Of Harrison Clark and Calvin Vain, which |
Is to occur Monday. Since the time of the
preliminaries Gathright has been held

members of the gang have been retained
in the penitentary at Lincoln. The chief
arrived in South Omaha with his charge
at s:45 and he was placed in the isolation
cell Of the city jail The chief remarked
on the fast time made on the trip. He left
Fremont at s:45 and was in the jail in

little effect on his appearance. He has the
same boyish. inquiring look as at the time
of his former appearance.

Gil1in Makes Statement.
]. j. Gillin, city clerk, states regarding
the rumor which has gained circulation to
the effect that Mr.. O'Neil had received his
warrant for the city hall site as ordered by
the city council last Wednesday night that
the warrant as It was made out and signed
by the mayor, is still in the vault in the
city clerks office and will remain there UNI
til the court gives permission to sign the
same. He wishes further 10 state that on
all usual occasions he is willing to carry
out the wishes and orders OF the council,
but knowing the circumstances of this case
and the previous difficulty encountered
