CRIMES ~ AND CRIMINALS. A Cuming Street Merchant Has a Hard Tussle with a Oonfidence 8hark. ROSS A fwo Burglars Sentenced—The Land sSyndicate Squabble—An Inter- view with.Bosler—Col,Chase's Bereavement, IS DAN FORGER? A New Trick. A novel specics of confiden reported at police headquarters yesterday, the victim Mr. C. C. Field who owns a candy store near Twenty-fourth and Cuming streets. That gentieman while inhis store Monday night, was ap, proached by a tall, neatly dressed stranger, who proceeded to take Mr. Field into his confidence at once, He gaid that he had just met a young lady friend whom he desired to treat, but found that he had left his pocket book at home. Would Mr. Field Kindly lend him one do king as sceurity his gold watch and chamm? That gentleman 18 notling if not obliging, and he promptly opened his cash box and produced the dollar. The _fellow instead of handing over his watch threw down an old brass ring, took the moncy and galloped throngh the door, Mr, Kield followed him and overtook him at the corner of Saunde and Cuming Btre A short and warm encounter followed, which resulted in the conli- dence man being knocked down by a ter- rific right-hander from Mr. Field. The fellow jumped up quickly, however, and was soon on s feet again. He started off'at a rapid gait, and made his escape in the darkness. He i not been seen gince, but as his description is pretty well known 1t is probable that he will not try the operation on upper Cuming street again. ROSS A FORGER. Dan J Ross, the ex-sprinter, is still be- hind the bars of the city jail, awaiting a hearing on the charge of dispos of mortgaged property. To a . ter yesterday he stated ‘that he did not know what he had been arrested for, though he did not pretend to be entirely innocent. He said that he expected to have th chul'Fn compromised. It developed yesterday that in addition to being charged with disposing ot the mortgaged property of Hill & Young, Ross has another and far more serious charge to answer. Some weeks ago he was in the employ of Duncan & Wallace, the piumbing firm, as their book- keeper. He forged an order for 26 on 3 Falconer, the drv goods man, signing the firm name of Duncan & Wallace to the ord This order he gave to Mrs. Ross, telling her to go down and get its value in goods. She did so, and while she was selecting the goods a boy nt over to Duncan & Wallace’s “to sce if the or- der was correet. Mo one happened to be in at the time except Ross, who of course assured the oy that the order was good. When rs. Duncan & Wallace re- ceived the bill they were astounded and at once charged Koss with forgery. T were compelled later to pay the bill it is probable that & prosccution for for- gery will grow out of the case. BOSLER'S PURCHASE. ame was being o T He Claims That the Sale of the Synai- cate Property Was Legal Monday evening Mr. A. H. Swan of the South Omaha Land syndicate left for the east. He was accompanied by Mr. Bosler of Carlisle, Pa,, the gentleman who, it is claimed, has purchased the property in South Omaha belonging to the synaicate, Mr. Bosler was met on the train by a BEE reporter, and grac- fously an-swered a number of ques- ons propounded to him. “I am going home,” he said, “to Car- lisle, Pa., but Ishall return before long.” ““Has the question of your purchasc of the land syndicate property been agreed to by the minority of the trustees?’ “‘It has not. But thav does not make any difference. I have bought the prop- erty in question, or at least Mr. Swan has sold it tome, and I ntend to stand on my contract.”” ‘Is that the contract which it is alleged Mr, Swan was authorized to make with the ‘Scotch syndicate?’ “No, sir. Mr. Swan was never anthor- ized to sell to the Scotch u;,'ndin'x\m any more than to you or me. nce I have been here, 1 have 1ooked up the resolu- tion which authorized him to make the sale, and there is not a word in it which specifies the cotch syndicate as the Knrly to whom the land must be sold. 1 ave taken legal advice on the subject and am informed the sale is a legal one and 1 proposc to stand by the agree- ment."” *“Who are your associates?” “Their names I do not now desive to mention.” “How much ready cash were you to pny!” ‘Che full amount, $750,000.” “Were you required to make improve- ments? ““Yes, but 1 do not care to speak about that now.” Mr. Bosler, it will be perceived, enters a flat contradiction to the story of the minority of the board of trustees. FEDERAL CASES. An Interesting Report Made up by Assistant United States Attor- ney Bartlett, E. M. Bartlett, Esq stant United district attorney for the district of Nebraska, has jus: completed and for- warded 1o Attoruey-General Garland his report of the erininal and civil cases in the United States distriet and corrent eurts during the year extending trom July 1, 18856 to July 1, 1836, The report is full of interesting fucts and figures which tell a tale highly creditable to Di trict Attorney Lambertson and his inde- fatigablo assistant Mr, Bartlett. According to the report 5 eiyil cascs to which the United States was a party, were terminated during the year, and of these & were judgements for the United States, The aggregate amount of judgements obtained during the year, in favor of the United States, was $5,605.85, and the amount realized from such judgements during the year, $1,254.85. The number of civil cuses pendir the United Btatos courts, July 1, 1856, was 9. Of the number of erim- inal persecutions terminated during the fiseal year ended Juue 80, 886, 47 were based on infringement of the inter- pal revenue laws, 11 of postoflice laws, 8 sion luws and 49 for miscella- tal of 110, Of ne in inter- al revenue eases, 8 in toffice case n pension eases and 25 miscellancous. here were but two aequittals during the ear, 'f‘lw aggregate amount of fines, forfoit- nres and penalties imposed during the ear was $16,007.85, and the amount real- d thereon was $1,05.01; the amount ized on fines, forfcitures J*l_cnu- imposed in_forrier 51.50. 0 total number of ¢ rosecu- ns pending July 1, 1886, was 51, ‘The report then goes ou to state the @isposal of suits to which the United ates was not a party (bankraptey ex- cepted). Of these cases, there were 434 commenced during the year, and 416 terminated during the same period. In 276 of these cases the result was a judg- ment for plaintiff, and in 36 a judgment for defendant. Of the same number, 104 were aismissed or discontinued he total amounts of judgments for plaintiffs was §i and the amount of judg- ments for defendants was $4,623.17. The number of these casespending Jnly 1, 1886, was 897 THE SYNDICATE FIGHT. Milton Rogers Sues to Enjoin the Sale of the Land. Yesterday morning Milton Rogers fileda petition in the district court, to enjoin A H [Swan, Wm. Paxton, Thomas Swobe, ik Murphy. C. W. Hamilton, Peter E. ller and James M. Woolworth, tr tees of the South Omaha Land syndi from selling the property owned by the same. The petition sets forth that the association was formed May 7th, 1883, for the purpose of buying and selling land, and that after they had purchased about 1,800 acres south of the city of Om- aha, they issued bonds to the amount of £1,400,000. Of these, Rogers took}# which gave him one twonty ighth estin the s wtion. The cost of the land upon wl these bonds were is- 1000. For the , tho synd received bills receivable to the amount of $175,000, and still retain 1,500 acres of. the land bought. The total assets of che syndicate are $1,500,000. It 1s tlaimed that on the 23d of .lulfi', by virtue of authority, alleged to have been obtained from the trustees, exccuted a contract of sale to J. H. Bosler. of Car- lisle, Pa., all of the property of thesyndi- cate, including the notes mentioned for the sum of $750,000. One third of this sum was to be in cash, and the remainder to be paid on the Istof January, 188 the 28th of July this alleged contr sale was ratified by _a majority of the trustees, namely, A. W. Shaw, W, A. Pax- ton, P. E. Iler andJ. M. Woolworth, the said Bosler being, it is claimed, associ- ated with the above members for the pur- pose of car out and consummating the fraud. The plaintiffs further claim that the price at which the land is sold is madequate to satisfy the rightful interest of the bondnolders, and that the scheme to sell is one of deceit and fraud, and if earried out will lead to the irreparable injury of the petitioner. For these reas- ons he petitions that any and alt of the trustees above mentioned be enjoined from in any manner attempting the sale of the property mentioned. Midsummer Wickedness.

Yesterday morning, the work ofjlayingia new sidewalk around the Paxton hotel was commenced with a great deal of en- ergy. The walk will be of stone-flags sixteen feet wide, and extending to the curb. The old plank walk is being torn up, and its supports are being removed to enable iron braces tc be stretched from the inner wall to the curb. The latter will be cut down six inches at the west gide of the house, and the rest will be graduated to the Fourteenth street corner, where the] present level of the curb will be maintained. The objection- able height of the walk above the curb which has heretofore existed will be thus removed. The stone used in the walk is brought from Cleveland, Ohio, Opposed by Her Children, A man by the name ot Henry Adams complained at police headquarters yester- daylafternoon that he had been locked up m a rvoom by the children of a Mrs. Wilkins, a widow whom he had engaged to marry, against their will.

Men Who Have Nothing Else to Do But Find Fault. IS FULL OF THEM. A Few Facts for the Thoughtfal and Farsecing Ones to Think Over ~The Real Estate Boom. THE WORLD It takesall kinds of people to make a world, and there is probably no one class more largely represented than are the cranks. There are cranks on every sub ject, and in large numbers too, The are generaily men who are perfectly sat- isfied with themselves and their judg- ment, but are dissatisfied with every one else. Omahy, it is sad to say, comes in tor her sha of these cranky mortal They stand upon the strect corners, con- gregate in every public house and place, and do nuthing but find fault with every- thing that is said or done. There probably is no one thing at pres- entthat the cranks find as much ]f:ml; i real estate boom which L is enjoying at this time. They shake their heads, knit their brows and say, in a tone which is intended to carry conviction with 1ts every vibration can’t last, there is bound to be a big break before long. For the past four or five years they have been saying the same thing, and notwithstancmg their predictions the price of real estate has steadily advanced, and it is now worth 150 per cent more than it was two years ago. They say it can’t last, but it does, and the real estate market W never in_as healthy a condition asat present. What n is there for thinking it will not continue so? Was there ever a time when the growth of Omaha was as rapid or substantial as now ? there ever a time in the history of this city when men in all branches of trade and manufacture were as prosperous and thrifty as at present? Are not Omaha’s stock yards and packing houses attracting the at- tention of the entire country and causing the investmunt of large sums of eastern _capital? Chicago, that invincible looks upon Omaha's packing houscs, stock yards and stock interests through the green colored goggles of jealousy Then, too, Jook atthe public improv: ments, which are being made this s son. Mile after mile of pavements and sewers are being putdown to say nothing of the two magnificent and costly via- ducts, which are in course of construc- tion. All these things speak louder than words and when the question. “Will it last?” is asked, it is not necessary to ‘read the answer in the stars’ but take a look around you, ride over the city and see = everywhere the substantial public improvements. the magnificent buildings which are being erected, and answer for yourself. There can be but one answer, and that is, that it will last and not only last but the prices state will advance still more in t year than it hasin the Rgst year, stands to reason and aRX sound reasoning persons will see it at a glance. 1n view of this fact it behooves you to se- cure some choice ! real estate with the knowledge that it will prove a paying investment, The finest ity property on the market to-day is “Mayne Pla and *‘Orchard Hill,” both for sale by C. E. Mayne. Lots in both these additions are going very rapidly and it will be to your interest to call early. If you want i bonanza in acre property takea look at “Newport,” which is also for sale by C. E. Mayne. 1t is by all odds the finest and cheapest acre property ever offered for sale in Omaha. Call at the office of C. E. Mayne, Real Estate and Trust com- any, southwest corner of Fifteenth and nam streets, where you will find con- veyances to take you out to any of the property which is for sal — ODDS AND ENDS. Stray Leaves Krom a Note-Book. “The Union Pacific has been very un- fortunate lately in the number of its ac- cidents,” said a passenger conductor, yesterday. “And I don’t know where the epidemic of catastrophes is to ce But it has been pretty fortunate in tha has had but few injured people in all its wrecks. How they escape, 1s more than Lcan tell. They get jummed n cabs and cabooses, thrown from the cartops and shaken up all through their system and yet the train men generally have come ont without injury. It's oné of the my: teries of the business. Another thing 1 can’t understand 1s wl\[y freight trains go to pieces so often and passenger truins hardly ever get mto trouble. And yet, the latter have to use the same track, roil over the same switches and run risks precisely the same as the heavier trains. t's all for the better, I expect, both for the passengers and the road.” ¢ Reporter's ““I have often heard of Kilkenny cats'” said a Douglas street merchant last night, “but 1 have uever found so good an 1llustration of them of late years as is shown by the attitude of the B, & M. and Union Pacific roadson the river bottoms. One road throws a track in one direc- tion; the other finds it _out and straight- way aims_‘to head it of” by constructing a cross line in advance of the other. They have been playing this game for months back, and the result is that the hottoms are crowded with tracks held down with loaded cars, which reminds one of a Chicago depot yavd. These tracks are run at all angles “and describe all sizes of circles, and some of them ¢ip into the slough and others try to climb up the opposite bank, The humorous feature of the thing is that each road claims to have secured its point and holds l|h:|t the other has been worsted in the deal.” “I believe the fact that there is a large encampment of gypsies near the city has something to do with the large number of burglaries and foot-pad eriminalities which are being committed all over the city,” snid a well known citizen to a re- porter to-day. ““The gypsies, from time immemorial, have been a restless, roving, thieving set of people, and they are pretty hard citizens generally. 1 think that if the marshal and his men would drive these people a respectable distance from this city that there would not be so many burglaries committed. At least it would be worth while to watch those fel- lows.” Preparations for the coming rifle con- test between the soldiers of this depart- ment are being actively pushed, and there is eyery indication that the contest will be a success, The rifle range at Bellevue will be completed August 15 or thereabouts. Target pits, firing stands and spectators stands have been erected. CUMING'S COMMISSIONERS. They are Being Sued by a Firm of Bridge HBuilders.

Ohage the Victim of a Violent Death. OYesterday morning Col €8 Chaseof this city received a telegram from La Keville, Minn,, informing him that his brother, George, of Chicago, had, yesterday, been seriously kicked by a horse. Half an hour later, & second telegram was re- ceived announcing the death of the in- jured man. Mr. George Chase was fifty years of age and had been engaged in the dairy business in Chieago. He was in this city on a visit to the colonel, three weeks ago and was then met by many of our eitizens. On leaving Omahi he went to visit his son, Harris, who 1s ed in the tle business at the mentioned, where his death has i place. Mr. Chase leaves three sons all grown to manhood. This is the second brother of Col. Chase who has been killed by a horse, The funeral will place to-morrow, the remains being ed at La Keville, Col.

One of the clerks of the Pacific express company yesterday received a hand bill issued in las, Texas a meeting of the citizens of that place to protest against the outrages recently com- mitted by the Mexicans. It is headed by the line: “‘The American flag insulted and American citizens imprisoned and shot down in.cold blood by Mexican au- thority.” Then follows a statement of the outrages, xm(lh- Kst of speakers and from the warmtlPwith which the.out- rages are detailed, one may readily un- ilurst;md that Texan blood is at fever heat. Opelt’s Hotel, Lincoln Neb., opened March 15th, first class in every’ respect. Spoiled Meat. A rather interesting . suit was on trial before Justice Anderson yesterday that of John M. Yerga vs. Porter Bros. Mr. Yerga claims that Porter Bros. sold him a carcass of beef which within two days thereafter became spoiled and unht for snle, whereas, as is allegad, if the animal had™ been properly slaughtered and cooled, it ought to have kept in good con- dition at least ten days. Yerga therefore sues for the value of the carcass, $54. Porter Bros. deny the allegation of the laintiff. Justice. Anderson has reserved his decision. Uncle 5am’s Money. “The mternal revenue collections for the last montb,” saia Deputy Collector Evans yesterday, “'are very heavy. They have been exceeded by those of but one other month—May, 1885.” Following is the tabulated statement: Lists... Beer stamps.... Spurit stamps. Clgar stamips Tobacco stamps Special stamps.

He had just b released on a writ of habeas corpus fre confinement 1n the Wahoo jail where he had been placed on narge of burglary. The Capital Hotel, Lincoln. Charley Kitchen, of the Capital hotel in Lincoln, is doing a rushing business. He has just completed what he calls his annex—a large addition to the hotel, necessitated by the increase of travel.
