NEGRO STEALS GIRL IN DARING
MANNER AND MAY BE LYNCHED
Continued From First Page.

through lookup alley the mud of that
thoroughfare will assume a crimson
tinge.
Shortly after sunset detectives and
officers began to collect at the central
station ostensibly to visit with central
officers. but in reality to be ready to
defend the negro if a mob attempted to
take vengeance. 1t was even rumored
that the man had been taken to the
county Jail but the officers denied
this.
The crime for which Hayes was ar
rested is one of the most atrocious in
the history of the city. He broke into
the residence of Mrs. j. p. Steele, 1414
Sixth street southeast early yesterday
morning and literally stole 13-year-old
Ruby Steele. He carried the girl near
ly block and was frightened away
by men who heard the girls screams
for help.
The Steele girl occupied a room on
the second floor of her home and a
window of it opened directly upon the
roof of summer kitchen. The negro
climbed over the roof to the window
and cut away the screen. He then
made his way to the girls bedside and
placed handkerchief over her face.
She awakened and screamed for help.
Knocks Her Mother Down.
Instead of being frightened away,
the negro grabbed her and started to
carry her through the window. The
girls frantic cries attracted her mother
and as Mrs. Steele ran into the room
she saw the negro carrying the girl
through the window. The mother
grabbed the girl by the foot and main
tanned her hold until stunning blow
from the negroes fist laid her low on
the floor.
The negro then carried the girl to the
roof and threw her to the ground several
feet below. He jumped to the ground
himself, and. picking the girl up in his
arms, ran through corn patch at the
rear of the house to the barn where he
was employed. Arriving at the barn, he
sat down on the girls body and kept his
hand over her mouth to keep her from
screaming. Once the girl began to strug-
gle, but he choked her until she was al
most insensible. AT this juncture man
who had been called by Mrs Steele ap-
preached and the negro ran away.
Detectives Brown and Doyle were sum
moned and they found a handkerchief
in the girls room which was marked IF.
A. b. Fred A. Benjamin, who was
HAYES employer identified the handker-
chief as one that had been given to the
negro several days ago. The detectives
then went to Hayes room on Fourteenth
street just around the corner from the
Steele residence, and found that the ne
gro had not been in his room, and that
his bed had been unoccupied- They sent
out general alarm and then proceeded to
watch the room and the barn where
Hayes was employed.
Hayes Is Arrested.
Shortly before 6 o'clock this morning
the officers heard key in the barn door

N[BRASkANS ARE
DISCUSSING FUSION
Prospects for the Democratic
and PopuIist Conventions
Today.

COLUMBUS, Neb., Aug. 24.-The DEM
ocratic state convention will convene to-
morrow evening 1t is expected that
Judge Sullivan, at present an associate
on the supreme bench, will be renominat
ed. There are also two university regents
to be nominated County and Judicial con-
ventions throughout the state not already
held We're held today. They indicate har-
mony in the Democratic convention on
the question of fusion, and 1t Is
now anticipated that there will be no OPP
position to it. The Populists have al
ready expressed their willingness to ac-
cept Judge Sullivan as their candidate for
supreme judge, and the Democrats are
expected to concede the minor places on
the ticket to the Populists. There is some
opposition to reaffirming the Kansas City
platform as a whole, but it will hardly
be strong enough to make itself felt, and
the influence of Mr.. Bryan's supporters is
expected to predominant.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Aug. 24.-The
Populist state convention will meet here
tomorrow. The indications are that the
only contest will be on resolutions. That
the convention will come out squarely for
Populistic principles, as enunciated in the
Omaha platform of 1892, there is little
doubt. Former Senator Allen will no
doubt be a member of the resolutions
committee. He has already placed him
self strongly on record as favoring in
dependent action of his party and will
work to that end.

LABOR CONFERENCE
PROVES FUTILE
Strike Is Still On, and Men Are
Prepared to Stay Out
Till Spring.

The conference between committees
representing the Laborers' union and
Master Builders association yesterday
afternoon was without results
The strike is still on and settlement
never appeared more remote. The labor
ers are not disappointed They presented
their case to the committee of contrac-
tors. hoping that it might at least lead to
a further consideration The principal
point that the laborers insist on is 25
cents an hour. At the conference yester-
day they said they would be willing to
have established a grievance committee;
reserve the right for the employer to en-
ploy any person, but give preference to
union man.
The committee from the contractors
would not entertain the proposition, and
it is believed that this will conclude for
some time at least any effort on the part
of the strikers to reach any agreement.
Shortly after the conference Herman
Lilien, of Chicago president of the In
ternationa union. left for Indianapolis to
attend a labor meeting. He will return
to Minneapolis Saturday, and it is very
probable that there will be some interest
ing developments about that time.
During the morning Mr.. Lilien called on
some of the contractors in company with
Robert Wilson, international organizer,
and Philip Carlin, secretary treasurer of
the Building Trades council.
The various features of the trouble
were gone over, but after concluding the
trip the members of the committee felt
satisfied that the afternoon conference
would bring no results.
AT the meeting of the building labor
ers in the evening the result of the con-
ference was reported. The men showed
no signs of disappointment. On the other
hand, one of the officers said at the con-
clusion of the meeting that the strike
would not be broken.
IF the contractors think they are going
TO starve us out. they are mistaken" he
said. Our men are getting along nicely.
Nearly all are working, and we have only
to make application, and we will secure
So a week for every idle man. The fact
that two representatives of the Interna-
tional union have already visited us
shows what an interest is taken in our
case. The international strike fund is in
excellent shape, and this is constantly
growing, as ours is the only trouble on at
present.
of the contractors want things to be
closed until spring, all right. We can
stand it if they can. We know that this
is bad for the business interests of the
city. but our demand is only fair one.
AT nine hours work it means only 1925 d
day, and with the present high prices of
rent and provisions no one will say it is
too much"

ted mile in two minutes, lowering
by 2A~ seconds the worlds record for
trotting, which had been held since
1901 by Creseeus, 2:02A.
So that no breeze might interfere,
Sanders brought out the daughter of
Sidney Dillon for the attempt early m
the day.
For pacemakers there We're two run
ming horses hitched to road carts,
Peggy From Paris, driven by Doc
Tanner, and Carrie Nation, driven by
Scott Mccoy
The first score was fruitless, Lou

| nodded for him to say go and, turn
| ing to Sanders, called to him to come
along. Tanner kept Peggy From Paris
| directly in front of the peerless chest
nut trotter, while Mccoy lay at her
wheel.
In this way the trio went to the
quarter pole in 30A seconds. With
never a skip, Lou~> Dillon went SO
smooth gated down the back stretch
as to lead those not timing the mile
to believe that her speed was not
alarmingly fast. The half was clicked

Around the turn to the three-quar
tiers pole the clip quickened, the third
quarters being in 30A seconds, max
ing that mark of her journey in 1871.
Faster and faster came Tanner with
the runner and right with him trot-
ted the handsome California bred mare.
Sanders was sitting perfectly still, but
Mccoy was crying aloud to his run
ner to cheer on Lou Dillon.
To the amazement of all the quar-
ter was drove in 20 seconds, thus max
ing the mile in the wonderful time of
two minutes
When Sanders logged the mare back
to the wire those who had witnessed
the performance leaped to their feet
and sent forth cheer after cheer. Lou
Dillon apparently was as fresh as
though she had only been out for a
jogging exercise
Sanders said he fully believed that
before the season closed he would
drive the mare in L: SO or better.
1t was announced that on Friday
Major Delmar would go against the
gelding record for trotters, 2:03A, held
by The Abbott.

Colored Boy Supposed to Have Perished
10 River Is Very Much Alive.
When messengers went to the home of
Frank Bradley, colored, sos Fifteenth
avenue SOUTH, yesterday to tell the boy
parents that the body of their son who
was supposed to have been drowned last
Friday had been found floating in the
river, they were met at the door by the
boy himself, who maintained that he had
not been drowned. 1t then developed that
the body was that of some other colored
person, and another mystery was given
the police to solve.
Last Friday Bradley and a number of
companions were bathing in the river
near the Tenth avenue bridge, when the
colored boy ventured out into deep water
and disappeared from view. The boys
supposed that he had been drowned, and
one little fellow went so far as to rifle
the pockets of the clothing left on the
bank. They went to Bradley's home and
reported the drowning and nothing more
was seen of the boy until this morning.
The river was dragged for his body but
it was not there. for the boy had not
been drowned.
1t now appears that Bradley had sue
ceeded in getting out of the river and
had managed to keep out of sight of his
companions. as Well as out of sight of
his friends. until this morning, when he
thought that the joke had gone far
enough and returned home. He was
greatly amused when the officer told him
that his body had been found in the river

1t afterwards developed that the body
found in the river which was supposed
to be that of the coolred boy, was in
reality that of a colored man about TWEEN
ty-f1ve years of age. There was no cloth
ing on the body and nothing by which
it could be identified unless it was a ring
which he wore on his right hand. He
was about six feet tall. weighed $50
