" The body of the man found dead Fri
day afternoon on the eouthern edge of
Omaha was ideotiled at the comer's
ufae as that of Major Jamas W.
Davis, a brother-in-law of George
FrancmTrain. The body was dieoover
ed a little after 12 o'clock, near the
' Union Peciac tracks, west of the Krug
breweryt between the Boulevard and
Summit bridges. It was that of an old
aan gray beard and" gray hair, who
ptoves to luu-e leen a government asset
inspector for the packing houses .of
South Omaha.
Itisanppoaedthat Major DaTis sue
cambed to an over dose of strychnine.
That drag he had been in the habit of
taking for a long time, as a nerve qaieter.
For some time be had been nervosa in
the extreme, and long ago had contract
ed the habit of taking strychnine. When
f oaad half baried in the clay, that the
rains had washed down from the hill
aides, he held a small bottle in his hand.
This phial was about half fnli of the
poison.
Since the desth some months ago of
George Francis Train and the eonse
quent'revival of the talk of unhappiness
in the married life of his sister and
Train, Major Davis has become more
taciturn than usual. Some weeks ago
Mrs. Susan Guluger, the only daaghter
of Train and a niece of Major Davis,
died, and since that time associates of
Major Davis at the offices say he has
hardly even passed the time of day, but
seemed gloomy and brooding.
The f aneral was held from the family
residence Sunday.
Another Sunset.
Sheriff Carrig has a man in custody
who he thinks may be James Kelley, the
sapposed murderer of the man Snowden,
alias Rogers, at Humphrey. A descrip
tion of Kelley was sent out by the sheriff,
with the offer of $500 reward for the
arrest and conviction. The description
came into the hands of the authorities
at David City and seemed to fit the case
of the man whom they had in jail at
that place. He was serving time for the
theft of some clothing, and was going
under the name of Jno. B. Benton. He
will be held to give an account of him
self and may be charged with the mur
der. Kelley was identiled by Sheriff
nauseam of Dodge county as being the
aan who was in the Fremont jail with
Soadea or Rogers last month. The
two others were with them and all
fear were released together. One of
the other men, by the name of William
Hart, has been re-arrested in Fremont
and is being held. Kelley would not
admit his identity to sheriff West of
Battler coantr, but the sheriff consid
ered that his resemblance to the pho
tograph was safficientjto justify him in
holding the suspected man until the
arrival of the sheriff and n man from
Fremont. Kelley's time in David
City had been served, his ton days
sentence expiring the day before.
Deputy Sheriff Lachnit accompanied
the Dodge county sheriff to David
City, and upon idenitfication of the
prisoner as Kelley, brought him to Co
lumbus. It was said at the sheriff's office to
day that in case Kelly is convicted of
the marder.the rewards offered will go
to sheiffi West of Buttler county and
sheriff Bauman of Dodgo.
The. imotographs of Kelly which
were sent out from the sheriff's office
here were made by f photographer
Saley. In leas than 24 hours after re
ceiving the picture of the man, 500
copies were completed. This record
could not be surpassed in J the
largest cities, and it has occasioned
much favorable comment in view of
the fact that the man wanted was ar
rested less than n week afterwards oa
the evidence furnished by the photo
graph. If the photo had not been in
the hands of the'Batler county sheriff,
Kelly woald have been released and
allowed to go his way.
Fire Counties Meet,
Dealers in farm implements from
five counties met in Columbus last
Thursday evening. There were about
M present, representing the counties
of Platte. Boone, Nance, Merrick and
Colfax. The meeting was presided
over by H. J. Bruning of Humphrey
and was held behind closed doors.
Matters of mutual interest were dhv
cussea xuiiy ana ways and means were
considered whereby the woes common
to implement dealers might be ameli
orated. Mr. A. W. Tidd was present
ting the interests of manufac-
Disappointment was expressed by
same members of the press that news
paper nam were not allowed in the
meeting. It was recognised, howerer
that implement dealers have the same
right to meet in executive session as
nay other business, professional or
pleasure society.
Lacal implement dealers say that
trade this spring has been consider
ably below that of the last year. They
attribute this to the backward spring
iasome degree, but chiefly to the
fact that the Platte bridge waa im-
fer six weeks right nt the
farmers are buying their
for spring farming. Co
lumbus has n large trade from south
of the Platte, and this was largely
turned to the dealers on the other
side of the river.
