[By telegraph to the Dispatch.l
OMAHA, NEB., June 29.-L. s.
Smith, who aspired and used to be
known as the merchant prince Of the
prairies," paid his bill at the Local
Hotel yesterday, checked his trunk
for variously-reported points. and left
for parts unknown, taking, it is said,
l0,000 in cash with him.
Smith came here eight months ago
from Chicago. He had s75, 900, which he
invested in the dry-goods business, of
which he was apparently wholly igno-
rant. He at once began running NAM
moth excursions into the city from dis
tant points, purchasing the complete ad-
vertising space Of the daily papers, and
performing other like feats. Hisprices
reduced other merchants to point
where they were forced to go slow or
break. He carpeted the streets for Pc
destrians, gave open-air musical con-
certs for the poor, played poker extern
sively, and specialized in Chicago grain
pits. Some time ago it was thought he
could not go much farther without
help, and his creditors placed men
here to watch matters. These men had
decided to close the place to-day. At
late hour Saturday night Smith trans
ferred his stock TO Cole & Co., new
firm from the East, the consideration
being $4,000, and 10000 in three
months. Smith said little about his
business, and took his manager with
him when he left. j. V. Farwell Il
Co., of Chicago, are the heaviest Gre
ditors, their credit to him being about
s25. 900.
