A rciwrt wns In tlieiilallon Saturday night that at midnight an attempt would bo made by the compani to cross the Council UlulTs nnd Omaha Uildgecompanj's tracks nt that place. A Ilr.n ropicscntntlvo p.ilil a visit to the loeallty at 1 I0a. ! m , but nothing unusual vvns to be neon AM hour and a half later a force of men arrived mined with picks , shovels and lanterns , ami after walking thleo hollis the Job w.is done The motor comp inj's tracks had bcentoin up nnd icplaced by a crossing uhlch con nected the p.nts of the Union I. , mil and Im provement compiuj's i.iilrotd north and Houth of Avenue A , vvhleh had been scpir- tiled by the motor tiacks over siueo tlio mcinoniblo Sutidny when they weio Hist put in , An engine was run across the now cross ing fiom the Huilingtoii tiaeks on the south , and showed the woik to have been done sit- isfaetorlly , and the woikmen left , leiviug ono or two of tlitlr number to put on the Mulshing touches. Quickly as the woik vuis done , however , It was no match for tint of Iho motor com- jinny's men , when It was icpoi ted nt lie id- quaiteis vvli.it hid been done The Hist tiain out , which should have m ulo a dlieet inn with UMclo Sim's west-bound mail , vv is delajed about twenty minutes by the work men.

As soon ns Manager fetouo of the motor line heaidwhat h id been done , ho scuta fouo of woiltliigmen to the spot , and Innvci ) few minutes tlio nice ciossing that had so recently been put in was a thing of the pint The old i alls wciotmt biekin their places and the new material belonging to Mr Paul's conipinv was piled up in a pile on cat h side of the street The woikmen did not finish putting the Hack in slmpo for use until late jestenlay afteinoon The haste and deslio for seeiesy that wcic manifested by the i.ilhoad company in putting In its ciossing seems to have been the result of Its inabllitv to niilvo.it any Hiitlsf.ictory iigiecment w ilh tlio motor coin- piny as to the tei ins on which the crossing should bo maintained. For some time prst negotiations have been pending between the two companies 1 ho motor company wanted the Union L md and Improvement company to agree to keep the flossing in peed i ep lir , it being the custom for the 1 ist comer to dose so , and to stop ovcr.v tiain before crossing the motor tiacks , as is alsocustomat.v among lailvvay companies These concessions Mr. Paul would not innlce , but ho promised Mi- Stone , so the latter claims , that ho would not take any steps tovvnid putting in u ciossing until sonio agiccment had been reached s ilisfnctoti to both parties Mr 1'aul was asked for an explanation by Mr Stone \pstcidiy afternoon , whereupon ho stated th it at 8 o'clock S ilm dav. night ho disposed of all his Intel est In the Union I. , md ami Impiovemcnt company to the Hist Omahi Liml compiny , with whom ho has commonly supposed to beat swords' points Mr. Stone was not disposed to put much re liance in the truth of the statement , but no better explanation made its appearance Mr. Paul , when asked bj a Hrr man fora state ment as to the tiuth of the rumor that he had sold out , refused to either deny or afllrm It. KensotiH for thn S iffgiiitilH. That theio was justification for the motor companj's insisting on the above mentioned safogu.uds in regard to the crossing is ov ! dent fiom mi examination of the lav of the land , .lust south of Avenue A thoie is a bleep incline for n block , anil .retrain going down this incline would veiy likely become unmanageable and do tcriiblo damage to the lives and limbs of the pisscngeis on the motor trains that are continually passing , unless the most stringent regulations weic adopted govetnlng the actions of the roids nt the crossing. List week , It is stated , n car got loose on the track south of Avenue A mid ran down the incline , running oil at UK end of the track onto that of the motor com piny and dclaving the trains for some tlmi bcfoio it could ho put back in place.

If the strike of the telegraphers on the Hock Island system Is djlng , ns the comptny claims , 11 is dilng mighty hard , and its obse quies aio likely to bo attended with consid erable of interest to the general public ns well as to the railroad company While the conlllct of icpoils still exists , the men claiming ono thing and the comp my another , it is almost certain that very little change has been made In the situa tion. The men do not hesltato to say they have the suppoit of the other railroad labor organizations , and thai they will have Iho mater III aid of sym pathetic stiikcs , If need be , to carry the point. At Stuart , In. , an important divis ion station on the main line between Omaha and DCS Molncs a union meeting or all the oinplojes ot the company ccnteiing theio was held Saturday night and the word sent to Omahn jesterday w as to the effect that not only the rilliotd men but the citizens were in deep sympathy vvlllr the strikers This latter fact Is evinced by tnu n-rusal of the cltl/ens to furnish food or other accom modations to the men sent to take the places loft b.v the strikers Another point the opcratois have made Is in the offer of Iho order to jtiy the stiikeis or the men emplojed to take their places the same silailcs as the company would and all their expenses till they can secure new sltuitions In response to this oiler the opeiatois at Stuait , two in number , left their work jesterdny and will ho in Omaha this mm niiig. One of tlio local committee told a Hi n man last night that oveiy man between Omaha and Stuait hill one , a boat Atlantic , vvas out ami coming to Omiha. Theio are about twenty-fourolllces between Omaha and Stu u t. Superintendent Still- well is said to bo woiklng both "tucks , " that is , daj and night , at Stu.irt now. The tepoit sent oui from theio iesterdaj was to the eflect that no height ttains v\eio being sent out and that passeugei trains weio gicatly delajed owing to the inibility of the conductors to seem o or dors promptly. After the union meeting on SUuulny evening the conductors and engineois declaied them selves as willing to strike nt any time they weio asked , and they did some pietty till talking about not running on ordcis taken by scab operators The plan of concentrating Ihe strikers at division points is being put into effect all nlong the line In the west. Division head- quaitcrsof thojndernro located at Omaha , bt Joseph , Kansas City , Lc.vvenworth , Den ver and Wichita. The plan is to get the men all collected , so that thev can suppoit ono another by their moral influence , and that they can doliv or the lliuiici il aid to the uneiiiploved with more facility.

The stilkc of the Hock Island telegraph operators , so far as it conccrnb the Chicago , Kansas & Nebraska railway , or the Hock Island in Kansas , ib not very effective. At all the larger stations the railwaj people state that either tlio old men have gone back or that now men have been engaged to taUo tbo strikers' places. At many small stations in Kansas , however , the road has been unable to 1111 the vacancies caused by the strike. 'Ihis is duo principally to the fact tb.it tlrosihuies arosmill ; that the tow us arc too small for ambitious men and the preju dice against those who take the strikers' places iserv great. Tbo sympithies of the townspeople are usuallj' w 1th the sti ikois to such an extent that new men arc whollj' ostiaciscd. The effect of the strrko upon the busrncss of the road docs not seem to be groit. Most of the trains are on time. Tbo effect upon telegraph business is more ap parent.

On noarlng the tree ho discov ered n bulky nest placed in n fork elo o to the main trunk and about forty Icet from the gtound. The ninto of the hawk < vhleh ho hud been following was sitting on the nest. With the Intention of robbery the cap tain climbed tip to tlio nest , in which ho found a single iialo blue i-gg , the parent birds incanuhllo circling about and manifesting their anger by shrill screams , lie put the egg , vvliioli was SIB big as a hon's cgir , into his mouth , nnd was about to descend when ho caught sight from his elevated peich of several Apache Indians urouchcd down in a lit- eau.vou about eighty jaids distant , They woio evidently watching him. It was a case whcio the only chance of safety lay in presence of mind. With out manifesting any signs of having made the alarming "discovery , tlio cap tain proceeded lo descend in as lols- urelv a manner as possible , still letalning the egg in his mouth. If ho had manifested symptoms of being in a huiry , the Indians would hnvo perceived - , coivod that they woio spied and they would have been waiting for the egg- hunter nt the foot of the tree before ho couid got down. In that ease death by torture of fiendish Ingenuity would doubtless have boon his fate. As it vvns , ho touched the ground in safety , mounted his hoi so and started for camp. In an instant the Apaches were after him , and they chased him nearly to the camp before abandoning the iniuuit. Ilo trot thoio all riirht , however , with the egg in his mouth. It was unbroken. Owing to Its iiugo si/o the captain had great clilllculty in trotting it out of Ills mouth without injuring it , but ho finally succeeded , though , as ho suyg , his jnvvs ached for some timoattorwards.

At Boise , Idaho , carefully kept meteorological data show that the hu midity of the atmosphere is increasing year by year. For several seasons fre quent rains have fnllon during July and August , the usual dry season. Hains have been most nlmiidant in sections of the state where irrigating ditches are most numerous , and the conclusion is that the moisture drawn to the &klos by evaporation is precipitated again in rainfall.

Hnnk Lovett was n fimlthe from justice nnd "a bad man , " In the westetn acceptation of the term Walker , a .vtnmg man of as j cars of age , was engaged In ranching , on sh ires , with a settler named Tankcisle.v , on Heaver creek Ho nnd l ovett were on fiicndly tcims until the latter took the notion thai Walker was acting as a spy on behalf of "whltcc.ips' ' Tbo iiotoiious Jack IJllss was then supposed to belli thobasiuami cor tain p.utiesatPaiiit Kockvveio known to bo hunting him in the Inteicsts of the law A visit paid _ b.v Walker to Paint Hock seems to have eon filmed r/nutt In his suspicions , and he de- teimiiicd to mn Walker out of the country Tankeisdcv , with whom Walkerwas woik ing , declined to send him uwav , and Uivett , who was a man of violent temper and me rt strength , declared that he would either diivo Walker out of tlio couutij or kill him To those unacquainted witli the icputu- ttnn of a poition of the HI' ? I loin basin Ttink- cislev's indiiloiciieo to the gr.lvitV of the situitionniav apiiear strange Ho mcicl.v ' I Lovett that ho wanted no tioublo on his . .nil , and tint if he wanted to can \ out his tin cat , he must find some other place to do it. and lie wained Wulkor of the tlueats against liis life Men of Unett's character and antecedents appear to be so plentiful In tliatcotintivtli.it it is undesirable to pit ) voko their hostlliti Walker declined to bo mn out of thocountij and icmaiticd , hut he went prepared lor trouble and kept a blight lookout A shoit time previous to the tragedhe found evidence th it Unett was ti.Uug to wavlay him .md kill him A few weeks afterwards a letter vvas received from Uivett alluding to Walker as "that nigger , ' and w.iiiiingT.mkeisley that unless ho Hied him theio would be a mtiuler on the ranch This letter was shown to Walker , so that when I. * > vetl was seen iipjuoithing the house the moining after , he was nut kip iling trouble. Arming himself with a shot gun , Walker lookup his position in the poieh , and ns Ixvett ) rode up , called to him to keep outside tlio fence ixnott had pioviouslj been warned hi Tankeisley not to tome to the house. However , hodisicgaidod the wain- ing of Walker , and came on , earning his Marlin rillc across his knees lluee limes the warning cr.v was utteied , and then l ovctt with .i string of oaths , declared ho nlvvavs went vvhei e ho pleased , and grasped his iillo with his loft hand. At thai instant Walker fired , and Unett loll dead from his hoi se. This vvas the stoiy of the defendant , to which the jmy evidently gave ciedence. al though the onlv peison who piofcsscd to liave seen anj thing of the shooting , diffeicd somewhat in his testimonTankeisley , md his wife aid not see the shooting at all , .is thc.v had withdrawn from the house on Lovett's approach. li t thu I..IM I'.iUo Its Course. Immediately after the fatal net , Walker who made no attempt to disguise the tiuth , gave himself up to the neaiest magistiate- , and after a piclimnnri heating , was held In S-700 bonds lo appeal at this tei in of com I. bince that lime he has been woi king fora well known tattle company in Wiommg anil Montana , and ho was the first to surrender at Uuftalo when the distnet court convened. 'Iho thcor.v of the prosecution was that Walker , w 1th Tankeisley nnd his w ife , had conspired together to minder Lovett and that Walker had been detailed to do Iho hilling. Some ( olorwas lent to their con- lenlion bi the absence at this Irial of Iho Iwo Tankersleys , who ha\o left tlio eounti.v , and whose evidence at the inquest and at the preliminary hearing was admitted bj stipulation To llioso acquainted with the Hue inwardness of the situation It isciy clear Ihal Ihoy found Iho neighborhood an undesiiablo ono in their position as wit nesses The name of Jack .Bedford , lately killed , It is supposed by vigilantes , near Bon.m/.1 , was broughl up m Hie case as , Ihal ot a friend and assoe-iale of II ink I ovell , and a letter found upon his body threw some addition il light upon the character of the class wilh which Lovclt associated. The piosccution contended that the two unkerslois had designedly placed them selves in a position where they would bo unable to witness what pissed between Lovott and Walker , and tli.it Walker , in stead of acting as ho claimed ho did , shot his unsuspecting \icliiii from tlio corner of Iho ranch. It rs dillleult to discover any motive rn so doing , and it is plain that the juii did not attach an > impoitaneo to this theory , as in less than ten minutes after leaving the couit rt returned with n verdict of "not guilty.
