WERE T00 MUCH FOR CARVER He Proved to Be No Matoh for Mrs, Kemp and Her Dog. MORNING BATTLE UNDER THE VIADUCT of a Favorite Kighting Cock amily Conflict that Causes tement Among tho Its Details. Blaughter Leads to n Great K Squatters Not many moons ago the territory under the Sixteenth street viaduct was the scenc of almost daily rows, brawls and fights. ot late, however, the white winged dove of peace has been flapping Its wings over that particular locality until the squatter section along the tracks has been as quiet as the grave. Subsequent developments, however, bave furnished the conclusive evidenc this calm was the forerunner of a storm that has now broken forth in all of its old- time fury. Not far from the intersection of Sixteenth and Mason strects there are a number of small houses, two of which are occupied by the families of the Kemps and the Carvers, Bome years ago these two families h d a conflict over a cow, and since that day they have not been on speaking terms, nor has one member of the Carver family dared to cross the path of any member of the Kemp family. They have stood upon their respec- tive sides of the street, glaring at one an- other and whetting their knives in the event that open hostilities should be declared at any time in the future. Other residents of the vicinity have been crying for peace. at the same time urging the two warring factions on to open mutiny and a battle. In this they have been uns ful, both the Kemps and the Carvers declaring that their fighting days were over. This morning peace gave up all efforts to malntain that feeling of brotherly love, and burying its face in its hands, told the heads of the two families to cut loose and do their worst. The neighbors heard of the war declarations, and arranging their forces gazed as interested spectators upon the bat- tle. HOW THE ROW STARTED. It so happens that Mary Kemp ls the owner of a dog, a big, brutal fellow, while F. Carver possesses a rooster that has won several dollars for its owners by doing up other birds in the game pit. Soon after the sun had shed its rays over the viaduct, as the story told in court goes, Mary Kemp crawled from her bed, and In looking over her possessions she spied the Carver fowl digging away at the vegetables in her truck atch, making sad havoe with the beans and ettuce. This was more than the good rich blood of a Kemp could stand, and picking up a chunk of coal she shied chickenward it striking the game bird amidship. The bird made a couple of circles about the promises and then dropped dead upon the doorsteps of its owner. At_about this time of day Carver was crawling from his couch and drawing himself fnto his clothes he went out doors, stumbling over the dead carcass of a thing that for yoars had been his pride and joy. Picking up the rooster, he cast one glance at the home of the Kemps, and in casting that lance he saw enough to convince him that ary Kemp was the slayer of the bird Wild with rage and with blood in his ey he started across the vacant lot, fully intend- ing to have it out right there and then. At the door, however, he came to a sudden halt, and, in a_measure, changed his mind, as he was met by a bull dog that had not tasted meat for three days. There was a hot war of words and then man and woman closed in for a fight. 3 Carver got first blood by landing a_lower cut left hander squarely under Mrs. Kemp's left eye. As Carver struck, Mrs. Kemp dodged and in countering she hit Carver one under the chin. that sent him to grass. Tha crowd which had gathered gave th round to the woman and at once called arver up to the ropes for the second go. his was short and effective, Carver catching the woman by the neck and shutting off her wind. The spectators called a foul and gave the round to the female, who was bleeding like a stuck plg from the packing house. WHEN THE DOG GOT IN. After a short breathing spell the ccm- batants started on the third round, when the dog appeared to take a part, anl as Carver was getting in some short arm worlk on Mrs. Kemp's ribs, the beast jumpad upon him and at once commenced taking a break- fast from, arms, body and lezs. Caryer weakened and acknowledged that he had not been given a square deal. Thiz ac- knowledgement, however, did not stop the fighting so far as the dog and Mrs. Kemp _were concerned, for while one was pounding away at one end of the mun, the side part- ner ‘was industriously doing business at the other end, giving Carver the appaarance of having passed through a threshing macu- ine. At last he broke away and started up town, while the crowd went wild with joy, as it was the biggest cir:is of the scason. As Carver ran, Mrs. Xemn divine! his motives, opining that he was on his way to the 1o'ice station to gecur> a warrant for her arrest. Not to be behind in the arresting business, she started for :he station, and for a time it was a sprinting race that would have done credit to a couple of pro- fessionals. Carver, however, possessed the better wind and reached the station some fitty yards ahead of his competitor. This gave him the advantage and the first war- rant, but the woman was soon on hand and got second place without an effort. The result of the whole affalr is that both par- ties will be arrested and tried for disturbing the peace and quiet of the city. A CHARGE AGAINST JUDGE RICKS. Central Labor Unlon of Cleve and Demands a Congressional Investigation. CLEVELARD, July 19.—Resolutions de. manding a congresscinal investigation of Hon Augustus J. Ricks, judge of the United States circult court, were adopted by the Central Labor union at Its mecting last night. It was asserted that in 1886, while acting as clerk of the United States circult court in this district, Judge Ricks entered In the records a number of lawsuits known as th Birdsell cases, which were begun by farmers to test a statute. The cases were continued for several years, costs accumulating to a large amount. While the cases were pending, Clerk Ricks became Judge Ricks. It s al- leged that of the costs §3,600 was not prop- erly accounted for, Robert Brandlow, who introduced the reso- lutlons, stated that " the attention of Attorne: General Olney had been directed to the mat- ter.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY, JULY 20, 189L CAUGHT BY A NOVELTY STAR Grand Island Wilow Swindled Out of Her Savings by a Sharper, MRS, BROADWELL LOSES HER MONEY A Half Interest in fon that Failed Visions of Wenl Dispel Invested Hor Cash in Tneatrieal Combi to Muterinliz Kudely That a fool Is born every minute was the opinfon of a great philosopher. Some peo- ple never become too old to learn something more of the crafty ways of that class of hu- manity that subsists upon the credulity of others. All through their lives they live in a world where the parlor of the spider {s aiways open. Their experience has counted the victims of the confidence man and the flim-flam artist by the score. Every new swindle is exposed in the columns of the dally papers all over the country and still the rural victim continues to saunter heedlessly Into the tolls, He loses his money and his confidence, while the un- crupulous manipulator of the game fills his pockets and begins the search after another sucker. Mrs. B. A. Broadwell is a widow who lives in the bustling city of Grand Island. She has existed among the snares and follies of this wicked world for forty years and is con- sidered a woman of good sense and discern- ment. But recently she allowed herself to fall a victim to one of the most flimsy con- fidence games that has been perpetrated in Omaha for some time. She has gained ex- perience which she values at $250, and she paid that ount for it in good hard coin that she had labored for many years to ac- cumulate, - SHE HAD SAVED MONEY. Since her husband died, which was nearly ten years ago, Mrs. Broadwell has worked hard to make a living for herself and in- cidentally to lay something aside for old age. In this she was fairly successful and through hard work and economy she was the proprictor of a bank a unt expressed in three figures. During the latter part of May her attention was attracted by an ad- vertisement in_an Omaha daily paper. It was to the effect that a responsible and energetic man wanted a partner in a profit- able and safe business. It was the chance of a life-time, but as he needed the partner immediately he was wiliing to make over a half interest to some person who could assis him in the business and contribute $500 for the partnership. Hard work was not so attractive to the mind of the reader, but she was favor- ably inclined toward an opportunity to make money easily for the remaining years of her life and she finally concluded to reply to the advertisement. The proposition was signed by R. W. Trelegan, Colonade hotel Omaha, and in another day a letter was fraveling toward the address mentioned. The reply was more than satisfactory. The brilliant inducements referred to in the ad- vertisement were repeated and enlarged upon and the recipient was urged to come to Omaha and see for herself what a golden opportunfty fortune had placed in her path. After some reflection Mrs. Broadwell con- cluded not to let such a chance slip through her fingers and on June 8 she arrived in Omaha. She had no difficulty in finding Trelegan, who then unfolded his scheme for their mutual benefit. He represented that he was the lucky and only proprietor of the Star Novelty company, Wwith which he had engaged to entertain the crowds at Courtland beach for the remainder of the season. He had part of his company al- ready engaged and these consisted of h wife and a short-haired fairy who was with- out exception the greatest song and dance artist that had ever appeared before. the American public. This celebrated artist gave the prospective partner a free ex hibition of her attainments which were so different from anything that she had ever scen that she was ready to accept the state- ments of the manager that such an attrac- tion was sure to be a winner and bring in shekels by the cart load to enrich the com- mon treasury. WENT INTO THE COMPANY. All this and much more occupied several days and the upshot was that she deter- mined to join the company and a contract and an agreement were at once drawn up. By this Trelegan was to be the manager of the show. He was to contribute his ex- perience and $1,000 worth of scenery and >ther stage furniture which he claimed to have in storage and Mrs. Broadwell was to simply put up $500 for a half interest and remain with the company as secretary and treasurer. It seemed like a good thing and she was 5o charmed with Mr. Trelegan and his engaging wife that she did not think to make any further inquiries about his business standing or responsibility. She gave him $250 which was all she had with her and went back to Grand Island with the understanding that her manager would send for her as scon as he had completed the preliminary arrangements and signed the rest of his company. After her arrival in Grand Island she looked in vain for the promised communi- cition. As a couple of weeks passed with no news she began to wonder whether she had been too hasty in letting 5o of the simo- leons and finally she wrote to Trelegan to inquire the cause of the delay. Receiving no answer she addressed another letter to the fairy of song and dance celebrity, but with no better success. Then she became alarmed and took the train for Omaha. Arriving here she found that the party had left the Colonade and had gone to the Home botel on Thirteenth street. There she lost all track of them. They had left suddenly and no one kuew toward what point of the compass they had dirccted their departut A visit to Courtland beach developed the fact that Trelcgan and his show had never been heard of there, and then for the first time she admitted that she and her money had parted company. Then she went to County Attorney Kaley and wanted him to have a warrant issued for the rest of the swindlers. But as they had evidently made a masterly retreat nothing could be done in this direction, and the victim was assured that about the only thing left for her to do was to go back home and try to make her recently acquired experience fill the exca- vation in her bank account, —-— When Traveling.

The explosive fluid had nearly all burned out of the reser- volr, and in some manner became lgnited, exploding with terrific force. Mrs. Kuehel was knocked down, and the fiery fluid ran over her clothing, burning her arms, neck, face and head in a frightful manner.

Redmond is now being at tended to by Dr. Thomas Kelley and Dr. Slabaugh at the city hospital on Twenty fitth street, with very slim chances of re covery. The starte s committed upon by R streets, o'elock differences about between the two men two weeks ago while at a dog fight. They quarreled there and did not meet again until Wednesday night, when Crowley approached Redmond and sald, “Are you as'good a man as you were a few nights age?” Redmond opined that he was, and _ the two men began scrapping, Redmond getting the best of the fight. Officer Mulcahy happened along Just in time to separate the men and ordered them to go home. Up to this time the racket had only the appearance of a jaw bone scrap, and the officer thought nothing more of it. A short time afterwards he learned that the two men were fighting again, This time he took Crowley by t arm and marched him two blocks telling him if he did not go home he would lock him up. He then returned to chastise Redmond in a similar manner, when the dis- covery made that Redmond had been stabbed with an ugly butcher's knife. The wound was across the abdomen, and was fully six inches long. The blood was flowing in a stream to the man’s feet before he knew he had been cut. He felt the blow but supposed Crowley had only used his fist. When the officer saw Redmond's condition ho hastened to overtake Crowley and the two men were taken to the police station. Medi- cal aid was promptly summoned and as soon as possible Redmond was taken to the hos- pital. In removing Redmond's clothing it was discovered that he had also been gashed in the back. Crowley had plunged the blade of his sharp weapon into the center of the back, making a gash about three inches long ‘and very deep. Both wounds are seri- ous and extremely painful, and it Is con- sidered doubtful if the man can live. Crowley works at the Omaha packing plant. He is a burly fellow and the police say he Is tough. In Kansas City he was a member of the “Dirty Dozen,” ‘and here in South Omaha he is a shining light in the “Tin Front” gang on the hill. When Cap- tain Connell asked Crowley how he would like to face the charge of murder, he replied, “0, dat's nuttin’ when you gits use to e Assistant County Attorney Troupe filed a complaint charging assault with intent to Kkill and will let that stand until Redmond's condition is more fully developed. Redmond works at the Omaha packing plant also, but in a different de- partment. ~ He also boards at a differ- ent place. He does not have the apps ance of being tough, but is a physical giant. His home is at Indianapolis, Ind., and he has only been in South Omaha a short time. Asking for a Vet J. W. Smiley Is circulating a petition among the commission men at the Exchange building which requests Mayor Johnston to veto the ordinance compelling all dealers in dead hogs at the yards to have them hauled away by rail. The petition was being lib- erally signed and had over fifty name: at- tached when shown to a reporter for The Bee. Mr. Smiley claims that if the ordi- nance is passed it will practically drive him out of the business. He claims that by using wagons he cin remove his stuff as coon as purchased and get it out of the wa whilo if compelled to hire a car it would have to stand all day and would become a nuisance. AL Discussing Paving Material. The property owners on N strect between Twenty-fourth and Twenty-seventh held a meeting yesterday afternoon and discussed what sort of pavement they would like to have laid on this thoroughfare.
