D., Jan, 22.—(Special.)—The question of coal rates from the Wyoming mines to South Dakota points was again |up for discussion before the Business Men's club of this city at its dinner today. John Hays, a coal dealer of Fort Plerre, gave the meeting the benefit of what .he has learned in the way of coal rates. The Northwestern road makes a coal rate of }un & ton from Chicago to Wolsey, a dis- | tance of a little under 700 miles, then adds {$1.20 to the rate for bringing it to Pierre | or Fort Pierre, another 100 miles. This puts | coa) down here at a rate of $ a ton from Chicego. On coal from the Sheridan dis- triet in Wyoming, the Burlington road delivers it at Rapid City for $280 a ton and the Northwestern road makes a rate of $3.40 & ton from Rapid City to Plerre, a | distance of less than 200 miles. This makes |the Wyoming coal cost nearly 32 & ton | more on frelght than eastern coal, with i haul of much less than half the dis- tance. This matter was especlally exem- | piified In the matter of five cars of Wy- oming coal which the state purchased at the time when {t looked as If the switch- { men's strike would cut off the supply from that directipn. Beside the freight charge \{the time in bringing in the Wyoming prod- |uet was greater than used in seeuring coal | trom the e It is alleged by those who { know that the Chicago officlals of (he road have been requested to m{lku 4 reason- [ able rate from Rapid City to the Missourl | river, but declined to make any change in | the existing rate |HONESTY REAPS OWN REWARD ‘mulsen Has Two Dollars Consclence for Re- turning Lost Purse.

Fischer negotlated a loan yes- | decamped with the cash. Fischer came to Fremont and pretended | to be seeking a farm. He €ald he wanted | about elghty acres and that he was going to buy it for his He looked several places and finally decided he wanted an eighty-acre tract a few miles from the town of Dodge. He consulted with Mr. O'Connor about the matter andy As the farm | the price asked, $150 per acre, | of to son-in-law was worth the security and Mr. O'Connor agreed let the man have the mones Yesterday afternoon Fischer appeared in Fremont at Mr, O'Connor's office with the abstract and deed apparently made out on regular blanks and certified to by a notary of Dodge and sealed with the notary's officlal seal. Mr. O'Connor looked over the papers and, belng somewhat acquainted with the signature of the fafmer whose land was supposed to be mentioned in the transaction and knowing the motary's sig- nature well, he naturally concluded the papers were all right and wrote out a check on a Fremont bank for $3,000, the amount Fischer sald he wanted to borrow on the land. The notes and mortsages were made out and all the papers In the transaction were taken to the county court house and duly recorded! It was the understanding between Fischer and O'Connor that Mr. O'Connor was to recelve a commission for his services in ¢ business and for the loan of the money. Mr. O'Connmor had in- tended loaning an insurance company's money for his client, but not being able to get the money at once, he concluded to let Fischer have his private funds, which he would replace later with money from a prominent insurance company for which he was agent. Mr. O'Connor has been in the real estate business for a long time and Is well posted in all the detalls of such transactions. The commission was to be pald at 4 o'clock, but when the time came no Fischer appeared on the scene. O'Connor became called up the notary at Dodge and questioned that official about the deed and the abstract. The notary denied ever having made out the papers. O'Connor called up the farmer, whose name is Billibeck, and the farmer declared he had no intention of selling his place and had made no deeds to the same. Inquiry revealed that Fischer had cashed the check at the Eremont bank, getting the currency and leafing the city on the train that departs from the Union station at Fremont at 2:15. It was presumed that Fischer came to Omaha. Telegrams were sent in all directions in an effort to catch the wily fellow. Mr. O'Connor came to Omaha as soon as possible, and the detec- tives and patrolmen wére instructed to look | DONAHUE NAMED PRESIDENT the murder of Willlam Cann, who is al- loged to have broken up Vandaveer's home, returned a verdict of acquittal.

D., Jan. 22.—(Special Tel- egram.)~The State Corn show adjourned late this afternoon, after holding a two | hours' business sessiol. The election of | officers resulted In a spirited fight be- | tween Superintendent Chamberlain of the Farmers' Institute board and Secretary Twambly of the corn show. Both set| forth thelr positions with reference to the | election yesterday and thelr remarks were personal. The following officers were elected, who will supersede those elected yesterday: President, H. E. Dawes of Fulton; vice president, H| W. THompson of Fulton; sec- retary, Prof. C. Willis of Brookings; treas- urer, E. P. Sand of Mitchell. . Directors, J. W. Pfirmeley of Ipswich, northern district; P. K.

Mr, Twambley might have been re- elected secretary, but he intends to remove from the state shortly, With a banquet this evening tendered the exhibitors and speakers the ¢orn show came to an end. out for Fischer; Well Known Crim In looking through the rogues' gallery at the police station in Omaha, O'Connor found Fischer's photograph. The pleture and circular accompanying it were sent out several years ago from Quincy, Ill, At that time the same game had been worked on & dealer in real estate in Quincy. A complete ‘deseription of the methods of the swindler was given, and Mr. O'Connor at once recognized the smooth stranger and his methods. Fischer represented to the notary at Dodge that he had some railroad bonds that he wanted to transfer and he had the notary impress his officlal seal on the bonds. Then coming to Omaha or some other city he had a seal made which is an exact duplicate of the original. He founa 6ut something of the style of handwriting of Mr. Billlbeck, the farmer with whom he talked in regard to the sale of the land, and being a smooth forger, he had little trouble in ‘duplicating the handwrit- ing of the farmer, The blanks he could easily buy of the local stationers or printers. Hé paid for the abstract and for_recording the papers. Fischer has & number of aliases. In the| named as John L. Butler, allas John | Hoover, allas John H. Kline. He ls about | 65 years of age, welghs 150 pounds, _is smoothly shaven, has gray hair. He poses as a farmer and Is.well posted on farming topics. Mr. O'Connor feels the loss of his money especlally, in view of the fact that he has had so much experience In real estate matters. Finally to get caught by &| swindler of this sbrt has made him feel quite dejected. From the record of Fischer, as given In the police reports, he has fleeced a number of men in the same way he secured the $3,000 from O'Connor. \ WELLINGTON, Kan., Jan. 2.—Late to- night the jury trying J.

D, Jan. 22—(Speclal)— The chances are that John Pirkey will not have to serve his term of three years in ths penitentiary, to which he was sentenced by Judge Smith at the term of court in Lyman county on the charge of horse steal- ing. Three years ago Pirkey was arrested for stealing twenty-one head of horses in Nebraska and driving them into South Dakota. He was convicted of the charge und his attorneys, Preston & Hannett, made application for a new trial, claiming that | the judge had made errors in the trial of the case. Judge Smith denled a new trial | and the case was taken to the supreme | court, and the judgment of the lower court | was affirmed, two of the supreme judges affirming the decision and one being against. The attorneys tried another tack, and made epplication for & rehearing. In the meantime the supremi court personnel had been changed to some extent by the appointment of two more judges, making five on the bench. The rehearing was granted and argued before the five judges, and the declision they rendéred was to re- verse the case, the sentence and judgment being set aside. With the main witnesses scattered over the) country, it fs not likely that Pirkey will be tried again. Deadwood Bank Officers, DEADWOOD, 8.
