WOMAN SHOOTS A FOOTPAD Would-Be Robber Later Picked Up by Police and Taken to Station. IDENTITY OF PLUCKY WOMAN A MYSTERY Several Who Saw the Affalr Talk to Her and Learn All the Particu Inrs Except Her Name and Resldence, A nervy but as yet unidentified woman shot and rather seriously wounded a negro footpad at Twentieth street and Capitol avenue about 10 o'clock last night, and taen rode home in a Dodge street car in a self-possessed and unemotional manner, leaving the car at Twenty-seventh and Lake streets and going north, giving her name to none. Shortly after 10 o'clock a young negro, giving his name as George W. Willlams, with place of residence at 1308 Chicago street, was arrested by Detective Hejtfeld at Sixteenth and Davenport streots. He was found to have a bullet wound in the thigh just below the groin. Surgeons Habn and Vance probed for the hullet, which they were unable to locate, it Baving struck the bone and deviated. The wound, unless some Infection develops, is not dangerous. The shooting occurred just as Dodge street car No. 4, in charge of Motorman W. M. Warren of 1163 North Fighteenth street, and Conductor Jerry Keane, living at Eighth and Hickory streets, was leaving the corner at Twentieth and Dodge streets on its way north, “We stopped at the covner to let some passengers off,” sald Motorman Warren, “and as we stood there I éaw a man and a woman In the middle of Twentieth street opposite the demolished church. The woman, 1 thought, tried to go down Capitol avenue and the man seemed to head her off. 8he then turned back across the street and the man closed on her. Then there was a shot and he turned and limped down Cap- {tol avenue. I expected to see her fall, as 1 thought it was he who had fired, but she followed him to the curbing and watched him go.” Woman Tells Her Story. ‘““The woman got on the car to go home," s2ld Conductor Keane, *She said that she had come up the avenue to take the car and i not notice a men who was following her until he demanded her money. She sald: ‘I told him that T had no money, and he said for me to dig up or he would see what I had. I said I'll give you something, and pulling the revolver from a paper bag I carry it In I shot him.' There were sev- eral passengors on the car. and they all praised her up and asked her how she came to carry the gun. She sald that she lived alone and had ic for protection; had had it for a long time, but mever used it before. She got off at Twenty-seventh and Lake and went north. Nobody seemed to know her.” Detective Heitfeld made the arrest of Willlams without knowing of the shooting. He saw the negro limping along and ques- tioned him. Willlams said that he had been hurt and later added that he had been shot. He said it had been done nearby on the street. The detective scouted this as- sertion and hie prieoner then sald that it was In South Omaha, where he works In a packing house, that the shooting occurred, and that it was four hours carlier. The reason he laid to jealousy. At the police station it was found that the blood from the wound had not yet run down, showing that 1t w but recently recelved.\ The prisoner was charged with attempting highway robbery. The woman is deseribed as of about 30 years of age, about § feet 4 inches in helght and fairly heavy. She wore a light tan jacket and muffler about her ears. She is sald to have been not at all nervous, and to seem rather proud of her achlevement. Don't neglect a cough. Take Piso's Cure for Consumption in time. By druggists. 26c.

The de- ceased resided with his parents at 1815 Martha sfreet, and was unmarried. Early in the evenlng Daly walked into the sa- loon while on his way home and ordered a glass of beer. After waiting some time he again walked to the bar and ordered a glass of whisky. Three times he called for that (kind of liguor. Turning from the bar after the last drink, Daly walked Into the wine room, where he sat down A short time after he had gone into the wine room he was discovered in a sitting position, dead Coroner Bralley was notified and took cHarge of the remains.

The gentlemen of the craft are decidedly the most exalted artisans who have a lien on the public purse. They were so Thure- day and will be during the remainder of the week. Some of them think so well of themselves that they have declined even to think of labor except at a price that makes the master plumbers’ aorta threaten to undergo the same calamity that befell the water pipes.

But there are seven or eight other plumbers—and seven or eight plumbers are a good many In this weather—who are bad, and upon them have been bestowed curses and epithets and cajolery and { pleadings, all of which have mot yet ac- complished any good for the water pipes. 80 it was that half a dozen master plumb- ers took down thelr tool kits yesterday, put on overalls and studied anew in prac- tice the art of mending and thawing out water pipes. Meanwhile the seven or eight bad blumb- ers reposed in great bodily comfort at Labor Temple, and, when their serenity was jarred by telephone calls, sent back the unvarying reply: ‘“Seventy-five cents an hour or nothing. It's too cold to work for common wages.” To further overtures they hung up the receiver with a bang and returned to social session with the radlator, CASE INTERESTS MERCHANTS Suit of William Richmond Ag: Business Men of Hpm- boldt, Neb. In the case of William Richmond against Wozat and seventeen other merchants of Humboldt, Neb., Judge Munger has declded that the complainant does not have to make his petition more specific. This case has considerable interest to the merchants of the state, as it ie the outgrowth of an at- tempt on the part of merchants of Hum- boldt to bring punishment upon a man who was charged with selling goods direct to the consumer from wholesale stock. The story does not appear in the petition, which briefly alleges that the plaintiff was arrested without legal right at the instance of the defendants and demands $15,000 dam- ages. The story as told by the plaintiff s that he was engaged in selling goods to consumers in and around Humboldt by sample and delivering them at a later date, ‘when he was arrested at the instance of the merchants of the city and later released. The merchants of the state, particularly the grocers, are much interested in the r sult of the case, as it is expected that they will wage war upon these peripatetic salas- men If this case 18 decided in favor of the merchants of Humboldt.

Condemn, From Judge Day, Catherine Farrell has secured a temporary order restraining the Miesour! Pacific Rallroad company from se- curing condemnation of property she owns near where the road’s line crosses Seven- teenth street. She alleges that R. 8. Ber- lin and C. F.

The presentation of Arthur Whiting's song-cycle “Floriana” brought out a large- sized audience to St. Mary's Avenuo Congregational church last night. The work i a musical setting, for soprano, contralto, tenor and bass sololsts, of the poems by Oliver Herford, “Overheard in a Garden.” Mr. Whiting's writing suggests that he has studied harmony and has done many exercises, but it is not likely that “Flo- riaaa” will place its author in the list of the immortals. The quartet presenting the work consisted of Mrs. Thomas J, Kelly, Mrs. Allen P. Ely, Mr. Kelly and Mr Charles 8. Haverstock. The ensemble was, generally speaking, very effective, and the individual solo work was warmly applauded. Miss Jessie Towne played the accom- paniments with eloquence and discrimina- tlon. Several pretty tableaux were intro- duced, in which little children did some very clever posing. As a preface to the work a quartet, “The Water Lily,” by Gade, was sung with good tone-balance and much style, The musical part of the program was in the hands of Mrs, El SONS OF REVOLUTION TO MEET Annual Meeting of Nebraska Society to Occur in Omaha Satn~- day Night. The annual meeting of the Nebraska Soclety, Sons of the American Revolution, will be held Saturday night at the Commer- clal club rooms. This is the Washington birthday anniversary, held one day ahead of time by reason of the anniversary fall- ing on Sunday. The principal feature will be the elec- tion of officers for the ensuing year, al- though the historical and literary portion of the program will not be neglected. The first number on the program will be the address of the retiring president, fn which the work of the vear will be reviewed Then will come the address of the presi- dent elected at the meeting, followed by the address of the historfan of the so- clety, Carroll G. Pearse, who will sum up the results ot the war of the revolution in the west, the war in that part of the country having been the subject of study during the year. Dr. W. H. Hanchett will present a paper on “Benjamin Franklin and His Work for the West.” The songs on the program are A Thousand Years' and “America.” J. H. Daniels, who represented Nebraska on the natfonal board of the Sons of the American Revolution, which was appointed to prepare a fitting memorial for the late President McKinley, Who was a member of the soclety, has recefved a proof of the memorfal publication which soon will be issued. The proof shows an elegant speci- men of engraving and letter press work upon vellum, the text illuminated, and an excellent likeness’ of the late president in steel engraving occupying one page. At- tached to the memorial are facsimiles of the signatures of the members of the com- mittee. Mr. Daniels has prepared a sou- venr album of the proceedings of the meet- ing of the committee held at Canton, O, some weeks ago. The album contains a paper from the McKinley home, bearing the rignatures of the members of the com- mittee; a copy of the resolutions adopted and newspapers containing an account of the meeting, together with plctures of members of the tommittee which took a prominent part, [n_the meetin; RUBBER lOgsEfls IN REVOLT They Waat the United States Com- pany to Share Expense of Competition. The wholesale market in rubber goods promises to show some change in the next month, but what that change will be is not foretold. The board of directors of the United States Rubber company is In session | now and the reports recelved from the country, according to statements made by local jobbers, indicate that the trade gen- erally desires some change In the existing method of doing business. The United States company controlled the situation up to a year ago, but the firms outside of the big company are now supplying nearly one- quarter of the total output of rubber goods. This season the old restrictive contract be- tween the United States company and the wholesale dealers was abolished and job- bers were permitted to make any price they might desire, thus throwing the burden of the fight against the Independent companies upon the jobbers. These merchants are now in a state of revolt and demand that the United States company take some ac- tion to place them in a position to fight the independent companies without sacrificing profits, indicating a desire to have the bur- den of the fight at least divided between the manufacturers and the jobbers. It was suggested by one jobber present at one of the sessions of the board that those whole- sale dealers who object to existing ocondl- tions._refuse to place orders until the board of directors solves the problem of dividing the expense of the opposition to the inde- pendent companies. e SUIT FOR LOSS OF AN Judge Read snd Jury Hear! of M, F. Clancy Against G. B. Barker, There has been renewed in district court, before Judge Read and & jury, the litigation over the injury received by M. F. Clancy's young son at the Barker hotel, January 13, 1902, when he was shot accidentally in the left eye by a bell boy named Lacey. The case first went Into federal court, when the sult was brought In the boy’s name against the Barkers for personal injury. Failing to secure satisfaction there, Mr. Clancy now appears in district court with a sult against George E. Barker for $32,957, alleging that he 1s damaged in that amount by reason of the loss of the uscfulness of the boy and the expense he has incurred for special treatment and the further expense he will incur in glving the boy the special educu- tion that will be required to give him equal opportunity with other boys hereafter.

A Nash early yesterday morning and the om- nipresence of clgars around the Chicago, Milwaukee & 8t 'aul office made any verbal announcement of the fact un- neceasary. Gene Duval says that he has lost his job, as the boy will undoubtedly supersede him as Istant general western agent. Mr. Nash giates that the boy shall be named E.

NEW COMPLAINT COMES FROM SCHUYLER Photographer Says Young Man Ob- tained Money from Him by Repre- senting that He Was Heir to Large Estate. Upon Information received by the police department from various cities, Chief Don- ahue has ordered the rearrest of Hugh F. Meisner, the dreamer who was recently taken into custody on a charge of obtafning money under false pretenses, but who was released Wednesday on account of lack of prosecution on that charge. The chief decided to act when a letter was received from J. F. Holonbeck, & pho- tographer of Schuyler, Neb., enclosing checks which Holonbeck has fssued to Melsner during the months of February and March, 1902. The total amount given to Meisner by the Schuyler resident was $258, the largest check being for $200, the smallest for $10. These, the photographer states in his letter, were advanced te the young man upon his representation that he was s00n to become the possessor of a large estate. Holonbeek states that Meisner was known Schuyler as “Harry McDonough.” The two men were to engage in an advertising scheme. Part of the money advanced was sent by draft to “McDonough” in Toledo, 0. Holonbeek will come to Omaha to prose cute Melsner. ’ chief from the Furlong and Thiel detec- tive agencies of St. Louls, Mo., asking for Melsner's description, he has operated his scheme in other cities.
