MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF CLARK WOODMAN
ONE OF THE wEALTmEsr CITIZENS OF OMAHA

ONE OF THE WEALTHEsT CITIZENS OF OMAHA
FOUND DEAD AT A CHICAGO HOTEL.
Chicago. Aug. 20.-The dead body of Clark Wood
man, one Of the weathiest citizens Of Omaha, and an
Influential director in the Linseed Oil Trust was found
this afternoon in MS room the Grand Pacific Hotel
The general suppositlOn is that the death was that Of
. suicide. The for such act is still mys
terry, and all the circumstances DO not by any
confirm the theory of suicide. which is. however
strengthened by few strange and unexplained facts.
Mr.. Woodman arrived al the Grand Pacific Hotel
last Monday night. No one in the Office remembers
seeing him after he retired 10 his room at that time
On Wednesday evening chambermaid entered his room
and found him lying the bed fully dressed with
the exception Of his coat. Hearing the sound of his
breathing she supposed that he was merely sleeping
She did not reenter the until this afternoon. She
found the body still in the position but the face
was horribly discolored, ana the odor OF the ndi-
Gated death. DR.. II. W. Steger at once sum-
moned and four71 t1at such the case The condi-
ton of the body made it plain that he was breathing
his last when seen by the chambermad on Wednesday
night on the table were two bottles con-
tanning ammonia and the other spirits OF camphor.
stamped and sealed envelope, addressed H. C. Clark.
Omaha, Neb, was also on the table
Mr. Woodman was member Of the grain commission
firm of Woodman d Harris, with Offices at No. 917
Rookery Building. The current rumor this afternoon
was that Mr. WOOdman, whose estimated wealth is in
the neighborhood OF al 900 OOO had lost largo part
of his fortune during the recent rise in the prices OF
grain on the Board Of Trade. No one could be found
TO confirm this rlmor The junior member Of the
firm, j. f. Harris, said that except in company with
himself his partner visited the Board OF Trade
and that even then he did nothing outside the regular
work Of the firm strangely enough however, Mr..
Harris did not know that Mr.. Woodman was in the
city until he learned OF his death. lie had not seen
him for a week. and had assumed that he was in New
York
81 can imagine conceivable reason for suicide"

A little over year ago 5000 cloakmakers ana

much suffering won all their demands. But this year
they have not been successful All the union eioah

strike last week in the shops OF Freedman Brothers

the unions thought that they would win ther 'trhe
in short time. But they nckoned Without their
host and the result is that while these men are SUN
idle Freedman Brothers have nearly all the non-ullon
men they want. The complaint is now maze Oy tne

held meeting at No. As Franklin-st. yesterday, that
the Gotham Association of Shirt Cutters has become
traitor 10 the cause of labor and has passed resoiu
ton advising all members b get work IN CLOAK

been employed by Freedman Brothers, and this Is what
makes the cloakcutters so angry.
At the last meeting of the Cloak Cutters Union al
exciting incident was the discussion resolution
to abolish the Office Of walking delegate Inc resoiu
ton was carried at last by small majority, and DION
w Burke, the walking delegate, will 90 to work on
Monday cutting cloaks. Another thing which nas
helped to defeat the cloakcutters is that Bune0ns
