BLACKMAN's DIAMONDS.
The Diamond Thief May Get His Re
venge After All

l. B1ackman may lose his diamond
after all Last spring he gave Ender-
son, the diamond thief who was in
the Shawnee county Jail, 500 for one
of the largest of his collection of dia--
monds stolen in all parts of the coun-
try EndersOn gave him a statement
under oath saying that the diamond
was one he stole from Blackman at
the AtchisOn corn carnival last year.
Now a man named Sol Hopper of ON
aha, has replevined the stone and pro
poses to prove that it is his, and was
taken from him in a crush in front of
an Omaha opera house about a year
ago. Worse than all Enderson supports
Mr.. Hopper in his claim and says the
stone in possession of Blackman was
in truth stolen from Hopper at Omaha.
Several weeks ago EndersOn was ar
rested by the Chicago police. He had
try and picking up a precious stone
here and there where he happened to
see one that suited his fancy.
To a detective he confessed taking
the diamond from Mr.. Hopper in Oma-
ha and he told Hopper when he came
that he sold it to a man named Black
man in Topeka. EndersOn was brought
tective and he showed Hopper where
he could find the stone. Hopper inter
viewed Mr.. Biackman and was at once
convinced that the diamond was his.
The stone is valued at S400 and Mr..
Hopper has the bill of the importer in
New York who paid S37451 for the
stone. There will now be an interest
ing law suit to determine who is the
owner of the diamond Mr. Hopper is
and he proposes to recover the diamond
before he returns.

CONEY IsLAND swept.
a Fearful Sea Destroys Many struc-

Gus resort last night and today a
large number Of temporary structures
along the water front were destroyed

The Ocean hotel west Of the Brighton

old iron pier. which was believed to be
invincible was buffeted by the storm
and over twenty windows We're cut IN

pears to be matter of a few hours.
It is entirely surrounded by water and

were any names on the petition that
were not Republicans, and there was
some question as to some of the names
and there were men there from Brown
county that came forward and told who
the men were that signed the petition.
While we were at dinner / got a tele-
gram from Topeka saying that Sctil-
Ing'S nomination papers had been filed.
And after dinner after the delegates
had talked the matter over, we con
vened and on the first ballot out of
the p votes Fulton got 10, and think
that his name ought to go on the bal
called convention that was called by
the committee that was appointed by
the last senatorial convention in that
Mr.. Leland passed the letter over to
the board.
The letter is dated August 16, 1896.
and is from Schilling to Fulton. Among
other things it says
Don't fail to come as a delegate TO
the next convention and avoid getting
mixed up either for or against any can
didate for county Offices
After going on about not getting into
the fight for the county offices at some
length he concludes.
Everything indicates a victory for
me at the next convention. I should
not be surprised if they gave me the
nomination by acclamatiOn- I do not
think that Howell viii be able to get a
precinct outside Of Everest and with
in bad repute with the rank and file of
the Republican party in Brown county
not only now but hereafter"
The attorneys for Schiling then ar
gued to the board that under the law
Schilling was entitled to have his name
placed on the ticket as the Republican
nominee even if Fulton's was there;
also that his nomination was regular
on its face and that If Fultons was on.
then both were the nominees of the
party and both their names should go
on the ticket.
Mr.. Leland said to a reporter:
would not be able to make a nOmina-
ton and that it would either adjourn
or hold over till it was too late to file
the certificate and then he would have
his petition on file and would be the on
~ man on the ticket"
The board at the conclusion of the ar
gument adjourned to meet at half past
two. when heCSilxerson-AaarOn contest
for the Democratic nomination for the
appellate court judgeship was taken up.
p.m.-The board has decided in Full
toms favor and against Schilling.
