MANS POCKETS FULL OF GOLD
Missing Saloon Keeper Found in Rail-
road Yards is Identified by
Money in His Possession

N. w. Peterson. proprietor of a saloon at
Twenty-ffth and N streets, South Omaha,
was picked up in a state of collapse on the
Union Pacific railroad tracks Friday after
noon by Patrolman Glover. Peterson was
suffering from the effects Of whisky fits.
Being unable to give an account of himself,
he was taken to the police station TO
sober up.
The officers who searched the man were
surprised upon finding in his pockets $500
in gold and silver coins. There were no pa
pers to disclose his identity; so he was locked
up, the money having been placed in the Jail
strong box for safe keeping.
A few hours later the cashier of the
Schlitz Brewing company asked the police
to keep a lookout for Peterson, the South
Omaha saloonkeeper, who was thought 10
have gone to Kansas City with a small
bunch of money given him to settle the
FIRMS accounts in the Magic city. Peterson
had been drinking, the cashier said, and as
he did not return to his place of business
after leaving Schlitz's office with the money
there were reasons to believe he had gone
to the Missouri city while too intoxicated
to know what he was doing.
When informed that a man corresponding
in description to Peterson was in Jail, en-
ployes of the brewing company called at the
station and identified the stranger with the
money as the saloonkeeper. Peterson was
released from custody yesterday.

TRIED TO SELL STOLEN CLOTH
Strangers Taken into Custody Having
In Possession Dress Goods
Stolen from Freight Car.

Dennis Hurley was arrested on the street
yesterday by Detectives Jorgeson and
Dempsey on suspicion Of completely in the
theft OF a lot of dry goods belonging TO NJ.
e. Smith & Co., from a freight car in the
Northwestern yards, billed to a merchant in
Manning, la. A few hours later he was
positively identified as a man known to have
had some Of the stolen property in his pos
session the day after the robbery.
The arrest Of Hurley Is the second made
in connection with the theft. On Saturday
afternoon, September 16, a man giving the
name Of Fred Manderson, was taken into
custody, suspected Of having stolen two
bolts OF dress goods he was trying to sell
to the proprietor of the White Front
saloon. Three men entered the saloon each
carrying large packages. Two Of the trio
stepped into the card room at the rear,
taking the bundles with them. The other
waited until the proprietor finished serving
a customer, then producing some samples
of cloth, offered to sell at a very low price
the bolts from which they we're taken.
The proprietor, f~eigning to be interested
in the material, sent one OF his employees to
| notify the policeman on the beat. Before
the officer came. the two men in the card
room became alarmed and made a hasty
exit via the back door, leaving one of the
bundles. The patrolman arrested the
salesman with the samples and confscated
the package. Henderson was the mans
name. He said he was a laborer from New
York. The bundle contained two bolts of
dress goods. Dennis Hurley, who was ar
rested this morning, was identified by the
! saloon proprietor as one OF the men who
were in the card room when Henderson
tried to sell him the goods.
The cloth was identified by clerks from NJ.
e. Smith & Co.'S dry goods store as a part
OF a consignment shipped to a Manning (Ia.)
merchant named Thompson, September 10.
At some time after the goods left the store
and before they reached Thompson's place
of business a part Of them, valued at $3.50,
was stolen. The freight car seals had not
been broken when the consignment reached
its destination, so the police believe the
cloth was stolen before it was loaded on
the car. A complaint charging Hurley and
Henderson with grand larceny will be filed
this afternoon.

Hearing of Injunction Postponed.

The hearing of the injunction just brought
by the Kansas City, Pitsburg & Gulf
line against a number Of connections will be
taken up before Judge Thayer in United
States circuit court at st. Louis again next
Wednesday. At the first sitting Of the court
in the case the defendants denied that they
had conspired to boycott the complainant
road. They alleged that the Gulf line had
cut rates to such a low figure that it was
impossible for them to operate in c~onjunc-
ton with it at a profit and, therefore, not
jointly, but individually, each road had de-
ermined to refuse to longer transport the
freight of the complainant road at the tariff
rates in force at the time the suit was in
stituted. At the conclusion of the reading of
the answers and afidavits of defendant
counsel for the Gulf line requested
time in which to prepare affidavits In re-
buttal. The court granted an extension of
time until Wednesday, the eth inst, wher
the hearing will be resumed.
The Omaha roads which are interested in
this case as defendants are the Missouri Pa
cifc, Wabash, Burlington and Rock Island.
The Union Pacific took a neutral stand dur
ing the aggressive campaign which was in
stituted against the Gulf line and and con-
sequently is not a participant in the present
legal controversy.
