WAS T00 FLEET FOR LEOY Kid Bullivan Easily Outfoots the Veteran Bprinter from Over the River, SURPRISE FOR A LOT OF KNOWING ONES Fine Dash of & Fundred Yards Finlshed in Good Time -Nonpareils Win from the Conventions— Other 8, Sporting Events. There was a great assemblage of “feot runners” at the fair grounds yesterday aftor- noon to witness the 100-yard sprint between Frank Sullivan, known to his many friends as the Kid, and Leon Lozier. The match was for 850 a side, pistol shot start, Shefield rles, and attracted a vast doal of specula- tion among the followers of the path all over the state. lozier is & turf-trica old professional, woll versed in all th tricks of the trade, and probably as good a fifty-yard man as there is in the country, Sullivanis 5 mere boy, & hundsome little feilow, who learned his lessons in foetology in an entirely differont school than that feom which Lozier grad- uated. As a consequence the prevailing sentiment was that Leon would win, if not by nimbleness ot foot, by his superior gener- alship after the men had toed the mark There of courso plenty of Lozier money on linnd. and for a time it looked as 1f the outside bets would be both scarce and small. But the Kid's father was on hand with aroll, and finally, after all the pre- liminaries had been arranged to his satis faction, he stated that he was willing to place a fow hundred on his son. Like A black bass goes after a grass trog, Leow's backers from over the river wentafter Mr. Sullivan's cash, and in the twinkling of an eve they had succeeded in covering £50 of his hard-carned simoleons, and then they fairly cried for more. The ol gent, however, said he would go no fur- ther— he just wantod to got up his “chicken feed,” any it didu't, make much difference whether fie won or lost. At 4 o'clock everything was in readiness, John Clark and Frank Grenill wers selected as judges and W. H. Copple as refereo, whilo A Downs acted as starter and S, G. V. Griswold as stal “Already - set,” Aud the flyers were off on as pretty a start as honest man could care to seo. It was ear to ear up to fifty yards, when the Kid from the a wis veteran, and at yards he wie of with the lowan straining e and muscle to save the money backers. But 1t was no go. At eighty yards the colt turned and threw a kiss to the old timer and bounded a second later against the rope fully one yard ang a quarter ahead of Lozier. % The old man, the hero of 100 thrilling chases on the track, was beaten fairly, squarely and boevond 'dispute, and this he manfully acknowledged, although 1t was like drawing an eyo-tooth to do it “Ihe time was 10 1-5_ seconds, which was exceedingly zood considering the hardness and rougliiess of the track, seventy t to the good, -y nerve, fibre of his plucky WON BY THE NONPS, Bouthend Boys Very Handsomely Do the Tho team of ball players with the former name of what the people's party held here a year ago, were the victims of Win Camp's pitching at Nonpareil park yesterday afternoon—but not so easy, either. Hardly half a crowd was out to watch a stubbornly contested game. 1t was & case of hard hitting when hits were made, no less than four triples and a homer out of a total i ues being made. The South s put up a fairly pret game, just ough to land them winners by a Lawler was ht by a_pitched ball in the first iuning, stole second and got across on Lacey’s low throw to catch him and a half passed. Bowman opened the fourta with a triple and scored on a wild pitch. Miller pounded out a home run in the same innin Dolan also got around on his basc on balls, & steal of sccond, Lawler's sacrifice and Gate- wood’s poor throw of Creighton’s littlo push 1o short. At their next whirl at the plate Creighton’s team scored their §{th and last run on Gatewood’s high throw of Davis' easy one, tho latter going all around on tho error. “The Nonpareils commenced cperations in the second. Lacey placed a nice single, Roing to second on Mo y's out from Ken. nedy to Bowman, and scoving on Bradford's beauty of a triple. The latter scored on the next bali pitched, which was too wild for Art Creighton to touch. Davis' yellow muff off Maboney's drive to center was mainly respousiblo for the run to tho credit of the Nonpureils in tho third, and Moriarty's three-bagger and another wild pitch accounts for their run in the fifth Carrigan's error, that spoiled an otherwiso sure double play with one man out, gave tho 'Pareils three in the sixth Camp, Gatewood and McAuliffe divided equally the errors for the Nonpareils, while the Creightons were pretty evenly ais. tributed. Dolan's handling of a scorcher from Mahoney's ash, and Jollen't hurd run in and eateh of Bowman’s bigh ono were the best features of a very good game.

D — AMUSEMENTS, When occasion required, an Omaha audience can be as patient as any body of people in the wide, wide world, and patience was cortainly required last night at Boyd theater. An audience, representative in character, with tho musical colony largely in the lead, was present to welcome the Mormon Tabernacle choir, but the cnoir came not, till 10 o'clock. On this occasion it was not the sickncss of the prima donna or the lous objection of the tenor to some member of the company taking the center of the stage oftener than that delayed the opening number of the program, but it was the inability of a railroad to ot the Salt Lake organization in on time. Although the choir left_ Chicago Saturday at midnight on a spec train over the Rock Island it did not arrive here until after 9 o'clock last evening. A more thoroughly disgustea lot of musicians could not have been found anywhere than the members of the Tabernaclo choir lust night Without so much as breaking their fast for fifteen hours, except as they might get a dwich along the road, the ladies and temen went on last ovening, rendering progeam in an exceptional manner, ali things considered Previous to the appearan I K. Gillespie, representin TH bt ot tHo JoUrReY O% Lhe Lo tion, told tho story of what had attracted tho members out of Zion ana the suc that had be m met in competition with east ern organizations. Then, to kill time, b described Prof. Stevens, the director, and how he had ascended the ladder of success from & section hand to the position of promi nence he now oceupicd in the musical world f Utah. Then came a_deseription of the roacle at Salt Lelke in which the choir sings and other features hardly consonant with tho ocension. And the audicnce waited patiently to tho ond. But the audience was amply repaid for the long wait after the choir had settled down 1o the program of the evening. The opening number, a - stirring chorus by Stephens (“Hosanna), wassung with fine cffet, when empty swmachs and ruflled tempers av taken into consideration. Thero was a tendency on the part of the sopranos and bassos to flat, hut Director Stevens pulled them up before the final s reachod. A duct, “‘Consolation,” by Mesdames Nollie Druce-Pugsley and Bessie Dean-Allison was a fine bit of work, the contralto particularly appearing to advantage, After hearing the male chorus of sixty voices in “Cambria’s Song of Freedom,” is casily understood why the chorus enter the competition for the 81,000 prize at the World's fair. 1t is very much doubted if an Omaha audience ovor heard a male chorus to fner advantage, Excellent iu attach and correct in tempo there was a swing and dash about the rendition that called out wetl deserved applause. Mrs. Agnes Olsen-Thom: nette with a fine mezo voice, gave i quaint Norwegian bailad by Ole Bull. Mrs. Thomas sang with rave feeling and showed a thor- ouzh musical training. ies’ ehorus rendered the “Mother's L by Stephens in a manner which showed how thoroughly the director had them in . The composition is wondor- fully suggestive of Mendelssohn and his “Songs Without Words,” but although sug- gestive there is no intimation of plagiarism. Mr. . D. Easton, the solo tenor of the mpany, sang “Annie Laurie” no better ian o dozen Omaha tenors can sing 1t, who are not posing as soloists. The event of the performunce, however, was easily tho bi chorus “Worthy is the Lamb,” by Handel composition excoedingly dificult, requiring the finest measurc of h to properly bring out the lofty beauty of the theme “Tue composition has never been heard to botter advantage in Omaha, and the con- sensus of opinion was that the choir de- servedly ranked among the choirsof the world, “IHungarian Aivs,” by Ernst, was selected by Mr.s Willard ' B Weihe to show his ability us a violin soloist, but either his se- lection was a bad one or else Mr. Weie does not possess tho techuique necessary to reflect the thought of this tone poet. 1t was pressionless in rendition, the opening bars being pluyed in a very amateurist manner. And his accompanist was liko unto hum, The compuny, after foraging upon the hotels and restaurants of the city, left at 1 o'clock for Denver. necessary a petite bru- “01o Olson™ at the Farnn “Ole Olson,” an old time favorite in Omalia, is at tho Farnam Street theater for dour nights.

The ghastly made by Dr. Holmes of 420 sicth street and R, Arthur American Express company who is visiting Dr. Holmas, T'ho hands are not those of Burdick, the man who is thought to have been robbed nd murdered a-week ago. Several men have been mysteriously miss: ing of late, and among them weve Burdick 1d “Swede Chiarley,” a hack driver. Both ecovered dead in the waters of this vicinity, Theso things hav d_much talkk and many peoplo now beheve that if he lake is thoroughly dragged other bodies will b found Many rows have taken place on the di puted terr of Cut O island and a few murders have followed. There are o num ber of saloons in that” vicinity which « used as vous by somo of the touzhest men i Omaha and Council Bluffs, Since Courtland beach has been established and become such a popular resort for the people, tho tough eloment has h keop further away from the lake Not long ago some of the who infest that locality, became so bold that thoy attacked and noarly killed two police- men, who attempted tq t them. Toughs are uot permitted o enter or loiter around the beach, und it is thought that they lay around the saloons and the outside of the fenca for the purposo of robbing some un- fortunate, who strays away from tho beach, Most of theso loafors are known to tho police, and “the officers say that some of them would commit murder, without hesi tion, for the purpose of robbery. T'his class of men ovidently beliove thut tdead men tell no tales,” as attested by Burdick’s generally conceded murder. Why Dr. Holmes Was Interosted. A week ago yesterday Dr. Holmes and Mr. Tzschuck, accompanied by their wiv were rowing' on the lake in the evening. They distinctly heard throe long-drawn-out sereanis as if some one was in mortal agony, “They thought some one was drowning and answered the cries. 1 ponse, they rowed to the pl: Bur- dick’s body was found. They heard some ono splashing through the water, going toward the shore. They could dimly dis- cern the outlines of a man in the darkness. They shouted to him buv received no ans- wer. Nothing particutar matter until Burdied's Dr. Holmes and Mr. Foulks went out to the lake yesterday to quietly investi things. They rowed to the spot wher body was found. Wading from the boat, Dr. Holmes soon found footprints dceply im- prossed in the mud. He followed them and the tracks led him o the bank northwest from the terminal of the tramway. Near this bank was secn a mound of mud, prob- ably a muskrat's home, where some one had evidenuly sat down. This is about the place where they first saw the man leaving the lake "a week ago. Dr. Holmes now thinks that Burdick was slugged, robhed and carried out in the lake by this man who sat down on this mound in the weeds and atched the party while they were search- iug for the person whose screams attracted their attention. Ho began searching the Inko for the weapon which he thought might havo been thrown into the lake. While he wais doing this he discovered u white linen handkerchief. Horrified at Another Discovery. He was about 1o call the attention of Mes. Foulks to it, when he saw alarge hand stick- tially out of the water.

Ie took the dismembercd hands to the boat house at the beach and securing a bathing suit returned to the place where he found the hands and instituted a thorough scarch to sec if ho could fina the body to which the hands belonged. He worked at the wrue. some task until fatigue and heat compelled bim to stop and he returncd to Omaha, The doctor locked the hands upin his offico and uotificd the coroner of Poltawattamie county, lowa, who will go to the beneh this morning and take charge of the ghastly find The hands are evidently those of a good- ized mau and the finger and thumb nails arc broad, being almost square, The doctor is of the opinion that they belonged to a Inboring man. The back of the hands we covered by a thick growth of long, black hair. Thoy were like a pair of gloves. The skin” was lacerated in the palms near tho wrists, but it is _though® this was tho offect of the water. The sloughing off of the skin is regurded as bemg somewhat unusual, Theory of Murder or Suloide Dr. Holmes and others who assisted in the search are of the firm beliof that the body of the mau to whom the hands bolonged is ly- ing in the bottom of the lake und is he down by something. He and others will continue the search today snd see if thoy e this mysto ‘They regard it as strange that the hand should be found so close to where Burdick's body was found, and the circumstance has caused all sorts of rumor: I y hud been advanced that this portion of the lake is known by a gang who find it a ¢ % place Lo dispose of their victims, and that the man who s seen by Dr. Holmes and party n week ago last night is one of this gang.
