Probability That Judge Higgins VIII Be
succeeded by the Omaha Man.
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. o. Especial to The
BEE. No one would suspect from visit to
the executive offices at the state house that
an important change had taken place within
the past twenty-four hours. Governor Boyd
ana his appointives have taken up the work
which they so suddenly were compelled to
drop last May ana are carrying on the routine
OF office work as smoothly as If an interim of
nearly year had not occurred.
Judge Higgins arrived from Columbus late
last night and this morning assumed his
duties as Governor Boyd's private secretary
II is not likely, however, that he will long
occupy the position, as his law practice Is
said to be worth more than the salary at
tached TO the private secretaryship He was
obliged TO return TO Columbus this evening
ON legal business. His successor will proba-
bly, bo Frank II. Morrssey of Omana. Gov
ornor Boyd stared TO The BEE representa-
tive that Mr.. Morrissey's appointment had
hot yet been fully decided upon. His friends
had urged him for the place and his name is
being considered In couDection with the
office,
hut Few Appointments Necessary.
There seems TO be something OF misun-
derstanding with the general public in re
gard to the appointments TO be made by GOV
ernor Boyd. his position Is simply this lie
considers that he has never been legally out
Of the ofice. None OF the men whom he ap-
pointed year ago have rendered their res
ignations, and consequently they all come
back to their OLD positions without the
formahty of "a reappointment. Thus IL Is
that General Vifqrain, Louis Heimrod,
Philip Andres and others have already
returned TO their desks and are already at
work Mr.. Mallon of Fremont arrived last
evening ana assumed his duties as war
den OF the state penitentiary this morning.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. d., Feb. 9.-Speciai to
TnE BEE. Some time ago a slick individual
representing himself to be an agent for the
International Enlarging and Copying COM
pany of st. Paul. who purDort to make a
specially of enlarging and copying photo
graphs, made a trip through many portions
OF South Dakota, and from Information re-
ceived here ne covered the state pretty
thoroughly. East of the Missouri river as
far as can be learned, he charged so cents
each for enlarged portraits of the photographs
given to him bv unsuspecting persons, and this
amount for each picture was required to De
paid down with the order. He stated that
his company would complete the pictures
within few weeks, when they would be
forwarded 10 the owners.
A short time afterward the St. Paul end Of
the swndling concern would send catalogues
of high priced frames to the persons order
ing the partraits, with the request that they
select Frame, varying in price from 50 to
SS, which they could pay for on receipt of
portrait. No one, of course. would order q
frame at the high price charged, and after
that nothing further would be heard from
the swindlers. The agent is now said to be
operating in Nebraska. In the Black Hills
he got away with great amount OF money,
his victims being numbered among the best
people of every Black Hills town.
What the Engineers Say.
RAPID CITY, S. d., Feb. 9-[Special to
The BEE. -Concernlng tho interview in THE
SUNDAY BEE, in which President Coad OF the
Dakota, Wyoming & Missouri River road
touched or the troubles between the road
and its locating engineers, Thomas II.
Loomis one Of the engineers in charge of the
work, said today: "Instead of trying to
loment trouble the engineer corps has alw ays
been q staunch friend of the company in its
various difficulties since work upon its line
commenced. Since last June but little over
one months pay has beenNgiven any member
of the corps, and at present there is due the
engineer corps, Sl3,25O; the bridge con-
tractors, s22, 900; due the merchants of Rapid
CITY, $4,000, ana to the su ubcontractors-we
they have not received one-fourth tho sum
due them. So you see from this, that instead
of Mr.. Coad having grievance against the
engineer corps it is just the other way and
that they have taken action against the road,
not for any spite they may hold against Mr..
Coad or any of his employees, but morely to
protect their own interests, and the facts
they claim will bear them out when they
state that they have oeen among the truest

AWFUL ACCIDENT.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.

The upper part of the body was badly
gashed. both arms being fractured and
cut, aud to cap the climax, the body was
disemboweled.
Both legs were also broken and mang led
and 1t seemed as though every bone in
his body was broken.
Officer Gardner was among the first TO
arrive and looked out for the boiy pend
ing the arrival of Medical Examiner
Palmer. who was at once notified.
"A large crowd gathered aud In order TO
prevent further accidents the cars were
held back for time.
The dead wagon was called and cou-
veyed the body to the Central Station
where an examination Of the remains was
made.
Regarding the accident, It appears mt
first sight as il no one but the old man
himself Is to blame.
Gripman Oscar Taylor stated that he
was coming down the hill at the usual
rate OF speed, and saw the old man stand
ing at the edge Of the sidewalk.
Taylor thought ut that time that there
was barely room for the car TO pass, and
runR the alarm bell vigorously TO warn
him Of his danger.
AS the Car approached the old man
seemed about to resume his journey down
the hill when he suddenly swerved to the
right and walked out on the track directly
I'm front Of the car.
So close was the car to him then that to
stop IL was an impossibility. and In q
second later the grip had struck the old
man, throwing him down and rolling him
over between the wheels.
Taylor said that he could not by any
manner OF means have stopped the car at
that time, the steep incline of the street
and the momentum of the cars being SO
great AS to render stopping suddenly out
OF the question.
However. he shut the brakes down hard
and threw all his strength into the task
OF stopping the car.
Conductor Peckham also saw the acci-
dent but from the rear end of the car.
lie makes substantially che same state
ment made by the gripInan.
Peckham says further that as soon as
he saw the old man step in front of the
car he ground the rear brakes down with
almost superhuman strength.
Even with these strong brakes on the
car would slide several feet before stop
ping and this is what occurred when the
old man was struck.
