story of the recount recently made public
by the man Simon. Bdmlsten Bays that the
story of his connection with the fraudulent

ho will pmsccute Simon and all others who
have circulated It. It Is learned that Mr.

the rase. In the meantime the most diligent
Inquiry under the direction of the governor
nnd ot'.ier state olllclals has failed to dis
cover who was responsible for the appoint
ment of Slmnci on the commlFclon. He seems
to have been pretty well provided for In the
past , having hold an appointment under the

that an effort was being undo to Intimidate-
him nnd compel him to leave the city , but
that Ie ; would stay and "face the music. "

to the effect that the letter was not to be

"Cyclniif" Tlioiniixoii Tolls Oneto llic
"All the ghosts arc not In the towns , nor
In the deserted 'houses ' where people have
once made their homes. Many of them are
In the country. They gather about the
graveyards at night , I have seen them there
a great many times. And I have Wilted
with them. Anybody can talk with a ghost ,
but the trouble Is that most people are
afiuld of them and run as soon as they see
a white object that has the appearance of
an apparition. "
This lsoao _ of Cyclone Thompson's ghost
stories , "related by the St. Joe News. Ho
told it In the court house , where ho was
waiting to sco If the county court was going
to appoint another "helper" this year.
"I 'hive been out In "the country , " said
Thompson. "Iwent down In the neighbor
hood where I used to Ilvo to visit some
friends" . Ono evening I strolled over to the
graveynrJ , where many of the friends of my
early days are 'burled. '
"There Avero patches of snow here and
there In the graveyard , and a timid person
might have mistaken them for ghosts In
the moonlight. I walked among the graves
of people I used to know. Leaning against
a tree I saw what appeared to bo the form
of a man , with a white robe around him.
I went over In 'that direction and recognized
the ghost as that of a man who used to be
inv frlpml.
"Wo spoke to each other , but ho dlJ not
recognize me at once. The ycors 'have made
some changes In my appearance since last
we met. He was considerably changed , too ,
but I recognized him by his voice , which
had not altered since I heard him speak
last. Then howalked over the ipatch of
ground with me , and showed mo where all
our former friends were burled.
" * Ho\v do you like U out here , Bill ? ' I
asked him.
" 'Oh , It's lonesome , ' he answered. 'It's
always quiet hero. When I first came here
I thought I would like the place. It's all
right In summer , but It's a dreary place In
winter. There Isn't much company here and
wo don't often hear from the outside world.
Occasionally a man or woman comes here at
night , when wo can come out , but If wo
show ourselves or say a word to them they
leap over the fence and are gone , their faces
as white as that snow. You're the only
man I've bad a chance to talk to In
nine years.
" 'A tramp came hero about nine years
ago. Intending to sleep In the graveyard ,
whore ho wouldn't bo disturbed. I got out
of sight ns soon aa ho came over the fence.
Ho bad been given some food at a farm
house and sat down on a gravel to eat It. I
crept up close to him and hid behind a
tombstone. I thought I would wait until he
had finished eating and then speak to him.
After waiting awhllo I decided that it would
bo better to speak to him while ho was tak
ing his supper , as he would not bo so likely
to run away. I spoke to him , and what do
you suppose that tramp did ? Ho ( dropped
everything and stool ; up. t\s soon as he
caught sight of mo ho went llko a ragged
streak out of this place , and leaped the
fence at ono bound.
" 'lie fell on tlio other sldo with a broken
leg nnd lay there In great agony , groaning
so loud that he could bo heard a quarter of
a mlle away. I ran to the fence , nnd when
ho saw mo again lite eyes stuck out and he
screamed llko wildcat. As soon as I could
maka him near mo I told him to be quiet.
After awhile , when be had boon assured
that I would not hurt him , I climbed over
the fence and placed him in a comfortable
position. Then I had him write a note and
carried It to the nearest house , throwing It
in at the door.
" 'I suppose the people In that house are
still wondering how that letter got there.
They were frightened at flrat , but when I
saw them making preparations to go to the
graveyard I went on ahead of them. They
gathered up a number of the neighbors ,
among them a doctor , and came to sco If the
tramp were really there.
" 'Before they arrived I went back nnd
talked to the tramp. He shivered every
time ho looked at mo nnd admitted that It
was all ho could do to refrain from scream
ing. Once I caught him trying to crawl
AWnV Intn Mm lirtlali ftnd It wna till T "nttlH
do to restrain him.
" 'When the farmers arrived I slipped
away out of sight , and I heard the tramp
telling them about tlio ghost ho had KCGII.
The farmers pretended to laugh at his fears ,
but I noticed that they looked back over
their shoulders as they were carrying him
away. If I had started after them I sup
pose they would have dropped that tramp
and run , That settled the business with mo ,
and.I have never tried to strike up a con
versation with any other visitors.
" 'Another man comes hero sometimes at
night , ' continued the ghost , 'Hu Is an old
man now , and his hair Is white , I think he
HvM a long way off , for ) io comes with a
bundle on his back. His wife and children
wo burled down tlicro under the trees ,
They must have died a long time ngo , for
the graves were hero when I came. Tlio old
man Is always weary when ho yomes , and
the last tlmo ho was here ho tottered as he
walked. Ho kneels down under the trees
and prays silently. I have been close enough
to him to see the tears coursing down his
old wrinkled cheeka.
" 'In summer ho always brings a few wild
lowers nnjl puts them on the mounds. It
s a sad sight to watch him , He remembers
his dead. That cannot bo said of all the
people now living , There are graves here
: hat have not been secn'byjthe friends of
; hose who sleep In them since the day the
earth was heape-d upon them , and they were
: overed from human sight. They are neg-
ected and forgotten. It IB the way of the
world. ' "

SAN FHANCISCO , Feb. ' 3. Frank Sic-
Council of San Francisco ; a'flractlcnlly un
known man In the boxing world , nnd who
recently graduated from thc'riitnatcur ranks ,
out-i'olnted and out-fought Young Orlffo , the
celebrated Australian boxer , before the Olym
pic club tonight. The contest wns a fifteen ,
round affair , and the big auditorium was
packed with 3,000 spectators.
Grlffo started the first round with a , rush
and endeavored to rattle McConncll by some
queer antics , ibut the local man noon re
covered himself and took a hand nt forcing
matters. Grlffo acted entirely on the de
fensive throughout the remainder of the
first and In the second and third rounds was
kept very ibusy ( blocking and ducking Me-
Conncll's leads.
McConncll fought almost entirely for the
body , repeatedly placing his right on
Grlffo's ribs and over tha kidneys. Ho
varied this , however , with some well di
rected rights oa the jaw , which usually
landed on Grlffo's ear. Grlffo swung wlldh
wlt'h ' his left In the fourth nnd flftf
rounds , tout usually fell short of McCon-
ncll'a face and was countered each time
with a right on the body. Ho puzzled the
local man considerable with his feints am
sent In a couple of stiff left facers before
McConnell could block them.
In the sixth nnd seventh rounds Grlffo
was satisfied to let McConnell do the lead
ing ami was on the defensive. McConnell
put a couple of hard rights on the body
ami n vicious right uppercut on the face
In the eighth. Grlffo came up for the ninth
with a rush nnd sent In a couple of utilis
ing lefts on the face nnd a right on the
body , but his blows had no effect on Mc
Connell. IIo braced himself up and met the
Australian's rushes with well directed body
blows.
The tenth was fast from start to finish.
Grlffo rushed McConnell for a short while
and then gave ground before the local man
could lead. . McConncll gave a beautiful
exhibition of defensive work In this round.
The eleventh was decidedly In McConnell'3
favor. IIo landed n hard right cross counter
on Grlffo's eye , which put that member In
mourning , and rushed the Australian around
the ring , but failed to land effectively. The
twelfth and thirteenth were about even with
McConnell doing two-thirds of the lead-
ins.
ins.Grlffo
Grlffo started In to rush matters In the
fifteenth , but a couple of- counters gave him
a wholesome respect for McConncll's good
right hand and the round ended In favor of
the latter.
McConnell Is a wonderful specimen of
muscular development , weighing about IIS
pounds. Ho Is of the rangey build , with a
hard punch with cither' hand , and has a
splendid guard.

Mr. Chance , however , unloosened enough

Both Francis Gcable and \V. K. Kurtz are
well known In Omaha , although neither of
them have resided here for EOUIO years.
Kurtz came to Omaha as a private sacrotary
of W. H. Craig In 1887 and later became
resident agent for Dundee Place , which was
aid out by the Cralgs. Kurtz is said to be n
nephew of Bls'jcp Hurst of tbo Methodist
church and intimately connected with Bishop
John P. Newman. Both Kurtz and Grablo
were especially prominent In the reccytlon
and entertainment of the delegates to Ilio
MotUodlst general conference held In this
city In 1882. Immediately after the con
ference to the first of the frco excursions to
; ho Bdgmontand Black Hills property were
: akcn out under their direction and as a
result of their operations a largo number
of the men foremost In tbo Methodist church
were Induced to become Investors In Dundco
Piaco lots and Edgmont clock. The two men
used the Metlodlst church < \ & the basis of
operations so successfully that , according to
reliable accounts , a great number of tholr
dupes are Methodist ministers scattered
throughout tlio United States.
Mr. Grablo's Block Hills excursions are
[ amlllar to the people of Omaha , this city
being ono of the stccplm ; points on every
tlnorary , Grablo's church and railroad con-
necttcas enabled him to travel In t'ao moat
aiproved. fashion. It was always by special
train that his parties were taken across the
country. During the last two years they
were usually accompanied by ex-Govornor
Pattlson himself and always Included someone
ono of special prominence , The whole party
was wined and dined at every turn. They
always lunched at the Omaha club , where
Grable always seemed to have free entree ,
and after the luncheon laudatory speeches
were In order by the visitors and by well
mown Omaha people nho were Invited as
( pedal guests.
Ono of the last expeditions under Groblo'a
patronage that attracted special note occurred
only last rprlng , when Colonel Fred Grant
on'd his BOO were sent to Kdgtnont and the
Dlnck Hills for the purpose of looking over
: ho property with a view to Investment.
Whether Colonel Grant was among the hold
ers of the worthless stock of the collapsed
mining companies Is not known hero.
