Police Court Releases.
By order of the Flra and Police board
the police have been directed not to re
lease any prisoners on an order signed by
, Judge King unless the arresting officer is
. positive that the fine Imposed has been
paid in full. This order was brought about
by a resolution Introduced at Friday night's
meeting of the board by Mr. Nolan.
In speaking of the order Judge King said
to a Bee reporter yesterday: "I am on the
bench and try to attend to my awn busi
ness. I dd not interfere with the affairs
of Tommy Nolan or any other member of
the Police board. Nolan has no business In
police court, neither have any of tha com
missioners. As Judge, ! am under bond,
and If I sign an order for tha release of a
v prisoner It Is not my duty to permit the
. erresttng officer, or even any of tha cdm
sioners, to Inspect the court records to see
If a fine Is paid In full. In fact. It Is none
of their business. In case an error la made
on my part there Is recourse on my bond.
I want to sny right here that the Police
' bonrd has nothing to do with ma and will
not dlotate the manner' In which I shall
conduct the affairs of my office. Of course,
the beard can Instruct the police to do
certain things, and If these orders are not
obeyed, '.off wilt ' go' the policeman's
i'thead. If the board or tha.polloa disobey
the law they will have to suffer. ' Neither
Jhe police nor the board are abova the
'law!"'
An attorney who formerly ocoupled a po
sition under the administration said that In
the: event that the police refused to recog
nise a release signed by Judge King, habeas
corpus proceedings would ba lnatltuted. In
the event that the prisoner succeeded In
gaining his liberty the city would hava to
pay the costs and expense of the suit
When this was brought to the attention
of the douncll yesterday It waa declared
that If costs of this kind were taxed against
the city the money would b taken from
the allowance made the board for flra and
police purposes and not from tha .general
fund of the city.
May Prove Fatal.
City Physician Sapp reported yesterday
afternoon that the condition of Hiram
Sappo vil critical. There la scarcely any
hop of his recovery, said th dootor, un
less there 1 a change for th better
within th next few hour. Bappo and Sam
Tucker engaged In a row at Twenty
soventh and li street Saturday morning
and the reault waa that Tucker stabbed
Sappo veral times. Whll th wounds
were not considered dangerous at th time,
th warm weather seem to hav a bad
. effect on the patient and now It seems as
if his recovery Is doubtful.
. Chief Briggs and Detective Elsfelder have
been working on the case, but hav not
learned much about the fight, or what
started It. They are sur of on thing, and
thla Is, Tucker mad his escape. A thor
ough search of all resort llabl ta b vis
ited by Tucker was mad yesterday and the
police sr now confident that Tucker got
out of the city on on of th early morning
meat train.
Chief BiiSK Is preparing a description
of Tucker to be sent to nearby towns, but
hs has Uttle hop of capturing th fugitive.

Biff Day at Kg Park.
If yesterday Is any criterion, Saturday Is
growing to be almost aa big a day as Sun
day In tha eves of ths box office man at
Kru Park. Yesterday tha attendance was
phenomenal for a week day, and as th
crowd was composed largely of women and
children th assertion that the place 1 a
genuine family resort Is well made. Many
mothers brought their children and lunches
and enjoyed th afternoon' recreation
mightily. The switch-back, as usual,
proved a great delight to both the children
and the older patrons and the concert by
Huster's band held a big audience In rapt
attention during Its performance. Owing to
Its altitude and aituatlon on th crest of a
hill Krug Park seems to draw all the cool
breesea that float In the sweet-smelling
country to the northwest of Omaha, and
yesterday afternoon proved no exception to
the rule.

BURNING OF ESCOFFEY'S RANCH
Incident of the "60s Near Fort Laramie
Fight Between Desperadoes
and Soldiers.
On July 4, 1ST7, Sergeant Manning and
Corporal Terrell of the Second United
State cavalry, with two member of th
Eighteenth United States Infantry, re
ceived passes from the commander of th
post at Fort Laramie, Colonel Innls L.
Palmer, to go to the ranch owned and
operated by Jules and Marcus ' Escoffey,
five miles below th fort for a day's out
ing. Th only liquor then permitted to be
sold In the vicinity of Fort Laramie was
at this ranch, yet at th same time it was
strictly enjoined upon the ranch proprietors
to sell no liquor to either soldiers or In
dians. This restriction did not apply to
civilians.
When- th quartet of soldiers reached ths
ranch they found there several desperadoes
and read agents, and among them - Bob
Lee and George Rlptoe, a pair of as dan
gerous and desperate characters as ever
frequented th plains. They both" were
members of Quantrell's gang that a few
years previous had raided and committed
th massacre at Lawrence, Kan., and they
always prided themselves upon their In
veterate hatred of th "blue bellies," or
Tankee soldiers. Tha soldiers were wear
ing their uniforms, and a quarrel shortly
thereafter ensued between Lee and the
soldiers, and though the soldiers were un
armed, Le and Rlptoe opened fir on the
boys, Instantly killing) Corporal Terrell and
severely Wounding on of the Eighteenth
boys. Th Escoffey managed to secret
the other two soldiers In a protected part
of the ranch.'
Sergeant Manning managed to escape out
of the rear window ot the ranch and hur
riedly bridling a pony belonging to the
Escoffey s, he rod back to th fort, un
observed by th desperadoes. He met a
watering party of the Second cavalry
short distance from the post, and told them
of th attack and of th murder of Tar
roll. Tho detachment comprised about
forty men, all armed, and under command
of th officer in charge the party started
for th ranch on the gallop. In th mean'
whll a courier had been sent back to th
fort for tha ambulance. Nearlng th ranch
tha party deployed, surrounding th ranch,
and demanded the surrender of th des
peradoes. They replied with a volley of
pistol shots, and forcing th door of the
ranch defied capture. The officer In com
mand ordered th Escoffey to com -ut
of th ranch and bring with them the
wounded soldier. There being no other re
course they obeyed, leaving the desperadoes
Inside th ranch with th dead Terrell,
Th assault on tha stout adobe and log
ranch began at once, and whll a detach
ment covered the window and doors with
their carbines to prevent any coup from
th desperadoes Inside, another detail gath
ered a lot of sag brush and hay, piled It
up alongside th door and set fir to It
It was but a moment until the doors were
In a blase, and th desperadoes called out
inai iney wouia surrender. They were
ordered to bring the body of Terrell outside,
which they did. The ambulance arrived
In th meanwhile and Terrell' body and
th wounded Eighteenth man were placed
In It Manning recognised Le a th man
who killed Terrell, with Rlptoe as his lm
mediate accomplice. Th two were or
dered to step to on Bid and th three
other desperadoes were plaoed under guard.
Th fir had In th meanwhile worked to
th Inside of tho ranch and It waa speedily
consumed, with all Its contents.
Th Escoffey protested against th de
struction of their property, but th sol
dlers were In no mood to temporise and 'he
ranch was permitted to burn.
Ths three desperadoes whom It was as
certalned were not actually engaged In
ths assault on the soldier at th outset
were told to mount their animals and leave
th country Instanter, and they quickly
availed of the opportunity. The command
then proceeded on Its return to Fort Lara
mie, taking Lea and Rlptoe with them.
Th two murderer wer mounted on their
ponies, but no precaution had been taken
toward tying them to prevent their escape.
Just before reaching th Laramie river
bridge Le and Rlptoe turned their horses
and started on th run for th hill to
th south. Twenty men wer. Instantly In
pursuit snd they were ordered to fir on
th fugitives. Ther were several good
shots among ths soldiers and the chase had
not continued a mile before both men
wer shot dead from their horses, and their
bodies were left Us as food for ths wolves
whers they fell.
The Eseoffeys later brought suit against
the government for ths destruction of their
rsnch. Th hearing was had In Omaha
before a board ot Inquiry under orders of
ths then Department of th. Platte, and
the Eeeofleys were awarded 30,000 for the
loss ot their property. 5. & P.

CRITICISE COMMERCIAL CLUB
smbers of Musical In Ion Declarelt
Inconsistent In Employing; .
Mllttary Band.
Members of the Musical union are criti
cising In very emphatic and pointed words
ths action of the Commerolal club in taking-
with It on its trip through Iowa and
northern Missouri last week ths Twenty
second Infantry band. This Is not the first
time ths Commercial club has taken this
band, or other nonunion bands, on similar
trips through Nebraska, members of ths
union state, but after a protest filed about
a year ago they were given to understand
that hereafter only union bands would be
employed.
Ons active member of the Musical union,
In speaking of ths matter yesterday, de
clared that the Commercial club has for
years failed to practice what It preaches
that the jobbers and other members of it
are constantly talking about patronising
Omaha, and how much more prosperous ths
city would be if all the retailers in Ne
braska would buy from Omaha factories
and wholesale houses, and if consumers
would Insist on having Omaha made goods.
But the club has never endorsed ths union
label or tried to have It on all home-made
products, he said, and has constantly run
a "scab" restaurant But patronizing a
military band In preference to one of the
Omaha bands was. In the speaker's opinion,
even worse than employing nonunion cooks
and waiters, for the band is support el and
paid by general taxes, of which every cltl-
sen pays more or less, and is not in any
way dependent on private patronage. If
ths ''"home patronage" idea was strictly
carried out Omaha would have better
bands, hs declared, than It has today, but
If the choice engagements are given to mil
itary bands snd ths local bands are not
supported or encouraged they cannot reach
the position for which, thsy are striving.
Several years ago ths former leader of a
prominent Omaha band, who has now re
tired from ths business, stated, the mat
ter was taken up In Washington, or, rather
ths union musicians tried to have it taken
up. Another effort In the same direction
will very probably be made, and Omaha
may take the Initiative In the movement.
If It does congress will be asked to pass
a law prohibiting the Marine band at
Washington, or any military band, from
playing for private Individuals or oganl
satlons for pay.
BEAUTIFUL DUNDEE IN A BOOK
Souvenir of tho Pretty Suburb is Full
of rino Views of Hand
some Homes.
Ths people of Dundee, "Omaha's most
beautiful residence suburb," as they say
on the title psge, have Issued a booklet of
nhntAmnh. flf th hflTTlPB and instltU-
tlons of the village, together with some
pointed comment as to ths especial ad-
vantages to be gained by residency there.
Altogether more than thirty half-tons en
gravings of well-built and verdure em
bowered dwellings are shown, and the con
clusion must bs drawn that the people of
Dundee are entirely Justified In making
ths exhibit. The brochure is well gotten
up snd arranged and this Is the equation
at ths 'end: "Dundee gas, water, low
taxes, no saloons, electric lights, pure,
clear air, best of schools, cement side
walks, uniform shade trees, good church
facilities, large Sunday schools,' reached
by Omaha's best car line." The object,
evidently, Is to show that Dundee has all
ths sood things to bs found In a metropolis
without Inevitable bad features. One thing
the book proves conclusively, and that is
that many thousands of dollars are In
vested In sumptuous, residences In ths
suburb.

RACE WAR RAGES ON DESERT!
Bloody Battle Oocnn Between Japanese and

FOUR KILLED AND FIFTY WOUNDED

tow, Calircrala.
LOS ANGKLFfl, July ll.-A bloody battls
between 160 Japanese and ths same number
of Mexicans has been raging five days on
the desert between Barstow and Vlotor
vllla. Four are reported dead and about
fifty wounded, and ths end of ths struggls
Is not In sight.
The combatants are all employed by ths
Santa Fe railroad, laying new rails, and
the company Has been forced to suspend
operations lr. that section.
The Japanese and ths Mexicans had been
working peaceably side by side for soms
tims, .but on Monday a Japanese mads an
Insulting remark about a Mexican and ths
fight began. When ths two workmen earns
to blows, sides were quickly formed and
battle lines were drawn.
Picks and Boulders as Weapons.
Tools used In railroad building and
boulders from ths bottoms of ths Mojavs
river were the weapons, and In a fsw min
utes many heads were cracked. Ths
Japanese were finally driven across ths
river amid showers of stones, almost as ef
fective as bullets, their leader remaining
In the front to the last.
Both sides entranched themselves behind
piles of sand and many sallies have been
made since. Ths attacking fores has in
variably been repulsed. Two men were
killed Friday, when the Japaness earth
works wers stormed by ths Mexicans.
Tha foreman Is making avsry effort to
patch up a trues, but ths men seem de
termined to light while any are left, and
It may be necessary to call out ths stats
troops to quell the fighters.
Mexicans all over the section are develop
ing a fierce hatred of the Japaness because
ths latter are supplanting ths Mexicans In
many kinds of work, demanding less wages,
as a rule, but giving better satisfaction.
SERGEANT COOK MAKES RAID
Captures an Entire Inarm of Boos
Which Invaded City Jail
Yard.
Sergtant Cook met with considerable re
sidence yesterday in making an arrest, but
cams out of the difficulty with his prison
ers and has not a scratch to show for It.
The cause ot the trouble was a targe and
j healthy swarm of bees which broks ths
; city oruinance uy umui u.. ... ...
, the vicinity ot the city Jail. Ths swarm had
no Sooner augnieu un v-iw vi
which adorn the Jail yard than plans wers !
laid for their capturs. The first attack was
made by Tatrol Driver Wilson, who claims
to know a bee better than hs knows his
own family. He advanced from ths lss aids
of tho station armed with a rope and a
stopladler, also a box In which to Imprison .
the festive stingers. Hs hsd operated but a
short timo when the word was passed along j
the line that his method was a failure snd
he was dragged from ths attack.
Sergeant Cook, as officer of ths day, then
pressed several urchins who wers out to see
the fun Into service. Ons of them hs dis-
patched up the stepladder to hold ths bos
under the swarm while hs brushed ths bees
Into It. He snd his cohorts wrs repulsed
with slight Injuries. A council of war was
then engaged In on ths south slds of ths
! Jail and It was arranged to make an attack
In force. All members or ths night jail
shift were pressed Into service, snd ths
sortie which resulted was successful. Ths
bees were housed for ths night In a box
alongsldo ths Jail with sn old blankat
thrown over them to prevent their taking
cold. Sergeant Cook as master of cere
monies claims ths entire result of ths
operations and hs Is now walking about
with his thumbs thrust through his sus
penders, telling every one who will take
time to listen to him how he Is going to
start a bes farm next spring.
