A holdup that Melted the perpetrators a
gold watch and some small change occurred
at Forty-eighth and Military avenue be-
tween S and 3 O'Clock Saturday evening.
w. c. L. Thompson. who lives at il4
Nicholas street was stopped by two men
whose descriptions nave been given the
police. and while one held a revolver the
other went through Thompson's pockets
and secured forty cents, some papers and
a gold watch.
Not long after the holdup occurred. Pa
trolman o'Connor arrested two men on a
street car near the place where Thompson
was relieved OF his valuables, and Il is
thought that they may possibly have been
the ~highwaymen- on the car they insisted
upon drinking a bottle Of beer, and when
the conductor told them 10 stop he was
confronted with a revolver In the hands Of
one Of the men.
n place where the men were arrested,
their condition and the fact that one OF
them had a sun causes the police author
tiles to believe that possibly they are the
holdup men. Thompson Win be given a

ROCK ISLAND MAKES PEACE
Comes TO Terms with Omaha shippers,
Who Lift the Embargo
from Road.

The Omaha Commercial club and the
Omaha Grain exchange have issued a joint
circular letter tofthe members Of both ssso-
ciatiens stating that all differences between
these bodies and the Rock Island and
Frisco systems have been adjusted in a
satisfactory manner.
About two years ago # was discovered
that the Rock Island was giving Kansas
City an advantage in the matter Of grain
rates. an advantage which worked to the
detriment Of the grain interests Of Omaha.
The matter was taken up by the Grain
exchange and the Commercial club with
the railroads to see IL il could not be AMIGA
bly, and satisfactorily adjusted. They were
unable to come to any understanding and
the railroads COT tinued TO give Kansas City
the advantage. To try and force these
roads into line for Omaha the heavy
shippers Of Omaha decided they would
withhold all shipments possible from these
roads.
Results came.
The following circular is seif-explsnatory:
COMMERCIAL CLUB OF OMAHA.
OMAHA GRAIN EXCHANGE-OMAHA.
Aug. eG-To our Members We take great
pleasure IN being able TO advise you that
all the differences between the grain in

fact. 50 that. II the routing Of your bust

given 10 You by these organizations. YOU
NAV know that M reason for any discrim-
ination exists At the present time: as the
attitude Of those roads toward the Omaha
grain interests is now just and fair.
On behalf Of the transportation commit

sincere thanks to our members. whose loyal
adherence to the committees and supper
Of their policy has enabled US to reach a

WALSH CONCERNS IN COURT
Receiver is Appointed for Two Coal
Corporations Organized by
Chicago Banker.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Aug. s3-Fore-
closure proceedings against the Southern
Indiana Coal company and the Indiana
Souther Coal compsny were begun today
in the United States circuit court 81 Goshen
Ind. by the First Trust and Savings bank
OF Chicago. owner OF the bonds OF the coal
company to the amount Of approximately
100000. and John X. seifert was appointed
receiver for the properties by Judge Frank
E. Baker.
The complainant in the suit represents
the Chicago Clearing House association.
and the action was brought 20 conserve the
properties OF the company for the benefit
OF the creditors and the investors. The
coal companies were originally controlled
by the Southern Indiana Railway company.
and were a part OF the John r. walsh In
terests in Indiara. John X. Seifert the re-
ceiver. for a number Of years has been the
general manager of the Indiana Southern
Coal company. The filing Of the bill and
the appointment Of the receiver brings the
coal company within the jurisdiction Of
the federal courts. which has already been
extended over the affairs Of the Southern
Indiana Railway compan through the APP
pointment Of A. ]. Carpenter as receiver.
The petition for the appointment Of a
receiver was presented by Judge o. B.
Prentice OF Indiana. one Of the counsel
who filed the bill on which the receiver was
appointed for the Southern Indiana Rail
way company in Chicago.
The action was brought in Indiana, as all
the properties Of the two coal companies
are in this state. The bondholders desired
that the adjustment Of the affairs of the
coal companies be kept separate from the
system OF difficulties Of railroads, and so
began a distinct proceeding instead OF seek
ing TO nave the railway receivership ex-
tended over the coal companies.
In the development Of the mines Of the
coal companies after they were controlled
by Mr.. Walsh, the Southern Indiana rail-
way was an important factor.

BASKET FULL OF AUTO CHIPS
Fragments of n Machine Are Brought
Home from Gretna by Couple
of Theater Men.

When Manager Monaghan of the Boyd
perceived two members OF the theater staff,
c. L. Dixon, electrician, and Parnell L.
Mangan. treasurer. enter the box office
yesterday with a basket between them. an
nouncing they had a basket full Of au-
tomobiles. he concluded the men had got
stage struck" and written a new comedy
which they were going TO ask him TO try
cut" Just one thing kept Mr., Monaghan
from giving credence to this thought and
that was the receipt Of a message earlier
In the day announcing that Dixon.s au-
tomobile had been blown to pieces down at
Gretna.
Dixon and Mangan rode from Omaha TO
Gretna, il seems. Friday and were eating
breakfast at Gretna Saturday morning in
preparation OF continuing their journey,
when bang they heard a terrific roar.
The men remembered they had left their
auto hitched out in front. To the auto. or
rather TO the place where they had left
i, they promptly directed their steps. There
was no auto 20 D. found. There were pieces
of an auto to be found on every hand,
however. And these p.e-e rs Messrs. Dixon
and Msnsan sadly gathered up. They
scrambled around on the ground for about
fifteen minutes and managed to pick up
enough fragments &c fin a small grape
basket. This was the lead q grief they
lugged into Mr.. Monaghan's office.
Something wrong with the iiluper. was
about the best that could be gotten out OF
the gentlemen. At any rate the machine
exploded. probably from a leak somewhere,
speaking in the vernacular Of the laity.
News Of the explosion preceded Dixon and
Mangan to Omaha II was that the ma
chine was wrecked and Dixon seriously
injured. and so when Mr.. Dixon showed
up there was still room for congratulation.
