THE OMAHA DAILY BE-E : THURSDAY , MAY 10 , 189k ON FOOT AND WALKER'S ' LINE Tree Passes Over Hftilronds to Bo Given a Boycott. POPULISTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD Initrnd of doltiR to Tholr Convention In 1'alnco C r They Will l.'mttlute General Kelly nml Go In Wagon * . Populism In Nebraska lias taken a new anJ unique turn , according to tlio call Just Issued by the chairman of the state central committee- for a meeting ot that body on May 18 at Lincoln , to ilccldo upon the tlmo and plcco for holding the stale convention. It Is proposed to declare a political boycott against the railroads and have every delegate - gate to the convention either go by wagoner or emulate the example sot by General Kelly and his warriors In crossing Iowa , and walk. Chairman Dcaver waxes nulto enthusias tic over the Idea , and Is certain that It will bo the means of stirring up more enthu siasm at an early stage of the campaign than ever before known In the history of \ the parly. The plan Is to have the conven tion called for a place some distance In the Interior of the state , so as to have It as centrally localed as possible , and then have the delegates bear down upon It by easy marches by wagon road , converging there from all directions. It Is proposed to have the convention called nt a tlmo when farm work will be well out of the way , In order to give the delegates from the granger dls- Irlcla aboul two weeks for pollllcal pur poses at Ihat period , without Interfering with duties on the farm. It Is Intended to have every delegate devote himself for those two weeks to enthuslasllcally "whooping 'er up" for the populist cause , and make the pilgrimages lo the convention Mecca a series of triumphal marches. Marches will be BO arranged as to enable a stopover each night at aoino good-sized town , where a political blowout and Jublleo will bo held , with the touring delegates as the principal speakers. The chairman says Hint Ihcso protraclcd pollllcal meetings , being held simullaneously night after night nil over the stale , will awaken a great deal of Interest and en thusiasm , while the novelty of tlio thing will also have considerable effect. Each county will bo asked to provide horse transportation for Its delegation. Those nearest the borders of the stale will slart first , and as they pro gress toward the convention city will re ceive dally concessions to their numbers from the various counllcs Ihroughwhich Ihey pass. It Is further stated that the effect will bo to prevent delegates being sub jected to corporale Influence , as there will then be no excuse for asking free trans- porlallon from the railroads , and the dele gates will go Into convention with no slrlngs tied lo them , and without being the re cipients of favors for which they might feel In honor bound to reciprocate. The pro gram will bo repeated on the road home , thus Inaugurating n boom for the nominees. Chairman Deaver Is of the opinion that the party can In Ihls manner kill several birds with a single Etono. The lemptallon to slray from Iho middle of the read will be removed , Iho parly rallying cry of "Equal rights for all , special privileges lo none , " will find a dally living exompllflcalion , while the opporlunlly to enlhuse Iho rank and fllo will bo grealer than could be secured In any other way. . How the scheme will be received by the prospective delegates can only be conjec tured , as It was sprung without waiting to consult with many of them , and the returns have not yet begun to come In.

Raymond ot i r Lincoln , that ho will bo a candidate for .gubernatorial honors In the next republican state convention , has seriously complicated the political situation at the Capital City. Lincoln was early In the field with several promising candidates for secretary of state. John Charles Fremont McKesson , the leader of the railroad contingent In the last legis lature , was one of the first to aspire to the ofllce , and he was quickly followed Into the ring by Ed Slzcr and Councilman George Woods. Then W. S. Hamilton quietly per mitted his friends to know that ho would bo very much pleased to have the Lancaster county delegation lo further his ambition to become the next attorney general. Hamil ton's aspirations were considerably chilled by u large amount of cold water thrown by the rival candidates for secretary of stale. Hut there were other aspirants In Lincoln. Frank McClusky Is working for a delegation which will boost him for superintendent of public Instruction , and the ncllvlty of Prof. L. H. II. Austin In the last municipal cam paign has already made him a candidate for Goudy's place. And finally II. E. Moore was brought out on the track for the office of lieutenant governor. This last move was not received with any great enthusiasm , not be cause Senator Moore Is unpopular at the capital , but simply because It was gener ally believed his name was simply being used by Tom Majors lo checkmate Church Howe's congressional aspirations. Uaymond Is a wholesale grocer and a largo man , physically. Ilo looks like a gov ernor. Ho Is pre-eminently a Lincoln man , but thal's nothing against him. Ho was Iho leader In Iho fight six years ago which com pelled the railroad companies to give the wholesale merchants ot Lincoln the rates which enable them to compete with Omaha nml Kansas City houses. Last year when the railroad managers "threatened" to put tha Newberry bill Into effect Itaymond led a movement to fight the bill In the Interests of the wholesale trade ot Lincoln. Ho called a mass meeting at the Lincoln hotel , at which some sixty Capital City Jobbers were present. A largo sum ot money was sub scribed , and G. M. Lambertson engaged to fight the bill Ihrough Iho courls It necessary to preserve the wholesale trade of the Capi tal City. The Injunction of Judge Dundy holds the Lincoln light In abeyance , but It Is certain to bo made , and made vigorously , If the temporary restraining order Is with drawn , The maximum rate law has but few friends In Lincoln. Certainly not many among the business men. The wholesale houses were satisfied with the old conditions. They enjoyed a 6-oent differential with Omaha which practically located their warehouses on the Missouri river. They were successfully competing with the houses in Omaha's territory. The operation ot the maximum rate law threatened to change all this. The railroad companies gave notice that the differential had been cancelled and that Lincoln wholesale merchants would bo required to pay the local rate from Omaha to Lincoln. This meant trouble to the Lincoln wholesale trade. Naturally the wholesale men of the Capital City resolved to light. Naturally , too , Kay * moml led the fight. The Lincoln men will carry the Debt Into the courts or Into pol itics , or both. It will be cheaper to make the fight a. political ono , and It Lincoln can tecuro tha repeal of the odious maximum rate law In the next legislature eho will do to. It IB but ( air to the business men ot Lincoln to say that they are only actuated by business motives. _ Bight hero la where the small bore pro fessionals In the employ of the railroads com ? In. They are taking advantage of the business situation at Lincoln , as tar as Its Wholesale Interests arc threatened by the maximum rate law , to spread discontent , They are the flies on the wheel , and they are loudly claiming that the wholesale men ot Lincoln are back ot the 1) . & M. deal to ( repeal the maximum rate law. In this they irJ mistaken , but the wholesale men are likely to get the blame for the pernicious activity ot the email politicians. lownns Trade In Oinalm. The council has voted to expend 1109 ! n improving the condition ot Sherman avenue from Fort street north to the city limits. This Is In satisfaction of the request of a largo number ot property owners on the Iowa slclo of the river who expect to do their trading In this city In the future , A ferry company has been organized to provide them wllh transportation over the river and the roads lending to the ferry on the Iowa side have Already been substantially Improved and placed In excellent condition. With good roads on this side the residents ot the strip of territory Interested assert that they would much prefer to drive to Omaha to do their trading than go > to Council Illuffs. They say lhat they arc able to ob tain bctlcr prices for their producu In this city and get a better value for the money which they spend. IIAYIH5N IIUOS.

The Diamond pool room case Is occupying Iho attention of Die criminal court , and quite a crowd of spectators. Jack Morrison , C. D. Blbbens , Charles White and H. B. Kennedy are the defendants , and they are charged with running a gambling house. The war rant for their arrest was Issued by Judge Scotl , and Sheriff Drexel raided the place. Yesterday the defendants filed a plea In abatement , because Judge Scott was the ex amining magistrate , but it was overruled. The greater part of the day was occupied In getting a Jury , and from the starl Iho court look especial pains to keep the Jury by Itself , giving that order even before the Jury was secured. Several witnesses were examined during the afternoon , Including a number of white and colored boys who had boughl pools and had seen olhers doing so. Captain Cormack and Sergeant Haze were called by the prosecution , which , by direc tion ot the court , was taken In charge by Judge Doano , Attorney Kaley occupying a seat in the background. Haze was not a very willing witness and the prosecutor was al lowed to cross-examine his own witness quite closely. It was ascertained that White had claimed to bo the manager ot the place , and Morrison's connection with It was also shown. The examination of Haze had not been completed when court adjourned. The Jurors were again cautioned against allowing any one to como near them" , and were given Into Iho charge of two bailiffs , and no one In the court room was allowed to rise until after the Jury had filed oul. The court said ho did not mean lo Intimate that this was a susceptible Jury , but there had been lots of talk heretofore In cases ot this kind and ho didn't propose to take any chances. Ho would not charge that anybody connected with ellher side would Interfere with the jury , but he thought It well to glvo no op portunity for Interference. The trial will be resumed at 9:30 : this morning. _ iioMisiiKiits' : : KJCCIWSIONS SOOTH. Via tlio Wubnsh Itallroail.

ALL ON ACC3DHT OF A DOG Henry Oraycroft Goes After His Dog nnd Gets a Bullet , BADLY WOUNDED BY A POUND EMPLOYE right nt tlio Dump Which Itcsults In Ono Man Itolng .Shot An Kicltcd Crowd Wanted to Lynch the Shooter. Henry Craycroft , colored , foreman for Hugh Murpliy , was shot at 5:45 : yesterday evening by Glinrlcy Davis , an employe of J. Spocrl , the poundmaBter. Doth Spoerl and Davis were arrested and a charge of shootIng - Ing with Intent to kill placed against each. About three days ago Crnycroft had hln dog taken up by one of Spocrl's men and taken to the pound at the foot of Jones street. Mrs. Craycroftent to the pound several times to make Inquiry for the dog , but was told It had not been taken there. She was sure It had , as several of the neighbors had seen the dog catchers take It. She went to her husband and told him that as the dog was a valuable one she thought It had been concealed. Craycroft went to the pound yesterday afternoon. He confronted Spocrl , and , producing receipts to show that he had a right to the dog , de manded Its relense. Spoerl saidVa : have never had your dog and know nothing ot Its wliureubouts. " Cruycroft replied , so Spoerl says , by telling him that he wiis cer tain the dog was there , and wanted It. Spocrl said : "Do you mean to call mo a liar ? " and Craycroft replied that he was If ho said he did not have the dog , and , so Spocrl says , called him vile names. Spoerl , who Is an officer , at once placed Crny- croft under arrest , and says that then Cray croft called him more unities and drew a re volver. Spoerl drew his gun and also his club , remarking : "You should not resist , as I have a right to arrest you. " Craycroft started to run , and Spoerl shot In the air. Charley Davis , one of the dog catchers , then appeared , and , approaching Spocrl , said : "Give me the revolver and I'll wing him , " and ho grabbed the weapon from Spoerl. Craycroft , upon seeing Davis , said : "There Is the man I want , " and leveled Mb' re volver at him. Davis pulled the trigger 'anil shot Craycroft as he ( Craycroft ) started to get away , running to the Ice house of the Arctic Ice company. He was cared for by the men there , and the police were sum moned. Davis , after he hit Craycroft , fired three more shots , none of which took effect. Officer Dlbbern dressed the wound and sent Craycraft to his residence , 2717 Dodge street. He was shot through the thigh. Spoerl remained at the pound until the arrival of the police , when ho was placed under arrest , but was released an hour later on a $1,200 bond , signed by ex-Councilman Munro. Ho said the shooting occurred be cause Craycroft used Insulting names to him and when , placed under arrest drew a re volver. Davis , after shooting Craycroft , ran Into the street and caught a wagon that was going up town. The horses were lashed Into a furious gallop and he for a time escaped. A crowd of angry men residing In the vicinity , and who were acquainted With Davis' rec ord , started In pursuit. The leader had a rope , and there were shouts of "lynch him ; hang the brute , " and similar expressions , but they were unable to overtake the wagon. Missiles were hurled at him , and men even attempted , to procure horses from " residents along Jone"s street to overtake him , but he had too much the start and got away. About nn hour afterwards Davis was lo cated at Twentieth and Pierce streets , and Detectives Hayes and Hudson went out and arrested him. He was In a blacksmith shop In hiding , but upon peeing the police he gladly surrendered , saying he was afraid he would bo hunted down -and killed. He was searched , but no weapons wore found upon him. He was charged with shooting with Intent to kill and Is still In jail. Davis affirmed the statement made by Spoerl and acknowledged hitting the man , but said he did it In self-defense , as Cray croft had already drawn his gun- and had fired one shot at him , after which he ran toward the Ice house and threw away his re volver. Craycroft has been foreman for Hugh Murphy for ten years and Is well liked by his employer and In the neighborhood where ho lives. Ho said Spoerl had a club In one hand and a pistol in the other , and that Davis appeared , and , taking the revolver away , shot him. Once , about five years ago , Craycroft met with an experience somewhat similar. He was enforcing some orders when he was Btruck by one of the men under him , and when he took the defensive was shot , but not seriously. Charley Davis , the man arrested for doing the shooting , is well known In this city as a tough character. He shot at an old man , a Mr. Johnson , residing at Twenty-ninth and Seward streets , about a year ago , but In some way he got clear of this affair , but he has been In jail any number ot { Imes for cutting and other affairs. At the time of the shooting a year ago Davis' partner got a year In the penitentiary. A large crowd gathered at a frame house at Twentieth and Pierce , where It was thought Davis had taken refuge , and wanted to drag him from the house , but was sorely disappointed when ho was not found.
