The police claim to have discovered the
brute who assaulted 14-year-old Christina
Chvlstcnson of Council Bluffs on Sunday
nlghib-nn alloy near the Mercer hotel In
this city.
The accused is William Roberts , who lives
at Eighteenth and Martha streets. Ho has
collected the money coming to him irom n
paving contractor and lied the city. Oflicers
are hot on his trail.
Additional facts gathered by the ofllccrs
Sunday night nnd yesterday nro that Chris
tina came over to Omaha to meet
her sister and go to Courtland
beach. Thcro was another girl with
her sister. On their arrival at the beach
the two girls mot Olllo Horton , Will Robarts
and another young fellow whoso name is un
known to the ofilcors. They scraped up an
acquaintance with the two older girls , but
Roberts did not make much of an imprcs-
slon on Christina. About 10 o'clock the en
tire party came down town on the same cur ,
and when the girls got off at Fourteenth and
Douglas streets Horton and his unknown
friend took Christina's sister and her friend
home , leaving Roberts and Christina nt the
corner. It was then that Roberts induced
the younp girl to walk down street with
him to the place whcro ho committed the
assault.
Yesterday Detectives Snvngo and Dempsey -
soy went to work on the case and they dis
closed the identity of the young iitfllan
before evening. They went to Christina's
sister , who works for Mr. Holmes nt Eigh
teenth and Blnnoy streets and got a good
description of her escort , who turacd out to
bo young Horton.
Will Roberts had spent the evening at
Courtland beach and said that Horton had
made some remark about going homo with a
girl who lived at the last named corner.
This gave the ofllcers something tangible
to wont on , and they found that Horton and
Roberts worked for a paving contractor in
South Omaha. They wont thcro and found
that Roberts had been there nnd collected
his pay. They went to the homo of the
young man and were informed that ho baa
como home , packed his grip and had not
been gone more than l\\ciily-livo minutes.
His mother said he remarked that ho was
going to the World's fair.
Identified thu Picture.
The ofllccrs secured a tintype of Roberts
which had been taken with two other young
men. This picture was taken to the polleo
station and handed to the girl. She wns
asked if she knew any of them. She imme
diately placed her linger on Roberts' like
ness and said : "That is the man who as
saulted mo. "
The Identification wns complete , and Do-
tootlvo Dempsey went to Council Bluffs to
watch all outgoing trains , while Savage
kept watch on this side. They did not
catch the young man , but olllccrs all over
the Country have been notified and ho can
not lone cscapo apprehension ,
Christina's father and sister read of her
misfortune in Tin ; Bcnnnd visited her at the
matron's ofllcc , where she remained all day.
They were much excited .and the father de
clared ho would take the law into his own
hands If ho should meet Roberts , The girl's
father is tin employcof the Chicago , Milwau
kee it St. Paul Railway company. Ho is an
industrious man und keenly feels the unfor
tunate position in which his daughter has
been placed.

First TriiRody to Occur Among the Home.
itonkcra ,
AIUCANSAB CITY , AUi. 23. Tno ilrst murder -
der perpetrated on the Strip since it has
been closed by troops occurred Saturday
morning twelve mites southeast of hero.
The body of M. Jaggerson , a man CO years
old , who c.imo bore iu May from Iowa , was
found two miles from his camp. There was
a largo , ragged liolo in the back of ibis head ,
having evidently been mndo by a largo rlllo
ball. Jaggerson bus been on the Strip over
since May , camping with a man named G.
M. Cwinn and his mother. They have been
making hay and soiling it In Arkansas City.
There Is much mystery as to the killing.
Thcro is an organization , which makes It ,
part of its business to go after sooners
wherever found , and it is likely that some of
its members nro hold responsible for Jag-
gci-son's death , No inquest was held , as
Coroner McDowell , who wont after the
body , has no Jurisdiction in the Strip.
Old-timers hero predict that there will bo
many more personal encounters and more
bloodshed at the opening of the Strip than
when Oklahoma opened. The country is full
of sooners. and the feeling against them is
very strong. If any of them como out to
register they will be closely watched nnd
will bo prevented from re-entering if pos
sible , 'ihero is sain to bo a sooner scheme
on foot , however , by which parties outside
the Strip will got cortilicates for sooners
now.in and take them in , the scheme being
used to get townsito locations. The sooners
are located mainly along Turkey creek and
other small streams running' into the Ar
kansas river ami along the borders of the
Ponca nnd Otoe reservations. The sooner
question has demoralized honest home-
seekers. The troops are very inadequate to
handle the matter , as only one troop of
cavalry , containing sixty men , is hero to
handle the whole Strip , lmt _ the four troops
of the Third cavalry ordered by the depart
ment at Washington to proceed from Fort
Riley to the Strip will Imvo much to do to
check the sooner movement.
„
Fifteen hundred people will start from
Denver in a day or two to locate on the
strip. They nro not unemployed , but have
plenty of money and intend going into now
towns. Two hundred carpenters from Chicago
cage and Kansas City came in this morning
with tools , tents and horses. They will locate
in new towns and be on band to commcnco
building operations. The baggage depart
ment of the Santa Fo is receiving an odd as
sortment of freight , chielly composed of pro
visions , in their baggage cars. It is the
property of homescokers and was checked
through from points in the east. The
owners evidently thought that provisions
were scarce out hero. The Missouri Pacific
brought in thrco car loads of Boomers this
morning , one from Missouri , one from Wis
consin and one from Nebraska. Boomer
wagons pass almost continually through the
town on the way to camps along the rivers.
The trains continue to como in crowded with
men of ull conditions who are encumbered
with batrgugo nud who belong to the town
lot contingent.

CHICAGO , Aug. i8. ! Immediately after roll
call in the national commissioners 'meeting
Commissioner Mercer arose to n question
of privllegciandl made n vehement denial of
the charges made acainst him that ho at
tempted to extort money from an exhibitor.
Ho concluded by asking that n committee bo
appointed to Investigate the charges.
Commissioner Becson then took the floor
nnd denied his guilt in the same matter.
A resolution was adopted calling for the
appointment of n committee of six to make
inquiry into the scandal. In compliance
with this action , President Penn appointed
Commissioners Touslev , Twing. Massey ,
Exnll , Allen nnd Wiggins on the investigat
ing committee. Then John Boyd Thatcher ,
chairman of the executive committee on
awards , came forward with affidavits from
the ofllciuls of the Carey Safe company ,
charging that J , F. Higbco had demanded
flV-'UO from them for securing a favorable
award Jor their company. The commission
did not receive the report , but instructed
thu executive committee on awards to find
out the facts.
Mr , Higbco declared thn charge to bo
false. Ho said it would bo aDsuru for him
to ask a brlbonf nn exhibitor with whoso de
partment ho had nothing to do.
So'.Telary Dickinson received a letter to
day from Actimr Secretary of the Treasury
Hamlin , im which the latter Informed him
there was but * ' .Ki,000 of the money appro
priated by congress for the expenses of the
Columbian commlsplon remaining unused.
This being the case , and us the net of congress -
gross required n llnal 'report of the results
after the close of thu fair , another session
would doubtless be necessary and funds for
the expenses should bo reserved for their
payment. Ho therefore recommended no
further expenses bo incurred at the present
time. Thu letter was referred to the financial
committee.

CHAKGE3 AGAINST BALCOMBE.
Couiicllni'inlo CommlUaa Iliislly Conducting
a Itlcld Investigation.
Following in the footsteps of former city
councils , a committee consisting of Councilmen -
men Munro , Howcll and Wheeler met in one
of the committee rooms last night at the
city hull for the purpose of investigating
charges that had boon made against Street
Commissioner St. A. D. Balcombo. In detail -
tail , these charges were to the effect that Mr.
Balcombo had had favorites in the street
gang aud that manv of the men had , been
driven about like slaves.
Last night's meeting developed the fact
that Joe Ivent , the struct commissioner's
superintendent , was the street commissioner
in fact and that ho was the man who had
been plying the slave driver's lash , if any
had been used.
John Penny , a foreman who had worked
under Kent and who had been discharged ,
was the Ilrst witness placed in the box.
Kent had told him that he proposed to make
a gang of ten men lo.ul a wagon every four
minutes und that if they did not do
that they would be discharged and no ques
tions asked. One night ho toU wiinossi that
ho was laid off because there was no work.
The next morning a number of new men
were given employment. In fact , witness
thought a great many of the old tune men
had been llred. Kent had entire cnargo and
Balcombo was never on the work.
The witness denied that ho had over gone
upon the streets making charges against his
superiors , though ho know of his own know
ledge that Kent kept men and boys to curry
beer , and that upon one occasion ho was
drunk. Mr. Penny denied that the members
of the street gang ever employed boys to t
carry beer for them , as charged by'Kent.
Kent visited Penny where ho was work
ing on the street and told him that bis ser
vices would not bo needed any longer ,
'How do they work the men ? " usked Mr.
Munro.
"Tho men have to bo on the work ou time ,
and work ton hours , or they are docked , "
answered Mr , Penny.
"Aro they not paid by the hour ? " asked
Major Wheeler.
"Yes , they are , nnd got pay for the time
they work. I was always particular to give
the men Just the time they worked. "
Witness had talked with Malor Balcombo ,
who told him that ho had nothing to do with
the work , as everything was in the bunds of
Kent , ho never visiting the handling of the
men , Nets Peterson had been in the struct
commissioner's gang for one year. Kent
told him thitt there was not enough work
und some of the men would Imvo to bo laid
off. Witness had always put in ten hours ,
was paid by the hour und for the time ; he
worked.
W. 13. Allen had worked in the street
gang for two months and. under Kent two
ilays. Ono day ho was In Dave Itowdcn's
gang and laid off an hour to help an old
soldier help make out bis pension papers.
When witness returned Kent laid him off ,
telling him that ho had been Intoxicated.
This the witness said ho denied and , de-
innuiled nn investigation , which ho never
made. Kent , however , told him that no
other man would take his place , but , not
withstanding this , witness was al
lowed to renmln idle after several -
, eral new men were sot to tyorlc.
Prior to Kent's administration witness had
worked ten hours per day , the time dating
from the leaving of th > : tool house , but after
that , time commenced when the men reached
the work , thus putting in from twelve to
fourteen hours per day ,
A. D. Kengam testified that ho had been
on the street gang for several months.
Ho had worked under Kent for the period
of two months , when he was discharged to
make room for u new num. Olio Monday
night witness was laM oil aud the next
morning a mnn named Duggun took his
placo. Kent told witness that ho was laid
off in order toi maka a place for
a man who tdirt been Idle for
more than six months. Witness was
paid ! IO cents nor hmmfor himself nnd team ,
Thcro was never anjt talk aoout shortening
the hours In order twgiro work to more men.
\Vltncsshadnovcr made any complaint to
the street commissioner.
Mr. Penny wns rdc.tlloil nnd stated that
Kent had laid off three foremen. The wit
ness know Allen well ! and nlso know that
ho was not drunk otutho duy before ho was
laid off , though Uomlcn wns in nn * intoxi
cated condition. Witness thought that
there wore botweonlthlrty anil forty men in
the employ of the city In the street commis
sioner's gangs. Most of the men wore mar
ried and depended wholly upon their wages
for thcit support. As witness understood the
situation , everything pertaining to the street
nnd sidewalk repairs was solely in charge of
Kent.
The members of the committee will hold
another session Wednesday night , at which
time they will trV to conclude the Investiga
tion.

Last evening the opening session of the
Nebraska date tricoting of the Christian
church , which Is now being hold at the First
Christian church , corner ot Capitol avenue
and Twentieth street , was mainly devoted
to a general handshaking and ' -getting
acquainted. "
The session will extend until Friday oven-
ing. The delegates present are from every
town In the state and represent a member'
ship of about UO.OOO , Omaha claiming 1OIX , ) of
these , who regard this annual meotini ? of
their church us one of thu big events of the
year.
The Omaha congregation last evening
furnished an excellent lunch , free to all
visiting delegates , In the basement of the
church where the meeting is being held.
It was fully half past 8 o'clockboforo the
meeting was called to order. Prayer was
offered by Hev. W. T. Maupln.
Hov. T. 13. Crumblott , p.istor of the First
Christian church of this city , made the
introductory speech of "Welcome" "on be-
h.Uf the church. " During the course of his
remarks ho took occasion to rotor to the fact
that perfect harmony existed among the
several congregations of the denomination
in tills city and that whcro harmony existed
the church was suri to prosper.
Councilman W. A. Saunders followed Mr.
Cramblett with an address of welcomc.in DO-
half of the city , in the opening part of his
speech. Mr. Saunders Hung a well merited
bit of sarcasm at Omaha's magnificent
union depot which drew forth smiles from
his listeners. Mr. Saunders called attention
to Omaha's palatial buildings , such as thu
New York Life , BUG and city hall , of which
the citizens were justly proud. Ho extended
a cordial welcome to the visiting delegates
aim was sure that their week's stay would
bo made pleasant.
Following Councilman Saunders , ox-Gov
ernor Alvtn Saunders delivered nn address
of welcome "on behalf of our homes. "
lie particularly impressed upon thn visiting
delegates that whilst in Omaha they must
make this their homo , in the proper sense
that the word home is used. Governor
Saunders was warmly applauded at the con
clusion of his snort speech.
Hev. K D. Humphrey of Hebron , Nob. ,
made the first response , "In Behalf of the
Missionary Society. " Mr. Humphrey laid
special stress on the fact that ho was not at
all surprised at the magnificent reception
tendered the visiting delegates , us it wus n
well known fuel ttiat Omaha never did
things by halves.
Kov. H. A. Pallister of Howard followed
next with a response "On Bcbnll'
of the Ministerial Association , " and
ma-lo some very haup.v remarks ,
which elicited gcnoi-al > applause , especially
when 'tno reverend gentleman nUuiied to
his lanlr and. loan appearance , whereas if
the truth bo told the reverend gentleman in
question is of that peculiar build generally
attributed to city couucihnen aud other
civic oftlcinl * .
Owing to the absence ot Kcv. A. W.
Thomas of Aurora , there was /no response
offered in bchali of the SunU.iy school as
laid down in the program.
Mrs. C. W. Henry of Lincoln spoke in be
half of the "Christian Women's Board of
Missions , " which comprises ix membership
ot about 1.200 ladies. *
Hev. Cliff it. Cook of Lincoln being another
absentee , his place was taken by Kasr. U.
Bower , of Ashland , who was introduced
as the youngest preacher of this denomina
tion in the state. Notwithstanding his youth
Mr. Bower mndo a most excellent response
on behalf of the Young People's Society of
Christian Endeavor , and , Judging from the
applause which greeted his remarks , he
certainly made an impression on the conven
tion.
tion.This
This closed the evening's program , with
the exception of u few announcements bv
Kov. T. K. Cramblett.
The lady delegates who constitute about
half of those present will moot this after
noon at SiUOin the b.isoiiifiit of the First
Methodist church , corner of D.ivenpoit und
Twentieth streets.
This mornings session which commences
at 9 o'clock will start the real work of the

cations , ' will be u most lute-renting one.
Among the delegates at present in Omaha
are some of the most eminent preachers and
workers In the Christian church , men and
women who have clovotuil their lives to the
upbuilding of this denomination.
