TRACY ISNOT A NEBRASKAN Bad Man from This BState Has Been in Linooln During Oregonian's Retirement. EXCISE BOARD TO HELP OUT VISITORS Proposes to Allow Lincoln Sa to Keep Open Late W ventions Meet in the Otty. n Con. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 14.—(Special.)~The im- pression has become general during the last few days that Harry Tracy, the Ore- gon outlaw and escaped criminal, s the Tracy who served four terms in the Ne- braska penitentiary and has a state-wide reputation for lawlessness The Oregon Oregon desperado s described as a half- breed Mexican. The Nebraskg Tracy is known as a half-breed Indian. In color and height the descriptions of the two men agree perfectly, The records at the penitentiary, how- ever, disclose Information which disproves the supposed identification. Harry Tracy, the murderer, was arrested in Oregon in 1899, and so far as can be learned here was in custody until he broke out of the peni- tentlary at Salem a short time ago. The Tracy known here was at liberty during the year 1890, but served time subse- quently in the Nebraska penitentiary. This fact makes It certain that the Nebraska conviet 18 not the man who has been mur- dering, stealing and invading homes and property in Oregon and Washington. C. E. Kent of this city saw Tracy make his wild race In a steam launch through Puget sound. Mr. Kent was fishing from & small boat mear the shore when the steam craft came along at a terrific speed. “The boat was having a race without competition,” sald he, “‘and was evidently going at topmost speed. I could see five men on the deck, one of them standing in the bow and pointiug a revolver at the others. The boat passed not twenty yards from us. After we got back to Seattle we were told that Track had escaped through the sound. He held up the crew in South bay and forced it to take him to Seattle. He was not pursued through the sound, but was determined to make the best time possible.” Accommodatio The excise board of this city, which has Jurisdiction over the sale of intoxicating 1iquors, {s considering a proposition which, it adopted, will make it possible for loons to keep open after the usual closing time whenever there are conventions or large gatherings of people In the city. The matter was discussed informally this morn- ing and tomorrow will likely come up for conelderation in a formal way. The proposition is submitted by Excise- man Woods, who would have the rules of the board amended to provide that no s Joon shall be open between 11:30 p. m. and “upless speclal permigsion be given by the board, The introduction of this amendment is prompted by a complaint recently filed agalnst the Lindell hotel, in which it was alleged, as grounds for the revocation of the hotel's license, that the saloon in the establishment was kept open after the le- gal closing time on the night of a conven- tion, It transpired in the meeting this morning that two members of the board personally informed the proprietors of the hotel that they might keep their place open a little later than usual on that night. This action was entirely informal on the part of the members of the board and is contended by lawyers for the complainant talbe o excuse* for the preprietors’ viola- tion of the board’s rule The excise board also has under consid- .eration the question of whether or not the munieipal corporation is or can be held lable for damages to property by reason of the creation or existence of the “‘reser- vation" in the western end of the town. Complaints have been made by property owners and the city attorney has been asked for an opinion. : Total of Lincoln Asse Tax Commissioner Altken this afternoon filed With City Clerk Pratt the grand total of taxable property in the city, the sum aggregating $21,280,681. Of this amount the real estate figures up to $16,155,685, the personal property is assessed at $5,082,- and raliroads and telegraphs at $101,- 147. In the city 5,350 persons are llable for poll tax. Tonight the estimates from the various departments were referred to the finance committee by the counell. It 1s thought by some members that nine mills will turn jp enough of revenue during the present year owing to the condition of the judgment fund. Last year it was ten mill: but there was a big levy for judgments. Some are In favor of a alnking fund, how- ever, and it this idea is adopted the levy may be ten mills. At the latter figure the revenue to the city would be something ke $212,98 © J. N.

UNION STATION AT FREMONT emplated Structure Wil & Reality by Union Pacific FREMONT, Neb, July 14.—(Special)— President Burt of the Union Pacific was in town today consulting with the city officials in regard to the closing of F, D and C streets for the purpose of obtaining suf- clent ground for the new' union station. He sald that as soon as this was done work would at once commence. The two rail- road companies, Elkhorn and Unifon Pacifie, intend to purchase the fractional block between the tracks of the two roads now owned by L. P. Larson, Fred Wels and Frank Hanlon and a strip of land east of Main street, owned by E. P. Anderson. The Healey & Murray fence factory is situated on land owned by the Elkhorn and will also be remioved. The new sta- tion will be a one-story brick, facing Maln street, with covered walks between the tracks on the north and south sides. These on the north side which will be used by the Elkhorn will be nearly 700 feet in length. The main tracks of the Union Pacific will be moved a considerable distance north from their present location, and those on the Elkborn a little south. A new freight depot will be bullt by the Union Pacific which will be north of the present structure with a platform extend- ing nearly across of the present line of F street. A portion of the space mow occu- pled by the Larson, Weis and Manlon bulld- ings will be lald out as & railroad park. The Union Pacific also agree to lay out a street a strip of land between Broad and Maln streets on the south line of their right of way forty feet in width for the benefit of those owning property on south F street. Saturday several Unlon Pacific surveyors were in town measuring lines for track and laying out the site of the statfon, and Mr. Burt states they are ready to commence work at once. The station will cost $75,- 000 and will contain all the modern con- venlences. It will be finishad this fall. The city council passed the ordinance closing F, D and O streets this evening under suspension of the rules, all present voting yes. The ordinance closes F street from First to the south line of the Unlon Pa- cific right of way, and D and C streets from the north line of the Elkhorn right of way to the south line of the Union Pa- cific right-of-way and provides for the opening of a new street south of the Union Pacific right-of-way between Broad and Main streets. A protest against closing F street, signed by twenty-five business men, was filed, but received no considera- tion by the ecouncil.

HEBRON, Neb., July 14.—(Speclal.)—The waters in the flooded districts are gradually receding. A short distance up the Little Blue river another stream has branched out. The two streams travel parallel for one-half mile, the distance between them being approxi- mately (100 yards. They again unite just outside the city.
