A Miscellaneous Day Spent in the
Elkhorn Woods.

Nine car loads of cxcursionists pulled
out of tho Union Pacific depot yesterday
morning at O'Clock, to attend the brick
layers picnic, near Waterloo. A pull of
an hour brought them to a shady grove
Immediately east of the Elkhorn, on the
line of the track. Here dancing plat
form and band stand had been erected,
and around these centered the interest of
the greater part of the people through
out the day. The music for dancing was
furnished by the A. o. II. band and Hof-
mans, and the general responses
made to the ca lis for parties dur
ing the day attested strong APP
probation for the terpsiehorean strains
OF these organizations.
The tcGrstand was literally patroniasd
during the day and, in its vi einity, Il cou-
pie OF fstio encounters tookplace, the re-
suit OF which was some bloody blows and

How the Fighting GIadiators Didn't
Fight Saturday Night.
The sword contest between Duncan Q.
Ross and Sergeant Walsh did not take
place at the exposition building last Sat
urday night, What did take place, how
ever, was n contest between Mr.. Ross
and an old soldier. named Barryman,
who is an employe in one of the Omaha
livery stables, There were 1000 specta-
tors, including deadheads. Pat Fallon
acted as referee, while Captain O'Mally
seconded Barryman and Ed Rothery
seconded Ross. There is special rea-
son for saying that these gentlemen ac.
quilted themselves honorablY. The fight
consisted of twenty-nine attacks and
under the rule was awarded to Ross, who
had made fifteen points, or over one-half
of the number capable of being
made. Barryman made seven points.
A point consisted in striking
the corselet of IN antagonist, ALLOW on
| the head or one on the leg of the fighters
or body of the horse, counted against the
party making it. In the first part of the
meeting Ross had no difficulty in hitting
| his antagonist but as the latter became
| more calul anu ledIneu LHS lOrInGT s
method Of attack, he succeeded in making
1t no easy matter for Ross to get in Il
blow. In one attack Ross failed five
different times to reach his opponent,
while Barryman brought the attack to n
close by striking Ross upon the shoulder.
From the time that Barryman gained
confidence IN himself, the more skillful
cuts were made by him, and the greater
number of the cuts OF Ross were to his
superior strength in reaching Barryman
by breaking guard which the latter
| generally made in clever manner.
Ross best work was in suddenly dealing
second blow after the first had been
warded OF, and before q second guard
could be made. But this, too, was soon
learned by Barryman and guarded
| against. Al one time Ross wheeled his
| horse 10 the left TO catch his antagonist
| from behind, but he failed in his attempt.
The first meeting resulted in Barryman's S
horse slipping upon the floor, aud its
rider dropping out OF the saddle. This
was point against Barryman. though il
was couaterbalanced by another fatal
| accident when Ross broke his sword by
n light blow upon the others breast

Al the conclusion of the first fight,

ond bout without rest, which would pro-
long the entertainment until morning,
Ross waived his objection and agreed to
meet Wash Both mounted, rode TO the
middle of the arena and salutcd. Each
then retired to his corner and il was then
suddenly discovered that one-half of the
rubber shoe of one of the hind feet of
Walsh's horse had been so wrenched
that Walsh claimed he could not continue
the fight without endangering his life
lie refused absolutely to enter the com
bat and retired to his dressing room

rode over to Walsh's door and called
upon the latter to fight, but without avail

drOme. They suggested that Ross take
off shoe from his horse They also
shouted TO him to exchange horses with
Walsh, If he was so willing to have the
fight carried out. The referee declared
he would not decide the fight until it
should be fought out. The crowd then
slowly proceeded toward the street. many
remaining in the lobby i'm front of the
ticket office. Some demanded the return
of their money. The money, OF course,
was refused. Captain Cormick and Officers
OGrady and Whalen stood IN front of the
window and of course prevented any
illegal demonstration. The door was
urer Stephens and Ross filed out carrying
with them the receipts of the evening,
minus the cost of tho hall They filed
into the patrol wagon and with the
officers were driven to the Millard hotel,
where the three first mentioned were left
in Ross room counting the money.
There is no doubt that the shoe of
Walsh's horse was maliciomsly tampered
with. 1t was cut from the inside almost to
the outer edge. The cutwas evidently made
by sharp pointed pen-knife drawn from
the toe backward toward the frog after
the shoe had been fastened to the hoof.
1t is not possible at present to tell by
whom the dirty trick was done. But it
certainly was done with view 10 adj
vance the dishonest interests of some
body. With the everlasting combinations
whicn were made in the business, the cut
rT was us likely to help one side as we'll
as =. ,ther. II is not intended to intimate
that ther Ross or Walsh was a party to
the act, and while nobody can blame the
latter for not fighting the former
with badly equipped horse, he is
not entirely blameless because he should
have had supply of rubber shoes to re-
place the set II necessary in case of an
accident.
1t is perhaps well for Ross that Walsh
did not fight. He is 4 young man and
seems to be such an one rs would be
likely to be possessed of some skill rs a
fencer. If Ross was at his best when he
but doubled the points of man twice as
old and not one third as strong as him,
he certainly is not the swordsman which
he has been represented to be. 1t is
reasonable, therefore, to believe that
Walsh would AT least have given him a
very serious amount of work.
Ihls affair has gone on record as. a
fraud. 1t is another example added to
the long list of hippodromes which haYe
taken place in this city.

Another Man Who Answers the De-

The next dav after the brutal murder
of Chris Ruhle in this city. about a month
since, three men were arrested for dis
turbing the peace at Fremont. One of
them, who was shown TO have had no
connection with the disturbance, was re-
leased on the following day. Omaha Off
cials visited Fremont but failed to con.
meet either of the two men held with the
murder in any manner. Since then Cir
cumstances have been brought to light
which cast suspicion on the man who was
released before the visit of the Omaha
authorities. He is known to have thrown
away a coat and vest just before he
reached Fremont. These were after
wards found and showed traces
of blood. An official from
Fremont, who has been giving some at
tention to working up the case, has been
in the city for several days, and from
pointers received here is confident that
the man released is the same one who
was seen with Ruhle at the depot in the
evening few hours before the tragedy
was enacted. A barber has been found
who shaved the suspicioned parsonage
on the day before the murder, and his
description of the man tallies exactly
with Ruhle on the evening of the killing.
The man has been traced to a small town
in western Iowa, whore he will be ar
rested to-day by the Fremont official,
who left for that purpose last evening.

years old, of James Roberts, member of
the bricklayers' union. The father
was standing near the dancing
floor, and recognizing his sou

later, the boy eXCiaime, "Oh, father, I'm

ing, the lad was not in range of the shot
fired at the target, and the recklcssness

ton
In the morning a match game
of ball of four innings, was
played between nine of
the bricklayers consisting of G..
McGrady, catcher, T. O'Neill, pitcher;
Il. Curry, first base; A. LOCKER, second
base; Harry Troxel short stop; Ben
Rickets, third base; Hank Calvin, left
field; Ben English, center field, and
Chas Willis, right field.
The nine of pasterers was composed
of Garrett, Wilson, Foster, Richardson,
bricklayers won by score of ten to two,
the plasterers being whtewashed twice,
and the bricklayers once. The game was
well contested Notwithstanding it
was played in field in which the grass
was about as high as players ears.
AT . o'clock n storm of rain visited the
picniccrs, driving some of them to the
depot, some to share with a hog the pre-
cincts of deserted cabin, and consign-
ing the others TO considerable dampness
beneath the weeping trees and more than
dew besprinkled grass. The storm was
followed by sunshine and that soon dried
up the earth and grass and draggled raj
ment of the fair ones.
A young bricklayer, Sam Stevenson,
walked, or rather waltzed and ran, off
with all the prizes. He was partner to
Miss Bell Colley, who won portmonnaie
as prize for the best waltzer. He received
meerschaum pipe as the -prlze in 100
yards race against Frank Baily; also $40
in another 10O.yards race against Gregg;
long jump, in which he cleared eighteen
feet, and finally box of cigars in a third
race of 100 yards.
The excursionists returned home about
745 o'clock.

THE PRESS rs. TuE POLICE.

The famous contest between the police
force and the press gang took place as
advertised, at Athletic park on Saturday
afternoon. 1t was marked principally by
the poor playing and exocllent kicking Of
both nInes. Every time run was made
the out nine roared.. Every man would
swear he wouldn't play any more,
and the field would be deserted.
The players would then assemble in the
shade of the rcfreshment stand and after
each had looked at Joe Rowles through a
glass dimly they would return to their
places and go on with the game. The
press gang had sinch on the game from
the start and won easily. AT the middle
of the fourth inning the police
threw up their hands-the beer
was all gone-and the game was
called, the score being Is to 8 in favor of
the press iiends. The police force now
have two challenges on their hands, one
from the saloon keepers and another
from the councilmen.

Board of Trade.

In pursuance to call, number OF
prominent business men and other cit.
liens interested in the prosperity OF
Medicine Lodge, met in the opera house
last Friday evening, and started into
the preliminaries Of organizing board
of trade. Mayor Ingraham was called
to the chair, and explained the objects
OF the meeting. An informal talk was
INDUCED in, when the best mode of pro-
ceedure was discussed by those present
1t was finally agreed that committee
of three should be appointed, whose bu.
siness it should be to correspond with
the officers of boards of trade of Other
cities in the state, and get copies of by
laws, articles of Incorporation, and all
the other information possible, and t.
look up the law on the subject, and re-
port at another meeting, to be held on
Friday evening, October LIST. The may
or appointed as such committee, E. p.
Caruthers, L. NJ. Axline and Judge Lo-
rem Edwards. The committee has al
ready obtained much useful informa-
ton.
The object of this organization is to
further the social, financial and bust
ness interests of the city, rather than
attempt to regulate the prices of arti-
Giles of commerce. 1t Is to form q per-
manent association of citizens, who can
act in case of the probability of getting
any public institution, railroad or in.
ternal improvement. 1t is an organi-
zation that will be of vast benefit to the
city, as it will insure our people work
ing together for the general good.
OF course we will have to keep near
the shore at first; but in the event of
our fond hopes being realized, and this
city becoming of great commercial inn
portance, the board of trade may be of
great Importance.
1t is to be hoped that every citizen
who is interested in the prosperity of
the city will be present next Friday
night. 1t will not cost cent to be
there, and certainly every one can af-
ford to devote one evening to such a
good cause.
The merchants, real estate owners,
mechanics, contractors, laboring men,
professional men-rich and poor alike
are interested in having the city adver-
tised, and there is no cheaper way of
doing it than by organizing board of
trade.
1t is in no way connected with poll
tics. 1t is not question of prohibition
or anti-prohibition. No particular re-
ligious belief is qualification for mem
bership. Every citizen is qualified.
So, talk up the board of trade, and
tell your neishbor about it; and then
everybody turn out and attend the
meeting on October LIST, at the opera
house.
