Holland was lnibu d with nil of Manor's

enough before the light to place $1,000 upon

was ono thing ihat cast a gloom upon tbo

strenuously to lighting on . .AshVodnosday
and had used ovorv effort to secure some

weighed on htm a little , ana his chagrin was

It was arranged during the day that Billy
Madden and Una Tuthlll would bo behind
Manor , with Jack Fallen and Dave Holland
as his assistants.
The preliminary bouts were to take place
ut 8 o'clock , but the crowd gathered a * early

conceivable conveyance were filled with
people and rolled toward the club house In a
steady stream. The place was brilliantly il
luminated. Sovdral kinds of light made

came up for the second round. Mitchell's
cleverness was much applauded und ho as
tonished conw of the spectators whoso first

THE Bun. ] W. A. Colllcld of Albany ,
Nob. , is a name which will bo fiimiliur
to every one about the Indian olllco here
for ninny years to como. Cofllold tried
to pltiy a smart trick in order to secure
appointment to the position of farmer ut
ho Pine Ridgoagencyund got trapped.
On the 8th inaU Senator MandorBon
received a letter from Coilleld which
was couched in very impatient tones , and
almost demanded thai ho be appointed
to the position of farmer at Pine Ridge ,
without delay. This letter called Sena
tor Mandorson's attention to the charac
ter of the applicant In the lirrfi place
Cotllold should h .vo Icnown that the ] > o-
sitlon sought is pntronufio belonging to
South Dakota , and therefore a Nobraa-
kan would not bo chosen ; secondly , ho
.should have known enough to have been
more respectful in his language.
In Collicld's letter to Senator Mandor-
son ho used this expression : "Now , what I
want to know is wliy" the position is not
forthcoming. Later in the letter ho
said : "I think , in consideration of post
services there and in the army , that I
am entitled to fair treatment. "
Collibld referred , in this-letter to Sen
ator Manderson , to an application which
ho filed on April iW , 1891 , for this posi
tion , and cited a telegram from Com mis ,
sionor Morgan , who stated to Acting
Indian Agent Penney that Cotlield's ap
plication for appointment would not bo
approved , tid therefore it was unneces
sary for Penney to submit the nomina
tion. Colliold , in hh letter to Senator
Mandorson on the Sth inst. , gave out
the impresdlon that he hud been a
union soldier , for ho said that "in
consideration of past services in the
army I am entitled to fair treatment. "
On the strength of this latter Senator
Manderson wrote to Indian Commis
sioner Morgan to ascertain something
of ColUold's record ns farmer at.Pino
Ridgo. subsequent to the tune of his
removal under the last administration.
It appears that Cfolflold was appointed
fanner at Pine Ridge some years pre
vious to , the incoming of the Cleveland
administration , and when ho was re
moved by Indian Commissioner Atkins ,
upon the presumption tiiat ho was a re
publican , ho wrote ft letter to the In
dian ofllco begging for reinstatement
Commissioner Morgan in his reply to
Senator Mamlerbon's inquiry as to
Collluld's record , und the circumstances
iintler which he wus appointed origin
ally , simply inclosed a copy of a letter
written by Colliold to Commissioner
Atkins from Gordon , Nob. . July 110 , 1887.
and observed that tjio latter explained
why tlio application of Colliold for np-
pointuieit at tnis time would not bo
considered , r'rom this letter of Got-
field's the following extract is tuken :
"On the Ilrst of last Ferbuury I was
relieved as additional farmer at Pine
Ridge agency , and Mr. David Link ap
pointed in my stead. I supposed then ,
and do now , that the department relieved -
lievod mo supposing that I was ii ropuu-
lletui. They were justilied in beliovintr
such to bo the case from the fact that I
was working under a republican admin
istration , but I would Ilka to disabuse
your mind of any such iduu. I rim a
Murylundor , and ut the breaking out ol
the war joined the Blank Horse cavalry
under Ashby , After ho was killed nt
Cross Keys , I wont to MoMiiinvilld ,
Torn ) , , and joined General John II. Mor
gan , who tent mo to Liberty , To mi. , to
Captain Tom Quirk to raise additional
scouts for his command. I remained
with Morgan until his brother Dick
curao from Virginia. Dick and mysoll
( Xuld never got alongeo I wont back to
Virginia and holpid Ilarry Glluiorc
to raise what wus known us
Gllmore's battalion , und romainec
with that organization until the
close of the war. I mention tiioso facte
simply to remind you that republicans
did not wear tlio same kind of uniform
that I did. "
It would bo dllllcult to describe the
indignation which prevailed in the
Indian olllco , not to nnmo that of Son <
utor Mandorson , when it was discovered
that Colliold iiud attempted , for the
purpose ol securing a reupnolntmont , tc
convoy the idea that ho was un ox-union
soldlor , when in fact ho had boasted tc
President Clayelnud's Indian com1
uilsslonor that ho bore conspleuouf
services for the confederacy , and ap
pealed to tlio democratic admiulstratior
to be reinstated upon Ills rebel record
It appears that Cplliuld was appointee
armor nt Pine Rldproin Jnramry , 183" ) ,
upon the recommendation of Agent
McUllllcudcly , who will now hnvo an
opportunity to explain his notion , in
view of this statement inCofllold's loiter
to Commissioner Atkins : "I have no
loubt if I would go back among my
friends in Maryland and Virginia I
would rocclvo the endorsement of the
dcogntlons from both these slates' . "

Senator Brlco Is outraged just now In
fouling the public pnlso. Uo Ims found
out enough within the past ton days to
convince him that there is no diplomacy
in permitting the pcopld to believe ho
is favorable to David D. IIill's can
didacy. Ills Interview on this subject
[ ) rlnted in the Now York World caused
i decided sensation and brought the aon-
itor several hundred additional letters
in his big batch of mail.
The senator , by the way , never falls
lo answer a letter. The story Is told of
lilm that Bomn time airo an angry con
stituent , displeased with Brlco's action
in a certain matter , sent him postal
card on which was the single line In a
largo round hand :
I think you nro an unmitigated jack

throw it into the waste basket when his

Cnicuao. 111. , March 1. [ Spoclnl Tologrnm
lo TUB BKK.J There Is more trouolo In store
for the whisky trust. This time it comes ,
not from a federal grand jury , but from
within the trust Itself. It Is nothing short
ofnsult which U likely to bring the inner
most secrets of the trust to light , nnd espe
cially some facts connected with the begin
ning of the trust.
The organization of the trust wns con
ducted on the principle that no sensible man
with commodity to sell will underrate the
value of that commodity ; Mint in business it
is permissible to place on It an exorbitant
price , if there is n chance to secure n cus
tomer that will take it nt the vendor's valua
tion. It was therefore determined to cnpl-
tnltzo the trust nnd issue stock on
h valuation of 400 per cent of the market
value of the proportl6s. As the promoters of
the trust proceeded they found no opposition
In any qunitor to tbo plan. An owner ot n
distillery worth tT5,000 wns perfectly willing
to have his plant valued at (300,000 , nnd to
tnko certificates ot stock In the whisky trust
for that amount.
But attor the trust was fully organized
some of Iho distillers began to think they
) md not fared so well as their neighbors.
Their plants had-gouo in at n 400 per con
valuation , but tholr neighbors had boon up-
praised all the way from 600 to 800 per cent
nbovo market values.
The dissatisfaction of tha men who failed
to got In on the ground floor has existed over
since. They have expostulated , but in vain.
Tbo mon who had got lu on iho ground Door
had thorn upon the hip , principally because
they were distnclincdao give away the se
crets of the trust. In parting with their
distilleries the members received cortlDcatos
of the waterv stock.
Hiivti an iyo on Soiiirtlilng.
By the into manipulating most of the cer
tificates have found their way to Wall street ,
whore tricy are now held. By the deal dis
tillers have cleared * r,000,000 to ? 10,000,0)0 ( )

BoSToxr MossYj Marcb 1. A story pub
lished this evening say's more surprises uro
in store for the poop'o ' most interested in the
whisky trust cases. Before another twouty-
four hours have elapsed , it is not improba
ble , say those who are in a pouion to know ,
that arrests will bo made on indictments
found by the federal grand jury in aoasioo In
this city which will create a profound sensa
tion. The indictments have resulted from the
prosecution of tha.whlsk.r trust oflicials and
thn charge contained in them is that of tam
pering with members pf tbo grand jury and
of attempting to prevent the finding of nn
indictment. Tuo matter has bean kept ex
ceedingly quiet. .District Attorney Allen
docs not deny that iudlctments have been
found ; ho merely says he can give uo Infer
mation.
T OWKU , Mass. , March 1. Charles I. Hood
said today : "The statement that I wus the
loader in fighting Uils whisky trust i not
correct. Mr. Sticknoy , who purchased our
alcohol , called iny attention some tlino ago to
the combination but I was busy at tbo time
and did not pay much attention. Wo con
tinued to purchase-our alcohol whore wo
co'uld get it the cheapest and finally Mr.
Sticknoy called my attention to the fact that
the agent of this combin.lion refused to re
deem our roonto checks. The rebate money
U held by tno agents of this combina
tion and wo do not receive any hit frost
est un It. That money should be enough
to conduct the business and tbo parties own
ing the distilleries in tbo combination need
not have a dollar of capital invested. When
the agents of the combination refused to re
deem our chocks because wo purchased alco
hol of parties outsida their combination , I
wrote to the attorney general about the mat-
tut- and ho referred the communication to the
United Stales district attorney for investiga
tion. Notwithstanding tbo efforts of this
combination , wo have boon able to purchase
alcohol of oulHltlo parties at a cheaper rate.
I think wo have purchased alcohol from
members of tbo combination who hope to
break down the competitor selling to us. I
do not wish to bo placed in tbo position of
lighting this trust or combination , but I
want the right to purchase alcohol in the
cheapest market. "

PARK MATTERS DISOU33ED.

Nearly 200 of the citizens of the First nud
Second words mot last evening In Motz hall
on South Thirteenth street to discuss the
south side park question. The meeting wns
called by a Joint committee of nine members
each from the First and Second wards to
gree on what tract to recommend to the
park commission for purchase.
Jix-County Commissioner O'Kooffo pre
sided and C. A. Yost was elected secrotnry.
Ha ndvooitod the purchase of the Clarke
tract , with which Tom Murray has offered to
donate several additional acres.
Judge Hascall also favored the salno tract ,
nnd snld that Syndicate park was bound to
remain n park for nil tlmo.
Dan O'KoelTo took the other slilo.ndvocat
ing the inirclmso of Syndicate park and
roasting tno Clnrka otfor to n turn. Ho paid
his respects to Tom Murray , whom ho de
clared never gnvo away u cent In his lifo , nnd
intimated that Mr. Clarke had given Murray
f500 or more to make his ' 'donation , " in order
that the Clarke tract might bo sold for tl,200
nn acre , which , be said , is much moro than It
W worth. He spoke of the trots In Syndicate
park nni ) declared Hint the ClnrKo tract bad
none. Ho thought n park should bo secured
to bonctit the present generation.
Ernest Stuht declared that there were moro
trees on the Clarke tract than In Syndicate
park. Ho thought the price of the Clurko
tract was much moro reasonable than any of
the other tracts , as it was only n inllo from
the spot where the meeting was held , while
for other tracts six miles nway the sum of
1,100 , was asked. Ho urged unity of action ,
without which nil efforts would fall.
'Ed. Cornish ouloirlzea Hnscnll. who , ho
salt ) , bad assisted the greatest Im
provement over mndo in the city by
' 'standing in * ' with the chairman In the open
ing of South Thirteenth street. Ho know
that Sviidlcnto park would always remain
such , tbongb , or course , the owners would
rather have the city pay for tbo improve
ments than do It themselves. Ho wns of the
opinion , lee , thut payment for that park. If it
wns to bo bought , should bo made by bouth
Omaha , as It wns properly a park for that
city.
city.M. . Donovan snld ho had oprosod the Clarke
tract , but after seeing it ho was in favor of
buying tt , though ho was still an admirer of
Syndicate park , which ho was sure would
always rvmaln n park anyway. Ho believed
that the priuo usicd for many of the tracts
was'tdo hied , uud cited the I'nrltor and Uls-
"
ton tracts' Ho snld $3Ult or $000 nn ncre was
too much lo" pay for n cornfield , and the
cheapest land oflercd was ou the south sido.
Huscull moved that the park commissioners
bo requested to purchase the Clarice tractac
cept the Murray donation nud hold the Dal-
anco of the money In reserve.
Dan O'Keofo offered as un amendment that
UioolUcluls bo rpiiuestnd not to sell the bonds
this year , ns the right of eminent domain
would soon bo restored and Iho money could
then bo expended without playing into the
bands of the land sharks and property could
bo secured for what it is worth.
Dr. W. H. Hanchott spoke in favor of the
Clarke tract and urged that an Immediate-
purchase be rocointnondcd.
Mr. Powers thought the matter of post
poning the purchase of parks should properly
cotno before u mass tncotiug of citizens of the
north and south sldos.
The amendment was overwhelmingly de
feated und Hoscall's motion carried with a
whoop.
On motion of Mr. Donovan n resolution
was adopted demanding that u liberal slice of
this year's sewer allowance bo expended
south of the tracks.

the yard and wore guarded by a half-dozttn
attendants. In this portion of tbo Instiiuilon
lhero were 157 inmates. From those con
fined in the prison department the most
trouble was anticipated by the olllcers. Miss
Kelly wont in to the hallway and In a loud
tone called the attention nt the prisoners in
the fact that the building was ou llro. '
am going to unlock these colln , but I want1
you to promise mo that you will stand by m °
and not one attempt to escape. "
The women with ono volco promised this
and the doors flung open. The fifty-throe
