PRIETOR WRITES OF TRIP.
104 MILLIONAIRES ON THE TRAIN
These Bond Holders , Together With
Nebraska's Secretary of State and
the Norfolk Newspaper Man , are
Having a Great Time Out of Snow ,
On Board the Kansas City , Mexico
and Orient Special Tialn , Out of
Wnco , Texas , Sunday Morning , Jan.
11. From a staff correspondent : A
great bunch of Id I millionaires , ono
secretary of state and one noxvspaper
man left Kansas City at noon yester
day for the City of Mexico , xvhere wo
are scheduled to arrive Tuesday noon.
The train consists of nine as elegant
coaches us ever ran on xvhcols , Includ
ing bulfet , dining and observation
cars and five sleepers. The train ent
ries every necessity and luxury that
could be provided and the aforesaid
millionaires , secretary of state and
other haxe placed the stamp of ap
proval upon the arraugemeiils and ap
pointments. Nothing can bo xvanted
that the train Is not ready to supply
on call , from n shave In the barber
shop to a drink of mineral water in
the buffet. The trip is absolutely free
to the guests , except the btiffeL It Is
said that on former trips of this kind ,
xvben Burnham , Bear and Matthcxv-
son were passengers there xvoro no
charges even In that attractive depart
ment , but this time things are diff
erent and a jag or a smoke represent
a money consideration. Some people
nlxvays xvere more lucky than others.
The scrawls with xvhlch I am disgrac
ing thu name of penmanship In tills
epistle , I insUt shall be attributed to
the roll of the car on this Texas truck
and not to a jag.
Proprietors Have Charge.
The train Is in charge of the pro
prietors of the Kansas City , Mexico
and Orient railroad , which it is pro
posed to build from Kansas City to
Topolobampo bay on the Gulf of Cal
ifornia in the state of Slnnlon , Mexico.
Accompanying the trip are A. li. Still-
well , president ; 13. Dickinson , vice
president and general manager : M
V. Watson , vice president ; W. W. Syl
vester , vice president. These gentle
men are hero to shoxv their guests a
good time and the proposition , and
the outlook at the start Is that they
xvill do both successfully. Mr. Still-
xvell gives a little talk dally in the ob
servation car explaining the vast re
sources of the country , present and
prospective , through which xve are
passing.
The party is composed of capitalists
from Missouri , Noxv York , Pennsylva
nia , Washington , D. C. , Wisconsin ,
Colorado , Indiana , Illinois , Kansas ,
Michigan , Ohio and Nebraska. . Ohio
has the largest delegation with forty-
three. Nebinska has seven , G. L.

braska City , D. ( ! . Gates Albion , F. P.
Sheldon Nehaxvka , Geo. B. Bell of
Grand Island , A. Galusha , secretary of
state , Lincoln , and W. N. Huse. 13. C.
Harris of Chadron cnmo to Kansas
City but xvas obliged to return on ac
count of business and his absence
proved a genuine disappointment to
Nebraskans.
The train left Kansas City yester
day noon over the M. K. & T. , which
xve"xvill folloxv to San Antonio , Texas ,
which xvo xvill reach at 4 o'clock this
afternoon. There the train is
sxvitched to the track of the Subna-
tional and Great Northern to Colorado ,
when xve enter Mexlcon soli , and go
over the Mexican National to the City
of Mexico.
Into Indian Territory.
Leaving the snoxv and chilly atmos
phere at Kansas City , the train struck
a bee line south , passing through the
oil and gas belts of eastern Kansas
The train makes no stops except to
change engines and the result Is xve
are disappearing from the north at
the rate of10 to 50 miles an hour.
About dusk last night xvo reached Par
sons , Kan. , which Is an ambitious city ,
and ten minutes later we xvero on our
"way and shortly slid over into Indian
Territory. The sun did not seem to
be scheduled right yesterday for us
to see anything of the territory xvhlch
is now kicking up so much commotion
in congress.
Balmy Texas , Great State.
This morning the train xvas clipping
off the miles through the cotton fields
of Texas. The sun was shining in
glorious splendor , the atmosphere Is
s-ott and balmy like a spring morning
and the green of the winter xvheat and
blue grass lend additional enchant-
men to the scene. Texas is a great state
and from the glimpse wo get of the
toxvns as wo sxvlsh through them it is
a prosperous ono as xvell. It noxv only
groxvs cotton , but corn , xvheat , oats ,
fruit and cattle , and the cotton gins ,
cotton bced oil plants and great xvoll-
filled cotton sheds , the immense ele
vators and extensive stock loading
A. yards at the toxvns testify that it is a
state of vast productiveness. All the
morning wo have been passing farm
houses not dissimilar to those In Ne
braska , except for the outside chim-
noys , which are distinctively southen
and charming. Many of the gooi
homes are only ono story high , indlcat
Ing that they are dodging the cyclone
which occasionally sxvcop across thes
broad prairies.
802 Miles Into Mexico.
At 10 o'clock tonight , xvhen wo cros
the Hlo Grande at Laredo and onto
Mexico , xve xvill have traveled 1,00
miles from Kansas City , and 802 mile
are to bo traveled to reach the City o

which xvlll require that 2,1 OS miles he

all right. W. N. 11.

EXHAUST FREMONT MURDER CASE
Body of Man Mysteriously Murdered
Was Burled Today.
The body of the Booze farm murder
victim was taken to Cedar Bluffs yes-
onlay and will be buried in the ceme-
cry there at the expense of Saunders
county residents today , says a Fre-
nont report. Some of the farmers
who believed the dead man to beThad
Browning raised a fund with which to
neet the cost of a funeral.
After two weeks' work on the case
Sheriff Bauman announced this morn-
ng that he Is practically without n
clue and the mystery is as deep as it
ever was. He has followed every
theory that has been given him till he
assured himself it would lead to noth
ing tangible. What was believed to
be the most likely clue related to the
three men who were seen to drive
south on Main street at midnight.
The movement of this outfit It was be
lieved had been followed to the vicin
ity of Ashland. Now nil this has col
lapsed with the statement of Broder
Hanson yesterday that ho was misun
derstood when he told of seeing the
men and team at Yutan. He says now
it was on the Friday afternoon preced
ing the murder that the men were In
his saloon and they left there to drive
to Ashland instead of to Fremont as
had boon the understanding.
Probably twenty-five persons who
have missed relatives or friends lately
came to Fremont last week to look at
the body of tlio murdered man. Half
a do/en wore added yesterday , which
was the last day that the corpse was
shown here. A young man from St.
Edward came with the story that his
In-other left homo shortly before
Christmas taking $180 with him , and
bad not returned. Fred Johnson came
from Hello Fourcho , S. D. , to ascertain
whether the dead man was his missing
brother. Nels A. Tuveson , P. W.
Plot-sou and John Wallen of Weston
came last evening to ascertain wheth
er the body was that of a farm hand
who mysteriously disappeared from
the vicinity of that town. All failed
In Identification.
What could be nicer for a Christmas
gift to a young man or young lady
than beautifully engraved cards ?
