The Dunbar Opera company presented “‘Fra Bombarda,” an opera_entirely new to Coun- cil Bluffs people, at the new Dohany theater last evening to an audience which was some- thing of an improvement over that of Tues- day night in point of size, although it could not have been in enthusiasm.

Linden, superintendent of police at Philadelphia, was cause for con- siderable rejoleing among Sherift Hazen and his men. It stated that J. Riley, the bank robber, who aided In looting a bank at Gris- wold last winter and, on being captured with his two pals at the Kiel hotel in this ci | shot Deputy Sherift Nick O'Brien and made lis escape, was safely housed within walls of the jail at Philadelphia. The particulars of the bank robbery and the subsequent shooting affray are familiar to readers of The Bee, George Willard, one of the crooks, was struck by a bullet from O'Brien’s gun, but recovered In time to be | sent with his’companion, “‘Spooney” Butler, to the Fort Madison penitentiary on the charge of burglari a government depos- itory. h has a term of four o five years still to ve. Riley Is not the real name of the burglar | now in custody. His real name is known to the officlals, but is withheld by them until he 18 lodged in the county jail here for fear | that he might escape on” some technicality | in case his brother crooks all over the coun- try were notified by the papers of his pre- dicament. They have no doubt, however, that lie is the right party. He refused to sit | for his plctur t Superintendent Linden's telegram states positively that he is the right man. He Is recognized by the authorities all over the country as an uncommonly danger- ous criminal, and a member of a most des- perate gang. Last July Deputy Sherift O'Brien recelved a letter from Whllard at the penitentiary, stating that a friend of his located at Wind- sor, Can., just across the line from Detroit, had been' in correspondence with E. Fraser, inspector of police at Detroit, for the pur- nose of having the robbery case at Griswold dismissed g0 far as Willard was concerned, upon condition that Willard would give up the secret of Riley's identity, September 2 a letter was received here from Inspector Fraser stating that he had no doubt that such an agreement could be entered into, and advising_that it be done. Both letters were politely but firmly tabled. Fraser also stated that Riley had lots of friends in Detroit, and a “solid” woman, by whose assistance he could undoubtedly be located, O'Brien went to Prescott, Can., last month in reply to a telegram announcing that Riley was in fail there. He had been, but through the manipulations, it is said, of a detective who was friendly to him, he was turned loose shortly before O'Brien arrived. O'Brien stopped at Nlagara Falls, N. Y., August 20, and it has since been learned that on that very day Riley was in the same place, but they fafled to meet. Riley, Willard and Butler were all arrested in Oswego a year ago last August, but se- curcd bonds and jumped them. Butler, ac- cording to a letter received from the au- thoritfes at Jackson, Miss., is wanted there for killing a deputy sheriff, but the Jackson people are not likely to get hold of him until after he has served out his sentence of six years at the hande of the government, to- gether with a sentence of perhaps ten years, which will undoubtedly be given him upon his trial In the district court of Cass county. BOTH Landlord I e Revere Having Much Trouble. Landlord Duwe of the Revere house has been suffering lately at the hands of dead beats who picked him out as the kind of man who would be in business for his heaith. One of them is an old soldier, M. N. Bur- gess by name, of Detroit, who has been making the hotel his hanging out place for some little time. He is paralyzed on one side, but that fact did not prevent him from getting around among the ladies at a pace that would have been the envy of many younger and stronger men. He made violent love to a woman who was taken with his parzlytic charms, and resolved to elope with House him. Her plan was carried out according to schedule. A lot of furniture which she had bought from an Omaha second-hand dealer was taken to the Burlington depot and shipped to Toledo, O., regardless of the fact that she had not paid for it. This was Wednesday morning, and Burgess dis- appeared at the same time, leaving a bill for board amounting to $46 due and unpaid. Mr. Duwe telegraphed to the pension agent in Michigan, who had sent Burgess his pen- sion money a day or two ago, which enabled him to take the journey with his inamorata, and was told that the government would see that the $6 was kept out of Burgess' pen- slon money next quarter. Four hangers on around the race track who put up at the Revere house have also disappeared, leaving bills for several dollars aplece unpaid. James Rogers, who has be- come familiar to the habitues of the track as a dealer in “sure tips,” was picked up at the race track yesterday by Constable Albert] for going away leaving a $4.50 board bill behind him for the landlord to remem- ber him by. He will be tried before Jus- tice Cook. Cloakns, New fall and winter garments for ladies, misses and children just opened. 5 cases ladies’ and misses’ short jackets. 3 cases ladies’ cloth and plush capes. 2 cases ladies’ long cloaks. 5 cases children's cloaks and short jackets, 3 cases fur capes.

FOWLER, DICK & WALKER, 401-403 Broadway, Ceuncil Bluffs. Expensive Litigation. The long drawn out case of Shafter agalnst the Lake Manawa Railway company and Colonel F._C. Reed came to its first stop- ping place yesterday afternoon, although the end s not yet, by any means. Owing to the prolonged iliness of Colonel F. C. Reed, a pestponement had to be taken, and Judge Thornell made an order that on September 30 his testimony and whatever other might be necessary, should be heard before John H. Clark, the court reporter, as referee. The evidence thus taken Is to be extended and then submitted to Judge Thornell, to- gether with all the other books and papers, which amount In all to about a cord and a half, and a decision will be rendered by \him at his leisure. The expense of extend- ing the testimony is to be paid half and half by the plaintiff and defendant. r fifteen days this case has been on trial, and the' witness fees amount to more than $200. Three witnesses, Jerry Shea, D. Ashton and Miss Holladay, Colonel Reed’s private secretary, are paid expert fees, $3 a day, which makes their fees for the last fiticen days $45 each. Other costs makes the whole amount up to more than $300,: jvhich ‘will have to be paid by the party o Yes, the Eagle laundry is “that good laundry,” and is located at 724 Broadway.

Blood & Co, The Hardman plano Improves with use, Held Up by & Lome Robber. As Peter Lefferts was passing the coal sheds on Sixteenth avenue, near Third street, on his way to his home in the south- ern part of the city, about 10 o'clock last evening, he was accosted by a lone high- wayman, who shoved a revolver under his nose and ordered him to hold up his hands. The draft was naturally honored at sight, and the highwayman went lelsurely through Lef- the | | ferts' pockets, from which he derived $2 in cash. He then marched Lefferts to the steps In front of Dr. 0. W. Gordon's house and made him sit there until he, the high- wayman, was safely out of sight. Lefferts then lost no tims In notifying the police. He described the robber as a big man, wear- ing a dark, slouch hat, dark coat and light trousers. The police on investigating found that he had becn seen during the night loaf- ing about the Burlington yards with the evident intention of ge:ting out on one of the late trains, and as he disappeared from sight the supposition is that he succeeded in his attempt.

The trouble came about by Morearty trying to get Jerry Taylor and B. Dicken out of jail on what the judge thought were straw | bonds. On the night of the assault at Adam Case's house these men were arrested on suspicion, a police officer having found them hiding in a box car at 4 o'clock in the morning. Upon being searched at the jafl it was found that both men carried iron knuckles, and Dicken had a loaded revolver. Judze Christmann sent both men up to the county Jail on September 5 for twenty-five days on a vagrancy charge. Last evening while Judge Christmann was at supper, Morearty called at his house, and presenting two bonds, asked the judge to recognize them and allow his clients to get out of jail. At a glance the judge saw that the bonds were not properly drawn, and re- fused to accept them. Morearty = became | abusive and threatened to mandamus the court. Then he said he would get his clients out on a writ of habeas corpus. Morearty continued to abuse the judge and made a pass as if to strike him. This was t00 much and Morearty was ordered from the house. As he started for the door he turned and sald to the judge: “You are a — —— drunken sot.” At this the judge arose from his dining table and placed Morearty under arrest and booked him at the fail for disturbing the peace. Before being placed in a cell Morearty stated tc a Bee reporter that he and the judge had some words, and that possibly he had insulted the court. If he had he was very sorry, and just as he was being locked up he offered to apologize to the court if he would be released. The judge declined to accept the offer and refused for the time to admit the prisoner to bail. « Judge Christmann said that he refused to accept the bonds because there were not properly made out, because the signer of the bonds had not appeared in court and justi- fled, and because the police had obtained ine formation that both prisoners were fugitives from Justice. When_ Jerry Taylor was arrested and searched the following note, dated Newport, Ind., June 8, 1895, was found on his person: “Received of Jerry Taylor $25, for defend- ing him on the charge of assault with intent to kill.” Signed, C. W. Ward. It has wince been learned Jumped his bonds The notary public whose seal appears upon the bonds offered by Morearty is S. B. Clark and the bondsman’s name Is given as Charles B. Schroth. On both bond papers the no- tary’s seal appears, but meither of the papers is signed by the notary; neither does the seal designate when the notarial commission ex- pires. This fact alone @roused the suspicion of the judge that the bonds were not good. Quarreled Over the Chips, There was a fuss yestérday in Carter & Harvey's gambling house which resulted in the arrest of John Bexel and Ed Nicholson, Bexel has been playing the wheel for about a week, and has at times won money. - Yes- terday afternoon he went up to the gambling rooms and started to play. Nicholson was rolling the wheel. Bexel procured a stack of checks on credit .and lost. Then he wanted another stack, but was refused be- cause he had declined to pay for the first stack. Words followed and Bexel and the dealer finally came to blows, with the re. sult that both were arrested for disturbing the peace. Later both men were released on bail. Packing House Mar % o Leg. Yesterday afternoon George Jarkson, an enploye at Hammond's packing house, fell from the top of a moving box car and his left leg was crushed under the wheels.

Later on_the leg was amputated above the knee. Just how the accident happened is not known, but it is supposed that Jarkson slipped while the cars were being switched. Magle City unip. Mrs. L. C.

THURSPAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1895. SIS JORN A, M'SHANE ARRESTED Trouble Was All on Account of a Real Estate Deal. PROMPTLY GAVE BAIL FOR APPEARANCE He Denounces His Arrest as an Ine famous Outrage and Declares that e in In No Way Connected with the Transaction, CHICAGO, Sept. 11.— A. McShane of Omaha was arraigned here today charged with conspiring with F. H Culver, a Chicago attorney, to defraud tho real estate firm of Bartlett & Roach. The detendants asked for an immediate trial, but he case was continued until tomorrow, The real estate men charge that McShane and Culver deliberately conspired to swindle them out of about $65,000, while the ex-con- gressman declares that he Is innocent and threatens to bring suit for damages for false imprisonment. McShane and Culver were arrested on a warrant sworn out by C. E. Bartlett of the firm of Bartlett & Roach, real esiate dealers at No. 8 Dearborn street. It is claimed that the respondents conspired to defraud the real estate firm fn the course of a transfer of valuable property. James Atwood, a jani- tor, and B. J. Scannell, a partner of McShane in Omaba, it is said, will also be arrested. According to the story of Bartlett & Roach, that firm was to exchange a flat building on the corner of State street and Cloud court for a number of vacant and unincumbered lots in Evanston, Evergreen and other suburbs, All the contracts, deeds and abstracts on both sides were fully prepared and placed in es- crow. Messrs. Bartlett & Roach placed their papers in the hands of Peterson & Orr, real estate dealers, while Culver was custodian for McShane & Scannell. At the solicitation of Culver all the papers were then delivered to him in escrow. According tq Bartlett & Roach, Culver at once turned over to Scannell a portion of the deeds, and the deed to the State street property to James Atwood, & relative of McShane, and janitor of the flats, On the same day Scannell executed mort- gages on his portion to John McShane for a nominal_consideration, and Atwood did the same. Every one of the deeds and mortgages was recorded, All the alleged conspirators disappeared, it is charged, about that time, and Bartleft & Roach learned that their property had changed hands and had been mortgaged, and they had received nothing in exchange. Monday they learned that McShane was in the city, and subsequently he was arrested at Gore's hotel. Attorney Culyer was apprehended at the same place. Mr. Hefferman of Gore's hotel went on their bond_in $1,000 each, and they were released. Mr. McShane declares that he {8 the victim of a scheme, and threatens to bring suit for damages for false imprisonment. “This is a blackmailing scheme,” said John A. McShane in discussing his arrest. “I know nothing about this real estate and am in no way interested in what Mr. Scan- nell has done. It is true he is secretary of the Columbia Investment company, but that 18 a corporation, and his private deals do not affect the company or me. “I am not interested $1 in either the subur- ban or the State street property, and the records will show that to be true. I shall bring suit for damages for false arrest and perjury against the complainants. They will find I am a good man to stick, too. I will be with them three years from now if neces- sary. I expect to be discharged when the case comes up. There is not a thing to hold me on and the whole proceeding was an outrage.” -Congressman John Mr. P. J. Scannell, bookkeeper for Mr. McShane, denounces the arrest of his princi- pal as an entirely uncalled for proceeding for the purpose of annoying Mr. McShane. He says that as a matter of fact Mr. Mc- Shane had no connection with the real estate deal in question. He himseif was the prin- cipal in the affair, which was a trade of property in which the Chicago firm had made a proposition which had been accepted. Afterward they attempted to back out, but it was too late, ‘and they had evidently taken this course by way of making trouble. It their grievance had any foundation in law they would have naturally resorted to a civil suit instead of a criminal action. He had just received a telegram from Mr. McShane in which the latter stated that he had aiready begun a sult for damages for malicious prose- cution and false imprisonment, They say it's hotter— We're not responsible for the weather, but if anybody asks you, you can tell them we are responsible for the hot pace in Piano circles.
