The Walking Pak ? .
The result of the recent six days' walking
match at New York city , In which ono James
Albert was awarded the first purse and
given a record of 041 miles , has created no
little dlccusslon In sporting circles through
out the world. The fact that the winner was
apparently as fresh ut the finish ns at the
statt und that his feet were not swollen In
the least has caused many to
claim that the whole aflalr was
a most cleverly planned swindle
and that Albert never made anything near
the number of miles scored to him. It remains -
mains for the HBI : ta give what It believes to
be an expose of the affair and show how
easily the public were defrauded.
Charles . Uibblns , the well-known sport
ing man of this city , and who has always
been greatly interested in pedestrian contests
and like athletic sports , and who Is the
principal backer of Prince In the great
10,000 bicycle race noon to take place
with McCurdy , has telegraphed to New York
parties that ho would bet $ "i,000 to
SJ.OOO that Albert did not walk 021 miles at
the recent match , and furthermore that ho
could not walk 550 miles In six days. Mr.
Uibbins strongly suspects that crooked work
has been done and that the referee , contest
ants and spectators were tricked. Mr. Hlb-
bins claims to know how the trick could bo
successfully worked but declined to expose It
at present. Ho also states that Al Smith
who managed the affair , knows how It can bo
done , but Is positive that Smith Is Innocent
of abetting the fraud. In response to a tele-
trrunhlc Inquiry from Mr. ' Hibblns ,
Smith wired back that ho never saw Albert
before the match , and never spoke to him in
his life.
Mr. Hibblns was asked if it was not possi
ble that the fraud was successfully carried
Out by two pedestrians who look exactly
alike. The inquiry greatly embarrassed the
gentleman , but ho finally admitted that It
would be possible.
1 .There Is little doubt that this Is the solu
tion of the great fraud. From a source that is
perfectly reliable the following facts arc
icarnod.
Some two or thrco years ago certain sport
ing men were approached by a stranger Who
poposcd the following scheme. Ho said ho
knew twin brothers who resembled each
other so clos-cly that the one's identify was
established by the other when apart. No
ono , not even intimate friends , could tell one
from the other. He further stated that they
were alt cady fair walkers and then asked.
"Why could not ono of the brotheis bo so-
crctly carried into the dressing room of his
brother ( in a largo trunk for instance ) and
when the ono routes from the trade let the
other take his placet In that way
both of them could bo always fiesh and
could break all records. The pool rooms of
the entire country could bo worked and the
winnings of the backers bo unlimited. "
This scheme was considered a most excel
lent ono , and the two men were brought to
Omaha , where for nearly n year they were
In constant training. The resemblance be
tween them was wonderful , and jt seemed
that detection would bo Impossible.
Finally some rupture occurred between the
twins und the sports , who wcro backing
them. They loft Omaha und also loft 3,000
of Indebtedness. Neither ono has been seen
hero since.
It is now believed In sporting circles that
the two Brothers worked the snap at Miul-
ison square , garden last week. The whole
truth will come out in a few days , as at least
one sporting man in this city knows all of the
facts. _

O. II. Ilothnckcr Tells What Ho Will
1)6 for Ilinmcir and Children.
O. H Hothacker , late of the Hupublicann ,
was seen yesterday by a HEK reporter and
asked what course ho Intended to pursue
with reference to his connection both with
the paper in question und the family of his
deceasedwife. . His answer was that
ho would contest to the last
the application of Mrs. S. P. Hounds for the
guardianship of his two children , which ap
plication bad been filed In the county court
while tender hands were dressing his de
ceased wife for her casket. The reports
published in the other papers to the effect
that Mrs. Hounds had been appointed guar
dian of his children was untrue , and Judge
Shields had not yet set a date for
hearing the case. Mr. Hothackci
also claimed that ho would cull for a division
of the Hounds' estate , such as his wife was
entitled to in the Interest of her and his
children , and that in this move ho would bo
joined In his own behalf by Horace Hounds ,
ono of the sons of the lute S. P. Hounds
who had died intestate. Another
claim made by Mr Rothurkcr was that ho
would bring suits for damages , because o :
Blander , against ono of the members of the
Rounds family and u man by whom tlia :
party had been abetted or who had himsel ;
actively engaged in ' the circulation o
'slanderous reports concerning him. Mr
Rothackcr further states that upon thu
outcome of these suits depends thu future
management of the Republican , which ,
though now nominally in the hands of Mr
Smith , really depends upon the intcres
in the estate of his deceased . wife. Together
with the interests of certain other members
of the Hounds family and thai
of friends of his , the share o
his wlfu would effect a very material change
in the management of that sheet.
Mr. Hothacker , in conclusion , says that ho
invites the fullest Investigation Into the
closest construction to be placed upon all hi
actions In relation with all the members o
Ids family.
\TEIl. .
Yesterday afternoon O. H. Hothacko
filed his application with Judge
Shields in the county court
as guardian of his two children , aud Mrs. S
P. Hounds , who has already applied fo
guardianship of the same little ones , togethe
With all other parties Interested in the con
tnivcrsy will bo cited to appear for u hearing
of the CUHO on March 13 , to show why Mr
Rothackcr's bond should not bo approved.
HECOUl ) OF A
In AVJilch the Gas Company Was Out
wilted.
The question of the right of the Union Pa
ciflu road to lay a track In the gas house allej
west from Eleventh to Thirteenth street
was yesterday settled to the satisfaction o
all the parties interested In nn intcrviev
which took place between representative
of the gas company aud the superlntcnden
of the UuloU Pacific. It was shown to th
representatives of the former that th
ordinance gruntingtho Union Pacific righto
way through thu alley was passed some
months ago , thereupon the representatives o
the gas company requested that the ro.u
should use ilibcrutlon In the running of its
engines along the alley , t > o ns not to jeopar
dize the works or the life of the men con
nccted with them. Mr. Dickinson assured
the committee that the Union Pacitl
had no dcsiro to In any way injure
the gas company ami that fo
Bomo time it would bo able to transact its
business without bringing its locomotive
near the works , and in thu event of engines
being needed extreme * caution would b
taken to prevent the dropping of bparksupnn
the part of their works which were consid
crcd dangerous. This understanding wu
satisfactory to the gas people und us a consequence -
quenco yestoiduy nftornoou und this mornlni
u force of men went to work to lay the tracl
in a solid und permanent mNoncr.

A Swindle Extraordinary.
Complaints liuvo been made to the Br.E o :
a slick scheme that is being successfully
worked in this city by a ono armed man o
depraved tastes. The scheme is as follows
The man enters a saloon and calling someone
ono asldo shows to him a volume containing
prints of the most licentious character. Ho
then explains that ho is broke and that the
foul book is the only thing left to himtha ;
ho paid $10 for it but will consent to nccep
$1 for the volume. Jf the victim consents
to make the purchase , the seller wraps it ill
carefully in a paper and explains to the
buyer that were it known by the uuthorit is
that ho had sold such a book ho would 00
liable to a term in the penitentiary. All this
gives the swindler time to changa the IMC
ago and when his victim undoes it ho llmls a
bundle of tracts or something similar. It is

Edward Maurer was tried In the afternoon
for keeping the view into his saloon ob
structed by blinds , paint and screens. The
.rial was by Jury and lasted about an hour
mil a half. There wcro thrco witnesses on
.ho part of the prosecution , all police offic
ers , and at the conclusion of the testimony
Mr. Hitchio , the attorney for the defence
said ho was willing to lot the case go without
any evidence on the part of the defense. In
: ho examination of the witnesses Attorney
jiirdner , representing the state , forgot to
: nivo the witnesses certify that the defend
ant was Edward Maurer , and that ho was a
loaler In malt and spirituous liquors. The
jury was out about fifteen minutes and re-
.urned with a verdict of "not guilty , " calling
the attention of the Judge to the prosecuting
attorney's oversight , which necessitated this
verdict according to their oath , outside of
any consideration of the evidence. The wit
nesses in the case had sworn that tho.viow
nto Mr. Maurcr's restaurant and saloon was
obstructed by screens and paint on the glass
) f the doors and east window , and
that the west window although of
: lear glass was obstructed by shutters insido.
Mr. Maurer claims that the doors and east
window of his restaurant are of ground glass
without any curtains and that thcro is no
obstruction by any shutters whatever on the
west window.

RELAYING SIDEWALKS.
Properly Owners Must Do the Work
nt Their Own Cost.
Side-walk Inspector Allan suys that a mis
apprehension of the law relating to the lay
ing of sidewalks seems to govern the citizens
on Eleventh street near the Center street
school. The walks on the former thorough
fare have been badly torn up by the graders
and placed inside the fences , while in many
places they have more or less distroyed.
It seems that the property owners expect
the board of public works or the sidewalk
inspector to relay the walks. But in this1
they are looking to the wrong party. Mr.
Allan said that ho has already notified the
owners that they must relay their own side
walks , otherwise the city will take hold of
the business and charge the cost of the same
up against the property. Under preexisting
ing contracts , it was the duty of the
grading contractors to relay walks which
they disturbed. Under the contracts of last
year , however , this was not the case. Fif
teen days will bo eivcn to the property own
ers to put the walks down , and if not done in
that time they will bo roluid by the city con
tractor , and the cost assessed against the
property owners. Mr. Allan further stated ,
and was sustained by Mr. Dalcombo , of the
board of public works , that In all grading
contracts for this year the contractors would
bo required to replace all walks taken up by
them.

SPRING STYLES ,
i
Although it is a little early to talk about spring goods , yet in some
departments new goods are already in demand. Our Hat department
lias for the past few days been quite active , and our spring trade in
this line promises to be the biggest we ever had. We have made am
ple preparations for it , have enlarged this department considerably
and have put in a stock of hats unequalled for variety and styles. We' '
propose to make this department a-leading feature of our business. !
Those who'bought hats of us last' season know that we sold them for-j
about one half the prices other houses charge. We intend to do stilr
better this season. We do not carry any cotton or so-called wool hats.
We only keer > good qualities of fur hats such as we can warrant will5
give entire satisfaction to the wearer , with every hat sold in our es
tablishment goes a guarantee , and our guarantee means that if any
imperfection or damage is found in a hat , we take it back and give
either a new hat or return the money.
As our opening bargain for the season we have placed on sale ai\
elegant line of cassimere hats , made in the latest shapes , at one dollar.
These hats cannot be duplicated elsewhere for less than $2.50. At the
price of one dollar they are the most astounding bargain ever offered in
this or any o'ther city. Finer grades of cassimere hats at $1.40 , $1.75
and $2-25. Our very finest hats at $3.25 are equal to the best makes
in this country or imported.
We have added this season a large line of soft hats , and also a finq
assortment for boys.
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictly one price.
