nation Saturday.

.Emulating Columbus, DeSota, the Cabots
and other Spanish, French and English ex-
plorers Of old, Mayo Dahlman. the park
commissioners and other city officials will
journey to Cutoff lake Saturday afternoon
and formally take possession of the land
surrounding 1t in the name of the city of

ground to signify the city's claim, as did
the early day ~discoverers. The csre-
monies will take place at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon and any interested persons are
invited to be present.
Just what the formalities will be at the
lake have not as yet been decided upon,
but the mayor will declare the land to be
the property OF the city OF Omaha and TO
be used forever as a public park to be
known as the Levi Carter park. In his
address he will also officially express the
thanks and appreciation Of the people of
the city to Mrs. salina c. Carter for her
munlficent gift of $4,000 with which TO buy
the land surrounding the lake for The park.

Lobeck, Attorney Burnam, COMMISSIONS
Cornish and others will probably make
short talks.
When land has been taken for other parks
in Omaha there have been no formal cere-
monies, possession being declared by the
grading crew sent TO begin work on the
improvements. But as the Levi Carter
park project is much larger and more i'm
portant, the park commissioner deemed
1t advisable to hold appropriate ceremonies.

CHARLES MOOSE INNOCENT
Former Justice of Peace VtDdtcates
Himself, Proving He Ia Not
nick Taylor.

Charles Moose, former Justice Of the
peace in Omaha, was indicated when he
was taken before County Judge Leslie
Thursday on a burglary charge. He proved
he was not Dick Taylor and was dis
charged. Meanwhile the real Dick Taylor
against whom the charge was filed Is at
large.
Moose owes his trouble to his effort to
be genial with a Lincoln sleuth. He was in
Lincoln shortly after the burglary and a
detective in plain clothes, after cycling him
carefully, approached and held out his
hand.
Hello Dick Taylor" said the detective.
Moose was in a comfortable mood that
morning and a little matter like a name
could not stand between him and anyone
who wanted to be friendly, so he answered,
Hello and began talking to the detective.
The latter knew Dick Taylor was wanted
here so he locked Moose up and sent down
here for an officer. Moose was brought
back under the impression he was using
the name, Taylor. When the police officers
saw him they realized a mistake had been
made and turned Moose loose.

NEBRASKA CITY. Nsb., Sept. 1O.-tspe-

train from Lincoln yesterday morning
had a narrow escape from being wrecked
and thrown into the deep bed OF a dry
creek near NehawkR- The train was trav-

when the trucks OF the tank attached to
the engine jumped the track and
ploughed through the timbers of the
bridge and ran out TO the edge Of the
timbers, where the wheels struck some
thing solid and ran back TO the side Of
the rails and crossed the remainder Of
the bridge close to the rails, cutting off
the ties. The train was stopped after II
had crossed the bridge and after an
hours delay the tank wheels were re-
placed on the rails and the train came
on to Union. This is the bridge where
a big engine about a year ago broke
through and killed Engineer Peggy
Young and his fireman. The ravine is
some twenty feet deep which this
bridge spans, and II the engine had broke
through the bridge 1t is likely that not
a single passenger of the many on the
train would have been left alive to tell
the tale. All were badly frightened when
they saw what a close call they had.
