HITCH IN RIFLE COMPETITIVE PR06RAM
How Much Disadvantage Attach to
Carbine ta Target Practice
Is Likely to Be Officially
Settle at Last.
The delay In arranging the programs for
the Infantry rifle competition at Fort Leav
enworth which will be held next week la
due to the efforts of the members of ths en
gineer corps to enter members In ths event.
There are four companies of engineers, and
no provision Is mad for them In ths way
of rifle competition. They are armed with
Krag-Jorgenaen carbmes, a gun similar In
verf way except as to length to tho rifles
of ths Infantry. Thsy could possibly be ac
commodated In the competition, but they
are asking that the length of the gun be
considered and that the four men which
they desire to enter be given as advantage
of a certain percentage on account of the
difference in the length of the piece. Thla
the manager of the competition are not
Inclined to do at this time, and the en
gineers are standing out. It may be that
the handicap will be permitted, or .they
' may enter regardless of the difference In
the length of the gun. Until this question
Is settled the programs will not be issued.
Captain Wright, Inspector of small arms

BRIGGS ANSWERS DUNN'S PLEA
oath Omaha Chief of Police Denies
Several of tho Depntr Connty
Attorney's Averments.
John Briggs, chief of police of South
Omaha, has made his answer and return to
the writ of mandamus asked by George W.
Shields, county attorney, who had com
plained that Brlgga has not been sufficiently
vigilant In pursuit of gamblers nor fur
nished him with evidence on which to
prosecute.
In the answer Briggk admits that It is
his duty to arrest, with a warrant, anyone
properly charged with an offense before a
magistrate having jurisdiction of the of
fense, but denies that It Is hi duty to ar
rest without a warrant any person whom
he has good reason to believe guilty of vio
lating a state -law or city ordinance, ex
cept when such offense is a felony. He de
nies that It is his duty to furnish the
Shields-Dunn vigilantes evidence, but states
that he Is and always has been
willing to tell- them whatever he
could. He avers that one of the deputies
ones complained to him of suspected gam
bling, but never went farthor In the matter.
He will, be affirms, arrest any whom he
finds violating the gambling laws In South
Omaha, but as yet has found none ab occu
pied, nor ha there been complaint filed with
blm by any of the Bouih Omaha people.
The writ, he Insists, has no foree when
dlreoted to him, as he is but ths ap
pointee of the mayor, subject to removal
at any time and without power either to
appoint or discharge any of the men on his
force, but merely to assign them to their
beats and superintend their work.
W. C. Lambert filed the paper and be
fore the ink was dry Ignatius Jehovah Dunn,
"deputy county attorney in and for the
county of Douglas," was on hand to get it.

H South
Thirteenth street, about 7 o'clock by J. C.

disease and will likely hold no inquest.
Underneath Grollemunt's bed was found
an old, battered tomato can, tn which was
$640 In gold and paper money. This was
turned ever to the county ' court by the

NEARER THE RESERVATION
Elkhorn'g Verdigris Extension .Slowlj
Eoaohing Out to the North,
TEN MORE MILES ARE ALMOST READY
Branch Line Into ew Country Will
Be Completed and tn Operation
In Time to Handle the
" Fall Business.
The Elkhorn is gradually getting nearer
the portion ot the Rosebud Indian reserva
tion to be opened In the near future. Ten
miles more of Its Niobrara branch, which
extends from Verdigris, the old terminus,
has been completed, or will be by Saturday
night. General Manager Bidwell stated
that by that time the line would be finished
as far a Virdel, which la twenty-one miles
from Verdigris. This last ten miles baa
been finished sines about July 4.
"We have no doubts now that our line
will be completed by September," said Mr
Bidwell, "for we have all the material and
help required and are progresaltg with un
usual facility with the work. There was
some talk that we undertook the construe
tlon ot thla piece of road, because we be
lleved the Rosebud reservation was to be
opened by the congress just adjourned and
that since congress at the first session did
not throw open the reservation, we bad
abandoned our plan of construction. I
wish to say thattbJs is not trus In any
particular. We were not Influenced at all
by the matter of the opening ot the reserv
ation and are proceeding with our work re
gardless ot the action ot congress in de
ferring the admission of settlers to the
Rosebud and will have It completed and In
opeiatlon long before the winter session.
which will afford the first opportunity for
congress to act."
Where the Road Runs.
When completed the Niobrara branch will
cover a dlatance of sixty-seven miles, ex
tending from Verdigris to two and a half
miles west of Bonesteel. Thl traverses
Boyd county, Nebraska, and Gregory
county. South Dakota, and will be the first
railroad through that section. The Elkhorn
Intends to erect station at - every town
slong the road as soon as possible. The
extra milesge beyond Bonestsel is for slock
yard purposea.
The road will not be thrown open tor
transportation by regular trains until ths
construe. len work reaches Lynch, which Is
thirteen miles west of Virdel, the point ot
completion now. Construction trains. Gen
eral Manager Bidwell says, will ba used for
all business up to that point. The line will
pass through every town along the general
route traversed, except Butte, which It will
have to skip owing to tbs abrupt elevation,
which Is not accessible to construction or
transportation.
As tbsre are 2,600 quarter aectlons of
land tn that part of the Rosebud reservation
to be opened, and which will be tapped by
the new road, the Elkhorn counts on driving
the opening wedge to a settlement ef some
20,000 people and the opening up of a very
fertile strip of country to permanent home
uteadera. llill-llarrluian Fight.

Hill fight and marks a victory for the for 1
mer. In thla connection U Is recalled that
President Hill ot the Great Northern sought
to get hold ot the Milwaukee a year and a
halt ago during the great Wall street bat
tle which resulted In his defeating Hani-
man for tho acquisition of the Burlington.
It was Hill's orfglnal plan to capture the
Milwaukee, but' failing In this he set his
net for the Burlington and after a des
perate conflict with the Union Paclfio peo
ple landed that property.
"But the Union Paclfio never quits and
Mr. Harrlman was simply animated to
greater activity by that defeat," said a
local official, "and now it looks as If be
had captured the very road which Mr. Hill
wanted and failed to getnd, therefore, he
has hsnded the great northwesterner a
stiff upper cut,' for acquisition ot the
Milwaukee by the Union Paclfio means a
powerful Harrlman rival to the Hill roads
in the northwest"
It Is believed that the plans announced
by the Milwaukee ot beginning the ex
tension of its line to Seattle, from Its west
em terminus, Everts, 8. D., will be car
ried through now without delay and that
construction work will be pushed with all
possible energy and facility.
nenvwittsT Roadbeds.
The unusually heavy precipitations of
this summer and spring have made lots
of work for the construction departments
of railroads. The Burlington has found It
necessary to renew Its roadbed on the
southern main division from Wymore to
Oxford, a distance ot 181 miles, because ot
the Infirm condition In which It wa left
by - the continuous rain. A large force
of men has been put to work to make the
road as near washout proof as can be.
