Another night of perfect quiet in South Omaha Indicate the return of normal con ditions. It Is believed that the' anger of the populace against the Greeks has been satisfied. During the entire day Wednes day Greeks In small parties came to South Omaha and after securing an officer at the city jail .visited their old quarters. No one stayed there. A aoon a they could load up their property In van and moving wagon they returned to Omaha. Fifteen or twenty load of furniture, bedding and beds were hauled away. The property own er have not attempted to repair the ruined building. The Greeks can not sleep In them. The people whose house are entire dare not rent room or buildings to the Greeks, so it I Imperative that the Greeks return to Omaha. It la now believed Im probable, even .with the repair of the former lodgings, that the Greek will return to them after having once settled In Omaha, In the first hurly-burly of excitement, when estimate of the property ldss were baaed on the statement of the owner of the damaged buildings and furniture. It wa thought from $20,000 ,to 126,000 would be the amount. It la likely that thl 1 consider ably too high. At' least Mayor Koutaky, J. J. Breen. George, W. Roberts and G. H. uoescne, acting on the suggestion that a careful estimate would not be amiss, vis ited all the. place. damaged and have Item lzed the losses to the buildings and fur nlture. They prepared list of every win dow broken and every piece of damaged furniture a far aa known. The aggregate of the losses estimated In this manner is only 11,622.60. Thl estimate doe not In elude losses to the business house by way of Income or the lost to the manager of lodging houses. It does not Include loss of wage to laborer. Thl loss can not be es timated until the names of all claimants are In. Severs! claim for damages were filed. All of the four men mentioned, who in spected the buildings with a view to dis covering the exact damage, agreed on the total loss In each case before leaving the spot. Thl action was taken with a view et meeting posslbfe, extravagant claims by owner of the damaged property. The ownera of the property will not agree to tha appraisement by the city officials, but many of th private claim alone exceed the total loaa estimated by the city, Th claim for personal injury will be much nig-her, being based on estimate of a different character. It is likely that the city will compel th aggrieved parties to bring suit rather than come to a settlement, sine It I declared that tha atate ha no law covering damage to property during a riot. stateaaeat front Cklet Briars;. Chief John Brlgg haa felt himself ag grieved through the receipt of an anony mous letter, which wa mailed to him from Omaha yesterday. The letter reads: Chief Brlggs: You and your department stirred up tlila riot. You must feel good over It. This brutal treatment of people who had nothing to do with the murder will put a feather in your cap, like . You know all theae rioters and could have stopped It had you raced to do so. You and your department will make South Omaha famous for breadth of mind and justice. The letter wa written In typewriter and no marks of Identification could be found. Even the water mark in the paper was torn through. The chief said that alnce the letter had been published without com ment or reply he thought he should say that he believed hla actions in the late riot would fully vindicate htm In every particular. He said that the party need not fear his making every effort to pre serve th peace and to punish the rioters. He said he had made lists of names and turned them over to th county attorney, In addition to those parties who were placed under arrest during th riot. In caaea of arrest ample evidence will be produced on the request of the county at torney. Chief Biiggs wa present at the mas meeting last Sunday and a soon aa he saw Indication of violence be left the crowd to summon hi patrolmen where possible and -warn them to ba ready to preserve order If possible. During the riot he was found in the midst of tha crowd protecting ,the Injured and tiylng to persuade th men to go home peaceably. That he did not shoot he said wa due to the fact that at his approach th crowds drew back i ud froubl started at another Iint. "Had any Greek been killed I would have recoiled even to arm to disperse the mob, but until the violence reached the point of murder It was roost dangerous to begin promiscuous shooting."
