THE LOTTERY AND POSTOFFICE Some Eccentricities of Whose Aim Scemed to Manage a Gift Scheme, the to antic Man Be James M, Pattee. In the death of James M. Pattee, one of the oldest citizens of Oma extinct. A non-resident here for more than flue years, yet retaining an al- up to the Omaha’s realty. o can justly be claimed as one His death at the family lence on Waverly Place, St wlocality, while not strictly avis- ic in a modern yet is counted tho habitat of some of the old- est and most wealthy of the St. Louis population, revives recollections of a one day in Omaha, and in which s M. Pattee played a very promi- nent part, There are some of Omaha's tlers who have very vivid brances of the times in which Patte figured, and can vecount many of the pecularitios that characterized his bus- iness movements, In the first few years of his resider in this city he failed to display any of those eccentricities, such as he is said to evidenced later. He was here to make moncy—by the shortest route, and in the easiest man- ner possible. That he succeeded is be- yound all doubt, attested to by the valuable real estate pur- chases he made from time to time, for which he always paid in hard cash. He never auibbled about a dollar or two in making o bargain. The way he acquired this wealth is well known. In those day the ‘‘tottery scheme” was new, at least in the northwest. 1t had the spice of excitement about it so very fascinating to both old and young. Pattee was a brainy fellow; in ce divections at all events and the gulla- ble Nebraskans and people in othe states fell into his scheme with avidity came his way. All the re thrown out, and acted and the Fouche of the Northwe lottery fake, flourished apuce. Nor did he do things by halves, On the site where is now Hornberger's saloon on Douglas st between Thirteenth and Fourteenth strects, he opened an office and commenced opera- tions in great style. “It was no un- commop thing,” says a certain member of our present judiciary, who knew Pat- tee very well, “tor an order to be given by him for the printing of 1,000,000 posters as large as the present Omaha Bee. They were always printed on pink paper; and st up in the most at- tractive dress that the printing offi could suppl "This lottery manipulator was as prod- igal in the help he hired as he w in inting. There were between fift, kept constantly 2 out civeulars, issuing’ tickets, and attending to the various details of the busine Pattge favored female labor, and consequently the major por- tion of his clerical help wore composed . the same member of the judicis ““Pattee had a keen eye for female beauty, and his female clerks were the finest-looking girls you ever saw 1n your life. Indeed, some of them were béautiful women, and ,the ‘boys in those days used to patronize the lot- tery office more for the chance of ex- changing ‘soft nothings’ with the fem nine ¢l than for any great interest they might feel in the result of ipecula- tions in a ticket.” Pattee was an indefatigable worker. From early morning until late at night he was onthe alert. It is not surpris- ing to know that his operations becamo enormous. il each day hrought such quantities of communicati his office that the ordinar ties of that day were pa an unexpected rush of business had the effcet *laying out” Postmaster Griftin, and something had to be done to meet the difficulty That **som ment to Omah becomes most undiminished interest duy of his Mr. Patte of us. ceaso in res Louis sense old set- remem- hing” was of great mo- and had a great in- fluence upon her future. She was raised to the dignity of a postoflice of the first cluss, The population of the y at the time, nor the amoint of post- oftice business transacted (outside of Pattee’s lottery operations) did not war- rant such an honor. But it came never- theless, and to the man who died lately, must the credit be awarded. But Pattce was un mbitious man, and flew at high game In 1871 he became the proprietor of an mewspaper. It was called the Dispateh, It died in a short time. It was principally used to “*boom’ the lottery busines, and probably answered its purpose. Some people have been ungenerous enough when speaking of Pattee’s lottery to refer to it as ono of **all blanks and no prizes.” This is not true. There may not bave been a superfluity of *‘nest eggs” in it, but there is no doubt that some people did draw lucky numbers and R eI sponding financial benelit therefrom. So successful did Mr, Pattee find his lottery business, that in 1878, still re taining his Omaha office, he opened a branch establishment in Laramie Ci and did a land oftice business for ne; in that section of the country. It is further stated by some, that Den- s also favored by his pres ence and an office, but this report can- not be authenticated. But it is certain that he operated in various parts of Wyoming territory, with his usual ménsure of succes: In the winter of 1881 and 1882, Pat- tee's offices were transferred from Douglus street to the building at the northwest corner of Sixteenth and Far- nam streots, formerly the city hall, and as usual, began to manipulate lottery tickets. Whether the people of Omahu had grown tired of the game of chance as exemplified by Pattee, or had suc- cumbed Lo o spasin of virtue, or whether the lottery agency interfered with the success of the gambling fraternity, it is hard to say, but, at this point of the city’s history, un effort was made to put a stop to all lotteries by process of lu District Attorney Burnham preferred a charge against Pattee before the grand jury setting forth that according to the statute law of Nebraska, lotteries were illegal. An indictment followed, to- gether with a prolonged trinl, Pat- tee’s counsel were General Cowin and John M. Thurston. It wasno use, lot- teries had to go, and Pattee was found guilty and fined $500, Accepting the inevitable, he closed his oflice, not, however, before taking the best legal opinion in the city upon the question, 'his opiuion, in every instance, went to support the verdict of the court, After this Pattee seems to have soured somewhat on Omaha., His wife is described as never having thor- oughly acclimated in the west, and yielding to ber solicitations, he removed to 8% Louis, visiting this city, howeve atintervals to look after his real estat but never being more than a transier visitor, He not appear to have tried the lottery scheme in the Mound city, but simply contented himself with superintending the investments he made from time to time in St. Louis ty. Tt is said that of late year: n his old age, he conceived grent ideas as to the soundness of investment in St. Louis securiti and placed every dollar he was worth in them. If reports are to be believed, he was judi- cious in so doing, for he is reputed to have left behind him a fortune of about £500,000, * Mr. te ns born ton county, N. H., on April 6, came of a sturdy English yeoman stock, and in his early = youth had few educational privileges, having to do laborers’ work upon his father’s farm situated in Cannan, N, H. A severe injury received while doing field work incapacitated him for further manual labo; and at the age of eighteen years ho entered an acalemy in the village of Canaan and went through a preparatory course of study for three yoars. Close application to study had the effect of undermining his health, so he had to give that up. Being a good penman he thought it would be 0 good iden to teach writing. In this he was eminently successful and wound up this adventire by opening and conducting for a considerable time, the Boston (Mass,) Commereial college. Being of a thrifty disposition Patteo had by this time “uceumulated s fow thousand dollars ana like many others of his day,in the year 1853 he came west, and made investmentsin real es- tate in Chicago, Rock Island and other pld “Mone, kes mone it is said, and Pattee’s “spees’” turned out regular bonanzas, He lite ly piled them up upon edge. In 1854 he re- turned to New Haven and married Miss Eunice D. Read. a beautiful and accom- plished society lady, the danghter of the late Henry A. Read, a 1cading m it of New Haven. By this m: riage five children, all daughters, we born. While a vesident in 1882 in this city, his youngest child died, an oceur- rence that both Pattee and wife took to heart very mueh, and coupled with his legal troubles at the same time, may have had much to do with his leaving Omaha. After he rried, atour of Ilinois, lowa and Nebraska was under- taken by the newly married couple. After a residence of a few years in the Quaker City, Pattee and wife went to ; and spent two years “doing the of the old count nd ‘63 California was the base of his opera- ions, and like everything cise he put ids to, Patte etz and gold mining turned out immensely success- ful.
