THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE DRY GOODS HOUSE IN OMAHA.
V. at, O. A. BOILDINO, COB. 10T11 AND DOUGLAf ITft,
John Lally, who has n record for bravery,
were Informed during the day by a negro
that Charlo was In hiding In a houso on
Clio, near Saratoga street. Determining to
tako him alive It possible tho officers sum
moned a number of patrolmen to the utntlon
and went to the house.
Tbo negro Informant ot the policemen ac
companied the officers. They entered the
Hide alley and wcro surprised In practically
tho samo way as wcro Day und Lamb. Ileforo
tho ofllccrs wcro aware of their danger
CharleB, who was hidden behind a screen on
tho second floor of tho building, raised his
Winchester and began a furlotiti but accurate
fire. Lally fell with a bullet In tho right
side of tho abdomen. Porteaus was shot
through tho head and dropped dend ocross
tho body of I-ally. Tho other ofllccrs and
the negro fled from tho scene.
Tho reports of Charles' Winchester and
tho fact that two officers lay bleeding In
the yard raised tremendous excitement.
Hurry calls woro oent to the mayor, the
chief of pollco and Colonel Wood, In com
mand of tho special police, nnd armed help
was rushed to the scene. In a little while
there was an Immense armed crowd circling
the square In which Charles was located.
Hoy Klllril at Priest'" Side.
In tho meantime rather Fltigerald of St.
John's church was summoned to administer
extrrmo unction to tho pollco oillcerH, who
were dying In the alley. The prlcftt re
sponded promptly nnd he was annolntlng tho
body of I'ortcaua with Alfred O. Iiloomlleld,
a young hoy, standing by his side, when
Chnrlos again appeared at the window. The
lad saw him at onco and begged tho negro
not to shoot him. The negro, however,
fired his Winchester nnd Illooinflcld fell
dead. Tho priest, unhurt, left tho scene,
after plucklly performing tho last oillccs for
thoVlead officer.
When tho ambulance arrived two men vol
unleercd to go Into tho alley and bring nut
the body of Lally. They entered and while
they were attempting to tako the body of
the dead ofllcer from that of his colleague
Charles Ored again. Tho men goUI.ally's
body out "and afterward took I'brteaus' hody
out also. In tbo moantlme, an Immense
crowd! had gathered In tho vicinity and
schemes wero .set on foot to gel 'fcharlea
out of tho building. Charles, however, did
not propose to glvo up his life cheaply.
After a time ho camo to tho window and
five men, one by one, entered tho Galley, ho
blazed away nt them. In this manner Con
fectioner Loclere, who was one of the spo
elal police squad. ex-rollCeman Evans, John
nknvllle and (!eorge H. Lyeiiu, son. of tho
heud of a big drug establishment, were
wounded. ' ,
At this time tho extra pollco began to Are
t the negro and ho returned their lire.
Keeper of .In II Shot Dcnil.
Andy van Kurem, keeper of tho pollco
Jail, got a bullet In the body and fell dead
Jut afterward H. 11. Hall, aged Bj, was
hit and mortally wonnded. About tho same
time- Frank Ilertuccl received a shot In tbo
left shoulder, and J. W. llolll, one In the
right band.
Ultimately It was decided that the only
way to get CharlrH was to burn ta building
In which he. was entrenched. There were
however, some scruples nbout resorting to
i this method of getting him, owing to tho
section In which tho house, was Bltuated
being densely populated. Nevertheless
was determined that tho fire department
ahould be culled out lu order to protec
surrounding property In cbbo 11 shuuld bo
resolved to burn tho building.
At the moment ot apparent indecision
porno cno went tn a neighboring grocery
purchased a ran ut oil nnd, pouring It over
the rear steps of the building, applied
match nnd soon had tho building In flames
So flercMy did tho flro burn that It became
evident that no human being could live I
tho building and picked men from the pn
llco special cquad and soldiers stationed
themselves about the building in order to
pick off tho desperado na ho attempted to
leave tin) house,
A young man, named Adolph Anderson, a
member of tho Thirteenth company of stnto
mllltla, was ono of the first to see Charles
as ho ran down the ntups leading to tho
second atory Charles run actors the yard
nnd entered tho second room. He fired sev
oral times nt Anderson and the latter, who
was armed with a Winchester rifle, shot the
negro In the breast and he felt and died
soou afterward.

As soon ns the negro fell numbers of per-
uons, armed with Winchesters and revolvers
rushed In and llred Into tho body. Charlei
was llter-dly shot to pieces. After It wan
certain that ho was dead, a mob entered the
yard and dragged the body Into the street,
There tho mob nnd the police emptied thel
revolvers Into It, while n son of one of tho
murdered men ran up and (stabbed the faco
oyond recognition.
There, wcro loud howls that tho body
should bo taken to a square In the vicinity
nd publicly burned. At this Instant, how
ever, a big squad of pollco dashed up In a
patrol wagon. Several thousund person
congregated In the vicinity and It wns feared
there would bo n clash between the ofllccrs
and the mob. The police, however, seemed
10 gain me upper nana aim promptly pusne
the crowd nelde, picked up the body nnd
threw It Into the patrol wagon. The driver
whipped up his horses and the wagon
started off, with 6,000 persons running afte
it nnd clamoring for the cremation ot tho
body of tho desperado, Tho wagon wa
faster than the mob and It ultimately made
Ita way in safety to police headquarters
Thero an Immense crowd had gathered and
great difficulty was experienced In taking
tho corpse ot the negro from tho wagon tnt
tho morgue. When Charles' body was
stripped It was found to have been literally
lacerated from head to foot by the bullet
llred Into It.
Doubt it m to Drnil Miiii'n Identity.
Shortly after the body had been placed
upon the marble alab In tho morgue, Ann
Oandt, a negro woman who was alleged t
have known Charles Intimately, came to
the morgue ami after examining tho body
carefully, declared that It was not that ot
Cliarlea, but ot his half brother, Sly Jack
son. Later in the evening, however, Jo
seph Stossl, a responsible Italian, arrive
at the prison and positively Identified it
that of tho murderer of Day and Lamb
Starsl stated that he had lived In tho build
ing which Charles occupied (or scvernl
months and thit he was Intimately ac
quainted with him. Ho said he could not
be mistaken In his Identification.
Coroner Richard said to n representative
ot tho Associated Press that upon examina
tion of tho clothing of the dead man he
found a slip ot paper bearing the name of
Hobert V. Charles, who h1m went under
the name of Sly Jackson.
Other ,eroc Arc Killed.
Shortly after the body of Charles had been
taken away, a report spread that thero wore
still some negroes In the burning building.
The squaro wnn again quickly Hiirrounded
by n guard of men wllh Winchesters and
a sprclnl squad made Its way Into tho build
ing. In a room which the fire had not
reached three negroes woro found dressed
tn women's clothes. They were hustled out
nnd Immediately sent to prison In a patrol
wagon. Subsequently, n fourth negro, a
mulatto, was discovered In tho building. Ho
in a do a desperate resistance against being
arrested and while In the hands of the po
llco was killed by a shot fired from a pistol
In tho hands ot one of tho disorderly mob
that had congregated n the vicinity.
Just about tbo time Charles' body reached
tho morgue, tbo body of an unknown negro,
who had been shot and stabbed to death
on Gallatin street, was Carried In, ThU
negro wna passing through tho French mar
ket, when he was seen by a crowd of whites.
Tho Intter ero Intensely excited by the
newB nt the killing of Porteaus and others

unknown negro ran for h's lite, and the
angry mob kept at his hoels, tho crowd in
creasing In numbers very minute. Tho
negro Anally succeeded In entering a houso
on Gallatin street. Ho ran up the stairs
and Jumped from the gallery to the ground.
Before he could rise the mob shot and
stabbed him to death.
Up to tho tlie of tho tragody at Clio and

MAUlllD. July 27. The cabinet Is consld-
Ing the proposition of tho United States gov
ernment for tho cession of tho Islands ot
Clbltu and t'agayen In consideration of
an indemnity of $100,000. Tho ministry re
gards the proposition favorably nnd negotia
tions for n treaty of accord between tne two
governments nro proceeding rapidly.
WASIIINC.TON, July 27. Arrangements
havo practically been mado for tho pur
chase from Spain by tho United States ot
tho Islands of Clbltu and Cngaycn, which
wcro loft In Spain's possession by tho
treaty of Purls, although part of tho Phil
ippine archipelago. The purchnso price
was not mado public.
Had the peaco commissioner" at Paris, In
nrrnngln for the rellnulshment to the United
States of the Philippines, contented them
selves with the phraseology "the Philippine
archipelago," as descriptive of tho territory
to be ceded to tho United States by Spain,
no (I'liMtlon, perhaps, would havo arisen
over the possession of Clbltu and Cagayen
Islands. lint to avoid the least chance of
loose definition the peace comtnlskloncrs
drew a topographical boundary line around
the Islands to bo transferred. The bounus
wore fixed by mcrldlan of longitude and
parallels of latitude. The line generally de
scribed a parallelogram, but nt the south
western corner, for some reason, there was
nn Inset, excluding somo of the Islands off
tho cennt of norneo. lly tho terms cf the
treaty the southern boundary lino of the
archipelago started at the eastern end nt
the 127th meridian and ran along the paral
lel of 40 degrees. 45 minutes westward, to
the morldlan of 11!) degrees, 25 mlnute3.
At that point the line ran directly northward
to latitude 7 degrees, 40 minutes, nnd thence
wns deflected to the 111th meridian, form
Inc tho omall Inset above referred to.
It was a year after the slgnnture of th"
treaty of Paris heforo the fact was ills
covered that In laying down these bsund
arles the commissioners had excluded the
Islands of Clbltu nnd Cagayen. It was
disclosed by the visit to that part of the
r . I.. tlnltn.l Cl-itra m t trial h I n
arcnipc mBO m ...t- ..... j condition obtained by a dose of
Concord. Tho commander of the vessel '
landed on Clbltu nnd was cordially received
by the reigning datol. who promptly hoisted
tho itnr and stripes and announced hlmselt
under the protection of the United States
Attention being nttracted to that quarter the
Spanish government soon discovered the do-fe-t
In the boundary line, and through
Duko D'Arcos, set up a claim to the State
department for tho possession nf the Is
lands. The department took the ground
that the purpese of tho treaty of Paris In
that section was to convey the entire Phil
ippine nrchlpolago to tho United States, and
the general Innguage of the net of cession
was sufllclent to effect that transfrr, the
letincd bnundnrlrs being nn iinneccfsary de
scription. Negotlatlona lasting many
monthn followed and each anil every mem
ber of tho pence commission was called up' n
to give his individual understanding of the
proceedings at Paris, so far as they boro
upon this point. . Finally It uppearcd that
an exact boundary would have to be ac
cepted, Instead of ono laid down In general
terminology, according to tho fundamental
principles of common law. That being the
case, It becamo necessary. In the Interest
of sound policy nnd tn prevent the existence
of a probable cause of Irrltntlcn In the fu
ture, to buy nut Spain's neighborly rlghtu
und continue tho two Islands iih part of tho
Philippine archipelago. As announced
frcm Madrid, the cabinet, hy which Is meant
tho Spanish cabinet. ! favorably consider
ing the proposed transfer nnd the negotla
tloiia practically may bo regarded ns closed,
on the basis of a caBh payment to Spain by
tho United Stateti of $100,000 for the two
Islands.
Tho two Islnnds aro Insignificant In area
and thinly populated, probably containing
from 6.000 to 8,000 people In all. Clbltu Is
a long, nnrrow Islnnd. fourteen mllo3 In
length by two across. H Is lint and unin
teresting, save for one small conical moun
tain In the center about GOO feet In height.
It Is surrounded by coral reefs, with no
anchorage to speak of. Clbltu lies only four
miles outsldo of the southern boundary tlxed
hv tho treaty of Paris.
Cagayen Is ubout tho same area. Ilvo miles
by eight, with mountains reaching a height
nf l ino feet. It is tho Inrgest of half a
dozen tiny Islnnds known ns tho Cagayen
Sulu group, and owing allegiance to tho
sultan of Sulu. Its chief products nro to
bacco, sugar and slmilur tropical products
lluth tho Islands aro said to bo mainly vul-
uablo for their pearl and shell fisheries,
which It Is poiitible. may doclop some com
merclal Importance.
Ono Important consideration which has
Influenced tho United States government In
these neKotiutious Is tho desirability of ex
cluding any Eutopcan power from the pos
session of tho Islands fnr use ns a naval
station, which would constitute a constant
menaco to the United States sovereignty.
There tu reason to bellevo that schemes of
that kind already havo l.ccn put ufloat, which
aro now to bo thwarted.
