Where ho got thom has not yet been de- veloped. The police are working at Manawa yet with a view to ascertaining where more of Ben Marks' property has gone, and Bailey is said by Marks to have been mixed up in the deal. Constable Baker went day night end arrested notorious character, who has already served a term in the penitentlary. A search of his premises revealed a lot of Marks' stolen property concealed there. He disclaimed knowing anything about it, and sald that Rachwitz, who is now in jail, brought it there for safe keeping. He was brought to this city and is now confined in the county Jail.

W. H. Beck, who was formerly one of the town ofi cers, turned over some more silverware to the police yesterday.

Rosser, who made such a gallant fight against Colonel O'Ferrall for the governorship of Virginia, was one of the bravest and most dashing cavalry officers in the confederate service, as handsome as he was brave, and as adept in the art of flirta- tion as he was skilled in the tactics of war. Among his numerous engagements, says the Washington Post, his raid on Beverly, W. Va., has lingered the longest in his memory, not so much because of the raid itself as of its denouement. In the wee sma’ hours of a certain night in January, 1862, a party of union officers were indulging in the pleasures of a ball in the little fown all unware that the dashing Rosser with his cavalry was riding fast upon them. As they entered the town they made stralght for the hall, which was the only lighted building at that time of night, and they went, too, with the din of explod: ing fircarms and the blood-curdling confed. erate vell. General Rosser was riding at the head of his own column, and just bes fore they reached the hall, where consterna. tion reigned cqual to that that Byron tells about in Belgium's capital, he saw a lady and gentleman run across the street in front of his advancing column and disappear in a house, but In the excitement of the cap: ture and the confiscation of such stores as he could take with him they were not pursued. About 9 o'clock that boy brought him a note from Mrs. Blank asking the favor of his company to break- fast. He knew that meant a rebel sympath- izer, s0 he wrole a ourtly acceptance, although he was suffering from a slight wound which he had received during the melee. Mra. Blenk was a lovely white-luired old lady of the southern type, while I daughter—ah!—was simply exquisite 1l captivated without delay the heart of the young cavalryman. Girls were no different then than they are now, and given these ro- mantie surroundings what more natural than a very pronounced flirtation? But the orderlies kept running in for in- structions, and as General Rosser's anno; ance was noticeable the young lady suggeste that they go upstairs to ‘“‘mother’s room and leave the mulatto boy to say that he engaged. Well, the time of his stay wa short; unfon forces were gathering and the confederates must leave that night. Vows of love and undying constancy were ex- changed, and it was with a sadly shattered heart that the 'doughty young general marched away a few hours later. At the close of the war he went to Balti- mare, where he was made superintendent of the water works. One night at the hotel a friend introduced him to Captain Brown, who, on hearing his name, laughed outright, Gen- eral Rosser s at all times a gentleman, and naturally he resented such treatment. He could not look the man but what he caught him smiling at him, and finally he burst out with “Well, sir, may I ask what there is in my appearance to cause your laughter?" “Certainly, general,” was the friendly re. ply. “If you will step away from these gen- tlemen 1 will tell you When they were be “Did you lead a raid on Beverly, in January, 15627" “1 did" “You took breakfast with Mrs. morning, didn't you?" “Yes, ioneral Rosser's astonished reply, for he could not place the man before bim “Well, didn't you go up into ‘mother's room' with Miss Blank, and didn't you make rate love to her did, but how in thunder do you happen to know all about {t?" 0, I was under the bed.” He was the officer who had crossed the street with Miss Blank, and, after seeing her to a place of safety, found his own escape cut off unknown to the family, he r turned to the house, and by a rear entrance gained her mother's room and hid under the bed, where he staid until the union reinforce- ments calue, morning a mulatto ond earshot he asked: W.

IN OMAHA'S FIERCEST FIGHT ANNALS Each Man Sought to Win by Pounding the Other- Victor Little to Crow Over the Vietim Beats Ryan, Cause Me Tus of the hardiest, bloodlest and most viclous slugging matches that ever took plate in s balliwlck was that last ght at a southwestern roadhouse between Henry Oleson and George Ford. The fight at catch welghts for a stake of $50 and the g celpts, and witnessed by a cholce coterie of red hots. The delay in selecting a referee was ex- perienced, and active preparations for the fray did not begin until nearly 11 o'clock. It looked for a while as if there would be no fight, as a suitable man to fill the posi- tion of adjudicator could not be found, until fina Jack Harris consented to essay the onerous task. Jack had an ornamental jag on and the fArst remark he made was, that if the men e agteeable, he would give the fight to the n 1 who won, if not he would let them #o on and fight it ont. This, of course, elicited a storm of enthusiastic cheers. Olsen, in black tights and gaiters, stepped into the ring at a quarter to 1l He Is a big, bulky, determined looking fellow and balanced the scales at 169 pounds. He was quickly followed by Ford, a tall slender, adaverous youth, who looked as if he was | of tuberculosis, but who proved himselt to be one of the gamest af the game. Ford weighed 153 Bob Me.

Both men sprang from their corners like a couple of bull terriers, Olsen barely escap- ing a wicked right swing from the osseous Mr. Ford. Then it smash, bang until the entire th ad_expired There was no sparing for wind, no manouver- ing for rest, no attempt at defense. It was simply who could hit the hardest and the oftenest, and this proved to be the bulky Norweglan. He had decidedly the best of the slugaing, and it looked as if the journey was almost over. In the second, greatly refreshed, left in the gone through with, and resumed their corners, however, Ford came ont ud catching Ole a crack- ¥ hie came in on one of bull-like rushes he scored an opportunity e was not slow in taking advantage Again he virited the damaged l\]flw then there w clinch, and Mr. had to use a crowbar to break them awa When he did get them apart the claret was gushing In copious gobs from Ford's pro- boscls, while Ol n toted ba to his corner a lump over his right eye big enough to hang your hat on. Just befora the expiration of the three minutes a right-hand swing in the ribs put Ford on his beam ends. He was up like a cat, however, and it was ham- mer and tongs until time was ealled. The third was a furious slugging mateh, in which Ford was badly punished. The Norweglan kept driving his big right mauley into the slim boy's kidneys and breadbasket until he had him in a sadly weakened con dition. The fourth was a repetition of the third. It was a mauling match of the most approved style, both men being literally besmeared with the ruby and both unsteady on their pins. Again, however, it w: all in favor of the man from the land where the sun refuses to sect. FORD'S FIRST KNOCKDOWN. It was smash for smash, and punch for punch In the first part of the fifth, and at divers stages it looked as if one or the other of the gory combatants must succumb. Both were game, however, to the degree of heroism, and it seemed that nothing but a knock-out smash could settle the thing. Ford got in his work for a clean knock- down, and when time was called it was a tossup who had the best of it. The sixth was Ford's round by a large ma- joyrity, and had he been properly handled and cotched should certainly have won. He met the big hyperborean in every one of his mad rushes with a stralght jab with his left. The Injured eyc shut up completely and the ruby trickled by the pint from his pulpy nostrils, and finally a clever swing caught lim in the neck and he went down on his face like a hod of brick. He wanted to quit, but the derisive cries of his second spurred himon, and he continued feebly until time called. The seventh and last was another lolla- pocoloea, Ole recuperated wonderfully, and coming out as strong as a_rhinoserous, he hammered Ford all over the arena. Once he smashed him in the mouth and the back his head collided with one of the posts like the report of a point torpedo. This lick did the work. Ford was groggy and unable to protect himself. He ran staggering about the ring until finally he was beaten over the ropes in his own corner, and called out that he had enough. Harris then counted ten and gave the fight to the pufiing and bleeding Olsen. It was a_ great kind, and the victor to grow. THEY MET OU for the reason however, but little fight ha O y McCoy and Jack Ryan Settle Their cientific Contest in Old Fashioned Style, CRESTON, Ta., March 11.—(Spacial gram to The Bee)—The train bearing the pugilists and spectators to the Ryan-McCoy fight arrived at the point of destination about 3 o'clock this morning, when arrangements completed, and the principals entered the ring. The fight lastad for twelve rounds and was finished at 4 o'clock. W. J Thompson of Davenport was selected . as referee, F. H. Adams of St. Louis as time keeper and T. Welch and Bud Hennesey seconds respectively for McCoy and Ryan, Ryan was first to appear in the ring and e showed up in excellent form. There was con- siderable delay before McCoy appearcd, evd when he did he looked much smaller than his opponent and hardly in as good form. The battle was under the Marquis of Quesnsbury rules. Referee Thompson introduced the pugilists in a neat little spoech, in which he said that he wanted it understood that this was a “scientific contest' for points and not a prize fight. Ryan weighed 153 pounds, while McCoy weighed but 142, Round 1—Hardly had the two men shook hands before Ryan led viclously with his right, but fell short, McCoy cleverly dodg rom this on to the finish of the fight I assumed the aggressive, continually rushing and driving McCoy around the ring. Ie reached the latter several times with terrific body blows, while the latter only landed once, Ryan had much the best of It when time was called. Round 2—Both sparred for an opening and hardly a blow was landed, Round 3—A hard body blow sent McCoy to the ground. Ryan committed a palpable foul in this round, hitting McCoy while the latter was on his kuees from a blow recelved in the side. After McCoy gained his feet, Ryan followed up his advantage ani delivered a terrible uppercut blow that would have put McCoy to sleep had it landed right, but the latter avoided the force of the blow by ducking. Time was called In this round with the odds deeidedly in Ryan's favor.

After short infighting the men clinchied, and when they sparated McCoy delivered a stunning right-hander full in Ryan's optic, sending him to the ground, and e followed this when Ryan got on his feet with a body blow in the wind that doubled Ryan up like a Jack knife. Round 0—Ryan made a last effort to forc the fight, but it was a feeble one. MeCoy began to show surprising ability, and he des livered a sledge hammer blow full in the chest that brought Ryan to the ground, where he lay fully nine seconds, and he was clearly a whipped man when he got up. Round 10—Ryan Wwas groggy when he stepped to the center, and although he still fought like a bulldog, it was of no avail, for McCoy had him at his mercy., The latter pushed Ryan away from him instead of striking him in this round, and refused to take advantage of him in this condition A light blow sent Ryan to the grass, and just as he got to his feet time was called Round 11—Twice in this round Ryan was knocked down and would have been out by fully five seconds but for a mistake of the timekeeper. Round 12—The first blow delivered by Me. Coy in this round was a knock-out one. It was an uppercut full on point of jaw and Ryan had to be assisted to his feet after he wis counted out. he fight took place in an open fleld at a point on the line between Adams and Union counties and it will probably be difficult to cstablish in court the county in which -it urred.

NTAYS Mo IN OMATIA, Kanas City Fighting Dogo Flunks Session on the Ixkand, About 100 of the deadest kind of dead game sports assembled at the Island yester- day afternoon to see a dog fight. The pit was pitched in a rickety farm shanty, with ampitheatrical seats erected about the en- closure. Every seat was occupied, while & number of enthusiasts perched in the rafters. The fight was a “turn and scrateh” fight, American rules, for $100 a side and the en- tire gate receipts, which amounted to about as much more. The purps were Jack Allington’s “Five Cents,” a white and brindle 34-pounder from Kansas City, and Tailor Roche's white dog Crib, who tipped the scale a couple of pounds to the good. The cowboy dog was supposed to be a crackerjack, but the soj boys were true to Roene's canine and backed him liberally withytheir stuff. Referce Jack Darlingptook his position in the pit and ordered therbrutés washed. This accomplished, the handlers tossed for corners, and the battlesbegan a moment later. The brindle was & great hustler and he went right after the white, and for a period of four or five minutes wallowed him all over the ring. The military purp, how- ever, was game und togk his medicine in a way' t augured well for his chances should the fight prove a prolonged one. After the first five minutes he began to push mat- ters himself,” and from. this on to the first “turn,” made by the briadle after eighteen minutes' chewing, he had all the best of it. At this juncture the dows were handled, but on the referee’s comm. A to cut them lose again, the Kansas City "% refused to budge, in fact, showed a disposition to fly the pit, and amidst the cheers of the Rocie follow- ers, Darling awarded the fight to the white dog. e A NEW JOKE ON AN OLD HOST. in a A List of Awards in the Steward's Purzle Contest.

The lirst announcement was to the effect that the Independence man would go to Des Moines nd take charge of the kite track, but in few days that was refuted; then he w 8O- ing to Galesburg, I1L.; then it was Roc rd; then Elgin got her share of vertising out of the matter, and now it is Indianapolis that hos a cinch on the man of inflated values. Rockford, Elgin and Gales ¥ aid cach offer Williams a nice bonus if he would but give them his presence, but he valued ui individuality too high, and they mourn be cause they have him not. Still, it is yet possible that Galesburg will secure the only Wiiliams, for it seems that negotiations ¢ still going on with that ci pending which the Indianapolis people will liave to wait, and the latter city may even yet be doomed to appointment. Galesburg offered Williams ,000 in cash and the use of a fully equipped would move there. He went to jalesburg and looked the ground over, after which he said that he would let them know his intentions at an early date. Later he submitted a proposition which is open until March 10, and is in substance as follows: The citizens of Galesburg to purchase the 160-acre farm and present Williams with $30,000 in cash. In return he is to transform the farm Into a mile track, fully equipped for racing, and at the expiration of five years he is to purchase the farm at $150 per acre. If he fails to comply with the terms of the contract, the farm, at the expiration of five years, is to revert to the citizens of Gales- burg and the $30,000 is to pay Williams for giving them the pleasure of his company for that term. The proposition is decidedly like Williams and would be recognized If it did not bear his signature According to statistics decrease of over 125,000 horses in the United State: HAWARDEN'S MEETI} Hawarden, Ta., will offer $5,000 in pursea at its coming July mecting. The first raco meeting ever held at Havarden was in July last and it was one of the most successful meetings in the west.

This is one of the greatest farms in the state and on it are some of the greatest brood mares owned in America. Ontonfan will liere be given a greater opportunity to be- come a sire of speed than he ever could in his Nebraska home, and it is no bad guess that ke will not be a disappointment to his new owner.

Vaswater, sister to Ed Rosewater, 2:16%, will be raced this year in the hands of J. F. Payne. The dates for the Montana circuit have been fixed as follo Great Falls, July 2 to 7; Anaconda, July 12 to 28; Butte, August, 10 to 23; Helena, August 25 to September 1; Bozeman, September 3 to 8. Armilda, bay mare, by Baron Wilkes, prop- erty of C. T. Donovan, Maitland, Mo., sold at_the Cleveland sale for $800. Holton, Kan., is out with ment of stakes for its August meeting. The meeting is given by that excellent reinsman, C. B. McDonald, Twenty-one stakes are offered and they include all the desircble , and are for $500 each. The plan of payment of entries is a novel one and should certainly be popular. In most of the races the entrance is only 2 per cent, with § per cent additional from winners. The Wisconsin circuit, comprising seven towns, hangs up $100,000 in guaraateed purses and stakes. SELLING It scems to me that y that should stiffen the backbones of some of the “weak sisters” that are sotting rid of their troiting stock at ruinous prices, it would be the fact that the represen breeders of the country are the ones are doing the buylng. ~There has not a sale during the past year where the cream of the animals offered have not gone to the prominent breeding farms. When the scare blows over and the seller becor 5 that he is alive he will find that he is left o “hold the sack” while his neighbor has profited by his temerity. A little nerve and a little wisdom are mighty good things in_times like these. There will be several millions of dollars hung up to race for this year, and, notwith- stunding the prophesies of the wiseacres, it will exceed by several millions the amount offered last season There will be several trotters out from Ne- ska this season that will beat 2:10 before the season ends, and three of them, in my opinion, will be The Conqueror, Mercurius and Robbie P, Last year was a great record breaking one among the trotters and pacers, but great it was, this year will cclipse it. Because your horse cannot trot a mile in , don’'t think he cannot be a good money winner. Some of the best money win ners of last year did not beat 2:20. Use good Judgment in making your enteries and you ure all right A visit to Wayne and Norfolk last week disclosed the fact that these two Nebraska cities are teeming with lively interest in the trotting horse business. Wayne, especlally, is allve to the fact that this s the season in the year when interest in the greatest of the animal family should commence to revive. The Wayne Stock farm, located there, is one of the growing and prosperous farms of th state, and it has at its head one of the best bred and fastest sons of Happy Medium Union Medium, 2:18%, This horse deserves to be much more prominent than he Is, He 18 a great individual and a fast one, and his colts are all of them strongly built, natural trotters and decidedly game King X Burope.
