Tim Bnu. ] Ono of tbo boldest altomptc
ever made to change tbo channel of the Mis
souri river is just now being made by cortaii :
Iowa individuals. Some years ago at r
point about ono ana ahalf miles north of this
nlaco the river began cutting In toward tht
Iowa side and has continued its change
until a largo bond has been made und hun
dreds of acres of Iowa soil added to tbo Ne
brasua shore. A few rods from the bond or
tno Iowa shore Mosquito creek winds Us
way southward through the Iowa botton
toward another big bona In the rlvor t
couple of miles below. In this creek the rive :
must soon iiud a now cbannol If the ranlc
cutting away of the eastern bank is not prevented
vented , and by taxing this course sovera

ruined and thousands of dollars damage :
douo. To chaneo the chaunol and stoj
further cutting away of tno eastern banl
these interested have rcsoveld on a bole
move which , if successfully carried out
would cost tenfold more damages to the Ne
brnska sldo than woula DO caused by thi
rlvor cutting a now channel through Mos
quito -0ik. .
A few days ago a number of men wen
quietly landed on tbo Nebraska .sldo am
at once commenced the \voric of digging i
canal sixteen foot acop from a nlaco on thi
south side of the point on the Nebraska sldi
and extending north through lapdiow occu

canal they expect to turn the river , thus diverting

Hut it Is hardly probable that tho' '

as its success would Insure the los

WHO WILL GET THE REWARD
Burning Question That Confronts the Fire
and Police Commissioners.
MONEY THAT 15 NOW IN GREAT DEMAND
It Was Ollercd for the Arrest and Con
viction of 1'atrlck tirHllth anil tlio
llcturn of tlio Stolen 1'ropcrty
liusls of Clulins.
The fact that Patrick Griflltb , the horse
thief , was shot and killed by Isaac Monl-
umery will never result In any litigation , as
a coroner's Jury baa exonerated Montgomery
and the authorities have about decided to
veto him a gold medal. There is , however , a
prospect of a law suit in slant , and it nil
comes on the question of who Is entitled to a
reward which was offered.
S. G. Stevenson has succeeded in proving
that the horse which wns stolen by Grlfllth
and was afterwards found locked m the
barn owned by F. A. Lewis , was his prop
erty. Shortly after the theft ho offered a re
ward of $25 for Iho return of the animal , and
at the same tinio the county offered a reward
of $50 for the arrest and conviction of the
thlof. Ureod on by the hopes of trotting
the money the police did a little
shadowing , but they found noth
ing but shadows. In this condition
everything remained until Montgomery laid
Mr. Grlfllth low. In fact there were no
startling developments until the stolen horse
was located in the Lewis barn. Immediately
upon tno discovery being made the paitlos
who claimed the reward were as numerous
as ( lies around a sugar barrel. The $25 had
been deposited with the Fire and Police
Commission , and for two days the secretary
of that , body has boon kept busy standing oft
Uio claimant * .
First there came Lewis , the owner ot the
barn , anil based his claim upon tbo fact that
ho was the owner of the property where the
horsu was found , nnd for that reason no
other person was in it on tbo money question.
This man was quicKly followed by a grocer
' "
boy who claims tb'at ho hoard" the borso
nolgb ono morning as bo was passing the
barn.
barn.Mike
Mike Maul says ho will have the money or
light. Ilo claims that as the custodian of the
dead bo should huvo had tlio horse immedi
ately after Grlftlth wns shot. If ho hud had
thoanimai ut that tlmo ho declares that ho
would have stopped up to tbo captain's desk
nnd picked olT the reward.
Churlio Mentor bases his claim upon the
fuel that after tbo horse wan found it was
taken to his barn and fed , which gave blin
thn right of possession , *
The two detectives , llazo and Slioup , are
also after the ir.ouoy , as thov claim that they
were the parties who led the horse from the
Lewis to the Mentor barn.
Frank Jacobs soya ho will have tno reward
if ho has to a pond 100 to got it and that ho
will take tha matter to the courts. Jacobs
wus the ma > i who saw the dotoctlvo * leading
tbo borso to the Mentor barn. Ho claims to
have told the ofllcors that the horse was
stolon.
H , G. Finch has filed his claim to tbo
money , alleging that the night before tno
norse was found thnt he had a dream. Ho
dreamed that a stolen horse was in Lewis'
itable ; inafaftor eating his breakfast ho
wont down town with the Intention of going
to the burn , but on his way ho mot iho olTl-
cors loading the borso away.
ti. V. Boutman , who lives two doors from
the Lewis barn , says that iho whole outfit
cannoi cheat him out of tbo reward , and thut
bo will nave It if ho has to die in the last
ditch , He consulted a fortune teller tbo day
beford tbo borso was found , nnd the woman
told him that he would bavo a streak of good
luck : that ho would have an increase in his
family or else be would suddenly como Into
possession of some unexpected property ,
Tbo morning that tbo horse was found ho
passed tbo barn and was upon tbo point ot
looking in when bis attention was called to
something clso. After bo got down town bo
again thought of iho barn , and was upon the
point of going back when a man told him
that tbo stolen bone had boon found lu the
Lewis barn.
Montgomery will lay no claim to tbo t25

county commissioners that ho was cntitlod
to the $50 that was offered for the arrest and

claim to the commissioners ho will charge
that ho arrested the thief , which fact the
commissioners will not dony. Ko far as tlio
conviction is concerned , ho will maintain
that subsequent events have jirovon that
Grlfllth was the thief.
The police will also claim the $50 , asserting
that b.v having found the owner ol the horse

An Old Cltl/cn Tulles About the Knrly
Dnya.
"Borao of these old milldlncs In Omaha
have an interesting history , " said J. A. lior-
bach , as ho stood Razing at tbo blue front on
the northeast corner ot Thirteenth and liar-
noy streets. "I used to have a lumber yard
on that , ground before the war and furnished
lumber for iho building of ono and two room
shnntlos for ninny of the men now living In
palatial residences in the stylish quarters of
\ho city. Omaha's capitalists who wcro
here then were young and poor , nnd were in
luck if they had a house with only ono room.
In 185S I conducted a general commission
and forwarding business , with a warehouse
down on the bottoms near where the steam
boats landed. I continued there until 1807 ,
and then built and occupied tbo building
in question at Thirteenth and Harnoy. I
carried agricultural implements and con
ducted a general commission business. In
1S71 I wont out and W. J. ICennody con
ducted the business until 18SO. Then cumo
Mumaugli & Mllligan , and after them Mollno ,
Mllburn & Stoddurd , both agricultural im
plement doulors. On their vacating I loused
the building to Branch & Co. , the present
occupants , for the sumo purpose na it , was
originally designed , namnly , a commission
business , Branch & Co. , however , make a
specialty of the wholesale oyster business ,
and in Order to moot the requirements of thai
business a good many changes have boon
necessary. Besides general repairs they
have enlarged the ofllco room , cut now
doors nnd windows , put in Ice boxes , olo.
Besides occupying the building they tuko up
a good shnrn of tbn sldownlu in the busy
season. They nro constantly receiving fruits
from all purls of the country besides tholr
oystnrs , and as these shipments arrive nnfi
are being taken Into the house others are
going out and what space Is not taken up oy
the fruit affords Just utanding room for the
crowd of buyers. Yes , the old building has
witnessed many changes nlnco it was built.
"Omaha has grown from a frontier town in
to a great city and if the history of that build
ing , ami the lives or the men who Uuvo done
business In it was carjlully written it would
make interesting reading , "

Mr. Cleveland explained to some length
hU plans for the Improvement of Eltnwooi

acres In extent , but the commission was in
favor of making it larger , if possible , and It Is
probable that the pond will eventually cover
ton acres or rnoro. The lake will

forming iho Chicago gas trust , in which ho
asks for a receiver. The Fidelity Insur
ance , Trust and Safe Deposit company

pository of the stocks of the various com
panies composing the trust. Tba latter
Is not included in the prayer for

to enjoin it from acting as trustee
for the allied companies. Tbo complainant
asks that all utocks hold by tbo company
under tbo contract by which tbo trust was
formed bo canceled and placed In Iho hands
of the receiver.
The allegations In the bill nro that the
trust it a monopoly , in contravention of puo-
llo policy and'operated as a stock jobbing
