A sham battle on the east bluff tract be
tween Indians and cowboys attracted about
4,000 people to that vicinity Friday after
noon and tbo crowd seemed to enjoy the
spectacle , for the applause was frequent end
long. The Indians were brought In groups
before the grandstand and Introduced , and
after that a battle was participated in be
tween a group on foot and a straggling
band mounted on ponlea. The slmulitcd ex-
cltcmont was quite real find the roar of the
guns with the galloping of the horse * and
the falling men made a scene that had
many elements of reality In It.
The bands of mounted men made two at
tacks upon the band gathered around the
tomtom In the foreground , but they wore
unable to put them to rout. After the
battle there was an exhibition of rough i Id-
Ing by cowboys. Ilroncho-bustlng was ono
of the things down on the program , but the
bronchos would not get excited and it was
with the uUnoet difficulty that the ponlea
wore made ta buck , and then It was with
the Hboral aid of spurs ,
The Indians Boomed to enter Into tbo
spirit ot tbo thing with a lively interest ,
and after a. ' few rehearsals they will be
able to gtvo n very creditable exhibition of
an Indian battle with their peculiar motbqda
iof warfare.
Among the other drawing cards nt the
ftVhlto city was the free fruit at the Horti
cultural building In tbo afternoon. A very
largo quantity of grapes and apples was dis
tributed. The display of fruit and flowers
( was visited by a great many people. There
was a larger attendance of out of town people -
plo Friday than has been at the exposition
in BO mo tlmo , and the concert at the Audi
torium in the afternoon was very largely at
tended. The program was an excellent one
and was encored liberally. Ono of the very
best things was "Birds on a Bough , " a duet
for piccolos , played by Messrs , Cbevro and
Moeller , In the evening the band was sta
tioned on the space In front ot the Govern
ment building , whore electric lights had been
arranged , Tbo people occupied seats along

Jones , the new conietlst , gave n flno eolo.
There \\as music by the Hawaiian singers
and by the Filipinos , and the ensemble waTery
Tory line. During the day Adelmann's band
gave two good .concerts , the selections being
mostly of a popular nature. The Omaha
band drew a very complimentary audience
by its creditable playing.
Jamrtj Walsh , superintendent of the Agri
cultural building , handed In his resignation
to the executlvo committee Friday afternoon
and it was accepted. The reaton for thlt
Biovo upon the part ot Mr. WaUh was the
fact that he Is a candidate for county com
missioner in the Third district this fall , and
ho fools that ho needs the time to devote to
his candidacy. Ho will visit the exposition
each week and render any assistance in his
power , hence Us place will not be filled. It
Is through Mr. Walsh's efforts that such a
large and creditable showing has been made
in the Agricultural department , ho having
worked indefatigably after his appointment
to make the display a success.

Every one desiring to vote at the election
to be held on November 7 must register.
Registration books in the nine precincts in
the city will be open on Thursday , October
19 , on Friday , October 27 , and on Saturday ,
November 4. Last fall the total registration
v.oa 3,235 , divided between the wards and
precincts as follows :
Flrat Ward First precinct , 609 ; Second
precinct , 341 ; Third precinct , 420 ; total ,
1,270.
Second Ward First precinct , 381 ; Second
precinct , 373 ; Third precinct , 215 ; total , 969.
Third Ward First precinct , 387 ; Second
precinct , 297 ; total , 684.
Fourth Ward 312.
The fall registration of 1897 showed a vote
of 2,887 , while that of 1898 was 3,235 , an In
crease In one year of 348 votes. It Is ex
pected that the Increase this year will bo
much larger than last year on account of the
largo riumbor of new industries here and the
employment of more men by the packing
houses. Some of these who watch these mat
ters think that the registration this fall will
reach 3,600 and possibly more. South Omaha
has grown a great deal within the last twelve
months , but Juat how much can hardly bo
estimated until It Is known what the Increase
In registration Is.
' 'The law enacted by the last legislature In
connection with the expenditure of money
by candidates Is causing some little uneasi
ness hero , as It has been the custom hereto
fore for candidates to bo lavish In the spend
ing of money , and It Is feared that the sud
den change In the method of procedure may
tend to lighten the vote. Candidates are
apparently willing to comply with the pro
visions of the law , as a violation renders a
person ineligible for ofllco even If elected.
An Interesting campaign is looked forward
to by both parties. The opllt In the demo
cratic party may cause an Increase In the
number of republican votes cast. At least
that Is the prediction of some democrats who
do not like tbe manner In which the demo
crats In control have acted lately.
Found Dead In n Snlonii.
James Vornk was found dead In a back
room at Blum's ealoon on lower N street
yesterday morning , and the remains wore re
moved to the inorguo by Undertaker Brewer.

and asked for some pTace to lie down. Ho
was shown a back room used for the stor
age of packing boxes , etc , , and be went to
Bleep with his head resting on a bundle of
old papers. From all Indications death was
*
caused by an over-Indulgence In Intoxicat
ing liquors. Tbo body was turned over to

CLEVER GRAFTER PROSPERS
Smooth Man with New Iilca Finds
Muny Vlctlm.i Anionff Tenant *
Who Desire Rcpnlra Mndc.
A man with original Ideas and a new
graft worked a number of people for small
sums last week and as n consequence Is now
engrossing the time of several detectives
detailed to find him. The stranger gave the
name of J. H. Kelsey. His graft was to
wear clotting similar to that of a working
man , visit dwellings which ho knew to be
rented , and pass himself off as a mechanic
sent by the owner of the building to make
a few repairs at the tenant's expense.
The plan worked like a charm and the
Imposter was not discovered until the date
the rent came due. Then the tenant of a
flat , presenting as part payment for the rent
ono of Kelsey's receipted blils , gave the
snap away. The collector as ho went along the
row found nearly all the tenants had small
bills to hand In as part payment for rent.
They were accepted , but when taken to the
ofllco and shown to the owner he disclaimed
any knowledge of them and asserted ho had
sent no ono to make repairs.
Kelsey used discretion In selecting
dwellings to visit. Ho looked the place
carefully over , noting the repairs that wore
needed and then called for the lady ot the
house. Usually the people that paid : ho
rent had made several unsuccessful at
tempts to pcrsuado the landlord to make
just the repairs Keloey noticed and which
ho said be came to fix. The people who
lived In tbo dwellings were glad enough to
accept hla assurances that the bills would
bo accepted as canh In payment of the
monthly rent and did not quarrel over the
amount asked as recompense for the tasks.
In this way Kelsey was able to charge
considerable more than the work was worth.
Among the house owners who had most
trouble with the man was S , lUchenberg ,
who owns the flat at the corner of Eighteenth
and California streets. Ho first discovered
the fraud when Mrs. Sparks , ono of his
tenants , handed him a bill for $1 for mnnd-
Ing nn owning. More discoveries of the
same Ulnd followed , and the police expect
to hear of similar complaints In the next
few days.

MISS FRANCES MUFF'S MONEY
Nearly All Recovered front Unrtcnilcr
Cole , IVlio In ClinrKcil tvlth
Grand I.nrceiiy.
Lyinan Cole , the bartender who confl-
deneed Miss Prances Muff out of $203 while
out riding with her , and later had "a good
tlmo" with a portion of the money , is
charged with grand larceny.
When questioned by Captain Donahue Fri
day morning , Cole admitted having received
the money from the young woman , but In
sisted that ho had spent all excepting tha
$30 in his pockets when searched. The cap
tain believed a part of the money had been
"planted , " and on investigation learned
that $170 had been left by Cole with two
friends for safe-keeping.
Tho' bartender deposited $150 with P. II.
Steyer , grooeryman at Twenty-fourth and
Lake streets , saying that ho won the money
In a gambling housein Council Bluffs , and
know ho would spend It If he kept it In
his pockets. Ho told a similar story to
George Cacklcy , saloonkeeper at Sixteenth
street and Capitol avenue , and left In his
charge $40 , half ot the sum having been
called for an hour later In the evening.
MlM Mutt told the p'olioo captain that Cole
obtained the money from her for the pur
pose of making a "flush" on some of his
friends. She said she had known the man
for three weeks , having met him nt n
dance , and a number of acqualtances they
had in common assured her Cole was a
straightforward man. She said Cole was
aware she bad the money , but bo did not
know it was on her person until she told
htm of the circumstances during the drive.
Miss Cole sold she wished to be driven
homo when the supper hour came In tlmo
to get the evening meal , but Cole would
not allow her to leave the buggy , whipping
tbo horse Into a run to prevent ber from
alighting from the vehicle. Tbo young wo
man worked as a maid for Mrs. T. F. Hall ,
2215 Sherman avenue , llcr homo was for
merly near Humphrey , Neb , , her father
having been a former owning property
eeven mlloa out ot the town.
The pollco have learned that Cole spent
about $30 They say there is still a small
sum which can bo recovered , so that the
young wocnan'a low win bo light.
