Supposed to Have Been Dead for Six Years, James Lafler's Hidin Place Discovered by the Detectives. The Dead Come to Life. Morrison Wilcox. deputy sherift of Cattar- sugus county, New York, passed through the city yesterday en route to Olean, and had in custody James Gregory Lafler, a promi- nent stock raiser whose ranch is located near Watrous, New Mexico. The prisoner was handcuffed, and huge steel shackles were clasped about his ankles. The crime for which Lafler is now under arrest is robbery and assault with intent to kill. The story of the terrible affair as told to a Bee reporter by the officer 18 & strange one and is us follows: Mr. and Mrs. Mason Lafler, parents of the prisoner, are respectable farmers living near Olean, New York. Twin sons were born to them and when they grew to manhood the resemblance between them was so great that few people could tell one from the other. Both of them were sent to college, Jumes choosing _Cornell and his brother William went _to Both of them, after three left their alma_maters and retur home. William took the management of the farm and James began the study of law in the village of Olean. It was the habit of the latter to spend Sunday ut home and on the evening of that day the brothers invariably spent a few hours at_the house of a neighbor named John Cliftord, a rich lumber manu- facturer and who had' two lovely daughters. One Sunday night in June 1883 a gentleman called on Mr. Clifford and paid him nearly 5,000 in cash. This was_done in the presenceof both the Lafier brethers. Shortly after the twins departed for hom Between the hours of 2 and 8 o'clock next morning, Mr. Clifford was attacked by a masked man and beaten into i The 83,000 which was hidden betwe mattress of the bed was taken and the rob- ber started to make his escape. He was met in the hall by the youngest Miss Clifford, William Laffer's sweetheart, and the girl with unusual bravery, snatched the mask from the robbers face and exclaimed, * God, Bill Lafler what have you done?” The would-be murderer struck her and then fled. Next morning William Lafler was arrested and held without bail charged with h\uglur\ and attempted murder. Mr. recovered and William was placed on_triai. The main witness was his old sweet-heart who swore positively the robber. She was sure it was not James as the robber was dre the same clothes William worn the mght preceeding the crime and and which in material and style were radi- cally different from those worn by his brother, In his own behalf William testified that he was innocent and all he knew was that he had retired one hour after leaving the Clifford mansion on Sunday night. He had awakened in the morning with a _terrible nausea and felt queer for two or three ds The jury had brought in a verdict of guilty us charged and the prisoner was sentenced to ten years hard labor at Sing Sing. While nearly every one b fullly there was one firm friend who doubted and set about to discover the truth. His investigation lasted nearly a year. His dis- coveries in brief were as follows: James at Cornell contracted many debts which were paid shortly after the robbery. That he had sent 2,000 to & Mrs, Coates in Ithiaca as hush money for his ruining her daughter. That on the Sunday night preceeding the robbery James had purchased _two ounces of chloroform at an Olean drug store with which he undoubtedly drug- ged his brother. A hundred minor things were found out that proved the guiltof James Lafler. Before this investigation was completed James left for a trip to New York, About two months later a report reached Olean that he had been drowned off Long Branch while yachting, and that his body could not be recovered. A week after- ward @ respectable looking man giving_his name as Alfred Thomas appeared at the Laf- ler farm and confirmed the news. He brought with him _certain papers that bore out his statement, and Jumes was given up as dead. One day, about three years later, Olean and the surrounding country were qléctrified by the action of Governor Hill, who issued a pardon for William Latier, stating that he was convinced of the convict's innocence,and that he was positive that the crime wus com- mitted by his dead twin brother, The years passed on and would doubtless become only amemory ere long but for the appearance of & man in Olean five weeks ago who had a secret interview with the county, or district attorney. He informed that official that he was the man who had brought the news of James' death to the family six years before and that he was paid by 108 todoit. He said that James was living and ‘was a ranchman, located near Wutrous, New Mexico. A warrant was issued and the fugi- tive 11|1Yrehlm<l<‘d last Thursday. He stoutly denies his guilt and says that he will be able 10 prove his innocenc elieved William e THE DOG ORDINANCE. Chief of Police Seavey Determined to Enforce It. The city ordinance regulating the running at large of dogs is a dead letter and has been sinco its original inception. The tax, pro- vided for the enactment, is $1 a year per dog, but the law or any part thereof has never been enforced or any tax collected. Chief of Police S(‘nvnimhowuvw, declared that he has determined that hereafter, commencing with the 1st day of March, the letter and the rit of the ordinance shall be carried out and executed. He estimates that there are 1o less than 8,000 unlicensed dogs running at large in the city, and he intends to either de- populate the community of these useless and annoying canines or. see that the city realizes the lawful revenue. In the months of June, July, August and September it 18 againt the lawv to_allow any unmuzzled dogto runut largein the streets of the city of Omaha. Any dog caught thus unmuzzled the law requires shall be killed, and the owner, if he be convicted of allowing such dog to run 8o at large, shall be fined in a sum not_less than $100. Any party allowing a dog known to bo vicious to run at large at any time unmuzzled is liable t0 a fine not less than $25 or more_than $100. Chief Seavey is making preparations for a rigid enforcement of this ordinance and all owners” of dogs are_hereby forewarned against any violation of the same. A metal tag attached to a collar will be furnished for and which exempts them from molestation while at large, or during the ‘current yeur of the. payument of such x. THE UNION PA 'S ATTITUDE. The Company Has Decided Not to Join in the Freight War. ‘The Union Pacific will not take part in the great froight war, at least for the present. In view of the fact that both the B. & M. and Chicago & Northwestern are actively engaged in the strife and that these two roads enter a considerable port of the territory covered by the Union Pacific the decision of that com- pany has occasioned much surprise. To local points in Nebraska the rates of the B. & M. and Northwestern are much lower on all classes of freight and the stand taken by the Union Pacific, is, to say the least a very strange one. In conversation with an old railroad man yesterday a BEr reporter was _informed that in all probability” the unusually strange attitude of the Union Pacific was due to an agreement with the warring roads, whereby the freight trafic would be pro rated and that the Union Pacific would receive its ‘whether they mrriml 8 poumi ornot, is hoped would break up the war aban early date inasmuch as all dealers west of the Missouri river are delayiug giving or- ders for goods hoping to get a very small freight rite. They are anxiously watching the movements of the Union Pacific managers and will hold off as long as possible before orderinginy freight shipped. Of course this will affeer all the roads and they, seeing that 0nsij snu. even at reduced rates, are rer! will come 1o an agreement soon. Till of the cuse was stated to a prom- inent Union Pacific official yesterda; said that it was a very He ingenious theory but was absolutely untrue. The Union Pacific, he further said, was in no such com- bination. The company simply refused to enter into the battle and would keep out as long as possible. The connections of the road had been so informed. To the question: “What _is the reason of the company's de- cision?” he said that he did not care to dis- cuss that point. The company has taken its stand and that was all there was of it There quighit be some important move o the near uture, but of that he could say nothing at present, Notwithstanding the denial of the Union Pacific the theory advanced, as above, is gen- erally accepted as true in commercial circles, MORTUARY. aun The funeral of this well-known gentleman took place Sunday afternoon from his late residence on Eighteenth street near Leaven- worth, It was largely attended by friends and acquaiutances who had known the de- ceased in life. The funeral services were conducted by Re A. Copeland, of the Unitarian chu The pallbearers were A. T cholas, Henry Bolin, Henry Scavers, . Strathman, Herman Meyer und Gustave Befieke.

FREDDY MACKAY The death yesterday of Fre year-old nephew and adopted child of Mackay, 1615 Chicago street,was from a curi- ous and unusual cause, Aboat A year ago one of his play-fellows in spart thrust a piece of chalk into his car. T he piece was so firm fixed in the orifice that it could not moved, and as a result an abscess formed, which was treated in vain by physicians. There was 10 symptoms of the case proving fatal, and only a few hours before his death the bOV ‘was out at play. The death was sud- den and is thought to have been caused by the abscess bursting in the brain, causing the same effect as apop OMAHA ALWAYS AHEAD. Albert, the Champion Pedestrian, a Former Resident of This City. It may not be generally known, but it is a fact that Albert, the winner of the recent six days go-as-you-please walking match at Madison square garden, New York, was at one time & resident of this city, an attache of the old gambling house of Bivens & Ken- nedy, over the Turf Exchange. Albert's scorein the race was 621 miles and a frac- tion, the biggest on record. A still more wonderful feature of the perfortnance is that Albert on the last day, was sound and healty, and apparently as fresh as upon the opening day. This, together with the mar- velous distance he covered, has given rise to a widespread suspicion among sporting men, and many ovenly declare that there was some ‘‘shenannigan’ connected with his work. Fitzgerald, the ex-champion’s c brated score was 610 miles, eleven miles less than Albert's, and at the close Fitzgerald, who is u man of traordinary endurance, was all but literally prostrated with exhaustion and unable to move hand or foot for days. Fitzgerald de- clares the recent achievement an 1mpossi- bility and challenges Albert to a sunilar con- test with him. That there was fraud con- nected with Albert's feat there scems to be but little doubt. Just what Albert's secret is, of course, is a matter difficult to discover, but the furore it has created may lead to a full expose of the whole affair. ——— LIFE AND DEATH.

Frank Hampton, a traveling man, ap- peared before Assistant County Attorney Gurley yesterday and made complaint against Nellie King, charging her with rob- bing him of #00 in her house Sunday night. Hampton called there in a state of intoxica- tion, and yesterday discovered that he had been robbed. Miss King denied the story to a Beg reporter, and denounced Hampton asa dead-beat and a bilk. She said she counted his money after he had been in the house an hour or soand that he had but 835 in bills, and two or three dollars in silver, and that he lost none of it nor left none of it in her place. She was arrested later on and her trial set for this_afternoon. When_the case came up Miss King was dismissed, as Hampton failed to appear. She is very indig- nant ‘at the charge made against her, and has since sworn out a warrant for the arrest of the complainant on the charge of perjury. s S ‘What the Mother-in-Law Says. Mrs. Ellen Kingsley, mother-in-law of William Kinney, whose domestic troubles have received some prominence lately, states thatshe is in no wise responsible for the trouble in the Kinney household. Mrs. Kingsley says she does not court the promi- nence in which this affair has brought her name, yet in justice to herself and friends she feels called upon to make this aenial. She regrets greatly the misfortune of her daughter, yet is satisfied thut she has done all in her power to avert it. Diebold Safes.

The South Omuha Medical society is now an established institution, and any one con- templating an attack of illness can fizure out how much it will cost. g'he price list runs from $1 to £200 for the various ills that man is heir to, and neat copies of it are conspicu- ously displa the drug shops.

It is at the depot. and_the owner can have it on applica- tion—Conductor Wilcox has no use for it.
