4 Relic of the Vikings.

There Is not great deal to see in
Christiana, and every stranger is taken
in the very first place to visit the Vi
king ship that was dug up few years
ago from the clay, in which it had lain
1000 years. and is shown the bones of
the hardy old northern sea king who
owned it and to whom his boat served as
mausoleum when he had died, as learned
doctors declare from an inspection of
what remains of him, of rheumatism. A
fine craft she must have been in her
time seventy-six feet long by sixteen
beam, with high raised stem and stern
post and with lines that modern boat
builders pronounce to be admirable.
One is tempted to make polite bow to
the venerable relic and say as one does
TO some old lady or gentleman who 10
proclairing the number of her or his
years: "You.look very young for your
age For the frames and planking of
this man-of- war of the olden time look
as if they might date from the eigh-
teenth instead Of the ninth century, and
the majority of her iron bolts show
hardly sign of rust. l suppose it is
all right andthat there is nothing of the
Cardiff giant about this Viking ship,
but it requires strong faith in arche-
illogical discernment and in the preserv-
alive properties of blue clay to take in
The whole story.

A Wonderful street.

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Win
dom is now in London trying to raise
money for building an arcade under the
whole length of Broadway, New York.
If he succeeds, that will be the most
extraordinary thoroughfare known to
the history of cities. The scheme is to
make new street under the present
surface oil broadway, extending to the
houses on each side, and lit by electric
lights at night and glass retlectors in
the daytime. The middle of the street
would hold railway tracks, not only for
CITY travel, but to accommodate in COM
ing trains from every part of the coun-
try.
The traveller in San Francisco or st.
Paul would not only buy his ticket for
New York, but the hotel on Broadway
where he intended to stop. Freight
and baggage would be conveyed directly
TO the warehouse or be received by the
express car which was to convey it to
any part of the country. Then traffic
of all kinds could be carried on on both
sides of the arcade. There would thus
be a double tier of stores. Provision
could be made for sewers, water mains,
gas pipes and heating tubes. In short,
it would become double street and the
value of the property quadrupled along
the route. Engineers say the scheme
is entirely practicable. There is bust
ness enough now on Broadway for two
thoroughfares.

LOVERS AND PISTOLS.
An Excited Young Man shoots AZ a
Pretty Girl.


Last evening a pistol shot was heard in
the vicinity Of the southwest corner Of
Hill and Sixteenth streets. A rather
thorough investigation was made before
the cause of the shot could be learned,
but finally it was located in Leighton's
Hotel and subsequently traced to a Ger
tain room.
All of the facts are not obtainable and
strenuous efforts were made to suppress
any information Of the cause of the shoot
ing or the names Of the participants in
the affair, 1t was learned, however, that
a certain young man, who has many
friends and who would never be suspected
of being a sort Of modern Romeo, was
one of the actors in a quarrel of lovers
that came near ending in a tragedy, and
that the girl is handsome young woman
who came to this city not long ago.
A stormy interview between the people
was had, and while greatly excited the
Young man drew pistol and discharged
the weapon. The ball was buried in the
wall and no harm was done.

twelve skating entertainments. Keefe's
hall will be engaged for one night in each

THE %PREAcnRR PRIcE.
ADenial That He Was Forced to Take
the whisky That Killed Him.

To the Editor ofTHE LEADER.
PINE BLUFFS, December 1S.-In the
Omaha Republican Of a few days q APP
peared an article calling upon the public
to rise up and look into ''the affair at
Pine Bluffs, and see if Price was not
murdered. A few facts regarding this
man, aud the correct facts in the case
may be Of Interest to the general public.
The appearance of Price in Pine Bluffs
was that of tramp and thief. He entered
my dining room and having eaten his
dinner, he said he had no money to pay
for it. He also called for two drinks at
the bar, each time filing his glass, and
refused to pay for them, but he added,
Il am going to preach Sunday and will
take in a few chips and / will then settle
up for the drinks. Ithen gave him his
supper and told him to leave as | had no
use Tor him any longer. He was, how
ever given permission to preach for the
boys Sunday. His audience consisted of
four cowboys and eight or nine gentlemen
from Nebraska, who have large landed
interests m this part Of Wyoming and in
Colorado. They were awaiting the east
bound train, and as there was moth
ing doing part of them gave
their full attention to the remarks of the
preacher. He had taken whisky freely
during the morning preparatory to giving
his sermon The service was a mockery
and would not have been allowed in my
house had / known his intention. He
was a first class tramp and this was his
way ofreceiving a little money to spend
for whisky. The article in the Omaha
Republican referred to is a first class lie
from beginning to end. All of the whisky
drank by said Price was of his own free
will And the man that made the state
ment that "a revolver was drawn TO force
him to drink in my building during hat
day is a liar. A more peaceable lot of
men never met together than did on that
day at Pine Bluffs.
l call upon any who hear my statements
to make contrary to those | have here
made. The ordinary idea of a ''cowbo,
is that Of monster; a more kind hearted
jolly set of men you seldom meet than
the average cowboy. II. STuRTH.

TWO pEsrIruTE DtsrRrERs.
A Pair Of TImid soldiers who Prefer
Imprisonment to starvation.

Early yesterday evening a young Ger
man entered Marshal Schnitger's Office
and stated that he desired to surrender
himself as a deserter from the United
States army. Upon being questioned he
said his name was Peter Schroeder and
that he had deserted from Company C
Of the odd Infantry. He claimed to have
left the army while stationed at Fort
Lewis, Utah, and gave, as a reason for
surrendering himself, that he was desti-
tute, a stranger in the city and unable to
find employment. He was confined in
the City Jail.
About half-past Q O'Clock a rather I'M
sophisticated looking fellow came into the
office and asked Officer Nolan, who was
in charge, to give him a lodging place for
the night. He said that he had arrived
from Denver on Thursday and that he
was destitute. Nolan asked the fellow
several questions and eventually asked
him if he was a deserter from the army.
The young man unhesitatingly answered
in the affirmative. He said that he de-
serted from Company "B" of the 22d
regiment Of Infantry and that
Schroeder twas his partner. Both
men say that they took French leave
of the army last October. Since that
time they have suffered from privations
and hardships, and being unable to earn
a living they concluded to surrender
themselves. When told that they would
probably be sent to the penitentiary for
several years they said that imprisonment
wa preferable to starvation. A reward
of $50 is offered by the Government for
the arrest of deserters from the army and
therefore both Marshal Schnitger and
Officer Nolan will each secure that amount
for the arrest of the fellows, The
deserters appeared to be simple, harmless
fellows, lacking energy and any knowledge
Of the world.

Robbed His Benefactor.

Officer Van Thomasson arrested a fell
low yesterday who is wanted for rpbbing
Mr.. William Whiting, of johnson coun-
ty, of $50. The mar claims to be a piano
player, who chiefly pays tribute to tho
muse in resorts where music is something
of a mockcry. He was captured while
boarding a train for the West and states
that his name is Charles Dell. He came
here about two weeks ago, from johnson
county, where he had met Mr.. Whiting.
That gentleman gave Dell money and a
suit of clothes and almost supported the
fellow. An opportunity occurred to rob
Mr.. Whiting and Dell took the money.
He claims that it was given to him by a
woman Of the town known as Belle
Carne. Dell is a man some thirty odd
years Of age and looks like a very common
sort of a fellow. The woman denies his
statement regarding her donation to him.
