THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 1804 - A ARRESTED FOR EMBEZZLING Former Business Man of Lincoln Returns from California and Gets Into Trouble, SCHOJL SUPPLY COMPANY MATTERS Alteroation Botwoen the Members and the Ex-Managor Ends in the Latter's Ar- roat on the Charge of Sequestor= ing Notes of Some Value, Lixcory, Neb., Jan. 21.—[Special to Tus Bre.]—Considerable comment has been ox- erved in Lincoln by the arrest on the charge of embezzlement of J. M. Murdock, at one time the manager of the Lincoln School Sup- ply company of this city, Mr. Murdock went to California after severing his connection with the company, and not a hint thav o was a defaulter was given out. Yesterday he returned to Lincoln and visited the ofize of the company. Here he became involved in an altercation with the members of the company over the ownership of a piece of furniture. Later in the day L. H. Austin, ‘W. J. Turner and C. H. Rohman it before Justice Spencer and swore out a warrant for Murdock’s In their complaint they charged him with having converted to his own use notes and bills amounting to $052.35. The constable who was detailed to serve the warrant had no difficulty in placiog M Murdock unde rrest. As soon as the arrest was made he was talken before Justice Spencer where he gave bonds for his ap- pearance on January 81, his surcties being H. M. Leavitt and John McIntosh Murdock claims that the arrest is a piece of spite work and that he will satisfactorily account for every piece of commercial paper which passed through his hands while he was connecied with the company. Sawyer Stll Protests. A. J. Sawyer, i whose behalf 1t is claimed that telegrams have been sent to Washing- ton, urging & nt to the Unitod States district ship to fill the vacancy created at midnight last night by the retirement of Ben Baker, protests in emphatic language that he is nov a_candi- date for the position and denies that auy his friends in Lincoln are wavming the tele- graph wires or his pehalf. Mr. Sawyer is the recognized head and front of the anti- Bryan democracy of Lincoln. He was ol of the democrats who worked for the nom nation of J. Sterling Morton for governor the lust time that distinguished Nebraska democrat was offered as a sacritice, and he it was who brought Mr. Morton to Lircoln during the campaign to make a two hours speach on_ the issies of .the day, fifteen miuutes of which were devoted to the issues and the balance of the time given up to a discussion of the silver heresy of Congress- L yer's appointment would undoubtedly widen the breach petween the Bryan and anti-Bry: ts of Lincoln, although his fitness for the place is gen- erally conceeded. Calhoun and the Postoflice. J. D. Calhoun, the Lincoln editor, whose pungent criticisms of the present admin tration are just now being read with no lit- tle gusto by the men who ave 8o bitterly op- posing his candidacy for the Lincoln post- oftice, stated to Tur Bee last evening that he had just received advices from Washing- ton informing him that Senator Manderson ‘would assist the administration in the appointment of D.

IN A FIGHT WHILE DRUNK WHIPPED And it Was Convenlont to Manufacturs the Footpad Tale—Pawned, the Watch and Oveccont Himself—The Pawn Brokor's Story. John Higgins and Steve Murphy, arrested and bound over for highway robbery and as- cault last weelk, prove to be innocent of the charge and steps will be taken today to have them released. William Williams, residing at Thirty- eighth and Western streets, 1s the wan whom they assauited and robbed, according to hisstory. Yesterday, however, some ne facts came to light which seem to prove his statement untrue, Oficer Davis has been, during the past few days, making a caveful search of all the pawn shops in order to dis- cover, If possible, the watch and overcoat which Williams said were taken from him on she night of the robbery. Yesterday morning Davis visited Pawn Broker J. Keplan's place, 412 South Tenth strect. After tho book was produced and given a caroful scanning a memoramdum was discovered of the pawning of an overcoat there; also a silver watch. The goods were next produced and Mr. Koplan was asked something of the appearance of the indi- vidual who put them there. Mr. Keplan said he was a tall man with alight mus- tache and gave some little idea of his gen- eral appearance. A trip to the county jail, where the alleged robbers are confined, was decided on, Mr. Keplan being requested to accompany the offivers; the overcoat and watch were taken along. At the Jail Hig- gins and Murphy were brought out and Mr, Keplan asked if either of them had visited bis place the past month. The pawn- broker looked sharply at the men in front of him and was very emphatic in saying that he had never seen either of these men in his store or, in fact, anywhere eise. That settled it for the present; they returned to the station and, after a short consultation, a trip to Mr, Willlams' residence was decided upon. Mr. Keplan was very urgently re- quested to accompany the police on this oc- casion also, bringing, too, the watch and overcoat. All got in the wagon and were driven rapidly northward to the Williams residence. Said Willlams Was the Man. The place reached, a knock at_ the door elicited the response to enter. Here Wil- liams and some Scotch friends reside, and Mr. Keplan was asked if any of those in the room had been in his place of business re- cently and, if so, if an overcoat and watch had been left there, Without even a glance at_the other occu- pants of the room Mr. Keplan said, “That's the man,” pointing to Williums. “You are sure he is the one!” ofticer. *Why, as certain as I am that I am alive,” said Mr, Keplan. *“He has been doing a pawnbroking business with me for some time and this same overcoat and watch have been pawned and redeemed several times, A trip back to the shop was made and the book again consulted, and it showed that B. Williams had pawned his watch October 19. This time ho received $4 on 1t; again on November 27, at 9 o'clock in the morning, ‘Williams brought in his watch and coat. He RO $5, on both articles. Kach of these times the goodsewere redeemed Nothing again was secn of Willigms till January 16, the night of that day being the night of the alleged robbery. On that date Williams, came to Keplan's place about 2 in tho after- noon and put up his watch, and at 3 he re- turned and secured $| on his coat. This was the last ssen or heard of Williams till some bold headlines in° an Omaha paper an- nounced that ge had been robbed and beaten into insensibility near the fort. When picked up after the alleged rovbery 1s said 10 have occurced, it will ve remembered he did not bear a scar of any sort and only com- piained of an awful pain in his side. Strange Part of the Story. Of the man Higgins, Williams gave a per- fect description, and this is the strange part of the story. He also described Murphy, but could only say that Murphy had kicked him in_the stomach, and he was not sn pos- 1tive about him as abous Higgins. Just why he solected these two men and identified them as having slugged and robbed nim, will probably never be known, but the conclu- sion was drawn by tho police that ‘as Hig- gins and Murphy had been in_the habit of going to the fort very frequently to get something to eat, and as Williams lives near the fort, he met these two men in that w: The true facts in the case are thut Wil liams pawned the overcoat and watch hi self, and, becoming drunlk, he and his Scoich friend started home. They quarreled and nearly came to blows several vimes, and when near home it is thought that they finally did fight, Willlams coming out second best, and as he knew Higgins and Murphy and could doscribe them, he thought it would be a good way out of his difficulty and to recover his property . Tt was with dificulty that Mr. Keplan was kept, from havm while in “the house, and Willlams and his friend both promised to do him violence. What steps will bo taken - in regard to Williams is not anbounced. said the NABBING CLOTMING THIEVES, Polico Making Headway at Breaking Up o Gang—Vroperty Recovered. Soon the polico will have found enough clothing to go into business. Yesterday Ofticer Ravencamp recovered two cutawhy suits stolen from Lindquist's tailoring es- tablishment some days ago. They were found in a pawn shop along with other stoten clothing. Grant Thompson, colored, was arrested for stealing these clothes and was identified by Pawn Broker Speigle as the one who brought the goods to his place, Thompson was charged with burglary and grand larceny, and he is thought by the police to know something of all the taitor shop rob- beries of the past two weel There is another connected with this thiev- ing gang and he 18 by far the neatest one of all. He s C. Ashford, also colored, and it has been known for some days that he is re. sponsible for many of these thefts, but the police have been unable to cateh him. They would get a clew when some new robber, took place and then it would be lost. Ff: nally_he was located in Council Blutts and it was while endeavoring to pawn some clothes that he was nabbed by the authorities across the river, As he bad not stolen any- thing there, so far as known, the Omaha authorities were nocified and Captain Cor- mack and Detectives Dunn and Donahue brought him over, At the stalion he was searched thoroughly, but only a paste dia- moud and 25 cents in money were found upon h o charge was made burglary and grand larcony. When asked 1f he was guilty by the juiler he sald: SP01 tell you more about it after a while,” and his face 1it up with a grin, Ashford is a woll known crook and when he arrived at the station Oficer Dick Mar- nell pulled back his coat collar and saw two scars. “Oh, I see,” said Dick, ‘you have had those tumors removed.” “What you kunow about any tumors? the dusky Ashiford asked. “Don't you remewmber when you were last here how you suffered with those tumors on your neck?" The negro laughed, but had not a word to say. Yo was nrresied somo years ago for burg- lavizug Jettie Reynolds' place on Ninth strcot, und for this got three years in the penitentiary. 1t was there that ho had the tumors vemoved. He served some of his time, when friends intervened and secured 4 retrial ufter his sentence. After much time he was acquitted, and this 1s bis second | np{vuln\uru here on the police stage. ) ‘Thompson not much is known, aud this 1s the first time he-hus heen iu any trouble of this nature. Stolen goods were recovered from the fol- lowing pawnbrokers: Spelgle, one suit; Proisman, ono suit; Rpthenborg, one suit; Nathan & Co., one dvétuoat. Mr. Lindquist piubably lost $150 worth of staff, but all of it has been recoverod und re- stored to him. I~ CHRISTIAWDISCIPLESHIP, Discussed by Rev. R, N, MeUnig at Hans- com Park Jethodist Chureh. Last night's seryjce at tho Hanscom Park Methodist ohurch, began a series of gospel meetings which will continue for at lenst two weeks. The pastor, Rev. W. P, Murray, is assisted by Rev. R: N. McCaig, who will be remembered a8 a former pastor of the First Methodist ¢hurch. of this eity. For some time Mr. MoCalg has devoted his en- tire vime to evangelical work in which he has been vory successful, The church was filled last evening and the meetings opened with a manifestation of marked luterest. Mr. McCaig spoke on the text: “If any man will come after me, let him deny him- solf and take up his crass and follow me.” In the opinion of the speaker the text laid down three distinct tests for discipleship, and in a regular order, Christ compelled no one to come after Him, but to those who were willing to do so theso threo require- ments wero necessary. The very first ob- Joct of the disciple must be to deny himself. Christ had set the example by being tra- duced and reviled and persecuted while on earth, and 8o all who would follow Him must expect to have difficulties to overcome and burdens to bear until the time of the resurrection and the final glory. Tnree Tests Considered. The speaker considered the three tests in thelr order and first asked what was meant by self-denial. Christ did not moan to de- prive the body of its enjoyment and proger uses. He did not mean that his disciples should wear forbidding faces and ill-fitting clothing. That was not self-donial, but self- righteousness, which a good’ many people practised to make the world believe thav they were better than the world was. It did not mean that the disciple was to shut his eyes to all the opportunities and beauties of the world about him. He must not, how- ever, allow his attention to bo drawn to those things which had a tendency to divert him from his discipleship. But this was a principle that belonged not only to a Chris- tian life, but to every sort of life. To attain success ' in any calling a man must shut his ears to aistracting voices. ‘This was but the philosophy of life and was a necessary essential for any man to make the most of himself, Self-denial as Christ meant it and as the church meant 1t today was the entire surrender of one's self to God. The man who truly denied himself was the one who believed that without Christ he was nothing and yielded himself up to be used for Christ's service ana to be known as one of His followers. To take up the cross was always the next step.1n the order of salvation. No man could take up his cross untl after he had sur- rendered himself to Christ and then it fol- lowed as a natural consequence. Why Crosses Are Heavy. The reason why some people were drag- ging their crossés along so painfully was that they had their haads and hearts and eyes full of self. Taking up the cross was siaply being ready to do' anything: that one could”do for Christ, Np one could tell an- othor what his cross (vas. Al had thoir own personal crosses, which were peculiar to themselves. 3 The speaker wenton th classify some of the crosses which the disciple of Christ should bear. One was tho businoss cross. Business men should ' recommend their re- ligion to their business partuners, to their clerks and to the men with whom they rode down town on the streét'cars in the morning and’lunched with at noofi. The social_cross was another ana it cgnsisted in roligious effort among ove's ‘circly of acquaintances und in endeavoring to saye souls in the social circle. A more fmportadt cross than all was the one that must be borne in the home circle. Tivery Christianshould ask a bless- ing on his meals, read the, seriptures, in his family aud have regalay fannly prayer. Thé meetings will be. continued eyery evening in the weck except Saturday night and an afternvon service will be held from 1 to 2 p. m. each aay. et FIRE Ay COZAD. Union Pacific Depot at that Place Totally Destroyed with Coatents. The Union Pacific received advices last night that its depot at Cozad, Neb., was totally destroyed by fire, . At 7:15 the night operator noticed flames issuing from the root, but as there was no fire apparatus in the vicinity, his efforts to quench the blaze were una'va The fire 18 supposed to by a defective chimnoy, as the roof was _where the flames wero first seen. To add to the disaster a can of qil in the freight room oxploded and caused the fire to spread more rapidly. Thero was nothing to do but watch the building burn and to save as much prop- erty as was possible. The ticket case, all the telegraph instru- ments and in fact everything that could burn was destroyed. All communication with that place.was shut off, the knowledge of tke fire being receivea from Lexington. AR o s WANTED AT GRAND ISLAND, County Jall Prisoner Confesses to Having Stolen Grips There. Ernest Delmar, arrested and serving time in the county fail for larceny, is also wanted in Grand Island. Chief Seavey received a letter from the Grand Island officials and it was turned over to Sergeant Ormsby. Ormsby interviewed him yesterday and Delmar confessed to having stolen some grips at_ Grand Island aud said he went from there to Faivbury, where he stopped at the Commercial hotel. He told also of how he was being pressed by the oficials of Grand Island and said that he loft the grips and other stuff at a hotel in Fairbury. Ormsby telegraphed the Grand Isiand police to go there and secure their proverty. i et FOR BHATING HIS WIiFE, Kegular Sunday Diversion of Adolph Moltscke Now in Jail, Adolph Moltscke was arrested yesterday at the instance of his brother-in-law, E. C. Schautler, Moltscke lives at Fifth and Hickory and Schautler says that every Sunday regularly he makes it his business to administer a genuine good drubbing to his wire. Yesterday the operation was repeated and Moltscke is in Jail. He said: “Schuutler was at my house and said'something to my wife.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan, 21.—It has finally been decided that the Duval Athletic club will be compelled to turn into cash the check Ref- oree John Kelly holds in trust for the winner of the big fight. Kelly today waited on Jim Corbott at the latter's training quarters at Mayport and had a long talk with the champion, Brady and Delaney. Kelly showed the check he held and remarked he had heard Mitchell had entered a protest against fighting for a pieco of paper which by injunction could be tied up and made unavailable. Kelly stated he did not cave to take part in a transaction which might terminate as Mitchell feared. He had no doubts asto the sincerity of the club in the matter, buv he wanted both principals satisfied before he left for the scene of the contest. He then fatly put to Corbett the question: “Are you satisfied to fight for the purse in its present shape?? The champion thought the matter over for a moment and then answered: “I am satisfled with anything Mr. Mitchell is, If Mitchell wants the eheck converted into cash, as is his privelege, I see 1o reason why it should not be done. . It is not an unreason- able demand, and it will tend to promote confidence in the contest. I shall back up Mutchell if he insists the money be put up,” Must Cash the Check Toduy. Mitchell does insist and there is noth- ing for the club to do but_comply with the demand. Tomorrow night W. A. Brady, representing Corbott, and *'Bat” Masterson, on vehall of Mitchell, will take Kefereo Kelly before the club and make a formal de- mand upon the officials for the cash. The arrangements for the fight are about completed, although the location is being kept within the confines of the club. In order to_bewilder the mind of the “hood- lum,” who is _incidentally gettg hera in strong individual units, the cmmissarios have given out a dozen or more places where the fight might bo held. The guess- ing ones are ut their wits' ends as to the location, “and many and ludicrous are the methods empioyed in order to gev the right place. It has been decided to spirit the principals away with their parties some time Wednesday afternoon. ch will have a special train of a Pullman buffet car and engine, and wili be pulled away toward a common center by circuitous routes. The most plausiblo theory is that the men will be taken to a point north of the ity near a neck of Georgia land, which puts | te a distance between two strips of tlorida territory. The start will be made from this city early in the morning before sunrise in order to give tho fighters as much time us possible in which to effect a finish, Thelr Seconds Nominated. Corbett has consented to go into the ring seconded only by Americans. They will be Jack _Dempsey, Delaney, Donaldson and Brady. Al Smith will be timekeeper. There will be but one American in Mitch- Bat Masterson. The others ywill be Jim Hall and Steve O'Donnell, both of Australia, and Harry Darrin of England. Billy Thomson, who holds the watch, is from Australia. Jimmy Wakely, Teddy Foloy, Tke Plant, Dave Blanchard, jr., and other northern sports have arrived here. An attachment will be served tomorrow on Corbett's personal property at Mayport for §1,000 for alleged damages to the property oceupied by the party. The cottages used for training and sleeping quarters are the property of Judge Gibbons of the municipal court and Claus Meyer of this city. They claim that Corbett occupied the property without the consent of the owner. State's Attorney Hartridge returned from Tallahassee today after a consultation with Governor Mitchell. Hartridge ssid that the governor had left the instruction of Sheriff Broward to Attorney General Lamar and tho state's attorney. ‘T'he attorney general, to- gether with Adjutant General Houston, will arrive in Jacksonville tomorrow or next day. The three heads will then be brought to- gether, and as a result tho sheriff will re- ceive orders. Will Arrest Them Again, Mr, Hartridge said that should the crowd board a train none of the railroad employes would be arrested, but he would say nothing as to whether the principals would be or not. Among several attorneys of this.city the opinion that Governor Mitchell intends an important moveon the morning of the 25th is gaining strength. They have an idea that instead of preventing the fight by means of the militia the governor will order the arrest of Corbett and Mitcnhell on the charge of arranging for a fight, which Attorney Gen- eral Lamar holds Lo come within the law pro- hibiting the arranging for a duel. The men were uarrested several weeks ago ‘qn the same chavge, but County " Solicitor Christie is said to have been acting under instructions from the gov- ernor, refused to introduce evidence and the cuse, which was intended to test the law, fell through, The fact that the charge was not pressod does not, howev prevent the arrest of Corbett and Mitchell again on the sume charge. Should they be arrested on the morning of the 25th it would necessi- tate a postponement of the battie for one day at least, und the men would undoubt- edly be put under heavy bonds to keep the pe until the courts decided the legality of the matter. This would effectually put an ond to the contest. In case it was de- cided that the fighters were within the limits of the law it is not probable that the contest would then take place, as the men would be out of condition and the crowd gone. Mitchell in Bad Humor, A report came up from the Mite ing quarters tonight to the effes {ish champion, during his exercises early in the evening, had sprained and wrenched | hus leg. The club this evening sent a com- missioner to Anastasia island to notify Mitchell that a special car would be in veadimess for him on Wednesday morning. According to the commissioner, when he re- turned, Mitchallwas m a very unpleasant state of mind when he learned \what wa quired of him, Itissaid that he declares lie would not fight under the auspices of such a club, and that he had put up with too many of their bluffs alugady. The com- missioner was then told of the in- juries which «the English champion had sustained. How serious they may be is not lea Al Smith, however, came out tonight with a proposition in which he offered to bet $,000 against 81,000 that sprained ankle or no, Mitcheli would get into the ring with Corbett ‘Thursda The Duval Glub has issued an edict in responso to the assertions which Mitchell is said to have made, in whioh the Kuelishman is served with a formal warniig that the club would claim his forfeit of & .000 if he did not appear at the point indicated 1n the orig- | inal summons Wednesday ut6a. m. Inad- | dition to this, it is authoritatively stated that the referee will award the §,000 side bet to Corbett in that event. Thero is cousidera- ble other mouey which Mitchell would lose if he failed to subject himself to the orders of the Duval glub. Bat's Boom for Charles, S1. Lovis, Jan. 21.—Bat Masterson, the well Ruown Denvor sborting man, in o letter to the St. Louls Post-Dispateh, states that he picks Mitchell for a sure winuer. In his letter he says that in his ovinion litchell has been the victim of most unfairand un- sportsmanlike criticism at the hands of Corbett and his henchmen. [ do not desire to have it understood I am prompted by Mitchell in makiug this | statemont, but I thiok {v high cime | the American public heard the other side of | the story, waich, up to this time, has been | all in the shape of theatrical advertis- | ing. Mitchell is not an actor. He s a figh and I think Corbett will have reason to believe this before wany days have passed. Corbett appears to . think v will do him no ena of good to circulate stories concerving s ell train- that the [rospoctiva opponont which no man of ntelligonce would liston to for n single moment. 1know Corbett perhaps as well as any man in America, and 1 say, without the siightest hesitation, that Corbott is be- ginning to realizo that he is up against it. ana I really think if either man is absent at roll call noxt Thursday it will be the Amori- n champion, If either of the two men is a cur I think thoe finget of scorn will not point to Charles Mitchell.” Masterson then alls the Corbott-Jack- son mill, asserting that Corbett on that o casion showed himself to be an arrant cow- ard. Ho draws a parallel between the heighth, reach, weight and cle tho wo pugs and asserts that the are all in Mitchell's favor. His letter clos thus: Chere is no more clever, nggressive or vicious man in the world than Mitchell. Ho is thoroughly cool-headed and there is no trick of the fighting trade he is not up to."

On reaching the door he unlocke it and was about to go in when he heard a noise inside, and quickly rotreated, suspi- clous ofipossible robbery. Ho went for assist- ance, and on returning to the bank a kit of burgiar’s tools was found in front of the safe and also two sticks of dynamite, A heavy clamp had been placed on the knob of tho safe, and things looked as though the rob- bors were just about to force tho knob oY and insert the dynamite whon the cashier disturbed their plans. ~While Cashier Hamilton was sceking as- sistance a man was seen a short distance from the bank. He was, a fow minutes Iater, joined by two othors, and all threo walked quickly away in the direction of the depot. Mr, Hamilton immediately tele- graphed the police authorities here to watch the bridges for:the three robbers and a guard was placed at this end of both bridges. Early this morning Alonzo Zane, whoso home is in Kansas City, Kan., was arrested as he was crossing the Council Bluffs bridge. He denies all knowledge of the attemvted robbery, but could give no satisfactory ac- count of himself and was locked up.
