Sioux city brewery and Saloon Cone
bine to Secure Their Conyic-
tion-Money 10 Keep Out
of Court.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 25.-(Special Tel
egram. )-Eugene LutZ, well-known at
torney, and A. d. Brauner, travelling sales
man, we're arrested today and locked in
separate cells at the police station. They
are held under two charges OF conspiracy
and extortion. This is the. outcome of the
trouble between Brauner and the Sioux
City Brewing company. He secured seven
injunctions against saloons where Sioux City
beer was sold, and it Is charged by the
brewing company, which secured the ar
rests, that It Is a blackmailing process, be-
cause Brauner had been discharged from its
employ.
The men have been working together for
some time against the saloons and two
saloon men say they have been obliged
to pay them money to keep out OF
court. The liquor dealers of Sioux City
have organized to prosecute these cases.
Lutz has practiced law here for number
OF years. The present trouble may result
in his disbarment from practice in the
courts of Iowa, II he is convicted. He is
out on bond, but Brauner is still in Jail.
District Judge Dickinson has refused to
transfer the liquor injunction cases under
the state mulct law, to the federal court.
lie admits that the constitutional point
made by the defense is close one. These
cases are likely to be tested in some other
way.

Demnnd for Exhibition Pavilion.

For some time South Omaha business men,
and especially commission merchants, have
endeayored to attract breeders of fancy cat
tie to this point, but owing to the poor ia
cilities for public sales here breeders object
to coming. At the last large sale of finely
bred cattle portion of the horse and mule
barn at the stock yards was used for the
sale, but it's capacity proved entirely made
quate, besides being dark and gloomy. Plans
for a fine pavilion for the sale of fancy stock
were prepared by the stock yards company
a year or more ago and exhibited to COM
mission men and owners of fancy stock, but
that was the end of it. No pavilion has been
built and those who are interested in this
matter are greatly disappointed. The ques-
ton is being asked why the stock yards COM
pany does not go ahead and erect the pa
vilion as contemplated and announced?
A meeting OF the directors of the stock
yards company will be held on December II
and 1t is the intention Of number of these
interested in seeing a good fancy stock mar
ket here to address the directors on the sub
ject of erecting suitable pavilion for sales.
The management worked hard this year try
ing to get breeders Of good stock to come
here, but most of the efforts proved futile,
as owners of fine herds preferred to go to
markets where suitable accommodations
we're offered. 1t is hoped that the directors
of the stock yards company may at the
meeting next month authorize the manage
ment to erect pavilion for the sale and ex-
hibition of fancy stock.

PEACHING NOT PROFITABLE
Smith, Who Gives Up n Former Jail
mate, is Himself Wanted in
Fremont.

About three days ago A. G. Smith, alias
Cockerel, had visions of living easy with
5000 to the good. Now he is looking forward
to serving term in jail. Smith is the man
who saw Ed Shannon here and recognized
in him an escaped convict wanted in Falls
City on the charge of murder He also
thought he remembered reward of 5000 that
was on Shannon's head and he went at once
to the chief of police and 'peached" on his
former jailmate. Both the men were held
in Jail until the sheriff from Falls City came
here and identified Shannon, and at the same
time recognized Smith as man who was
wanted out in the state for burglary Shan
non was taken to Falls City by the sheriff
and Smith stayed in Jail awaiting informa-
ton. Yesterday word was received that
Smith is wanted in Fairmont on the charge
of robbing A. e. Small & Co.'S hardware
store about three months ago. A large
quantity of goods was taken, most OF which
was recovered in the pawnshops in this city.

SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. ]


Business men all over the city seem to
have been awakened by the meeting OF the
Commercial club Friday night. The enthu-
siasm displayed proved infective and yes
terday nearly everyone on the streets was
talking improvements. In connection with a
proper place for club meetings. d. s. Clark
makes the suggestion that building be
erected on n side street near the center OF
the city to be used as meeting place for
the club, and also an auditorium. Mr..
Clark figures that a structure such as he has
In mind can be built for $4,000. with $1,000
additional for the land. His plan is to Sc
cure one hundred men who will agree to sub
scribe $40 each in the enterprise. This will
make $4,000, which, 1t is estimated, will be
sufficient to purchase ground and erect
building.
Mr. Clark seems to think that the big cor
porations here will be willing to take one or
more shares in the proposed concern, and IL
this is done there is no doubt that the sum
mentioned can be raised. 1t Is suggested that
a special committee be appointed to solicit
subscriptions, and this will most likely be
considered by the directors OF the club at an
early date
In connection with the rooms for the Com
mercial club it is suggested that portion OF
the building be set aside for social purposes
and perhaps be rented to the South Omaha
club one story structure Is considered
sufficient by the projectors of this move
ment. Permanent club rooms will mean the
appointment of an assistant secretary VINO
will devote all his time to the business OF
the club and make specially OF enter
tanning visitors who are here looking for
location.
The main room or auditorium can be
rented to conventions. etc., and thus
revenue be derived which will assist ma
terially in paying the running expenses Be-
sides the packers and stock yards, 1t is
figured that the railroads running in here
will be willing to contribute to the erection
and maintenance of such building. Then
come the banks and business houses. Fol-
lowing these will be subscriptions from
public spirited citizens. Taking all these
sources Of revenue into consideration 1t is
thought that there will be little or no diff
ficulty in securing the 1900 which 1t is esti-
mated will be needed for the building.
Another point to be taken UP at once is
the issuing of a prospectus. Very few peo-
pie who live here are able to tell finland
what the value OF the live stock marketed
here is. When Bruce McCulloch made the
statement that last year $57,OOO,OOO worth OF
live stock was sold here the eyes OF many
members OF the club opened with surprise.
Aside from issuing fine prospectus with
illustrations and statistics, it has been sug-
gested that small folder be gotten out with
view to having each business man enclose
the same with his letters. In this way
South Omaha would be advertised all over
the country and at very little expense. AS
the business transacted here this year ex-
ceeds that OF last year, it is probable that
the issuing Of a folder will be put off until
after January /, when figures for 1899 can
be obtained

ayers. A number of names on the early
parishioners' roll were conspicuous by their
absence on the table. For instance, the name
of the earl of Buckinghamshire, who was
Lord Hobart. when he owned a farm near
Lemars; Paget, who married the brilliant
Miss Whitney, leader of the young society
set in New York and Newport; w. Farqu-
har who married a Chicago heiress, but
spends most Of his time now in England.
The women were disappointed at not having
these and other prominent names in pioneer
Iowa history on their table.

MILLER is STILL AT LARGE
New York officers Are Unable to Lo-
cate the Former Head of the
Franklin Institute of Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.---There was tin
sign on the door OF the Franklin institute

F. Miller, the head of the syndicate Yes
terday he disappeared at nom, having
learned that the Kings county grand jury
had indicted him for conspiracy with in
tent to defraud, and that bench warrant
had been issued for his arrest. 1t was sail
that Miller came to the borough of Man
haitian and escaped under the eyes of de-
tectives Some think that he is still In
Manhattan. Others think that he had by
this time left Greater New York far beh nd
either by European steamer or by rail-
road train.
His brother, Louis H. Miller, cashier of
the Franklin syndicate, who was arrested
last night was taken to the court today
and held in $4,000 bail, to answer to the
charge of having aided his brother in de-
frauding creditors, $500 having been found

the sum total of the money intrusted to
Miller will reach an enormous amount
Postoffice inspectors have discovered that
Miller deposited as high as $4,000 a day in
one bank in the lower part Of the city The
record of the money order department shows
that Millers business during the last six
weeks has been growing by leaps and
bounds. Every day he has cashed money
orders aggregating between $4,000 and $1,000
and one day the amount ran up to $4,000.
