DEADWOOD TRIP INCIDENTS
Ak.ar-Bs Kaewrelowlsta Talk ef
Tbelr Journey to the
Black Bills.
With ths sxceptlon of H. J. Tenfold, the
excursionists who returned from Dead wood
Saturday o!sht were phyoicslly In Bus
hape, and the satisfaction of having en
gineered the best excursion of business men
which ever left the city gave Mr. Penfold
feeling ot pleasure, which outweighed
any physical discomfiture he may have ex
perienced. The treasurer and personal rep
resentative of Samson is suffering from
slight Injuries he received while attempt
ing to walk over unknown ground from the
depot to the train at Hot Springs. .
"The trip will bring results of greater
Importance than any which has ever been
taken by an Omaha party over that terri
tory," said one ofv(hc members. "The peo
ple were exceedingly-friendly at all points.
At Alliance breakfast waa served to the
party as the guest of the business men
of the place."
At one station on the road thers 1
conservative and safe bonlface, who be
lieves that food on tb abelve is better
than food on the table, unlets the pay
therefor Is certain. A telegram waa sent
ahead for meals for ISO guests, and the
order was handled by th agent ot the
road Where the meals war ordered. The
train was running rapidly toward the sta
tion and the dinner hour was approaching
when a telegram was . received from the
agent to this effect:
The landlord t the hotel d-elres to know
If there is any' one man of the pnrty jwho
will stand resjionxlble for payment for the
ISO meals. r
It la not recorded that the Individual
who stood responsible had to meet th
bill, but the dinner waa on hand when the
train arrived.
The run from Grand Island to Omaha
was mads with some remarkable bursts of
speed. The train wss behind the schedule
at several points on the return trip and
th members of the party begsn to "Jolly
the conductor and railroad representative,
talllnr thera how unon the trio out the
train had been ahead of ths schedule and
how wait of longer time than was ex
pected had been made at several stations.
"We will make up time, all right," re
plied the representative of tb road. "You
will be landed In Omaha before 12 o'clock
tonight." At 4 o'clock the representative
began to make good. "Until dark," said
Mel fhl. "the telegraph poles looked like
hog-tight fence, and enough time was made
up to lend us in Omaha with three-quarters
of an hour to spare." .
"Deadwood promised us- -.warm time If
w wculd oorae," sa'd a member1 of the
party, "and made that promise good. If
Its last promise ts made good there will
be few person left 'u that city on he

When th new reached the Ban tee In

was to be In Omaha, Captain Toung. who
holds the position of chief of the Indian
police and two or three other office bn

could not rightly perform Its functions in
h's absence. He was seconded In this
thought by George Jackson, another of the

real and only Wild Weat would not be

the acen ot exhibition. v Funds were not
lacking for the trip, but the Indian ha
a decided objection to paying his eva

ROCK ISLAXD-'FRISCO DEAL
rromlncnt Ea lroad Man Sayi lis Thinks
, It i "A Go." -
CONFLICTING REPORTS OF TRANSACTION
Taktaa Over ef Yoarkwaa Rotil by
Bark Inland Afflrneil la Wall
tree Koaalp About tha
Nesrotlatloaa.
"Ha the Rock Island bought the
Triaco?" That Is the burnlnaquestion of
the railroad world at present. Mott peo
ple who are watching the progress ot af
fairs seem, to think the deal has been
made.
In answer to this question on .ct th
prominent railroad men of the country,
whose Identification with the general man
agement of lending western road and
wboee financial standing in the east en
title him to an opinion worthy of consid
eration, replied: ,
"I think If go."
The query wa put to him by a newspa
per man, to whom ho said. "It you can
divorce yourself from your reportorlal
work for few minute I will talk upon
this matter, but as my nam and road
have been erroneously connected with th
desl already, I cannot afford to be quoted
on It."
Aa yet no formal or official announce
ment of th transaction haa been made.
The men who are given tb credit for
winging the deal refute to speak defi
nitely, and ths trafflo world still wait
and watche. Tb statement nearest to a
confirmation of the purchase Is said to
hsve been made by W. H. Moore of the
Moore Bros, last Thursday, when he said:
"The agreement with the owners of the
'Frisco llner of course, tentative and con
ditional upon the Hc-ck Island's accept
ance of the terms."
"i'p to" th Reek Ialaad.
' Mr. Moore I quoted further a having
aid that the Rock Island people knew
what the 'Frteco wanted and that It was
simply up to the Rock Ialand to accept
or decline.
Others connected with the deal ar
quoted a aaying that there bat been a de
lay of the Rock Island in accepting tha
term of the 'Frisco, due to a mliunder
standing as to whether the market or par
value ojt the railroad stock should govern
the transaction. It I further said that
this question ha become so serious with
the stockholders of ths 'Frisco that It may
lead to the withdrawal of all the options
and the entire dissolution of the deal as
far a made, v.' : ?.
When the deal was originally lannched
this point a to what valuca ahould form
the bails of the transaction. It Is now
aid, vu not clearly defined. Th 'Frisco
people. It Is said, have taken a decided
stand against what must have been ths
original proposition and insist upon the
most advantageous terms, which action
has disconcerted the Rock Islanders and
thrown the deal "In the air probably for
two weeks. ,
In Wall street th taking over of the
Frisco by th Moores road is affirmed In
trong terms. The awarding of 2i,000 shares
or 12,600,000 in the new Rock Island stock
Issue on thefreadjuetment plan ts said to
have been made as a bonus In the trans
action. Assuming that the new Rock Island Se
curities company, "which la already being
classed aa a counterpart of the Northern
Securities company, ha taken over the
stock of the 'Frisco, a New fork paper
says:
The practical effect of -the- new financial
plan aa viewed by Wall street wxa that it
would make it possible for the Moore ln
tereeta who now control the Rock Island,
to retain that control while releasing about
half of their capital now tied up in the
road.
Direct Mae to Ccaat.
Another popular view of the situation Is
that notwithstanding ths announcement
that the company just organized Is not to
be a merger concern formed for the purpose
of fighting Morgan roads, every 'Indication
potnts to the conclusion that the Moore
brothers are eagerly -searching for a direct
line to the Pacific coast, and that with this
deterirrlnatlon In mind they ' are seeking
some sort of aa alliance, not with ' tbo
'Frisco, but with the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe.
After all it is this question of a coast
extension which commends itself to the
people of the west and doubtless to the
transcontinental roads, aa the one of prime
Importance in connection with this deal,
for the argument is made by this class
that without a profitable line to the' Tactile
coast, the whole project of the Rock Island
would be futile. There ar plenty ot peo
ple who agree with the view that the R:ck
Island Is after the Santa Fe, though these
are In the minority, evidently. A theory Is
advanced on what seems to be good ground
tending to show that these two roads could
not be united.
It Is generally admitted, of course, that
what the Rock Island has set out to ac
complish is to dominate the southwestern
territory- To do this successfully it can
not, la the Judgment of many good railroad
men, avoid the acquisition of a direct line
to the western seaboard.' for It is now de
pendent on the Southern Pacific for this
facility and the Southern Paclfio Is to be
come one of Us rivals, so that community
of Interests to even the slightest extent
would be no longer possible with the Har
rltcaa road.
Some time, ago It looked aa If the Rock
Island would bulid a line of its own from
1 Paso to the coast. In fact this went far
beyond the stage of supposition and bad
begun to be accepted as a settled fact, the
withdrawal of th Rock Island from the
Western Immigration aeaoclatlon on the
grounds of unfair dlviaion of percentage
and one or two other such moves, serving
to emphasite this conclusion. But abruptly
this matter has teen dropped and railroad
circlet ar no longer accrediting the El
Paso coast route a a probability.
Involves the Bant Fe.
Tho sudden turn In this affair has bols
tered up the theory that the Rotk Island
had struck some sort of term with the
oanta F whereby that road would become
a part of the Moore property, thus suiting
finally and absolutely the coaat-llne prop
oaltlon. So persistently is this theory
advanced in some quarters that Its adher
ents even afflrm that the deal has actually
been coaeummated, this in face of the ar
gument advanced on other aide that amal
gamation of those two Interests Is not now
possible.
An Oui&ha man a ho haa bea la the ser
vice of both the hock Inland and ,'Frlaco,
sod who is one cf the keenest observers of
th pretent movement, hss this to say re
garding the proposed purchase of the
'Fris:o by the Moores. ,
"To t-Rln with, tha Rock Island mutt
lave a direct line to the coast. It, nor any
road, can expect to attain the standard of
g!atos as a transcontinental line, for
hlch It is striving, without a direct coaat
extension of its own. That much anyo&s
ill sdmtt, I think.
"Now, suppose the 'Rock Island did get
th 'Frisco, how much better tit would it be,
so far at gettlug a coast exteutloa waa cou
cernei? The 'Frtaco wouldn't hlp the
Rock It'iund to solve the problem. It would
still leave the Uoot line in Its pretent. po
sition dependent cn tte Southern Pailtlc.
largely, and that would never da. If the
Hoik UUad wants the 'Frisco as b valu
able outlet or tributary to the southwest
merely, and not as a toast extension, then
It will find It a profitable adjunct, but be
yond this I don't see why It should make a
desperate effort to get the Yoakum road,
for It aff-.rda no sdequata outlet to the coait.
The Rock Inland mlaht as well begin now
and build a through lino of It own to Cali
fornia and iiot bother with the 'Frisco. For
this reason I don't believe the Rock Inland
las consummated any purchase of the
'Frico.
Qaeatlon at Mlleaare.
"What counts today In getting from ocean
to ocean or from this middle west to ths
Pacific coaat is short mllesge. Mileage li
what every road wants to cut down. Un
less a new rosd to tho coast can shorten
th d stancs and time of travel it might a
well keep ont ot th business, for a cir
cuitous rout would never win. And wbo
can say that tho Rock Island could Improv
upon the situation by Acquiring th 'Frisco
ror tb! purpose T If the Reck Islsad would
come north a little way and try t span
th continent by a mora direct route, it
strikes ms that it would bo pursuing a more
practical policy." '
To W. H. Moor 1 attributed , statement
In effect as follows: "Our acceptance ot
the terma offered by th 'Frlaco ia contin
gent upon our ability to utilise tho 'Frisco
to better advantage la reaching th coaat
than by embracing on or two other propo
sitions." - The conclusion ha been drawn that th
two proportion referred to by Mr. Moore
were the construction of a hew line from El
Paso through country traversed by no other
road and the forming of a merger with th
Santa Fe. But up to the present no con
firmation of this Inference or supposition,
ahlcherer It may be, has been obtained
from any source.
If tt La a fact that the Rock Island ha
taken over th 'Frisco or will take It over
another element of considerable Interest,
especially to the present staff of officials
and employe of tho 'Frisco, will present
Itself, namely, the fate of thes men. A
matter ct fact the roads will be run under
the one management and this 1 taken, of
course, to mean that th moo of the 'Frlaco
will have to look tor other positions. To
what extent th decapitation process would
extend 1 not known, of course, but In the
high and low rank of tho 'Frisco's service
thers would be, of necessity, om lively
falling of heads. This Is a matter probably
as pertinent to th 'Frisco employes a any
other that possibly could thought ot at
thia tlm.
Kaaaa,! City Is rrawd.
Already Kansas)' City la claiming that th
New Hock Island company would bo a Kan
sas City Institution and that It would have
it general headquarter in th city by th
Kaw. , The argument Is made that Chicago
would bo too remote a location for th cen
tral offices, aa the company' Interests,
which would lie chiefly in th southwest,
could not bo successfully managed from
that distance. .
The Chicago, Rock Island A Paclfio eye
tern will increase it mileage from (,000 to
over 12,000 if tha purchase ot tb St. Louts
San Francisco is consummated. It will
not only accomplish this, but It will have
secured practical control of the outh west
ern territory and, with its projected exten
sion to tho Pacific coaat, enter I th arena
of railroad competition as a formidable rival
of th Santa. Fe, Union Pacific, Missouri Pa
clfio and Burlington. It will divert an im
mense traffic from the Atlaotle seaboard to
th gulf with the acquisition of tho Mallory'
steamship line, and th. projection ot th
Mobile, Kansas City Jackaon railroad to
Memphis. Already Its potency as a rival In
the field of competition between Chicago
and the Mississippi river is asaurad try it
recent acquisition of the Burlington? Cedar
Rapids A Northern., , f
Another element of strength to be consid
ered, assuming that th Rock Ialand will, or
haa, secured control of the 'Frisco, 1 that
It will have acquired poyiMslon ot th Chi
cago ft Eastern Illinois railroad, whose sale
to the 'Frisco is conceded in Wall street
and by other aources of authority. This will
afford a degre ot prestige, east of th Mis
slsslppl of no insignificance. . The Chicago
Eastern Illinois does not touch tho 'Frisco
St any juncture, tho nearest point of com
munication being several hundred miles,
but the two lines, it hi said, could -very
easily be profitably united, which, pf course,
would be done If the pending transactions
go through. The Chicago & Eastern Illi
nois extends south aa far as Thebes, III.,
and Evanavllle, Ind.

Th Union. Paclfio It threatened with an
other -element of labor trouble. Tho
bricklayer oa tb new Omaha shop build
ing may enter th arena of th atrik and
complicate matter ' seriously by delaying
work on th new structures that wer to
hav been computed August 16 and turned
over to th new force of mechanic who
have taken th place of tho' strikes.
Two version of th trouble among tb
bricklayer ar given, one by labor repre
sentative and th ether by General Fore
man Neff, who baa charge of the construc
tion for th Union Pacific. Th labor
union men sum up th situation in thla
manner:
"The Union Paclfio haa Issued order to,
hv all th union, bricklayer discharged
and their place filled by nonunloa men.
These nonunion men ar to b h.r thla
wek, probably today, and go to work or
attempt It. We know of o reason for
thl action by th company except that It
s.eks to hav th work don mora cheaply.
If thl .order Is put Into effect all th
bricklayers will, of course-, unit , against
the company and, aa thla action will
vitally affect the Building Trade council,
very union man a work on the new
shops, including those of all other craft,
will strike."
General Foreman Neff aayst
"I hav heard nothing of any order to
discharge any or all of tha union brick
layer. If such an order had been Issued
I would hav known of it, I thin, a I
hav charge of all th man for th com
pany: Wot have I heard of any move to
employ nonunion men. I don't think any
such move haa been made. Tb only
trouble of which I hav any knowledge ta
simply this:
Bricklayer Quit Work.
"Th union bricklayer working under
Contractor Qlndele have quit work. Why
I do not know. I asked Mr. Olndelo why
the men quit and I forget Juat what he
said. He gave some reason, but I cannot
recall what It was. I asked him if b
could not, indue th mn to return to
work, for we could not afford any further
delay, but ao far the men how o in
clination to yield."
"Have any nonunion men been employed
to take tb union bricklayers' places?"
was asked itr. Neff.
"Not that I bare heard of," he replied.
Th bricklayer working under Con
tractor Otndel hav bad nothing to do
with th large smokestack, 1but hav been
kept on the buildings, two ef which re
main to be completed.' Mr. Neff boa had
sol charge of those on the smokestack,
but if there is anything resembling a strike
or lockout all th bricklayer will b af
fected and. It Is said, will act unitedly.
Superintendent , of Motive Power McKeen
was asked regarding th situation, but a
that work does not come under hi Juris
diction he waa able to g!v no information
on it. H declared hs knew nothing at all
about the matter. Chief Engineer Berry
of th Union Paclfio could cot be communi
cated with. The bricklayer wer as silent
and tlgbt-rooutbed as clams when asked for
aa expretsloa as ta their sld ot the case.
On ef them managed, after considerable
apparent effort, to remark, "Walt until
tomorrow and you'll see."
"If any attempt Is made at Introduction
of nonunion men to supplant th brick
layer there will b some merry time,"
said ft Union Pacific striker, who eUlmed
to b posted regarding tb matter. Brick
layer ar regarded aa strict and uncom
promising unloa men a can be found and
are not jBQertl! th most affable to what
the terra "scabs."
Smokestack 1 Strack.
Regarding the work oa th new shop
General Foreman Neff stld tt was progres
sing as well a th weather would permit.
Ths large smokestack, whose total height
will be 205 feet, was struck by the light
ning Saturday night and about twenty feet
at the top rent so seriously that much
of It will hav to b tern down and re
built. The stack waa neartng completion.
In ths shop striker situation affairs ar
still moving along by alow degrees. The
company has determined to stay with It
piecework policy, a is eviienoed by th
employment ot a general plocework fore
man or Inspector for the entlr system of
shops. This position. Ilk that of general
boiler inspector, has been created, and W,
I. Langford. recently of the Pennsylvania
system west of Pittsburg, ho beer, secured
to nil ths place. Mr. Langford is recom
mended as a skilled shopman and thoroughly
fitted for this peculiar position.
Th company Introduced twenty-three
more nonunion men luto it Omaha shop
yesterday. They bad no trouble la reach
ing tha yards and all will be kept here.
It is said, rather than sent out to other
towns along the road. Th company feels
encoursged at th progress Its affair ar
making and consider that th atrik 1
