Case Against the Gamblers Submitted to the Jury -Notes. The arguments in the pool room case oc- cupled the time in the criminal court yester- day. The court overrruled the motion of the defense to require the state to®specify on which count the case should go to the jury, and County Attorncy Kaley opened the argu- ment for the state. He was followed by Judge Davis and Mr. Gurley for the defense, Judge Doane closing for the state. Mr. Gurley reflected somewhat severely on the county attorney, stating that the latter had claimed to be greatly shocked that pool rooms should have been allowed to run openly in this city for five or six years, yet Mr. Kaley had been county attorney for nearly two years and had done nothing to close them, although charged with the duty of prosecufing all criminals. He had done absolutely nothing in this direction, and it had remalned for a private prosccution to take the place of public prosecution before a move had been made in this direction. The case went to the jury shortly after 5 o'clock. The instructions of the court were quite lengthy, and were exceedingly unsatis- factory to the defense. James D. Phillips is plaintiff in Judge Ambrose’s court in a suit against Arthur Pulaski, ex-poundmaster. Suit is brought to recover $400, the value of a herd of cattle that were seized by Pulaski while grazing between Omaha and South Omaha, and sub- sequently sold. Jennfe V.

Dwelley, to take charge of several incom- plete plumbing contracts on which the de- ceased was engaged at the time of his death, Another bunch of afidavits have been filed in the garbage contract of Coombs against MacDonald. The case of Switzer & Co. of New York against Mrs. Isabella B. Morse, now on trial befora Judge Baxter, Is the outgrowth of the attempt of Samuel P. Morse to again embark in the dry goods business some time ago. He bought a large bill of goods of the plain- tiff, and, after he was compelled to close up his house, the plaintlff took back the goods, with the exception of about 3900 worth, which had been sold. To secure this sum Morse agreed to give a note signed by him- self and wife, which was done. Suit is now brought to collect this note. Mrs. Morse denies that the signature of her name is genuine, and comparisons with signatures admittedly genuine led the court to conclude that the signature on the note was a forgery. Time was given the plaintiff to secure proof that the signature was author- ized by Mrs. Morse, and if that cannot be done the case will be dismissed by the plaintiff, P WEATHER FORECASTS, Falr Weather for Nebraska Saturday, with Variable Winds.

CRESTON, Ia, May 11.—(Special Tele- gram to The Bee.)—Ed Blair, a member of the recently captured gang of counterfeiters, now out on bail and claiming to be a spe- clal officer employed to capture the remain- ing members of the gang, got into serious trouble while endeavoring to place Charles Craven, his brother-in-law, under arrest.

At 5 o'clock fire was found in the basement of the building in a woodpile saturated with kerosene. It was quickly extinguished and Chief Hawman went through the building, but found no sparks. Twenty minutes later a second alarm was turned; in. This time seven fires were found in as many rooms of the house, all under headway. All were extin- guished. They were started by soaking up- holstered funiture and bedding with Kero- sene and applying a match. The damage to furniture is $2,000. The loss would have been $30,000 had the incendiarics succeeded.

The charges against Lieu- tenant Maxwell are not known to any except the defendant and a few officers high in rank, but it is reported that Maxwell has beeen absent without leave and has dupli- cated his pay accounts. At any rate the charges are serlous, fu Colonel Bates has placed Maxwell in close arrrest and he will be compelled to remain in his quarters until the trial comes off. Lieutenant Maxwell has only been with the Second infantry about two months, having been transferred here from the Fifteenth infantry, Fort Sheridan, 1ll, when he was promoted. At the trial of Lieutenant Maney for the shooting of Captatn Hedburg at Fort Sheridan some time ago Maxwell was a witness, and his veracity in some of his statements was questioned. The lieutenant is a single man and since his arrival at Fort Omaha has made many friends, Officers at this post, knowing of his difficulties at Fort Sheridan, have taken particular pains to show him every courtes possible and have endeavored to make him feel at home among the members of th Second. At the Officers club he was alw well received, and if any of those he met there had a dislike against the man who was mixed up with Maney they kept it to themselves. Lieutenant Maxwell has a copy of the charges preferred against him, but so far he has not requested any of his brother officers to act as his counsel, and it is not known what defense he will make.
