The resignation of Charles Elliott Perkins
Irom the presidency of the consolidated
Chicago, Burlington &- Qulncy Fj-stera calls
to mind the important and extensive serv
ices which he has given, not alone to the
company, but also to the entire western
country. In 1S59 he began his railroad ex
perience us a $30 a mouth clerk In the
office of the itsslHtant treasurer of the
Burlington i- Missouri River rallroud tu
Iowa. Since then he bus risen by successive
stages to the presidency of the consolidated
system of the Burlington and now stands
practically at the bend of the company. HIb
ofllolal title Is merely that of a member
of the board of directors, but he 1b recog
nized as the leading member of the board
and his Influence Is u powerful factor in thu
determination of the policy the road shall
pursue. Iu addition to this, he is one of
the heaviest of the 14.000 stockholders In
the company, his holdiugs having been re
cently augmented by new purchases.
By resigning the presidency of the system
Mr. Perkins surrenders practtcallyTione of
the power he has held. He has alwuys
maintained his office at Burlington and of
late years has depended on the Beroud vice
president to perform many of the functlous
whlnh usually devolve upon the presldeut
of a great railroad corporation. Meanwhile
Mr. Perkins has held a position in the
Burlington company which corresponds with
that of chairman of the board in other
railroad corporations. It is stated that Mr.
Perkins Is not to become chairman of the
Burlington's board, but will merely retain
the position of leading western director, and
as such will stand iu close touch with
Irrsident George B. Harris, who was last
week chosen as his successor, and who as
vice president has been attending to moM
of the duties pertaining to the ofllce of
president.
Mnrtu h n Clerk.
For almost forty-twft years Mr. Perkins
has been identified with the Interests of the
Burlington railroad iu ltn various forms
Btartlng with the Burlington ft Missouri
River in Iowa In August, 1K50, as a clerk in
the office of Assistant Treasurer Charles R.
Lowell at Burlington, he has been prom
inent In the extension of that road across
the state of Iowa; wub counocted with the
organization or the Burlington & Missouri
River railroad In Nebraska and bus seen
the entire Burlington system grow from a
few small local railroads Into one of the
most Important aud strongest corporations
In the country.
He began to work for a road that had but
eventy-Cve miles of track, and when he
resigned the presidency the Burlington, nf
which the other Is a part, had 8,064 miles,
extending from Chicago to Denver. Cbey
rnue. Guernsey and Billings, while other
lines connect St Louis, Kansas Cltr and

The upbuilding of the road has heeu coin
rldent with the rlso of Mr Perkins For
the last twenty years he has stood at the
head of the corporation us president, aud
IiIb inruenee hus been mainly instrumental
In the liberal policy of expansion which
bus been followed, and In the wise con
servatism which has placed thu stock of the
company on a good basis among the leaders
of the western roads on the stock market.
Ilfeoitif AkntNtiint Trrimurrr.
From the clcrkbhlp Mr. Perkins became
paymaster under Mr Lowell, and succeeded
him us UHblHtant treasurer in lfcGO, being at
ttiat time ouly 20 years of age At that
time Hans Thielseu was the superintend
ent of the Burlington & Missouri River In
Iowa, but when, iu Junuar. 18G5. he came
to Nebraska to make the survey for the road
from Plattsmouth to Kearney Junction, the
beginning of the Burlington k Missouri
River in Nebraska. Mr. Perkins wbb mude
acting superintendent ut Butltngton. When
it became apparent, a few months later,
thut Thielseu was to devote liiE entire at
tention to the extetiKlon of the Burlington
& Mishourl River lines west to the river, the
full title of superintendent was conferred
upon Mr. Perkins. On July 2C. 1B71, tie wub
chosen u director of the Iowa corporation.
Meanwhile Mr. Perkins had interested
himself In the coustrtirtlou of the road lu
Nebraska, becoming one of the incorpora
tors und a member of the first board of
directors, having been chosen to that posi
tion October 2S. 18G9 Mr. Perkins wn
elected vice president November 4, 1K72, the
road bav'lng been opened through to Kear
ney Junction the previous summer.
The reorganization of the official staff
which followed the consolidation of the Iowa
road with the Chicago, Burlington & Qulniy,
the original Illinois roud. under the uame
of the latter, left Mr. Perkins without an
official title lu that organization. Early in
April, two years later, however, he wus
elected to the board of the consolidated road
nnd March 2, 1K7G, be was named as vice
president of that system though be still
retained the vice presidency and general
management of the Nebraska road.
Advniirrk to I'rrfclilenrj .
With the beginning of 1SS0 the Burlington
& Missouri River road In Nebraska entered
the consolidated system of the Chicago.
Burlington & Qulncy. September 29 of the
next yar Mr. Perkins was advaucod to the
presidency and each J ear since then he
has heen re-elected to the position. It Is
on his owu motion that he now retires,
believing that the responsibility for the de
tail management should pass to young
shoulders and feeling confident from the
long experience be has had with him that
Mr. HarrlB will prove a successor who will
carry on the work that he has watched
from the beginuing.
In addition to the offices he has held in
the Chicago. Burlington & Quiucy Mr. Per
kins Is a director and president of the
Hannibal & St Joseph and the Kansas City,
St. Joseph & Council Bluffs railroads, which!
though allied, arc maintained at separate
corporations.
Mr Perkins was born at Cincinnati, O..
November 24, 1S40. He came from old
Puritan stock, the settlement of the family
in this uountry bolng by Edmund PerktnB
In 1650. What schooling Mr. Perkins

A big. burly colored man shuffled Into the
hall of the pollco station yesterday morn
ing. It was Just before roll call and oSccrs
were sauntering to and fro through the
halls, waltlug for the cubtomary exercise to
be finished.
The negro attracted but little attention.
He wns presumably there to whisper a tale
of woe Into the desk sergeant's ears or to
seo some friend whom the minions of the
law had swooped down upon. He passed
along the corridor and reached the entrance
to the desk sergeant's ofllce. when Police
Surgeon Ames caught sight of him.
"You, jou." he called excitedly, "get out
of here. You've got the smallpox."
Cousteruatlou reigned among the officers.
They glunced at the negro ns he burked
toward the door and saw that his face was
broken out with unmistakable marks of the
smallpox. No one ventured post the door
and the colored man bod the whole force
besieged while be stood on the steps out
side waiting for developments. Soon the
pest wagon put In an appearance nnd the
colored man was Ttnnnved t.o the pest house.
The negro's name Is W. W. Smith and
his home Is in Newcastle, lnd. He has been
In Lincoln working as a waiter In one of the
lending hotels. On the train from Lincoln
and lu his march ubout the city in search
of the police station numerous people were
exposed to the disease After Smith had
been temoved from the police statlou the
balls and rooms were thoroughly fumigated
und the ofllrcrs do not anticipate any bad
results from the exposure of the whole
force.
THIS THEORY IS EXPLODED
S. O. Mnriiard of South Omaha U ot
One of the Cndahr
Kldnnprro.
S O Maynard of South Omaha, said to be
a gambler, was urrested yesterduy morning
and brought to the private office of Chief
Pouahue, where be waB closely questioned
ar. to IiIb alleged connection with the kid
naping ease. At the close of the lntervlew
he was sent out to the Cudahy residence
In charge of two officers, where the victim
of the abduction was permitted to see him,
but the latter failed to Identify him. "1
never saw that man before," was the mes
sage he sent back to Chief Donahuo.
One of the detectives who brought May
nard In from South Omahasald: "There
wns some circumstantial evidence against
him tending to show that he was bandit
No. :, as described in the circular. We had
been watching him for some time and
finally thought we'd better clear the matter
up by bringing him In and letting young
Cudahy have a look at him. The fact that
the boy says he never saw him before
makes his identification of Callahan all the
stronger as It shows he has a mind of his
own and will not be shaken when It comes
to testifying on the stand."

Veteran Cnttlrtnaii from Central Col
orado nittertnina Omaha Friend
1 JtrlutliiK liicidrnta of Ilia
Uieltliiir Currrr,
James McMlcken hns reached that ideal
to which most men usplre. After years of
labor and industry he linds himself able
to do about bb he pleases the year uround,
and Junt at present he Is enjoying a visit
In Omahn ifor no other purpose than to
take a rest and Indulge In the pleasures
Incident to life In a metropolitan city.
Mr. McMlcken Is one of the most promi
nent cattlemen In central Colorado. His
home is at Buena Vista and most people
know him ns the Cattle King." but his
modesty forbids him to allow that title id
be applied to hlro without at once enter
ing a protest. At any rate bo Is about the
last of the big cattle dealers left in the
South Purk country nnd is now In a posi
tion where ho Ib profiting from the perBe
vorauce with which he has followed the
cattle business.
The Incidents or his life and the stories
he has related to friends In this city dur
ing the two weeks that he has been here
are of th genulue western order and al
ways secure him cloj attention. One
of the best of these concerns the herd of
wild horses which bothered the cattlemen
of the west for so many years, but which
are now said to be extinct.
JlouiidltiB I thf Iloraen,
"The last I saw of those wild horses,"
said Mr. McMlcken the other day. "was
In 189S, when a party of six of us went
up the gulch between the 'saddles' of
Buffalo Peaks and drove the herd down iu
order to cut out about seven of our horses
which had been mixed Id with the bunoh.
That was a ride for life nnd we had a hot
time.
"It Is twenty-five miles down the gulch
from the head where we round the wild
horses to Hall's salt works, one or the
largest enclosures In that part or the coun
try. The six or us went up the gulch and
camped. Among those in the party I re
member Mel DcWltt. Tom McQuaid, my
partner, and Joe Kluxen. It fell to Joe
and myself to go up and start the horses
down.
"Now. all wild animals are nllke in cer
tain things nnd one of them Is that If you
are lu the way when you are trylnc to
corner them, you want to look out fur your
self, for they will go the way they are In
the habit of gclng, even If they have to
go over or under you. We rode on pant
the timber line until we were about 12,000
feet above sea level aud ten miles above
the first picket stationed below us. We
hadn't been able to get a sight of the
horses until all at once we spied them over
to the right. Another peculiar trait about
most animals Is that you can't drive them
over a ridge when their trail leads down
tho gulch. Eheop are the only ones that
cau thus be driven over, but It Is out or
the question to attempt to drive wild horses
over When the leader gets his head up
In the air and makes a break In your di
canine. Moxinnri nnn -d

"In this tiuneb the leuder wns u fine
black stallion uh. he wns a beauty ns
w-e saw htm standing thcro that day. His
head was away up lu the nlr. As we rode
up. he looked at us and then the others
looked. Their heads went higher aud
higher in the nir. The wlud caught tbolr
manes and their tnlls nnd blew them out
straight. It was a pretty sight, especially
in the excitement or the moment. We knew
that we were about to begin a terrible
rare, which must last tor at least ten miles
and in which one or both of us might be
killed, for we were going to turn our horses
loose In that wild herd and rido down the
mountain with them. To do this our horses
would have to Jump over fallen trccB.
most or which were big cottonwoodB. and
the least misstep would mean that we
would go down.
"Joe rode around behind tbem when tnry
started. We were about 300 yards from
them. I cut across and came lu at the
bend as they flew down the mountain. !
dropped my reins on my horse's nock nnd
let him run with the leader of the wild
bunch. It wns all you can do In a caBe
like that and you can depend on It the
free horse Is more likely to bring you
through safe. Keeping up with the bunch
was out of tho question. On and on we
went down the gulch, the wild horses
pulling away from us every minute. Each
of us had a revolver nnd we fired nnd
shouted almost continually to warn the
other follows below that wo were com
ing, so that they could Join In and rolleve
us from the chase.
"When the herd reached the first picket
we were away In the rear, but he Jolnod In
with the leaders and commenced to shiwt
and shout. We could hear blm circling
through the woods on the lower mountain
as we hurried our horses on down the
Blope. After he had Joined In, It was our
business to follow on as fast us we oould
and keep any of the herd from turning
aside.
C'liuar Lnntii Thrt-e ruj.
"Well, it took us three days to make
that chase dowa tho BuKalo Peaks, but
we succeeded lu driving ten horses Into
the corral. Of that number about six, I
think, wore tame horses belonging to the
cattlemen, and the others were wild ones
that we cut out with the tame ones.
"Those wild horses were practically no
good after they were caught. If you did
lariat one you had to tire it out before you
could handle It By the time you had one
of those horses under control the life was
out of him und he drooped every day. He
never seemed to revive. They were larger
than the ordinary pony and ran from coo
to 800 pounds in w eight. When I first went
out there In 1BS& there were posssibly 200
of them wauderlng about the mouutalnB,
but so far as I have seen and heard they
are extinct now.
"The cattlemen were terribly bothered
by the herds, for tbey would drive off our
riders, and after the domestic horses had
run with the wild ones for two or three
days they wore as wild as any of them.
Tou would seldom see more than one stal
lion in a herd und he wus the leader."
One of the peculiar things about Mr.
McMlcken is that he has never dabbled
In mining. He has been In the heat, or
several mining excitements and r-'u have
gone from his side and become fnbuloufiv
rich In a few days. In explaining bis re
fusal to go Into that busluew, he bays he

"Uh, those fellows get rich In a day and
then they are not satisfied. They keep on
after more gold and the first thing you
know they lose all of the money they
mude. Take Strutton. for Instance. To
my mind he is starting along u courso
where If he don't wutch out he will find
hlmBeir a poor man again. No. I hae
made good money In cattle. It comes slow,
but It is sure, und I am content to make It
a little slower than those fellowb."

A wild car heuvlly loaded wvlth lumber
dashed through the main yards or the
Union Pacific tt 2 Saturday morning nnd
crashed into a train which was being taken
rrom the upper to the lower yard. The
lumber cur und three or four of the cnrB
In the train were budly wrecked and the
lumber was scattered oter that portion of
the jurd.
On top or the car when it started wus
Sam McBridu. one or the twitching crew
which had been at work ut Shenley moving
cars from the Chaflee lumber yards. He
applied the brake to tho cur when it was
desired to stop it. but fouud that the brake
would not work. Then began for McBrld
a thrilling tide, for he stayed at his post
and tried to avert damage to the rolling
stock of the company and accidents whlili
might prove disastrous to life and limb.

Coming down from Sbeeley there Is a
heavy grade, giviug the car momentum,
which ratlrond men say would have carried
It to tho transfer In Council Bluffs If a
sirulgbt track had been secured. MrBri'le
sat on top of the car calling for a straight
track, for he know that ntopping the our
wub then out of the question. Uown tra- k
No. 2 came the wild cur, aud everything
was cleared out of the tvny it, rospotue
to the calls from the plucky switchman,
until Fourteenth street wnb reached
Ewitoh engine No. 1174 was taking a
"drug" of cars from the upper yard, be
tween the two passenger depots, to the
lower yards, and to do this It was to pull
up pust Fourteenth btreet, and then sho o
thorn back down the hill to the yard . n
the bottoms.
Mrllrlde Snr IllnikrU.
From his lookout station on top of 'he
car MoBiido eould see thut a collision with
this Btnng was inevitable He climbed
down the ladder and Just before the curs
came together he dropped to the ground
unhurt, after ac thrilling a ride as a ra i
rocd man has had In tblb vicinity for some
time
Two cars rrom the train were badly de
moralized iu the collision and one othur
was shoved off the track. The lumber rrr
was a total wreck und the lumber was scat
tered to tho four winds. In the rolxup
tho cars picked up the switch shanty at the
croBsing of the tracks and when tbe dUBt
and splnters had settled ngain the shanty
was standing wrong side up and looked d. -cidedly
worse for the experience. Tho
switch tender taw what waB coming and
iwt out of the way before harm maehed hla
