(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Auk. U (flpeclal.) Nebraska
populists are alarmed at the report that
Ttryan la to be ln-lted to spesk In New
York by Chairman Taesart, who desires to
combat th successful invasion of the Wat
son and Tibbie forces by brlnfflnir another
radical to pit against them. There la a be
lief anions; some of the democratic poli
tician. It Is stated, that the popullata. with
their present organization, may be ablo to
lead many of the llryan followers out of
the democratic ranks Into the Watson col
umn. The result of that would be to m.ke
the atate more certain for Poosevelt, and
the democratic managers will bend every
effort te keep the popullMs from leading;
these democrats out of the party. The
leaders admit that the problem of coping
Willi Hie radicals is on" f the most serious
which they will have to meet.
Fhould Mr. Hryan appear for the Tarker
democrats on a New York rostrum, the
Nebraska antl-fuslon populists will become
restive. They objected to him because of
his support of the Parker ticket, but then
ha had done nothing against populism ex
cept to shape his course Independently, un
less he takes part In the campaign to beat
out the populists in New York.
War la At 111 On.
The police and the traction company still
pass one another without a nod. Today
Officer Joerger filed suit against the com
pany for 5,000 damages. Joerger was rid
Ina or. the car yesterday morning- with a
soft hat on his head Instead of a helmet.
The conductor Insisted upon the payment
of fare. Upon Joerger'a refuBal the con
ductor took his hat as surety for the fare,
which he paid out of his own pocket.
Joerger says in his petition that he was
much humiliated without Just cause and
compelled to walk bare-headed through the
streets while being subjected to other In
dignities. This Is the first move in what
threatens to be a bitter contest between
the police and the company.
Barker Keeps Boar.
Frank Barker, who Is under sentence to
be hanged a" week from Friday, is at work
today wheeling cement for workmen within
the walls of the prison. He la not com
pelled to work. The warden, out of defer
ence to tha usual custom, would rather
keep the man In seclusion because of the
nearness of the day for the execution, but
he was obliged to accede to Barker's re
quest for work. The man pined away when
shut up In his cell for three days, and now
the workmen witness the unusual apectable
of a fellow laborer, whose life Is drawing
to a close on the gallows, working along
contentedly at their sides.
The demeanor of Barker has changed but
little. Hs appears to be a stolid country
fellow with a trifle more than the average
Intelligence. He doea not care much for
his life, and listens listlessly to the talk
of his attorney. He does not mention the
execution, although at one time he assured
tho warden that he would not give him any
trouble.
"I do not know why I murdered Dan and
Alios (his brother and slster-ln-law)," he
said gloomily to a visitor.
Barker's execution will take place without
tall, unlaw1 fcetweerr. -thei, present time and
September-1 ila attorney: flies an appeal In
the supreme court. It Is quit generally
believed that such ' action will bo taken,
but the delay Is making some of the of
ficials who will have to act in case the
execution takes place, rather nervous. The
moment the petition In error Is filed the
sentence of the Webster county court will
be stayed, and Barker will have a, few
months' additional lease of life.
Mickey Was Pleased.
Governor Mickey, who returned to the
city this morning, expressed his satisfac
tion with the results of the encampment.
He was particularly pleased witn the grand
review on Monday, when all the troops led

John Bryan, manager for the American
Beet Sugar company, was looking after
the company's Interests here Tuesday. Mr,
Bryan expresses the opinion that the aver
age yield per acre of the beets raised for
the company in this valley will at the least
calculation reach eight tons. He considers
this a conservative estimate and thinks
that there Is a possibility of there being
ten tons.
The company" which Mr. Bryan repre
sents has 1,600 acres between North Platte
and Julesburg. For these beets the grow
ers will receive S6 per ton. This will bring
Into circulation In this section of country,
on a basis of eight tons to the sere,
ti'ifl.OOO. The Standard company has about
the same acreage In this territory, and
there is every reason to believe that this
company's crop will yield as well ss that
of the Amerlcsn people. This will bring the
sum up to $120,000.

who took it because it was forced upon

the ground floor In the court house, with
Judge Edward L. Adams presiding and C.
E. Phillips, secretary. At the same time
tha democrats sat in convention In the
court room up stairs, with H. H. Mauck
presiding snd II. W. RLsley as secretary.
The democrats adopted their resolutions
without any trouble, ss It was a rehash
of the one presented at the late county
convention, but the populists got tangled
up over the free transportation proposition
and finally adopted thst part of their reso
lution which makes the giving .or receiving
of a railroad pass a criminal offense. The
only thing left after the adoption of the
resolutions was to nominate a candidate
for congress, but this proved a hard propo

Stubbs, John Thompson snd Judge Dungan,

NOW FOR FEDERAL TROOPS
Packers 8eek to Flaoe Uncle 8am Over
Destinies of Btriks.
T. J. MAH0NEY DISCLOSES THE PURPOSE
Deelares His Clients Cannot Get
Justice la South Omaha Courts,
hut Can Dn Better In
Rational Tribunal.
T. J. Mahoney, one ot tne attorneys for
South Omaha packers, finally has acknowl
edged the concerted effort on the part of
his clients and associates to station federal
troops at South Omaha and along the rail
roads from Omaha to the strike centers
snd also to concentrate all legnl proceed
ings In the federal court from which the
Injunction Issued to the packers.
Tills action has been anticipated by the
strikers since the strike begun. Mr. Ma
honey admits more satisfactory results can
be obtained by this process than by having
city and county ofilcers preside over the
destinies of the strike.
"This course has been determined upon
for several reasons," the representatives of
the packers say. "The principal one is be
cause the packers claim they can get no
Justice in South Omaha. They also say
they do not desire to encumber the county
court with a lot of cases that renlly should
not be brought there. It Is also asserted
that by keeping the whole strike trouble
within the confines 'of one court proceed
ings can be greatly simplified and the fed
eral court has been selected as the one
best suited to the purpose."
Likes That Court Better.
"That tribunal can, I think, call upon the
United States troops -to enforce Its man
dates," said T. J. Mahoney. "While a de
mand for government troops will only be
made as a last recourse, such a move is
possible. Severnl rumors have been circu
lated lately to the effect that attacks were
to be made by strikers upon the trains
carrying worklngmen to and from the pack
ing houses. If this Is done, although I hope
and think It will not be, It will be a most
flagrant violation of the Injunction restrain
ing the strikers from Interfering with the
business of the packing houses. The United
States court could then, I think, call out
the government troops to prevent a repe
tition of such an offense. If there was rea
sonable ground to believe that such a crime
was about to be committed the court would
also then be Justified in calling out the
troops to maintain order. It also can call
upon the troops to enforce Its mandate
against Interference with packing house
worklngmen on the part of the strikers
whenever It deems such a course neces
sary." Striker Held on Ball.
A warrant for Stephen Howard, a striker,
was sworn out by Special Deputy Sheriff
Clyde A. Davis in the oouni.y court yester
day afternoon. The defendant is accused
of resisting and abusing the officer Tuesday
night. Howard waived examination when
arraigned before Judge Vlnsonhaler. He
was held for trial under 400 bail.
No Disturbances nt South Omaha.
No disturbances occurred during the day
In packing house strike circles. Along Q
street very few union men congregated, and
Sheriff Power had no difficulty in taking
out the dummy train, which left Swift's at
6 o'clock. There was less hooting from the
crowds along the line of the dummy train
in South Omaha and the sheriff thinks that
he has succeeded in a measure in eliminat
ing this feature from the morning and even
ing trips of the dummy.
Neither the police nor the deputy sher
iffs were called upon during the day to
protect trains with laborers bound for the
packing houses. Today some of the pack
ers say that they expect to get in men to
take the places of colored men discharged.
Manager Urquhart of the Omaha Packing
company seems so well pleased with his
thirty Japanese that he is talking about
getting more. General Manager Murphy of
the Cudahy company seems to be taken
with the Idea, and It was reported last
night that he had Intimated that he would
like to try a few Japs as an experiment.
The packers say that they made a very
satisfactory kill Wednesday and of the
receipts 967 cattle were bought, 4,527 hogs
and 2,883 sheep. Speculators bought 3,000
hogs for shipment. An increase in receipts
is looked for at the yards today.
Canard Exploded.
Last night the police were notified that
a- bunch of jinion men numbering about
twenty-five were hidden In tho weeds at
Thirteenth and Missouri avenue waiting
for strike breakers to get off the Walnut
Hill car. It was stated by people living In
the vicinity that strike breakers go to
Omaha on the dummy train and then re
turn to South Omaha by electric line, get
ting off at the turn and walking home,
An Investigation was made by the police.
but no strikers could be found and no one
getting off the cars at Thirteenth and Mis
sour! avenue was molested.
The offer of the packers made several
days ago to assist worthy men in securing
homes In Omaha was quite a toplo on the
streets during the afternoon. While the
packers say that their offers are being
freely accepted, the union men declare that
very few. If any, of the men now working
In the packing houses propose residing In
Omaha and working here. When the offer
of the packers was first made public there
was a scare among rental agents in the
city. It was feared that any number of
houses would be vacant during the winter
and that rents would be greatly reduced.
The scare Is not over yet, but 'from present
Indications there Is no sign of a reduction
In rents or any exodus to Omaha.
Hod wins' Condition.
C. W. Hodglns was reported resting easily
at the South Omaha hospital last night.
He was conscious a number of times dur
ing the afternoon, but his physician, Dr.
W. L. Curtis, would not permit anyone
to speak with him on account of his pre
carious condition. While Chief Brlggs Is
working on this case himself, he has only
caused the detention of one man, M
Golden, who operated the cigar store on
Q street where Hodglns waa found after
the assault. Golden asserts most positively
that he does not know anything about the
assault, but he will be questioned again
by the chief before he Is released from
custody.
Deputy United States Marshal Allen was
In the city last night looking up wit
nesses and serving subpoenas In the Illnkle
and other cases. Some of the cases to
be heard today are to be tried before
United States Commissioner Anderson, who
has an office on the fourth floor of the
federal building.
Vice President Stephen Vail and other
labor leaders declined to discuss the strike
situation last night.
Federal Ofllelale Sot TalklnaT.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. In tho r.bsence
of any official Intimation that the aid of
the federal government Is to b invoked at
Omaha In behaU of the packing Interests
the responsible officials of the administra
tion In Washington prefer not to discuss
what course might be followed If such a
request comes, except to say that It would
depend altogether on the showing that
might be made. It Is pointed out very
clearly by them, however, thst a request
for federal assistance of the character re
ferred to muat come from the legislatur
of the state or from the governor. In that
event the matter would be promptly taken
up for consideration.
An exception to this might be permitted
in the event that the United States mar
shal was unable to enforce an order that
might be obtained as a result of steps
taken by the packing Interests, In which
case that official could csll on the Depart
ment of Justice for whatever assistance
he might need.

South Omaha, but that these six had gone
to Sheelytown to visit friends. After they
got there they heard of the fight and
started to the scene of action, so they testi
fied, and got In line of the deputies' bullets.
when they bent a hasty retreat to a con
venient basement, where they were later
arrested by the police. The same story was
told six tlms without variation.
According to the story told by the two
deputies both covered themselves with glory
In the dramatic affair. Adnms was the first
on the stand and he told how he saw a
hunch of strikers coming down the track,
forcing a band of deputies ahead of them.
Then he said the deputies began to shoot
and he remembered vividly how he had
backed one stalwart striker down a steep
Incline with his revolver. He secured this
man's hat after knocking him down, he
said, but things were so mixed up he could
not arrest him. He still has tho hat for
evidence, he said, though he didn't know
where the man was.
Klaussen's story at times took a tragical
turn.
"I saw the bunch of strikers running
down the track, with the deputies In front
of them. They were throwing rocks and
some of them had revolvers. I hastily
backed my men Into a draw, so that the
strikers could not surround them, and then
I yelled, 'Fire!' and we let loose at them.
I told my men to fire, because by this time
out of the thirty deputies only eight of us
remained In sight, the others having taken
to the weeds. I saw that young man
(pointing to Wasglo) running up the bank
with a rock In his hands. I pointed my
revolver at him and said: 'You throw
that rock and I will shoot you.' The man
backed down the hill and I didn't see him
any more until the police arrested him."
When asked by the prosecutor If he had
commanded his men to shoot at the strik
ers or In the air, Klaussen replied:
"I didn't tell them where to shoot. I
said 'Are.' I wanted to stop those strikers,
and we did."
As a result of the riot Monday Sheriff
Power has placed his deputies at Sheely
town under orders of Police Officer Mike
McCarthy, one of the old-time men on the
force. This morning McCarthy discharged
five of the deputies, two of whom were
colored. One of the discharged men was
"Captain" Gus Burk, who, It was reported
at the station, lost his Job because he per
sisted In "rushing the can." It is said at
the station that McCarthy would discharge
the present deputies as rapidly as possible
and have them replaced by men more to
the liking of the residents1 of Sheelytown.
Special Deputy Sipes, charged with as
sault, was arraigned In police court and his
hearing set for Saturday. SI pes told the
police that he acted in self-defense when
he struck Slgmund Sawsckl.
