Tho crowd which did the smashing met on

moments past 12 o'clock the crowd moved
east on Curtis street io Jackson Btreet.
Tho wholesale liquor liouso Is a small frame

south on Jackson street nnd crossed the
rear of the lots between tho street and
the liquor houso. In ono of tho yards by a.
wood pile wns n log n foot thick at the
large end and about ten feet long. A half
dozen men seized the log and used It as a
battering ram. Tho men with tho log
rushed at the door and at tho first blow the
lock wns broken, tho door gavo way nnd
the crowd rushed In. At tho first rush tho
lantern which tho crowd cnrrlcd was ex
tinguished and tho work was done In tho

at the scene of the smashing. Watchman
Connors was close behind him
"When wo arrived," said Hoyles, "thd
crowd cried, '.Mob thorn! 'Hang them!'
'Hum thorn!' 1 arrested JJr. .Mitchell and
ltcv. F. V. Kmorson. They seemed to be
the loaders. When I got there they stopped
carrying out the beer. Dr. .Mitchell was
giving orders. All the crowd had white

IJr. Mitchell's and Itcv. Kmerson's hand
kerchiefs came off. 1 went to where they
wcro throwing out tho stuff and told them

son street and the shooting commenced. I
snot iwico in inn air. Aiiams was running
toward tho crowd when ho was shot. He
had a sledge and n Btcel bar In his hands.
He did not say a word when he fell."
Watchman Cnnnorn' story Is a corrobora-
Hon of that of Officer Hoylcs.
"When wc got Into tho yard Emerson
drew a revolver on me," said Connors
"When I tried to take It away from him
wo clinched and fell. Ho Is a mlRhty good
mnn. Ho had mo down on somo boxen nnd
i couldn't get up. During tho fuss someone
hit mo with n club twice nnd 1. was hit
onco on the shoulder with a hammer. Era
ereon got away from mo and Hoylcs got
him. Tho crowd started toward the street.
Adams was between tho crowd and tho
building and thirty feet from tho building
running toward tho crowd when he was
shot. Emerson stood on a little bnnk of
dirt and called upon the crowd tn rally.
Emerson stood thcro nnd fired his re
volver. My revolver was knocked from my
hand and I did not flro It."
Doctor Sot Anxloiin lit Tnlk.
Dr. Mitchell was seen at Illvcrslde hos
pital by a reporter this morning. He was
under arrest, but was caring for tho
wounded man, Adams. Asked about tho
affair of last night, he appeared very ret-
Icent nnd said-
Tho least said about It tho bettor. They
wcro unloading tho liquor all evening. Wo
followed tho wagon nnd they wero hauling
It In from tho Union Pacific tracks. They
had emptied ono enr and thcro Is another
still on tho track. It wns all beer."
Dr. Mitchell had little to say about
smashing, as ho did not wish to give any
Incriminating evidence. When nsked If ho
wns present when the smashing took place
he admitted that ho was.
"When tho officers came," Continued Dr.
Mitchell, "several shots' were fired. I do
not know who ilrcd ilrsl.- Hoth tho crowd
and tho officers fired. The crowd ran to
ward tho street and I called upon them to
rally. I was not tho first to reach Adams

Consideration of Congressman Merccr'i
letter In connection with u public library
here nnd thn' passage of an ordlnar.co pro
viding for the erection of n viaduct across
Thirty-sixth street were the features ol
last night's council meeting. All members
wcro preicnt and Adklns occupied the chair.
In connection with lite library matter the
council was honored by a visit from a com
mittee composed of Mrs. 0. L. Tnlbot, Mrs,
E. C. Lane, Mrs. J. H. VanDuscn, Mrs. J.
I). Jones, Miss Juno Slocumb nnd Mlus
Coo Hunt. Attorney J. A., Heck made tho
talk for the committee nnd explained that
some months ago Mr. Mercer wrote nun
In regard to Carnegie making a library do
nation to South Omaha. Ho said that the
mntter had Just been revived and that he
hoped tho council could see Its way cle.tr
to arrange for an appropriation of $5,000
a year for the maintenance of n library. Ho
asked for nn expression from tho members
of tho council In regard to tho mntter.
It was suggested by Mr. Heck that If the
valuation was raised to $2,600,000, lhat n 2
mill levy would bo sufficient to maintain
tho library.
Member Johtutun offered a resolution re
questing the legislature to so amend ihe
chnrtcr n to provide for a 2-mlll levy for
library purposes. Another resolution from
tho same source delegated tho chairman to
appoint a commlttco to go to Lincoln nnd
uvgo this change In tho chortcr. After ad
journment President Adklns named this
committee: F. A. Cressey, J. H. VanDuscn,
II. M. Christie, T. J. Nolan and J. F. Mc
Reynolds. Tho council appears lo bo heartily In favor
of tho plan and It Is understood Hint tho
Douglas county representatives In tho- leg
islature will be urged to amend tho charter
co that an annual appropriation can be
made for the maintenance of a library hi
cuso ono Is erected.
Owing to tho fact that some objections
had l)"en raised to tho Thirty-sixth street
viaduct ordinance as rcud at a former meet
ing nn entirely now ordinance wns Intro
duced nnd passed under a suspension of the
rules. Tho ordinance provides for n suitable
Bteel Ltructuro to extend along Thirty-sixth
street from A sticct on tho north to n,
point midway hetwoen C nnd D streets on
tho south. There wns no objection to the
ordinance In Its revised form, as the city
Is protected from nil damage and cannot,
under tho provisions, bo asked lo keep the
bridge In repair. It Is understood that
Mayor Kelly will sign the ordlnnnco today
anil that work will commence as soon after
March 1 as practicable.
Tho Chicago & Northwestern will' build
this bridge In order to procuro more track
ago room, nnd the structure, when com
pleted will cost about $75,000.
Councilman Miller had his fighting clothes
on nnd rendered adverse reports on three
smallpox claims and ono doctor bill. Man
ley McCarthy wantetl tho city to pay him
$175 for the use of his house, etc., and this
wob turned down. Tho Mary Nevlns' clulm
for $150 was nlso thrown out. Then came
a bill from Dr. Schlndel for treating Henry
Whetstone nt the time he was fatally In
Jured In a drunken fight on the Hellcvue
road. Hy unanimous consent this bill was
referred to the officials of Sarpy county.
Miller turned tn n. minority report on the
smallpox claim of John Watson. He rec
ommended that Watson be paid $25, but
the minority report offered by Johnston
raised tho amount to $50, nnd this carried.
John Wehner will be paid $30 for a broken
buggy caused by fire wagon No. 2 running
Into his vehicle whtlo on tho Q stroet via
duct. Wehner wanted $50, but Tralnor got
him to. cut down the claim.
