Murray came to Omaha In the lnt - GO'S
and imnie-dlntuly began to accumulate a
fortune His methods were peculiarly his

nor lebs tliau a recluse endeavoring to make
I a fortune out of the old junl. und odds and
I pndK he picked uf. from the streets No
j matter -what Ills methods were , ho made
I money , uud a great deal of it Although
possessed of but Jlttle education , Murray
bad considerable business nbilltj and a
tfircwd sense of financial affalrb that en
abled him to get the best of roost bargains
Tor'ears he run n EecDnd-lianil CBtablifib-
ment , wliere one could purchase rin > thing
from n spinning wheel to u second-hand cof-

ulng wheels which lit * lias never been able
to Itipose of , lb told by one of Omaha's
most prosperous men

Murrav had great confidence in the future
of the clt } and put most of his money into
rlt } property und farms in the suction itn-
mediatel } surrounding Omaha As his prop-
ort > Increased in value , much of it being
unimproved the tuxes became harder nnd
harder to meet He conceived the idea of
on-ctiug the hotel which now bears his
name He laid the foundation Beveral } cars
lie-fore the rest of the building and as a con
sequence when be recommenced work he
was forced to tear down a great part of it.
MuUi-H 11 financial Crror.
Murru } reached the end of hlh ready cash
long before the building WHS completed and
one piece of propcrt } ufter another was
mortgaged to meet the demuudb made upon
him When ut a IOBB for more propert } to
mortgage be mortgaged the building Itself
*
and In this way WHS enabled to complete
and furnlbb his hotel
It appenrb that this was one of bib few
financial errors Although It was estimated
that at one time be WUB worth neatly 11,000-
000 in unimproved eit } propert } and farm
lands , with the tnortgageb and taxes , he hud
Hhouldered n greater load than be could
