THIBETANS COULD NOT REACH ENEMY

Fearfal Fire from
Rlflee.
LUNA. Thibet, April l.-The Thibetan
reneral. the whole of hla personal escort
and five high Lhasa officials were among
the hundreds killed In the fighting of
Jieeh Zl at Ouru. Thibet.
The small British losses are accounted for
br the fact that the Thfbetana were so
huddled together that the majority were
unable either to use their swords or to fire.
The awordsmen In the front rank could
net reach the Sikhs, who had fixed bay
onets, while the mun In the middle of the
mob could not reach the. enemy, but many
of them probably afllerl ecch other In the
mad excitement. The scene recalled old
time fighting In cockpits, the grim, deter
mined faces of the Thibetans, lighted with
savagery, expressing contempt for the
Sikhs, whom they outnumbered tlx or
even to one.'
When the general fired the first 'shot
the Thibetans with wild shouts drew their
words, fired their matchlocks and surged
forward. About a dosen swordsmen made
a desperate rush In the direction ' of ' Col
onel McDonald and a small knot of offi
cers. Four Thibetans attacked Mr. Cand
ler, the correspondent of the London
Dally Mall, but Colonel McDonald seised
a rifle and shot down two of them at a
few yards, and another officer killed the
other two, thus saving Mr. Candler's life.
Those of the Thibetans who tried to
climb the wall met with a'terrlble maga
alna rifle fire, but they did not falter,
those beyond springing over the heaps of
dead and continuing the fight until riddled
with bulllets. The mountain battery was
brought Into action and tore the retreating
lines with echrapnel. The trail of dead and
dying marked the line of march. At
length, the last wounded, limping Thibetan
turned the corner, some 400 yards from
the scene of the grfm tragedy, where the
beat of the Thibetan army had perished.

REWARD FOR THE MURDERER
Fear Hisiral Dollars Offered for
layer of Maa Foaad at
Creaton.
Chief of Police Donahue has received
advica from Sheriff Burns of Columbus,
Neb., stating that a reward of $400 la
offered for the murderer of the man found
In a vacant bouse about a mile from Ores
ton. Neb., last Tuesday morning.
The man had an ugly bullet wound In
the head, had a card bearing the name of
"William O'Brien" and a copy of The Bee
dated the day before the discovery of the
body and bearing the imprint of the Omaha
Union station news stand stamp.
Part of the plunder stolen from a store

the vacant bouse, but just what connection
nay exist between the dead body and the
burglary la aa yet an unsolved mystery.
Sheriff Burns states that some parties are
coming from Minneapolis with a view to

knives and rasora and a revolver. It is
supposed that the man was killed by his
companions In crime, for fear that he

OLD SOLDIER IS RELEASED
Clesired by Aid of Three Comrades
Beeaaee Mortgage Waa Wot
Recorded.
The case of James Shepherd, the old sol
dier charged with removing mortgaged
property out of the county, has been dis
missed In police court snd the defendant
discharged. It was shown that the mort
gage on which the action waa based was
not acknowledged according to law and
therefore could not be Introduced as evi
dence In the case.
Shepherd, who Is a mefnbsr of the Vnlon
Veterans' league, Grand Army of the Re
public, was represented by W. g. Shoe
maker, Major Miller and S. I. Gordon, all
old soldiers and anxious to sen their com
rade In arms come out of the fray with
colors flying. .
The charge was that Shepherd removed
some household goods, on which the com
plainant, F. H. Andrews, held a mortgage,
to Colorndo, where the furniture Is said
to have been sold. Shepherd claims he has
psld Andrews the amount of the principal,
3, several times over In Interest, and that
he was forced to dispose of the chattels
In Colorado while he was sick and without
funds.
Shepherd has a lnrge family and his needs
are being looked after by his comrades of
the I'nlon Veteran league.
Andrews, who is a barber, emphatically
declares he never charged or received one
cent of Interest and that Shepherd never
paid him but 111 of the principal.

Pay I Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars for
the Methane Property.
DEAL IS MADE ON A CASH BASIS
Plans for Sew Farnam Street Edlflce
Will Be Made toon aad
Gronnd Broken for
Work.
An epoch-marking event In the church
history of Omaha occurred yesterday, when
a deal was closed whereby the board of
trustees of the Kountse Memorial Luth
eran church will come Into possession of
a new site for Its place of worship as soon
as the necessary papers can be made out.
The new site has a south frontage on
Farnam street, between Twenty-sixth and
Twenty-seventh avenues, and has been
familiarly known as the McShtrne property
for many years, although It passed Into
the Hotchklss estate of New York City
about six years ago.
The property has a frontage of 259 feet
and a depth of 152 feet and was sold
through W. 11. Thomas, 503 First National
bank building, representing the Hotchklss
estate, to II. Q. Harte, chairman of the
board of trustees of the Kountxe church,
the consideration being $26,000 cash.
There are two residences on the . west
part of the property and It Is the Intention
to build the new church on the east 112
feet of the site, leaving the houses undis
turbed. Mr. Harte states that plans for
the new edifice will be made soon and the
ground broken for the new church without
delay. It Is est nated that the new bully
ing will cost $i'.0OO.
Cost of Present Property.
The present site of the Kountze Memorial
church, Sixteenth and Harney streets, re
cently was sold to Judge J. H. Neville for
$90,000 and the north third of the property
was disposed of to Shukert during the
stringent period for $26,000. The property
originally cost $3,500 when bought In 18X1,
since which time It has been occupied by
the same church congregation.
The last service to be held In the present
building will be on Sunday, April 10, and
on the following evening a farewell recep
tion will be held In the building. The work
of tearing down the present house of wor
ship has alrendy begun.
It has not yet been decided where ser
vices will be held until the new church Is
ready for occupancy, but It Is expected that
this mutter will be settled tit a meeting
of the board of trustees some time next
week.
The selection of the new Bite on Farnam
street Is looked upon as a happy compro
mise between .those who favored a down
town site and others who thought it wise
to locate at some distance from the busi
ness district.

The f Motor Cycle.
Few people ever stop to think what the
Motorcycle really Is; supposing It to be a
crude piece of machinery, violent and dan
gerous, they shun It. The first bicycles
were thought no more of than were the
first Autos and these little more of than
the Motorcycle, but a little time and the
Motorcycle, will stand high above them all,
because It Involves more advantages than
both of the others-combined.
Long experiments with these and with
the gasoline engine give the Motorcycle
the latest, best and safest productions from
the Inventors. In fact It Is such a pim
ple machine that anyone can learn to ope
rate or repair one In an extremely short
time. The speed can be regulated from
five to forty-five miles per hour. This
machine not only Involves time-saving ad
vantages for the business man, but for
the pleasure seeker. No stopping for hills
or bad roads, no pushing or pumping till
one Is worn out with exertion, but free,
easy riding without effort or exertion.
All In all, the Motorcycle la a time-saving,
labor-saving, health-giving Invention.

Just a little something doing all the
while; not an Idle minute, and certainly not
dull minute, during the wholo show,
and the Cohan family Isn't the whole
thing, either. Naturally, Mr. and Mrs.
Cohan and their gifted son and equally
gifted daughter occupy a great deal of
space in the lime light, but there are
others In the cast, and each has his or
her work to do, and it Is done In a way
that Is most artistic. "Running for Office"
needs a new adjective to describe It. It
has farce and comedy and music in It, al
though hardly enough of the latter Inr
gredlent to make It a feature; and It has
some vaudeville, and some serious acting,
and It Is full of fun from the time the
lid la pulled off until the can is emptied.
The little plot It contains Is sufficient to
tell a good story. A widower marries a
widow, and each conceals from the .other
the fact that there are children. The
widow has a son and the widower has a
daughter, both In school near the home
of the widower, who Is running for the
office of mayor of his own town on the
prohibition ticket. The young people fall
In love with each other and very natural
complications follow, which are worked
out on original lines, with the result that
much fun Is engendered. In every way
the piece is bright, even sparkling at
times, and many pretty little bits of new
ness are offered In each act. This is one
of the greatest recommendations for the
Cohan offering; they don't do what one
naturally expecta them to, but do some
thing else, and keep the laughter going
all the while. Everybody named In the
cast has something to do, and every bit
of It Is done well. George Cohan's songa
and the dancing of he and his sister
Josephine are the main points of the pro
gram, but the chorus is pretty and can
sing, and the character acting of Messrs.
Manning, Keough, Keefe, Sullivan and
Mack and Miss Nlvens Is excellent.
