BEDFORD, Ia., July 9—With four men nder aurrest for alleged eomplicity in the murder of a wealthy stockman and his son at Siam, Ia., in September, 1868, and arrangements made for the protec- tion of the state’s chief witness, representatives of Genefal Cosson’s office tonight said they were pre- pared for the next phase of Taylor county’s double murder and buried treasure. This, they said, woulds come up Tuesday, when the prelimi- npary hearing of the defendants Bates Huntsman, Samuel Scrivner and Henry Damewood, will be called in the local court. €. A.

Samuel Scrivher, the wealthiest man among the defendants, in an interview here today characterized the whole pre- 'cetding as a “huge joke.’ The Dame- woods, notwithstanding,, they declined to treat the matter seriously. Another version of the treasure story came to light, when old residents said the money had been burled on the farm by the James boys, after they had robbed a bank. This was said to account for their interest in locating it in after years. as a l-year-| THE LIBERTY BELL! | Thousands March Past Historic Relic in Spite of the Rain of the Morning. MAKES TRIP OVER THE STATE { Fully 40,000 people saw the Lib-! erty bell while it was on display in/ Omaha, in spite of the rain and dis- agreeable weather. Yet the five hours time allowed for Omaha to view the famous old | relic was not enough, so great wna} the crowd and so enthusiastic the re- ception. Several thousand more peo- ple had to be content with a long distance view from the railroad via- ducts and other points of vantage, because they could not get near the bell during the few hours it was | parked for public display. ! As it was being pulled out of the city | over the Burlington, to continue its long | journey to the San Francisro exposition, throngs gathered at points of vantage | near the depots apd all along the rail-| road to the city limits, shouting and wav- | ing farewell to the sacred relic of the| nation’s birth, Line Several Blocks Long. Babes in arms and aged men and wo- | men, invalids and cripples, rich and poor, | all forgot their work and business and crowded anxiously in long lines toward' the place of display on Jackson street | between Ninth and Tenth, with the one| common thought of seeing the historic | plece of moulded metal. At times the| lines of waiting people were several | blocks long, and many militiamen, police | officers and detectives and rallroad and | special officers were required to handle | the crowds. All estimates of the crowd agreed that 1t numbered-at least 40,000, some being as | high as 45000, based upon approximate counts of the throng as It surged by the special car on which ths bell was placed. | | At timea. the passing crowd numbered as | high as 250 per minute. { Patriotic tunes by a fife and drum cor!\.' and several bands enlivened the scane, | and at intervals the forty-eight [Irln,Y representing the states of the union and | standing around the bell on the special | car, joined in singing “America” and other national songs.

The four vigorously denied the charges against them. They have been respecied citizens for nearly & half century.

The bell was about fifteen minutes be- hind its schedule in being set on the spur | track on Jackson street,' between Ninth and Tenth. As early as 5 o'clock, béfore the bell ar- rived at the parking place on its special car, fifteen or. twenty working men were waiting to see it. Most of them were night workers, on their way nome, and it would be their only chance to view the precious old relie. Omaha Arcangem: Excellent. “It certainly marks an epoch in the history of Omaha,” asserted Captain C. B.
