AFTER TOM MURRAY'S ' SCALP ,
An Intdieiting Suit Filed in the District
Court Yesterday ,
BACKING FOR HEAVY EXPORT.

111' Cause oT Justice 1'olico

They Found the Deed.
A suit Was commenced in the disl ric
court yesterday which once more
brings the notorious Tom Murray into
prominence as a litigant. The plaintiffs
are Mesdami-s Sarah Ellen Woodman ,
Josephine Jack and Nettle Kinna. They
euc to recover possession of a lot near
the corner of Seventeenth and Harnoy
trocts.
The story ot the petition Is an Interest
ing one. In 18l ( ! ( Eleanor McGovoran , at
that time a resident of Omaha , secured ,
for a trilling sum , possession of the piece
of property referred to , which may bo
definitely located as lot 11 in block 145.
Years thereafter she drifted out west ,
with her children , Sarah. Ellen and Net
tle , who are now married women In
Wyoming. In 188'J she was suddenly
taken 111 , and died almost before her
chlldien , who were by this time married
women , could realize that their
mother was sick. She left no
will , though It was known that she
possessed considerable properly here and
there. Search was made for the missing
testament high and low , but to no avail.
By the merest accident , however ,
in a search among some
old papers a few months ago
a title deed to the Omaha property was
found. The heirs immediately invcstis
catud the mutter and It now ileveloiie-t
that for nearly twenty years Tom Mur
ray has held tlio lot by no other rights than
those of n squatter. His success
in the squatting line is beyond cavil ,
when it is noted that for almost u quar
ter century ho has lived upon this par
ticular properly without his title thereto
being in question. J'hls suit is
brought to oust him , and it looks
as though Tom would have to go. The
people in the neighborhood of Seven
teenth and Harnoy are rejoiced at this
unexpected turn of affairs , for Murray
has made a practice of allowing this
property to bo occupied by the worst kind
of disorderly people. T'lie value of the
lot is now $15,000 or ? 20QOJ.
PACKING FOR EXI'OIIT ,
The Now KntcrprlHo of Ihonms J.
Ijljiton of I'JillnliurKli.
The UKE has already published the an
nouncement that the stock yards com
pany had entered into a contract with
Thomas J. Lipton of Edinburgh , Scot
land , to erect a packing house of mam-
mouth dimensions and proportionatn
capacity. This announcement has been
a source of pleasure to Omniums who
take an interest in the advancement of
the city. Jt has not been less conducive
of pleasure because the gentleman for
whom this house is ercetcifj is one whose
business interests have given him a name
in a brace of continents.
Mr. Lipton. for some time back has
been established in Chicago. There he
has packed and shipped pork with the
special view of satisfying a foreign trade ,
which belongs to him almost beyond the
possibility of coinpctitmii. In not less
than twenty four cities , in both England
and Scotland ; this gentleman com
mands the local trade in his
line , and this trade is such that
it requires packing accommodations of
more than average" capacity and merit.
Those ho has heretofore enjoyed in Chicago
cage have been unequal to the require
ments , and , accordingly , he has decided
to locate in Omaha where all his require
ments will be satisfied. His liouso at this
point will have a capacity of 2,000 hogti
per day. This is a capacity greater than
that of any house now established here ,
and will give employment to not
less than one hundred and fifty men.
The product of this house will be used
almost entirely to Supply Mr. Lipton's
foreign trade. This trade , as n rule , re
quires pork of a weight lighter than that
usually in demand , in that it can best bo
satisfied with hogs weighing from 150 to
200 pounds. Up to the present such ani
mals have not commanded the prices
in tins market which raisers
would like , and as a conse-
quorco more attention has been
paid to the raising of hogs
which greatly exceed that weight. Tills
will bo grateful news to our farmers , the
more so because it is Mr. Lipton's inten
tion to offer increased values for hogs of
Hie weight mentioned. Our raisers ,
therefore , instead of suffering a depreci
ation in price , will experience an appre
ciation m the market value of their
lighter raisings.
Many of the packing houses in the
cast are in operation onlv during cetrain
parts of the year. With Mr. Lipton ,
however , the case will be different. His
establishment , will bo run throughout the
year. Ho will , therefore , effect the es
tablishment of a market in which , at all
seasons , a rt-ady sale may be made.
This will bo of incalculable advantage to
raisers in this state , and those farther
west , as well as in Dakota and even
Missouri and Kansas.
Up to the present time no more prom
ising industry has boon established
In the 'city. ' It means an increase
of our population , the establish
ment of a permanent market , and I'm-
ully the entry to the place of other en
terprising capitalists and business men
whoso money and energy will jointly bo
utilized in advancing the interests of this
city. Air , Lipton deserves well from
people , and his energy and enterprise
will bo appreciated.

A IlICHUCHKT SHOT.
One Thnt Nenrly Cost a Soldier His
Mfc.
The first accident on the now depart
ment rifle range at Bellevue was reported
at army headquarters'yesterday. The
VictlinBthorcof was Private Flannigan , [ of
Company K , Fourth infantry.
Flannigan , it seem ? , was standing in
the pit before one of the targcls , prepar
ing to adjust It for a now series of shots.
1'ho pit was about four or five feet deep
and permitted Flannigan's shoulders lo
project a foot or so over the ground.
Private Sampson , of Company E , was
standing some live hundred yards away ,
In front of the same target , and not notic
ing that Hannigan was exposed , lired.
I no ball struck tie ! ground , and on a
rlchochct glanced upward and passed
through Flannigan's right shoulder. He
dropped apparently lifeless to the ground
and it was thought that ho had been
killed. Investigation , however , showed
that his injuries were of such a character
that with proper trout input ho will un
doubtedly recover. Ho has boon removed
to the barracks hospital.
The Lioynl Legion.
This evening at 0:10 : o'clock , on
excursion , consisting about thirty mem
bers of the Loyal Legion of Nebraska ,
will leave this city by way of the Missouri -
souri Pacific , for Ft. Leavcnworth , Kas.
They will bo present at the inauguration
of the legion in that state. This
bodj , is composed of ollicora
of the United States army
and navy , in the late war ,
who wore honorably discharged. It has
been instituted in a number of states , Ne
braska having organized a division some
time ago. Kansas is now following in
her wake , and has extended an invitation
to the legion In this state to be. present ,
with the above result. The institution in
tlio adjoining state will be at
tended with most imposing cere
monies and will take place in
the beautiful grounds of Fort Leaven-
worth , where distinguished soldiers from
all parts of the country will bo present.
General McCook will bo in charge of the
event and it is understood that he has
been so successful In making arrange
ments for the event that it will be worthy
of remembrance by all who attend

" In all my born days , " said a local
passenger agent for the Union Pacific
ycstcrbay , "I never [ saw such a rush
of passengers into Omaha. There was a
perfect stampede yesterday , and in
deed every morning for a week past. "
"How docs thathappeny"
"Well , the fame of tlio city is spreading
abroacl , anil people are coming in hero to
investigate for themselves , many of them
with a view of locating hero. Then there
arc others , hailing mostly from Iowa
towns , from Council Blulfs MS far cast as
Burlington , who come to Omaha simply
on a pleasure visit , stay here two or three
days and go homo. Travelling is cheap
now on account cf the cut rates , and
Omaha is reaping a rich harvest out of
it. "
There are no new developments in the
cut rate war. The lines leading
in the war continue the $3 rate to Omaha ,
and the other roads have met it , so that
the faro is the same over all routes. Local
railroad men decline to express an opin
ion as to how or when the war will
close.
Abandoned Her Child.
A case of cruel and unexplained deser
tion oc'ctirrcd on the Union Pacific pas
senger train , which arrived here .from
the west yesterday. A well dressed
womancarrying a child about one month
old , entered the train at Cozad yesterday
and upon reaching Plum Creek , she
left the chilli in charge of a lady passen
ger , saying she wanted to see sohie one
at the depot. The train soon started and
the women could not bo found. It soon
became apparent that it was a case of
nrcmcdtated dcsortion , and a telegram
was sent by to Plum Creek to have the
woman arrested. The deserted child
was loft at Grand Island in charge of a
policeman.
A Policeman Arrested.
Roundsman Mike Whalon arrested
Olllcer James Brady yesterdaya ; charge
of assault and battery preferred by Tim
Collins , a government teamster. Collins
claims that Brady struck him over the
head witli his club several times , on
Sunday night , without any provocation
whatever , Brady says that Collins who
appears to be a tough , was engaged in a
row at Kcssler's halland refused to obey
the command of the police to "move on , "
Ho finally grew obstreperous , made
an attack on the oilleers , which Brady
repelled by a vigorous use of his club.
A Successful Operation.
J. M. DcGralf , a loading merchant of
Oakland , la. , in a tussel with an escaped
convict , received a severe injury to ono
of his eyeballs , which threatened the
total destruction of that eye. Ho came
to Omaha ahd sought relief at the Omaha
Medical and Surgical institute. His eye
was operated upon by Dr. McMenamy
with such great success that almost from
thp first moment Mr. DcGralf was as
sured of regaining perfect eyesight. Ho
loft for homo yesterday with every pros-
poet of permanent recovery.

THE RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS ,
Something About an Intelligent and Indus
trious Glass of Beings.
The "Sixth Division" The Nebraska
Clerk * How the Mnll Is
"Worked" Rnplfl Slmf-
flliiB Other Details.
"Very few people , " said an old rail
way mall clerk In conversation with a
HKI : reporter last night , "have any idea
of the processes through which a letter
has to go before it is delivered. If the
merchant who opens his big batch of let
ters every morning , or the blushing
schoo1 girl who anxiously awaits the ar
rival of thu weekly or bi-weekly or tri
weekly love-freighted missive , could only
see something of these processes , I am
sure that their eyes would bo opened. "
In tin ; course of a further conversation
with the speaker the newspaper man
gained some interesting points concern
ing the railway mail service , which
branch plays the most important part in
the delivery of the millions of Iqtter.s and
papor.s posted dully till over tlfo country.
The United } Stales mail railway service
is divided up into a largo number of di
visions. Nebraska lies in the sixth di
vision , thu superintendent of which is
Cantab James E. White of Chicago.
Tlii division includes , besides this stale ,
Illinois , thu upper ponninsula of Mich
igan , Wisconsin , Minnesota , Iowa , Da
kota and Wyoming. The lines westward
from Omaha are In chargu of Chief
Clerk GrillU'ti , who has headquarters in
this city. His mail routes lie on the B. &
M. and the Union 1'acilio and branches ,
including the Oregon Short , line. Ho
has at present about 1-10 clerks under
him , divided pretty equally between the
Union Pacific and B. & M.
A mail clerk's duties on the whole are
not arduous. Ho is , to bo sure , obliged
to work hard whllu he does work , but his
days of labor include but half the 805.
He is .supposed to woik half the time
and lav oil1 the other half. Many of those
in the service work one week steadily ,
and then rest up the other week. Others
prefer to work every other day. The
average run is 800 miles , and the average
time of working is , say , about sixteen
hours. Frcmicntly , however , a mail
clerk is obliged to work 18 , 20 , 22 , or
oven 24 hours without retiring to the
bunk on which ho courts sweet repose.
Or , as often , after shuttling mail for 1C or
IS hours , he is allowed to lie down and
snatch three hours' sleep , then to jjivo
way to another work-wearied clerk.
Hail way mail clerks are divided into
three classes , according to their prolici-
oncy and the length of their connection
with tlie service. First giade clerks re
ceive $1,300 a year , second clerks , $1,100 ,
and third clerks $1,000.
To be a successful mail clerk one must
have a good memory , must be quick and
accurate , possessing , too , the ability to
keep his wits from wool gathering. The
average railway mail clerk has to rem
ember the names of about 0,000 postolliccs
in every part of the division in which ho
is working. Ho has a "scheme" or
reference chart close at hand so that ho
can refresh his memory when ho so do-
sires. The "old hand at the business , "
however , is beyond the necessity of re-
furring to the chart , so pat has ho every
town on the list.
The limited space will not permit
more than a pasbtngallusion to the duties
of the railway mail clerk. Each
mail car has , as a general thing , three
clerks , two of whom are known as the
first clerks , and attend to the distribution
of letters , while the third man handles
the papers. The first clerks distribute
the letters into pigeon-holes with the
name of each town thereon. As soon as
the pigeon-holes are filled up , the letters
are tied into packages and thrown into
pouches. Every largo town , say like
Lincoln , in Nebraska , or Denver , in Col
orado , lias large pouches , into which is
thrown the letter mail for those places
alone. Other smaller towns do not have
a separate nouch , thu mall for such places
being thrown in together. The distribu
tion of papers is a separate branch of the
work , which belongs to the third clerks.
The man who attends to this class of
work stands before a long table on which
are dumped the papers ho is to distrib
ute. Open pouches are ranged along
the side of the oar , into which , by dex
trous throwing , ho sends the papers
flying. The ability of the paper clerk to
dispatch a big mall depends , of course ,
uiioii his dexterity and his familiarity
with the postolliccs. He rarely or .never
makes a misthrow. The paper clerk of
first-class ability can , by ton hours' work ,
dispose of 150 sacks , each containing
from 250 to UOO papers. Or , in other
words , ho can dispose , to average fairly ,
of about 40,000 papers in ten hours' time.
One of the most rapid paper clerks
in the service is W. F Comloy , who
is on the run between Pacific Junc
tion and McCook. Ho stands
before Ids table , and shufllcs oft" the
papers at n speed that is truly
marvelous. Mr. Comley keeps both
hands going and is equally dexterous
with the riglit and left. Ho can easily
read the direction on papersupsido down
and never stops to turn them right side up.
This circumstance , of course , contributes
greatly to his dexterity and speed. John
M. Butler , who has the run between
Omaha and McCook , has the 'reputation
of bcinpr one of the fastest , if not the
fastest , letter clerk under Mr. Gritlin. J
D. LaCourse. who runs between Pacific
Junction and McCook , is very rapid in
the distribution of letters. There are
others , of course , whose dexterity would
entitle them to mention in this connec
tion , did time permit.
The average man in the railway mail
service is sober , industrious and saving.
Ho gets a good salary , lives well , sup
ports his family comfortably , and gener
ally succeeds in laving up something for
a rainy day. A.v. . Grillun , chief clerk
under Capt. White , has been eighteen
years in the service , and is worth proba
bly $20,000. John Davis has served nn
equal length of time as mail clerk , and is
now worth $20,000 likewise. J , C. Mor
row has not been so long in the service
by two ycars.but his share of this world's
riches is estimated at anywhere from
$35,000 to i ? 15,000. Ho is probably the
wealthiest man of the 140 ocrks ) under
Mr. ( irlflcn. 'ihero are a number of ox-
railway clerks now in Omaha , whom for
tune has greatly favored , since leaving
the service. Among these may bo men
tioned , S. A. Orchard , Low Hill , James
Little and Leo K.stelle , at present district
attorney.

A CHEERFUL DAKOTA LIAR.
Samples of What nn .Average Dako-
inn Can Do at the 15xpunsc
of the .Truth.
Dakota Correspondence Modern Mil
ler : In the east thousands of people
plant and sow "in tnc moon" to insure
rapid growth , but in Dakota it is danger
ous to plant in thoiirolihc phase ot the
moon , so they arc careful to plant at
such 11 time that the moon will exert its
Inlluenco in holdincr the..crop back. I
have known several .disasters to result
from neglect of this ) precaution. One day
last January I got lostout'iu ' the coun
try , anil while 1 was' toiling-through the
tail , new gaass I saw a man with notning
on but his suspenders tearing along like
mad. Ho stopped just long enough to
tell mo what was up , and off no went for
the Iowa side of the Sioux river , which
lie cleared at a bound , and fell on all
fours into a snow-drift four foot
deep. Ho said he and his wife had
looked up the moon business and had
planted their garden the evening before ,
but happened to get hold of a last year's
almanac , and missed it about four days.
The result was that when he woke up
that morning the beets that he planted
forty feet from the house had crushed in
: iis cellar walls , and a squash vine had
: aken the door oil' its hinges , and was
just mopping the lloor with all there was
eft of the hired man , whom it had
snatched out of bett in the attic. lie
didn't know where his wife was but ho
saw some shreds of a nightgown and
several agate buttons in the Iront yard as
lie lied. Ho said there were pea vines
after him with pods on 'em large enough
tor phantom boats ; and one could see by
the way ho was dressed that if ho was a liar
at all , he was not a regular thorough
bred Dakota sample. Jt I really thought
[ would ever become an average Dakota
liar I would want to dio. Ting territory
must bo divided sometime before the day
ot judgment , for how could the Almighty
ever audit its accounts with only one sut
of clerical angels at work at a time ?
About two weeks ago I saw a farmer
out behind a straw stack gathering into
tv neap a lot of old bones and pieces of
liides , and sprinkling salt on them. Yes
terday 1 saw this same man selling A line
[ > air of steers to a butcher up town. They
were so fat and had lilli'd up so fast that
lie had pieced out their hides with an old
biillhlo robo. This granger was a Sun
day school superintendent before ho
came to Dakota , but ho swore these wore
the flaino cattle 1 had seen him kicking
together behind the straw stack. He said
all they had eaten was some wild grass
that had sprung up in Ilia door yard ,
where the women folks had thrown out
a few tubs of warm soup suds on wash
days. Ho said that ho had learned that
the best way to winter stock in Dakota
was to knock them all to pieces in the
fall and sut them up again us wanted ,
otherwise , unless wo get a blizzard every
week , they were liable to gut too fat and
round on the native grass ,
Last fall I stopped at a , house to borrow
a match to light my pipe with. The man
told mo to go right out jn the garden and
pick all I wanted. J did not know what
ho meant , at lirst ; biit'ho went out with
me , and I'm ' almost ) afraid you'll think
I'm a liar for tolling It- there was about
half an aero growing $ ho finest parlor
matches I ever saw. iThcy worn as thick
as Inure on a blind inolo. He said ho had
a poor crop the yoar-iboforo , because the
seed was too good forsndli soil. This year
ho had mixed his seed mtftohcs with about
one-third toothpicksanil ) got a splendid
yield.
I wont out after brorlnast and saw the
man blowing up Hnbbn'rd squashes with
gunpowder. They wore too largo to bo
moved , and the farmer wanted the
ground. I noticed tliatrbno of his wife's
H'gu was about uigltti Inches longer than
the other , and the man'explained it thus :
Ho said when they first came to Dakota
they lived in a "dugout , " with nothing
but the ground for a lloor , from which
they had to mow the grass once a day to
lind the baby. He said his wife had a
habit of bitting with onn leg over the
other knee , and the leu that remained in
contact with the soij got such a start that
the other could never catch up.
