BIRTHDAY NUMBER
PLHSES ALL
Mr. and Mrs. Gahm are Finished
Artists in Their Playing.
From Saturday's tally.
A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Mr. Joseph Gahm and Mrs.
Mina Gahm at the Parmele last even
ing. The seats in the dress circle, as
well as the parquet, being well filled
with lovers of the piano and harp,
and there were many In the audience
who would have been delighted to
have heard more of the harp than the
two selections scheduled on the pro
gram, and Mrs. Gahm was encored
heartily after each of the two per
formances, but responded to neither.
Mr. Gahm was at his best last even
ing and entered into every selection
played by him with the soul of a
musician, and at times seemed wholly
oblivious to the presence of anyone,
and apparently derived as much
pleasure from the instrument upon
which he played with such skill, as
his auditors. And at the close of a
selection when the audience applaud
ed he gracefully acknowledged the
applause by arising from his chair
and making a profound bow.
The one selection of Mr. Gahm's
own composing was well worth the
price of the ticket of admission, and
the grand march from "Tannhaeu
ser," by Wagner-Liszt was something
unusually fine, and many words of
warmest commendation of the entire
program were heard on the street to
day. Constable J. R. Denson made a trip
to the Missouri Pacific bridge, nortu
of this city, and notified N. Bothers
that he had been sued by Byron Gold
lng for a small sum and the railway
company garnlsheed, and at the same
time Mr. Denson served papers for
the J. V. Egenberger estate on Frank
Karlasek, notifying him that he owed
the estate, which no doubt was a
great surprise to Frank.

INDICTED FOR
ALASKA FRAUDS
True Bills Handed Gown lit Cis
tret Court at Tacoma,
TWO GROUPS OF DEFENDANTS.
Entriei Made to Coal Lands In Behring
Strait District Alleged Made in
"Dummies' " Names Assert Many
Had Never Seen Claims and Intend
ed to Sell in Body.
Seattle, Oct. 15. Charles F.
1 1 Monday, George Slinmonds and
Cornelius Christopher, all prom-J
ineut Seattle men, were arrested J
"here on indictments charging con-1
Ilspiracy to defraud the govern-
; ; ment in the Alaska coal cases.
. , They were released under bonds
J of $2,500 each.
Washington, Oct. 15. After monU'is
of secret effort the officials of the
general land office announced the in
dictment of a number of claimants to
valuable coal lands in Alaska. The
entries Involved number 154 and cover
almost 25,000 acres of land, all of
which lies in the Bering strait dis
trict, in which the Cunningham claims
are located. They are what are known
as the English or Stracey and the
Christopher Simmonds group, fie
former containing eighty and the lat
ter seventy-four claims of 150 acres
each. The deposits covered by these
claims are believed to be as rich as
those of the Cunningham mines, which
cut a conspicuous figure in the Ballin-ger-Pinchot
controversy.
The Indictments were handed down
in the United States district court sit
ting at Tacoma and the Information
that they had been returned was con
veyed in two telegrams received by
Commissioner Dennett from Special
Agent Chrlstensen, In charge of Alas
kan matters, to whose efforts the find
ings are especially due.
To Issue Warrants Soon.
Th first telegram contained the
announcement of the action against
the English group and stated that in
dictments has been returned against
C. F. Monday, A. H. Stracey, Archie
W. Shields and E. Slegley.
A few minutes later came the sec
ond telegram telling of the indict
ments of Cornelius Christopher,
Georgo Simmonds and Mortimer C.
Sweeney of the second group. Mr.
Dennett added that warrants would
be issued as soon as the indicted men
could be apprehended.
The first group of defendants takes
its name from the fact that a number
of people in western Canada are sup
posed to be ' interested in the claim
taken up by this party. Stracey is a
resident of Vancouver and is charged
with being instrumental in making
some of the locations. Monday Is a
prominent attorney of Seattle.
The charge against the Indicted men
Is that the entries were made in the
names of "dummies." Most of the en
trymen were residents of Washington
and their claims are said to have been
located with an agreement that the
claims should be assigned or deeded
to third parties as soon as parties
willing to become Interested could be
found by the locater. There Is said
to have been a further understanding
that the locater should receive a large
percentage of the Rale price.
Different Kind of Fraud.
The charge differs from the charge
made in the Cunningham clal-ns, in
which there was no allegation that the
entrymen took the claims for per
sons other than themselves, but ratlier
that they had a previous agreement
to work or dispose of their claims as
a unit. It is said that very few or the
claimants In the new cases ever saw
the land on which their names were
used for locations.
Bolh groups of claims figured to a
considerable extent In connection with
the Bnl'lng.'r-Pinchot Inquiry. Charges
of fraud In connect'on with the entries
were made two yi ars ao and it was
asserted that luv sanation had been
stayed by the land office, supposedly
for some sinister purpose.
Meeting this allegation with the
statement that the services of the
land office force were Imperatively re
quired elsewhere and that there was
no statute of limitations to run
apainst these cases, it was conceded
that they were not pressed for a pe
riod. Since last May, however, Mr.
Chrlstenspn has been giving the major
portion of bl time to them, with a re
sult over which the land office iind
the entire Interior department con
fesses Itself much gratified.
It also Is known that another fed
eral grand jury slttln? at Spokane In
connection with the district court or
the eastern district of Washington, Is
considering still other charges of
fraudulent coal entries In Alaska and
that results are expected from these
Investigations, similar to those ob
tained at Tarnmn.
Powerful Bomb l Located.
Paris, Oct. 13.A powerful bomb
was discovered by the police at the
foot of a tree In the Avenue Klober,
near the American embassy. The o!tl
cers attribute the attempted outrage
to anarchists, who sought to put new
ginger Into the apparently dying rail
road strike.
YOUNG PUfTSMOUTH
GIRL FINE VIOLINIST
Owing to laik of time and space
the Journal failed yesterday to give
a worthy mention of the Frantlsek J.
Kolbaba concert given at the Parnitle
theatre on Thursday eenlng. Mr.
Kolbaba Is one of the finest violin
virtuosos in the state of Nebraska,
and combined with the other num
bers on the program he certainly gave
the people of Plattsmouth one of the
rarest of musical treats, and were
certainly deserving of a much larger
house. The attendance was very poor,
but those who were there are unani
mous In pronouncing the program an
excellent one, and every number most
artistically rendered. The selections
given by Mr. Kolbaba alone were
worth the price of admission. He Is
a thorough master of the violin. He
was assisted by Mr. Jean P. Duf field
and Miss Agnes Knofilcek, the former
being a piano artist of great ability,
which Miss Knofilcek is a little Platts
mouth girl, but with a few more years
of as rapid advancement as she has
made In the past, will place her
among the violin artists of the day.
This is the firm belief of Mr. Kolbaba
also. She is one of his scholars, and
one of the brightest he has In his
training. She Is young and only taken
a limited number of lessons, but her
numbers on the program were well
received by the entire audience, which
though small, was very appreciative.
There were other numbers on the
program in which Messrs. Kolbaba,
Knofilcek, Janda and Miss Knofilcek
took part that were very fine and re
ceived with hearty applause.
We are Informed that Mr. Kolbaba
expects to organize a class In this
city, and will remove his family here,
If he can secure a sufficient number
of pupils, and being a thorough mas
ter of the violin, this should be an
easy task, as Plattsmouth has many
musically inclined people, who are
lovers of the violin.
After the excellent program given
on Thursday evening, we venture to
say that should Mr. Kolbaba give an
other concert, he will receive much
better patronage, but at present he is
rather discouraged and it would be
difficult to secure his services for
another offering Just now.
Loses Good Mule.
From Saturday's Dally.
Mr. G. G. Melsinger had the mis
fortune yesterday to lose a valuable
mule, which died from blood poison.
The animal received an injury the
foreoart of the week by running
against a post, from which a large
splinter of wood penetrated the
shoulder. A veterinary was called
and rendered such service as could
be done, but In spite of the efforts of
the doctor, the leg swelled and the
blood poison did the rest. The mule
was one of a team which Mr. Melsin
ger would not have taken $500.00 for.
Returns From Hospital.
Mrs. B. J. Reynolds went to Omana
on the morning train today for the
purpose of bringing her daughter,
Miss Jennie, home from the hospital,
where she has been several weeks,
ecoverlng from the effects of an oper
ation for appendicitis. Miss Rey
nolds' many friends In this city will
be glad to have her at home again,
and hope for her speedy recovery.

W. R. Binges, Representing an
Away Forty Town
From Saturday' Pnily.
Mr. W. R. Burgees, of Muskogee,
Oklahoma, did some unique advertis
ing of Oklahoma real estate among
Plattsmouth citizens last evening,
when, to arouse an interest in his
lands in eastern Oklahoma, he gave
away forty town lots In Oakland City,
a new town Just organized some miles
east of South McAllister, Oklahoma.
Mr. Burgess Is a good ea-y talker
and has an air of truthfulness about
him which carries conviction of the
truth of his arguments. At the cor
ner of Fifth and Main streets last
evening he held a good sized crowd
of men for over an hour, while he
discoursed on tho attractiveness of
Oklahoma as a place to reside and
told of the fertility of the soil and
the variety of farm products and
fruits which the soil produced. None
of his statements were overdrawn,
and he frankly stated that he did not
want any man who should come on
the excursions which would be run
later, to say to him that he had mis
stated any of the facts concerning the
country.
Mr. Burgess explained that his
method of advertising was new, but
effectual, and the company for which
he did business found that it paid to
advertise as he was doing, that they
had organized a town last year which
now had 3,000 inhabitants, three
banks, churches and schools, a foun

And in addition the company had
sold a large trad of land to the
friends of the fellows who had been
given town lots, and on the present
occasion the town would start out
with equally as good opportunities as
the one which had succeeded.
After making a talk on the points
of the country, he selected a commit

around among the crowd and had
them sign their names. About fifty

of lots that an excursion would bo
run from Omaha in the near future,
as he had but three more stops to

that they and as many of their
