THE OMAHA -DAILY BBE : WEDNESDAY AUGUST 4 , 1880. 5 THE DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED The Victim of the Bullet at Lincoln Proves to Bo Julius Eiohorn , HIS DEATH STILL A MYSTERY Held For iMui dor In the Hoc- oml DtRrcc Htnto Knlr IMnna Discussed nntl New Features Adopted lilncoln NCWH. IrnoM THE HUE'S MNCOI.V nniEiuYl The mystery of the dead man at the Tnorgiic has been solved. Yesterday a Indy living in thu oily , Mrs. Selfert , vis ited the rooms of Undertaker Roberts anil nt once identified the man ns Julius Kic- horn , from St. Louis , a young man whom ( the hail known from childhood. As the lady viewed the remains nnd explained knowledge of the dead man tears welled from her eyes , nnd to every spectator present it wns manifest that the lost Identity of the dead had been found. The man otico identified particulars con cerning him were easily obtained. It i wns nt once ascertained that he had reached the city on Wednesday Inst , that ho hnd stopped nt the St. Charles hotel , paid his bill in advance uulll Sunday morning , and a valise containing clothes of the dead man was found in the room ho had occupied. The clothing in the vniisc nnd the clothing on the body wcro marked alike. Also in the valise was found the revolver ease belonging to the revolver found by the man's sido. A brother-in-law of the lady also identified the dead man as Julius Klchorii. On Thursday and Friday last ho had vis ited with both the parties who now ident ified Him , but since that time had not been seen. The mystery , however , con cerning his manner of death remains ns great ns ever , Was it suicide or was it murder remains yet unanswered , nnd the coroner's jury , which has not yet con cluded its investigations , is unable to se cure nny clew or testimony that tends to throw nnv conclusive light on the sub ject. A brother of the dead man , August Kichorn , whoso ndtlress is 831 South Third street , St. Louis , hns been tele graphed , and until an answer Is received from him the body will bo kept at the coroner's. That the investigation into the mysterious death must bo complete is the sentiment of all. The strange fea tures of it , the finding of the body alone by the wayside without money on the person or papers of any kind , and the further fact that the pistol shot in the head did not leave n burn or scorch on the face or hair , all tends against the theory of suieidu and but leads deeper in the strangeness of the stranger's ' death. in.i.i ) roit MtnsuKie. William Kwnrth , held for the murder of his half brother , Herman Mnhs , the par ticulars of which were largely given in yesterday's BIK : , had his preliminary hearing before Justice Cochran yesterday under complaint of murder iu the second degree , anil was by that official bound over under $2,000 bonds to answer for the commission of the crime nt tuc coming term of the district court. The bond was readily given aud Ewarth returned to his homo in the country. The testimony in the case , ns cited by the witnesses pres ent , was not of n damaging character to the prisoner , nnd it is the belief that the prisoner on trial will bo acquitted. The testimony showed that the slabbing re sulted from a quarrel ; that it wns un known at the time it wns done , by I the witnesses of the fracas , and that Iho aggressive party wns , almost entirely , tlio man who mct.lus death. The father of the ( load man was ono of the witnesses to the trouble and one of Iho men to give evidence at the hearing , all of which wns of a mild ami harmless nature. The boiVrd 01 directors of the Stale Ag ricultural society closed nn interesting business session yesterday morning at their rooms nt the Capital hotel. There were present at the meeting E. Mclutyro , Howard ; Secretary U. W. Lnirnas , Brown- villo ; < ) . B. Diiisinore , Sutton ; ! ! . B. Nico- demus , Fremont ; L. A. Kent , Minden ; E. N. Grinnell , Fort Calhoun ; M. Dun ham. Omaha ; W. U. Bowen , Omaha , and J. D. McFarlnnd. Lincoln. The board found a largo accumulation of bills on hand , which were acted upon , nnd n number of important measures were dis cussed for future notion. The Br.r repre sentative learned from Secretary Furuns that work was being pushed on the now building for Iho fish commissioner's ex hibit , the building being 40x00 in size , to cost some $1,200. Mr. W. Li. Slay 1ms boon east for two months arranging with the fi h commissioners at Washington for the specimens nt tha national fish commission headquarters , and has secured cured them for the Nebraska fair ex hihit. Mr. May also secured soiiio valuable members of the finny triho from Massachusetts tluil will bo forthcoming and Iho people of the stain can rest assured that Com- miswionar May will have thu finest fish exhibit nt the fair ever gathered together in thu country. Another important building that is beinir constructed is a dairy house , which will bo supplied with refrigerator accommodations for all the dairy products that may bo entered in that class. The nmphithoator is being made one-half larger and the ends rnisei to two stories , adding much to the np- pcarance of tlio building ns well as giv ing extra room. Now avenues also will bo opened np in different parts of the ground to make additional accommoda tions iu the way of drives nnd walks , Al'l'OINTMKNTS MAUB at this meeting of the board are B , A. Rhodes , to be assistant superintendent o spcrd under Mr , McFarlnnd , and to bo auctioneer. Both positions are of im portancn and positions that the bean tire .satisfied Mr. Rhodes is every waj competent to fill. Major A. G. Hastings Inn , been appointed .superintendent o the line art hall , and thu years of ex-pur ionco the major tins had in fair work cai be nmplv displayed in this positio n The state board hns had placed nt its disposal n scholarship in the New York College of Veterinary Surgeons and the board has appointed to that scholarship Mr. L. K. Simpkins , of Jollerson county , whose credentials and recommendations wore voluminous nnd creditable. The board also extended an invitation to Dr. Billings to prepare a paper on any phase of his particular work and profession that ho mny desire , and the invitation is that the doctor prepare and road it at the Jan- may mooting of the board , when it gath ers In annual session , Bl'ECIAL FEATURES at the fair will bo numerous. One will bo thu Oregon car , the same that wont from Oregon to Now Orleans , nnd which is a oar built expressly for exhibition pur poses and which will contain specimens of products from that Pacific coast state that will bu well worth the seeing. Arrangements hnvu been made to have on thu grounds thirty Indians from the Pine Ridge agency who will remain in camp through the week of tlio fair to fur nish entertainment to parties from the effete east who have never witnessed a live , blood-thirsty red man. The annual address as has boon an nounced heretofore will bo delivered by J. H. Saunders of the Breeders' Gazette , Chicago , nnd this feature promises to bu of especial Merest to stockmen. Thu managers have- extended to the different companies of state militia a cordial invitation to bo present at nny or all davs of the fair and to such ns come in companies the freedom und courtesies of the grounds wKl be nn open tender , Said Secretary Furuns , "i'ucre wore never as good prospects before for A great fair nnd inquiries como from every part of tlio country. " Ono third of the entile stalls are already laken and ono fourth of the stnlls for horses likewise , gUlng some Index ol thu rush that is JOHIH ! to come.

Yesterday Hie board of public lands nnil buildings were in continued session one of llioir fir.st ncls of Ihe day was to "ornially accept the new laboratory build- ng nt Iho state university which the irehitcet lind certified wns completed ac cording lo plans nntl specifications , nnd which the board had Inspected the day Before. This building has a handsome ipponrnnce outwardly , nnd the board ex- iress IhomsplvfS satisfied wltli the work lone. The contract price for the build * jng was $211,700 , but tnc incidentals and axlras have used np Ihe appropriation 'or Iho work , $25,000 , up lo within nine teen dollars nnd some cents. STATE GEOLOGIST HUSSKU. . now in charge of the salt well worlc , made monthly report lo the board of the ; > regress made nl the well aud a list of strains found in the work during the last thirty days. The total depth of the well now in 1,010 foot , nnd tlio Inst How of jrino reached only n tcsl of 111" . Mr , [ Jussell in conversation with the BEI : re- [ torlcr stated Hint he was emphatically lot in favor of thn state attempt * ing to work the well with br'tuo of only a thirty-live degree test , nnd ho ngrccd that the board did exactly right in not entering on a lease or contract with the Western Salt company. The opinion scorns to prevail that the Stale Journal company , with IU prevailing .sentiment , wns ready to assist the salt company iu getting n monopoly of the wells , but the board of public lands anil buildings were not inc'ined ' to em bark on nn uncertainty on the part of llio state. Mr. Russell gave some facts con cerning thu worth ot brine that liavo been gleaned by experience in other stales and they are nil in effect that no success fill work can bo done with brine under sixty-live dezicits. In Michigan no brinn in nuy of tlio wells tests lots Ihan ninety- live degrees , nnd the brine at Syracuse , N. Y. , tests from sixty lo ninety. In response to the query as to llio possibili ties for finding a flow of that strength. Mr. Uuvsoll said that chances wore fn- vorablu when a son-level was reached of striking it ; the well is now down to within less than a hundred feet of sea-level and in going n thousand feet moro either brine or solid salt may bo obtained. Dr. Busline has been by the board ap pointed physician of the reform school in " place of "Dr. Dildinc , deceased , the ap pointment to go into effect at once. Tlio appointment of superintendent for the stnto home for tliufooblo minded has not yet been made , but piosumably will bo the present session of the board. Among the visitors at the state house yesterday wore George Cornelius , a mom- her ol the Inst legislature , and Captain Henry , of Fairmount , assistant quarter- muster general of the state militia. IN I'OUCE CIKCLKS. Police court yesterday lined William Goss , a farmer living n lew miles out of the city , five dollars and costs for prac ticing his team in the city under the iiu- jjression that he was running a race. Tlio line and costs wore paid and another party hns learned a lesson. Charles Cook was the name of n man who stole n silver watch from the clothes of a bathing party out on Salt Creek. The trial following his ofl'enso in this mutter resulted in Bonding him. to the county jail for thirty days , where he can bo found i others are looking-for him , S. K. Moore , ono of tlio citizens called into court on the complaint of the h'ra warden that ho was allowing combust ibles to accumulate in and around his place of business , was up in court yester day and assessed n fine of $5 and costs , the lowest line tinder the ordinance. Tlu'CP plain cases of drunkenness were heard yesterday , and one oi the victims looked as though ho had been through a sausage grinder so well bruised up nnd cohered with court plaster wore his features , whilu ono ear showed the rav ages of some hungry party who had taKcn oil' thn greater part of it. The usual fines and commitments followed their hearings. The deputy district attorney filed the papers in the cases against tnc saloon keeper at the St. Charles hotel , charging him with both selling liquor on Sunday and also selling to minors. The case was sot for hearing yesterday afternoon , and a hearing in the case means that it will lie pushed and that kind of business bo stopped. The proprietor of the National hotel appearctl before the court for the third time yesterday charged with violating the health ordinance , and the judge pro posed to innko it tha last time , imposing a line of $2.1 ana costs , Kansas City Ann , a notorious female of color and oil'virtue , was up in court yesterday for drunk and disorderly con duct. MINOR EVENTS. Tlio city council havu found n vigorous and substantial supporter of their side ot the casn in tha suwernge question in thu State Democrat and its now editor nnd the council receive a good many good endorsements from citizens generally. The State Journals fiasco muc'tiug is ovi- donlly bottomless. Mr. T. J. Plokott , Jr. , of Ashland calls at the BEE'S ollico to have the concction nindo that Sonntor Van Wyck speaks nt Ashland on thu 14th nnd not on the 10th ns previously announcedin these columns. Mr. F. b. Pallno made request to the city council and the request was granted to build a three slory brick block nt Thirteenth and O street to bo in size 25x 143 foot. The building will rise nt onco.

'Corrcspoiutciico of the BKI : . ] Fi'om bank to bank lie North Pintle river Is about GOO feet wiilo at this point , and in tlio spring , or wlion tlio river is liigli , there is probably an average ileplh of eight or ten feet of water , At tiiis season , liowovor , it is very low , and tennis ford It readily. Opposite the new town silo of Douglas the course of the river is nearly duu south , and tlio town is platted di rectly on its cast bank. As stated in my last letter , "the future great , " as the jealous press of the other and uliler towns facetiously called Douglas , is situated near tlio center of a plain or valley aver aging from ono to two miles wide. The viuw here is simply splendid. On the West is the Laraniio range of mountains , in full view , and some forty or forty-live miles south , but frequently appearing to be scarcely a rille shot away , rises the famous Laraniio Peak , a tall , steep , pointed mountain , towering toward tlio clouds and overlooking all the otliur peaks of Its range , and from whoso sum mit MIOW can bo seen a largo portion of the year. Several years ago , some seven miles northwest of lioro , on a high tract of ground at the confluence of the North Pintle and La Prclo creek , on the north- Dank of the former , was located the fain ous military post of Fort Fettorman. It novel1 had any forlilications like a fort proper , but consisted simply of a few barracks and warehouses for commissary supplies. Several com panies of soldiers wcro stationed thorn to hold jn cheek tlio Indians that then infested this country and committed the worst atrocities and barbarities im aginable on the frontiersmen and emi grants , but the red men wcro finally forced on to reservations , and about four years ago the troops were withdrawn and Fort Fettorman was abandoned as a military post. The government build ings were sold at auction and purchased for a trillo by discharged soldiers and othor.s , and a little village or trading point has sineo boon kept up , quite a pat ronage being derived by the merchants and business men from the stock ranches in thib portion of the territory. Taking its name from said military post , this section of country , including the eastern half of central Wyoming , has been known as "tho Fettennan country , " and whun it became certain that this par- adi o of the stockmen and the cowboys was actually to bo Invaded by the great est civilizor the world ever know , the locomotive , people from all the states and territories turned their attention this way. As Fort Fottorman Is located in the center of a military reservation or tract of land some six by ton miles in area , it was of course impossible to locate the proposed new town at or near bald military post , BO tlio railroad company , or rather the townsito company , secured COO acres of land at this point just cast and outsldo of the reservation , and about a month ago the town of Douglas was platted. The reader will no donbt inquire , "Why was it not called Fcttcrman instead of Douglas ? " The reason is : Everybody iu this section desired that it bo called Fet- tcrman , and no opportunity was neglect- cd to have their wishes made known to the town silo company. The latter read ily acceded to the popular demuuil , but the postotlico department refused on ac count of having postoflices named i't. Fiittcrmnn and Fcttcrman , as a similarity of names always causes much trouble and annoyance in handling the mails. Finally thu name of Douglas was given , in honor , I understand , of the lamented Stephen A Douglas. The change was very unsatisfactory at first , and it set people outside to studying geography ( through the newspapers ) , but wo arc all getting accustomed to it and the term "Tho Douglas country , " will soon become as familiar and popular as the old title. As early as March pcoplo began com ing here and looking over thu situation. The iirst location , of course , wasasaloon , a little wooden shanty being erected for tlio purpose. The second was u restau rant in a tent , the third a grocery in a tent , and the fourth was a tent nine feet square , pitched by your correspondent and four companions This constituted the town about the Iirst of April. The little settlement was established on one corner of the company's land , whore it was known the town plat or survey would not reach , and from that time on people begun to como in. On the 12th of Juno a canvass showed that wo bad about two hundred pcoplo hero , and business tents and houses were being established so rapidly that it became necessary to form streets between them. Everything moved along nicely until one day the railroad surveyors came along and sot grade stakes directly through our little town , and a few days later the graders came along and commenced work and about half the touts and build ings bait to bo moved. Previous to this , in fact last year. Mr. Frank S. Lusk , of the town by that name , fifty-five miles east of lioro , had purchased a tract of land adjoining : the company's townsito land on the north. This was his oppor tunity for a speculation , so ho platted a portion of it iu blocks and lots and streets and Is reaping a rich financial harvest by renting lots for live and ton dollars a month each , according to loca tion. Of course this raised a storm of * indignation and n largo crop of profan ity , but there was no help for it , and the greater portion of the towu Is now on the Lusk land. The townsito company has platted some thirty odd blocks about thrco-quar- tors of a mile south , which I will discrlbit fully in my next letter , when I will also give the exact number of business houses already established and the number of inhabitants. Two banks , one a national , liavo al ready boon established , and nearly every branch of business is represented , The JJKK is becoming very popular here , and as you are aware , has already attained a largo daily circulation hero. Although it hits to go up the Union Pacific and around by Roclc Creek and Fort Fetter- man. and is these days old when it reaches Douglas , a uowfadoalor informs me that ho thinks the three news agent- cies must sell nearly a hundred conies daily , and the public knowledge that the HEE has a representation here who will pay special littontion to the interests of that paper , and that a "Central Wyom ing Bureau" is to bo established and become a prominent feature of that enterprising daily , causes him to In crease his order for copies nearly every date. Our people foci feel like having a day of thanksgiving , for the fact that Douglas is now a regularly established postotllcc. A mail route from Fort Fetterman has also been established and dally service was put in for the iirst time the aatti. , Thursday. The sight of a mail carrier and looked mail ponchos was ono of the plcasantqst the pcoplo of Douglas have witnessed. Of course everything in the mail line now has to como around via Itock Creek aiid Fort Fcttcrman , IU > miles of thoi distance , by stage , requiring about three days from Omaha , but tlunk God ami tlio Elkhorn Valley & Wyoming Central Co. , in twenty days tlw iron norse will be here , and wo will bo out the woods , or ratlicr out of the wilderness. Only think of 111 Last March your correspondent was nine days coming fiom Chadron to this point with a freight team. . Iiv a few days wo can make the distance in six hours ; can go from Douglas to Omaha In a it ay , or to Chicago in less ttian two days. Hut what we wiU then particularly want ami need is a direct line from Fre mont , Nob. , or some other point , to Omaha , built and controlled by the Klk- horn Valley lino. And it Is as much to Omaha's interest as to the people of cen tral Wyoming , for , with such a road , operated judiciously , with tasfjlrnins and moderate tariUs , Omaha will bo to this country what Chicago is to Illinois and lown , the great wholesale point for Nebraska , Wyoming and the Black Hills country. 1 shall have more , and consid erable more , to say on this subject In the future , but If the press and people of Omaha are alive to the interests and future welfare of their rapidly growing city , they will at once begin to agitate this question of direct railroad communi cation and rapid transit , for this country is great enough , and has sulllolont re sources , to make Omaha the Chicago of the northwest , Uy the way : I know TUB Dr.n is always pleased to note the progress and success of native Nebraskans , wherever they may stray. And In speaking of this now post- pllieo , 1 will say that our now postmaster is an old Nebraska boy , Mr. James F. McKoynolds , formerly of I'oru , Noinahn county , and son of Daniel McRoynolds , n pioneer of that place. Mr. Reynolds loft the paternal roof ten years ago. when he was about llfteen years old , anil drifting to the frontier became a verita ble cowboy , following said occupation until last May , when his natural ability and shrewd business tact and exemplary business habits attracted the attention of C. 11. King , the wholesale merchant of Lhadron who is investing so heavily at Douglas , anil ho engaged Mr. McKov- nolds to take chargu of n store at this point , Mr. Melt , resigned his position of foreman of the llorrio ( Jattlo Co. , which ho had held five years , and en gaged with Mr. King , and soon , without solicitation on his part , received the en dorsement of nearly everybody in this section for postmaster. Thanks to Dele gate Carey , the appointment was prompt ly made out , the necessary commission issued , and to-day Douglas hofl a post- office and ono of the most eflieient and accommodating postmasters In existence , who , it is confidently cxpeoted , will be handling mall for a city of 10,000 inhab itants one year from this date.

The designs of these pieces are intended to express the opposing forces of civil ization , Tim gold men represent civil ization and the silver men barbarismand the hand of the artist wrought each piece to represent some phnsfe.and character istic of the age portrayed. This chess board and the chessmen were presented to Morphy nt New York after his return from his triumphal lour through Europe. The work was done by Tiffany , the chess men costing $1,500 and the board 200. The presentation was made by the Hon orable John Van Rurcn. On the same occasion Morphy was also presented with a line gold watch with colored chess figures in place of the Roman numbers to murk the hours. When Morphy felt the pinch of poverty lie sent tlio watch to Pans to bo pawned. It has never been redeemed. The sale , which was had nt the Arcade exchange , attracted much attention. Tlio chessmen were sold iirst , the opening bid being $1,000 which was quickly ad vanced to $1,100 , then to $1,300 and up to § 1,500 , wlioro the bidding halted for a moment. This was advanced to $1,550 , and , not being advanced , the sot was knocked down to Mr. Walter Denogre , wno , it is said , was acting for the New York and Brooklyn chess club.

Hermosa , or Battle Hirer formerly , is situated in a big valley on Buttle creek , asid has ns much good rk-h farming land tributary to it as has Rapid City , twontv-two miles south of us. Wo are on the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railroad , and the town is fast building up two or three blocks from the depot. We luivo the natural route up Rattle creek to the famous Etta tin mine. It is fourteen miles from Hermosa station to the Etta mine , while Rapid City is thirty miles. Freight for the Black Hills coun try to Etta mine , Hill City , llarnoy City , UTgerville , Howard and Hoekervillo isor- dered oft'at llormosa in the last olllclal circular. Coal has just been found two and one- half miles from here , and considerable excitement prevails in consequence of it. Ono or tlio Oldest and Jlost Fnmous of the Itomnulos. Iho Century : "Fifty or sixty years ajro tlin gypsies in England wore a much more remarkable race than they are at present. The railway had not come to break up their habits : there were hun dreds of lonely places In dell and dmglo where they could 'hatch the tan , ' or pitch the tent ; their blood had been lit tle mixed with that of the 'Uorgio,1 or gcntllo. They spoke their language witli greater purity than at present , and still kept their old characteristics unchanged. If they had the faults of the Arabs , they had also many of their good qualities. If they stole horses and foraged on farmers ; if tlielr women told fortunes , lied , and sometimes cheated a man out of all his ready money by pretending to ilnd a treasure in his cellar , on the other hand they wore extremely grateful and honest to those who befriended them , and mani fested in many ways a rough manliness which partially rcdeomcu their petty vices , They wore all , as are many ot their sons at present , indomitable 'rough riders' 'of tnc horse horsey , ' and , to a man , boxers , so that many of them were distinguished in the prize-ring , the last of these being Jem Mace. At this time tbcro prevailed among the English Romany a strong , mutual faith , a tribal honesty , which was limited but all the stronger for that even as the arms of a man grow stronger when he loses the use his legs. They wcro a people of power ful frames , passions , and traditional principles. Their weak children soon died troin the hardships of nomadic life , the remainder illustrated selection by Bufl'oring , and the survival of the fittest to fight "With such characteristics there could not fail among the gypsies man } striking instances of warm friendship , intense love , and the fidelity which endures oven till death. This was known of them when little clso was known beyond their most apparent and repulsive traits. Walter Scott indulged in no romantic license when he depicted Hayrnddin Mangrabln devoted to Qiiontln Durward ; even at present the Incident of a thought ful gift or any little act of kindness to them will bo remembered with a grati tude out of nil proportion to Its value , and go the rounds of all the Romany in the United States , Anil , therefore , when men fell in love with women there often resulted those Instances of inteiiHo passion and steady faith which at Iho present day are really becoming mythical. The cypsy in this , as in everything else , has boon a continuation of the middle ages , or of the romance era. "Such a passion was inspired more than half a century ngo by Jack Cooper , the Kurumcngro Horn , or lighting gypsy , in a girl of his own trlbo. nor pamo was Charlotte Leo , and it was about 1830 that Lcslio , the royal academician , led by the fame of her beauty , puinted the picture , now in New York in the possession of his sister , Mies Emma Leslie , troni which an engraving was tauen. The fame of her charms still survives among her people , and when a few days ago as I write , 1 was talking of Charlotte to some gypsies of her kin near Philadelphia , I was asked if meant the Rlnkeui that is , the beauti ful ono. " An Important Decision. Estellino Bell : A man was recently brought before a Ynnkton ( D. T. ) justice of the peace on the charge of assault and battery. "Tho complaint says that you attacked this man with a knife and nearly killed him ; how is it ? " said the jtisice. "Yes , 1 stabbed at him a few times ; he came up to my house and began abusing mo and calling mo names and " "That's no reason for assaulting him the way yon did. " "Hold on a , minute , iiidge ; then he jumped around and said no could lick rno and struck nt mo " "Still you had no business to attack him so savagely ; you nearly killed him. " "That's all right , Your Honor , I'll ex plain ; then ho wont on to abuse my wife and began chasing the children around the yard and " "That will do von had'no excuse for attacking ( him with n knife ; you should have called a police man to rcmovo him ; 1 must hold you for attempt to kill. " "Just another word , iudgo , after that he walked over and kicked my do < ? and " "Hoy ? kicked that liver-colored bird-dog of yoursV "ISot ho did , judge ; walked right up to him when no wa'n't doin' nothin' and kicked him right in thoside. " "Yes , and just as like as not injured him so you can't hunt with him this season ; why didn't you tell me this at first ? you did perfectly right in going at him with a knife , and I discharge you. Mr. Plain tiff , just whack up a $10 line to this court tfor kicking the dog. " Dlcdlcal Testimony. 100 WKST 40ni aTKKKT. NEAV YOHK , Juno 0,1683.
