CITIZEN TRAIN'S ' BIG BLUFF
History of His Claim that Ho Owns a Slice
of Omaha.
HOW GEORGE P , BEMIS GOT HIS WAGES
Ono Ills t'ny Dny In Ton Your * Whrn Ho
Wat I'rlVHto Secmtnty lo 11U
Uncle TriilnVitn In u
Mttdlionjic.
Ono of the residents of the southern part
of the city , who has heard the declaration
made by Gcorgo frauds Train , that ho has
the title to n largo part of Omaha and could
foreclose nt any timn , has written to Tun
URB for Information as to whether thcro is
any ground for the statement In fact.
Tno history of George Francis Train's real
estate career In Omaha Is found in n very
complotn form In the records of the district
court for Uouglas county.
Away back ! n the CO's , when the tormlnu *
of the Union Pacific railroad was located in
Omaha , Mr , Train purchased 234 acres of
land In what .becamo Credit Fonder addi
tion. The amount ho actually paid Is
boliovcd to bo nominal poislbly $100. Ho
K.IVO a mortgage to Samuel E. Hogers to se
cure the payment of nine notes , aggregating
$21,000 , payable In nine annual Instalments.
Thocondltionsof the conveyance were that if
'tho ' notes weco paid the deed should bo con
sidered canceled , but If any of the notes
wcro not paid at the tlmo they wcro duo the
deed should bo and remain In full force.
In January , 1873 Mr. Hogers commenced
suit on the notes , alleging that not a dollar
of principal or Interest had been paid. The
case dragged along in the courts until Juno
13,1874 , when by stipulation the tlmo was
extended for three years , the original In
debtedness and interest amounting at that
time to ? 'i'J,000. This amount was made into
notes , which were to draw 10 per cent In
terest. This was not paid and the property
In question was sold bn July G , 1870 , nt
sheriff's sale , the proceeds amounting to
(40,070 , or $2,000 less than the amount then
duo.
Ono I'ny Dny In Ten Yearn.
Almost Immediately after the sale of this
property George P. lieinls commenced suit
against his undo , Georeo Francis Train , for
tlio sum of $47,000.80 , which ho alleged was
duo him for services as private secretary to
Train. The petition alleges that Air. Train
had hired hU nephew on November 15 , IStj-l ,
an his private secretary nt a salary of $5,000
n.yeur , and that ho remained in his employ
us such nrlvnto secratary for a period of ten
years , being a faithful employe , carrying
out the plans and wishes of tils employer
And often 'undertaking hazardous duties.
An exhibit was published showing in detail
the accounts of the private secretary for the
ten years , leaving a balance at the tlmo of
the suit , Including unpaid salary , Interest
und cash advanced of $47,000.80. Inasmuch
.is no defense was made judgment was given
the plaintiff by default , and on January 27 ,
1877 , ton acres ot ground belonging to Ci'izeii
Train , located in section 0. township 15 ,
range ' 13 , were sold tosutisfy the execution in
I'uvorof his ex-privuto secretary. Mr. Bemis -
mis was thu liighcst bidder and secured the
ton acres for $1,000. ,
llu Knuw n Good Thing.
This property was the northwest quarter
nt the northwest quarter of the southeast
quarter of section 0 as described above and
Comprised the tun acres lying cast of 1'hlr-
tioth strcotand south of Maple , property that
bold a few years after it came into Mr.
3cmls' possession nt from $1,200 , to $1,500 per
lot , cut five lots to the aero. Mr. Bcniis
also secured at the sumo sale forty acres of
laud that had belonged to Mr. Train in
Platte county , bidding tnerefor $500.
Both of these sales were properly ratified
by the district court for Douglas county ,
thus effectively removing any claim that Mr.
Train may have had In the property.
At the prcscutftiino ho has not a shadow
of title to a fodt of land In Omaha.
CVl'ho plea has been made frequently by
tCitizqn Train that the foreclosure above
mentioned is void , and that ho is still the
rightful owner of the land. Ho claims that
Bcmls took the procedure aforesaid while ho
( Train ) was incarcerated in an insane asy
lum , and that the judgment "did not count"
for this reason. Citizen Train still labors
under the hallucination that ho yet owns the
land In Question , and that was what
prompted him to make his bluff at Boyd's
theater during his recent lecture. In fact ,
however , Air. Bcmls took possession of the
property in the manner above described.

SHOT A BABY.
TlcoldeBS Shooting of n Spnrtninnn Koaults
In A Sin ! Accident.
G. P. Palmer and a party of live others
were returning to Omaha yesterday noon
from an unsuccessful huntincr trip.
While driving cast on Military avenue -
nuo Mr. Palmer fired a load of
heavy bird shot into what ho supposed to bean -
an unoccupied store at 4823 Military avenue.
The loud went in over a transom which was
partly covered with boards and struck the
celling. Ono of the shots glanced and was
imbedded In the skull of Churlov , the year-
old baby of Frcd.Johuson , a grader , who oc
cupied the room with his family. i
'iho ; child was lying in bed at the tlmo'nnd
its mother was loaning over it , but the latter
escaped unhurt.
Mrs. Dr , Hoinirod was called , but she was
unable to extract the shot without danger
lo ( ho child's ' head , so firmly was the lead
burled In the bouo.
It Is expected , however , that the child will
recover without the extraction of the load.
The affair happened outside the city limits ,
and u complaint will bo lodged against Pal
mer before a justice of the peace. Dotcotivo
Savage arrested the sportsman , and Detec
tive Hudson gathered the evidence for the
prosecution of the man. Fred Johnson , the
father of the child , says that after the shot
was tired he opened the door of the house
and called to the parly to stop , which they
refused to do.

PROSPECTS OF A BIG STRIKE
Union Pacific Employes in Convention As
sembled Discuss the Proposed Oat.
WILL RESIST FURTHER RETRENCHMENT
.
rinln Tulk from rroinlnont Member of n
llnllwny tlmthorlutml McottiiR of the
American HalHvuy Union Vcitcr-
iluy Probable Ilcaults.
It is the consensus of local opinion among
rnlhvny brotherhoods that If the managers
of the Union Pacific nulro.id attempt to un-
force the proposed out in the wages of their
employes they will doubtless precipitate n
strike which will stou every wheel on the
system from moving. This decision was
reached nt a largely intended meeting of the
American HutUrny union In Oato City hall
yesterday afternoon.
It will bo remembered that the managers
of this road called a mooting of the lending
representatives of the various labor organi
zations of their employes In order to discuss
plans for retrenchment. Nothing dollnito
was done at this meeting , but n few days
afterward n circular was issued from Union
Pacillo headquarters saying that a
certain per cunt of the salaries of
tin men would hn taken off until
tin financial affairs u ' ao road bccamo In a
better , , condition. Sir.co'thcu thcrohns been
many meetings of the men , and It has
discovered that the majority of thorn wcro
opposed to any reduction. The cut was to
tnko offcctvthls month In most of the de
partments. The organizations which had
agreements with the company that no re
ductions should take place in ( heir salaries
without Jlrst receiving thirty days notice
were served"with thisliotlco "on the 1st of
the present month.
Uittormlnntlon of Orgnnlrcd I-nlor.
A meeting of organized railwav ctnnloycs
was culled and hold yesterday. Nearly
every man employed in the operating depart
ments or the Union Puellle road was present.
and the hall was packed to suffocation with
men who seem determined to resist to the
bitter end any attempt at reducing their
wages. Jlatiy speeches wcro inado by the
members. The question was considered
from nil standpoints , und there was no ex
citement or ill fooliue exhibited. The men
are inclined to regard tlio matter In the
light of any other business proposition which
might affect their wages : If a vote had
been reached before the mooting adjourned
there is no doubt but tlmt it would have
been unanimous against the proposed reduc
tion.
" Ono of the men who attended the meeting
sold to n Bnn reporter : "Business is pick
ing up and as most of us are doing two
men's work now I don't see why our wages
should bo reduced. It is hard enough on us
now , for things have been chanced so that
switchmen only make from 500 to Slio per
month where they used to make $ S3 and
didn't have to work so hard , cither. When
the company is making plenty of money the
managers do not offer to increase our wages ,
but when dull times strike them they always
begin their retrenchment by cutting down
our pay. Wo nro also of the opinion that if
they are allowed to cut down ourwagcsnow ,
that it would be a long timn before they
would offer to restore our pay to what it is
now. These reductions never affect the men
who receive largo salaries us much as they
do the laborers who i < oa vo small enough
wages at the best. Tn o the section men
for Instance. They luvvo been receiving
$1.40 per day. They are now cut down to
$1.15 for work out on the road and $1.25 for
work in the yards. These men cannot work
all the tlmo , owing to' bail , weather , and
whin from $4.80 to $7.0 ! ! is taken off from
their wages m ono month it soon ahipunts to
quito a sum. Wo arc thoroughly organized
and will resist any attempt to cut our wages.
Will I'resont tin Ultimatum.
"Engineers are now hauling nearly twice
as many loaded cars on each trip as they
formerly did , and it is not an uncommon
right to see ono engine hauling from thirty
to forty loaded cars or forty to llfty empties
in ono train. If the engineer loses time because -
cause of the heavy load he has behind his
engineho is compelled to make a report to
headquarters from the Jlrst stopping pluco ,
und sometimes they get 'jacked up' because
they cannot make schedule time on the trip.
Wo are earning every cent wo get from the
company and most of us cannot see why wo
should accept smaller wages. Nearly all
the members of our union are favorably in
clined toward the proposition that wo lend
the railroad company from 15 to 20 per cent
it our wages each month until it
is in ix position to repay the money. A com-
mittco from our union will wait on the gen
eral manager and other officials and see if
they will accept . u proposal. Wo bellovo
that this would lo a fair und equitable
method for all concerned and would prevent
any squabbling. If they insist on enforcing
the proposed reduction wu will all stand to
gether in opposition to any such move on the
part of the company. "
The members of the union did not come
out plainly and say that they would strike ,
but they were emphatic In saying that they
would oppose the attempted reduction. Just
what action the officials of the road will
take remains to bo seen.
NEV-7 BRIDGE PHOJEOr.
Otilct Aifltatton ( or u Pontoon Acroji the
MlHHimrl Illver.
A proposition to build a pontoon bridge
across the Missouri river from South Omaha
to Lake Manawa is being quietly agitated by
a number of well known citizens who are
largely interested in the prosperity of South
Omaha. One of the propositions is to have
the city vote DJiidn to pay for the building of
the bridge , and another is to ralso money
by organising a company. These who havp
looked into the mutter say that a satisfac
tory bridgn could bo constructed for from
$15,000 to $20,000. If the brldgo is built by
the city no toll is likely to bo charged , but if
it Is built by n company it Is quito likely that
a toll of 5 cents each way will bo exacted ,
The proposed alto would bo at about the
foot of N street. The city limits run clear
down to the river , so there would be no dlf-
llculty in securing right of way. The people
over at Munuwa dcsiro to have the structure
built and will do every thing to urge the mat
ter along.
"U would bo a biq- thing forSoutli Omaha , "
said a prominent citizen , "und I bollovo the
proposition is a feus ! bio ono. My Idea would
bo to have the city build the brldgo. Wo
could ruiso money on long time bonds , and if
it was thought best wo could charge n toll
for u few yours. By doing this tlio brldgo
would soon pay for Itself , It would open up
this market nil the people living over on
the Iowa sldo for miles around and look at
the traflU wo would got from Omaha that
would como around this way. Aa for the
lake itself tlicro Is no prettier body of writer
In this section of the country. There is no
danger of L.ako Manawa over running dry ,
und if a bridgu was built the management
of that resort wnilrtfno doubt spend thou
sands of dollarn Iniiiing the place up In ele
gant motroK | > litruritylo. "

PRAISE AND PHAYER8.
Kov. I'nttcrsnii Sny that Peoples Are Der
elict In Duty to tjii.l.
Rov. J. M. Patterson , at the First Presby
terian church yesterday morning , delivered
an eloquent sermon upon the need of more
pralso and thanksgiving in this world for the
blcssincs that come in various forms , He
said that ho know people that returned
thanks one aay in the year and "croaked"
the 8G2 others. This ho beliuvcd was en
tirely wrong ana especially in ti'o Christian.
Ho thought that the mission of tlio Chris
tian , ( is intended by God , was to infuse love ,
brightness and sweetness into everything.
Ho gnvo encouraging words to those who
suffer and wlinm misfortune has
visited , and urged them to bo
thankful for the sins overcome
and blessings given. Victories corao singly ,
Mid as each ono is added to the Christum
lifo they all swell ttio list of these achieved ,
and when comes the final triumph then
would thcro bo the greatest of rejoicing.
Until this tlmo conies , however , the pruiso
and thankfulness should not bo forgotten for
the single victories. Ho boliovcd that
prayers were answered , und there should bo
thankfulness for that. Ho illustrated this
fact by describing the loss of Paroah and his
army In thu Hed sea , when tlio waves wore
parted to permit * the Isiaclltos gaining the
promised land ,
Kov. Patterson said the Christian duty
was to look at tno plcturo as It presents
itself , and that the richest of pralso and
thankfulness should bo given for the
prayers answered and sins overcome.

Judging the future by the past , no Baking Powder in the
near future will in any way approach the superior qualities and
purity of
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
The Queen of all the Baking Powders in purity , strength ,
wholesomeness and efficacy. The favorite in every kitchen.
Dr. Price's is a Pure Cream of Tartar Baking Powder , and
so pre-eminently superior to every other that it must remain
without a rival in the future as in the past

MARKET HOUSE PROJEOP.
Thu 1'coplo Will. Hiiro nn Opportunity to
Doclilo the Uncstlon.
The voters of this city will have the op
portunity nt the approaching election to au
thorize the issue of bonds In the amount of
* 2JO,000 to bo used in acquiring tlio tltlo to n
aquaro to bo dovotcd to market house pur
poses.
Tno council has onicinlly approved of this
proposition by adopting the report of tlio
special market house rommlttoo. The com
mittee found upon Investigation that Iho
sum | of $3,000 was too largu for the erection
of u market house on Capitol avenue bo-
Twelfth and Thirteenth sti-eots in * accord
ance with thu plans submitted by the in- ;
ncer , and Inadequate If u structure such as
would be necessary to carry out the sugges
tions of the Knights of Labor was erected.
The Knights wanted the building of stinl-
ciont height to permit of the top lloor
being transformed Into a public hall. This
would necessitate a mpro commodious and
bolter constructed building. For thcso rea
sons the members ot the committee con
cluded that n market liouso square should bo
acquired nnd n permanent building erected.
An cstimato of the probable cost of such an
enterprise has been placed at # 2.)0KK ( ) and
tlio people will have the opportunity by their
votes to determine whether u permanent
market house Is wanted nt this time.
