things for anprovnl. Ono was
that tbo secretary of the now

other recommendation was that the gain re

equally between the homo nnd visiting eluhs ,
15 per cent to each club , nnd the remaining
10 percent to ttiu association.
The commlttoo will probably moot lu Chicago

Not Coinjietu Against ,
The greatest pieiwof blcyblo rldliiR ever
witnessed In the Coliseum was tso oleht milo
spurt last night in which Hilly Wood , the
Englishman , took a lup { from Ashlngor , Iho
"Oklahoma Oyciono. " The doughty little
rider from across the main sot out for the hip
about 8 o'clock , and after eight miles had
been tolled off by most tremendous exertion ,
Wood accomplished what ho started
out to do , anil that was take n
lap from the American. To mnko It
doubly Interesting. Wallace Stage , bycllni-
ing close to Wood's heels , also took n lap
from Ashiugor , regaining what bo lost oil
Wednesday night , nnd placing him once
moro on oven terms with the Cyclone for
second place.
The race , however , is not over yet by any
moans , for AshliiRcr swears by the great
horn-spoon th&t ho will got that lap back in
the first hour tonight or break a couple of
spokes In the endeavor. The chances are
greatly against this , though , as Woods
is riding at a pace thnt was
never excelled in a professional race In this
or any other city , and that ho is the equal of
the fastest men in the world IH u fact that
remains to bo disproved.
Tonight and the cliuso will end , and when
Jt dops , the greatest , bicycle rnco , the fairest ,
squarest and hardest run over nmdo In
Omaha will have passed Into history. It has
been deserving of much moro liberal patronage -
ago than has been accorded It , for It has
boon and will bo a race .strictly on lu merits ,
whether the riders realize ououth to pay for
their transportation to Chicago or whether
they nro compelled to count the ties. The
final Bpurt was spirited nnd exciting , Wood

And now It appear. ? that after nil the talk
about nn Injunction against the city council
to prevent it from paying the monthly esti
mate to n paving company for work on
Twenty-fourth street Is only n fnko. The
stock yards nnd packing house people declare
that they made no arrangements for nn In
junction nnd thnt they had merely begun nn
investigation of tlio matter , as it had boon
represented to them that thnv would have
to bo.ir a part ot the expenses of the paving
of Twenty-fourth stroot. A further investi
gation of the matter shows that the persons
who manufactured this sham report are two
in number. Ono is an oraployo of the Omaha
Packing company and wants to ho mayor.
The other is nn employe of nn Omnhn paper
and wants to be a police judge. The story of
n threatened injunction was , as near ns can
bo learned , Invented by tboso two for the
purpose of creating an Issue nnd Is abetted by
a disgruntled representative of the Barber
Asphalt company , who is actuated by re-
vciiKcful motives only.
On the other hand , however , one supporter
of the Stradamant company goes so fur us to
sav thnt the Harbor company made over
tures to the wrong people , which gives rise
to the suspicion that boodle was dangled by
both companies ns a bait for patronage.
The way matters stand now the Stradn-
matit company will hardly finish the paving
of Twenty-fourth streut until after the elec
tion , nnd It Is the Intention of tno two politi
cal aspirants above named to make the people
ple of South Omaha believe that they have
boon robbad aud harp on that Idea until thov
ride Into powor. As Tiu : BEE dee * not wUh

sollish interests of the two fellows alluded
to , tholr names nro not mentioned.
Why Mnlccpunco Ciot I'ull.
George Manopoace , the lawyer , says that
if any man on earth has a good excuse for
drinking until hots completely paralyzed , It
is ho. George says that be has got but little
use of the $500 secured by him from the
Union Pacific Railroad company because n
conductor kicked him off the dummy near
Shouly. After paying some nntlquatsd bar
bills Makepeace says that ho entrusted $300
of this mono. ? to his wife to take to the bank
for safe keeping. Ho retained n trifle less
than $103 to celobralo this unexpected period
of prosperity nnd started out to cultivate the
acquaintance of every bar tender In the city.
Makopoar.o doesn't remember exactly how
many days this required , but at any
rate when he rolurnod to his home he found
It swept and garnished. Wife , money , furni
ture , cvorytbing was gono. His better half ,
ho says , alter getting hold of such an un
precedented sum as $300 , bad decided to put
it. In an old stocking instead of the bank for
safe keeping and had made up her mind that
as there was no chance for any greater stake
she would return to single blessedness , tak
ing with her the $ ! 00.
Makepeace thinks it very unicind in tbo
police for arresting him boouusqho got drunk
after such a stntu of affairs.
A Huron In Trouble ,
Baron Henry J. Reiser , the onlv titled gen
tleman in South Omaha and probablv in the
state , Is again In trouble. This time it Is not
an affair of honor with pistols and coffee tor
two , but u common , u'idlgnlflod suit in a jus
tice court for nn unpaid bill. The person
bringing suit is plain Jacob Coliou , tailor to
his baronial highness. Mr. Cohen says that
ho came to him und ordered u vest und pair
of pnutnloons. That the common goods were
too cheap for the baron and consequently ho
ordered cloth that retailed ut $8 per yard as
Iho only titling material to clothe the scion
of n hundred onrls. Mr. Cohen madu the
clothes and went to the extravagance of pur
chasing a glass of boor in celebration. of the
boom In hU business.
The latter step proved un Incautious ex
penditure , ns Mr. Cohen dnclarcn that ho has
boon loft In the lurch. Not only have bis
most expensive goods boon consumed but his
lime aud skill wasted. Ho therefore has
commenced suit In Judge Levy's ' court to
force the English lord to nay the bill con
tracted.

Tttu Biu. : | The now Central Base Ball
oaguo mot hero today , bat owing to peculiar
circumstances was tumble to get very far
nloug lu the matter of organization.
The original Spoas call was sent to Mil-
wuukco , Minneapolis , Kansas City , Omnhu ,
St. Paul , Toledo , Detroit , Indianapolis ,
( Jrand Hnplds nnd Columbus. It v/os
expected that nt least eight cities
would respond. It seems that another lenguo ,
to bo composed of cities east of hero , Is pro-
jccted , and a mooting has bcon called for
January 17 nt Columbus. The latter city
has Been undetermined whether it would join
Issues with the now eastern or the proposed
Central league , nnd Indianapolis and Toledo
have been quietly waiting to see which way
Columbus would movo. Gus Schmclz was
hero to represent Columbus , but was not empowered -
powered to register his club as n member lu
the now organization.
Milwaukee was represented by President
Ivorson , K. W. McGutre and O. H. Cush-
mnn , St. Paul by J. M. Bennett , Omaha by
Joe Garnoau , Kansas City by John Spoas ,
Ed. Martin and L. C. Krauthoff. Minneap
olis was found to have two representatives.
Snm Morton showed up as the representative
ofsomo moneyed men in Minneapolis and
Henry L. L. Hnch appeared to represent
hlnnelf.
Did I.Lttle Towiinl Organl/lng.
It appears that there Is some dissatisfac
tion over the management of last year's ' club
In that city , the .snlo ol Shugurt having
caused a deal of comment unfavorable to
Hach. Morton , as n consequence , readily
found backing for n now club. "Baron"
Huch , however , scorns to hold the tup hand
by virtue of controlling the only available
grounds In the city.
Toledo and Indianapolis were not repre
sented , und lelograms sent to them brought
back evasive answers. In this emergency It
was decided to effect a temporary organiza
tion and refer the matter of a circuit to a
committee. John W. Speas of Kansas City
was elected president and Bob Loadloy of
Detroit secrotarv. K. W. McGulro. J. W.
Spcas and Gus Schmolz were appointed a
committee on circuit , with power to call an
other meeting of the league nt any time it
saw lit.
It was decided to arrange with the Na
tional league for protection. The circuit will
no doubt bo St. Paul , Minneapolis , Kansas
City nnd Omaha in the west , Columbus ,
Milwaukee , Indianapolis and Toledo In tao
east. Bob Loadloy speaking for Detroit said
the people there would not have nny minor
league ball , nnd Grand Haplds sent no word
of any kind.
For ll N'ii\v Xiitlomil AiriTiiH'llt.
Thcro was some talk in a confident vigor
ous sort of fashion nmong tno delegates about
"protection. " This was duo to the fact that
wbon the Central is organized and when the
proposed Eastern league gets on Its leot ( If
it over does ) a now national agreement will
be made , whereby professional ball will be
once more brought under ono Danner. Young ,
Phelps nnd Honors are the gentlemen of the
big leaeuo who have this matter in hand.
They have Invited Mr. Kranthoft to colabor
with them In the drafting of th'o new agree
' " " '
ment.
Mr. Krauthoffvas a great factor in the
conception and execution of the agreement
that was ir.ado a year ago at the Fifth.
Avenue hotel. Ho is a man of ideas , and
his help will materially assist the others.
It is also understood that the feature of
drafting on the minor leagues will be elim
inated. This will really make tno new agree
ment vcrv similar to the original aeroemont ,
the basic principle of which was the reserve
rule.
I'lfnty of I'lttyrrrt Available.
An Interesting feature of this affair is the
question of players. The now league , when
it is organl/.ed , will not bo in want of good
material. With the consolidation of tbo
National league nnd tbo American association
recently at Indianapolis. live clubs
wuro "thrown nut. Tno league had
eight clubs and the association nine. That
footed up seventeen. When the reorganiza
tion was pdrfectod on n basis of twelve clubs
tbo players of live club's remained to DO
taken care of. At the rate of fifteen players
per club , that would give sevcnty-tlvo
players to draw from.
It Is to he berne in mhiL1 , too , that the
adjustment at Indianapolis left free quite a
largo number of men to sign wherever \hoy
pleased. As this is tbo formation of nn en-
tirnly now league , all former reserves by and
contracts with clubs in other orgunlzallons
nro really abrogated , and all clubs outoriucr
the now league enter on n now basin. This
will bo of great benefit to the now league ,
because the salaries of uall players generally
have dropped from - . " > lo 50 per cent within
the last thirty days or so , owing to the Indi
anapolis treaty.

AIIKU.OV , Kan. , Jan. 7. The bloodshot
arising from the long continued trouble It
southwestern Kansas is not yet ended. Dcp
uty sheriff i have partially avenged thn doatl
of Sheriff Dunn. It Is not known to bo a
positive fact , but It soomt more than likely
that us n result of the attempt of the dcp
titles to'bring the slnyors of tbeshcrlff to jus
tlco nnd force nn expiation of the murde
four of the outlaws were killed this nftor
noon.
The reports , however , need nonflrmallot
before absolute reliance cnn bo placed upot
thorn. Sn far as U known , those nro the facts
A courier arrived here at noon , Just it
fiom the south line of the state. He report
u running conlllcl between tbo HceltiR ties
poradnos nnd an armed posse of pursuers
According to his report there wore two
wagons leaded with fittcen of the men par
tlclpatlng in Iho cauyon battle. They hut
been encamped In a gulch south of Spring
Hold , whore they were discovered. The ;
saw their pursuers at nboutthu same momon
and then commenced the life mm death race
Kept l'i ' | u Kiiiinlng right.
For ton mlles the two parties were no
within firing distance , but just before dtisl
the pursuing party came within loss than :
quarter of a mlle of the desperadoes , am
then llring commenced. This running ligh
was kent up on a level plain for a dUtanco o
four miles. Following one fusllado four men
were soon to tumble from their seats In the
wagons , ono In ono and three in the other
It could not bo ascertained whether they
were killed or wounded.
The pursuing parly , finding that tholr
Jndod horses would not carry them further ,
made a detour of half n mlle to n rancti ,
where they procured fresh horses , and the
race was resumed. The courier started back
from That point. Ho .says the pursuing party
numbered fourteen men , would follow the
desperadoes into No Man's Land , if neces
sary , nnd bring them back dead or alive.
Another courier is hourly expected , unO
wltti him the news of a battle in which ono
side or the other will have sustained serious
loss of life.
The scones In this county nro feared will
bo repeated in each of the other counties.
At 1 o'clock this morning a young man
named Estcs was'nrrestod ' nt his homo in
Fargo and brought hero where ho is hold by
the troops. It is alleged that ho was one ol
the party attacking Dunn and kllliuc him.
Out * Incident of the Trouble.
Ono of tbo inciaents of Ibis trouble was
the ride of Joe Larrabeo , ono of the men with
Dunn when murdered. After the tight Lnr-
rabeo with throe others were chased to and
into.Springflold by seventeen of the murder
ous gang , and although within reach of the
singing bullets , they escaped unhurt. Un
daunted by his experience , Larrabeo started
out to arouse the country. Ho rode back to
his own homo , changed horses and then
struck out. Ho rode from Sprlngileld to
Ilugoton and called upon Sheriff Conn to aid
in beading off the escaping gang , and Conn
promptly summoned a posse , but refused to
clo anything until ho rode back to Fargo and
held a conference with Judge Dotklu. This
would taico him out of the chase. It was al-
ledged that Conn desired to uid in the escape
of the Stevens county members of the gone.
Larrabeo then rode back to Arknlon. Ho
made tbo trip of 110 miles in- loss man eleven
noun , rested four hours and then started out
again.
liotlcln Did Xut Open Court.
Governor Humphrey today in ado inquiries
as to the reason wtiy tbo court at Springlicld
had not been opened. Judge Botkin bad
g lvon notice that ho would opou court yostor-
aay and ncnln today. Instead of doing so ho
went to Pratt today to attend the funeral of
Dunn.
The result Is ono company of militia is
now nt Springfield awaiting the pleasure of
Judge Botkin , In the meantime aiding the
deputy sheriffs In making arrests of the men
engaged in the battle. For those over thirty
warrants have been issued.
Thi-so arrests uro out the bocinning of another -
other trouolo not. anticipated. All tbo war
rants were made roturnublo to the justice of
the peace nt this place. Tlio mou are to be
brought here as fast us they are arrested and
confined awaiting the pleasure the county
attorney. It has been alleged that it their
preliminary examinations were held In
Springfield the prisoners would nil bo re
leased , therefore they are all brought to
Arkalon. The jail Is nt Springfield , so the
prisoners nro held in a vacant store room , in
which the troops are quartered.
Two moro prisoners , C. S. Anderson and
J. J. Lunch , were brought in this afternoon ,
nnd ono boy , Robinson , was released. There
nro now live men bold under guard , and the
prospects are that no examination will bo
hud until twenty of the loading members of
tbo supposed organization have boon ar
rested , nt least such is the wish of the
county attorney.
IViir Further Troublr * .
As ono of todar'a prisoners is the chairman
of the Hoard of County Commissioners , and
Is also n loading alliance man , and all the
prisoners so far belong to the alliance , grave
fears are felt by Anjutunt General Roberts
and tbo people hero that a rescue will bo
attempted.
An attack by thirty or forty well armed ,
determined men could result only ono way
the release of the prisoners and possibly
bloodshed. The situation is beginning to uo
alarming. If Judge Botkin had opened his
court when ho should have done &o , part of
Lho force ut Sprlngileld could have been re
lieved und sent here to reluforco the prison
guards.

John W. Talbot , apprentice en board the
Baltimore , was the Ural witness. Ho was
one of the liberty party on December 10. Ho
stated that C. W. Ulggln , the boatswain's
miito , ono of the killed , was with him In the
afternoon. About ! ) o'clock they wont In'.o n
saloon called thu Shakespeare In the southern
part of the town. The proprietor ordered
them out , declaring that n mob of disbanded
sailors and soldiers were preparing to attack
the Daltlmoco's men , nnd ha did not want
tiny trouble In his plnco. Ulggtn and Tnlbott
laughed nt the warning , but loft the place
and wont to the True lilnu saloon. About I
o'clock , coming out , I saw Klggln being
threatened by the Chilian sailors in mon-of
warunlform. I ran across and tried to separate
them. Ono of the Chl'.luns ' spat In my fnco
nnd I knocked him down. Instantly the
crowd of 1UU people appeared In tbo street
and wo started on a run , but soon Jumped on
n passing car. The mob followed nnd stoned
the car , and wo wcio Instantly surrounded by
the mob. I saw Uiggtn fall nnd tried to roach
him , but was stnubed In the back , nnd turned
to run. After golmr n few blocks 1
turned Into a doorway , and was ngnlu
stabbed in tbo back. I trot In , however , and
got Into n corner nnd defended myself with
n chair. Ttio mob followed mo and'a Chilian
sailor in a man-of-war uniform .stabbed mo
again. The bartender Ilimlly put them
out and barricaded the door. The
mob clamored outside for ml mitt mica
and after an hour , n policeman nrrcstod me
und took mo to Jail. Ho disguised mo by
substituting a hat for my sailors cap with
the word "Baltimore" on it , so the mob
would not notice that 1 was an American
sailor. The oftlcur turned mo over to two
other policemen , who struck mo .several
times , although I was making no
resistance. I had no anna of any kind
and was perfectly sober. After
a snort timein jail , I was scut to a hospital
with Hamilton , Pan tor und Davidson , all
badly hurt. Wo were kept there for four or
live days and then sent to the ship , where 1
was In the hospital forty-flvo days. None
except American sailors wore attacked by
the mob. This ended Talbot's examination ,
and the commissioners look a recess.

The next witness was Jnmos M. Johnson ,
armorer of the Baltimore. "While silting

were killing our men outsldo and warned
not to go out. I wont up stairs
nnd looked out of n window , nnd saw thnt a
man was lying face downward in the middle
of the street , with two or three policemen
nnd a mob around him. They were slabbing
him in ihu back as ho Iny thoro. The
police made no effort to stop them.
I loft the hotel and went to the
placo. The man was Boatswains Mate Hlir-
gin. I turned him over and found Iho pulse
still faintly beating. I gave him n glass of
liquor , and a moment after ho locovorcd nnd
said : "For God's sake , .Johnson , tnko ma
out of this before they kill me. " 1 lifted him
nnd drew him to ono side , when I enw n
squad of soldiers approaching , followed oy n
mob. When wltlltn six foet/ the soldiers
ilrod two shots. Ono crazed my loft cheek ,
another struck nigcln in the neck nnd his
head foil from my shoulder , as if
his nock was broken. I had backed
against the wall , but seeing Klggln was
dead , I slipped off to the side past the soldiers
and irot back into the boarding house. I saw
