Milwaukee, Dec. 3O.-Something has happened
in the American association as result of the
split in2the Chicago meeting Just what 1t Is
does not appear the surface, but 1T is def
nitely known that the reserve fund of the as,
ISOLATION is tied up in the st. Paul bank where
Mike Kelley has his funds.
During the playing season it is the duty Of
the chairman of the board of directors to collect
a 8 per cent fund from all of the clubs in the
association, to be used for any emergency which
may develop. President Havenor Of the Milwau-
kee club has received check for his share
of the fund, which is now being distributed all
chance of claims against the association being
ended.
Bookkeeper in Way.
The managers of the Columbus, Toledo and
Indianapolis clubs received their checks in time
to present them for payment yesterday at the
st. Paul bank where Kelleys funds are kept
When they presented their checks they were in
formed that the checks gould not be honored.
During the season Kelley had bookkeeper
who had asked for $125 which he did not get.
The result was that the disappointed bookkeeper
garnished the funds which Kelley had on de-
post. THIS completely ties up the association s
reserve funds, and it will be some time before
the matter can be settled. =

THAT the said George Stadler came to
his death at about 2:3O o'clock Sunday

George Stadler was carpenter by
trade and worked i'll the Plattsmouth

with his family removed to Louisville,
where he worked in the stone quarry for
Newell & Atwood for some eight years,
while his wife ran boarding house. For
some time their home life has not been
very pleasant, and, it is said. that his
i'll treatment of his wife caused her to
pack up her effects and. with her five
children. remove back to the home of
her brother, where she and her children,
aged from II years to Z months, were

When her husband returned home Sat
urday evening and found the family gone
he procured a livery team and drove to
the home of his brother-in-law and de-
manded admittance but being refused
he said that he would break in and kill
the hole family. He broke the screen

other, when the gun was fired and the
fatal discharge crashed through the door
and entered the left side of the neck and

RACE ALONG NORTH PLATTE
Union Pacific Will Parallel Exten-
sion Announced by Burlington.

An Omaha dispatch says: The Union
Pacific Railroad has filed amended artl-
cles with the secretary of state for the
extension of its lines up the North Platte
valley from the city of North Platte. This
extension will be 115 miles long and will
parallel the new line to be built by the
Burlington. announcement of which was
made recently The Burlington will follow
the valley on the south side OF the river
and the Union Pacific on the north side.
1t is stated unOfficially that the con-
tract for the building of the Union Pa
cific extension has already been let to
Stroud Il Co, of Denver. The country
about to be opened up has been regarded
as a fruitful pasture for railroad extern
sions, and it is expected that there will
a race to reach the North Piatt coun-
try by the Hartman and Hill systems.
Right of way men have been in the field
for some time and the announcement of
extensions by both roads is the culmina
ton of strong competition to reach
promising country which up to this time
has been without railroad facilities.
