X D13A8THOUS W1IKCR.
The west end of the Burlington yards ,
near A street , was the scone of a very disas
trous wreck last night. Train No. 78 , drawn
by engine No. 243 , caino from the west at a
high rate of speed , and near the Salt crook
bridpo crashed into switch engine No. 310 ,
which had just pulled to that end of the
yards to throw some cars onto the Iron
I vorks switch. Dan Crcedan was the en
gineer in charge. Tbo two engines mot with
a terrible crush , both going over the embank
ment nud cicnt or tea cars following.
Crccdau was slightly hurt about the log , and
T. C. Swlnoford , a brakenmn , seriously In-
lured , although not dangerously so. The
cars were filled with horses , cattle , hogs , etc.
The scone ot the wreck was visited this
morning by hundreds of people and was well
worth a visit. The fields on cither side of
the track are strewn with the carcasses of
onlmuN , some crushed to death , others dis
embowelled , and ono flno horse was lying
face downward across a barb wire fence
while on his tack lay a truck. The cars were
badly smashed. This morning while the big
wrecking derrick , placed on the track was at
tempting to draw up a tender , it became
'overbalanced ' and went down the embank
ment with a crash. Trafllo was tcmporarilv
stopped , as the track was not cleared until
nftornoon. The passenger trains transferred
their loads , The wreck will cost the com
pany about $ j,000.

Uordnor that she had been living for some
BZ or seven years with her grandparents in
Dos Molr.es , and during that tlmo had not
coon or heard from her mother. A few weeks
ngo she learned that her mother had been
cook in a restaurant tu Omaha , and with her
young friend she started to that city to find
tor. They were informed that her mother
tvas in Lincoln. They cnmo down yes
terday , but could find no trace of
the woman , and were finally directed to
police-headquarters. As soon as Mr. Carder
learned the mother's name and tbo daughter's
description of her , ho recognized her as the
Keener of u notorious house of ill-famo near
Eighth and L streets. After consultation
with Captain Miller tbo news wa.i broken to
tUo girr , who was greatly affected on hearing
of her mother's infamy. She utterly de
clined , however , to have anything to do with
her mother , aud said she would as soon as
possible return to her Das Molnos homo. As
' neither had any money they were taken to

TUld WOLFE CONFIDENCE GAME.
The Arrest of Three Men Lends to
Interesting Developments.
Another Interesting chapter was added to
the C. E. Wolfe confidence game story yes
terday afternoon by the arrest of Patrick
Koyes , the man who drew Wolfe's money
from the bank , Jim Norton , recently em
ployed as watchman by the Swift packing
company nnd formerly superintendent of the
street sweeping gang , and J. A. Eanls , a
private dctcetivo who has been about Omaha
for some tlmo.
The men were found at the Drum saloon ,
ana Koyes and Ennls were considerably In
toxicated. When brought face to face at the
police station and questioned about the
affair , ICoyos told the whole story. Ho said
that Kiinis cams to him and said that ho was
working for Chief Seavoy and wanted to got
hold of Wolfe's money to glvo it to Mrs.
Wolfe. Hosaia Wolfe had defrauded his
wife , and they wanted to got the money
away from liim so that they
could glvo It to Mrs. Wolfe nnd
then scare Wolfe out of the country. Keyes
said that Ennis offered him 32o if bo would
help do the job. Ho accepted the otter , bo-
lloving all the time that the money was to bo
turned over to Mrs. Wolfe. When thov suc
ceeded in potting the tnouoy , howoverlvoyes
says that Ennis then said they would simply
divide the pllo and leave Airs. Wolfe en
tirely out of the deal. Etmls took $225 and
offered Jim Norton $25 if ho woula assist
Koyes in getting Wolfe out of the city.
They were In the Drum saloon at
the time , and it was but a few minutes after
Koyes had gotten the money from the bank ,
Norton said ho would do it , holng consider
ably intoxicated nt the time , and Enuis paid
him $10 in advance to got Wolfe away.
Norton admits that ho got the $10 , but says
that ho was intoxicated and did not know
tbo real nature o ( the caso. Ho lolt the
Drum saloon and wont to Wolfe's boarding
place just as Augcll was sending the team
back to the 1'vory ' burn , and everybody
about tbo house was excited over the
discovery of the confidence gatno. Norton
decided that It would not. bo safe to rccddlo
further with the affair , so ho wont back down
town nnd bad a good tlmo with the 810 that
Knnls hud givoa him.
Ennis was too drunk yesterday afternoon
to say much about the case , but while ICovos
was tolling the story Eunls called him a liar
several times , so H is qulto evident that ho
will glvo anothnr version of the business.
The sheriff from Ashland came up yester
day with a warrant for the nrrost of Wolfe
upon the grounds ot adultery. From what
ho said ( t appears thnt the authorities at
Ashland wanted to get Wolfe back there
with his money in Ills pockets. They would
have then hau an opportunity to got it away
from him for tbo benefit of the wife ho de
serted. It seems that Entiis was
ostensibly working with that In
view , but ho changed the deal
before the Ashland pcoplo had tlrao to got n
hand in the pot. Ennis had the superlative
ctudaclty to telegraph Mrs. Wolfe Friday
afternoon , after ho and ICo.ves bad ail ttio
money in their pockets , that she must send
them a check for fto to help pay expenses , or
Uo would bo obliged to drop tbo cose before
the money was gotten away from Wolfe.
Wolfe was nrrosted lost evening and will
bo hold as n witness.
Norton nnd Ennis were released upoa
bond but Koyes is still In Jail. The arrests
were made by Detectives Savage and Hazo.
