AN ICE OEUSHEE.
The Missouri Gorge Strikes thoU
U , P. .Bridge and Sways the
Grand Structure ,
A Magnificent , Awe-inspiring
Spectacle Viewed by Thou
sands of Peopler -
Over four thousand people lined
the banks of the Missouri yesterday )
when the accumulated misses of ice
above the U. P. bridge began to move
down , For hours the crowds had
watched the ice dance about , like
shoals of whales .and porpoises at
play , and the frequent yells of delight
From thu old and young showed that
they looked tor a break up had worked
all bauds up to a high pitch of ex
citement.
About half past three a movement
began in the gorge just opposite who/e
the wire ferry boat it beached. The
mass of people took motion at the same
time , and it required a livaly pace to
jeep up with the moving acres of ice.
As the ica neared the bridge it gained
in velocity , and when the piera ware
struck with the enormous force of
these hundreds of thousands of tons
of ice , the bridge WAS seen to rcvor-
berbaraio from end to end , while the
rattling of the structure could ba
plainly heard. At the great flit cakes ,
some of them many acres in extent ,
struck the piers , a sound as if distant
thunder was heard , and the ice would
appear to take life into Itself and try
to climb np the resisting piers. Now
it would be piled twenty feet high
against the piers , and presently the
accumulation would be forced away to
make room for a fresh aseaulc. Each
shock seemed greater than the lait ,
and the thundering thuds filled the
thousands with &we. The contact
with the piers ground the ice into
splinters , and no machine could have
chopped it up so finely as did theee
piers. It was a sight never to bo for
gotten. '
It did not taken twenty minutes for
all the ice batween the U. P. shops
and the br.dje to pass nndtr the iron
caujoway.
When the masses of ice had fairly
started in their course past tha bridge
a reporter of THE BEE a-cended to tne
bridu , and went ous on it to the piar in
the centre of the channel. He stood
on the top of the pier and studied the
effect ot th shocks. As mars after
mass would strike the pier his fears
for the safely of the bridge were in
a ratio for the safety of his life , and
that was something considerable. It
was necessary to hold firmly to a
friendly brace. The reverberation cf
the bridge wea eo strong that ho
would othertriss have been knocked
down. The feelings of the reporter
in that position are indescribable. At
times it appeared as though the bridge
were tumbling into the river , and
again that the bridge was moving
and the water standing still. The
crashing of the enormous pieces of ice
against iho pier were dazing to the
senses for an instant , not atone be
cause at this point the sound was like
the firing of a cannon , but because
the sudden shock created snch an
overpowering feeling that the bridge
was giving way. The writer remem
bers to have seen a large steamer
founder off the coast of New Jertey
some years ape , and standing on th
beach , wutching the struggle of the
monster with the waves and the
rocks and hearing it dashed against
them , ho was forcibly reminded of the
scene by his experience on the bridge.
At last the lea all made its way prat
the bridge , and the river was broad
and clear as far na the eye could SPQ.
In the course of an hour , however , a
flow of ice began to loom op above the
U. P. shops , and as THE BEE goes to
press the flaw of ice is thick and con
stant.
The river , just before the break up ,
WAS sixteen feet above low water marir.
When the ice went out the river fell
rapidly.
A gorge began forming about five
o'cleck opposite Bond's packing house ,
and at six o'clock the river began ris
ing at the rate of two feet an hour.
Fears of a flood are entertrined.
Nail the Colors to the Mast With

To nail the matter solid , and show
the standing of Omaha products In

the Omaha Nail company interviewed
recently the leading users of naih and

dorsing their products as being about
three notches and a half higher np in

now on the market.
Tour reporter has had the pleasure
of perambulating through the factor ?
and noting the extensive improve
ments eoing on in every department ,
and comparing the nails made here
with those shipped here by eastern
manufacturers and we many truly say
that onz people can bo proud of the

A BEASTLY VAMPIRE.
A Villain for Whom the
Hemp Has Long Been
Sown.
He Brings His Young Niece to
Omaha , Buins and then De
serts Her ,
An Officer Pursuing Him to
Montana and the Girl
in Jail.
Since last Monday a cell in the
county jail has been occupied by a
ponng lady , whose story is heartrend
ing in the extreme. The name of
ihe young lady is witheld by THE
BEE for obvious regions.
It appears that about foot months
ago the young lady was induced to
leave hoae by her uncle , her mother's
brother , to accept the position of
school teacher in Montana. Her
borne is eight miles the other side of
tiansas City , Missouri. Not desiring
to go far from home she finally con
sented to g to Platte county , in her
native state , where she hid another
uncle residing , and where she WM as
sured of employment.
Though somewhat alarmed by the
Importunities of the uncle , who de
sired her to leave home , she felt per-
[ ectly safe in going with him , since
ber father and mother added their
parsnaaiona to hia. She therefore de
parted with the full consent of bar par
ent * , and In company with her uncle ,
but she seen discovered the uncle had
purchased tickets for Nebraska City ,
this state. Ho explained this change
in the programme by saying ho had
decided to visit his adopted brother ,
Peter Davids , in the latter place , In
stead of going to Pbtto conn'y. When
they arrived it Nebraska City the un
cle did not go to his adopted brother ,
but succeeded In compelling the en-
protected young girl to accompany
him to Omaha.
The villain is well known in Omaha
as a Montana prospector. Hia name
it James S. McKinney.
On arriving here the young girl was
taken to the St. James Hotel , opposite
the U. P. depot. A separate room
was obtained for her and the uncle
was assigned a room by himself also.
Ho was afraid to take the girl to any
of the larger hotels for the reason that
he is well known at all the other hotels.
The St. James hotel , however , did
not prove convenient for his purpose
and he concluded to obtain rooms for
her in some less , public place.
With this view he lodged her in the
old Cozzen'a Hotel , on Ninth street.
There , she alleges , he accomplished
her ruin.
On the third of February he left for
Montana , first securing for her a res
idence with a woil known family ,
where she would find the protection
of a home. McKlnnoy , the uncle ,
either appointed E. 0. Turgeon , who
has been acting as agent for Mr. A.
F. Gross , the furniture man , a sort of
guardian or protector over the girl , or
else he made a vile bargain with him ,
which would have resulted in com
pleting the girl's ruin and covering
up his own tracks. The latter ia be
lieved to be the case , for Turgeon
absconded last night , taking all his
effects with him and what money he
could scrape together belonging to
his employer. He decided upon this
course because he learned that the
police were about to lay hands on
him.
McKinney left the poor girl with
only six dollars , but she managed to
find otnploy raent at sewing. He final
ly wrote to her and suggested her
coming to Montana to join him. She
replied to him that she desired no fur
ther to do with him , that she only de
sired he would not tronblo her in any
way. Again , he wrote and sent her
forty-seven dollars , the price of an
emigrant ticket to SheridanMontana ,
whera he was stopping. Still she re
fused to go and then McKinney wrote
to Marshal Westerd hl making a com
plaint against the irl BS an incorrigl
bio person who required the uss'stance
of the law to manage her. The uncle
desired the marshal to send the unfor
tunate girl on to him. Marshal Wes
tordnhl called on.he girl and demand
ed thit she join ber uncle She did
not know who Westerdahl was , as
be did not even announce hia name.
When she learned who he was she
confessed the whole crimi to him.
This WM on the 5th of this month.
Marshal Wosterdahl then began an
investigation , which resulted in the
girl being compelled to maku an affi
davit against her uncle and her being
held as a party to the crime arrl as a
witness.
Incest is punishable in this state
with twenty year. * ' imprisonment.
Judge Hawes Isaujd a warrant for
the arrest of McKinney. and on
Monday officer Ben. Westerdahl
started for Lincoln to obtain a requisi
tion from the governor. The requisi
tion was quickly obtained , and he
left for Sheridan , Montana , where he
no doubt has McKinney in his pos
session at this moment
A reporter for the BKE visited the
county jail Saturday , where he
m et the young girl in her cell , in the
presence of Jailor Miller.
She is of medium height , with fair
ly regular features and hair which
cannot bs > said to belong to the sharply
defined blonde , but is withal cf a light
hnetomehing between the proverbial
blonde and tha , lightest snadu of
brown. Her skin la whi o and clear ,
and altogether there ii a freshness and
youthfuineas about her tbt makes
o-e believe , in sp'teof himself , that ahe
ia what would be called a iood looking
girl. She is barely seventeen years ,
but is a fully developed woman.
At first the reporter could isot ob
tain a word of information , but by
dint of persistent inqniiy and persua
sion she reluctantly told her story , of
which the following may appear in
print : . .
"I loft my home with full consent
of my parents and billeving toy un-
ele would make good his promises to

What this intimation jast meant the

afterwards Ii arned that other parties ,

From ttiH girls a'.ory ' ai a whole , the
