A Mrlango of lioonl Hports Prlnco llldlvlviis Ulnntonil nafllins QiicatloiiH Answered and * Miscellaneous Gosalp. The l-'lfilit. For the Flan. Tboro 1ms been but n trifling change In the Wentcrn association rnco slnco the last ro- vlow , and it still continues hot and furious BO far as tlio two lending- teams nro con cerned. St. I'nul , by reason of Omalm' linvlng n postponed game , has crept upon the local team n few points , and n slnglo dofcnt will drop tlioVhlto Sox back Into second notch. This defeat Is apt to como any day , na the liomo team Is not In good form , owing to the crippled players. The Apostles arc on their grounds again , and will ncaln bo the loaders In the race by next Saturday night. unless the Omahns play In uncommon good luck. Sioux City ntlll clings to third place , Minneapolis to fourth und the Prohibi tionists to 11 Hli , while St. Joa nml Milwaukee nro having a roUKh-and-tumblo fl ht for tail- end honors. The National league the status of things Is about the same as last wccU , although the Boston * , slnco returning home , have re gained BOtno of their lost udvuntago over the Clavclands , but at the same time Mutrlo's giants and the Phillies are pulling up good and strong and nro in dangerous proximity to the load , The Hean Eaters must not lag now , or the Now Yorks will gallop by them with a rush , and once In front it will bo no cosy matter to head thorn again. Chicago , bad struck n splnndid gait Just before starting on the present eastern pilgrimage , and her legion of friends expected to see her forgo up among the leaders. On foreign grounds , however , she again full down , even the VVashlngtons tak ing two games out of four from Anson's lambs. Plttsburg , Indianapolis nnd the Senators will get the Hag etc long unless they brace up. In the American association race wo Imvo the finest struggle of all , as St. Louis , Brooklyn , the Athletics and Ualtimores are running In a buncb for first place , with the Browns , of course , in the lead. A blunbut would cover the other throe teams , however , as they say In turf circles. It Is a frantic , forlorn chase , though , without a doubt , for the triumvirate just mentioned , and they cannot close up the gap between them and Coinisky'a marvel on this trip. They must bo content with holding their own , and then , when they get bnclt on their own grounds in the cast , make a last deuerato effort for the pennant. It is safe to say , should one of these teams over wrest tlrst place from St. JLouls , they will hold it until under the wire. Cincinnati keeps up her erratic work nnd can't expect better than fourth place at the very best. Kansas City , Columbus nnd Louisville are struggling along together in the Just behind tbo leaders. , , Prof. liloycl'A Challenge. Prof. Prank Lloyd , of Buffalo , N. Y. , nnd the champion horseback wrestler of the world , is In the city ana has issued the fol lowing challenge : OMAHA , Nob. , July 13. To the Sporting Editor of TUB BE B : I arrived in your city this morning , and as I will bo hero for n couple ot weeks would like to got on a wrestling match at my style horseback of which I hold the championship record of the world.

I would bo pleased to hoar from Walsh , of St. Louis , or ICastcn , of Kansas City. If a match U made the Coli seum would afford fine facilities for holding the sumo , and I think the building can bo se cured for the event. Yours , PllOF. FlIAXK Ll.OYl ) .

'Prlnco Ilcdivlvua. To the Sporting Editor of THE BEE : Will you kindly insert the following in your next issue. While taking n training spin on my bicyolo at the fair grounds the other evening I hoard it remarked by two or three horse men ttmt they could find u horse that could beat inc- for n ten-mile dash for $500 a sUle. Now I wish to state that I will ride my bi cycle In a ten-mile dash straight away , against any trotting horse or pacer in the country , nnd urn ready to make the match any time , to run on any half-mile track that can be gotten in good coadition. Yours truly , JOHN S. PIIINCE , A rnco of this description would certainly bo ono of considerable interest , as Prlnco lias had much experience In this line , having raced with such noted trotters as Ccntrullon , in San Francisco , in 1639 ; Scotland. In Phil adelphia , in ' 84 , nnd Mary Howard , in Hos- ton , in ' 81 , and knows what ho Is talking about. There are many horsemen hero who think they can boat any 'cycle rider living in a ten or twenty -mile straight race. Tlio ClioHtnut Season.

I hope Miss Oukos' backers will not lot thin opportunity pass , us they must acceptor forfeit the medal and championship.

Doyle , the pitcher secured by Milwaukee from the Now England league on recommendation of Catcher Hurley , was not given u trial , because of his poor showing in practice. Every member of the Omaha team feels confident that the club will win the pennant. While their confidence may bo misplaced , this is certainly the proper "spirit' , as a lack of confidence Is us great a factor in defeat as poor'playingr If ono toani goes into a came feeling that it has a snap , aud the other that It hasn't much of a chance to win , the former comes out victorious nine times out of ten. McNabb , who has lust signed with the Denvors , came from the Waco , Tex. , team. He has a record of sixteen strike-outs in ono game with Galvcston. In twenty-two games ho struck out 17G men , an average of eight per game , and allowed his opponents an av erage of but six per game.

[ Special to Tim BKK. ] "By order of the court , " criminals In the ploncor days of Nebraska City and Otoo county received swift and oltonthnos severe punishment at the Imnds of the "court's1' appolnt6d executioners. The "court" recognized but two modes of punishment for crimes committed with in its jurisdiction death and a public flogtrlng. In a few special Instances , however , eternal Vanishment was re sorted to , but these cases wore fow. In the manner of capital punishment , the methods of th'o executioner varied in accordance with the instructions from the "court" and the atrocity of the crime. The flotfpings also differed in the methods of administration accord ing to the sonlonco , from half n dozou lashoa up to several hundred. Th6 "court" was ALWAYS IN SESSION , and its rulings and decisions In Import ant coses were always impartial and just. "court' * adiunet The was an important to that plonoor necessity , the vigilance committee , which hold full swny and dealt out justice in Otoo couutyjor many years , In the * 50'a and CD's. The committee numbordd among its mem bers nearly every citizen in the com munity , excepting the criminal class , and oven the duly elected city and county oflicora were prominent In vig ilance work and justice , and it was sel dom that a guilty man escaped. The original committee is still in ex istence , although Its membership has boon reduced by death to about twenty men , and the organization Is now In a state of "Inocuouadesuetude , " although members of the committee are i > till called upon when a hangman's knot is in demand.

The time of thrf'Uommlttoo's disorgan isation dates bn R some twenty years , and was the rotfulC ! of a discovery that there wore traltbl'i and horse thieves in the committee.1' ' Among the IttStihcts of the committee was a decision ffciidored by the "court , " directly after th'o war , which fixed the death penalty 1(0011 ( the notorious Mc- Waters , Quin ' "Bbhunnon'-and several others then HV'Wg in the vicinity of Wyoming City , northwest of this city. master.

Every , arrangement had boon made } and the following night the execution was to havo.boou carried into effect , when Information was brought to the "court" that the mop had gotten wind of Hho decision aud had dis appeared. They ha'd gone-for good and remained away for number of years , and returned only when the committee had gene out ot business. The committee then turned its atten tion to itself to llnd the traitors. They were unsuccessful in-securing adequate proof , but the suspicion pointed strongly to a well-known member who soon after loft the country. In the fall ot 188SDoininickO'Rourke , then quite a well-known citizen , as sisted a man who ia only remembered us 'Tecumsoh" to btoal a horse In broad daylight. The animal was hitched in front ot Captain Laboo's hotel. Tlio thiot aud horse escaped into Iowa and the matter was reported to the commit tee , who gave immediate chase and brought them oack. Both men were turned over to the sheriff tor safe keep ing and were confined in the old block ' house. The committee , howo'vor , was not satisliod witli the law's delay and demanded the prisoners , which were refused thorn without n written "order from the court. " Tno order was soon produced and the mon were turned over to the committee and taken before the "court" for trial.

Ho wits then escorted out < ? l tojvn ; ho has remained away over since.f ) In 1800 , about the time of Nebraska City's great lire'tUe committee arrested a man on the allcrgM suspicion that.ho was the incendiary , and that belief is general yet , buuv ember of the vigi lantes told mo yostorrtay that the arrest was for tlio purposeof making him con fess his knowlodgjjjof several criminals with whom hoksspciatod. } The man was taken to Mart , Sliockler's black smith Phop anjluuiged / } , but was cut down before lifflg Yft1-extinct. He was revived and theru confessed all ho know of his associates , a'i\d \ ho was let off , but the men ho ivfomod ] on were soon in the toils , aiujflSoino of them , after a fair trial by the "ityourt , " fount ! thein- solvo'j dangling p JLUo end of n rope. Some time liu ft * ) an old man fell asleep on the rivffn&ank while waiting for a boat on wlm w ho wanted to re turn homo , and was robbed of several hundred dollars , 'iy a Mexican cow- pnnchor. The old man waa nearly crazed over his loss nnd reported it to a member of the committee , who pro ceeded to investigate. It was certain that the Mexican jwould bo drunk in losa than an hour with so much money in his possession , and with this clue to worlc on a visit wan made to the saloons. The flrat place stopped at a Mexican was found drinking and KLOuiusuiNa TUB OID WAN'S Moznsv bag , which was recovered , and the greaser was swinging from the limb of iv tree before he could sober up. During a part of the war the people along the river between this point and Missouri were kept In a constant tttato of terror by the depredations of Cleve land's notorious bushwhackers. In tbo fall of ' 02 throe members ot the gang were on a foraging expedition In the bottoms near Peru , and broke into a house belonging to a widow and inhabited by Tier and a daughter. They assaulted the women and after brutally outraging them they killed the inotnor by crushing her head with a rifle. The news of the outrage soon roaohod the city ana the blood of the vigilantes was excited to the boiling point. A few trusty and determined men were placed under the leadership of City Marshal Thomas , one of the most courageous men that has over grown up on the frontier , and they started on the trail of the murderers , whom they succeeded In rnrining to earth before they got far from the sccno of their crime. The olllcors were discovered by the bushwhackers , who opened ( Ire upon thorn from ambush , the bullets whistling uncomfortably close to their cara but hitting none of thorn. The next Instant Marshal Thomas , who was one of the best shots In the territory , got a glimpse of the murderers and three shots llrod In rapid succession killed one of the men out right and wounded the other two , one fatally. The other vllllan was captured and In Icon to town and in the night was guarded at a hotel kopthy a man named Rhodes. During the evening a com mittee called upon the marshal and de manded the prisoner , and it being use less to refuse , the man was turned over to the vigilantes who took him to the river , whore thoyjbound him securely hand and foot. A liolo was then CUT IN TIIK ICK and the murderer put down with his head ilrst. His body was found the next spring some miles down the river. About this time a gang of Kansas jayhawkers made a rado into this sec tion of the country and stele horses and rattle in such numbers that it was found oven more stringent meas ures were necessary. Jayhawkers wore hung on sight , and perfect terror reigned for a time. Farmers coul'd not leave their horses standing alone for half an hour without finding them stolen when they returned. Hogs and cattle had to bo locked up , and the death rate among the Jayhawkers in creased daily , hut stealing continued. It was at this point that the famous horsothiof bill was drafted and pre sented to the legislature , then in ses sion at.Omaha , through Representative Blrchllold , of this city. The principal provision of the bill was that which empowered any and every man with the right to shoot , or in any other way kill , any , person who was caught loading an other man's horse. The bill was drafted and presented in all seriousness as the only protection against the thieves , but it was defeated after a long and bitter light in the legislature. The vote upon it having been a tie the bill was not again brought up. . It , however , had the effect of lessoning the crime of horse stealing at that time , and the vigilance committee was given a needed rest. An AUsolutn Cure.
