ueCtion For Omaha.
NfoBRARA, Neb., Oct. ID. Especial to THE
BEE. l-IHE BEE correspondent has during
the past summer promised "A connection with
Omaha before the end of the year. That
promise now looks as if il might be fulfilled
providing no unforeseen event occurs to mar
the prospect. The citizens here have left no
stones uuturned, and the late decree of the
supreme court reverting the grade of the
Chicago, Milwaukee 81 st. Paul railroad
company, together with other lands, to the
original owners. has at last brought relief ia
the Niobrara & Sioux Reservation railway
company, the articles of which appeared in
THE BEE during the past week.
1t proves more than paDer railroad, and
the county commissioners today called for "a
special election to be held in November TO
vote s. 600 bonds for Nobrara precinct. The
company agrees TO construct and operate
the road IN connection with the Fremont.
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road, which now
terminates at Nerdigris, twelve miles dis
tant, in consideration of the above amount of
bonds, right of way and depot grounds at
Niobrara. This assures Omaha of that much
desired outlet it has been crvlng for and
there is now no excuse for Omaha's efforts to
reach out into the DaBotas for new territory.
Omaha, however, has much preiuulce to
overcome as far as Nicbrara itself is con-
cerned, for the success of this enterprise has
been entirely local. and the people feel that
Omaha, outside Of The BEE, has not lifted a
finger for the relief of this section.

facts regarding the affray mt Dothen, Ala:

tablisheu warehouse at Dothen.
The town authorities endcavored TO collect

Strnger, manager Of the warehouse,
drove u dray himself yesterday and was ar
rested. The alliance men attended the
trial in force, and B. Stringer, relative of
George, quarrelled with the marshal and
flourished a knife in his face This started
the trouble. A fuslade of shots followed,
during which George Stringer and JEFF
Walker, of the alliance forces, fell dead,
and Peter Taw, Green Stringer and B.
Stringer were seriously wounded. Marshal
Donin. oes, Deputy Marshal Powell and
townsman named w. b. Craddock were
mortally wounded.
The terror which reigned during the re-
mainder of the day was crioable, aud
renewal of the fight was looked for last
night but all is now quiet. The farmers
now claim the townspeople treated tncm
wrongfully, and that the riot was Inevitable
under the provoCation given.
