Steve Murphy plays In hard luck.
Ho was found locked in a Northwestern
road freight car Thursday afternoon suf
fering from the effects of a two days' In
carceration. Five years ago Murphy was a painter
by trade In his home city of Grand Rap
ids, Mich., but an accidental fall from a
ladder while at work scared him out of
the occupation and he chose woodcutting
and common labor Instead of ladder climb
ing and rope swinging with brush and
paint bucket
Drifting out west, he was recently em
ployed on a bridge building gang at Sher
idan, .Wyo. But 111 luck got htm again, for
a scaffolding gave way, he fell fifteen feet
and a wheelbarrow filled with tools and
building material came down on his back,
Injuring him perhaps permanently.
That was ten days ago. He had to Quit
work and so started to "bum" his way
home by way of this city. Reaching Coun
cil Bluffs Tuesday, he went to sleep In a
boxcar In the afternoon, tired and ex
hausted from his hike and feeljng pains In
the small of his back from the accident
Before he was released from the car,
which was locked while he was within, he
went without food and water for forty
eight hours and was only semi-conscious
when taken out by Joe Bollte, an employe
at the Union Pacific freight house In
Omaha, where the car was taken and
opened for loading. Police Surgeon Newell
attended him at the city Jail and aays he
niay send Murphy to a hospital, as It Is
at leant a bad case of exhaustion. The man
is DO years of age.
LIGHT COMPANY IS INCREASED
Ela-htr Thousand Dollars Is Added
Because of Omission of Value
of Franchise by Com
mUsloner.
The Board of Review, which has been in
session since June 15, will finish the work
of adjusting the assessment of the city
tax commissioner today. It Is not pre
sumed that any more complaints will be
offered. The only protest of Importance
was that of the Omaha Wat.er company
which was overruled. The assessment of
the Omaha Electric Light company was
Increased $80,000 on account of the omission
of the value of the franchise In the tax
commissioner's books. It was found that
the return had not been made in the case
of the Bradford-Kennedy Lumber com
pany. The board ruled that the assessment
of last year should be taken as the proper
assessment for the present year. This
amounted to J3R.000. With the addition of
the above Items the as.-essment will be
1315,686 larger than last year. The total
assessment will be about $24,475,000 for city
purposes. This will require about a mill
levy to produce $230,000. the estimated ex
penses of the city under the new charter.
Bating at Owls Club.
The South Omaha Owls were out last
night in full force. They filled the Labor
Temple to the doors to watch a aeries of
boxing exhibitions between local celebri
ties and a six-round contest between Guy
Buckles of Omaha and Mike Malone of
Denver. It was the first entertainment by
the Owls and was certainly a howling suc
cess. For the first time In months the ex
citement got high enough so that remarks
were passed by the audience and the local
men were cheered for the good points they
made In the ring.
Strangely enough the excitement was
not centered on the main event of he
evening, but on the match between Fitz
gerald of the Shamrock club and Hansen
of Omaha. This go had been scheduled for
six rounds, but Fitzgerald fell In a wrest
ling bout at the club and Injured his arm.
He compromised with Hansen on three
rounds. The two men mixed It pretty well

In the first, but In the second Fitzgerald
struck Hansen a simple cross to the Ja-v,
and before he recovered he was counted
out by Jack Ford, the referee. He told his
friends afterward that he had got a shoe
lace on one of the gloves In his eye and
was so blinded he could see nothing.. The
crowd cheered for the South Omaha man
until they were hoarse.
In the go between Brosnlhan and Mc
Carty of the Shamrock club, Brosnlhan
knocked McCarty out of the box In the
first round by a hard one to the stomach
and, after McCarty had taken three count?,
following, while the other was groggy
with a straight punch to the face, ""he
excitement was great at this point of the
exhibition.
Mike Malone from Denver and Guy Buck
les fought a six-round contest with hon
ors practically even, although Malone
seemed a little weak In the last round.
In the first round, also, Buckles had the
best of it In the four rounds between
Malone rushed the fight at a pretty fast
clip, but at no time did either come near
a knockout.
Callahan and Smith fought four rounds
In the beginning as a preliminary, and two
boys, Gaughan and Sweeney, were put on
as an extra number.
