STICKNEYS PREFERRED STOCK
Circular Letter Tells of Disposition
of Fourteen Million Dollars
of New Issue.

The promised circular of the Chicago
Great Western giving the proposed dsposi-
tion of the $14CO0,OOO of preferred stock 10
be authorized by the directors next Sep
tember has been issued.
The new stock will be transferred to the
Mason City & Fort Dodge railroad, con-
troled and operated by the Great Western,
in return for an equal amount of noncumu-
lative preferred stock to be issued by the
Fort Dodge company.
The Mason City & Fort Dodge railroad
was acquired in 1902 by the Great Western
under a contract for 100 years from April
/. 1901. The mileage of the Fort Dodge
company is from Oelwein to Council Bluffs.
2GO miles; from Clarion, Ia, to Hayfield.
Mimi, 100 miles, and branches, eighteen
miles; total, 37S miles.
This is the second issue of Great Western
securities on account of the Fort Dodge
road. an increase of $2O.O0O.OOO in the Great
Western common stock having been autho-
rlzed in February, 1903, for the acquisition
OF the lines already leased. OF this $50. .OOO.-
COO. however, only 100000 has so far been
issued
The Great Western thus disposes of its
own additional stock without obtaining ad-
ditional properties directly, but 1t secures
81, COO coo Of preferred stock that Is prac-
tically Great Western issue, and that
may be sold for the extension or better
ment of the Great Western system.
An interesting question still remains, ac-
| cordingly as to what use will be made Of
the proceeds to be derived ultimately from
| the proposed increase of the Chicago Great
Western shares"

JACK CRAWFORD, POET SCOUT
Famous Black Hills Correspondent of
The Bee Now u Successful
Lecturer.

Captain Jack Crawford the poet scout
was in Omaha for few hours yesterday
afternoon, and spent a portion of his time
here calling on Edward and Andrew Rose
water and talking over the days of thirty
years ago, when the captain was The
Bees correspondent in the Black Hills and
with the Crook expedition against the
Sioux Indians. Those were lively days for
the captain, for he was kept busy between
Indians and his newspaper work in the
Black Hills. He was Crooks chief of
scouts in the campaign, but before that
he had given the white men who were
pressing into the Black Hills the benefit
of his services by forming a band Of scouts
who aided many a man beset by Indians.
He laid out the town of Custer and Sc
cured the name of the gallant general for
the embryo metropolis and did other things
that keep his memory green in that sec
tion of the world, and all the while he was
keeping the world posted on the doings in
the new Eldorado through his letters To
The Bee.
Captain Crawford beat his hunting knife
into a fountain pen and laid aside his six
shooter long ago, and has since estab-
| lished his name high in the list of Amer.
| lean writers and lecturers. Just now he
| is devoting himself exclusively to the plat
form, and begins today at York. with his
first lecture to the Chautauqua there From
York he goes to Wisconsin, and from Wis
consin to Minnesota, and from Minnesota
back to Wisconsin, and for the next thret
months he will be busy as beaver, hav
ing already booked forty-five lectures to b,
delivered TO as many Chautauqua
He is looking younger and better thi
time than he has for years. and no on,
looking at his long tawny name. his bright
clear eye and FULL bronzed cheek, woulC
think that he was in the prime of his man
hood thirty years ago, or that he had en-
dured the hardships and privations Incl

BRECKNER CASE WITH JURY
Case Submitted Late I'm Afternoon
and at bedtime Jury stin
Deliberatiug.

The case of George Breckner. the l6-year-
old boy charged with manslaughter for the
shooting OF Arthur Kuhn at South Omaha
last November, was given to the jury at
4;SO In the afternoon and the twelve men
are still celebrating over a verdict.
Young Breckner and a brother were out
hunting with a shotgun and met some
other boys in a cave below the South
Omaha city limits. Some sort of an alter
cation had taken place before the arrival
of the Breckner boys and after few
minutes talk about the quarrel George
Breckner made a motion to throw the gun
to his shoulder. The little Kuhn boy,
younger than Breckner, said not to shoot,
and as he spoke the gun was discharged.
The Breckner boy claimed he had no in
tention of shooting, that the trigger caught
on his coat sleeve and the load was dis
charged. The victim of the shooting lived
until next day.
Former County Attorney English de-
Tended young Breckner, while the case for
the state was presented by County Attor-
ney Slabaugh and Assistant Fitch. Two
days were consumed in getting jury and
in hearing the evidence. The parents of
both boys were in court and Mr.. Kuhn,
the father of the dead boy, took an active
interest in the prosecution.
Mr.. English made a hard fight 20 save
his little client. His speech to the jury
was a strong plea for mercy and a saving
of the future life of the living boy. since
the dead lad or his parents could not be
in any way benefited by condemning
Breckner to a felon's cell The county at
torney and his assistant demanded a vim
dication of the law and a lesson to other
careless gun carriers on the sacredness of
human life.
Young Breckner has been out on bail
since the killing.

ROOSEVELT MEN PREVAIL
Effort Of Coal Dealers to Discourage Rate
Legislation is Defeated.
MAJORITY SIT DOWN HARD ON MOTION
Resolutions Opposing National Legis-
Iation Observation-Disclosures of
Existing Laws Favored
when IL Comes TO vote.

Interest rose TO a high pitch and dis
cussion waxed warm at Friday morning s
session of the Coal Dealers association of
made to persuade the dealers Of the two
states to pass resolutions opposing national
railway rate legislation
The resolutions were offered by j. H.
Rogers, sales agent for the Sheridan Coal
company. They embodied the sentiment
that the national regulation of railway
freight traffic would result in danger to
the coal trade, a crippling Of general in
dustry and a localization of manufacturing
interests The enforcement of existing
laws was favored but any legislation TAX
ing from the railroads the power of initia-
tive was vigorously opposed The adjust
ment of rates may be better undertaken
with the proper local officials of the indi-
vidual roads, said the resolutions.
The situation was rendered more interest
Ing by the presence of a small group of
men who were said to be representatives of
the railroads
Mr.. Rogers said that body of politicians
at Washington would know about as much
concerning traffic needs in Nebraska as he
knew concerning Alaska. He spent much
time In trying to convince his hearers that
rates would be higher under government
regulation. f. p. Loomis and Randall
