JOHN SEUAN'S LAST RIDE
Body Taken to the River in a Push
Cart.
THREE MEN BORE THE GRUESOME BURDEN
Enclnecr Klnnoy Haw the Mnrdorcr * n *
They Stored Along the Street Uukovo ,
Urobnlo nnd IMIknn Arrnlc ccl
In Tollco Court.
The most Important witness that lias yet
fceen discovered In connection with the Sel >
Jan murder case Is Thomas Klnncy , the
well known Union Pacific engineer , who
liven at 1360 North Seventeenth street. His
evidence will go far toward throwing lighten
on the one feature ot the case that lias
heretofore been an Impossible puzzle for the
police. The most careful search by the
detectives has failed to develop the man
ner In which the body of the murdcreu
man was conveyed from the Mlkan cottage
to the river. Mr. Klnney Is able to explain
the transaction from the standpoint of a
man who was an actual observer of a part
of the proceedings.
Mr. Klnncy Is In charge of ono of the
Union Pacific yard engines , and is on the
night detail. At Just 2:30 : o'clock last
Wednctday morning his engine was standIng -
Ing on the viaduct which snans South Thlt-
tcenth street. Ho wan waiting tor orders
and hearing a noleo In the street below hu
glanced down. What ho saw was some
thing unusual for that hour In the morn.
Ing , and both ho and the pullco arc certain
that It was the body of John Seljan being
carried to Its scpulchcr In the muddy cur
rent of the river.
Three men were conveying a mysterious
burden along Thirteenth street. It was
loaded on a cart , such as are used by the
fruit venders , and which had been pre
viously pointed out as such a vehicle as
the murderers would be likely to have had.
Two of the men were walking some distance
ahead and looking around , as though to
glvo warning If they should happen upon
any belated pedestrians. The third man
was pushing the cart at as rapid
a pace as possible. It was the con
tents of the cart which struck
the engineer as being peculiar. It
contained some object wrapped In a heavy
blanket which completely concealed It. Kln
ney was at once struck with the resemblance
which the object bore to a human body. It
had the shape of the body of a largo man.
The object was too long for the cirt and
extended a couple of feet ovr the front end.
Klnncy could not Imagine that a dead man
would bo carried through the streets In that
manner and finally reached the conclusion
that It was a party of pcddlors wl.o were
taking some spoiled fruit down to the Jrnes
street dump.
MEN SEEMED EXCITED.
The longer he thought about It , however ,
the more certain he became hut the early
morning promenade could not to accounted
fop In that way. All three uf 'he men se-Mind
to bo much cxcl'ed. The two who were ahead
seemed to be keeping a sharp lookout and
kept turning around and motioning to their
companion to hurry with the cart , which
was unusual cdncern to display over the
transportation of a lot of spoiled bananas.
More than that the man with the cart seemed
'to have all he could do to propel It. Ho hur
ried along as fast as he could go , but at
times one of the other men had to raturn
and help him along. In this way they had
passed the viaduct and started down Hie in
cline toward Jones street. Then Klnney had
to go back with his engine and lost Bight of
the men.
When Klnney reid of the murder In the
morning papers all of his Uoub's worn dis-
Elpated. Ho Is now positive that what he
saw was the body of Seljan. Every circum
stance goes to corroborate this belief. The
party was seen at Just about the hour when
the murderers would ho most likely to have
made the attempt to conceal the body o
their victim.
The time was four hours before the blooJy
coat and vest were found on the river bank
and soon after Seljan is known to have bean
killed. The peculiar actions ot the men In
charge of the cart could scarcely be ex >
plained In any other way. Their remarkabli
Eollcttudo for fear that they might mee
some one and the evident excitement undei
which they were laboring bear out the story
the police say , that they were the mur
derers of John Seljan.
The route which was taken by the car
was the most natural ono which would bt
taken to reach , the river from the Mlkan
cottage. It would have been well nigh Im
possible for the murderers to have taken
their ghastly burden straight down to the
river , as the streets are not cut through and
they would have been compelled to traverse
a route over which they coull scarcely have
taken their vehicle. On the other hand ,
the route Indicated by Klnnoy's testimony
Is down hill nearly all the way. It leads
through business blocks whore no ono Is
often met at that hour In the morning. At
Jones street the river bends In toward the
city , BO that the route Is no longer than the
one which leads to the foot of Plerco street.
Mr. Klnney was taken to the city Jail yc-i-
terday and asked If he could Identify the men
whom ho saw W'th ' the cart. Ho could not
do this , as It was so dark under the bridge
that ho could not tec the faces ot the men ,
but he was positive that me men whom he
saw were foreigners.
The statement of Mr. Klnney la taken as
evidence that the police were not far wrong
when they decided that Bukove , Drobnlc
and Mlkan were the men who did the
killing. Klnney Is positive that there were
three men with the cart. Ho Is positive in
all ot his statements , and as ho Is said to bo
a man of unimpeachable veracl y , his evidence
la considered as most Important. The de
tectives are now at work , trying to locate
the cart which was used In making the Jour
ney to the river. The blanket that was
tound at the Mlkan cottage was covered with
blood on one side and It Is thought that
this may have been the wrapping that was
around the body. If this was the case there
Is but little hope ot finding blood on the cart ,
oa the fluid did not penetrate to the outside
ot the blanket.
ARRAIGNED TO PLEAD.
The three men accused of the murder of
Beljan were arraigned before Judge Berka
In police court yesterday afternoon. The
complaint , drawn by Assistant County At
torney Day , was signed by Sergeant Ormsby
and charged Anton flukove , John Drubnlc
and M. Mlkan with having murdered Seljan.
It charged that the Instrument used In per
petrating the crime was a razor.
The men faced Judge Bcrka and very coolly
listened to his reading of the complaint. The
paper was then read to the prisoners by Dr.
HolovtEChlner , who acted as Interpreter.
Drubnlc was first to plead and contented
himself with a single remark ol
"not guilty. " When Bukovo was
asked to plead he grew ex
cited and his eyes flashed , while he declared
* In his native tongue that he hoped he might
_ bo chopped Into small bits If guilty ot the
crime charged In the complaint. Mlkan tool
his cue from Bukovo and hoped ho mlghl
be struck with all torts ot horrible death !
It he were not Innocent.
After the plea of the accused had beer
received the attorney for the prisoner
asked that Mlkan might be allowed to enc
home for more clothing , as he was InsuiH
ctently clad and the nights were too cool foi
comfort. The request was granted and tin
prisoners returned to their cells , their pre
llmlnary Bearing having been set for to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.

When the Omaha National bank and Mont
gomery Charlton & Hall , with claims of
" 28,000 and $6,000 respectively secured con-
'esslons ' of Judgment from Phil Stlmmel they
proceeded to order executions and sell the
Stlmmel property. This apparently cut oft
ho hopes of some 100 gardeners and seed
men of getting any money as a return for
.heir labors.
Already some fifty creditors have appeared ,
demanding , In a motion they have filed , that
the two concerns which realized on the sale
bo compelled to return not simply the $11,000 ,
but the actual value of the stuff sold , the
claim being that the property was sold at a
forced sale and should have brought at least
$50,000. J. W. West claims enough will
be realized by this process to pay oft the
farmers. _

FIX AND HIS LOVE ARE FIX 3D.
Their Intercut liiitho 1'ntato Mur : > ot Landed
Them In J ll.
Anxiety over the price of a small patch of
potatoes at New Prague , Minn. , led to the
arrest and Incarceration of Max Fix and
Mrs. Mary Kholar by Detectives Savage
and Demrusey yesterday.
Mrs. Kholar Is a buxom woman of un
certain ago , and Fix Is a man old enough
to know better than to allow the price
of a tow bushels of potatoes to come between
him and his love. The couple appeared In
Omaha several weeks ago , and took up
their residence at Florence , under the as
sumed name of John Lohberter and wife.
Then Fix wrote to Mrs. Kholar's husband
and also to her father , and wanted to sell
them Mrs. Kholar's Interest In a potato
patch at Now Prague. These letters fur
nished the clew that Sheriff Hllgers of
Shakopco , Minn. , needed to aid him In the
search for Mrs. Kholar , who had deserted
her husband. A warrant was sworn out ,
charging Fix and Mrs. Kholar with adultery
and the Omaha authorities were asked to
locate the fugitives. Fix and his paramour
were both at the postofilce yesterday morning
. looking for letters bearing on the Minnesota
potato market. They failed to find 'any
mall , but they fell Into the hands of thu
detectives. They will be held to await tht ,
arrival ot the Minnesota sheriff.

TO REACH THE FAIR GROUNDS
Railroads Raoh an Agreement Upon the
Question of Terminals.
TO BE USEDJDINTLY BY ALL THE ROADS
Details Abnnt Completed for Ilumltlnc the
Vitltaralio Will Jonrncjr to the Hie
Show by Kail Work to
llcglu at Once.
Late Saturday afternoon the general man
agers of the Missouri Pacific , Union Pacific ,
Htirllngton and Elkhorn reached a definite
agreement as to the arrangement of tracks
anil terminals for occupancy during the state
fair. The Missouri Pacific will build an In
dependent line of rails Into the grounds ,
leaving the Belt line near Uuser's park. The
road will also put In terminals near the
gates , to bo Jointly used by the Hurllng-
ton , which will also use the Missouri Pacific
rails Into the grounds , leaving Its own track
at Deerfleld as originally announced In The
Deo. While It will dlvldo the expense of
building terminal tracks , a regular per
train charge will be made for the use of the
Missouri Pacific tracks. The Elkhorn will
probably use Us track from Irvlngton Jointly
with the Union Pacific , which will run to
South Omaha anil thence west. While this
portion of the agreement has not been
finally executed , It Is generally understood
that the Elkhorn and Union Pacific will dl
vldo the cxpensu of terminals along similar
lines laid down by the Missouri Pacific and
Hurllnctoti. Each of the roads will run
from six to eight trains In and out dally ,
with a round trip rate of 20 cents.
Superintendent C.M.Kathburn of the Missouri
Pacific will be In Omaha tomorrow to assist
In completing the details and making a lease
for the property to bo accupled , which Is to
bo perpetual In character , with a clause
stipulating that It shall run as long as the
eta to fair remains In Omaha and on the site
which has been chosen for the next five
years. As soon as the lease Is executed work
will bo commenced on connecting up the
tracks and the building of terminals will be
begun Immediately.
The utmost precautions have been taken to
Insure safety and the plan now Is to place
telegraph stations east and west of the tracks
with semlphoro attachment , making a com
plete block while trains are within the block ,
to be released when the block Is clear. High
Iron ratlings wl.ll surround the terminals and
a scries of "Ys" will bo put In , allowing
engines bringing In Incoming trains to run In
on these switches while waiting engines wll
take the trains out. In this way time can be
saved and safety Insured.
It Is the determination of the railroad
officials to give the very best service possible
and having given assurances to that committee
which waited upon the State Board of Agri
culture that the railroad end of the fair would
bo first class , they have gone to work to sup
port the hands of the committee. Realizing ,
too , that the time Is short , work will be com
menced Immediately aftrr the lease of the
grounds has teen executed.

lIealthOiIlccr Tells'"Why the Disease DOCK
Not 1'revnll In Onmliit.
The records of the Board of Health show
that only two cases of typhoid fever have
been reported this year. Last year there
were twenty-three deaths from the disease
and the thrco years'preceding ' chronicled , five
or six deaths cacn during the corresponding
period. The scarcity of the disease this year
Is considered a remarkable showing.
Dr. Towne of the Board of Health states
that In his opinion the decrease of tlin disease
Is duo to the manner In which the people are
being educated. They have been taught to
boll their drinking water and the milk deal-
era have also been closely watched , so that
the quality of the milk has been decidedly
Improved. It Is from these two fluids that
most of the typhoid fever originates and the
absence of the disease Is taken as evidence
that their quality has been materially 1m
proved.

since I was cured ot rheumatism by using
Munyon's Uhciimatlsm Cure. I took It sev
eral times dally , and In four days was com
pletely cured. At that time I could not put
on my coat without assistance. My knees

yon's Hcmedles I have not had the lightest
symptoms of the disease. "

Ing , with all Its disgusting symptoms , when

Their action was marvelously quick. The
disease yielded rapidly , and now I am per
fectly cured. "
Miss lola Forrest , 35 Mound street , Boston ,
says : "My entire system was broken down
from nervous prostration , caused by dys
pepsia. What I suffered Is Impossible to tell ,
and I was unable to get relief. Finally I
began using Munyon's Dyspepsia and Nerve
Cures , and It was not long before I was thor
oughly cured. "
