Omaha, Council Bluffs and St. Joseph are the heaviest losers. Some of the creditors have garnisheed and attached the bank subject to its lien.

The stock of goods here will invoice about $12,000. Mur- ray had a branch house at Otis, Colo,, and ono at Hayes Center, Neb. The Otis stock of goods he had transforred to A. Clute of that place.

He Fools Lincoln's Much Vaunted Batters with Consummate Ease, STAFFORD'S DISGUST AT OMAHA WAYS, Mistake of the Audience—Yesterday's American Association Games— Some Spicy Gossip From Sioux City—Other Sports. 1f anybody in Omaha thinks that Manager Shannon hasn't succoeded in congrogating a crowd of ball players togather, they should have goue down to Lincoln yesterday and watched the lambs toy with Dave Rowe's farmers. From start to finish their work was the acme of science and hustling enter- prise, every man contributing his quota to the grand result. Tt was a busy afternoon for the agricultur- alists, and no ‘mistake, and the way they rolled logs, husked pumpkins and gathored hen fruit galore was enough to make a wooden Indian laugh. Lincolu, however, has abundant grounds for fecling proud, for in addition to having a smooth team, she has the prettiest park in the Western association, with its handsome new grandstand and olevated boxes, club houso and other necessary adjuncts, and she can hardly avoid making @ success of it. However, it must be pretty quiet down there these nights for such old metropolitans as Hank O'Day, Burkett aud that old hero of the Revolutionary war, General Jackson Rowe. It might fon to the fa vy culpable piece of 1ot be amiss to call Lincoln's at- at they w of & ) work in hissing and roasting the hiome team in the midst of a spasm of hard luck. Such an experienco is apt to befall any club at any stage of the game, and thus éarly in the season, cheers instead of jeers, is the commodity that boosts them along to better and nobler things. here is no better way in_the world to destroy the eficiency of a lot of capable and energotic ball players than that adopted by the Lincoin audience vesterday, Lancoln wants to grow a trifie in the ways of the world before it ossays the contract it took upon its hand at this. inopportune junct- ure. Dad Clarke made his '] debut in the box for Danuy's Lambs, and _while owing to_a lack of practice he was @ bit erratic, he quickly had the Farmers so well in hand that hetook things easy and fairly begged them to hit bim. On the other hand, the young Buffalonian, Mr. Stafford, was glad to” escape with his life, and at the end cf the second inning he wished that he had nover been born But he is a wise youth, and retired grace- fully to the seclusion of the club house, and then the Alliance men were in & quancar: It wus such another case-of come up in the neck as you don't often witness in a ball game. ) They were overy one dead leary of the brawny sluggers from the shores of the Big Muddy and for a time it looked as if the con- fliet would not go on. Captain Irvin, who played first like an old woman at the washboard, called on Haul O'Day to take Stafford’s place, but Hank said ho would have none of it. Then Mr. Burkett, the other Gothamite, was beseeched t0 go in and he retorted: “Do you want to see me killed " The end was that Captain had to go in himself, and it must be confessed that wyile he “trun’ ‘em o'er’ big as water ‘melons, the Lambs found him a greater puzzle than all tho_rest, and with anything like decent support hé would have kept the score in statu quo, but he didn’t, and Stannon’s men kept up a torch light procession round the bases. But the first inning was a honey cooler. Leu me tell you about it and then you can possibly faintly conceive of the form in which the Omahas’ played ball, Moukey Cline, whose moustacho is rapidly going to seed, lined'out a safe one on tho very first ball Dad let go. ‘Then Dad made an érror by falling down in his effort to gather up Raymond’s bunt, and there were two men on the bags. Then, by George, reliable old Dad mad o a very ambitious pitch, and the two runners moved up & pog, and to cap the climax he socked the next man, Mr. Burkett, in the r1bs and the bases were full. But_that was just one of his tricks, for Captain Trwin bit to Donnelly and Dounlly and “Old Cy” Sutcliffe executed about as brilhant a double play as you ever saw, catching the chimpanzee at_the plate. Then Patton gracefally flied out to Jumping Jack Halligan and the jig was up. Playing—well I should say they were, Them the Lambs came in, and on a_con- catenation of decomposed errors and daffodil- hued blunders Shannon’s men gpiled up five runs big enough to work on the road, and in the second they plunked four more on top of them. But it would be a waste of space to detail the carnage. Suffice it to say the Farmers 100k to the woods after this inning and were only in the game in name afterward. +0ld Cy” Sutcliffe, Joo Walsh, Halliga and Dad Clarke nit everything in sight, whi Jimmy Donnelly played as magmficent a thira as was cver seen on any field. His neat pick ups, lightning throws and general matchless agility were good for sore eyes. But all the boys played finely, and the few orrors that were made were ' excusable aad costles: Clarke could have held the Farmers down toa few scattering hits, but the game was & udding, stuffed with raisins, and Captain Shannon ordered him to “let ’em hit her, we want to get up a sweat,’’ and at divers times Dad obgyed the man- date. “The bruised and bleeding Farmars will bo here this afternoon, and don't yod fail, 1f you want to see a circus, to go 10 see them try to play bail. “Today’s game decides which club takes the whole gate receipts.

The race has been throughout a most exciting one, and the competitors unus- ually well matched. Tonight every byker, evidently, had made up his mind to win the prize, and the way the wheels went whizzing around the ring fairly- made the heads of the n;xnllwrs swim, as they attempted to watch them. Wertz and Flescher were in solendid con- dition tonight, and about 9:30 they each made a splendid spurt, and gained a_lap, catching up with Mockett and Mears, The two latter named gentlomen became very weary thereafter, and though Wertz, Flescher and Clark attempted to pass them they still held their own.

The question of support from other unions took up considerable time, but it was decided that a general boycott of the Burlington cars should be declared, and com- mittees were appointed to visit tho men the Santa Fe, Union Pacific, Rio Grande, Midland and_other yards to ask that the refuse to handle Burlington cars, The meet- ing then adjourned. The men say the strike was declared outof sympathy with the Lincoln men. The asked nothing more than that the Burlington oanize the union and not discharze a man simply because he beiougs to an order which, should he become disabled, would furnish his family subsistence. I'he strike last night included both passen- senger and freight switchmen, and one of the strikers said they intended to tie up tho Burlington so tight that not even President Harrison could get out of Denver over the Burlington. Promptly at 1:30 o'clock the switchmen who had been in_attendance at the meeting appeared at the Burlington freight yards and gave notice to the fow employes there present that they had quit, and that any trainman who worked after that time woula be con- sidered a scab. There were but three night crews working in the yards and none of the en in these crews appeared for work after ). There was no disturbance or demon- ation of any kind made Superintendent Campbell, when informed of the action of the men, Said: **You may say the company will keep on at work a vill supply the places of these men.

The passgnger trains have been handled without any delay and two freight trains were sent out this morning. The strikers have not yet succeeded in inducing the switchmen of any of the other yards to bo cott Burlington curs. Three policemen wero on duty at the yards today. but there was no apparant need for their services. Several meetings have been held by the switchmen, but no important results’ have developed. Thus far the sirike creates but little general interest, and the company will have no difi- culty in filling the strikers’ places from the ranks of unemployed men in the city of which at this time there are plenty, Their Places Being Filled. Dexven, Colo., April 11.—The strikers are only about twenty-five in number. Their grievance is the same as that which caused the strike at Lincoln and Omaha.

Mass meetings are to be held daily at the princi- pal poiuts in the region, stirring addresses are to be detivered and strong efforts made to bolster up the droping courage of the strikers. . On the question of remaining out there was a unity of expression, though nearly every delegate present’ hoped for an early conference and a satisfactory settlement. This seoms a very remote possibility, how- ever. The operators will make no overtures for a conference and the men have deter- mined not to. The counvention passed reso- lutions declaring that they were law-abiding citizens and orderly delegates; counsel the men o keep within the bounds of the law, also eriticizing Captain Loar severoly, Tho coke companies will make a general effort to vesume Monday morning and livoly times are expeoted Moro eviction notices were served on strik- ers’ families throughout the region today, Possibility of a General Strike.
