Nebraska has gone through twelve senatorial fights since its adwlssion to the union, esch one present ing new phases in the intricate political mancuvering resorted to when such high prizes are at stake. The comiug contest the double cholce is the first one involving since the original state leglslature. T vious struggles | been told in conr tion by the fir o story of the j ction with former con tests, but another review will be of special interest at this time and perhaps throw some light on what may be expocted Tho firat senatorial battle in Ne at Omaha. The principal competitors were Alvin Saunders, who had been territorial goverpor for six years;, Algernon 8. Pad dock, territorial secretary; G M. Thayer and Chaplain Thom ton. The contest was short, sharp and de clsive. Thayer and Tipton we They drew stra s W. Tip term, First Sharp Contest. At the end of his term in 1869 Mr. Tipton was re-electod for a full term of six years after a most exciting canvass. *His chiet competitor, David Butler, then governor, came within two votes of carrying the caucus nomination. Mr. Tipton, who died about a year ago, was one of the two men tlon to the United States senate, Gen- eral Charles ¥. Mandorson being the other semator, who served two terms In succession. Senator Pad- dock seived two terms in the United States senate from Nebraska, but his terms were not consecutive, and his second elec tlon cannot in strictness be called a re- whom Nebraska has honored by re-ele election, The third senatorial campaign, in 1870 and 1571, was flerce, vindictive and des- perate. General Thayer was the candid for re-election and the seat of war Omaha, where Thayer then resided. His only com- petitor before the people was Alvin ders. Thay aun under him, while Saunders headed the op posing faction. After a desperate battle, fn which the backers of both are said to have spent huge sums of money in the Douglas county republican primaries, rried pub- lican delegation from Douglas county, in spite of a bolters' ticket, supported by many self-styled simon-pure republicans, Regarding himself virtually elected Senator Thayer came off victorious.

In 1868 he accepted the surveyor-generalship of lowa and Nebraska | at the hands of President Johnson and with other officers who had afiliated with the democrats at that critical perfod he was summarily deposed in 1869 after Grant be- came president. With a number of inde- pendent republicans and the solid demo- cratie force Hitcheock defeated Thayer in & pitched battle before the legisature The Transtusion of Blood, Tho fourth senatorial contest was fought (n 1875, when Mr. Tipton's term expired Although this vacuncy occurred south of tho Platte river, Thayer and Paddock were again competitors. By this timo the Platte had been recognized as a state dividing 1pe and it had become an accepted rule that both senutors should not o ma fram tha rame side of the river. Thayer had taken up his residence in Lincoln to avoid this ebstruction during the preceding year and Paddock had established himself on sheep farm near Beatrice. In the popular tongue this migration was called the “transfusion of blood from Omaha to South Flatte.” When the legislature convened the race appesr d to be brtwe n ‘ohn M, Tha e and Elmer 8.

It is by all odds the most tmportant development in the case thus far, as it clears up tho identity of the pony at Pacific Junction, traces it directly into the hands of the bandits and furnishes more uccurate descriptions of the outlaws |than the police had previously secured. It as learncd that the pony was sold De cember 14 by Daniel Burrls, who lives at Grand avenue, to two men, one of whom answers the description of Pat |Crowe. The purchase price was $16 in | morey and a gold watch. The animal was taken nway, however, upon delivery of the | watch and $10 in money, and, as $5 is stiil owing, Burrls stll has a legal claim upon it. is probable that Mr. Burris will go to Pacific Junction today and rt his claim to the pony Burris describes the animal so minutely that there seems not the remotest pos- sibility that he can be mistaken. He men- tiors the peculiar markings of its fevt, the white star in the forehead, the lump under the law and the side-corks on its front shoes. Tho police are highly gratified at securiug this link In the chain, and feel that they will now be uble to work more intelligently on the case than ever before, Information Was Vol teer, About i o'clock Thursday afternoon some- one called up Chief Donabue by telephone, and sald he wished to give him some in- fornintion about the bay pony. The chiet told 1 to come down to the offi Al he didu't care to talk over the ‘phone. A f an hour later a man entered and introduced bimself as B. F. Warren, a pres.- man, living at 5319 Grand avenue. Krom him cnough was learned to assure the | chief that he was on the right track, and he sent detectives out to Warren's house. Later in the evening the detectives made A report to this effect The house st 3319 Lrund aveiae - cupled by two familes, those of Mr. ren and of Thomas B. Cooper, a contra. | with whom s living Dantel Burris, « vears old, hix wif's father. December |10 Warren sold to Burris the bay pony | now at Pacific Junction, December 13 two | men drove up to (he house in a light buggy obviously the one for which the police have been looking for the last week—and inquired if anyone living there had a pony | for sale. Burris replied that he had a pony | he might dispose of, but as he was just | Boing away he wouldn't have time to tali business with them then and asked them to call the noxt day. This they consented to Pat Crowe Tries Pony. During the forenoon of December 14 the two men called again. This time Burris showed them the pony. The light com- plexioned man of the palr who answers | the description of Pat Crowe mounted tha animal and rode it uround the yard, ex plaining that he wanted to use it as a saddle horse. He didn't need a saddle or bridle, he said; he already had those. After a few minutes the man dismounted and, approaching Burris, sald the pony was satisfactory and asked how much he would tuke for it Tho price was finally fixed at a gold watch and $15 in money, but just as the coin was being counted out the dark com- plexioned man discovered a lump under the pony's jaw and called his companion’s at- tention to it. The latter seemed disap- pointed at this. He sald he was afrald it would impair the value of the animal, so made another proposition to Burris. He would give him $10 and the watch, would take the pony to South Omaba and have the lump examined by a veterinary sur- geon and, if th geon said the blemish was of no corsoquence, he would pay Bur ris the remaining §5 “I will see you about that other $5 next Monday,” the light complexioned man is reported to have sald “Where shall I meet you ked Burris. “Meet me at Brewer's barn, 420 North Twenty-fifth street, South Omaha. If yon don't #eo me there, ask for Costello. They all knew me.” With this understanding the men parted, the purchasers leading the pony away be- hind their buggy. Not Known at the B The next Monday, which was December the day before the kidnapiug, Burris went to the place designated in South Omaha, expecting to get his momey. He inquired for “Costello,” but tho man In charge of (he stable informed him he didn't know anyone of that name. He then de- scribed “Costello,” and said he was & man who had recently bought a bay pony, but no ono around the barn had any recollec- tion of such a man or of such an animal From that day, until he read a description of his pony in the newspapers, Burrls hul no idea what became of it. On his trip to Pacific Junction today M Burris will be accompanied by B, F. War ren, who formerly owned the pony, anil who is acquainted with Its characteristics, The watch which Burrls recoived In part payment for the pony is a huntingcase, Ei gln movement and has evidently been In constant uge for ten or twelve years. Upon the front case is engraved the head of a horse. The case is numbered 46,014 and the works 5,017,624, As the police have no record of such a watch in thelr lsts of stolen property, they belleve that “‘Costelly' came by it honestly. De; cribe Crowe Acen ely. In describing the two men who called to buy the pony both Warren and Burris glve an excellont description of Pat Crowe, whom they refer to as the light-complexioned one of the twain and say he had a blond mus- tache. The other man, they way, was smaller in every way than Crowe and was dark complexioned. The latter may have had a small mustache, but if so, It was very short and scarcely noticeuble. His helg was about five feet eight inches. The buggy in which they rode wAs the same as that
