A Fearful Charge.
W.S. Motter, deputy sheriff of Nance county, was in the city Saturday and had in charge one Henry C. Beman, whom he had found and arrested at David City, after a hunt of two weeks.
Beman has been a widower about three years, looks to be about thirty-five years old, and has three children, two daughters and a son. The daughters are fourteen and eleven years old, and Beman is said to be guilty of having had carnal knowledge of his two daughters and of having communicated to them a vile disease. The warrant for his arrest was based upon a charge of rape upon the oldest daughter, at Genoa, December 24, 1889.
Mr. Motter had his prisoner securely hand cuffed and on the train bound for Genoa, but concluded that it might be best to place him in jail here, which was consequently done.
After a half hour, he changed his mind and, putting his prisoner on baord the mail car, he took him through to Fullerton.
Beman, it is said, bears a bad reputation at Genoa, and his personal appearance indicates the very opposite of a good man in every respect.

The following new cases were filed in the district court last week: C.S. Webster v. John D. Davis, attachment; Nye & Schneider v. James P. Mathews and George Hughes, sr., petition for foreclosure of mechanics lien; Western Trust and Security Co. v. Peter Klanschi et al, petition for foreclosure, real estate mortgage.Emma Hosner, the demented woman charged with stealing a horse from George Bodner, was arraigned at the county court, and held to appear at the district court. This is truly a case in which the Christian ladies of this city could do some good work. This young woman is half-witted, perhaps less, and has led a life of shame, the result, doubtless, of her ignorance and the wickedness, utter depravity, of those men who have consorted with her. It is shameful that some one does not take interest enough in the unfortunate creature to have her placed in an asylum where there might be some hope for her rescue from a long life of most abject ignorance, poverty and misery.
Mrs. M.D. Thurston, formerly of this city, has secured a divorce from her late husband (a dentist), being allowed $25 a month alimony, and the custody of the children, he having the privilege of visiting them at seasonable hours.
J.F. Bixby, editor of the Genoa Leader, charged with criminal libel, was acquitted Thursday. He had commented severely upon the busines transactions of J.O. Breech of Genoa, but it seems that the evidence justified what he had said.
Columbus Journal, July 2, 1890
Journal readers are familiar with the case of Geo. W. Poole and Miss Lydia Belle Woods of Benton. There was a double wedding last winter, Judge Thomas of Schuyler officiating. Poole's sister was married, Poole acting as groomsman and Miss Woods as bridesmaid, and after the marriage that had been previously announced, had taken place, the judge turned to the other couple, pronounced the ceremony and declared them man and wife. Miss Woods claimed that Poole had grossly deceived her in having the ceremony pronounced; he claimed that the proceedings were all regular, and that the matter was perfectly understood by the contracting parties, but Miss Woods has disavowed the marriage, and brought suit to annul it. The case was heard last week before Judge Post at Schuyler, who decided against Miss Woods.

State v W.B. Albro. Verdict of guilty.Matilda Henning, a poor unfortunate human creature about 18 years old, who was taken up in the city by Chief Taylor the other night, was adjudged insane Monday and taken by Sheriff Caldwell yesterday morning to Norfolk. Two of the board of insanity thought she was insane, the other did not agree with them. Her father and her step-mother live on the old Dr. Mills farm in Polk county. The story here is that she is not allowed to live at home; that she has been in the habit of wandering around in the neighborhood, eating corn from the fields, taking food from the slop buckets, going into farm houses when the owners were out, building a fire and helping herself, etc. She has a tumor on her jaw, was very illy clad when taken up, and altogether a fearful looking object of great pity.
