DlSOBEDIENCE PROVES FATAL
Four Commands to Halt Disregnrded
by n Fugitive Private from
Fort Crook.

A court martial, consisting of Captain Grote
Hutcheson, acting advocate general, Major
f. II. Hathaway, Major W. H. Hammer,
Major Brad Slaughter, Lieutenant Colonel e.
A. Koerper and Captain harrington X.
West has opened on investigation OF the
death of Private Samuel Morgan, Tenth in
fantry, shot while attempting to escape from
Fort Crook. where he was under arrest.
Corporal Faire, under detention for homicide,
is defendant in the case. The trial is being
held at army headquarters in The Bee build
ing.
The first witness heard was Private Pryor,
the sentry in charge OF the prisoners at the
time the escape was effected. Pryor said
that he had been directed by the sergeant Of
the post guard to police the camp with the
two prisoners Samuel Morgan and Joseph
Deacon. the former being under arrest for
attempted desertion. The sentry stood guard
over his prisoners while they were engaged
in loading a cart with weeds and depositing
the refuse at the dump Several trips had
been made and on the final one at distance
furthest from the camp the men halted the
cart. Pryor, who Is a recruit was close be-
hind and ordered the men to proceed. The
driver thereupon kicked the mule which
sheered in the direction of Pryor who had
unwarily approached too close. AS the sentry,
off his guard sprang to one side Morgan
leaped from the cart upon his custodian and
threw him to the ground. The other prisoner
seized the PROSTATE privates gun and struck
him heavily upon the head. infiictng a
severe wound.
The witness says that he attempted to cry
out, but that the prisoners thrust his mouth
full OF weeds. After putting the sentry's
gun out of service the men fled down the
road and the sentry when he had suf-
recovered. hurried back to the post
and spread the alarm.
Sergeant William F. Simpson, sergeant of
the guard took up the recital at this point |
and described the efforts made to oyertake
the fugitves. Corporal Faire, the defend
ant and one other were dispatched in pursuit |
with directions first to order the men to halt |
and upon their disobedience to fire. The |
fugitives were traced TO a point several |
miles distant where they had separated.
John Nelson, a farmer living near La
Platte. saw the shooting OF the escaped |
prisoner, and testified that he had been |
ordered TO halt four times before he was |
ired upon. Corporal Faire, with a COM
)anion, the witness said was standing In the |
street at LaPlatte when the fugitive passed /

Police Commissioners against the granting
Of liquor license to Christ Jensen q CO.,

A proposal was received from j. 7. Nc

OF all school books which had been con-

purpose being to use them in missionary

Investigating Freight Matters.

A meeting of the Commercial club COM
mittee On transportation and railways will
be held this evening at The Bee office in the
city hall building. Since the last meeting
members of the committee have gained con-
siderable information regarding the freight
facilities here and also the needs of the
merchants. No complaint Is made against
the Burlington road, as it maintains
freight depot here and it is understood that
arrangements are about completed for en-
larging the present structure The work will
commence in short time. The Rock Island
handles South Omaha freight from it's depot
in Albright. While this is not as convenient
as it might be there is no prospect of better
service from this road as by its contract
trains are not allowed to stop in South
Omaha. Freight from the Northwestern
Milwaukee and Wabash roads is handled at
the Union Pacific depot here. Considerable
improvement in the accommodations could
be afforded by these roads IL desired and an
effort will be made by the Commercial club
to secure better service. Merchants here say
the Elkhorn and Missouri Pacific roads lose
business by not having suitable terminal
facilities here. The Missouri Pacific main
tains a small 'depot in the middle of the
tracks north of the l. street viaduct, but it
is difficult matter to reach it with team.
The Elkhorn handles all the freight for
South Omaha from the Webster street depot
and an effort will be made to have the man
ayers of this road make arrangements
whereby freight for this city will be sent
here direct, thus saving long haul by
wagon from Omaha. ~ g.

Grading for the new brick mandatory
to be established on the property of the
Stock Yards company near the intersection
OF Boyd and l. streets commenced yester-
day. August Stutzer, who Is to be the
superintendent of the plant, is in charge of
the work OF preparing the ground for the
buildings. Teams are little scarce at the
present time, but Mr.. Stutzer expects to
have ten or dozen graders at work today.
tract 100 feet north and south and 200
feet east and west will first be leveled in
order that the Stock Yards company may
lay a switch from the Belt Line tracks. It
is expected that the grading OF this tract
and the laying of the sidetrack will be com
pleted by the end OF the week. The plant
at Louisville is being torn down now and
the machinery loaded onto the cars. Lum-
ber from the present plant will be brought
here for the erection of some OF the build
ings.
One of the first buildings to be erected
here will be a structure 100 feet square, to
be used a steam dryroom. After being
nodded, brick are piled onto cars made of
iron, and run into the steam room, where
they are rapidly dried. Each car has
capacity of 500 brick, and the company has
$50 of these cars, so that it will be seen
that large number of brick can be dried at
one time. Coal will be used as fuel for
time to generate steam for this drying room,
but the use of crude petroleum for firing the
boilers is being considered After being
thoroughly dried, the brick are taken on
the cars to the kilns, where they are burned.
Superintendent Stutzer said yesterday that
the railroad facilities here were much bet
ter than at Louisville, and that he was
greatly pleased with the location.

Episcopalians of Omaha and South Omaha
rendered public reception in the CONNER

thur Llewellyn Williams, the recently con-
secrated Misrepresentation of the diocese of

The rain kept many away, yet the attend
ance was fairly good, and the enthusiasm
of those present was very evident.
Bishop Williams arrived early, accom-
panied by Mrs. Williams. They were at once
surrounded by a group of admirers. Every
Episcopal church of Omaha and South
Omaha was represented.
1t was an informal gathering and the
evening was spent in social conversation,
over ice cream and cake, with music to add
to the good cheer.
This reception was planned jointly by the
Episcopal churches of the two cities, and
the offer of the Commercial club rooms was
accepted with the expectation that the crowd
would be too large for any of the church
buildings, and 1t would have been but for
the rain. One purpose of the reception was
to give the parishoners of the different
churches opportunity to meet the bishop,
and he clasped hands with every man,
woman and child in attendance.

UNIVERSITY SITE BIDS
ONLY ONES RECEIVED BY sUPERvIs-
ING ARCHITECT TAYLOR.
Exceed Judge MartfndaIe's Estimate
by $125,0OO-The Government
May Condemn.

There was some surprise here yesterday
when the valuations which property own
ers in Block So put on their holdings became
known. The proposals for furnishing the
government a new site for its building In
this city were opened in the office OF MIR.
Taylor, supervising architect of the treas
ury. at Washington, yesterday. Contrary to
expectations. there was no proposal from
people owning the block on which the CYCLIC
rama is situated, nor was there an offer or
the Kentucky-avenue triangle. The only
bona fide offer was from the Block So prop
erty owners and not all of these submitted
proposals. A dispatch from the Journals
Washington correspondent last night said
1t was practically certain that the Univer-
sity square site would be taken. There is
considerable doubt, however, as 10 whether
the government will pay the prices de-
manded by the owners. 1t may take steps
to condemn the ground, as the estimate of
$1,000 for the block, made by E. B. Mar
tindale, who has been the most active in
urging the selection OF this site, will be ex-
ceeded by $4,000, if the government accepts
the property owners terms.
I. N. Richie filed a communication stating
that Block IS, bounded by New York. Della
ware. Ohio and Alabama, can be secured at
a price not exceeding $45O.Ooo. John Wocher
also sent in communication stating that
the north side of Maryland street, between
Meridian and Pennsylvania streets, 4loxl9o
feet, was valued at s3O3,5s0 under the old
assessment, while the new valuation placed
on it by the assessors was 1886, 205.
In Block SO there were eleven tenders or
property, while the department heard moth
ing from the owners Of the Wellington, the
Y. w. c. A, the Tomlinson and public

In these eleven propositions amount to s62o-
