Tragic Death of Peter Johnson While Re
pairing a Ons Main ,
CRUSHED TO DEATH AND ROASTED
'ccullnr Acclilcnt In Which n 1'nlthrul
Kmplojo of tlio City ( la * Company
Lost lllii Mfo Details of
the
Peter Johnson , an old employe of the gas
company , lost his life In a tragic manner last
light. His work for years past lias been to
oca to and repair leaks in the gas mains.
Yesterday evening a leak was discovered In
ono of the pipes leading frolu the main on
'
Main street at the corner of SIxt'centh av-
cmio and Johnson went at once to repair it.
Ho had taken up Iho pavement aim dug
lowu to the main shortly before S o'clock.
Jo was alone nt his work and ns the street
s poorly lighted at that point no ono noticed
anything wrong until a horse fell into the
ditch and was badly injured.
The animal was gotten out about 8:30 :
o'clock , and the crowd that had collected
went away cursing the gas company for its
nt'gllgenco in leavimr nu open hole in the
street unguarded. The fact that the man's
coat lay there did not scorn to attract any
mention , but half an hour afterward it oc
curred to a newspaper reporter to loolt into
the hole and see what tbero was at the bet
tom. The gas was coming up from the bole
with tei-rlllc force , making a roaring sound
that could bo heard halt a block away. The
reporter braved thu danger and touched the
bottom of the hole with his feet. The touch
revealed the body of a man , or created the
suspicion that the body of a man was there.
Miulo n Sickening Discovery.
The asslitanco of a man with n lantern
was called , and their efforts to hold the Ian
tern so that the light would shine into the
hole resulted In the Ignition of the rushing
volume of gas , and a terrific explosion oc
curred that sent them flying backward. Two
other explosions instantly followed , the
flumes shooting high into the air , and crrad-
ually subsiding into a ghostly flicker above
the mouth of the pit. The light of the ex
plosions revealed the body of tlio dead man
lying on his face In the bottom of the bole.
Kopcatcd efforts wore maao to secure the
body , but all were fruitless , many of the
men attempting it beinc overcome by the
choking volumes of gas. The company was
notlflcd. hut the man whoso duty it was to
turn off the gns and who know how and
whcro to do U , was lying dead in the pit ,
and it was nearly midnight before any ono
could bo found who knew whcro to go and
turn It off. In the meantime heroic efforts
were made to recover the body with hooks ,
hut the lire had burned off nearly all of his
clothing , and there wns nothing to grapple
but the naked , blistered flesh. At 11 o'clock
one of the gas men resolutely went down
into the hole and pulled out the body.
It is not known whether the man was
overcome by the escaping gas or was injured
by thu horse falling in upon him. The
struggles of the horse evidently broke the
pipe and let the full force of the gas escape.
Johnson's home is at the corner of Eighth
avenue and Ninth street. Ho leaves a wife
and several cnildren. He has been in the
employ of the company for years and was a
trusted and valued employe.

Strnnco Cniio or n Council lllnn" I.niljr.
A well known lady in Council Bluffs
adds her hearty testimony to the many
wonderful cures that have been made hy
the Swcctland remedies. She was
afflicted llko thousands of others with a
complication of disorders that ballled the
physicians. She has voluntarily put
into writing a statement of her case.
Among other things she says :
"I had been sutlering from constipa
tion and jiiles for 20 years nt least and
had Ircquontly been operated upon by
physicians and surgeons. Until re
cently I have been suffering from an in
cision made by the knife , which had
been kept open for weeks. Around this
serious ulccratlons formed , extending
upward. Tlio same kind of exceedingly
painful ulceration had troubled mo for
years and affected my spine and brain.
Two years ago I was prostrated with
spinal meningitis , or spinal fever , since
which time I have had severe pains in
my head , back and limbs. The only re
lief I ever got was when I tried the
Svveetlanil Remedies. The pain in my
hcnil , hack and limbs loft mo with
the first injection almost , and the second
injection brought away tlio cause of my
trouble , more than twenty ulcers and
kindred fungus growth and two hours
later at least half a pint of ulcerous
mucus. For many days there continued
to pass largo quantities of ulcerous
matter , much of it of a dark red char
acter. 1 have never enjoyed such perfec-
robust health since girlhood. My eyes
sight has returned and 1 can read at
well as over and us long ns I choose. I
am happy to recommend the Remedy to
nil ladies suffering from such com
plaints. "
By using the Swectland Magic Rectal
Injection Fluid till ulcerous and cancer
ous taints are eradicated from the body
by its po\ycrful purifying elements and
by removing the impurities and vegeta
tions that clog up the bowels , it destroys
the geruis of discabe. The olllcos and
laboratory of Drs. DoPow & Swcotland
are at ( JOOi Broadway , upstairs , Council

Iov. K , .Tanunry , piiBtor of the Colored
linptlst church , was nrrcsteit yesterday
under a complaint made by Hon. Texas
Hitkor , a former member of his Hock. The
charge made against him \vns breaking Into
Halter's house , AH tlio indications were
tlmt it wns n mere piece of suite work , as
Texas hns already served a term in the
penitentiary and bus a generally bad
reputation , while the pastor Is regarded as
an estimable gentleman. According to the
story which January tells , ho had bought
Bilker's home , and linker Imd agreed to
turn It over to him on tlio 14th of this month.
On that day January , accompanied by Oscar
Jones , another colored man , went to the
house and found the door open. No ono wns
there and they walked In.- Soon Uakcr ap
peared upon the scene , and over since that
time Ivp 1ms steadily refused to turn the
house over to January. Yesterday morning
January went to a Justice court anil got a
writ of replevin by virtue of which ho was
placed hi possession of the premises. Ho
nnlleil up the doors nml windows , and when
Ualtor came nround to get in he found every
thing barred ngnlnst him. ills wrath was
unbounded when ho learned of the march
his ex-pastor had stolen upon him , and going
before the city clerk ho Hied nn information
upon which ho was arrested us above stated.
January wns released on his own recogniz
ance to appear tomorrow motnlng In police
court , lie considers it spite work from the
fact that Baker took no steps toward hav
ing him brouirlit to justice for his alleged
house breaking until after January had
seized the house.

Shortly after the trade shooting of Henry
Holsor a letter wns received by a party In
South Omaha from a woman who claimed to
bo the wife uf Iho victim of the shooting.
The letter was dated at n small town In
Illinois. She said they were married and
that Reiser mistreated anil finally abandoned
her. An effort wa > made to get more letters
from the woman , but she suddenly stopped
writing. It Is Intimated that llclscr's In
surance money will go to the woman In case
he should do ! , and that for this considera
tion she has concluded U policy tor her not
to write any moro letters.
Holscr's condition last night was about
the same as It has been for the last three
dnvs. Ho Is very low , and It Is not believed
that ho can survive much longer.

however , to expel n man for unbecoming conduct -

axpcnso whatever. Ho hasn't oven got u
book to illo away descriptions of criminals
who are wanted or n book to keep a record
of stolen property that may bo reported to
bun. Thcro is no Jailer at the station one-
half the time and at night the
place Is deserted entirely. The man
who is assigned the jail Is also
given a long boat tn cover and
if ho happens to bo within hearing when the
telephone rings ho answers it. Otherwise
the call Is lost. There is a rule that all oftl-
ccr.s shall telephone in to the station once
every hour. The men tried this for awhile ,
but as they could only catch the garbage man
or some citizen who had dropped in to an
swer the 'phone , the rule went hy default.
Other officers 'refused to report , because
they 'didn't haf to , see1 ? If the city council
would look into the police department a little -

Scmtlincnt Acalnat Sundny Closing.
While many of the people of South Omaha
are in favor of enforcing the laws ns strictly
ns Is practicable , there Is a strong sentiment
against closing the saloons on Sunday.
Mayor Walker is Inclined to bo lenient on
this proposition and unless the suggestion is
forced out by some of the councilmen who
are indignant over the conviction of the men
who wore convicted of selling on election
day , nothing will como of the rumor. The
saloons of this city have been allowed to
keep their back doors open on Sunday nil
the time and the police gay that all of them
have kept quiet and orderly places on that
day. _

when I was hold up with a ilo/.en others

Thoron. It was when wo wore building

ho had the boy.3 wild. Ho just went
around where they were at work and
fired oil his opinions about the way they
worked and didn't work and how they
were dressed , and every time ho biiid
anything to a man ho'd laugh in a way
that makes mo wonder no one jumped on
him out of hand ovorv time I think of it.
I wanted to kick myself to think I hadn't
done it myself before ho'd gene away a
hundred motors from where ho'd tried
to guy mo , and yon bet that night I
wished it more than over.
"At the table , at night of course ,
everybody was tearing mad about him ,
and no wus cussed on all hands , till
linally ono of the boys suggested giving
him enough of a scare to teach him but
ter manners. They thought a rope
would do it about right Jo take him out
as if to hung him , you know. Sandy
McLean took the lead he's over in
Guatemala on a colTco finca now. Sandy
wont around to the shack where the
fellow was stopping and gave the cham
bermaid two bits to put a watch under
the fellow's ' pillow so that we could ac
cuse him of theft and huvo some excuse
for hanging him.
"It was a sly game , but Sandy hadn't
sized tip the girl jtint right. Ho didn't
know that Thoron had been making her
think the earth she walked on wan cur-

and the money and then gave the wimp

but I may as well admit I was oloso bo-
sldo him.

recognized that buporolllous voice , and
it put us in humor to make him quake.
'Come right along In , " Thoron con
