Adolph Ansord , a farm hand , working In
Washlncton county , was at the police sta
tion yesterday to tell how he was held
up and robbed of $13 and a gold watch while
on the road between Washington and Arling
ton last Thursday night. The reason that
he did not make a complaint before this
was the fact that he had been confined to
his bed ever since the robbery by Injuries
received from the _ robbers.
Ansord says that on Thursday he went to
the bank In Blair and drew out all the money
ho had saved with the Intention of coming
to Omaha to look for work. A couple of
men who had been working on an adjoining
farm were In town and knew that ho had
the money. He started for home about 8
o'clock and had not proceeded , far before
he was assaulted nnd robbed. He was left
lying In the road In an unconscious condi
tion nnd did not recover his senses until
nearly daylight.
The robbers hart struck him with some
blunt weapon and had given him a gash ,
which was dangerously near his Jugular ,
and was wfth a 'big butcher knife which
was afterward found near "the scene of the
holdup. Ansord says that he can Identify
the men and gave the police a good descrip
tion of them.

Health CoinniliHlon to Adopt Hurolo Muus-
uroH to Iniiirn Cleanliness.
Commissioner of Health Savlllo has de
cided to adopt more stringent measures In
dealing with the milkmen nnd has given In
structions to the Inspector accordingly. All
milkmen who have not taken out a license
will bo arrested and steps taken to compel
the dairymen whoso premises are In an un
cleanly condition to clean them up at once.
Most of the milkmen who are charged with
the use of brewery slop are located in what
Is known as the Iowa strip and seem to think
that oii that account they cannot bo reached
by the Omaha authorities. These men will
lie served with written notices to quit feed
ing the slop and to clean up their premises.
It this Is not obeyed they will bo watched
and arrested as soon as they cross the Ne
braska line with their loads of milk. The
authorities cannot reach them at their barns ,
but they will not be allowed to bring milk to
the city unless they conduct their establish
ments In accordance with the rules of the
board.

DISORDER AT SOUTH OMAIU
Day Filled with Fights Between Striken
and Workmen in the Packing Homes.
SITUATION CAUSES MUCH UNEASINESS
Men Who HIIVO Oono to Work Subjected ti
Intimidation mill Vlolrnco Sheriff
Urcxcl ATII1 Horn ! Down Morn
Deputies thU Morning.
Intimidation of the workmen In the pack
Ing houses nt South Omaha has reached eucl
a stngo that It Is no longer a matter thai
can be overlooked by the authorities , and I
Is likely that the mayor will have on a fora
of men this morning that will be canal t <
the situation.
There were a number of rows last cvcnlnt
as the men proceeded home from their work
but so far as was reported to the police nc
person was seriously Injured. The street )
were crowded until midnight.
About 5 o'clock In the afternoon there
was a riot over on "Indian Hill. " Clubs
were used freely and revolvers were drawn ,
Workmen from the packing houses were or
their way home when they were stopped bj
the men who had gone out. A light ensued
and the strikers would have won If It had
not been for a number of the stock yardf
gang , who happened to be up that way hav
ing a horse race. The strikers were easily
put to flight by this gang. Nearly 200 of the
men who ore out were on Jower Q street
when this trouble occurred and many ol
them wanted to go to the sccno of action.
The dummy train which carries employes
of the packing houses to Omaha was stoned
when leaving the depot and several occupants
were struck and Injured.
At Twenty-seventh and N streets at 5:30 :
o'clock three Italians , passed on their way
homo from work , when the crowd began to
hoot at them and cried "scab. " One of the
trio drew a revolver , and they then moved
slowly up the street followed by hoodlums
and the crowd. At Twenty-fifth street they
were again surrounded by strikers. One of
the other men drew a largo knife , which ! he
swung recklessly In the air , and was given
all the space lie wanted. The strikers shied
bricks at the 'trio , but no person was lilt ,
and the men took a motor train to Omaha.
Ono man has secured warrants for the
arrest of men who held him up on the street
and took his packing house keys from him.
POLICE KEPT BUSY.
The police were kept busy all evening
gathering In men who had committed
assaults. A number of warrants have been
Issued for the arrest of the assailants.
Sheriff Drcxel was In the city last evenIng -
Ing , and said he would put on enough
deputies to keep the peace today. If that
doea not pcove sufficient the militia will be
called out , he says.
RUNNING FULL TIME.
All the packing houses were running yes
terday with about the same force they had
Monday.
The picket line of the strikers covers an
entire circle around the packing houses.
Every man who Is seen going to work Is
halted and requested not to enter the houses.
If the fellow persists in going to the packIng -
Ing house he Is liable to be assaulted. The
trade In revolvers has been rushing for
the last week. Permits have been Issued
to many of the mfn to carry guns ,
and each day the situation grows more seri
ous. "We must have better police pro
tection , " Eajd Manager Cudahy. "The men
who want to work are assaulted both going
to and coming from the house. We ought
to have at least 200 specials for a while
until this excitement abates. "
FRENCHMAN'S PLAN WORKED.
One large Bohemian , who lives in Brown
Park , was stopped by one of the strlke.cs
yesterday while on his way to work. A
few words passed between them , when the
striker demanded that the man should not
go to work. A fight endued , when the
striker was worsted and the Bohemian went
his way. A Frenchman , living in the
Fourth ward , who was anxious to go back
to work but was afraid he would be as
saulted If he did , rigged himself out in a
novel way and passed through the picket
lines without being detected. He dressed
himself in one of his wife's gowns , and ac
companied by her the pair walked Into the
Plant without any questions being asked.
The Frenchman Is now at workr but ho
does not go home In the evening.
Anthony Franks , a man employed at Cud-
ahy's , says he was pursued by strikers Mon
day evening and fired at five times. He did
not stop running until ho got home. Franks
lives In Albright.
"Windy" Kclley was given a chase
through the tracks Monday evening. Kclley
works at Cudahy's In the hog department.
The executive commlttcovof the strikers
disclaims any knowledge or assaults com
mitted by the union man. They claim that
all the men who went out arc given strike
orders not to create any disturbance what
ever. The committee has chosen fifteen
citizens and will ask Mayor Johnston to
swear them-In as special policemen. The
committee also petitioned the mayor and
council not to employ any men for specials
who , do not live in the city.
Thu packers still claim that many more
of their old men want to come back to work.
but arc afraid to do BO for fear they will
bo assaulted.
Thlof W-IK with Him.
An unexpected thing happened at the city
Inll last evening when John Roper and his
nephew , Harry Brown , called to report the
loss of a suit of clothes. Mr. Roper was de
scribing the clothing to Detective Savage
when a peculiar look In Brown's face at-
racted the detective's attention. Brown was
; aken aside and after a brief conference with'
Savage confessed to having stolen his uncle's
clothes , which he shipped to Kansas City by
express. The property was recovered from
the express company. Roper was dum-
'oundcd when he learned that his nephew
was the thief.

J liibc7.7.Iciucnt.
Yesterday afternoon William F. Sears ,
secretary of the Provident Savings , Loan
and Building association , caused the arrest
of John Evers , alleging embezzlement. No
complaint has as yet been filed , and the
chances are tHat none will be. Mr. Sears
declined to talk about the affair and ap
peared to bo considerably more worried
than Iho prisoner.
Evers stated his case plainly nnd with
out hesitation. Ho said that the arrest was
a mistake and that It would all bo fixed up
In a short time. He says he sold some prop
erty for the company and received a check
for $2,000. After getting the check he went
home Instead of returning to the office.
Ssara became anxious and caused the arrest.
Evers Is confident that the matter will be
settled out of court.
uxscitvi'ur.ous WORK.
CALLAWAY , Neb , , Aug. C. To the Editor
of The Ileo : As a republican who has the
best Interests of the party at heart , I nm
nlad to note that The Dee has the courage
to como out boldly nnd openly In opposition
to the nomination of such a man as'Tom
Majors for governor on the ticket of that
party. At least three-fourths of the people
of Custer county demand the nomination of
Jack MacColl , yet Custer county's delegation
will KO to the state convention with a dele
gation two to one for Majors.
This result was brought about by the un
scrupulous work of Majors' cappers , who
worked the county for weeks prior to the
county convention nnd who manipulated that
convention In such a scandalous manner as
to disgust scores of honest members of the
party. One of the leading Majors cappers
of this county is a notorious gambler and
nnothcr Is a thief upon his own confession ,
now awaiting a trial for embezzlement.
Is It any wonder that good republicans
threaten to bolt the party If this man Majors
Is forced upon them and to vote for such a
man as Judge Holcomb , should ho be nomi
nated by the populists ? REPUBLICAN ,

PANIC IN THE CORN PIT
Chicago Board of Trade Sous the Effects o ;

CHICAGO , Aug. 7. The Board of Trade
was the sccno of a wild buying panic today ,
corn shooting up at a dizzy gait and carryIng -
Ing wheat with It. The drouth In the corn
bolt was unchecked. The weather bureau
showed no signs of relief from the blister
ing winds that are sweeping over western
corn fields , withering the growth and de
stroying the crop , and excited brokers clus
tered about the corn pit eager to buy. At
the tap of the bell n wild struggle for holdIngs -
Ings began. Shorts were frantic , and at
every jump In the price with its consequent
losses to them fought more fiercely for
cover. Before 10 o'clock corn had gone up
7 cents In long and sensational jumps and
wheat , with Its heavy load of bearish In
fluences , had struggled 2Vlc up the scale.
The visitors' gallery was soon filled with
spectators who climbed upon the seals and
leaned over the railings watching the yel
ling , howling mob of speculators on the
floor. Holders with visions of sudden
wealth held on to their groin until offerings
were as scarce us ruins , and shorts with
visions * of equally sudden disaster grew
wilder as the session advanced. The mar
ket which a few weeks ago had no bottom
now seemingly had no top and , passing
wheat , corn continued In an advance that
has seldom been equaled on the Chicago
board for sensational features.
The raging bullish features , of course ,
were the hot , dry winds swooping across
the already parched corn fields ; the pub
lished official reports that ever a largo sec
tion of Nebraska the farmers would not raise
enough corn to keep them from starving ;
the extremely bullish Iowa crop report pul
ling the crop prospects even lower than
the speculators had guessed It , and the
fact that corn in Liverpool was reported 2d
higher.
The trading In corn from the start was of
the wildest description , the shorts strug
gling to snap up whatever was offered that
could be got at , regardless of previous prices
or prices In other parts of the pit from that
In which he was endeavoring with might
and main to lift himself out of the financial
hole Into which his previous sales had
plunged him. As a consequence , the open
ing price for September corn was anywhere
between 54o and 58c , In different parts of
the pit , against 53c at the close yesterday ,
and by Jumps of halves and cents the price
quickly advanced to COc , or Cc above yes
terday's last figures. Then it as suddenly
plunged down to 5Sc , sold at a bound to 53c ,
then to GOc.
This gait , of course , could not last , and the
most urgent of the shorts having waded
ashore , the strain eased somewhat. The
price sank at first by cents and halves , with
an occasional slight reaction , until at 10:35 :
a. m. It was quoted at G5V4.
May corn opened anywhere from CO1 to
52' c , against 48c at the close yesterday
and advanced to 53 % , or a clean advance of
5c , breaking off later to 40V c.
Wheat struggled to keep up with corn.
September opened at 5ri55c , against
54c at the close yesterday , and advanced
to 53c , a gain of 2Yio over yesterday's
figures , and at 10:35 : a. m. was selling at
55/ncc. /
Oats sympathized with other grains. Sep
tember , which closed yesterday ut 30c ,
opened at 32ysG32ic , sold at 34c and at
10:35 : was back to 320ic.
Prices remained comparatively steady
sines the opening of the day and subse
quent reaction. September corn at noon
was quoted at SS'.fcc ; September wheat at
SGVic.
The reaction after the opening boom was
assisted by the weather bureau's prediction
of rain In Iowa and Nebraska today or to
morrow.
NEW YOltll HAD A PANIC TOO.
Corn In the Knstcrn Center Also Jumped
Nearly Seven Cents.
NEW YORK , Aug. 7. This morning the
corn market started out with a 2-cent Jump
over last night , and increased it In a few
moments to 5 % cents , while at the west
the anxious buying of shorts was putting
prices up 1 and 2 cents at a clip , until a
gain of 0 % cents had been recorded , and
made corn considerably higher than wheat.
The excitement hero during the advance
was naturally intense and the corn ring was
crowded with brokers trying , to cover their
short contracts. The foundation of the sen
sational rise In corn still rests on the bad
crop news and a report today that the Iowa
crop bulletin would show a condition of 40
per cent.

PORTLAND , Ore. , Aug. 7. Judge Bell
inger llils morning signed an important de
cision In the case of Thomas Hawkes and
Edward Cllne , charged with selling liquor
to Indians. He decided that the allotment
of lands In scvcralty to Indians had the
effect of removing them from under the
charge of Indian agents and gave them the
standing of American citizens. As such the
United States laws governing Indian wards
of the government Jo not apply to them
and the selling of liquor to an Indian who
Is not In charge of a United States Indian
agent Is not punishable under the United
States statutes. The decision has ( is a
precedent the opinion of Judge Haneford , de
livered In an Indian case of another charac
ter In 1S92 , but It Is the first decision to this
effect In a case directly In point.
