There wa a happy reunion bctweeu long
separated brother and sister yesterday
afternoon at Fourteenth and Douglas
streets, when James I.arrlmoro, n wanderer,
pcnnllesH and di-JectoJ, clasped hands with
Mrs. William Hndcllffe of Creston, lit.
Less than live minutes before I.arrlmoro
met his sister he had nppealcd to the police
for shelter during the night. The officer
referred him to u local mission and he
was starting for that place when Mrs. Had
ditto met him. It was tno first tlmo she
hail seen her brother In nine years, they
having feparated at tho funeral of their
mother In Wnbnsh, In.!., In 1M1. At that
tlmo Lnrrlmorc returned to Gilpin county,
Colorado, where he wns engaged In min
ing, and where, ufter several yenrs of In
different luck, his financial resources were
engulfed by tho depreciation or silver In
terests. Ho then drifted to Cripple Creek
nnd subsequently to Leadvllle, where
"mlncr'n luck" again went for htm on the
wrong Bldo of tho ledger.
Desperate bovond measure, he made his
way to Seattle where, by the good graces
of a steamship captain, he wns permitted
to have passage to Skaguay. Thero ho mnde
n cbauco friendship with "Soapy" Smith,
tho celebrated gambler, who met death a
fow years ago in n faro disturbance. From
this point he made the Chllkoot route and
in going over the trail endured hardship
which resulted in a frozen foot. At Daw
son City a Canadian surgeon made n
bungling Job nf amputation nnd sent away
from thorn n man who wns maimed for llfo,
Ilcnjntnln Hill, n miner, who ttoated upon
tho crest wave at Dawson City during tho
boom, old Larrlmore's expenses back to
tho states. Landing ngJln at Seattlo he
obtained employment In a restaurant as
dishwasher, from thero ho went to Ptoek
ton, Cat., and, nftcr numerous vicissitudes,
ho was engaged to carry a rotlto on nn
nfternoon paper. From there ho drifted
from iilnco to place, mnktng his way by
easy stages until he arrived In Omaha yes
terday. Mrs. Hadcllffo surmised her brother'n con
dition tho mlnuto sho met him, nnd the
slBterly trnrs that flowed upon the bedrag
gled minor's shoulder gave an Intensely
pathetic touch to tho reunion. A brief
acknowledgment on tho part of the brother,
a cordial handclasp from the sister and
all was undei stood.
A Fnrtiam street car carried the couple
to tho Ilurllngton station, from which they
departed for Creston. Mrs. Hadcllffo Is
tho wife of a prominent real cstntc man of
Creston, and her unfortunate brother has
assurance of a homo ho long ns he neeilB It.
South Omaha News .
Business men arc considerably interested
in a proposition to erect au opera house
here. The plan has been laid before
Thomas J. O'Xell by tho agent of Horace
Iiunkett, a member of tho Brltinh Parlia
ment nnd a largo owner of South Omaha
real estate. Henry J. Windsor Is the rcp
refccntntlvo of Mr. Iiunkett In this matter
and asserts that he Is looking for a good
investment for his client. Mr. Iiunkett
owns tho property nt tho southeast corner
of Twenty-fourth ami L streets and has an
option on tho land abutting on tho south.
He proposes for a bonus of $10,000 to erect
an opera house on the Blto In question to

that ho was satisfied that tho umount of

that searching parties could not find the
