The following is the niii'h annual re
port of the Omaha City Mission for the
year ending December Jllth , 1884.
Many of our citiztns arc familiar with
the life and wok of the mission since it
was organixcd nine years ago , but for the
benefit of the numotons readers of your
paper who arc nor , we will give an outline -
line of its organization.
The mission was founded October 28'h ' ,
1875 , and was first called "Tho Christian
Wo kom Association , " its object being , of
the constitii ion fta cd , "to advance the
Into usts of the Christian religion by active
clrisinn work. "

is frequently asked by these who are in
terested in this hind of work. To such
A\o can say that a visit to uither of the
schools illanswcr the question better than
the mere nsso > tion that it is. ' 1 ho fact
that for nine years , through rain and
shiiio , storm and cold , th oiigh all the
changes that take place in n now city ,
this mission has kept "tho oven tenor of
its way , " mid 1ms scarcely lost a session of
cither school ; the fact that teachers have
always been found who were willing to
teach- the fact that from the pro's and
pulpit of our city wo have always received
woids of encou'ngemcnts and "God
speed" ; the fnct that a most generous
public , whoso cliild wo are , has taken n
fatheily care o\cr us and provided us
with a Homo , money , wearing apparel ,
coal , eatables and numerous good dinners ,
has given us t .lining , mentally and
morally , has gmn us enjoyment in
picnics , dinners , sociables and Chris1 inns
trees , nnd even a lot in "God s Acio" that
wo can call our own ; these facts prove
that the mission is a. success , and show the

LEFf THE TOWN ,
Somoxvhnt Gtri\n o DepArture of Dr.
A few weeks oinca n man who gave the
of Dr. Berg , came to Omaha from
a Missouri town and opened an office
over Schrotor & Becht's dtug store on
Fifteenth street. Ho bought some furni-
turj of M. F. Martin on credit , and be
gan keeping hnuss on the corner of
Thirteenth and Jonoa etroats. It sacms
that hia business did not pan out very
well nnd ho soon found himself pressed
for cash. Ho o-ncludod at last that
Omaha was not a good town tor him nnd
concluded to return to his favorite haUnts
in Missouri.
About n week ono ho packed up his
household goods and ttnrted them lor the
depot. Souuono Infoimcd Mr. Martin
hit the man wna moving and na ho still
owed the installment man quitn a bil-
anco on the furniture , ho concluded to
look him up. Ho wont to the houco
from which ho was moving nnd inquired
of Borg'a daughter whuro ho was moving
to nnd ehe said into a houco on another
street. Mr. Martin drove to the depot
nnd there found his furniture all ready
for shipment. Ho atohcoclappidou to
it and carded it b&ck to the store. It is
understood thatBerg left numerous small
bills behind him.

eral discussion followed , ns to the necessi
ty of building a chamber of commerce ,

Down tlio Suspect ,
Saturday morning in the court oE Col-

wrecker , waa found guilty , and contonccd
to ton years of lurd labor in the ponlten-
tiory.
Tlio verdict was neb unexpected , for
the ovldoncj Ihronghouthad been of the
moat poaitivo character. It was indeed ,
such 5n ono an could not but hnvo fol
lowed from a careful rovlow of the testi
mony elicited ; and Judge TlfT ny , who

case.
case.Tho history of the attempted train
rm eking , as al&o of the manner in which
the wretched miscreant was detected In
hlo guilt , ia replete with points of inter
est both to the local and general public.
On the night of the 28th of October ,
the wcAt-bound Denver train , on the
Union FdclQc , jumped the track at a
point two milo3 cast of Schnylcr , and
about seventy-five miles west of Omaha.
The cause of the ncsldcnt was found
to bo an obstruction In the shape
of four tica laid ncrots the track.
Despite the faot that no praat injury hsd
been entailed by the accident , the excite
ment wan very high , and every ciibrc was
mndo to detect the author of the crimo.
Upon the night of the accident , the
train dispatcher at Schnylcr was approached
preached by a young man , Frank Iluldt ,
who told him of a plot which ho had
overheard discussed by a parly of tramp ? .
The scheme won to throw the train off
the track , and then to waylay and rob
the passenger ; . The notification of the
plot H3 detailed by Iloldt c rno too late ,
however , to avert what might have been
a torrlblu accident.
The Union Pacific dootctlvcs were sot
lo work out the mystery but failed utterly
in arriving nt a satisfactory cmclucion.
The company , believ'ng the "tramp
plot , " were about to reward Boldt , when
Detective J. J. Neligh was qulatly called
Into the CS83. Tnat gentleman , astutely
prcolvlng that a wrong occnt had mil-
load these in charge of tbo caio , at once
formulated and followed up the theory
that Heldt wan the real culprit. Shad
ows were placed to watch and record
every movement of the suspected man.
A partial confestion was finally made by
Heldt to ono of the detectives connected
with the caio. The ahedowod man , too
eager to follow up his nsw Una of work ,
oven proposed to ono of the "ahadowa" a
plan for the repetition of the train wreck
ing performance , This time ,
to fully secure the reward bo
proposed to the detective to capture
some drnnken fellow , take him oomo dis
tance oat on the track , throw ties over
the rails , and then , rc-capturlng the
drunken man , to take him to the station
nnd lay claim to reward , as having cap
tured the train-wrcckor.
Finally , by careful and persistent ef
fort , the chain of evidence was no com
pletely forged that there was
every assurance of Heidi's guilt.
Ho was brought to Omaha , and taken to
the cilice of General Manager Gallon ay.
Here ho was confronted by Detective
Neligh , who svaa introduced as the assist
ant general manager. Under the skillful
questioning of that gentleman , Heldt
made confused and damaging statements ,
amounting almost to a confession He
was temporarily placed in tbo county jail ,
and shortly afterward taken to Schuyler.
While In the county jail at thin point ,
Heldt was Induced to write a letter to
the supposed . .barrister who was to
defend him , in which ho made a full and
detailed statement of the circumstances
of the crimo. Thij letter was
written in the presence of
a detective who had been placed in hia
cell , on some fictitious charge , and to
whom also he made certain remarks crim
inating himself.
The trial at Schuylor developed many
interesting points.
Detective iJellgh testified , when shown
n certain anonymous and threatening
loiter vhlch Holdt had claimed ta re
ceive , that ho bad formed the conclu
sion at once , from the character of
the handwriting , that it was written by
Heldt himself , and that its substance
was purely fictitious. This theory , in
deed , was fully borne out by subsequent
testimony
When Engineer Dolan was placed en
the stand , among other questions , hu
was asked how the tics on the track
ahead had appeared to him.
"Well , air , " ho replied , "they looked
line my coffin. They formed a plotura
which I always oee before mo until I go
to my grave. "
Dolan , also , when aiked by certain
parties why ho bad told his fireman I o
jump and did not leap himself replied ,
' I could not leave the jngina , for I had
lives behind me. "
The credit of the termination of the
caaeis mainly duo to thn f might and
aagiclty of Ddtpotlvo Neligbwhoso
clover handling tf ] ha points of evidence
secured for ttio train-wrecking fiend his
just deserts.
The thankful consideration of the
traveling pnblie is duo the Union Pacific

or expense in bring the criminal , Holdt ,
