Another quick job of tracklavliig was done
jcsterdn > moinltigon the Union t.'iml ami
Improvement compitii's ralhvny nt the cor
ner of Ktghttcnth street and Avenue A. 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.
I'nt thn Old Hulls Hick.
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.
Sneiiri'ly Illnckcd the \Viij.
Last evening tlio motor company took al
possible pi eenutioiis to pi event their woiko

IT IS DYING VERY HARD
Little Evidence That the Strike of the Eock
Island Telegraphers is Over ,
MEN ARE FEELING GREATLY ENCOURAGED
Ycitrnlny'n Drirlopnipiils Seem AH In
1'nvor of Iho btrlkprs The Situation
nt Stuart Sonic Dlllccn Are
Without Operators.
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.
Chief KanisJV sent out ono bulletin fiom

Tori KV , Kan , Dec. 11. 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. 'Iho Western Union receives mes
sages to many points on tbo Hock Island
subject to indefinite delay and it is impossi
ble to get commeieial or news dispatches
from those points.

At PowhatUn the operator left his key

drove their cattle to the Missouri Pacific
station , seven miles a way , and shipped them
over th it road. At present tlio station is
locked up and it is impobbiblo for tbo fanners
to get their io.il and supplies , and it rcmilns
to bo seen who can hold out tlio longer , the
fin mots or the comp m } . Those who are in
the movement are the leaders of the point-

the piominint farmcis of the county.

The catitntn wn ? riding along the
banks of Hlllttto cieok , Aii/ona , oiVo
fine day in the jcarlb72 , whoti ho saw
ti big VUck hawk * Ho followed the
bir'd and ut ti dtfttanco of about flvo
miles from camp ho found it perched
on a dond limb of n tall cotton wood
troo. 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.
It is now included in the Smithsonian

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. It would bo a booming para

the construction o ( a complete network
of irrigating ditches should make irri

Hin ] Thotiial of Ira D Walker , for the
murder of Hank Unetl In the Hig Horn
bisln last June , icsullcd last week lu a vcr-
dlct of ncquiltal.
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. "
