i ESTABLISHED JUNE 19, 1871. THE OMAH DAILY BEE. — S ——— 4 OMAHA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 23, 1895. MILITIA SHOT A BOY ‘Was One of a Crowd of Strikers Burround- ing the Halsey Btreet Station, ANOTHER PERSON SHOT IN THE ARM Bmall Distarbances Thronghout the Uity During the Day. SOLDIERS GIVEN ORDERS TO SHOOT Instructed to Reply with a Volley When They Are Assaulted, WINDOWS AND RIOFS ORDERED CLEARED Linemen Strike, Go Back to Work and Are Ordered Out Agiin—Raid on a K. of L. Hall Assigned as & Reason, BROOKLYN, Jan. 22.—The first fatal en- counter of the great strike took place about 11 o'clock tonight, when, in an encounter with a few boys at the Halsey street sta- tion of the Brooklyn City Railway company, a volley was fired by the militia. Henry Annes of New York City was fatally shot, a musket ball entering his mouth and pas ing through his head. Another man, whose name s Willlams, was wounded in the arms. The shooting had the instant effect of dispersing the mob. The ninth day of the tieup has clc without bringing any material change in the situation. It has been a day of alarming rumors, which, fortunately, had slight or no foundation. There were between daybreak and uightfall numerous brushes batween the police and militia on one side and the strikers or headstrong law-defying sympa- thizers on the other. The linemen's strike, which was to have tied up the trolley lines more effectively than had been done by the striko of motormen, conductors and other employes, was called off before it was fairly on, and later in the day the mandate of Master Workman Connoly was premulgated, calling upon the linemen to abanden their situations tomorrow morning. What infliienced the strike manager to call the linemen’s strike off thus quickly and then to order one again tomcrrow cannot now be told. The reason assigned for the latter act is palpably but a pretext. The effect of this move, which the strikers have compared to the playing of a high trump card, remains to be demonstrated. The de- velopments of the day have not been reas- suring as a whole. In spite of the fact that there are under arms in the city 8,000 state soldiery and 1,500 pollce are on duty, in- tramural traffic is suffering a virtual pa- ralysis, in_which all the industries of the city participate to a greater or lesser de- gree, lawlessness is rampant, and altogether conditions are such as may excite the gravest apprehiension. Disorderly elements in _the city have been largely recruited from New York and other cities, and, as is usual in such cases, arrayed itself with the strikers, a selfish advocacy of whose cause affords a pretext fer the perpetration of graver crimes then have yet marked the progress of the pending contest. THIRD BRIGADE READY. Adjutant General McAlpine, who is here as tie military and personal representative of Governor Morton, had a conference late in the afternoon with Mayor Schieren, Police Commissioner Wells and” Corporation Coun- el McDonald, The adjutant general offercd to call the Third brigade, New York, S. N. G., to effect the restoration of order. H was assured by the mayor that at present there s no occasion for calling out more troops. General McAlpine promised tc have the Third brigade ready to come to Brook- Iyn on a few hours' notice should its pres ence there be required. Master Workman Connely has ordered the linemen out tonight, He says that this ac- tion has been necessitated by the action of the soldiers at 4 o'clock this afternoon, when a company of the Seventh regiment sur- rounded the hall at the corner of Myrtle avenue and Palmetto street. A squad en- tered the hall, seized the books and papers of the local assembly, which has its head- quarters there. Mr. 'Connely reports the troops have been withdrawn, and the police have been put in charge of the hall. Mas- ter Workman Cannely says this is the rea- son for the strike of the linemen. He says he was the one who sent the linemen back _today after they had struck. He has now Feountermanded " the order. Mr. Connely _.thinks the men in charge of the assembly *hall have been arrested by tlie police. {H ¢ There were many rumors flying around L g Ridgewood all day, but no really exciting ncidents until affer 3 o'clock in the after- oon, when cars were started on the Gates venue line. Two shots were fired, one by a policeman and another by a national guardsman, (0 enforce the orzer lssued by the police authorities to keep every window closed aiong the line of the road. But one missile was thrown at (he first car, a plece of fire brick, from the inside’ of a store, which smashed a window, but did not in- Jure any of the occupants of the car, With the exception of the pickets, militla were drafted .into the depot, and quiet was maintained, a mass weeting at the Labor lyceum, on Willoughby avenue, at 8 o'clock drawing off all the strikers from the neighborhood occupied by tne police and the militia, The work of the linemen was finished at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The construction wagon, labelled on both sides, “IK, of L." reached the Ridgewood depot a few min- utes after, so at :10 p. m. “Assembly” was sounded, and the three companies of the Seventh regiment, B, D and G, under com- mand of Major Abrahams, marched out, and occupled &l the streets branching out from the junciion of Myrtle avenue, Wyckoff av- enue and Palmetto street, A TRUCK DRIVERS ARRESTED, As tie first company marched out a truck Jaden with new men, accompanied by four officers, dashed up, and as it was unladen the driver was tuken into custody for caus- ing a fatal accident on Gates avenue near Bushwick avenu To avold any possible aitack he had driven at a furious pace, and, overtaking a light wagon at the place stated, dashed int it, throwing the occupant out into the street and fracturing his skull The Injurcd man was taken to St. Joseph's hospital and the driver of the truck to the Evergreen avenus police station. The next incldent was a startling one. Car 524 of the line which had started yes- terday arrived from down town with thirty men on bard, Se'geant Sheldon with four patrolmen carrying drawn pistels were on the front platform. Captain Kitzer and four men made a similar display on the rear, When the car stopped the captain noticed four or five men on the elevated railioad track. Polnting Lis revolver at them he - shouted, “Come, get off there, quick; we are through monkeying; get oft quick cr we'll show you we wean business.” The militia aiso ordered them away, and one was allowed on the structure. The plat- form and stalrs wero also cleared. As the #econd company of the Second reglment swung around into Paimetto strect the great crowd of strikers in front of thelr head- quarters, “0dd Fellows hall,” scarcely half & block away, suddenly wmelted, a large num- ber running around into Irving avenue, but about 200 crowded Into the hall. 7Then, at a slgual, the line of men In blue stretched sores the street, advanced at a double the the line with two conductors, two motermen, two policemen and three reporters on board. WINDOWS ALL SHUT. Just as the start was made a member of the Seventh regiment noticed several persons at an open window In the second story of the hotel onposite the depot and ordered It closed. The order was not Instantly obeyed, so he fired a shot in the air, and the window was not only closed, but all the faces disappeared. During the passage of the car down the ave- nue there was considerable jeering, but one shot from a policeman’s revolver fired in the air closed up the open windows and only one missile was fired at the first car, and none at the others as they proceeded on what at first promised to be a perilous journey. The following order has been issued by perintendent Campbell: OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, BROOKLYN, Jan, Ordered that any officer who suffers, without resistance to the best of his ability, any motorman, con- ductor or any employe of any railroad com- pany to be taken from the car or to be other- wise assaulted, or fails to promptly any person =0 assaulting or attempting to assault any such motorman, conductor or any employe, or who fails promptly to arre any person who puts or attempis to put any obstruction on the track or otherwise to in- terfere with, or attempt to interfere with, the free operation of the railrond by cutting trol- ley ropes, will, on proof belng produced be- fore the commissioner, be at once dismissed from the force. By order of the commis- sloner. P. CAMPBELL, Superintendent, During the afternoon and evening there oc- curred no less than seven collisions of trolley ars with wagons, trucks or other vehicles. aster Workman Connely returned to the trikers' headquarters after an absence of half an hour and again announced that the line men should go out again. He refused to explain about the order, but when asked what would be done with the line men who refused to go out, he replied they would simply be out- side of tho pale of honorable workingmen This move was precipitated by the alleged ction of the militia, when, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, a company of the Seventh regiment surrounded a hall at Myrtle and Palmetto streets, which was entered by the soldiers, who seized all books and papers of the local assembly who occupied the place as a meet- ing room. The militia was finally withdrawn and the police took possession of the hall. Both the militia and the police deny this. BRUSH WITH STRIKERS. About 3 o'clock this afterncon a mob at Fulton street and Buffalo avenue made an attack on a Fulton street car. An effort was made to force the conductor and motorman from the car. Captain Dwyer with a platoon of patrolmen attempted to disperse the mob, which resisted and threw stones and other missiles at the officers. Fifteen men from troop A, under command of Lieutenant Bagley, came to the assistance of the police, and the strikers were dis- persed. Two prisoners were captured and taken on a trolley car to the Twelfth pre- cinet station house. Cars on the Broadway line were stopped on account of the cufting of wires at Rock- away avenue. A large crowd is congregat- ing there. Captain Gorman and a wagon- load of policemen have gone to the scene of the trouble. A brush between policemen and strikers' sympathizers took place at Green avenue and Broadway, where a small party of the latter attacked a Queens County & Suburban car. Mounted police drove the disturbers away, but made no arrests. Obstructions wera placed on the Broadway line near Chauncey street, but the police cleared them away. A number of logs were laid across the track on Sutton street near Buffalo avenue at about the same time. Captaln Gorman with a number of men went down there on a hurry call and the policemen cleared the track. While the cars were at a standstill Henry Schlipp, a sympathizer with the strikers, jumped on top of one of the cars and attemped to break the trolley pole. He was arrested. A policeman named Falvey was struck on the head with a brick in this disturbance. Only two cars are in motion on the Bowen street line Ten were belng run earlier in the day. There is a new scheme on foot to further cripple the road. The strikers assert the mnewly employed motormen and conductors are held close prisoners against their will. Thirty-nine men, it is repre- sented, are held at the Ridgewood depot, The leaders of the strikers are sald to have se- cured the names of these men and will ap- ply to the courts for writs of habeas corpus and have them released. The executive board of the strikers an- nounces this afternoon that, the linemen's strike is oft. The reason for the hitch is not known, but Master Workman Cornoly told the men to continue at their work. STRIKE OF THE LINEMEN. In pursuance with an agreement arrived at yesterday afternoon between the linemen that they would refuse to execute any re- pairs on’the roads still tied up, twelve men struck work at 7:45 this morning. They were sent with a repalr wagon to replace wires which had been cut during the night between Gates and Knickerbocker avenues. Upon reaching the spot where the wires were down the men refused point blank to have anything to do with repairing them and left the wagon. The wagon was taken back to the depot by the motorman and conductor. M no | quick past the wall doors, which were at | once closed and locked by the police, and the men wero like rats in a trap, secured until all the cars were sent out and brought back to the t in & space of & little over two hours. When the troops reported ‘“all Peady." car 624, whick had been brought W vlu_w 3 stated, was staried down A squad of policemen and some disturbers were in conflict this morning. When the men were ordered to clear away from the corner of Hamilton avenue and Court street they refused to do so. One of the men threw an egg at a policeman. The blue coats thereupon charged the mob and clubbed every one in sight. Twenty of the crowd left “the meighborhood with™ badly bruised heads. Edward Hayes and W. D. Bray, tin roofers, at work on a building on Seventh avenue, be- tween Iirst and Second streets, threw bricks at a passing trolley car. They were arrested. The Brooklyn, Qeens County & Suburban company was running cars on the Broadway, Sumner avenue and Ralph avenue lines, the latter lines having been put in operation this morning. The Brooklyn City has cars moving on the Fulton street, Court street, Halsey street and the Flatbush avenue lines. On all these lines the number of cars in operation is the same as yesterday, The wires extending from Central to Knick- erbocker avenues on Gates avenus have been cut. A squad of men sent to repair the wires attempted to do so, but they were attacked by the mob. The militia drove the mob away, but the linemen refused tu go back to work, fearing another attack, O Smre—— DILLON FILLS HIN ANSWER, cipts for the O, R. ot ¥ quitable, PORTLAND, Ore, Jan, 22.—John ¥, Dil- lon, trustee of the first mortgage on the Oregon Short Line, today filed his answer to the complaint of the Farmars' Loan and Trust company, under which Mr, MeNeill Wi appointed receiver of the Orcgon Rail- way and Navigation company. Dillon holds as trustee the (st mortgage on the line from Granger to Huntington, securing out- standing bonds amounting 1o $14,931,000.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 22.—The national con- vention of manufacturers effectod tempo- rary organization teday, with Thomas P, Igan as chairman and B, P. Wilson as secretary, Addresses were made Ly Gov- ernor MeKinley und Mayor Caldwell, when ention” proceeded to business. The forenoon was spent discussing plans for permanent organization and the appoint- ment of committees. The attendance is 5o much lurger than was anticipated that the Odd Fellows' wuditorium, which hs been very elaborately decorated for the occa- sion, was soon crowded, The register of legates shows over 1000 visiting manu- fucturcrs present on the first day, A recess Was tuken for sittings of commitices, arrest | LE COry FIVE CENT ENUMERATING THE SPOILS Japanese Governmont Publishes a List of Oaptured War Material, FOCD AND CLOTHING OF THE JAP SOLDIERS Extra Heavy Wearing Apparel Provided for the Present Service—Another As- sembling Presumably to At- tack Wol-Hal-Wel, TOKIO, Jan. 8.—(Per Steamer Peru, via San Francisco, Jan, 22.)—The only changes in the diplomatic situation since last advices is the announcement that Chang Yang Hwan, China's accredited agent, is actually on his way to Japan, accompanied by a eub ordinate representative named Shao Yu Lien. The senior messenger Is belleved to be well chosen, on account of his experience with western nations, which has undoubtedly re- lieved him of some of the overwhelming con- ceit fn which the majority of home-keeplng Chinese are steeped. He has been minister to the United States, Spain and Peru, and may be supposed to falrly understand the responsibilities of his new position. Shao Yu Lien is also better fitted for practical polities than men of his class, having served for a while as charge d'affaires at St. Peters« burg. He is now at Shanghai, awaiting his chief, who is reported to have started from Peking a week ago. If it is found that these envoys are authorized to negotlate seriously, some pregeess may be made toward defining the terms of peace, but no amount of official reserve on the part of the Japanese author- ities can conceal the fact that they expect very little from the first meeting. The capture of Wel-Hai-Wel is now re- garded as a foregone conclusion, but it may, however, again alter tho aspect of affairs. Ohinese dignitaries move slowly in their own country, and it is anticipated that Japan will have occupied the naval station near Cheefoo before the suitors for peace are ready to leave their own country. The present intention fs that the conferences shall be held at Hiroshima. The fact that Mr. Foster will accompany the Chinese envoys In the capacity of legal adviser does mot change the opinion of the Japanese with re- spect to the sincerity of China’s intention. The rulers of the middle kingdom are as capable of deceiving thelr friends as their enemies, if they think it expedient, and it Is no more certain that they will fully trust thelr employes than it was in Gordon’s time. The presence of Mr. Foster cannot be taken as a positive guarantee of earnestness on the Chinese side. SPOILS OF THE WAR. An officlal statement of the valuable spoils thus far taken from the Chinese has been published by the Japanese government. From this it appears that 607 large guns have changed ownership. The estimated value of these is 2,000,000 yen. The number of small arms is 7,400, worth 30,000 yen; ammunition for large guns, 2,600,000 rounds, worth 3,000,000 yen; ammunition for small arms, 77,000,000 rounds; three ships of war, one medium and two small, are rated at 1,000,000 yen. Most important of all are the arsenals, foundries and machinery of every description secured at Port Arthur and Tallen. What the value of these will be to their possessors cannot yet be calculated. From a recent report of Japanese Sur- geon General Isigaro, the amount and qual- ity of food and clothing supplied to the army Is ascertained. The usual winter clothing consists of the regulation jacket, trousers, cap, shoes and overcoat, with cot- ton flannel undershirt and drawers, woolen socks and breast cloth, and one blanket. The additions for the present service are a thick fur head covering, a fur overcoat, with double-lined neck plece, an extra flannel un- dershirt, extra woolen merino drawers, and long stockings, and an extra blanket, gloves made of thick blanketing, a stock of paper underwear, and a large fur skin, which may be used on_certain duties, as well as for coverings. For the coolies no provisions for clothing were originally made, their pay be- Ing ten times as much as the soldlers’ and considered sufficient for all necessities, but In view of the increasing cold they have been allowed each a flannel shirt, lined coat and trousers, a cotton padded overcoat, a thick flannel bead covering, cotton flannel undershirt and drawers, thick socks and a blanket. That the coolies suffer more than the troops is largely due to their improvident habits.They often gamble away their clothes, and, not being subject to the rigid dis- cipline of the army, cannot be made to regu- late their food and’ drink properly. RATIONS FOR THE SOLDIERS, The supply of food for the soldiers is very simple, ~ Rice is the basis. The quantity, however, is ample. A quart and a half of cleaned rice per day to each man, one-third of a pound of vegetables is added, with con- diments in the form of salted plums, ete. On rapid and prolonged marches, when rice cannot be prepared in the accustomed way, the troops are perfectly contented to live on gruel mada of rice and Indian corn., The commissariat is greatly improved after every victory over the Chinese, for large stores of beef and pork are invariably captured. The surgzon general has observed that when on the march and expectant of battle the armies are cheerfully satisfled with anything that will sustain life. It is only when kept in- active for a long time that their appetites are more exacting. The directors of the hospitals in the fleld state the wounded almost invariably protest against the use of bandages made by the empress and empress dowager at Toklo and beg that they be hung near the pillows in- stead. The gratification which these marks of imperial remembrance and favor excite is often thought to stimulate the progress of the invalids towards recovery. The Japanese Prince Imperial Yoshibito, now in his 16th year, Is gazetted a captain of infantry. The Japanese troops in the Lio Tung peninsula_are actively preparing for an im- portant expedition. and it is assumed on all sides that Wei-Hai-Wei will be the object of attack, The military force gathered for this purpose is of about the same strength as that which conquered Talien and Port Arthur, It consists of the first division, known as the Sendai division. Reports from Wei-Hal-Wel state that not less than 18,000 Chinese are posted in or near the fortifica- tions, FOREIGNERS PLANNING THE DEFENSE. Two forelguers, an Englishinan and a Ger- man, whose names are not published, are said to be superintending the defensive opera- tlons, Tho fleet in the harbor has been in- creased and it is belleved that thirteen ships of war and fifteen torpedo boats are anchored there, at least one-half of the ves- sels are of small size. Licutenant General Nosu has left Kiulin and is on his way to take personal command of the Japanese forces at and near Haicheng. On January 4 he had reached Sui-Yen, from which place e telegraphed that the Chinese general, Sung, had reorganized his defeated army and was cautiously returning in the direction of Hal-Cheng. Rumors of movements by Lieutenant General Katsura are in circula- tion, but there Is every reason for belleving that he remains in Hal-Cheng awaiting Nosu's arrival. Von Henneken's scheme for reorganizing the Chinese army and providing at short notice u trustworthy force for the defense of Peking has been set aside, by the order of * Tsung-li-Yamen. The reason publicly glven for abandoning it is the alleged de- pletion of the treasury. Apart from this, it is known (bat great discontent was elicited in+ high military quarters by a proposition to confer the chief command on a foreigner, and that threats of opposition were growing %0 loud as to throw the court into a furore. Heuce, the clange. A slight disturbance occurred at Foochow last month when an_attempt was made to bury the remains of Captain Fong, beheaded for ‘cowardice at the single naval battle of the war, with the ceremonies appropriate to the rank he had held. Fong was the officer who took his ship out of action before the fight had fairly begun, and whs decapitated without trial at_Port Afthury by order of Admiral Ting. The funeral ssfon_was stoned and dispersed by rlotegw, who slezed the coffin and would nave reated the corpse but for the opportune arrival of a strong guard on the scene. interment was subsequently effected by ‘night, and in strict privacy. A few days later a eimilar uprieing in the same ity was caused by the announcement that Commodore Liu, late commander of the Chen-Yuen, would be en- tombed with naval honérs. Liu had com- mitted suicide immediately after the dis- abling of his ship at Wal-Hai-Wel, and it was popularly belleved that he had inten- tionally run her on a rock, known to ever navigator and easily avoided. Though for- merly idolized by his townsmen of Foochow, his remains were followed to the grave by a_ shricking mob, and would have suffered the worst indignities if the local oficials, warned by the tumult at Fong's obsequies, had not taken due precautions against cx- treme violence. SENSATIONAL IMPERIAL RESCRIPT. Foreign newspapers at Shanghal contain translations of an alleged imperial rescript, so extraordinary in its character that its authenticity Is scarcely eredited, altl ough it appears to have been given to the pub- lic through the usual channels. Its tone and purport may be judged from the follow. ing extract: “The Japanese have gained vic- tory after victory, and despoiled cur terri- tory, until our august ancestors in their sacred graves are disturbed. This is be- cause we, who rule the emplre, are un- worthy and deficient in virtue and have en- trusted the defense of the sta‘e to unfit ser- vants. 1f, however, it I8 our destiny to suffer the worst evils, and o witness the defilemert and destruction of the revered altars, there remains nothing for us but to perish with them. When that time comes may you (Wen, Litsao and ‘Wenshih) rever- ently lead the empress dowdger to safety in the west, and provide for a worthy succes- sion to the throne which we shall no longer fill. Then may the sacred shrines of our ancestors be purified and the disgrace of the nation wiped away.” 1t s rumored that this edict was privately circulated in the palace at the beginning of December last, and has become known to the outer world through treachery. But, the genuiness of so remarkable a document needs further attestation. The ransoms pald for the release of Mme. Chaillet and her daughter from Chinese pi- rates were about $90,000, MEXICAN M HODISTS MEET, Conference Presided Over by Bishop Isanc W. Joyce of Chattanooga. CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 22.—The thir- teenth annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal missions of Mexico has come to a close. The conference was presided over by Bishop Isaac W.

ATHENS, Jan 22.—The entire Greek min- istry has resigned. A panic of the bourse followed the announcement, It is believed that a colorless cabinet will be formed, and that the chamber will be dissolved. It is sald that the resignation of the Tricoupis ministry was the outcome of an audience which the premier had with the king, and in which the former made representations to his majesty with reference to the interference of the crown prince in the demonstration on Sunday last. The king Is said to have re- sented the remarks of the premier. BOURGEOIS WILL TRY AGAIN, Make an Effort to Form n with the Ald of the Left. PARIS, Jan. 22.—After an_ interview with M.

ANOTHER PRISONER BROUGHT IN. Special Deputy McEvony came in at noon with Fred Harris, the fourth prisoner now under arrest. Huarris Is a short, thick set farmer, with a full beard and a noticeable hablt of not looking any one squarely in the eye. He smoked furiously at a corn cob pipe and concealed his face as much as possible by pulling down his cap to meet his turned up coat collar. Soon after nis arrival he was taken in to sce Scott’s body. He stopped smoking as he was placed in front of the ghastly spectacle and pulled his cap stiit further over his face. He never lifted his eyes, but the corners of nis mouth twitched perceptibly, and in a few seconds he quickly turned away and walked out of the morgue. He was then taken before Judge McCutchin, where his examination was set for next Tucsday and he was committed to jail, Photographs were taken this morning of Scott’s body in different positions and these will be used at the trial. Snap ehots were also taken of the prisoners as they sat at dinner. Harris jumped clear out of his seat when the kodak elicked and tremulously in quired: *“What are they trying to do to me?" The interview with Representative Robert- son at Lincoln was read with much indgnant comment at O'Neill today. That Robertson should presume to represent the sentiments here is regarded as misleading. He has been designated as one of the members of the vigilance' organization, and -~ John Hopkins, who, according to Mulllhan's confession, i the president of the so-called Protective as- soclation, &ald this morning in the presence of several witnesses that Robertson was a member of that organization. NO MORE LYNCHING EXPECTED, There is much less evidence of prospective trouble here now than there was Sunday. It is coming to be generally believed that Attor- ney Uttley has evidence in his possession that will be sufiicient to convict the assassins of Barrett Scott, and this feeling has done much to appease the popular sentiment of vengeance. Two days ago it was the general belief that there would be a demonstration of some sort before the week was over, but now it is expected that the law will be al- lowed to take its course, Attorney General Churchill has arrived from Lincoln. He is accompanied by a stenographer and is spending the day In col- lecting the statements of some of the main witnesses and other data in regard to the murder, Mr. Churchill had no explanation to make of his presence here other than that he was “just looking around” and might go back fomorrow. It is understood that one of the principal objects of his visit is to ascertain whether there Is any possibility that the services of the, militia may be re- quired to prevent violence toward the pris- oners, It is now thought that all danger of such a demonstration Is over for the present. 22.—(Speclal Tele- and Mose Elliott before Judge M- O'NEILL CROWDED WITH FARMERS, Hundreds Throng tho Straots and Add to the General Excitement There. O'NEILL, Neb., Jan. 22.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The intense interest that is felt all through this section of the state in the Bar- rett Scott case was more than ever in evi- dence this afternoon. Never in one day have so many farmers' wagons been seen on the streets of O'Neill. For a couple of hours this afternoon there was a steady procession of lumber wagons loaded with ranchers in wolf skin coats filing in from the morth and west. The remains of Scott are still on the cooling board at the morgue, just as they were taken from the river, and this was the first objective point of the vis- itors, Fully 2,000 people have viewed the body during the past two days, and they are still coming. Many of them come from the district north of the Niobrara, nearly fifty miles away, and had traveled nearly ail day. There s only one cxpression as the: e upon the ghastly relic of the mid- night deed, and that is that the good name of Hlolt county can only be redeemed by the punishinent of the murderers. The high tension at which public senti- ment Is strung was indicated by an occu rence this afternoon. Just after 3 o'clock and wlhen the main street was full of peo- ple, a pistol ghot was heard in a neighboring saloon, A minute after a 7 ran bore- headed into the street, with the bload 14 | ng in streams from a wound in (e sl | his head. The effect on the crowd was cloc- | trical. There was an instantancous rush (o wards the saloon, and men’s hands instinct- Hively sought their belts, WAS ONLY A QUARREL. Hank McEveny and several others anticl- pated any demonsiration by hustling away the participants in the fracas, assuring the | crowd that it was nothing but runken quarrel. The matter was ended but no one who saw the clremustances could draw any other conclusion than that there is a vast amount of Inflammable material her: capable of belng almost fnstantane. ously wrought into a blaze. As a prominent citizen who stood near remarked “It the right fellow had pulled that they would be shooting yet.” The trouble was caused by a party of young fellows who had loaded on too much Holt county booze. A feliow named Chisham drew a revolver in the saloon, when the pro- prietor jumped over the bar, and, snatching the weapon from his hand, laid his head open with the butt. In the struggle the gun was discharged, but in some miraculous man- uer the bullet sped through the crowd with- out hitting any ome. The scrap served to show the sort of fighting metal that exlsts in_Holt county. Ed Hersheiser has becn one of the leaders in the search for Scott's body, and is now suffering from inflammatory rheumatism, in- duced by the continued exposure. He was hobbling down the street on one foot and a pair of crutches when the shot was heard. In an instant his game foot struck the ground, and he was one of the first on the spot. it was not until a minute after that the pain reminded him that he was incapaci- tated for active locomotion. PREPARING THE PROSECUTION. Asoruey General Churchill s still fn gun, esent the | town, but will return to Lincoln in the morn- ing. He spent the entire afternoon closeted in a room at the Evans house with Dell Akin, County Attorney Murphy and one or two others. They went over the evidence in the case In detail, about twenty witnesses belng privately examiined during the session. As a result Mr. Churchill will come back to O'Nelll Monday and assist the prosecution during the preliminary examinations. He sald that some very strong evidence had been added, and that he was confident that the murdersrs of Dar- rett Scott would be brought to justice, He will probably order the necessary entry when he returns to Lincoln, dismissing the case now pending in the supreme court againstl Barrett Scott and releasing his bondsmen. A good deal of corroborative evidence was brought out during the examination this afternoon, but its nature is not disclosed Those in charge of the prosecution are sup- pressing all evidenco that has not already been made public, as they do not expect to be compelled to use it on the prelim. Inary examination. They believe that there Wwill be no difficulty in holding the prisoners to the district court, and they do not want the defense to obtain any fintimation of the testimony that they will hold in re serve. FUNERAL ON THURSDAY. It was decided tonight that the funeral of Barrett Scott will be held Thursday at 2 p. m. No change has been made in the arrangements previously decided on and tire local lodge of Odd Fellows will have charge of the services, Special trains will be run from Lincoln, Neligh and other points, An autopsy will be held some tine tomorrow forenoon, which will be conducted by Dr. P. H. Salter-of Norfolk and Drs. J. P, Gilligan and J. H. McDonald of this city It is likely that a chemical analysis will be made of the stomach, in order to ascertain whether he was killed at once or held cap- tive for some days in an effort to forco him to reveal where he had concealed the Holt county money, which the vigilantes believed he had in his possession. A memorandum has been sccured of the ingredients of the last meal that he ate before he left Minneola and it is expected that the analysis will disclose whether it was his iast meal on_earth.

M'DONALD, And fifty ‘others, YOUNG HELD AS A WITNESS, Clarke Young was brought in by Marshal Hall this afternoon as a witness, but he s not under arrest. Young is the farmer whos house is the only one in sight of the place where the tragedy was begun. He is sup- posed to know more about the shooting than lie dares to tell. This was evident when a Bee reporter and D. A. Doyle visited his house on the day following the murder. The next day he admitted to Dell Akin and Ed Hershiser that he had been asked to join the murderers. When they asked him from whom the Invitation was received he told them it was none of their business, Mert Roy has partially recovered from his illness and has been returned to his cell at the county jail. The jail is just large enough to hold the four prisoners now in custody, there being two cells with one upper and a lower bunk in each. The city jail will enly hold two prisoners, and if many more arrests are made some of them will have to be simply placed under guard. The jail where the prisoners are now confined is a small frame building in the court house yards. Turnkey Gibbons is alone in charge, and there secms to be no good reason why, if they were so disposed, the prisoners might not overpower him and escape at any hour of the day or night. Fred Harrls, the last man to be arrested, seems to be more at home in his position than any of the others. He steadfastly re- fuses to talk, and will not even say where he was on the night of thé murder, By dently he is smart enough to profit by the knowledge that his companions have contra- dicted themselves and cach other, and is resolved mot to prejudice his case in the same manner, Murphy's Answer to Holcomb, LINCOLN, Jan.

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan, 22.—An intereste ing story in circulation regarding the prob- able outbreak of war between Guatemala and Mexico s to the effect that General Porfirio Diaz, president of the Mexican republic, wiil take.command of the forces on the frontier in person. The report is widely spread in official gossip and Is not without the range of possibility. In the higher circles It Is held that General Diaz will not leave his seat as chief executive in the pending difii- culties, at least not until his presence {s imperatively demanded at the front., The general opinion among those close to the exccutive Is that he will place the command finally in the hands of one of three men to push the Guatemalan invasion. These three officers are: General Bernardo Reyes, goy- ernor of the state of Leon and general of a division of the Mexican army; General Jose Vicente Villado, governor of the state of Mexico and general of a brigade, and Gen- cral Luis Torres, governor of (he state of Sonora and general of a brigade, Of these three it is pretty well known that the cholce of the president is General Reyes of Monterey, who is also the understood favorite of General Diaz as his successor as chiet exceutive of this republic. The Guatemalan war will give the president an excellent op- portunity to bring out his protege and push him well forward in public favor as the hero of the Guatemalan episode. Reyes 18 already well and favorably known by his valor and fine executive abilities, ana next to the president s the most popular man in Mexico among Americans, By his friendly and encouraging attitude as governor of Nuevo Leon he has planted many large American industries in the city of Monterey, and today, as. a result, that place has a larger American population than the City of Mexico. Should anything prevent General Reyes taking command at the front, or should accident befall him, it is probable one or the other of the remaining generals would assume direction of the campaign, Should the conflict lead into a general Central American fight or develop into un- foreseen complications it Is entirely within the range of possibility that General Diaz would then take the field in person, with the probability of adding to his glory as the greatest military man of the present genera- tion, In Spanish America, should the presi- dent vacate his chair, the mnext officlal legally authorized to assume provisional charge of national affairs would be the presi- dent of the senate, or in case of the recess of congress, as at the present time, the chalrman of the permanent congressional commission, who Is named the firet of every month.
