After holding up David MeBorley, the bar
tender in John Doody's saloon. In Council
Bluffs, at the point of a revolver last
of the club will be effected. It Is likely
that In general plan It will follow that of
the Omaha Field and Country clubs. The
recreations will Include golfing, tennis and
similar outdoor sports. There will be a
clubhouse and dancing pavilion. So far as
ascertained the sentiment of all the mem
bers Is to locate somewhere on the new car
line to Fort Crook, within obout'three miles
of the city. Some of the line rolling slopes
fronting on the river will probably be the
choice. 1 '
The plans for buying or gaining access to '
these grounds are. so far as discussed, three
In number. It Is believed that the list of
names contains a party who Is willing on
his own responsibility to purchase the links
from whom the organisation can procure a
reasonable lease. If this is not secured. H
Is likely that a long-time lease can be pro
cured from aome of the property owners In
that section. Or It may be that the club
will Incorporate and issue bonds, which will
be bought up by the members In sufficient
amounts to moet the necessary expense
of purchase.
Another plan was to make the Initiation j
fee aa high a IWP and so put the club on a
cash basis at once. There was a difference ! 2
of opinion expressed on the subject, some
believing that such a move would prevent
a large per cent of the young men from j aj
Joining. These young men are the life of ,
the organltatlon. If the experience of other
clubs count for anything. It Is .thouaht aa
hardly the thing to put a prohibitory lnitl-

The organ of the rrafters has becun its
tirade and will continue to tell ol the
. compact between the breweries and the
Civic Federation. If these saloon keepers
vlolnte the law while these appeals are
pending their saloons will be closed in a
day and the license money forfeited to
the city. J don't expect in the future any
trouble about Sunday closing.
Breweries would like to keep this Issue
alive to make it an Issue at the cominx
campaign, but the public sentiment is vastly
different from what it was three years ao.
and Jf an iasue is made of this matter the
man who stands for Sunday closing will re
ceive more votes than all the others put to-
geiher. If occasion demands, the ministers
will go Into the pulpits and stand forth for
the cause. This was the Issue last year In

among his friends as "Buck" MeBorley.
was shot through the palm of his left
hand while attempting to. wrench the re
volver away frt?m Ryan.
Shortly before 7 o'clock Ryan entered the
saloon with a companion and took two or
three drinks. When his companion left
Ryan tood at the end of the bar conversing
with MrSorley. who was alone, although his
brother and two companions were In a rear
room playing cards. Suddenly Ryan drew a
revolver from his pocket and levelling It at
MeBorley exclaimed. "Hands up. Buck!" As
Ryan advanced, toward him back of the bar.
MeBorley. who thought the fellow was Jok
tng. seiied the revolver by the munle with
his left hand. Ryan pulled the trigger and
the bullet went through McSorley's hnnd.
MeBorley staggered back exclaiming: "I
am shot." and Ryan at once Jumped
towards the register, from which he se
cured a handful of silver, a $30 bill, two $5
bills and a $i gold piece, in all about $46,
but overlooked a second $3 gold piece. Be
fore MeBorley could recover himself Ryan
ran around the bar and cut of the front
door, and Is supposed to have made for the
railroad tracks close by.
McSorley's brother and his two compan
ions, who were In the back room, heard the
shot; -but refrained fri . entering the fcar
room until after Ryan had made his es
cape. The police were quickly on the scene,
but up to a late hour last night no trace of
Ryan had been aecured. MeBorley s wound
was dressed by Dr. Macrae, sr. The bullet
went clear through the hand. Inflicting a
painful but not what is thought to be a
serious wound. The hand waa also bad!v
burned by the powder.

Members of the local lodge of Elks gath
ered Friday afternoon at their club rooms
and proceeded at l'.JO o'clock to the Sharp
residence, 3 Douglas street, to honor the
memory of William A. Shai-p. one of h
pioneer residents of the city and a member
of the Order of Elks. Rev. T. J. Mackay.
chaplain of the Elks, conducted the full
burial service of the order at the home. In
stead of concluding the rltea at the grava.
Rector Mackay delivered an eulogy on the

pallbearers were: John Keith of Suther
land. James Ware of Ogalalla. Herman E.

Ned Pettit. lste vice president of the
George H. Ie company, was laid at rest
Friday afternoon in Mount Hope cemetery
in the presence of many friends. Mr. Tettlt
waa well liked by his business and social
associates, many of whom keenly felt the
sudden death of Mr. Pettit. The offices and
j factory of the Lee company were closed
Friday. Officers and employes sent several
beautiful floral remembrances to the Pettit
home. The six foremen of the factory,
mhere Mr. Pettit had charge, acted as pall-

Hoctor Flies for Mayor.
The first candidate for mayor of South
Omaha filed with the city clerk yesterday.
This was Thomas Hocior. democrat. Among
the others who registered yesterday for
various offices were Fred Wllluhn, a re
publican committeeman of the Fourth
Ward: B. Tombrink, as councilman of the
Sixth ward, and O. T. Mallen of the Fifth
ward.
Meet Behind Closed Doora.
' There waa s meeting of the Board of Fire
and Police commissioners last night, which
was held behind closed doors In the council
chamber. There was no business of such a
nature as to be made public. A. L. Ber
qulst stated that the meeting was elinply
an advisory one and no orders were Issued.
It is understood that the question of the
Sunday closing of the saloons was up for
discussion in a general way. The senti
ment seemed to be for waiting until after
the effect of the brewers' orders for Sunday
closing Is seen. There are about fifteen sa
loons In the city the owners of which pay
their own licenses. Some of these say that
the orders of the brewers are nothing to
them. These will be open. It is likely.
It Is possible that the commission will
hold a meeting In the early part of the
week, .but no definite timewas set In tho
adjournment last night.
Floe Gift for McPheraoa.
The friends of T. B. McPhereon among
tiie employes of the Vnwn Stock Yard's
National bank made him a splendid pres
ent last Thursday night. It was a cut
las punch bowl of the finest pattern that
could be purchased in Omaha. The base
wa a circular mirror, finished In silver. In
the center of which rose a large cut glass
pedestal of most intricate design. On the
top of this was the great revolving punch
bowl. There were eighteen glaases of the
same material, which fitted exactly around
the perimeter of the mirror. A solid silver,
gold-lined ladle finished the elegant gift.
With the gift the friends sent a letter ex
pressing; the warmest of feeling for their
former employer, and In the presentation
offered the following sentiment. "We give
to you. 'our friend and associate, with
charms untold.' this punch boat, ladle and
glasses. 'May you always be bowling, but
never be bold. " The names of fall who
had united in the gift were appended. Mr.
Mcpherson waa almost overcome when he
received the gift.

the Commercial club to act on this com
mittee. It Is more likely lie will be caHed
on to act in a sort of referee capacity.
One thing has come to light In cornec-
tion with this proposition and tin: is
the shops will be built distinctly srpuratd
from the Union Pacific as a corporation,
but by Mr. Harriman. Another verr im
portant )Kint brought out Is that a tract
of land comprising at least fifty acre a .11
be required.
"Will Omaha give this amount of land
for the new enterprise?" is the question.
The sentiment seems to be favor-able i
to it. Some careful selecting It I
geMid. would need . to be done to fud
th right place, though there is 'iale
doubt of Omaha's ability to furnish a-
rant tracts. Just when and how the mat.
Ur will be put up to Mr. Harriman is
not certain as jet. The committee Is
advised to co-operate with Senator Millard
In the matter.
Horse stealing Is the serious charge laid
against and admitted by Walter Anson,
aged about ZZ year, who was brought to
the city Jail by Officer Rinn from South
Omaha, where he had been captured last
night. Alteon confessed to harlng stolen a
j saddle horse tied rut the rear entrance to
Bennett's store, the property of J. B. Mc
Kittrlck, 133 South Twenty-seventh street.
McKittrick had brought the horse down
town intending to have the saddle fixed,
leaving the horse at l.'JU o'clock and return
ing at l:.K to And It gone. Anson said that
when he saw the horse tied at the curb he
conceived the Idea of running off with It,
and accordingly untied it and proceeded to
8outh Omaha. Going to the livery barn of
Holmes A Adkins, he offered to sell the an
imal for PH. Being unable to give a satis
factory story, he only aroused suspicion,
and soon found himself in the hands of tie
South Omaha police. It was not long be
fore the ownership of the horse was estab
lished. Anson aaid that he came here yesterday
morning from Murdock. Neb., where he
formerly lived. He said that his fatlir.
now dead, was at one time a police nfficer
