But ¢ ery, baby, and you shall have one of those nice French priuces who have recently been expulsed.” “Oh, papa, youdear she Lissed him lavishly and dri tears, s should come frony* lowed up gevery apparent clue, caus- ing the arrest of three or four on suspi- picion, but no tangible results were ob- tained. After the excitement had died down, Harry Siddalls, a young de- tective, well known here where he had done some good work, went to Philip Andreas, the ad- ministrator of Ruhle’s estate, and laid before him a clue which he thought would lead to the arrest of the murder His suspicion tastened upon a fellow named Henry Berie, who had come here from Kansas City and made Ruhle’s ac- quaintance. He had stopped at the City hotel (Wirth's) and at the Elkhorn Val- ley house. At both of these places Ruhle paid Berie’s bill or gunaranteed it. Berie was at the City hotel on the day before the murder, in Ruhle’s company and was seen drinking with him. Berie an- swered the deseription of the “man in blue” of whom so much has been said and so little is known. He disappeared sning of the tragedy and has not been scen. He W known > come from Kansas City and had been heard to remark that he was going back as soonas he could raise monecy Mr. Andreas took so kindly to clue and belief that he pro- vided him with funds to go to Kansas City and look for his man. This was enrly in June. Siddalls adopted the name L. C. Cowie and went on his quest. About . month ago he wrote Mr. An- dreas that he had found his man and had arrvested aman named John Berie who had been found in aSwiss boarding house in Wyandotte. He held his man for a week and was compelled to discharge him as he could not bring suflicient evi- dence to hold nm, Siddalls soon after wrote to Mr. Andreas that he had an- other elue which would lead him on foot into the country in the direction of St. Joseph, and that he expected to find his man working on a farm. This was three weeks ago and since that time nothing hus been heard from Siddalls. About two weeks ago Judge Stenberg read an ac- count in a Leavenworth paper of a man being found dead on_the railrond track near that place. From papers i b poeket he was supposed to h been a detective named Coates from Omaha. As there was no detective of that name in the city nothing was thought of the mat- ter until vesterday, when the judge learned that Siddalls had been 1o that country under annme that could easily be wmistuken for Coates. Mr. Aundreas feels certain that the man who was found dead was none other than Siddalls, and the fact that none of the missing detec- teotiye's friends know aught of his where- abouts strengthens his belief that Siddall Jhasmet.an untimely death. Nothing 1s ‘known - of :the -manner of his death, whether he was killed by the cars or met “his fate similar to that of the unfortunate Ruhle. An investigation will be made at onee, either to satisfy Mr. Andreas of Siddall’s death or to locate his where- abouts if he is still living. The revival of the Ruhle ease brings some new facts to light that have not as yet been made public. The remittances that were made to Ruhle from the old country formed his share of his deceased father’s estate and amounted to some- miu% over two thousand dollars, The largest part of this amonnt, over one thousand dollars, was received by Ruhle early last sprinF. The last remit- nmittance, about one hundred and fifty dollars, was sent from Wurtemberg, Germany in April, but has never beeu re- ceived here, haying probably been sent back from New York. Thisis the remit- tance which was szid by Mrs. Wirth to be ming to her, but which for some rea- on failed to rénch its supposed destina- tion. An interesti act has also been made known in regard to an attempt made by Fritz Wirth to obtain posession of Ruhle’s eash. Immediately after the murder of Rahle, Wirth made applica- tion to the authorities in Germany to be given the power of attorney to take charge of Ruhle's afiairs. The papers were made out and sent to the German consul at Washington with instroctions to examine into the case and, if Wirth was found to be a proper party. to give the anthority to him. Whether an investigatson ‘was made or not is not known, but it is cerfain that the desired power of attorney has not been given to Wirth, While but little s being said of the mpetent partics a - ng upon clues which, it i promised, will result in an arrest in a short time of the man who committed the aastardly murder. CHAPMAN A BLACKM So Says Ex-Governor William Kellogg. “Giood evening young man, what ean I do for you?" was the greeting given to a reporter for the Ber lust night by an elderly gentleman sitting in room 15 of the Paxton hotel. The speaker was ex- Goverror William Pitt Kellogg, of Louis- ana, and his dark eyes, under the bushy gray oye-brows, beamed a kindly wel- LER. iy come as he motioned the new per mun ton seat. “You want to interview me, Isuppose.

Butit was overthe last four that the trouble arose. Befo; fer was made I was compelled t Ve Omahn and go to the war. I left Chap. man to draw up the deed, which he did in lis own hand writing.

Now when Farnam strect came to be surveyed clear through, this left a strip of Jand six feet wide on the north side of the lot, which rightfully belonged to me, (though it was not included by the description of the deed), and on whicn 1 paid taxes for twenty-three years, This hlwl‘uplflcy was not discovered until last year when [ was about to sell this - d saying pmp.-rl% to Ezra Millard and ( Bar.

Now he claims that when chief justice of Nebraska 1 set aside the mie of this land with the understanding that I was afterwards to be ullowed to buy the land at alow figure. The order setfing aside the sale was made in November, 1862, while I did not_purchase the land’ until November, 1863, one year later. Now, how ridiculous that is!” Do you suppose I would be bribed 1n that fashion, and let Chapman hold the land one whole year before turning it over to me? Does it look reasonable, anyway, that 1 would be bribed by such an unprineipled scoun- drel as that man Chapman, anywavy | may have set aside the sale.

Inthe Pullman sleeper Samoa,attached to the westbound train last night, were two distingnishad French royalists, the Baron Selliere and the Count de Bellasy. They occupied an elegantly farnished state room, were accompanied by ser- vants, and traveled in truly royal style. Both gentlemen have ovly been in the United States a short time and they in- tend to make a very extensive tour ot the country, going across the continent to San Franeisco fiest. They are both inti- mate friends of the Due d* Aumale, lat expelled from France, and while every action and casually dropped word showed on which side their feelings were, they Jroferred to say nothing on French pol- ilies *“The American papers get the news back to Europe so very quick, " remarked the baron, smilingly, and in’ very mood English. *“Then, too, they are apt to make much out of little.’’ Do you think there wi ist troubles?” was asked. Then came in the indescribable French shrug of the shoulders, and— Time will tell, Monsieur, time will tell.”” ““The hasty action of the Republique in expelling e duc has called more - at tention to the old families and royalists than they could have done themsclves 1 be any royal- “chimed in the count.” “Well never mind, never mind mon ami, said the baron,” come let us smoke our cigare Bon' jour Monsieur, Bon 0 2 Evidently Baron Silliere, although the younger of the two tourists, was ap- rentl, far less communicative on ench affairs than his companion, He is a splendid specimen of manhood, standing about six feet five inches, and hossesses the physigque of a gladiator. Th French soldier appears in move- ment. He served many years with the Duce d’Aumale and was with him when Abd el Kadar was defeated and in nearly all_his campnigns. The Count de Bellasy is below the medium height and must be over fifty years of age. His gray whiskers are cut in military style and his quick, nervous action was the only French feature about him. Should the turn this way they intend to stop oyer in Omaha a day or 50.
