rested in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Walter
r. Houghton, postal clerk, running
from Cheyenne to Ogden on charge
of stealing registered package con.
tanning S14, 900. The package alleged
10 have been stolen by Houghton was
mailed by Chicago bank to a cores
pendent in Sacramento, California,
about September 10Th. 1t disappeared
somewhere en- route. and an investi-
CATION by the postal authorities dis
closed that it disappeared somewhere
between Omaha and Ogden.
The secret service officers learned
that Houghton's mistress, who has
been staying in Denver for three
weeks, had changed three 500 bills
and as the money was all in 500 bills
they at once made arrangements for
Houghton's arrest. The woman was
at first taken into custody and her
statements went to verify the opinion
OF the officers.
A telegram received here from Chey-
enne states that the officers have solved
the mystery of the missing package in
the arrest of Railway Mail Clerk Wal
ter g. Houghton of Cheyenne, on his
return trip. Houghton's regular run
is from Cheyenne to Ogden, and on his
return from the run west he was
ordered to make his report at the post
office, where he was arrested. He was
confronted with evidence of guilt and
finally confessed TO stealing the pack
age which contained $4,000, instead
of S14, 600, as heretofore published.
Houghton is a younger brother of
Fred Houghton, who recently served a
year in the penitentiary for robbing
his employer, Cheyenne merchant.
After Houghton had confessed his
crime he offered to refund the amount
stolen, except $500 which he had spent,
provided the officers would agree that
he should not be prosecuted. He de-
clared that if they would not so agree
the money would be Immediately
burned. United States Commissioner
r. j. Fisher and United States District
Attorney Clark both refused to accept
Houghton's proposition and he refused
to disclose the hiding place of the
money.

overwork During the preceding night
he had made four speeches.
Mr.. George. when he accepted the

would be detrimental to his health.
He believed it duty to accept, how

it killed him. He has been in poor
health for a few years past.
Henry George is one of not few
typesetters who have become famous.
With the aristocracy of Drawn he is an
idol; with the aristocracy of wealth he
is an agitator; in the aristcracy Of
brains he takes high rank He is best
known because he wrote Progress
and Poverty" advocating the single
tax. and because he ran for mayor OF
New York in 1886, winning a great
victory for organized labor, though he
was not elected.

honor to the man who had fallen IN

GIGANTIC AUCTION SALE.
Union Pacific Purchased by the Reorgan.
ization Committee.

I
ization Committee.
Omaha, Neb. Nov. 2--The interest of
the United States government in the
Union Pacific railroad terminated at
11:45 o'clock yesterday morning, when,
at the foreclosure sale of the mort
gage held by the United States. the
road was purchased by the committee
OF eastern capitalists formed for its
organization.
The full amount accruing TO the
United States from the sale cannot be
given exactly, but it is estimated to be
SIS, O65. 1880. IL was impossible to
determine the full amount at the time
of sale, for the reason that the monthly
statement made by the secretary Of
the treasury 10 the management Of the
Union PaciGe on the first OF every
month was not available, and il was
found necessary 10 estimate some items,
although il is admitted by both sides
that the estimates are approximately
correct. The amount due the govern
ment is made up as follows:
Principal Of debt, ST, 936, 5l2; inter
est paid by the government up to Sep
tember 80, 1897, $50, $50, 1868 interest
accrued by September 80, and still un-
paid, 1885, l47.69; interest accrued in
October, S95, 1882. 55i total due the gov
eminent, s5s, AS, 02s.6l.
Against this are the following
credits: Cash and bonds in sinking
fund, sls, 1872, 1888; estimated credits
for the quarter ending September 80,
and for the month of October, includ-
ing government earnings and the in
terest on bonds in the sinking fund,
amount not yet credited, 1884, 1921.
Total credit, SIS, 5G5, 636.74.
Total debt Of the railroad TO the
government. s5s, l4s, O2s.6l; total credit
OF railroad with government, Sl6,565,-
6i6. "a. Balance and amount bid by
reorganization committee. 800, ss3,
2si.s7 The sinking fund bonds sold
for $1,000. 25O90 Total bids by re-
organization committee, S53, 52s, 532.7 rs.
The amount earned by the road dur
ing the quarter ended September 30,
and during the month Of October, is
estimated, but is practically correct,
and as the government will simply re-
tain the cash, crediting the amount on
the bids of the committee, the amount
20 be turned over as consequence of
the sales is SIS, O65, 7sO.4O.
After the sale was concluded c. X.
Gown, the representative of the gov
ernment, was assured by the commit
tee that II the amounts not accurately
figured should differ from the figures
given above, whatever may be lacking
will be paid by the committee and will
in no way be allowed TO interfere with
the confirmation of the sale.
There was no opposition to the com
mittee and no bids were offered
against theirs
