Crowley n Second 'lime nnd
(let Arretted,
The northwest corner of Twelfth and
Karnam streets and the hour of 10:30 n. m.
havo n strange fatality for John Crowley,
railroad laborer. Twice he has been held
up on that spot at that time and both times
by tho same man.
On the first occasion, the evening of
June 23, the man thrust a pistol In Crow
ley's face and robbed him of $1". Then
Crowloy left the city, without making n
complaint, and didn't return until last
Friday. Strolling leisurely out of a res
taurant In the vicinity late In tho evening
he walked toward Twelfth and Karnam
streets nnd there was his old friends ut
tering the familiar words, "Hands up,
please!"
Hut this time Crowley kept his nerve
Throwing his arms about tho footpad's
waist nnd pinioning the arms of tho lat
ter to his sides, ho called "Police!" at
the top of his voice. Thero was a tussle.
The footpad was the stronger of tho two
nnd broke away, only to land on the bosom
of Sergeant Hudson.
At tho police station the "stlckup" gave
the name of Daniel Murley. Crowley tiled
n complaint against him Monday, charging
him with tho highway roboery of Juno 25.

South Omaha News . j
For tho last four or flvo meetings of
the rtoard of Kducntlon. Superintendent
Wolfe has been asking tho board to pur
chase tho necessary school books for the
coming year. Nothing, however, had ever
been done. Last meeting Dr. Wolfo sub
mitted a list of books that would bo needed,
to cost In tho neighborhood of $2,000. At
thnt tlmo ho told tho board that unless cer
tain books wero nt onco purchased tho
Jungmann school could not open.
Mr. Miller of tho text book committee
reported last night on tho superintendent's
suggestion and suggested that tho board
buy, not the superintendent's list of books.
but one thnt he had complied. Dr. Wolfo
Indignantly retorted that the list of books
that Mr. Miller had read off were not tho
ones needed nt all, still they cost within
.100 of what tho whole list furnished by
him would cost. The rest of tho board
sided with the superintendent and a mo
tion wns mado to buy tho list of books
that tho superintendent desired, not those
that Mr. Miller suggested. This was car
ried almost unanimously.
Then camo tho tilt ns to what commlttco
should purchaso tho books. Superintendent
Wolfo ndvlsed thnt the secretary bo In
structed to buy tho books and buy them
direct from tho publisher. Tho text book
commlttco ralced a howl against this nnd
declnred that unless It bought tho books
tho school could stay closed for all they
enrcd. Members of this commlttco In
sisted they wanted to buy tho booka from
local dealers and Mr. Miller said ho could
buy them hero ns cheap as they could
bo bought of the publishers direct. Ono
member laughingly remarked that Mr. .Mil
ler could get them cheaper hero than tho
publishers could print them.
This controversy resulted In n vote of
4 to 1 and nt last, In order to supply tho
schools with books, no matter at what cost,
I.ott. who had voted for tho books bo lag
purchased direct from tho publishers,
voted that tho text book committee get
them from any placo.
Superintendent Wolfe suggested thnt
pianos be secured for tho following named
schools: Lincoln, Lowell, Hawthorne,
Jungmann, Albright nnd Highland. Tho
proper commlttco was Instructed to look
after it.
Tho committee- appointed to rent neces
sary rooms to conduct tho school said
It had no report to make. Only ono
meeting between this and tho opening of
school will bo hold and still tho rooms havo
not been secured.
It was urged again that all bills be
O. Kd." before being presented for pay
ment and officially stated that unless this
is done bills will not bo recognized.
Tho letting of the contract for tho repair
of the basement of the Lincoln school fur
nished somo little discussion. Thero wero
tour bids, hut tho bid of Drlggs & Cupcr-
nell did not have n $50 check accompanying
It. For this reason it was nrgued not to
read It. The price they offered to do tho
work for bolng about $100 less than tho
lowest bid of tho other three, howovor.
prompted tho board to consider It. It wns
decided to let thom havo tho Job If they
deposited $50 within tho- next two days
nnd If they did not do this to glvo It to
McDonald & Hock. The former's bid was
$2D8.SO and tho next $390. Tho two other
bids wero over $500 each.
Tho contract of D. J. Farrell, with bonds
attached, was taken up and tho socretarj
and president were Instructed to approve
It. An extra carpenter at a salary nf
JtiO a month was employed.
A v,ldo discrepancy between the reports
of Secretary Rrennnn nnd Former Secre
tary ltyan brought County Superintendent
nidwell to the meeting to sco what the
trouble wat It was over the July balance
Drcnnan s report showed that In July, 1S99,
tho balance was J?3J. Ryan said It was
125,070.16. It was found that ltyan wns
right.
Bulla was absent and Lechnor presided.
Strike Prolinlile.
The report sent out from St. Joe and other
points to the effect that the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters would call a general strike
nnd that It would effect South Omaha cannot
be confirmed here. At the different labor
meetings which were held Sunday after
noon In South Omaha the matter was made
light of. They declare that the trip of
President M. Donnely to St. Joe was not
In the Interest of the union and did not bear
upon the trouble which seems now brewing.
Bert Davis, treasurer of the local Trades
and Labor council, yesterday received n
telegram from Donnely conveying the above
Information. So far ns could bo learned
from tho different unions yesterday, there
Is absolutely no disposition on their part
to Inaugurate or participate in a strike.

OILMAN, Iill , Aug. 27. Two men killed,
threo wounded two of them perhaps
fatally ono woman wounded nnd her resi
dence burned nro tho results of an nil-
night battlo between a mob and Mrs. Dr.
C. W. Wright, who was accused of the
murder of Dessto Salter, tho 16-year-old
daughter of a citizen of Oilman.
Tho dead:
JOHN MYERS, laborer employed by Mrs.
Dr. Wright.
MICHAEL RYAN, citizen serving as
deputy constable.
Fatally wounded:
Lnrence Rynn, brother of the dead man,
wounded In nbdomcn.
Oeorgo Wllloughby, citizen, shot through
left lung.
Mrs. Dr. C. W. Wright, shot through
right shoulder, bullet taking downward
course, -
Seriously wounded:
, Peter Hauer, member of citizens' attack
ing party; shot through stomach.
Early In tho evening tho first act of tho
tragedy was enacted, when Constable Nil
stead went to tho house on tho outskirts
of the town, occupied by Mrs. Wright, to
servo on the occupant a warrant sworn out
after tho coroner's Jury had declared her
guilty of murder. A number of deputies
gathered upon the street, accompanied by
Constnble Nllstcad. Mrs. Wright barrel
tho door and In forcing nn entrance tho
constables encountered unexpected opposi
tion. They broke the outer doors open
nnd entered the darkened room, Michael
Ryan felt his way across the tlrsl room and
was about to enter the door of the Inner
apartment when a shot rnng out and he
fell mortally wounded. The constables
made a hurried exit, formed a picket
line around the building and at regular In
tervals fired Into tho tyilldlng. They de
termined to set fire to tho building, but
the recent rains had so dampened tho tim
bers It would not burn. After burning
some outbuildings tho posso gave up tho
attempt nnd fell back to tho original plan
of driving out Mrs. Wright,
Croud lleeonieo I'ren.led,
About 3 o'clock tho family of Michael
Ryan arrived, The dead man had bceu cur
ried to the bushes near tho hotibo In which
he met his death. A mob of jirohnbly 250
people had gathered. .Most of them wero
nrmed. The scenes of grief which followed
tho arrival of Ryan's wife and children
filed tho crowd with frenzy. They scl?.ed
dozens of bundles of straw, saturated them
Ith petroleum, piled them against the so-
called hnt-pltnl and npplled the torch. In
moment the placo was a mass of llames.
Shot after shot rang from the upper win
dows nnd George Wlllouehby. a local
representative of tho Standard Oil com
pany, fell with a bullet In the left side.
Tho noxt victim was Peter Hauer, a mem
ber of tho attacking party. These casual
ties so angered tho crowd that they vol
lej;ed tho houso as faBt as they could load
their firearms.
Contrary to expectations no screams fol
lowed tho progress of llames and tho mob
began to think that the inmates of the
burning house had been cremated. Sud
denly, from n bunch of -limber In tho rear,
several shots came In the direction of tho
mob. They were nnswered n hundred to
one nnd the nre was quickly silenced
Members of tho mob rushed to the timber
nnd In the dim light of the coming dawn
found tho body of John Myers, a blacksmith
who had been employed by Mrs. Wright,
stretched In tho death nennv ln nD ,,,
Hircicncu in ino noam n(,onj. Ho was shot
In a dozen places about the head nnd
shoulders, showing thnt he had been hina
on his face, tiring at his enemies, when ho
met death. Near by lay Mrs.
Wright, a
ragged hole In her shoulder.
Oecnolon for the Mob.
Mrs. Dr. Wright is about 50 years of age.
It Is stated that sho wns formerly nn
nctress. For somo tlmo sho hns been con
tacting a lying-in hospital on tho out-
skirts of Oilman. The death of Dessle
Salter In the houso last Friday nnd tho
later verdict of tho coroner's Jury Satur
day caused tho Issuanco of a warrant for
hor arrest, which resulted In tho wholesale
-.hooting and prnbnblo death of the princi
pal.
Madame Wright was brought to tho city
hall and a strong gunrd placed over hor.
A crowd soon nsscmbled nt tho city hall
and threats of lynching were uttered.
Every effort was made to quiet and dls
porso tho mob, but at 0:30 o'clock this
forenoon tho mob made another demon
stration, smashing In the windows with
stones and clubs. This culmlnntcd In n
shot being fired through tho window by
ono of tho mob, barely missing the
woman.
Tho prisoner, Mrs. Wright, was taken
by Sheriff Mnrtln to Paxton at noon by
rail nnd thenco to tho Wntseka Jail. Tho
mob became moro qulot tonight nnd no
further demonstration Is feared In Oil
man. It Is rumored tho mob will attack
tho Wntseka Jail.
At tho coroner's Inquest today, In tho
caso of John Meyers, tho Jury brought In
a ordtct of "death hy bullet woundH from
parties unknown."
In the enso of Michael Ryan tho ver
dict of tho Jury wns "death by leaden bul
lets fired from Mrs. Wright's houso by
parties unknown."
Tho Inquest over the body of Dcsslo
Salter was comploted this evening. Tho
Jury hold Mrs. Wright to tho grand Jury
without bull.
Tho condition of Wllloughby nnd Howor
is very discouraging.
It was reported nt first that three of
Mrs. Wright's girl "patients" hnd per-
ifcliod In tho fire, hut this 13 thought to
havo been a mistake.
