Will Clark , who hns been employed at
different times nt tl.c Ogdcn hotel In Coun
cil niufts , the Heed hotel In South Omaha
ami more recently at the Uellono hotel In
this clly , was the victim of an assault yes
terday afternoon nt the hands of limit
Iuml which will In all probability prove
fatal. The assault was committed In the
alley In the rear of the Nebraska Music
liall , In which placu hutid has been em
ployed as stage manner. Lund Is now
under arrest , charged with an assault with
Intent to kill.
Upon beltiB taken to the Presbyterian
hospital jtHlerday Clark was subjected to
an examination hy Urn. Towno and Allison ,
and , although It was found that his skull
had not been fractured , ho Is Buffering
from concussion of the brain , duo to the
fall on the hard stone pavement of the
alley. IHb condition la considered serious ,
\vltti about enual chances for recovery or
death.
C. II. Frank and IStiinmicl Klein were
first arrested on suspicion of having com
mitted the assault and placed In the sweat
box by Captain Ilazo shortly after they
, weru taken to the station , and , being some
what scared at the position In which they
found themsclvLS , at lungth divulged the
name of the party whom they assert did
the Job. They lulil the crime at the door
of Emll L-niul , nicknamed " 1'unk. "
They staled that I.und and themselves
were seated at a tablu In the saloon , when
Clark , who has bcm n hanger-on at the
place for several weeks past , walked over
to the cigar counter iinil attempted to help
lihiibdt to the contents of the ease. He
\vns o.'derod away by Lnwler , the bar
keeper , but did not Immediately comply.
Lawlcr then took him by the shoulder and
started to escort him to the back door.
Clark , who was partly Intoxicated , resisted
and Lund took him In hand , and finally
forced him Into the alley , where a light
tnsuod , in which Lund knocked Clark down.
Lund then came to the front part of the
saloon , where ho remained a few minutes ,
and then Itft. That was the last they saw
of him.
The arrest of Lund was effected at the
music hall about 3 o'clock , whither he had
returned for some clothes which ho had
left there. Ilo made no resistance and on
his way to thu station admitted to Sergeant
Her that ho ivm the man who had com
mitted tht assault. Ho maintained , liow-
cvor , that it htd been In self-defense , that
Clark had struck at him when they reached
the door and that he had only struck Clark
the ono blow. He did not know that he had
seriously Injured Clark when ho returned
to the saloon Immediately after the affray ,
but became alarmed when Lawler had gone
to Clark's assistance , and then made good
his escape. Ho went Immediately to Mul-
vihlll's place of business on Harney , near
Fifteenth street , ind from there to Dou-
quctte's livery barn. He then returned to
the music hall for his clothing. Lund says
that he dlfl not use any brass knuckles in
the assault , although his right hand Is
badly bruised as n result of the encounter.
TELLS A DIFFE11ENT STORY.
D. 0. RoRers , a broom vender , who chsnoJ
to be passing up the alley at the time , ol the
assault and claims to be an eyewitness ,
gives a different version o the affair. He
Kays that Lund upon slinj'lnp Cfark Into
the alley struck him In the face with all
Ills force and that Clark had made no at
tempt to strike Cuml. Ho thought the as
sault extremely brutal and remonstrated
with Lund , and says that Lund'called him a
vile epithet and warned him that lie bet
ter go about his business or ho would treat
LI in In the same fashion.
Lawler , the barkeeper of the place , cor-
robora'es the statements made by Frank
and Klein , although ho heard nothing of
the conversation between Lund and Rogers
and did not witness the assault. He says
that although Lund has drank consider
able in former times , ho was entirely sober
yesterday and , in fact , has not been ad
dicted to drink for over a month past. Clark ,
lie says , has been drunk most of the time
during the last few months and has put
In a largo portion of his time hanging
around the saloon.
Clark was formerly employed as a clerk
at the Ogdcn hotel In Council muffs , but
left there thiee months ago. Ho then went
to South Omaha , where he worked at the
Heed hotel for n short period , and then
came to this city. He secured employment
at the Dellono hotel last Sunday morning ,
but left that place Tuesday noon , since
which time ho had been Idle. Lund has
held u fairly good reputation among his
friends and Is the- son of a prominent In
surance man of this city. He has been
employed at the music hall since the clos
ing down of Hoyd's theater last spring ,
where ho was employed as a stage hand.
Clark Is said to have relatives living ut
Colorado Springs , Colo. , but has none , so
fur as the police can learn , living in this
vicinity.

Kim KM MIN < < T.
About five years ago , " said C. T. Duck-
man , n well-known resident of "Visalia , to
the San Francisco Call , "while I was spend
ing the summer In the mountains northeast
of Visalia , I captured a large bullsnakc.
"Being alone In the mountains , and having
lots of spare tinuV on my hands , I was able
to teach Slippery Dick tricks. I taught him
to come nt call , to cell up , to dance and many
other tricks. He would cell up on the table ,
his head in the center of the cell , elevated
about six inches In the air. I would place
the handle of a small fan In his mouth , and
then Dick would gently wave the fan to and
fro , and thus keep the files and Insects away
from my face when J slept.
"Ho was as good as n cat to keep the house
free from mice. I often saw him bring In
ten or twelve In n day. His fondness for
mice was his ruin. It happened this way ;
Ono day I missed Dick , and , though I hunted
and called all day , I could not find any trace
of my pet. One day , about a week after his
disappearance , having occasion to explore
the loft of the cabin In which I was residiiiK ,
I came across the remains of my old friend.
Apparently he had been more than ordinarily
mouse hungry , and In his haste to satiate
his appetite had swallowed a live mouse , and
the mouse had done the rest. Poor Dick ! I
can Imagine his surprise nt the strange
commotion on his Inside , but It was a case
of reward for gluttony. No doubt ho re
pented when It was too late. "

The two runaway women , Mrs. Jennie
Seddcn and Miss Maud Thomas , who left
1'crsla , la , , a few days since to como to
Dmaha , have been apprehended by the pa-
Ice and are now Incarcerated in the city
lall awaiting the arrival -of Mrs. Scddcn's
uisband and Miss Thomas' father. Captain
Hayes has telegraphed to 1'crsla the In-
'ormatlon of the capture and received a
telegram In response , directing that Mrs.
Scddrn be held on the charge of adultery
and that Miss Thomas be held for tncorrl-
glblllty.
When In Omaha recently on the trail of
ils wife , Seddcn told a story which Indi
cated that he was n much abused , but In
dulgent , husband , living In the suburbs of
1'crsla , whcro he hns large property Inter
ests In farm lands and directs the operation
of several substantial mercantile establish
ments. It has been represented that Mrs.
Seddcn had nothing to do but enjoy her
rural life and consort with a husband who
was the model of domestic perfection. Mrs.
Seddcn , however , has detailed n story In
police court which rcvenls another sldo and
paints Seddcn in anything but the roseate
lines which ho drew when seeking his stray
wife among the outcasts of Omaha ,
Mrs. Seddcn was brought up from South
Omaha yesterday morning. In company
with Maud Thomas , the youthful girl friend ,
and her account of her domestic dlfllcultlcs
was given to the police. Mrs. Seddcn says
she married Sedden about two years ago.
"The marriage occurred in the tlrsl place
under peculiar circumstances. I was work
ing In Persia In a millinery store and Seddcn
became bewitched with me , " says the
woman , "and when I became sick he began
to pay my doctor bills and other accounts.
Then people asked him what that meant ,
for Sedden was ono of the head men of
that community. 'Why , ' he said , 'she Is my
wife. ' As soon us I recovered I was turned
out of my position , because people would
not have anything to do with me If I re
fused to live with my husband. I didn't
oven deny that I was married to him , so
ho Importuned me and I did marry him.
I would live with Mr. Sedden today If he
would not drink and abuse me. He re
cently tried to shoot me , and hns been ,
when Intoxicated , accustomed to abuse me.
In his tantrums ono time he threw mo
against the bed. I resolved to run away ,
as I could not stand this , and Invited my
friend , Miss Thomas , to accompany me. Wo
have done nothing wrong since we came
to Omaha. The first night after reaching
hero we stopped with Mrs. Schlank on Tenth
street. The next night wo went to South
Omaha and sought places to work in the
country. When we got out Into the country
we found the pcoplo to whom wo were di
rected were dirty , and > ve could not stand It
and came back again yesterday to South
Omaha. "
Mrs. Seddcn was In Omaha once before ,
stopping In rooms for a few days over nn
assignation house to keep In hiding from
her husband , she says , as she feared he
would find her if she stopped nt a hotel.
Seddcn has a peculiar mark on his lower
left Jaw. This his wife says was caused
by a bullet shot which was made when ho
tried to shoot himself on account of Jealousy.
Regarding the girl , Maud Thomas , she
says that for seven months prior to , her
leaving Persia she worked steadily fn a
family for $1.50 a week and came to Omaha ,
hoping to better her condition. Her mother ,
she says , is dead and she was reared by her
grandparents. Her father now charges her
with incorrlglblllty. Both women are good
looking and deny all intention to do any
thing wrong. They give an account of all
their movements since their arrival in this
city.

The story that thbtllnlon Pacific , Denver
St. Gulf would goon extend Its Cheyenne
ft Northern stub hnsi tccn given a new lease
of life. The rcvlvrfl.-fcf the rumor Is traced
to an Interview recently had between Re.
celver and GcncrdtOUnascr Trumbull of the
Oulf road and Valentine linker of Cheyenne ,
representing on eastern syndicate. Mr.
Dakcr and his associates arc PtUd to bo
about to build a rorid from the coal fields
In Crook county , Wyoming , ti > Merino , on
the line of the DtifHngton In Wyoming.
The plan which Is now being urged by
them Is to Induce the Gulf people to extend
their branch fiont Orln Junction , near
CoRpcr , Wyo , , , to Merino , thus forming a
connection with the proposed line. If this
were accomplished It would make n through
north nnd south road across the country , and
would be of great benefit to Colorado because -
cause of the Galveslon harbor.
The plan hns been thoroughly discussed
by Mr. Trumbull and Mr. Baker and his
company , but the receiver does not believe
that the cnteiprUe Is propitious at this
time , owing to the severe strhiRcncj In the
money market , coupled with the fact that
there are no prospects Just when the
property which has been entrusted to his
care will emerge from the receivership.

As predicted by The Bee Wcilnsi-liv , the
proposition of the Union Pacific to make a
blanket rate of $5 from all points In Ne

been negatived hy the Western Passenger

not known , but It Is lliougnt that about a
pair acted adversely. The Union Pacific will
now doubtless flic with Chairman Caldwclt
notice of Its Intention to put In the rate on
Its own accord. If this Is done It Is more
than likely that the other Nebraska roads
will follow suit. The selling price of these

The difference between knowing and guessing
The difference between certainty and doubt
The difference between a Gnat-antic and a prom
ise that's the difference between "The Ne
braska" and other shoe stores , No need to
be an expert to buy shoes at "The Nebraska.
No need to know anything- about shoes.
Pick out the style you fancy , pay the
price you wish and get a new pair or
your money back if they don't wear.
That's one reason you should buy your shoes of
"The Nebraska. " Another reason is that we
save you anywhere from 250 to # 1.25011 the pair
you purchase. For several years we have been
advertising and selling our famous Goodyear
Welt shoes for $2.50 and we have never seen a
shoe store yet that could sell it at less than $3 50.
We want a thousand men to test the truth of that
one statement. The way to do it is'to get ac
quainted with "The Nebraska" Shoe Depart
ment Men's shoes only * We'd sell ladies shoes
, if we could guarantee 'em
