was found the subscrip- tion list A small set of tools and acids for making and changing seals were found in one of the satchels, also a lot of printed letter heads, showing that the same game had been worked in other cities, When searched by the jailer showed some memorandum™ books and 50 cents. Herman and Howard fared better as far as cash was concerned, for their ag. gregate wallots stacked up about $300. As the turnkey took the men below each pris- oner protested his innocence, but their bluff aidn’t last lonz The police telephoned for several respons ible parties to identify the swindlers. Metz Bros. came up, the Paxton hotel people, Thomas Kilpatrick, Mr. Marhover and a representative of the Nebraska Clothing company. The prisoners were identified be yond a doubt and F 1 finally and confessed that he and his pals had been selling the tickets Every business house In swindled for from $2 to $20. All of the banks gave $15 to the cause, and some of tho cashiers of these institutions supple mented the official gift:by a private dona tion, From the fact that $300 was found in the possession of Herman and Howard it is likely that those who bought tickets may get a share of their money back, but it is thought that the total amount secured from citizens must be nearly §1,000, - -~ Make a note of it—25 cents buys the best liniment out, Salvation Ol DS .

Hill awoke to the realization of the fact that ke was a widower, pro tem, if not one forever. On January 2 of the present year, with a new sultsof clothes and a heart full of joy, Mr. Hill led Ella Reed to the altar, presided over by Rev. A. W. Clark of Rescue hall, where she promised to forsake all others and cling to him, alone, in sickness and health. The young man was as happy as any man could be under similar circumstances, and at once he went his way, fitting up a cage for his bird. The honeymoon had hardly passed when the young bride commenced to pine for the company of others besides her husband. Mr. Hill was as innocent as a new born babe and had all confidence in his wife. He wanted her to have company and a good time. Now, however, he is convinced that he gave her too much rope and that if he gets another wife, or if he gets the old one back again, he Will draw the lines a little closer. Hill and his wife had a mutual friend whose name might have been Smith, but it is not, nor will it ever be. This mutual friond’ had free access to the home of the Hills, and for this very reason Mr. Hill yesterday was a very sad and mad man as he went speeding toward Kansas City, armed with a gun and a warrant for two. During the early 2ays of the prosent week Mrs. Hill informed her husband that she was going out to spend the night &vith one of her girl chums and that she would not re- turn until morning. _The husband filed no objections, but upon the coming of the morn Blla camé not. Then he concluded that there was a colored man in the family wood pile, and an investigation was insti- tuted, which resulted in the shocking dis- covery that the bride of a month and the mutual friend had taken passage for the city of the Kaw, both going on the same train and at the same time Wednesday night Mr. Hill wired the officers at Kansas City to watch for the flecting couple, and this morning he was made happ: by the receipt of a telegram announcing the fact that both man and woman had been ar- rested and were In durance vile. Hurrying to the office of the county judge, Mr. Hill secured a copy of his marriage license and then pulled out ou the first train, declaring that he would make the shatterer of his home-idol gweat blood before he was through with him .
