LINCOLN BUREAu OF THE OMAHA BEE, !
1929 II STREET,

LINCOLN. August -.
Order reigns this morning. But all
night long squads of men walked the
streets and stood upon the corners dis
cussing the shooting and the impending
riot. Angry and excited railroad men
were to be found any and everywhere.
They were on the alert for Burlington
detectives, and any bad breaks on their
part would have led to bloody work.
But the sleuth-hounds doing the bid
ding of this great corporation were Il
scarce article on the streets.
The wounded men lying at the
Capital hotel proved Il strong stim-
illus for watchful men, made daring and
revengcful by frequent wrongs and
abuses of like kind, and all they
wanted was an opportunity to take VEN
geance into their own hands and do the
work that ought to be left in the hands
of the law under all circumstances.
This morning the feverish pulse is
calmed. Men talk sensibly OF the event
Of yesterday. But no one can be found
who has n word to say in cXtenuation of
the act of Piuneo for it is now reasona-
bly, certain that he did the sbooting)
that came so near ending in
Il general riot and bloodshcd.
He is denounced on every
hand as cOwardly assassin. No condi
tion can be imagined that will warrant
prOmiscuOus shooting into au innocent
and helpless crowd. This is the general
feeling in the city of Lincoln, and it
grows and becomes stronger as all the
facts become known that led to the
wounding of four innocent persons, two
of whom, from the very nature of their
wounds, must be laid up for n long time.
The reversal of the order TO return
the eXcursionists to Omaha over the
Burlington route met with general APP
proval. AS stated in THE BEE this
morning the order to return over this
route was the primary cause
of the tragedy. The Union
Pacific employees refused to be
carried home over a road that employed
scab workmen, and this was done to
show where the sympathies of the union
men We're who were working on compet-
ing lines Of road. The objection of some
erratic workman to a division of the
spoils of a days pleasure, which was to
result from the return of the Union Pa
cifc excursion party over the Burling-
ton, and perhaps to show existing 10y
atty between these two great railway
companies, led to a general outburst
among the railroad wOrkmen Of the eX-
cursion party, and they immediately
Iull lllc bitll NlJl Jilt dlUCuuluS IC-
suits, known to the public.
Fortunately there was no resulting fa
tality from the cowardly shooting, al
though the lives Of many were put in
jeopardy. 1t has been repeatedly stated
that the party who did the shooting
gave himself up to Sheriff Melick. to es-
| cape direful consequences, but such is
not the case. Two or three different
persons are charged with having done
the shooting, but the impression is that
this is done to shift the guilt of the real
party, and to make it more difficult TO
fasten proof. But there is very little
doubt that Detective Pinneo committed
the cowardly and shameful act. 1t is
said that he does not deny it, AS yet
no arrests have been made, but it is
thought that there will be on the NOR
row. A gentleman by the name of
Smith received wound IN the hand, but
it is so slight that it will only inconven-
fence him for few days. The lady
who received the flesh wound in the
cheek is not known. She returned to
Omaha with the excursion party last
night.
