UP to the time of the civil war
ULYSSES S. Grant was practical
" unknown. Then fame came
upon him suddenly and over
whelmingly. 1t was as though all OF
the earlier part of his life had been
waiting time, a preparation. once IN
the glare, he was there to stay. NO
more escape for him. He must play
his part hepceforth with the eyes OF
the world upon him. 1t is questionable
If Grant enjoyed this publicity, BUT,
whatever his personal feelings, he had
the logged determination to go through
with whatever was thrown in his way.
The remark of his wife that, ME-
Grant is an obstinate man." showed
prominant quality that made Tor the
generals success. This trait was
shown even in his boyhoOd. The story
"a often told Of his feat of loading logs
unaided and alone. Usually seVeral
men did this work, and the duty OF the
slender lad was to haul the logs 10
the sawmill One day he found tue
men absent. Instead of going home, as
most boys would have done, he deter
mined to do the loading himself, so IN
vented continuance which by the ala
Of one of the horses enabled him 10
perform the task. This act made him
famous in the nelghbOrhOod.
Bulldog tenacity, sheer hanging on
whatever befel, persistence that never
let go-this seemed to be the FREEDOM
inant characteristic of Grant. He did
not know how to quit. Once started
ON a task, he seemed to have a phys
ical inability Of stopping until the
thing was accomplished. If he could
not smash his antagonist, he would
wear him out. He never planned Tor
retreat Perhaps he did not know now
TO retreat. His plan seemed to be 10
hit first and keep hitting, TO drive on
and on till he won, TO fight ana sui
fight until either his antagonist or HIM
self was incapacitated for farther con
flict. 81 propose to fight it out on this
line If II takes all summer" he WlreO
to Washington, and the succeeding
campaign showed that he meant al
and q little more than he said.

Little Alfreds mother had sent him
TO the dancing school. He came home
In high spirits.
"Wen, Alfred" said his father, "how
did you like dancing? Did you find II

"Oh. no." answered the little fellow;
"its easy enough. All you have TO 90
is to keep turning around and wiping
your feet"

would never find the body because
he had buried 1t in such an out OF the

never find 1t. and II perchance they
did, the members of the Black Hand
society in Pittsburg would come to
the Omaha jail, break It down and
rescue him. He didn't fear the law

Bavori listened with wrapt inter.

John L. Gehr, John Milner, E. @.
Furniss and H. s. Andrews -
The above WAS the decision reached
by the coroner's jury which sat at
the inquest held in the Deibert par.
lors yesterday afternoon and is one Of
the strongest verdicts ever rendered in
murder case in this county. The
verdict WAS handed in at O'Clock
last evening after sitting on the case
from 2 O'Clock in the afternoon.
The jury was hung up for nearly An
hour, but finally reached the con
clusion as above set forth.
The coroner merely heard evidence
yesterday winch tended to establish
the absolute identity of the three
dead persons ho were then lying in
the morgue. The bodies Of the Pal
metto woman and BufYetti we're turned
over to the county ply 81 clan last
evening and they were buriod by
the county. The body Of Dominick
was held and will be inferred by
friends today in the Hig hland oeme-
terry. He was we'll known In the
camps and had many friends there
who will not argee to have him plac-
ed In his last resting place at county
expense.
A search is still being made by the
officers for the body of Joe Minichiel-
10. but they do not hope to find it
unless the hiding place is told to them
by Bavori. This man made too clean
u job Of the last murder to ever
be caught unless he makes self.c
session. Officer Furniss Is Of the
opinion, however that Joe's body
will not be found on the Bavori ranch.
There are many reasons why he
thinks thus. Bavori's wagon had
been traced on the Santa Fe railroad
to point east Of the soda springs ;the
wagon WAS found bloody the morning
after the murder Bavori is accusing
Joe with the series of murders and
therefore would not bury the body
with the others and would exercise
great care as to its disposition and he
had all night to work on the burial.
He was seen In the neighborhood of
the soda springs late on the night Of
Jan. 9 and Officer Furniss says he Is
on the right track where he Ia search
ing the river just Off the Santa Fe
rightof- way.

and is the first time that the actual
facts NJ they occurred have been

only talked with him few minutes

deeds. Sendesky represented himself
