THE DEAD MAN IDENTIFIED Tho Victim of the Bullet at Lincoln Proves to Be Julius Eichorn, HIS DEATH STILL A MYSTERY Ewarth Held For Murder in the Spc- ond Degree-State Fair Plans Discussed and New Features Adopted—Lincoln News. [FROM THE BER'S LINCOLN BURRBAD.) The mystery of the dead man at the morgue hias been s Yesterday a lady living in the city, Mrs. Seifert, vis- ited the rooms of Undertaker Roberts and at once identitied the man as Julius Eie horn, from St. Louis, a young man whom she had known from childhood. As the lady viewed the remains and explained her knowledge of the dead man tears welled from her eyes, and to every spectator present it was manifest that the lost identity of the dead had been found, The man once identified particulars con- cerning him were sily obtained. It was at once ascertained that he had reached the city on Wednesday last, that hie had stovped at the St. € rles hotel, paid bis bill 1 advance uatil Sunday morning, and a ise contaimng clothoes of the dead man found n the room he had occupied. The clothing in the vatise and the clothing on the body w murked Also in the valle w found the revolyer case belonging to the revolver found by the man's side. A brother-in-law of the lady also dentified the dead man s Julius Fichorn, On Thursday and k st he had o ited with both the partics who now ident- ifiod bim, but since that time had not been seen. The mystery, however, cerning his manner of death rer great ns e Was it suicide or Ains yet unanswered which has not igations, is unable to se- testimony that tends to throw any conclusive light on the sub juet.

The strange fea- ing of the body alone by the wayside without money on the person or papers of any Kind, and the further fact that the pistol shot in the head did ave n burn or scorch on the face , all tends against the theory of suicide and but leads deeper in the strangeness of the stranger's death. HELD FOR MURDET. Willinm Ewarth, held for the murder of his half brother, Herman Mahs, the par- lars of which were Iargel i day's BEE his prelimin: hearing befo ustice Cochran yeste omplaint of murder in the se degree, and was by oflicial bound under $2,000 bonds to answer for the mission of the crime at tne coming of the distriet court. The bond r y given and Ewarth returned to h home in the country. The testimony in the case, as cited by the iitnesses pres. ent, was not of a dumaging character to the prisoner, and it is the belief that the prisoner on trial will be acquitted. The testimony showed that the stabbing re sulted from a quarrel; that it was un- known at the time 1t was done, by the witnesses of the fra and that the nggressive party was, almost entirely, the man who et his death, The_ father of the dead man was one of the witnesses to the trouble and one of the men to gi cevidence at the hearing, ail of which v of a mild and harmless nature. fl’l":\‘l"i FAIR.OFFICIALS, The of directors of the State Ag- ricultural society closed an interesting business session” yesterday n\nrniyfi: at he were present at the meeting E.

DOUGLAS UP AND DUSTIN | A Budding Wyoming Town with a Power- ful Pair of Lungs. BASKING ON THE NORTH PLATTE, With the Snow-Capped Laramie Peak lercing the Clouds in the Background—Progress of the Railroad. Dovcras, Wyomi 0, [Correspondence of the Be.] bank to bank the North Platte river is ibout 600 fect wide at this point, and in | the spring, or when the river high, there is probably an average depth of cight or ten feet of wal At this season, howaever, it is very low, and teams ford it readily. Opposite the new town site of Douglas the course of the river is noarly due south, and the town is platted di- rectly on its east bank. As stated in my last Jetter, “the future great,”as the jealous press of the other and vlder towns facetiously called Douglas, is situated near the center of a plain or valley aver- ging from one to two miles wide. Tho view here 18 simply splendid. On the west is the Laramie range of mountains, m tull view, and some forty or forty-five miles south, but frequently appearing to be scy y a ritle shot away, rises the famous Laramie Peak, a tall, steep, pointed mountain, towering toward the clouds and overlooking all the other peaks of its range, and from whose sum- mit snow can be seen a large portion of the year, Seyeral years ago, some seven miles northwest of here, on a high tract of ground at the confluence of the North Platte and La Prele creck, on the north- vank of the former, was located the fam ous military post of Fort Fetterman. It never had any fortifications like a fort proper, but consisted simply of a few barracks and warehouses for commissary supplies. Seve! com- panies of soldiers were tioned there to hold in check the Indians that then infested this country and committed the worst atrocities and bavbarities im- aginable on the frontiersmen and emi- rrants, but the red men were finally forced on to reservations, and about four years ago the troops were withdrawn and Fort Fetterman was abandoned 0 military post, The government build- ings were sold at auction and purchused for a tritle by discharged soldiers and others, and a little village or trading point lins sinee been kept up, quite a pat: ronnge being derived by the merchants and business men from the stock ranches in this portion of the territory. Taking its name from said post, this section of country, tern half of eentral Wyoming, has been known as *‘the Fettermin country,” and when it beeame certain that this par- adise of the stockmen and the cowboys was nctually to be invaded by the gres est civilizer the world ever kuew, the ive, people from all the st tories tnrned th attention th As Fort Fetterman is located in the center of a milit reservation or tract of land some six by ten miies in a, it was of course impossible to locate the proposed new town at or near said military post, 50 the railrond company or ratlier the townsite company. 600 acres of land at this point just east nd outside of thereservation, and about month ago the town of Douglus was platted The reader will nodonbt inguire, “Why was it not called Fetterman mstead of Douglas?” The reason is: Everybody in this section desirved that it be called ¥ terman, and no opportunity was neglect- ed to have their wishes made known to the town site company. The latter read- iy acceded to the popular demand, but the postoflice department refused on ac- count of having postoflices named kt. Fotterman and Fetterman, s a similarity of names always causes much trouble and annoyance in handling the mails. Finally the name of Douglas was given, in honor, I understand, of the lamented Stephen A Douglas. The change was very unsatisfactory at first, and it set people outside to studying geography (through the newspapers), but we are all L':ollhlf accustomed to it and the term “The Douglas country,” will soon become as familiar and popular as the old titte, As carly as March people began com- ing here and looking over the situati The fivst location, of course, a little wooden shanty being erec the purpose. The sccond was n runtin atent, the tnird a groce tent, and the fourth was a tent ning feet square, pitched by your. correspond and four companions. This constituted the town about the first of April. The little settlement was established on one corner of the company’s land, where it was known the town plat or survey would not reach, and from that time on people began to comein. On the 12th of June a canvass showed that we had about two hundred people here, tents and houses were being »d so rapidly that it became necessary to form streets between them, Everything moved along nicely until one day the railroad surveyors came along and set grade stakes directly throu, h our little town, and a few days la‘er the graders came along and commenced work and about half the tents and build- ings had to be moved. Previous to this, in fact last year, Mr. Frank S. Lusk, of the town by that name, lifty-five miles cast of here, had purch: a tract of land adjoining the company's townsite land on the north. This was his oppor- tunity for a speculation, so he platted a portion of it in blocks and lots and streets and is reaping a rich financial harvest by renting lots for five and ten dollars n month each, according to loca- tion. Of course this sed a storm of'| indignation mdnlnrfiu crop of profan- ity, but there was no help for it, and the g]reator portion of the town is now on the Lusk land. The townsite company has some thirty odd blocks about th q! ters of & mile south, which £ will dise: fully in my next letter, when 1 will ulso give the exact number of business houses already established and the number of inhabitants. Two banks, one a national, have al- ready been established, and nearly every branch of business is represented. Tho Bek is becoming very popular here, and us you are aware, has already attained a large daily circilation here. Although it has to go wp the Union cilic and around by Rock Creek and Fort Fetter- man, and is these days old when it reaches Douglas, a newsdealer informs me that he thinks the three news agent cies must sell nearly a hundred copies daily, and the public knowledge that the BEE has & representation here who will pay special uttention to the interests of that paper, and that a *Central W yom- ing Burcau" is to be cstablished and become a prominent feature of that enterprising daily, causes him to in- crease his order for copies nearly every wail, and he also thinks the 500 copies of the daily Beg will not supply the Douglas gel‘mu in as wany mouths from this ate. Our people feel feel like having a day of thauksgiving, for the fact that Douglus is now & regularly established ostoflice. A mail ‘route” from Fort de;llarmq has also n‘ ted an aily service was put in for the first tine the ‘)Ln.. Thursday. The sight of a mail military including platted carrier and looked mail pouches was one of the pleasantest the people of Douglas have witnessed. Of course everything in the mail line now has to come around via Rock Creek and Tort Fetterman, 9 miles of _ther distance, by _stage, requiring abont three days from Omaha, but thank God and the Elkhorn V. Wyoming Central Co., in tw the iron hc will be here, be out the wools, or rather out of wilderness, Only think of it! Last March your correspondent was nine days coming from Chadron to this point with a freight team. In a fow days we can make the distance in six hours; can go n Donglas to Omaha in a day, or to Chicago in less than two day: But what we will then particularly want and need is a dircet Ime from Fre mont, Neb., or some other point, to Omaha, built and controlled by the Elk horn Valley line. And itis as much to Omaha's interest as to the people of cen- tral Wyoning, for, with operated judiciously, with f: moderate tanffs, € L will be country what C Towa, the_ great wholosale point for Nebraska, Wyoming and the Black Hills count 1 shall have more, and consid- nd we E to this cago is to Illinois and erable more, to say on this subject in tho future but if the press and’ people of wve to the interests and welfare of their rapidly growing city, they will at once hegin to agitato this question of direct railvoad communi- cation and rapid transit, for this country is gre enough, und has suflicient re- sources, to make Omaha the Chicago of the northwest, ik s always ased to note the progress and _success tive Nebraskans, wherever they may And in speaking of thisnew post- office, I will say that our new postmaster is an old Nebraska boy, Mr. Jamos F.

H. K. - PAUL MORPHY'S TROPHIES. His Gifts from Friends Sold at Auc- tion in New Orleans, A New Orleans dispateh, July 24, says: To-duy the estatg of the late Paul Mor- phy, the celebrated chess player, was sold out at public auction, to close up the succession. It embraced pieces of real estate and somd personal property, nota- number of trophies and festimo- to his great prowess in chess, Among them were @ crown of siver de- ned the folinge of the Inurel, typical stray of ictory, presented to Morphy in 180 by the” Union .

" On the salver is an engraving representling Morphy in the act.of winning the decisive game nf the tourney from Paulsen, Each Place bears the monogram “P. M." The centre of attraction was the rich and elnborote chess board of alternate squares of pearl and u\mnf and clegantly wrought men of solid gold and silver, The designs of these picees are intended to express the opposing forces of civil- ization, The gold men represent ciyil- ization and the silver men barbarism,and the hand of the artist wrought each piece to represent some phase:and character- istic of the age portrayed. This chess board and the chessmen” were presented to Morphy at New York after his return from bis triumphal tour through Europe. The work was done by Tiffany, the chess. men costing $1,600 and the board §200. The presentation was made by the Hon- orable John Van Baren. On the same oceasion Morphy was also presented with a fine gold watch with colored chess figures 1n rluuu of the Roman numbers to m: the hours. When Morphy felt the lliuch of poverty he sent the watch to ’ars to be pawned. It has never been redeemed. ‘The sale, which was had at the Arcade ex hange, attracted much attention.
