of Sarpy Mills park, had Wn buying
land in the vicinity of the park for some
weeks for P. E. Iler of Omaha. In

While Mr. Mallander positively refused
to talk about the matter, he did not deny

Farmers who have soid declare that the
transactions have been carried . on with
the utmost secrecy. Tho understanding
la that Mr. Her has been buying for
the Omaha-Llnco'.n Electrlo Suburban
Railroad company. Some of the farmers
In the vicinity of Sarpy Mills have sold
their property to good advantage, receiv
ing aa high as $1.15 an acre. It ia certain
that Mallander has secured for Mr. Iler
500 acres and it is reported that he Is
after more. Those who seem to be on the
Inside, however, declare that this Is about
all of the land the electric railroad com
pany will want. Surveyors have been at
work In the vicinity of Sarpy Mills for a
long time and from stakes set it la In
feired that car barns, machine shops, etc.,
will be constructed on the ground already
secured.
VICIOUS STALLION NOT HERE
Gleaaoa Will Have to Give Special
Show to Tamo the Schuyler
Horse.
The largest of constantly Increasing
crowds greeted l'rof. O. R. Olenson, the
horse trainer, at the Auditorium laat night
It was disappointed in not seeing him at
tempt to aubdue Bismarck, the Schuyler,
Neb., stallion. Telegrams from Lew Fow
ler to the effect that ho could not possibly
bring tho hor.o to Omaha before Sunday
morning were rend and the announcement
made that a special exhibition will be
given Monday night for the purpose of
matching the professor against the ani
mal with the Teutonic appellation. It Is
given out that the horse is genuinely bad
and capable of a temper and vlclousness
that make him seem absolutely possessed
with the desire to kill whoever tries to
handle him. The engagement at the Au
ditorium Is prolonged one night for the
special show.
"The most difficult thing Oleason lii" last
night, apparently, was to take the anxiety
to kick out of a smart looking bay gelding
from the Gllssman stock farm. The horse
proved itself a real fighter and nof even
patent harness and clever bits and three
men hanging onto him could prevent hla
struggling as long as he had the strength.
After .about twenty minutes' work tho ani
mal gave in and was driven around the
ling with a trio of bass drum, tin pans
and cymbals banged under his nose. The
professor said another lesson would be
necessary before he was cured.
Other animals, riding and driving, were
made good by first carefully securing them
ao they could do no damage, then subject
ing them to extreme fright and tutelage
under the skilled hand of the professor.
Firecrackers, newspaper showers and puf
fing automobiles were used to scare horsea
and gradually the animals became ac
customed to the torture until they found
there was nothing to harm them. The
spectators are allowed to group closely
round the arena without the protection of
l fence or any kind of obstacle and-It Is
Slfflcult to say how bad an affair might
occur should a strap break or part of the
gearing go wrong while the horsea are In
the throes of terror. As long as the har
ness holds tho crowd enjoys the catastro.
phe that almost, but never quite, happens.

DANIELS DIDN'T STAMPEDE
German Resident Araraes Two Foot
pads Oat of Their Effort to
Rob Him,
When two young men pointed a gun at
Thlllp Daniels of 218 South Twelfth street
last night and told him to throw up his
hands, they were considerably surprised
by Daniels wanting to argue the mntter
with them end naked why he should throw
up his hands. Daniels Is a German, and
told the police he noticed one of the rr.en
had "a Mddle somedlngs" la hls hand. But
though ho Inter learned tho "ifddle some
dings" was a gun. It did not frighten him
In the lesst. He told the men they were
doing wrong, and advised them to give up
their evil ways and get to honest work.
Once more they commanded him to throw
up his hands, but Daniels said he was an
American citizen, and It was his duty to
hand auch characters over to the police,
but seeing they were young men ho would
be lenient with them and let them go.
The men were so dumbfounded at the talk
that they finally !et him go, but In depart
ing he with the ' llddle someding" hit
Daniels over the head, inflicting a scalp
wound. Daniels replied by nearly break
ing a stovepipe over his assailant's neck
and shoulders. He said he was sorry after
wards, as he thought It would have been
Just as easy to have tripped him and sat
on his head until the police came.
"But I got mad," he said In explanation.
Tho men got away.
STREET REPAIRS FOR WINTER

Councilman Back has started a move
ment In the council to have all repairs
necessary to asphalt pavements made be
fore the winter sets In. Back points out
that many cavities have been worn since
the general repairs were made In the
summer and he believes considerable sav
ing would bo effected and a great deal
of convenience Insured by having addi
tional repairs made. The city expects to
have Its own asphalt repair plant Installed
In the spring and the repair question
permanently settled then in this way.
Whether a new contract will be made or
the work done by Contractor Grant under
the old figures, has not been determined.

from Martha to Vinton and the stub ends
of several other streets north of the tracks
to the Burlington and Union Pacific rail
ways for the extension of their yards.
He is not satisfied with the deal because
It gives away property that tho ordinary
citizen would have to have appraised and
purchased In competitive sale if he wanted
It. The proposition does not strike tho
mayor as fair and he proposes to go Into
the matter thoroughly before deciding

GENERAL AFFAIRS' IN RUSSIA
Ambassador McConnick Ta'.ks of Conditions

LITTLE EXTERNAL EVIDENCE OF WAR
Conflict is Jlot Serlonsly Affecting
Finances of Trade C'onde.ce
In Government la
Complete.
PARIS, Oct. 15.-Mr. McConnick. the
American ambassador at tit. Petersburg,
sailed from Cherbourg for New York on
the steamer Deutgchland today. Before
his departure Mr. McCormlck talked with
a representative of the Associated Press
concerning the general conditions In Rus.
sin. He said:
"It Is difficult for nro'ono not living In
Russia to realize the complete calm pre
vailing, notwithstanding tho tremendous
struggle In which Russia is engaged. St.
Petersburg has the same outward appear
unce as before the war. There is the same
social gaiety, and theaters, enfos and other
public resorts are flourishing, business Is
going on as usual and the people don't
show any deep anxiety as to the progress
or results of tho war. I made a trip Into
the Interior, where there was the fume
calm and absence of excitement. Here and
there I saw those tragic Incidents of war
faremothers and wives weeping Vs sons
and husbands were dropping In the fight.
But there Is no complaining, as the sim
ple devotion of the people to their country
leads them to be willing to give up mem
bers of the family to the cause. This calm
Is the complrta cunildence of the people
In the government. There are some ele
ments of agitation and opponltlon In Rus
sia as In other countries, but the great
bulk of people are devotedly loyal to tho
emperor and government and they have
implicit confidence that the ruling powers
will take the steps necessary to bring the
war to a successful conclusion. Therefore
the early Japanese successes were ac
cepted as mere Incidents of a slowly ma
turing plan whereby the Russian arms
would eventually become triumphant."
Economic Conditions Kot Affected.
Asked concerning Russia's economic con
ditions, the ambassador said:
"I see no evidence that the war Is seri
ously affecting Russia's trade, business or
finances. The war naturally disarranges
and depresses some lines of business, but
thla condition prevails no more In Russia
than it did in England during the Boer
war. There is no widespread depression and
nothing like a panicky sentiment. Rus
sian finances seem equal to all present and
other requirements. The status of the
latest Issue of Russian bonds shows this.
Beginning .at par they rapidly advanced,
despite the early discouragements of the
war, until they reached 521 last Wednes
day. These bonds are largely field In the
foreign markets, so the steady advance
not only Indicates Russian optimism, but
reflects the opinion of financiers In the
great money markets of the world. With
auch credit prevailing Russia Is not likely
to lack ample slnewa of war."
Asked relative to tne rumors of Internal
troubles in Russia Ambassador McCormlck
said he had not observed any Indications of
unrest or agitation. Once in a while there
was some local disorder without signifi
cance which the foreign opponents of Rus
sia magnified Into a genera.! movement1,
whereas no such movement existed.
Appointment of Mlrkky.
"The appointment of Prinoe 8vlatopolk
Mlrsky as minister of the Interior in suc
cession to M. von Plehve," said Mr. Mc
Cormlck, ".promises to exercise an Im
portant Influence on Russian affairs, mainly
toward moderating the severity of old Rus

sian traditions. I had a long conversation
with the new minister and wss impressed
with the force of his Character and the
liberality of his views. The choice of a
man of such liberal tendencies Is evidence
of the emperor's desire to overcome the re
straints; of tradition and to give practical
effect to a modern, enlightened policy."
Mr. McCormlck expressed satisfaction
with the recent action of the Russian gov
ernment in referring the Amerlcrn com
munication relative to Jews to a commis
sion which was studying the subject. This
was chiefly Important a being a conces
sion from the traditional policy whereby
Russia did not consider fwelgn observa
tions relative to internal conditions.
Speaking generally, the ambassador said
the relations between the United States
and Russia continue more satisfactory.
The various minor Incidents which had
arisen Incident to the war had been ad
Justed, and ho added that the Russian au
thorities are always showing the most sin
cere desire to preserve the traditional
friendship with North America.'
Mr. McCormlck will go to Washington to
report to the president and Secretary Hay
and later will visit Chicago.
HORSE WRANGLER'S HARD LUCK
Balked in I.ove by a Senorltn and
Thwarted In Revenue by n
. Policeman. ,
Fate seems to be against William Hall
man, a Mexican, better known in the lnnd
of ttie Aztecs as "Bill the Cowboy." Hall
mnn hn been fined $15 and costs In police
court, where he was arraigned on the
charge of inhuman treatment of dumb anl
mnls. Hallmnn wns arrested Friday ' afternoon
by Officer Sandstrom after an exciting chase
of nearly n mile. The Mexican was trying
to break a Wyoming pony he bought nt
the South Oniahn stock yards Thursday
afternoon after having recognized the nnl
mnl ns the one that knocked his left eye
on a Wyoming ranch several months ago.
Ever since the accident the feeling of re
venge rankled In the bosom of the cowboy
and Just when he thought he was squaring
himself with a cruel fate he was taken to
the city bastlle on the charge mentioned.
And besides being frustrated In an en
deavor to satiate his cowboy Instinct he
will suffer the humiliation of working out
his fine at the city Jail by caring for tho
pony In the case with other horses In tho
patrol barn. The authorities have per
mitted Hallman's pony to remain nt the
police station until the prisoner shall liavo
served out his Judicial debt.
Hallman's story Is one of those that
shows truth to be stranger than fiction.
Last June he left his native town In Mex
ico, a victim of unrequited love. With a
vague Idea of winning fame and fortune In
tho states as a cowboy and horse tamer
and returning to claim his senorita, he
finally drifted to the Circle Dot ranch In
Wyoming, where. In on anguarded moment,
he sustained the loss of his left eye through
being kicked by a fractious outlaw pony.
A few days before the opening of the
Ak-Sar-Ben street fair Hallmnn came to
South Omaha with a shipment of stock
and successfully sought employment In the
Wild West show at the carnival grounds.
After the street fair had closed he was
wandering about the stock yards, waiting
for something to turn up, when he noticed
the pony that had kicked out his eye. It
was the moment Of his life, he thought.
After some dickering he managed to get the
pony and a second-hand saddle for $70,
nearly all the- money he had. It would
be worth twice the money, he thought, to
break the pony that had marked aim for
life.
The breaking process was going on Fri
day afternoon near Ninth and Capitol
avenue, when Patrolman Sandstrom came
along and took exceptions to Hallmin's
treatment of the animal. The Mexican
was being held at the patrol box by a by

and tried to make his escape. The police

finally catching him In a coal yard at Thir
teenth nd Webster streets.
Hallmnn and the pony are now at the

served in the fine "imposed, but Hallman
maintains he will yet convince he animal
he plsyed foul when he knocked hla ina
ter'a eye out rn Wyoming last June.
B0ESEN GETS ANOTHER VERDICT
Plaintiff Aaaln Wins from Street
Railway Company In Lower
Conrt.
Probably the most hotly contested dam
age suit against the street railway com
pany ever In the courts of Douglas county
resulted yesterday in a verdict for the
plaintiff of $4.noo. The Case Is Boefen
against the Omaha Street Railway com
pany and Judge Fstelle has been busy with
It all week until Friday noon, when It went
to the Jury. This morning the Jurors came
In with a verdict. The attorneys for the
defendant will file a motion for a rehear
ing and If this Is denied will very probably
go to the supreme court.
The determination of both parties Is
shown by the fact the case has had six
trials and has been once to the supreme
court. Considerable bitterness has been
aroused and allegations have been made on
both sldps. Bribery has been spoken of
and It has been said the company Is mnk
tng the fight more to discourage damage
suite; than with a hope of winning.
Three times the Juries have disagreed
and three times they have returned a ver
dict for the plaintiff. The result of tho
third trial was a compromise verdict for
11,120. The street railway company went
up on error to the supreme court ana the
Judgment vol reversed, the court finding
one of the Instructions of the lower Judge
Incorrect. The fourth trial gave Boeaen a
verdict of $4,Go0, but Judge Estelle set this
aside because of an erroneous Instruction.
The original verdict In this suit was the
first gained from the street car company
In five years.
AH of this litigation came from an acci
dent In South Omaha July 15, 1P99. Bocsen
was riding on a car which ran off the track
and was thrown to the paVement, causing
him Injuries which he thought entitled him i
to damages from the company. Suit was
begun the following December.
Grand Irtnl Man is Held.
