Another Chestnut Ball Game. The game of ball at the park yesterday afternoon, although a one-sided affair, was very Interesting.

In the meantime Tom Bowen is at his home in Del Norte, Col., 285 miles away from Denver, and Senator Teller is living up in the mountains at the mining town of Central City. Teller has a law office-in Deaver, and also & big ranch near Pueblo, Bowen's interests are in mines, and he once told me that & man never got wealthy selling postage stamps, and that if he wanted to make a fortune he must strike for big game. It was in this way that Bowen has made what he has, and he 1s said to be wealthy. He rode here from Arkansas a poor man and for seven years worked a group of claims in com- pai {‘wlth others in a corporation known as the San Juan Mining company. It is said the company was badly managed, and its stock got down very low. Bowen saw that there was money 1n_its mines, and in 1881 its shares were played for at poker in Del Norte at the rate of two drinks a share, Bowen quietly bought them up, getting, 1t is said, $300,000 worth of stock for $75. He soon g!?l control of the stock. He pushed the work, soon struck a rich lead, and thus made a fortune. He paid his debts, and Tam told he 1s interested in the stamp mill which has since been erected near his wine, e .

WiLson, 1512 Douglas street, WING GET HAS TAKEN FLIGHT The Ourious snd Amusing Funeral of an Omaha Chinaman, AN UNKNOWN'S VIOLENT FATE. A Supposed Tramp's Horrible Death On the Rallway Track—A New Inquest Over Georglana Clatk—Other Local. A Chinese Faneral, Omaha has never seen a funeral like the one that occured yesterday just when the storm king and the sinking sun were disputing ih the heavens for a mas- tery., It was a quiet procession in which Wing Get, a Chinaman, occupied the first carriage. Wing had taken wings to the ethereal atmosphere, and as Doctor Ralph had given a mortuary certificato, it 1s probable he got there. Wing wus a laundry man and worked for Wah Lee at No. 1012 Harney street. On Monday Inst he became sick and was removed to the Child's hospital. There he remained until death gave him ticket of leave. He was fifty-three rs of nge and left a widow and two children, now residing in Rock Springs, Wyo. Thither his remains were sent last night in a metallic casket costing $150. In the days to come Wiufi:s osscous remains will probably sail the seas over for a final resting place in China. The funeral of Wing Get was a solemn one. Burket, the undertaker, lead the procession, four carriages containing orientals followed. At the depot the fol- lnwinphp:nll bearers lifted the remains from the hearse: Wah Lee, Song Gay, \\'linPg Lee, Ah Lee, San Gong and h Fe. Riding on the nearse was Ge Knung Tong, the nigh priest of the Masonic order of Chinumen in the west. This high official distributed small pieces of perforated paper along the route for the purpose of “‘keeping the devil away,” for while “he’’ would be Fick‘mx them up, the remains of Wong set would be gaining ground in the chase. There was no ceremony at the depot. Wong Get expired Tuesday evuninfi. Mrs. Moore, matron of the hospital, says that he was conscious up to near the time of dissolution. She called Rev. John Williams. to his bedside. Inthe meantime the ‘‘China boys” brought in their ‘“‘priest,” who opened by shaking his fist in the face of the dying man three times. This was beeause Wong Get had been a rene- gade to his religion in having his queue cut off. Then the remains were removed to H. L. Burkett's undertaking establish- ment on Sixteenth street, and there the Chinese wake commenced. First the de- consed was wrapped in ared blanket. Then fifty-thtee little rockets were fired off in signifticance of the years of WOII}‘]"S life. Afterwards one of the most ludi- crous all-round dances over seen in these arts was indulged in by the “China oys.” The red blanket was then taken off and the mourners adjourned, Early yesterday morning the friends of the "deceased were on hand in force. They plfmked down #$150 for the casket but insisted on a contribu- tion of 25 cents to pay Wiufi‘n forringe ‘‘across the Styx.”” A roast chicken was then produced and disentrailed. Fifty- three portions of the fowl were taken out and burned. Then the all around busi- ness commenced again, Some black and white cloth was torn into strips. The high priest put a fragment on his hat and the others followed suit, while the body was being removed to the hearse. Fifty- three candles were kept burning as the procession moved out, and it required the efforts of a stalwart policeman to keep the curious away from the car- ages, Wing Get was very popular among Chinamen_here. He came here from Norfolk, Nebraska, a short time ago where he conducted a laundry. His de- cease is resroned among his nationality here but its effcct on the ecity is not noticeable. One incident should be mentioned, however, and that is in re- gard to the Chinese foresight. A bottle of whisky safely wravped up 1n an old cloth was placed in Wing Get's cofhn, 8o that in case there would be a switch-oft to Iowa even the dead man might have a chance. GROUND TO ATOMS, An Inbound U, Train Killy an Un- known n Last Night, The regular freight train on the Union Pagilic, driven by Engineer Martia Cush- ing in engine No. 53, and due here at 10 o'clock last night, ran down and killed an unknown man just west of the city. ‘The first intimation of the accident was obtained in the discovery by the crew in the caboose of blood on the wheels. The train was halted and slowly run back over a trail of blood and shreds of cloth- ing until it terminated in the body of a wan who had been literally cut to pieces and was wholly unrecognizable, The traivmen hastily gathered the greater portion of the remains into a basket, and on reaching the eity the frag- ments were turned over to the coroner. There is no clew whatever to the idea- tity of the unfortunate man but one of the theories is that he was & ramp steal- ing a ride. There were rinety-six cars on the train, and 1t suposed that nearly all of these passed over him. ANOTHER INQUEST. Coroner Drexel to Reconvene Georgiana Olark Jary. Coroner Drexel, aroused by the results of the misguidance he suffered through the police, has determined to learn the fate of Georgiana Clark, the colored woman who died in jail Tuesday morn- ing, if it requires n week of eflort. He keenly feels the reproach which, through no fault of his, ataches to the conduct of the case, and will spare no means of learning the truth. To that end he will reconvene the jury this morning, providing substitutes, however, for the “tly cop’ and another ‘“‘connection” of the police who figured ou the original panel, and will view the body just before the funeral which oec- curs at 10 o’clock, The mquest proper will begin at 2 o'clogk in the afternoon and if necessary will be continued from day to day until the last possible source of information is exhausted. All kinds of rumors are rife about the matter, the very latest one being that the woman was subject to frequent beatings and thumpings at the hands of her man and keeper, John W. Fielding. Itissaid that last Saturday he gave her an un- merciful drubbing, which may after all account for her wounds and bruises. An autopsy was held yesterday, but the physicians withhold the annannce- ment of their judgment until called upon to testity. e WYOMING'S CRIMINALS, The Territory Seeking a Prison For Its Malfactors. Among the arrivals at the Millard yes- terday were Colonel Luke Murrin, the big, full-faced, good-natured penitentiary commissioner of Wyoming, Judge Ma- ginnis of the same, and R. C. Morns, the official stenographer of - the territory. These gentlemen had come in from Sun Dance, where the judge had held court snd sentenced a couple of tough cus- tomers to the pe%umllr{ long enough to enable them to thrn their halr white angl improve thejr nyorals. The ju is A young mun and bears his judicial honors with becoming ease and modesty, Colonel Murrin says that the territory of Wyoming is now compelled to keep its convicts at home. Until a short time ago it used to send them to Joliet, I, where they were supported without ex- ense. ast spri the state estopped he penitentiar) rom receiving any more convicts fordaboring purposes, and a8 & consequence Wyoming was com- pelled to "look @igewhere to shelter her outlaws, r. " “Murrin went to Lincoln where he was also de- clined admissiof “for his criminals. This compell him to keep his convicts at home, and as a consequence the outlaws have been apportioned among the several county jails in the ter- ritory. The territory is now represented in Lincoln by five convicts, mostly stage robbers, seventy-one in Joliet, some of whom are murderers, while in the county jails mentioned, there have been since the new order of things twenty-two toughs confined. Colonel Murrin and g_nrty will leave for home to-morrow, hey have traveled about eleven hundred miles to attend the court they have just roturned from, notwithstauding they are feeling in excellent condition, Faneral of Edmund Lane. The funeral of Edmund Lane, of the Omaha Neb., calvary commandry of Knights Templar, took place yesterday afternoon. The cortege arrived at Ma- sonic temple shortiy after 4 o’clock, where the impressivo services of the Ma. sonic order were held, conducted by Canon Paterson, Among the floral tributes which were many and beautiful, particularly noticeable were the “Gutes Ajar,”’ surmounted by a dove with ex-+ tended wings, the gift of the engincer de- partment of the Union Pacific in which the deceased served for the past seven- teen years, and Howery star, presented by the Eastern Star lodge of which he wasamember. After private ceremonies symbolizing the mysteries of deuth ac- cording to the Masonicritual, in an ante- room, public services were held in the large hall. The remains were then borne to Pros- pect Hill cemetery where the intecrment took place, The various orders of whicn the deceased was a member, the Knights Templar mounted in full dress uniform, formed a procession at the temple and headed by the Union Pacilic brass band escorted the funcral to the cemetery. The guards of honor were Sirs William France, H. L. Seward, J. B. Bruner and Allen B, Smith. The pall bearers com- prised a deputation of Master Masons, . Railroad Notes. The Baltimore & Ohio railrond has opcned an office in Hellman's building, on the corner of Furnam and Thirteenth streets, and placed 1t in charge of C. T. Wright and J. K. Miper. The managers hope to receive a gaodly share of busi- ness for their road, ¥specially for distant points, i The following officers and directors of the Omaha & Yanktdn roud have been been elected to serye until next January: Harvey N. Shepard, fof Boston; T. Fales Gray, of Boston; Glibert H. Shepard, of Jacksonville, Flal; oS, D. Mercer, of Omaha; John A. ighton, of Omaha; Nathan Shelton, of :um!m'. and James F. Dillon, of maha, directors. President, Harvey N..Shepard; vice pres- ident, S, Mercer; treasurer, T. Fales Gray; secretary, Jues k. Dillon. The intention of this rouls Lo build into Da- kota, first reaching Yankton, after which it will likely braneh’ out into different directions to the extremities of the ter- ritory. With regard to the definite aim of the road little is at present known, al- though some of the directors look for an extensive system in less than two years, There seems to be a great deal of doubt among the patrons of Lake Man- Awa as to whether the motor hine which now connects that resort with Council Blufts is adequate for the work required of it. Because, of this doubt it hus been thought aavisable to supply a more reli- able and expeditious method of reaching the lake und the plan now under dis- cussion i8 a brond guage track leading from the Union Pacilic transfer through the Union Pacilic territory at that point and thence along two of the streets in the southwestern part of the city to ths resort, Mr, Day, of the Blufis, who is contemplating building the road,came to Omaha yesterday for the purpose of ask- g about the right of way through the Union Pacific grounds munlioun:], and at the same time outlined his intention to the Union Pacific ofticials. The descrip- tion of the property of the latter will be looked up with respect to this matter, when another meeting will be held. 1f snch a line ¢ established, it would en- able the switching of whole loads ot ex- cursionists from this side, who would thus be able to save a great deal of time. Besides the broad guage would make better time under all circumstances. The rumor circulated some time ago that W. H. Barns, general agene at the Blufls, hac been asked to 1. sign, seoms to have been without fotindation,because yesterday his jurisdizeon was extended to include all emuioyes attho Broadway and transfer stations, a3 also to all em- ployes iz, the transportation department in the bluffs. The following circular issued from Union Pacific headquarters seems to of- ficially solve the question ot Mr. Kim- ball's disposition . in the impending changes: “Mr. Thomas L. Kimba! appointed assistant to the first vice pre dent with headquarters at Omaka. The oftice of general traflic manager is hereby abolished, This ciccular will take effect on September 1, 1887.” . D. Bessler, general supermtendent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy; W. C. Brown, superintendent of the Towa division of the same road; George Smith, chief engineer, and his assistant, Frank Lrwler, came in on_the ‘¢ vesterda, as far as Pacific Junction. They will visit the Bluffs and Omaha before return- z. ing. An Alleged Redl fatate Frand. Mrs. Helam M. S»x(l_{mon brings suit against one H, E. Aitkin, a real estate agent, who, she claims,’ has been guilty of traud in selling hérla 1ot. The prop- erty was represented<to be in Burr's ad- dition, on the main, street in Council Blufts, and on thg ' provosed motor line to Lake Manewa. Mrs, Swan- soc is a_poor woman, but scraped to- mer $150 to pay fdt ‘the lot. She al- eges that it has simoe: transpired that there is no such addition as “‘Burr's'’ in Council Bluffs, recordéd or even platted, and the lot she has m,figed for is obscurely located in some out the way nook, Inlwny from the main.street and motor ne. Indian Marderer tb'Be Tried Here, Deputy United St: Marshal Allen left last night for the Sacs and Fox res- ervation 1z Richardson county to bring here for trial the halfbreed murderer, William Barada. The murdered man was also a halfbreed lodian named John Dieder, The crime was committed last Sunday, while the two were on a drunken spree in company with other halfbreeds. Some trivial misunderstanding came up between the two, which was ended by Barada burying & hatchet in Dieder's brains, killing him instantly, Brevities. The internal revenue collections yester- day amounted to $3,615.23. The United States court, which was adjourned on the 4th insi, convenes to-day. The grand lodage of the colored masons f thie state meets in this eity on' next 'uesday, when every lodge in the state will be represented. The funeral of William M.

The special service at Park Vale, from Omaha, has also ceased., James H. McShane, secretary of the Omaha Fair association, has been ten- dered nn office in the board of trade building before and during the fair, and it is quite likely that he will accept the offer in a few days. George Witting was arrested by Of- ficer Green yesterday afternoon on the charge of being a party to the robbery of Conductor White while he was asleep on the bottoms day before vesterday. His case will have & hearing this morning. The people of the First Baptist church have decided to sell their present build- ing and ground and ask 70,000 for both. With this sum they expect to ba able to purchase aaother location farther west and erect thereon a church to cost not less than $50,000. C. R. Scott and others sold to Samuel ©.

Bufralo Bill Makes Her Throw Up Her Hands and Sign Young Sanger's New York Journal: No. 1,223, alias Mutual District Messenger Sanger, is having all sorts of thrilling adven- tures in London. He is theboy who wus sent over to deliver souven- irs of “The Highest Bidder” to eminent rofessionals like Buffalo Bill and Henry rving. The British government was highly wroth at the audacity of this young Yan- kee in stealing $25 out of “the British treasury. For that’s what his exvidition meant.” He was to deliver 500 missives each of which should have had a five- cent stamp on it. Such a diminution of the government's prospective revenue could not be toler- ated, more especially as a deficit with visions of Lord Kandolph sneering and jibing, stared the most noble Marquis of Salisbury in the face. % ¢ So when 1,222 appeared in his natty blue uniform running about the London lanes he was promptly gathered 1into Bow street. The cable was soon bur- dened with messages. Everybody who had mfluence was implorea to exert iton Sanger's benaif. A prominent lobbyist posted to Washington and poured the boy’s tale of woe into the president’s ear, Grover said it was too bad and promised to open a diplomatic correspsndence on the youngster’s behalf. e declined, however, to declare instant war upon Her Britannic Majesty. Not wishing Sanger to languish in a British dungeon till his hair became gra or paralysis attackek his legs, as in Bid- well’s oase, his employers cabled a pa- thetic appeal to the Hon. William Cody. He quickly had the Deadwook coach inspanned and with a cowboy escort dashed away to Windsor. 4 The beefeaters were thrown into con- vulsions by the hero’s dread presence and, fulling at his feet, implored mercy. Not delaying longer than was necessary, the gallant William strode into Victoria's boudoir and ordered her majesty to throw up her hands. “‘Sanger must be freed at once,” de- clared the Monarch of the Prairie. The queen consented and he allowed her to take down her right hand long enough to sign a free pardon. Then he turned on his heel and was soon flying to the Bow street dungeon. Greal was 1,222's ]o{)cwhrn once more he was allowed to behold the glorious sunshine (the fog lifted long enough to give him one In-(-m and he overwhelmed the modest Bill with his gratitude. The rest of the day was spent in delivering the souvenirs from the Deadwood coach. e are regis- Captain Man Norman, of Cut-oft 1ake, has just placed three fine sail boats to his fleet manufactured by A.

While Buffalo Bill is raising such & furor in England, and while the British- ers, from the royal prince down to the meanest costermonger, are doing the Wild West show wit! vigor, thero are a few here, writes a Leadvilla correspond- ent, who recall that other great cowboy of the footlights as well as the foothillls, and many a visit has been paid to one quaintly marked grave in the gravelly b\lryln‘y firouml of this far-up city. The rave is that of Texas Jack. @ had many points in common with his fellow-showman from the plains, They both took seats in the local legislatures, and both tacked the pregv ‘“Hon.” to their common every-day legal names. Tkrey both were known the country over by their cowboy nicknames, and they were the twin deities to the small boy with an Indian-killing weakness, In some respects the Hon, J. B. Omohundro was a better stage subject than the Hon, William Cody. He could orate, and filled out a border drama in fine style. He came east, and met Morlacehi, the famous dancer. It was a love match be- tween the rough-and-ready dashing buck rider and the Italian woman, trained in the school of La Scala, She little dreamed she was to meet her fate when she came as the Tm\n of the ballet to fill engagements in this country, The two lovea, the gallant border swain and the 1, dark-eyed Italian sylph. arried and could not enjoy each 's socioty enough., It was while filling an engagement in this pneumonia city that Texas Jack went the way of n majority of the 8,800 who lie about him, and he ‘succumbed to the dread lung trouble. His grave slab would have suited his 1deas to a dot. There 18 the carriage belt, with bowie-knife and guns; below, his Winchester.
