A BOLD THIEF.
He Grabs Diamond Drummer's Va
IiSe and Runs.

He Grabs a Diamond Drummer's Va
Ise and Runs.
A sneak thief came within an ace of max
ing rich haul at the Union depot last
evening.
r. B. Price, a travelling salesman repre-.
senting Boyd & Co., diamond brokers of Chi
cago, had been in the city most of the day
selling goods for his house, and at 8 o'clock
went to the depot for the purpose of taking
an east bound train for Des Moines.
His samples, which consisted of diamonds
and other precious stones, of the value of
$4,000, were carried in small leather grip.
Walking into the waiting room, Price
placed his grip on the shelf in front of the
ticket Office window and was in the act of
reaching into his pocket for his purse, when
neatly dressed man stepped up behind him
and in an instant had grabbed the grip con
tanning the valuables and was out of the
door.
Price discovered his loss just as the man
was passing out of the door, and in an instant
was in hot pursuit, screaming Stop, thief
at the top of his voice. The cry was taken up
by the loungers about the station, and mo-
ment later fifty men were following the man,
who was fleeing down the tracks toward the
shoulder the thief saw his pursuers
We're gaining upon him, and dropping the
valise, he darted between some
freight cars and escaped, while the crowd
gathered around the valise, all seeming afraid
to touch it, until the arrival of Officer Foley,
who secured the gems and turned them over
to their owner
During the time the thief was making his
flight, two men We're observed standing at
the east end of the depot platform, and as
they were quiet ard uninterested spectators,
apparently, it is believed they We're accom-
pliceS, and that the thief was attempting to
reach them at the time he dropped the valise.

A BLOODY PRIZE FIGHT.
Tim O'Hern and Barney Taylor Battle
at South Omaha.

The hardest and bloodiest prize fight that
has taken place in the vicinity of Omaha for
a number of years took place at Germania
hail. South Omaha, last night between Tim
O'Hern of Chicago and Barney Taylor of
South Omaha
The men entered the ring at 1890 sharp,
O'IIern stripping at 40 pounds and Taylor
at 1866 The fight was with four ounce gloves
to finish for purse of 500
and the gate. Ed Rothery and
Paddy Murphy were behind OHern,
while Taylor was esquired by Pete Boyle
and Tim Flynn. Pat Butler held the watch
for Taylor and Jimmy O'Donnell for o Hern.
After the usual wrangle Dan Paul was
agreed upon as referee and the men ordered
to shake hands.
'"lime!n called Paul, and the two giants
faced each other, O'Hen, who showed a
magnificent physique, towering full head
taller than Taylor. The men spared eau
tiously for minute, as if measuring each
others strength. O'Hern then assumed the
the aggressive and forcing Taylor back into
his corner, made lurch for his wind with
his left, and catching him hard, knocked
him against the ropes. Taylor came back
like cyclone, only to get it bitf, bang in the
jaw and neck with Il vigor that caused him to
see several million stars. He was very
groggy and another punch would have sent
him out, but the call OF time saved him.
Taylor came up fresh in the second, as if
ycarning for more. He did not delay, but
rushed in and planted n good one on o Hern's
neck and another III the short ribs. But
O'Hem was like d stone wall and cutting
loose he landed on Ml Taylor's jaw with an
emphasis that sent him with IA dull thud to
the resin. First knock down for O'Hem
In the third round There was little monkey
Ing. OHern was anxious for "A knock out
Fiddling Taylor back into his own corner he
tented warily with bis left, then sent in his
right. with awful force, splitting Taylor's
cheek and drawing the blood in torrent
First blood for O'HeIn, but not satisfied with
this he kept up his hurricane tactics and
landed half dozen good licks on Taylor's
jaw and nose.
In the outset of the fourth round O'Hern
sayagely upper cut Barney, producing another
buckcttul OF gore. Then the men clinChed
and in the close fighting Tim had much the
best OF IT, They were separated by the
referee, and almost instantly Taylor landed
heavily on the Chicago mans jaw, This he
repeated twice, finally getting home necker
that sent O'Hem TO the boards He was
quickly on his pins, however, and rushing in
II was hammer and tongs until time was
called, Taylor emerged from this round
hideOus spectacle indeed His nose was
swollen to twice its normal size, his cheek
spht open and his right eye closed, while his
body was one smear of blood.
Both men cameyup smiling like June
morning for the fifth. quick exchange of
sharp blows ensued, then the men fell back
an the round was consumed in a play for
wind
In the sixth o'Hern led on with his right

vIADUCT AND BOULEVARD.
Efforts to Secure Both BY Leayenworth
Street PronertY Owners.


A large meeting of property owners on
Leavcnworth street west of Park avenue and
on adjoining streets was held at the corner of
Park avenue and Lcavenworth street last
night to consider the proposed boulevard and
the viaduct on Leavenworth street The
meeting organized by elccting II. G. Patter-
son chairman and G. NJ. Cooper secretary.
The property owners were unanimously in
favor of both projects and nearly every one
present had something to say about the mat
ter. 1t was the general opinion that property
owners on the street would donate fifty feet
on each side for the purpose of making u
boulevard $50 feet wide.
committee, consisting of j. II. Bel, COL
onel G.. S. Chase and j. w. Griffith, was ap-
pointed to draft series of resolutions to be
presented TO the meeting. The committee
retired and presented the following:

CONSIDERING BRICK.
Board OF Public Works to Experiment
to Secure the Best.


to Secure the Best.
The board of public works, at its meeting yes
terday afternoon, considered the question of
the kind of brick to be used this year in paving.
The contracts for this work call for Gales
burg brick, or brick equally as good The
board will decide what particular paving
brick shall be allowed under the latter part
of this clause. Mr.. Kierstead expressed
himself in favor of patronizing
home brick makers provided a
brick could be furnished which would wear
as well, or nearly so well as the Galesburg.
In order to determine this point, a number
of the various makes of brick will be placed
in large revolving cylinder and tumbled
about promiscuously. The brick which comes
out of this test with the minimum amount of
"chipping' will be decided on other qualities
being equal.
Mr.. Kierstead reported that he had exam
ined the North Omaha sewer and found that
a crack had been made along the top between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets, which could
be repaired at an expense of about 500.
Major Furay introduced resolution, which
was adopted, calling for samples of paving
brick to be submitted to the board by noon
on the 18th inst for inspection and trial by
the board.
The city engineer was directed to ask the
council for authority to repair the North
Omaha sewer
