HA DAILY BEE ANUARY 381, 1908 AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA ‘Ooroner's Jury Retarns Verdiot of Suicide in Randall Frasier Onse. STREET SQUATTERS CANNOT GET TITLE Police Ofeers on Sharp Lookout for Bank Robbers—Last Smallpox Pa tlent Leaves Hospital— Magic City Gos An inquest was held yesterday afternoon over the remains of Randall Frazier, and the jury, after hearing the evidence, ro- turned a yardict of suicide. Arrangements are being made with Undertaker Brewer for the removal of the remains to Wayne, Neb., for interment. Frazler, it appears from the testimony, had been despondent for some time and lack of funds to meet running expenses worried him greatly. On the afternoon of the affair Frazier called at his barber shop and secured possession of his cup and brush, saying that he was Igoing awey. He then stepped into a saloon and paid a bill amounting to 35 cents and istated there that he was going away. Sev- eral uther little accounts were settled and |then Frazier purchased a bottle of car- Ibolic acid and went home and drank the {eontents of the vial Years ago the deceased was one of the {best known cattle men in the state and was {eonsidercd well fixed. Through speculation [Be lost the money he had made and saved. {Aside from tusurances in a couple of lodges, he left his family practically without funds. Frazler was a member of the ‘Woodmen and the Workmen at Wayno, Neb., and it is at the request of the mem- bers of these lodges that the remains will }be sent to Wayne for interment. There was little testimony of importance {introduced at the inquest, as the coramer |from the start understood that death had ibeen caused by the taking of carbollc acid. Cannot Secure Title. City Attorney Murdock has declared that he proposes to go after squatters at once, or at lea® as soon as the weather will permit of squatters moving without injury 1o the health of famlilies. A statemen’ was made In The Bee a day or two ago to the effect that those living on streets or alleys for a perlod of ten years or more would acquire title to the ground. This was the law the former city attorneys worked under, but it now appears that by an act of the legislature of two years ago title cannot be acquired on any dedicated streot or alley by squatters. Such title may ba acquired by the consent of the mayor and elty council, but not by adverse possession. This places the matter in an entirely dif- ferent light and the only thing that can be done now will be to go ahead and demand leases from those who mow occupy eity property. An effort will be made to have the engineer and the city attorney go over this matter together in order that the mat- ter may be straightened out, with the least expense possible to the city. Looking for Suspect The South Omaha police are on the look- but for bank ‘robbers just nmow. It has been rumored in police circles that the gang' operating in this vicinity is making & harbor of South Omaha tnd that when a trick is turned they make a run for cover here. Chief Briggs is having a special watch kept and all suspiclous characters are belng put through an examination. There seems to be no fear of any of the South Omaha banks being robbed, as the Isystem of protection appears to be perfect, but the chief has detalled speclal officers /to look out for suspicious characters her i No Smallpnx Here, Yegterday Df. Sapp, the city physician, Qischarged the third patient at the Emer- gency hospital and now the city is free from smallpox. The 1solation of the three cases reported here so far this winter has, it is stated, tended to decrease ghe num- ber of cases. Every effort is béing made by the health department to prevent tho sending of cases from other points to this city. While last year at this time the city had several hundred cases, the number has fallen 80 low this yoar that hardly any comment is made. 8o far the city has been enabled to get along with only a light ex- penditure as compared with one year and two years ago. Sehool Addition Completed At noon yesterday the two-room addition Ro the Albright school was completed, and the work was turned over by the con- tractors to the. school district. It is un- derstood that on Monday these rooms will be occupled by pupils. While these two rooms will help out the southeastern part of the city, there'is still a demand for ad- ditional room. The proposed additional room In the Brown park district will not have to be rented now, but more room is still needed in the locality south of Q street. Raflroad Ofcials Visit. Superintendent Baxter of the Unlon Pa- cific and a party of officials visited South Omaha yesterday afternoon. The party came down from Omaha in a private car, and' looked over .the stock yards and some of the packing plants. The visit of the Unlon Pacific officials here revived the story of the consttuction of a viaduct mcross the' tracks, but it was stated by those who are in a position to know that there was Dothiug of the kind in contem- plation, just at this time at least. Need Crosswalk, For a long time the memoers of the First Presbyterian church have been peti- tioning for & new cross walk at Twenty- fifth and J streets. The wash of the hill and the travel north and south soon wears out & walk, and now & new one is badly needed. The last walk was lald there when Dr. Ensor was mayor, and it s so far gone that those attending church ean tardly find if, especially if the tempera- ture happens to be above the freezing point. 1t fs stated by those who claim to know that the cost of @ new walk will be slight, and ag there is lumber on hand now it will be but the work of an hour or twe to put In & new walk, and thus help out those who attend this church Magie City Gossip.

RAMBO WANTS “LITTLE” She GIRL s Eleven Years Old and Welghs Less Than Six Hundred Pounds. many warm and trusting friends of 1. W. Miner, in Omaha and elnewhere, will find it exceedingly dif- cult to countenance the charge of Joseph Rambo of Council Bluffs that Mr. Miner has “kidnaped” Mr. Rambo's daughter. In the first place “Ike” fs a prominent Elk, & well-known and respected citizen and entirely too old to attempt such capers. In the second place, Mr. Rambo’s daugh ter happens to be “the Missouri fat giri, aged 11, welght 631, who was featured on the Ak-Sar-Ben midway last fall, and the process of kidnaping would be almost as dificult as the process of conjecturing what the deuce any man would want to try it for. In conclusion, it might be re- marked further that the spectacle of the Kkind-hearted and none-too-stalwart: Mr. Miner, gallavanting over distant states with & girl whose fdentification would be as easy as the identification of the Mor- mon tabernacle, and whose charms can scarcely be either material or evamescent, is a plcture quite beyond the conception of the most imaginative. Mr. Rambo, who is a very small man, called upon Chiet Donahoe yesterday after- noon, and said he “had another Pat Crowe case,” adding that Mr. Miner had kid- naped his daughter. The chiet queried the man, and learned that Mr. Miner and W. F. Gerke had en- tered into a contract with him last Sep- tember, by the terms of which the girl was to tour for exhibition purposes, the father to recelve a “rental” of $5 per day. Gerke states that he has since gone before a notary and withdrawn from the contract. The last time the father heard from the girl and Mr. Miner, he told the chief, was about three weeks ago, when they were showing in a tent at an Alabama resort Because he has not received any remit- tance since, nor heard further from them he concludes the showman has kidnaped the show. Chiet Donahoe told Mr. Rambo that as he is resident in Council Bluffs and the contract was made there, the case should be handled on that side of the river, but advised him to write the chief of police at the town last heard from and get the ex- hibit Tocated it possible; then take lotters of identification and go collect his daugh- ter and bring her home.

BUILDING COMPANY APPEARS Denies that Trustee of W. R. Bennett Entitled to y. Company Re: The Bennett Building company, J. E. Baum and C. W.

Benuelt company, in which he seeks to ob- tain title to the bullding in which the mercantile company s located.

The arguments will consume .the pgreater part of tho week beginning Feb- ruary 9. Up to date the commission hi heard 420 witnesses. Reading Discharges Witness. 1t developed during the day that a Read- ing company's miner, who testified before the commission at Scranton, had lost his place in consequence, and the coramission exacted a promise that he should be refn- stated. This concession was only secured, however, after Judge Gray had expressed the opinion that it was not right to de- prive a man of his position for testifying before the commission The miner, J. P. Clarke, had been unex- pectedly summoned, and went to Scran- ton without first notifying his toreman. On the third day of his absence the foreman filled his place, and afterward refused to reinstate him. Adam Boyd of Shenandoah, a diviston superintendent of the Philadelphia & Read- ing Iron and Coal company, was recalled when the commission opened, and on cross- examination said the company would rather let its miners drown tnan give rec- ognition to the union.

Mr. Jonek also presented a statement giv- ing the earnings for 1901 of the men pald by the day, week or month and a statement showing the workings of the miners' and laborers' benefit fund from the time it wes orfamized by the late Franklin F. Gowen, in 1877, to date. When the fund was started the company contributed $20,000, and 1t had made up all deficits whenever -any occurred and also all expenses for ' élerical work in connection with the fund. Nearly $2,000,- 000 had been paid out i benefits. Water Floods When Men Strike. Patrick F. Brennan of Shamokin, a di- vision superintendent, told of violence committed during the strike at the Henry Clay colliery, near Shamokin. Prior to the strike of 1900, he sald, the market regulated the output of coal, but since then the men had beel regulating production, When the late strike began there were 100 feet of water in the Henry Clay mine as the result of an accident. The men struck and allowed G00 feet of water to accumulate. It would take several months to get some of the levels in condition to work, and six to elght months before the lower level was clear of water. The engineers at the Henry Clay col- lery were working eight hours a day when the strike began, and the firemen were on duty longer. The firemen quit, and the engineers refused to handle so-called “scab” steam and also stopped work. The remainder of the day was taken up by witnesses called to show wages pald laborers and other workers employed in the coal regions in occupations other than mining. The wages were generally lower than those pald to mine workers. HACK DRIVERS MUST BE GOOD t to the Extent of Observ!

This s the first thriller that has had the temdrity to put in an appearance at the Boyd this season save on Sunday night. It had a genuine Sunday night welcome, though, a well-filled gallery being ever ready to applaud the noble speeches with which the lines teem or to gasp at the audacious villainy that {8 from time to time perpetrated during the working out of the plot, while “down stairs” was sold out. And some of this villainy is auda- clous even beyond the limits of the pro teased thriller.
