2 THE OMAHA DAJffjY BEE : SUNDAY , J'l'NE ' 7 , 1801-SIXTEEN PAGES. THREE WHO TURNED TRAITOR. Joe Walsh , Dad Olarko and Eddlo Eiteljorg Jump Their Contracts. FOR AMERICAN ASSOCIATION MONEY , Pust Favors and Future Olory Forgot- len In Presence of Lucre Two WoHtcrn OnmeH Played Yesterday. R BRE was possessed with the intelli gence last night that Dad Clarke , Joe Walsh and Kddlc Klteljorg had Jumped the Omaha club and gene to the Loulsvlllo American as- soclatlon club. As tlio Information Is un doubtedly authentic , there Is no occasion to mlnco matters the truth plainly enunciated Is all that will lit the case of this trio of un grateful nnd disloyal players. However , before - fore indulging In any comment , it might bo best to state the facts In the caso. Friday n representative of the Louls vlllo club named I'nftt , who Is also an agent of the Loulsvlllo fs. Nash- vlllo railroad , made his appearance In Lin coln , where the Omaha team Is weather bound , and nt once sought nnd made over tures to all of the Omaha players , without re sults , however , until yesterday , when he suc ceeded In Inducing the three mentioned players to promise to Jump. This promise was made on the proviso that certain money was to bo paid over to thorn by telegraph yesterday evening. Manager Shannon learned of what was transpiring yesterday morn ing , anil at once took stops to check any crooked dealings by bis men as far as was in bis power. Ho had nu Interview with Clarke , and "Clarko told him that If the money promised them was forthcoming they intended to go. Without watting then to consult with Walsh or Klteljorg , Manager Shannon notified the club managi'inoiit.horoof thestatus of affairs , assuring at the same time , if these men did desert ho could fill their places with better men at twenty-four hours' notice. The man agement without delay Instructed Manager Shannon to use his own discretion In the matter , but to Inform the thrco men that they need expect no money If they persisted in jumping. This did not have the effect of stopping the thrco in their negotiations with the Loulsvlllo atent ; , and the last advices last night , located the precious four In the Western Union office at Lincoln , where they were awaiting the money from Louisville. So much for the matter as a piece of nows. As to the threatened Jump of Dad Clarke nnd Joe Walsh there is no huso ball crank In Omaha , however enthusiastic , who will lose a wink of sleep ever the matter. "Clarke , " as n prominent ba o ball man said last night , "is unpopular anil overrated. As n pitcher ho showed what llttlo skill ho overdid did possess In IhhO. Slnco then ho hasn't been worth his weight In scrap iron , und the whole local base ball contingency was sere at the local management for re taining him In place of Phil Knell , a pitcher of well-established ability. It Is dollars to dimes thnt his experience In Louisville will Do a short-lived onco. Once throuiru with Louisville ho will bo allowed to again nhoulder the pick and shuvol ana cot back with the section gang. "Joo Walsh" ho added. "Is oven deserving of sllll severer criticism. lie hasnhvays un deservedly been made a pot of the Omaha ball patrons , for as a ball player ho was but ordinary at best. Still , on account of his being an Omaha noy ho has always received especial generous treatment at the hands of the club manage ment. Ho tins been potted nnd cajoled , and excused when any other player would have been rousted nnd fined , if not released. Ho has boon favored nnd llattered when healthy criticism would have boon the justthincr. ' This spring his salary was rnised unsollcite'd by any one , and ho has never asked for a fiwor ho did not receive. The management lent its inlluenco In securing for him his winter Job , and In hundreds of ether ways placed him under material obligation to them. " These men have nil received their snluries , and oven today are paid ahead of time , and they nro utterly without cause for complaint or ingratitude. "In the case of Eiteljorg there nro many oxtonuatlns circumstances. IIo Is young nnd inexperienced , consequently likely to bo Influenced against his own best interests. IIo is a very promising ball player nnd If ho persists in soliig nstrny as ho contemplates , ho will bo the ono alone to regret the move. Ho has received the best of treatment from Urn club management and the public , and will make the mistake of his llfo If ho carries out the enterprise ho threatens. " Tlio management will take legal stops ns a means of redress against those deserters. They will not only bo enjoined from playing , if an injunction Is possible , but will bo black listed without wait or ceremony. These man are under contract with the Omaha club , nnd have entered Into Us fulfillment , consequently quently it will hold good in any court In the land. The base ball contract of today Is not the base ball contract of llvo years ago , and when Uncle Dick McCorinlck makes up his mind to see that the ends of Justice nro all served , it comes pretty near being a dead moral certainty that Justice Is not going to got loft. _ l.l T/M.V.

Twenty thousand or moro jwrsons pushed and JoUled each other here today in an endeavor to got the best of the odds , and they were treated to some tlrst class sport and a dead heat be tween three horses. The weather was not very promising at first , but as the afternoon were on the sun came out bright and strong nnd livoncd things up wonderfully , and the track was llko chain lightning. Tlio two llxed events on the card were the great Kclipsn stakes for two-yoar-olds and the Now York Jocky club handicap for three-year-olds nnd upwards , The former was won by Marcus Daly's colt Tammany , an outsider in the betting , whllo Ozric , D'u- genet and Hell Gate were so close together at the llnish the judges could not separata them nnd culled it a dead heat. The stake was worth to the winner about ! ll,500. The handicap also resulted In the HUCCOSS of an outsider In the betting. Eon , at 7 to 1 , took the lead in the stretch nnd won in very fast time. The favorite , Tristan , was shockingly ridden by Garrison , or ho would have been much closer up.

STOLEN THE SECOND TIME , Miss Daisy Hudson Again Abducted ant Berne Away from Friends , WORK OF AN ENTERPRISING STRANGER He KnllHtcd the Services of Two Well Meaning YOUIIK Men , ami Kaslly Seunrcil the Con- Girl. Another net In the drama of pretty Dalsj Hudson's llfo was enacted yesterday after noon , nud for the second time the curtain has boon rung down with the horoluo in ni abductor's hands. The young girl's story was lltstmado public In TUB Br.r. on Friday. She Is the daughter o J. L. Hudson , a former Omaha clerk , who now has charge of Andrews Brothers' clothing store In Sioux City. Her mother was dlvorcoi rom Hudson In St. Louis eleven years ago und given custody of the girl , Daisy , thoi llvo years of ago. The girl was afterwards stolen from the carriage of her mother's second husband , a man named D.vvn , nnd no trace was found of her until n tow days ago when she was located Iu this city. I. N. Yates , a young man , learned of the girl's history and started nn Inquiry In St Louis for her mother. This led to an In vostlgatlon and the publication of the facts in the case on Friday. Yostordiiy nftornoon a largo , heavily bulll man culled nt the cigar store at Slxtcentl and Dodge streets nnd asked for Mr. Yatos. That gentleman was not present , but E. G. Crapp and L. C. Andrus , two of his acquaintances volunteered to holt Hud him , aim In conversation learned that the stranger was looking for Daisy Hudson. Further ho represented himself ns n reporter for Tin : BKI : ami gave the young men to Infer that he was looking for the Hudson girl with a view of getting her to tuko stops which would uultu her with her long lost mother. Messrs. Andrus nnd Crapp had heard Daisy Hudson's story and were anxious to aid the stranger Ir. his search. The man made careful Inquiry of the girl's position nud surroundings and volunteered the statement that It would be an act of noble charily to have Daisy nnd her mother reunited , as the girl , if thrown upon the world at her ago , might go to the bad. Mr. Crapp nnd Mr. Andrus coincided In this ex pression , und Increased their offorU to aid the good Samaritan In his work. A cab win called by the stranger and thu thrco men drove to the house of E. K. Athcrton , 240(1 ( Capitol avouuo , where Daisy was employed ns n nurse. Mrs. Atnorton was absent , but Daisy was at homo in charge of two younp children. The stranger hud a few minutes conversation with Mls.s Huusou , in a tone too low for her companions to hoar , and closed by asking her In a louder tone of voice if she could go with him right away. Daisy answered that she could not go at once as she must care for the children until Mrs. Athortou returned. Hero the genius of the strange man shone brightly. He iiskod the young men if they would help him ' further and lend co-operation In a lau'dablo work by minding Mrs. Atherton's babkss while Daisy went with him. The young men were completely in earnest in their part of the good work and willingly volunteered their services ns nurses in the emergency , and entered upon their duties In that ca pacity. These arrangements completed Daisy hur riedly dressed and with the stranger entered the waitlnc cab and thov were ranidlv driven away. Mrs. Athorton reached homo at 4 o'clock and found the young men iu charge of her children. She was greatly surprised at Daisy's ' disappearance and was nt a loss to account for it. By this tlmo Messrs. Andrns and Crapp had begun to think that they had possibly helped to got Miss Hudson deeper Into trouble Instead of aiding .her , and at once started out to look for the girl or the stringer who had taken her away. When they learned that the man was not acquainted with Mr. Yiitcs and had no connection with TIIK Bir. : they were still further mystified and llnally reported the matter to the police. The young men Interested In the case are now of the opinion that the stranger who so cleverly secured possession of the girl was sent here for that purpose from Sioux City by the girl's father. Mr. Yntos ha'j received tlo ) following letter - tor , concerning the girl , from St. Louis : ST. I.OUIB. Mo. , Junes. T. N.

Yours truly , SHOD I'KN.V. 2111 Oarr street , St. Louis , Mo. What became of tba girl after leaving tbo residence of Mr. Athcrton Is thus far u mystery. It is merely known that the coupe inwhich she was placed by her strange com panion drove west on Capitol avenue and turned south oil Twonty-llfth street toward Farnam. A search was made last evening for the coupe driver who assisted the stranger In so successfully carrying out the abduction , but without any material results. Several per sons were found who saw nnd noticed the rig , and some of them were certain that It was No. 3D , while others gave corresponding descriptions of the horse and driver. A round up of the cab stands failed to dis cover the much wanted outfit , and a search of the stables was bocun. Ono of tboso who saw the coupe Is a liveryman , who stated that ho know that It was from the Palace sta bles. A visit to the Palnco was accordingly made , but the atmosphere of mvstery was oven deeper there than It was on the outsido. Everybody about the place wanted It dis tinctly understood that they didn't know anything , and the matter of obtaining- information mation Irom thorn was Just ns easy ns pulling back teeth. It was known that tbo horse was n dark brown , and that the driver were u dark mustache. The foreman of thu stable admitted that the only street coupe running from thuro answered that description , but n very much agitated employe hastily called him to 0110 sldo and requested him ' 'For God's sake , show the black horse , if you have to show any. " That settled It , for the foreman utterly and steadfastly refused to allow the boast to bo soon , nud repeatedly suggested that his callers wore wasting tlmo aud advised them to leave. The coupe , however , was seen , and Messrs. Crapp and Andrus thought that they tdeutlllod it ns the ono iu which they had ridden during the afternoon. Then Mr. Foreman ref used to toll who ilrovo the vehicle , but another round of the stands revealed the fact that Tom Cronln is the Jehu who presides - sides over the box of No. 150. Mr. Cronln was In bed sleeping the sleep of the weary , but ho was located shortly ufter midnight , nnd a call was inn-Jo upon him. Ho wrathfully - fully arose from bin couch nnd was about to step out on the porch when DO changed his mind and announced that any business with him must bo transacted by daylight. Ex postulations , arguments anil entreaties were allko In vain , for Thomas said "Gut out disappear. Seol" U wasn't very light , but thu caller saw. It didn't take very long to Unit Dutoctlvo Savage and another call was mu.lo. After uselessly announcing that he could not bo seen , ! Mr. Cronin llnally projected his buro foot out Into the rain and absorbed pneu- moula whllo ho denied that ho had hauled any such load as was charged to his account. Ho insisted that his vehicle was upon the stand all the afternoon , and bo was allowed to go Dae U to bod. Ho will bo confronted with the witnesses today , however , nnd the other sldo will bo -lvon n chance. It Is n matter of conjecture whether or not the girl was taken out of Omaha , but tbo oftlcors are Inclined to the bellnf that she U jolug hidden in or near the city. Hudson In Slonv City.

At to o'clock this morning hundred s who called to make Inquiries realized that ml hopes had now vanished forever. The news from the sick room was moro discouraging than over. A strange ami leaden rotor overspread - spread his countenance and his oxtroinitl is assumed" an Icy coldness.

Sir John Alexander Macdnnald , premier of the Dominion of Canada , wan born in Glasgow , Scotland , of Scotch par ents in 1815. Five years later his parents , Hugh and Helen Macdonald , emigrated to Canada and settled in Kingston , which was then the most important town in Upper Can ada ( now Ontario ) , near t'io historic fort of Do Coiircollos ami Count Frontenac , und next to that of Quebec , the strongest fortress in America. The family , after living there for four years , moved to-tho Bay of Quintu , leaving John Alexander , then In his tenth year , at school in Kingston. After ho had entered his sixteenth year his father teen him away from school nnd articled him in tbo office of George Mackenzie of Kingston , where ho applied himself diligently to the study of law for six years , during which time his employer frequently re ferred tohim as the most diligent student li j hud over seen. Before ho was quite twenty- ono ho was admit toil to the bar , and im mediately opened nn office at Kingston lo practice his profession. About this tlmo Von Shoultz , n Polo ly birth , crossed over from Ogdeiisburg nt < no hejid of f > 00 men , mostly those who had served in tuu Lyon-Muckonzle troubles which agitated Canadian territory previous to thlv , with the abject ot Invading Canada.
