DAYTON, o., Oct. 23.-As he was board
ing a train for New York City here tonight

have been a forgery.
amount of his bail was not fixed. 1t was
said by his attorney tonight that if his
client was not released tomorrow he will
institute habeas corpus proceedings.
In a statement issued tonight Brandon
burg says he had the proper authority
from Mrs. Cleveland and Mr.. Hastings, CO.
executor of the Cleveland estate, before he
sold the article to the Times and further
more asks IL &c is reasonable to suppose
that any sane man would falsify the utter
ances of an ex-president of the United

City to give District Attorney Jerome adj
ditional evidence. He says the arrest was
made by those interested in offsetting the
influence of Mr.. Cleveland's utterances,
the object being ito secure a dramatic

ROD AND GUN CLUB TO BUILD
Holding Company to he Organized
TO Finance the Proposed
improvements,

To build a new club house and acquire
larger grounds at an expenditure Of $4,000
was the decision reached by the Omaha
Rod and Gun club at a special meeting
held at the Creighton institute last night.
The interest of the club in the PROPOSE
ton was shown by the number who an
swered the call of the president, John A.
Scott, the first floor audience room of
the institute being filled with enthusiastic
members
As a. result of the deliberations and dis
cussion which held the club for more than
two hours it was decided to form a realty
corporation to acquire the new property
and hold 1t for the club, as the latter cor
p~oration is hampered by an authorized
capital stock of only $4,000. More than
$1,000 worth of stock in the new holding
company was subscribed at the meeting
and arrangements were made for commit
tees to take up the work of soliciting the
additional amount necessary. 1t is ex-
pected that the necessary amount of stock
will be subscribed within a short time, as
the membership Of the club is now larger
than at any time in its history and its
financial affairs are in a Furnishing con-
dition, as was shown by the report of the
treasurer, A. p. whitmore, which was
read last night.
Mr.. Scott addressed the club at some
length, explaining what had been done by
the president and directors in the way OF
providing larger grounds, and with the
aid OF a map pointed out the tracts which
have already been secured either by OPP
ton, purchase or permanent lease, for the
club.
Fifteen acres embracing East Omaha
park have already been secured and ne
are pending for the purchase
of additional tracts.
1t il thought that the initiation fees and
yearly dues of the club will be raised in
the near future. The matter was discussed
last night, but no action will be taken I'M
til the annual meeting I'm February.
President Scott expressed himself as
more than pleased with the showing made
and expects the matter to be pushed to
completion in a few months. Among other
which are contemplated for the
coming year are a dancing pavilion ana
bathing beach, both Of which will be ready
for use by next spring.

DIES MONIES. Oct. 8.-(Special.)-Pss
serger coaches on the interurban lines out
Of this city to Perry and to Fort Dodge
came into collision within the city limits
this morning and seriously injured three
persons. The two interurbans leave the
city over the same line Of the city railway.
The brakes on the Fort Dodge car refused
to operate at q curve as the two were
leaving the city and the Perry car, which
was behind, ran into the other one. The
windows of the cars were all broken and
both cars were badly injured, though
neither was overturned. All the passen-
gers were shaken up. E. V. Kittles, con-
ductor on the Boone car, had his wrist
broken, his shoulder wrenched and his
arm bruised. H. NJ. Mcdonald, motorman
on the Boone car, had his body bruised
and his leg injured. Mrs. H.. r. Csughey
of Ames had a shoulder broken. Mcdonald
was in a similar accident a year and a
half ago and had a leg broken.
Students of the colleges and universities
of the state will. make an appeal to the
Iowa legislature next winter to have the
laws changed so that students can vote at
their temporary residence places in the
college towns without the necessity Of GO
ing home. At Iowa CITY and other state
NllC pOyS nave asked
for a two days vacation that they may
return home and vote and generally this
Will be granted. But as the attendance
at the universities increases and the politi-
cal passes have been cut off in recent
years, the demand is great for the right
OF students to vote at the college towns.
Eastern capitalists are making an effort
to arrange for the complete reorganization
of the First National bank at Carroll. If

of reorganization. The United States bank
examiner is at work on the books and

w. L. Culbertson, was held today
