W. O. Pollock , a New \ork diamond Im
porter , was shot , clubbed almost into in
sensibility nnd robbed of 15,003 worth of
diamonds on the St. Paul express on tbe
Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis . < c Omaha
railroad. Just thii side of California Junc
tion , last ovcnlnr.
The robbery was ono of Iho most delibpr-
ntoly planned and uccc > sfully executed
crimes ever committed in Ihe west , and in
nolnt of nerve and oaring is nlmosl without
vreccdcnt lu the criminal annals of tbo
sou n try.
The whole affair was the work of one tnaa
who had evidently followed his victim until
Iho lime selected for the consummation of
his daring scheme. To carry it into execu
tion was but the work of n moment , and
before the bewildered passengers could fairly
comprehend the enormity of the crimn that
had been perpetrated before their eye * or
lift a flncer to aid the vlc'ltn the daring
criminal had leaped from the swiftly moving
iraln and disappeared , with the chttertng
motive for Ihe dnod safely In his possession.
rotloireil Mini from diniiha.
Mr Poliock arrived ia Omiha Thursday
evening and registered at the Millant hotel.
Ho called for his Dill yesterday afternoon
nnd took the 0 o'clock train for Sioux City.
There were perhaps a dozen passengers in
the car when the train lefl Council BluiTs
nud nearly as many witnessed the brutal
crime.
Among the passengers wbo took the train
nt Omaha was a slight , well dressed fellow
wllh full blacl : beard who took a seat some
distance behind Pollock and seemed lo keep
bolh eyes on his movements.
The conduclor iu charge of the train was
' Dad" Ashraore , one of the oldest conduc
tors on the road , nnd it was not long before
his attention wai attracted to the stranger's
actions. He did nnt think nnvthing of it ,
however , excool to notice that be appeared
nervous and seemed to pay u good deal of at
tention to Pollock.
Cot In III- . Work ( tulrkly.
After leaving Missouri Valley Ashmore
went forward into the baggage car. The
dark bearded stranger got up end paced rest
lessly up and down the usle. When thoirain
was about two miles Ihls side ot Califoinia
Junitlou ho wcnl deliberately forivara anil
sat down beside Pollock. Hardly a minute
elapsed before tno sound of four pistol shots
in rapid succession was heard aoove the roar
and rumble of Iho train. Tne stranger had
suddenly risen in bis seat , drawn a largo re
volver from his pocket nnd blazed away al
point blank range. Il would seem lhat the
robber wished to carry out his purpose
-.vlthoul adding murder lo hU cri-nes , if pas
sible , for lha Urn two shots penetrated each
of PollocK's nrms above the elbow.
Tbo diamond merchant was taken at a dis-
ndyanlago , bul notwithstanding the painful I
wounds in his arras grapplediwith bis assail
ant. T-vo more shols followed and Ihls lime
the robber , rendered desperate by bU vie-
urn's resistance , directed his aim full at
PoIlocK'shead. In thostrugglo beshol wild ,
neither bullet taking effect.
Ho pulled the trigger again and as the
weapon refused to answer bo seized it by Ibo
barrel and rained blow after blow upon tbo
skull of his almost unconscious victim.
"II n Your Moriry. "
I Pollock told him to take bis money and
t Eparo his life.
'
"D--n your money , " retorted tbe robber ,
/ "plvo mo the diamonds. "

f look the pocketbook containing tbo Jewels

I suatcncd tbo diamonds which wcro loosu In
M one compartment , of tbo wallet and started
% for the door.
Po'lock , though nearly Insensible , retained
V his erasp on the clothing of tbe thief , wbo
W dragged him with him in bis flight.
A .liiinppil from I ho Train.
The whole affair hardly occupied a minute ,
J BiiC Ibo passengers had nol sufficiently re-
L ciiverH their presence of mind to come to
f Pollock's ' assistance , Most of them had
broKe for tne door as soon as tne shooting com-
H rconccd and as the robber shook off Pollock's
grip Conductor Ashmoro entered tbo car.

I-ill lor k Did Not Care to T.ilk.
Mr. POMOCK did nol feel much llko lalklnu
nfter his painful experience , but subsi > n.
tinied iho slory as given above. He was cer
tain that the Ihlcf had bson folio win i ; him
for I lie express purpaso ot robbing him of
his Jewels nt ibc Ilrst opportunity. IIJ siU
thai al nrst be uJKed him for his money nnd
bo banded him a wallel containing $100. Th9
robber r plied tbal that was not what ho
wns alter and immediately openoJ lire. Ho
seemed to know exactly where Iho diamonds
wcro concealed and reached them at the first
attempt. Tno passengers wore too badlv
scared to render anv assistance and Mr.
Pollock concralulalcs himself thnt be gel
awayallvo.
llrnlnliin OliI llinrr.
Kvcrv lciidont of the crime pocs to show
that the thief Is a criminal of remarkable
cleverness' and nerve. Ha had studied tha
habits of his victim nnd carifu'lv ' nottd In
which pocltct ho concealed his valuable sam
ples. Kvcn In the excitement of nls escape
ho did not lose his nerve for an instant. Not
ouo man in a thousand would have thoucbl
to release tbo airbrakes in the midst of bis
race for liberty. But ho had probably laid
out bis plan of action while waiting for his
opportunity to arrive , and calculated that bo
would be able to sufficiently cbccu me move
ment of the train to escape without difil
culty.
In this he was balked by the prompt pursuit
of the conductor. But ho preferred death to
capture , and did not flinch a hair as bo
leaped out - thu 11 vine train into the un
known darkness. Ho was luck ? , too , for
those wfco saw his leap for libjrtv declare
that it could not bo done successfully ono
tltno in n thousand.
No Clew , of Course.
There Is not the slightest clew as to the
Identity of the nervy ttilef. Uoth the con
ductor and Mr. Poilock agrej that he
n M dUcutsed nt the time the crime
was cam mined. He xvas small and slight in
figure , not over live feotsix inches ia beigbth
and apparently would weih about IOC
Ho wore n large slouch hat , pulled
well down over Ills eyes , and a light overcoat.
It is impossible to pet an accurate descrip
tion uf his features as thov were mostly con-
ccalod by the wide rim of hU hat and by a
heavy black mustache and beard , which
were evidently false. Trainmen de
clare that no living man coult !
leap fro-u a train going at that rate of speed
at the place where he alighted without re-
ccivin ? injuries that would prevent him from
getting very far away. How true their
theory mav bo remains to bo seen. The man

people is certainly a man who will not D

At the .Millard hotel Mr. Pollock is known
as a regular guest ou hU semi-o'ccasiona
visits lo lac city , but no one ever suspectc
the u-atuic of his business. Ho Is very quic
and undemonstrative in his bablls and man
ncr , and it is thought that tbo thief mus
have shadowed him before ho came t
Otniua on ti.ls trip in order to have found
out tbat ho carried such valuable jewelry on
bis person.
Chief bcavey received a message from
Superintendent Hughes of the Elkhorn Val
ley road conveying merely the bare fuct of
tbo assault and luo robbery. Tbo chief at
ODPO called in bis trusty men and put them
oa the case. Sergeant Sigwarl telephoned
the fovr facts known to the authotilics at
Council BluiTs , South Omaba and Blair.
About midnight bergeant Slgwart visited
the injured man in his room at tbo Millard
hotel and had quite a talk with the patient. A
description of the manner of tbo robbery was
given and a sort of description of the robber.
berceaut Sipwart returned to the jail after
tne interview und telephoned tbo thief's des
cription to nil of the surrounding towns and
to all of the local police. Kvary effort was
mnde by the Omaha police department to
spread i bo news of the robbery amonc tbo
sberuTs end marshals of the surrounding
counties and also auioug tne railway con
ductors.
All approaches to the city bava bean or
dered guarded aud it will be a hard matter
for the daring thief to eiUr or romilc long
in this section of the country witboul being
arrested.

rive years azo Mr. McPoaU of Arapahoe
was elected treasurer of this county. He
tirld the poiition for two terms , and bis ad
ministration of tbo office has always been
supposed to bo beyond n reproach. At the
expiration of hU oftlcUl career last January
the Ifbar'l of
County Commissioner ! 'exam
ined bis work for the fourvcars and made an
olUcial statement that all was correct. The
new county treasurer lu the course of bis
duty discovered that the sctool fund account
was short and another Investigation was
called for. This resulted in proving that the
books were in u most deplorable condition.
In tula investigation Mr McPeak bad ac-
L-USI tJ tbo books cud assisted in the work.
After ibis settlement tbo boobs were again
found to bo incorrect aud the balances by

It shows that the borfUs are short over f 10-

TOPEK , Kan. , Nov. 4. [ Special Telepram
o THE BEE. ] Tno deliberate ntlcmpt of tbo
democrats to snub Mrs. Least ! bocnuaeot her
utcrvi wscorinv tbo democracy of Ibo
south has resulted in a clash between the
van us democrats and populists which may
up the fusion arrangements lu Ihls
state. Tba trouble cui mi listed in a row at
General Weaver' * mediae al ihe Grand
opera house lasl cvoninp , which lurned oul
to bo the richesl thing of Ihe campaign. Il
was advertised jointly by Iho democrats and
nopunsls. The opera house wi * crowded.
Chairman . C. Jone , , of Iho democratic
state ceutrul committee , was introduced
as the chairman of tbo meotl&e. Two other
democrats , John A Eaton of Winfijld and
John H. Atwood of Lsavonworth walked on
iho pla'.form to keep Jones company. A
dozen olhcr luMen democrals hnd njreed lo
be Ihero also , bul Ihoy failed lo show up.
Wllh Ibern on Iho plalform were Senalor
Peffer , General Weaver , Mr % . Lease , Judge
\V. C. Webb , Waller Allen , Jim Lsgate , and
a few more distinguished populists , as well
as about 125 other populists , not quite so dis
tinguished.
The opara house was crowded with over
2.003 people , but it soon became apparonl
thai democrats were scarce. Abaut l.OJO republicans -
publicans were present and the others were
populists. Chairman Jones opened by intro
ducing General James B. Weaver , who spoke
nearly an hour. Ho devoted almost bis entire -
tire speecD lo an argument in favor of the
government ownership of railroad' , nud
Jones and Atwood bad lo swallow ll all.
Iut Mur > * * Nosu Out uT.Ioliit.
Weaver , in closing , paid a hich
compllmerl ! to Mrs. Lease and said lie would
now introduce her , but Chairman Jones
scorned to think there hnd been enough ra-
lamity [ , and stepping promptly to the fronlot
thu plxiform introduced Jobn H. Atwood ,
tbo Lcuvcnworlh democrat.
tlli Mrs. Lease IOOK Ibis as a snub. She was
lib a bad humor an } way. Her name had
liP omilted from all the posters and oflicial
programs advertising tbe rally , and this
too in the face of the fact thai she hid been
with General Weaver from Ihe dav he
ouined his canvass. She nnd reason to be
lieve this had boon done purposely by some
IIP her political enemies in the nemocratic-
populisl crowd , and al tne afternoon meeting
at tbe fair grounds she had taken occasion
to roast tbe "would-bo politicians" who had
attempted to croud her out of this meeting.
To make the thing worse , AtuooJ , who
thought tbo democracy had been snubbd ,
turned in and made u rcc'nol democratic
speech , devoting his remarks larcely to the
force bill. He spoKd bitterly asaiust federal
supervision of election ! , apt : said the Led 0
bill simply IOOK away iho liberties ol Ihe
people.
He hnd been speaking nboal ton raiontos
wbcu Mrs. Lease's eyes Da an to flash. Al-
wood' * rvsulition cry ncainst a fuir election
bill was too much for Mrs. Lease who bad
only recently bad au opportunity on her trip
through tbe south to learn something bo-self
of tbe intolerant oourbon democracy. Pick-
ins un her hat aud cleat ; sbe walced quickly
off the platform , and General Weaver w ho
bad also eathered up bis nat , followed a mo
ment later. Mrs. Lease cojld hardly control
herself until she reached the side corridor.
.She Venlcit HIT IVolmir.
My God , they have got us into a demo-
cratac m'-eting. " she exclaimed ' -This i ?
enough to damn our p-irly. 1 tvon'l stand it. "
General Weaver was also anrr , but bad
oss lo say. Chairman Breldenthil , Judge
Welsh and other uopulists rubbed over to
Mrs. Lease lo quiet her , bul sbo could not be
calmed.
I can tell them sonctciucr about elections
in Ihe south , " sbo exclaimed , and then Chair
man Breldcnthal took ner to one side aud
again attempted to calm her.
In tha meantime the audience , wnich was
anxious to hear Mrs. Lease , had noticed ber
sudden departure from the 5Litre and imme
diately began culling for her. At\ oed had
spoken less iban iUtcea minutes nud was
only beginning to eel warmed UP to bis sub
Ject , bul wai unable lo go on without inter
ruption. Ho spolto two or three minutes
longer under great difficulty and was llnally
compelled to sit Jown.
The nun 10 DIM continued to call for Mr- , .
Lease , wbo was then back of the scenes en
gaged in a seance with Chairman Bralden-
tha' and other popullsls. Chairman Jones
attempted lo quiet ibe crowd by introducing
Senator Peffer , and Ibo senator was quite
willing lu speax , bul ibe audience still demanded
manded Mrs. Lease. Chairman Jones in
formed the croivd that Mrs. Lease and Gen
eral Weaver were obliged to take nn early
Irani and had left the hall. Tnis did not
snlisfy iho audience and when Senator Peffer I
advanced to the front of the platform they |
again called for Mrs. Lease.
Mr * . I.rano Made a sictrh. [
'I unders'and Mrs. Lease has left the city
on nn early train. " said Senator Peller. Du't
at tbat moment Mrs. Lease , who bad all ibe
lime been standing bonlnd tbo scenes ,
walked out on the platform and
was received with tremendous cheering.
Withoul receiving an introduction to ihe
auaiet.co bv Chairman Jones , Mrs. Lsaso
proceeded , lo speak. She tallied earnestly
and eloquently for about ten ralnules wllh
reference lo the issujs of the campaign anil
walked from the platform , bho immedi
ately went to tbo opera iiou oin corapinv
\v.th General Weaver , but before leaving
cot bold of Chairman Hrcidenthal aud pave
him a plcco uf her mind.
"My name was purposely Irft oft this pro
gram today and tbo name-of tucso demo
crats pul on , " she said rather excitedly ,
'and 1 have been obliged to bUbinii tnnplv
because 1 am a woman , bul 1 will gel even
with those n ho are responsible font. "
Ilirj- \\vrn All Ansrj.
But Mrs. Lease ivai not tbe only rne who
was angry. Chairman Jones ana Mr. At
wood tboughl Ibc democracy bad been humil
iated and tnubtrd , and nt the close of Mrs ,
Lease's address Jones picked up bis coat and
hat au < 1 wflluod out , leaving Ibe greal meet
ingvltboul a chairman. Atwood , ibe onlv
remaining democrat , followed Jones out of
tbo building , so tbo populists then bad Ibo
whole circus to themselves. Senator I'efler
then cot a chance to make bis speech. Ho
turned around to address tba chairman two
or tbrco limes , bul ibere wus no cbairmac.
A little later , nowerer , A , C , Hhinn , popu
list candidate- for elector , volunteered to take
charge of the meetln ? , and thincs ran
smoothly. Kollowiug Senator Pefler's
speech Jim Legate was called oul aud made
a abort talk.
Today both the democrats and populists
are angry. General Weaver left the city in
disgust , and it Is possible me fusion arrange
ment may be declared off.
