Ltxcour , Nob. , Jan. 21. [ Special to THE
BF.E.I Considerable comment has been excited -
cited In Lincoln by the arrest on the charge
of embezzlement of J. Al. Murdoch , at ono
tlmo the manager of the Lincoln School Sup
ply company of this city. Mr. Murdoch wont
to California after severing his connection
with the company , and not a hint that no
was a defaulter was given out. Yesterday
ho returned to Lincoln and vlsltod the ofiljo
of the company. Hero ho became Involved
In an altercation with the members of the
company over the ownership of a. piece of
furniture. Later in the day L. II. Austin ,
W. J. Turner and C. H. IJohman wont before
Justice Spencer and swore out a warrant for
Murdoch's arrest. In tholr complaint they
charged him with having converted to his
own liso notes and bills amounting to S932.3I3.
The constable who was detailed to servo the
warrant had no dtllloulty In placing Mr.
Murdoch under arrest. As soon as the
arrest was mudo ho was taken before Justice
Spencer where ho gave bonda for hia appearance
poaranco on January 81 , his sureties being
II. M. Lcavttt nnd John Mclntosh.
Murdoch claims that the arrest Is a pteco
of spite work nnd that ho will satisfactorily
account for every plcco of commercial paper
which passed through his hands whllo ho
was connected with the company.
Suwyer SHU I'rotontn.
A. J. Sawyer , in whoso behalf it Is claimed
that telegrams have been sent to Washing
ton , urging his nppblntmont to the United
Stites district attornoyshlp to fill the
vacancy created at midnight last night by
the retirement of Bon Baker , protests in
emphatic language that lu > Is not a candl-
duto for the position and denies that any his
friends in Lincoln nro warming the tele
graph wires on his oehalf. Mr. Sawyer is
the recognized head and front of the iinti-
Bryan democracy of Lincoln. Ho was ono
of the democrats who worked for the nomi
nation of J. Sterling Morton for governor
the lust time that distinguished Nebraska
democrat \\as offered as a sacrillco , nnd ho
it was who brought Mr. Morton to Lincoln
during the campaign to make a two hours
speech on the Issues of the day , fifteen
mliiutcs of which wore devoted to tno Issues
nnd the balance of the tlmo given up to a
discussion of tlio silver heresy of Congress
man Bryan. S.xwyor's appointment would
undoubtedly widen the broach Between , the
Bryan und null-Bryan democrats of Lincoln ,
although his fitness for the place is gen
erally conccodcd.

J. D. Cnlhoun , the Lincoln editor , whoso
pungent criticisms of the present adminis
tration are Just now being read with no little -
tlo gusto by the men who are so bitterly op
posing his candidacy for the Lincoln post-
ofllce , stated to Tun BEB last evening that
ho had just received udvicoa from Washing
ton informing him that Senator Mandcrson
would assist the administration in the event ;
that the appointment of D. W. Huff was con-
teated by Senator Allen and other free sil
ver statesmen , us outlined in TUB Bnu'd
tpccial ad vices from Washington. Mr. C l-
houn states that ho can account for Mr.
Manderson's Interference jipon but one hypo
thesis nnd refused to state what the par
ticular hypothesis was. Ho deprecated ,
however , any struggle in the senate over
the confirmation p ( any man appointed to
the position for which ho was ah aspirant.

William Williams , residing at Thirty-
oishlh and Western streets , is the man
whom they asaaultod and robbed , according
to his story. Yesterday , however , some now
facts oamo to light which scorn to prove his
statement untruo. Ollleer Davis has been ,
during the past few days , malting a cavoful
soared of all ttio pawn shops In order to dis
cover , If possible , tuff watch and overcoat
xvhich Williams said were taken from him
on .the night of the robbory.
Yesterday morning Davis visited Pawn
Droltcr J. Koplan's place , 412 South Tenth
street. After the book was produced and
given a careful scannlnga memorandum was
discovered of the pawning of an overcoat
there ; also a silver watch. The goods were
next produced and Mr. Koplnn was asltod
something of the appearance of the Indi
vidual who put them there. Mr. Kcplan
said ho was a tall man with a light mus
tache and gave some llttlo Idea of his gen
eral appearance. A trip to the county Jail ,
where the alleged robbers are confined , was
decided on , Mr. Koplan being requested to
accompany the ollluors ; tho1 overcoat and
watch were taken along. At the jail Hlg-
glns and Murphy were brought out
and Mr. Kcplan asited It either of them had
visited hia place the past month. The pawn
broker looked sharply at the mon In front of
him and was very emphatic In saying that
ho had never seen cither of these men in
his store or , in fact , anywhere else. That
settled It for the present ; they returned to
the station and. after a short consultation , n
trip to Mr. Williams' residence was decided
upon. Mr. Koplan was very urgently re
quested to accompany the police on this oc
casion also , bringing , too , the watch and
overcoat. All got in the wagon und were
driven rapidly northward to the Williams
residence.
Said William * Wan the Alan.
The place reached , a knock at the door
elicited .tho response to enter. Hero Wil
liams and some Scotch friends reside , and
Mr. Koplan was asked if any of those in the
room had boon in his place of business re
cently and , if so , if an overcoat and watoh
had been loft there.
Without oven a glanno at the other occu
pants of the room Mr. Kcplan said , "That's
the man,1' pointing to Williams.
' You are sure ho Is the one ? " said the
oflleor.
' Why , as certain as I am that I am allvo , "
said Mr. Koplnn. "Ho has been doing a
p.iwnbroklnar business with ma for some
tlmo and this same overcoat and watch have
been pawned and redeemed several times.1 '
* A trip back to the shop was niado and the
book again consulted , and it showed that B.
Williums had pawned his watch October 10.
Tliii time ho received $4 on it ; itgaln on
November 27 , at 0 o'clock in the mornlnir ,
Williams brought in his watch and coat. He
got $ o.75 on both articles. Each of thcso
times the goodsiwere redeemed Nothing
again was seen of Williams till January 10 ,
the night of that day being the night of tbo
alleged robbory. On that date Williams ,
came to Kcplan's place about U iu the afternoon -
noon and put up his watch , and at 3 ho returned - ,
turned and secured S1J50 on his coat. This
was the last ssou or heard-of Williams till' '
some bold headlines in an Omaha paper an
nounced that feo.had been robbed and beaten
Jnto insonsibllltv near the fort. When
picked up after the alleged roubery is said
to have occurr-ed , it will DO remembered ho
did not bear a scar of any sort and only com
plained of an awful pain in his side.
ScninRO I'art or tlio Story.
Of the man Hlggins , AVilliams gave a per
fect description , and this is the strange part
of the story. Ho also described Murphy ,
but could only say that Murphy had kicked
him In the stomucn , and he was not so pos
itive abbut him as about. Higgins. Just why
he selected these two men and identified
them as having slugged and robbed mm , will
probably never bo known , but the conclu
sion was drawn by the police that "as Hlg
gins and Murphy had been in the habit of
going to the fort very frequently to get
something to eat , aud as Williams lives near
tbo fort , ho met these two men in that way.
The true facts in the case are that Wil
liams pawned the overcoat and watch him
self , and , becoming drunk , ho and his Scotch
friend started homo. They quarreled and
nearly came to blows several times , and
when near homo it is thought that they
finally did fight , Williams coming out-second
best , and as ho know Hlggmsand Murphy
and could describe them , ho thought It
would bo a good way out of his dlfllculty
and to recover his property.
It was with chniculty that Mr. Keplan was
kept from harm while in ' tlio house , und
Williams and his friend both promised to do
him violence. ,
What stops will bo taken in regard to
Williams is not announced.

Soon the police will have found enough
clothing to go Into business. Yesterday
Ollleor Kavoncamp recovered two cutaway
suits stolen from * Lindquist's ' tailoring es
tablishment some days ago. They were
found iu a pawn shop along with other stolen
clothing.
Grant Thompson , .colored , was arrested
for stealing thcso clothes and was Identified
by Pawn Broker Spoigle as the nno who
brought the goods to his plabo. Thompson
was charged with burglary and grand
larceny , nnd ho Is thought by the police to
know something of all the tailor shop rob
beries of the past two weeks.
There la another connected u ith this thiev
ing gang and ho is by far the neatest 0110 of
all. He 11 C. Ashford , also colored , and it
nils been known for some daya that ho Is re
sponsible fcr many of these thefts , but the
police have been unable to catch him. They
would got a clew when some now robbery
took place and then it would bo lost. Fi
nally Jio was located in Council Dlulls and it
was while endeavoring to Iwwn some clothes
that ho- was nabbed by the authorities
across the river. As ha had not stolen any
thing there , HO far as known , the Omatia
authorities were notified and Captain Cor-
mnck and Detectives Dunn nnd Donahue
brought him over. At the atatlou ho was
searched thoroughly , but only u paste diamond
mend and 25cents in money wore found upon
The clmrgo was made burglary uml grand
hircciiv. When asked if ho was guilty by
the Jailor ho said :
"I'll ' tell you more about It after a while , "
and his face lit up with a grin ,
Ashford is a well known crook and when
ho arrived at the station Qfllcor Dick Mar-
null pulled back his coat collar und aaw two
scars" . "Oh , I see , " said Dick , "you have
had these tumors removed. "
"What you know about any tumors ! " the
dusky Ashford asked.
"Don't you remember when you were last
here how you suffered with these tumors on
your neck ? "
The negro laughed , but had not a word to
say.
say.Ho was arrested some years ugo for burg-
Inrlzlng Jottlc Reynolds' pluco on Ninth
street , uml for this got three years in the
penitentiary. It was tho'ro that ho had the
tumors removed. Ho served some of his
tlmo , when friends intervened aud scoured
u retrial after his sentence. After much
tlmo ho was acquitted , limit hia | s hi * second
appearance hero on the police stage.
Of Thompson not much Is known , and this
Is the first time ho bus boon iu any trouble
of this nature.

coin 1'nrlc $ Jntli3ill t Church.
Last night's sorv cp t the Hanscom Park
Mothodlst church , b jjun a series of gospel
meetings which will continue for at least
two weeks. The pastor , Rev. W. P. Murray ,
is assisted by Her. ItN. . McCalg , who will
bo remembered as a f9rmor pastor of the
First Methodist church , of this city. For
some tlmo Mr. MoCalg has dovotcd his entire -
tire ttma to ovnugolic.il work in which ho
has been very successful , The church was
filled last evening and the meetings opened
with a manifestation of marked Interest.
Mr. McCalg spoke on the text : "If any
man will como after me. lot htm deny him
self and take up hi ? cross and follow mo. "
In the opinion of the speaker the text laid
down throe distinct lasts for dlsclploshtp ,
and in a regular order , Christ compelled no
one to como after Him , but to those who
were willing to do so thcso three require
ments were necessary * The very first ob
ject of the disciple must be to deny himself.
Christ had sot the example by being tra
duced and reviled and persecuted whllo on
earth , and so all who would follow Him
must oxpcct to have difficulties to overcome
and burdens to bear until the tlmo of the
resurrection nnd the ilnal glory.
Tliroo Text * Considered.
The speaker considered the three tests In
tholr order and first asked what was meant
by Aolf-dcnlal. Christ did not moan to do-
prlvo the body of its enjoyment and proper
usos. Ho did not mean that his disciples
should wear forbidding faces and ill-fitting
clothing. That was not self-denial , but self-
rlghtcousncs ; , which a good' many people
practised to make the world believe that
they were bettor than the world was. It
did not moan that the disclplo was to shut
his eyes to all the opportunities and beauties
of the world about him. Ho must not , how
ever , allow his attention to bo drawn to
these things which had a tendency to divert
him from his disclpleshlp. But this was a
principle that belonged not only to a Chris
tian life , but to every sort of life. To attain
success in any calling u man must
shut his oars to distracting voices.
This was but the philosophy of life and was
a necessary essential for any man to make
the most of himself. Self-denial oa Christ
meant it and as the church meant It today
was the cutlro surrender of one's self to
God. The man who truly denied himself
was the ono who believed that without
Christ ho was nothing and yielded himself
up to bo used for Christ's service ana to bo
known ns ono of His followers.
To take up the cross was always the next
step.m thoordor of salvation. No man could
take up his cross until after ho had sur
rendered himsoU to Christ nnd then it fol
lowed as a natural consequence.
Why Cromcs Are Ilcuvy.
The reason why some people were drag
ging their crosses along so painfully was
that they had their ha ds and hoa'fts and
eyes full of self. Taking up the cross was
simply being ready'to ' do1 anything1- that ono
could do for Christ" No ono could toll an
other what hia cptes Was. All had their
own personal crosses' , wlllch were peculiar to
themselves. J
The speaker wcnl'on ' to classify some of
the crosses which th'q ' disclplo of Christ
should bear. Ono was the business cross.

Destroyed with Content * .
The Union Paclflo received ad vices last
night that Its depot at Cozad , Nob. , was
totally destroyed by fire.
, At 7:15 the night operator noticed flames
issuing from tbo roof , but-as there was no
Jlro apparatus in the vicinity , his efforts to
quench the blaze , were unaVailing.
The lire is supposed tohave been caused
by a defective chimney , ns the root was
where the flames were first seen. To add to
the disaster a can of q l In thn freight room
exploded and caused the flro to spread more
rapidly. Tlfero was nothing to do but watch
the building burn and to suvo as much prop

burn was destroyed. All communication
with that placo.was shut off , the knowledge
of the flro being received from Lexington.

JACKSONVILLE , Jan. 21. It has finally boon
decided that the Duval Athletic club will bo
compelled to turn into cash the cheek Referee -
oreo John Kelly holds in trust for the winner
of the big fight.
Kelly todny waited on Jim Corbott at the
lattor's training quarters at Mayport and
had a long talk with the champion , Ur.idy
and Dolanoy. ICully showed the check ho
hold and remarked ho had hoard Mitchell
had entered a protest against flgfitlng for a
plcco of paper which by Injunction could
bo tlod up and made unavailable. Kelly
stated ho aid not care to take part In n
transaction which might terminate ai
Mitchell feared. Ho had no doubts as to
the sincerity of the club In the matter , but
ho wanted both principals satisfied before
ho loft for the scene of the contest. Ho then
flatly put to Corbott the question :
"Aro you satisfied to light for the purse In
ita present shape t"
The champion thought the matter over
for a moment nnd then answered : "I am
satisfied with anything Mr. Mitchell Is. If
Mitchell wants the nhoctc converted into
cash , ns is hia privologo , I see no reason why
it should not be dono. . It is not an unreason
able demand , and it will tend to promote
confidence in the contest. I shall back up
Mitchell if ho Insists the money bo put up. "
Must Cnsh the Check Tocliy.
Mitchell docs insist and there la noth
ing for the club to do but comply with the
demand. Tomorrow night W. A. Brady ,
representing Corbott , and "Bat" Mastorson ,
on behalf of Mitchell , will take Uofcrco
Kelly before the club and make a formal do-
in : uul upon the officials for the cash.
The arrangements for the fight are about
completed , although the location is being
kept within the confines of the club. In
order to bewilder the mind of the "hood
lum , " who is incidentally getting hero in
strong Individual units , the cmmlssarlos
have given out a dozen or moro places where
the light might bo held. The cucsa-
Ing ones are ut their wits' ends as
to the location , "and many and ludicrous
are the methods employed In order
to get the right placo. It has been decided
to spirit the principals away with their
parties some tlmo Wednesday afternoon.
Each will have a , special train of a Pullman
buffet car n'nd engmo , and will be pulled
away toward a common center by circuitous
routes. The most plausible theory is that
the men will bo taken to a point north of the
city near a neck of Goornia land , which puts
quite a distance between two strips of
Florida territory. The start will bo made
from this city early In the morning before
sunrise in order to give tlio fighters as much
time us possible in which to effect a finish.
Tlinlr Seconds No in Inn ted.
Corbott has consented to go into the ring
secon3ed only by Americana. They will bo
Jack _ Dempsey , Dehiney , Donaldson and
Brady. Al Smith will bo timekeeper.
There will be.but ono American in Mitch
ell's corner , Bat Mastcrson. The others will
bo Jim Hall and Stove O'Donnell , both of
Australia , and Harry Darrln of England.
Billy Thomson , who holds the watch , is from
Australia.
Jimmy Wakel.v , Teddy Foley , Ike Plant ,
Dave Blanchard , Jr. , and other northern
sports have arrived hero.
An attachment will bo served tomorrow
on Corbett's porsonal..propcrty at Mayport
for ? i000 ; for alleged damages to Mie property
occupied by the partv. The cottages used
for training and sleeping quarters are the
property of .1 micro Gibbons of the municipal
court and Claus Meyer of this city. They
claim that Corbott occupied the property
without the consent of the owner.
State's Attorney Hartridgo returned from
Tallahassee today after a consultation with
Governor Mitchell. Hartridgo suicl that the
governor had left the instruction of Sheriff
Broward to Attorney General Lamar and the
state's attorney. The attorney general , to
gether with Adjutant General Houston , will
arrive in Jacksonville" tomorrow or hoxt day.
The three heads will then bo brought to
gether , nnd as a result the sheriff will re
ceive orders.

Will Arrest Thorn Again ,
Mr. Hartridgo said that should the crowd
board a train , none of the railroad employes
would bo arrested , but ho would say nothing
as to whether the principals would bo or
not.
Among several attorneys of thia city the
opinion that Governor Mitchell intends an
important move on the morning of the 25th
Is gaining strength. They have an Idea that
Instead of preventing the flRht by moans of
the militia the governor will order the arrest
of Corbott and Mitchell on the charge of
arranging for a fight , which Attorney Gen
eral Lamar holds to como within the law pro
hibiting the arranuing for a duel. The
men were arrested several weeks
agoon the snmo charga , but
County Solicitor Christie is said to have
been acting under instructions from the gov
ernor , refused to introduce evidence and
the case , which was intended to test the
law , fell throuuh. The fact that the charga
was not pressed does not , however , prevent
the arrest of Corbett and Mitchell again on
the sumo charge. Should they bo arrested
on the morping of the 25th It would necessi
tate a postponement of the battio for ono
day nt least , und the mon would undoubt
edly bo put under heavy bonds to keep the
peace until the courts decided the legality
of the matter. This would effectually put
an onil to the contest. In case it was de
cided that the fighters were within the
limits of the law It is not probable that the
contest would then take place , ns the men
would be out of condition and the crowd
gono.
niltclioll In Had Humor ,
A report came up from the Mitchell train
ing quarters tonight to the effect that the
English champion , during hia exercises early
in the evening , had sprained nnd wrenched
his leg. The club this , evening sent n com
missioner to Anastnsia island to notify
Mitchell that a special car would bo in
readiness for him on Wednesday morning.
According to the Commissioner , when ho re
turned , Mltchall was in a very unpleasant
state of mind when ho learni-d what was required - ,
quired of him. It Is said that ho declares
ho would not light under the auspices of
such a club , and that ho had put up with too
many of their bluffs alucady , The com- ,
mlssioncr was then told of the in-
lurles which itho English champion hud
sustained. How serious they may be Is
not learned. Al Smith , however , came out
touicht with n proposition in which ho
offered to bet $5,000 URUlnst $1,000 that
ftpralned ankle or no , Mitchell would cot ,
into the ring with Corbott Thursday. The
Duval Club has Issued an edict In response
to the UHsertlons which Mitchell is said to
have made , Iu which the EncrlUhman is
ifevvcd with u formal wartime that ttio clue
\i-ould claim his forfeit of $5,000 If ho did
not appear at the point indicated in the orig
inal aummoni ) Wednesduy utOa. in. In ad
dition to this , it Is authoritatively stated
that the referee will award the V > ,000sido bet
to Corbett In that ovunt. There Is considera
ble other money which Mitchell would lose
if ho failed to subject himself to the oulora
of the Duval club.
Hut's llnnni for Clmdci.
ST. IxjL'ls , Jan. 21. Bat Musterson. the
well Known Denver dPortlng man , In a letter
to the St. Louis I'ost-Dlspatnh , states that
liopicks Mitchell fora sure winner. In his
letter ho says that in his opinion "Mitchell
iias boon the victim of moat unfairiind un-
HUortsnmnliko criticism at the hands
of Corbett and his henchmen. I do
not dcslro to have it understood I
ntn prompted by Mitchell In making this
statement , but I think it high tlmo
the American public hoard the other sldo of
the story , which , up to this tlmo , has been
ill in the ahupo of theatrical ndvertu-
ngi Mltghell Is not nil actor. Ho U A
fighter , and I think Corbott will have reason
to bollovo this before many days have
paused. Corbott appears to think it
will do him no end of good to
circulate stories concerning bis
prospective opponent which no man of
Intelligence would listen to for a single
moment. I know Corbett perhaps as well
as any man In America , and I say , without
the slightest hesitation , that Corbott Is be
ginning to roallzo that ho Is up against it.
nnd I really think If OHIier man U absent nt
roll call next Thursday it will be the Ameri
can champion. If cither of the two mon Is it
cur I think the finger of scorn will not point
to Charles Mitchell. "
Mastcrson then recalls tlio Corbott-Jack-
son mill , assorting that Corbott on that oc
casion showed himself to bo an nrrant cow
ard. Ho .draws iv parallel between the
holghth , roach , weight and cleverness of
the two putts and asserts that tlio chances
are all In Mitchell's favor , ills letter closes
thus : "Tiioro Is no moro clover , aggressive
or vicious man In the world than Mitchell.
Ho Is thoroughly cool-hciulcil nnd there U ho
trick of the lighting trade ho Is not up to. "

o'clock this morning from Parkvlllo , twelve
miles north of hero on the Kansas City , St.
Joseph ft , Council Bluffs railroad , saying that
nn attempt had bomi made to rob the Park
bank at that place shortly after midnight
hist night. The telegram was signed by A.
C. Hamilton , tlio cashier of the bank , and A.
J. Hamilton , hia brother , the president. It
appears that Mr. Hamilton hud spent the
ovcnlilg In ICunsas City nnd returned homo on
a lute train. It had boon the diatom to
leave a lighted lamp Iu the hank nil night ,
nnd on reaching Parkvlllo Mr. Hamilton
wont to the b.ink for the purpose of lighting
the lamp. On reaching the door ho unlocked
It and was about to go In when ho hoard a
noise Inside , nnd nuickly retreated , suspi
cious ofiposslbln robbory. Ha wont for assist
ance , and on returning to the bank a kit of
burglar's tools was found In front of the aafo
ana also two sticks of dynamite. A heavy
clamp had been placed on the knob of the
safe , and things looked as though the rob
bers were just about to force the knob o.T
and Insert the dynamite when the cashier
disturbed their plans.
While Cashier Hamilton was scolclng na-
slstanco a man was seen a short distance
from the b.ink. Ho was , n few minutes
later , joined by two others , and nil three
walked quickly away In the direction of the
depot. Mr. Hamilton immediately tele
graphed the police authorities hero to watch
the bridges for1 the three robbers and a
guard wna placed at this end of both bridges.
Early this morning Alonzo Zauo , whoso
homo Is In Kansas City , Kan. , was arrested
as ho was crossing the Council Bluffs brldgo.
Ho denies all knowledge of the attomutcd
robbery , but could give no satisfactory ac
count of himself and was looked up. The
