a program which pleased every person in

the classic and semi-clRssical music and
enough OF the popular "raggy" tunes 10

George NJ Conan sort OF music.
The solo work OF the evening was espe-
clally pleasing. Bowen Church, the bands
conductor, played a polka movement, in
which his mastery OF the cornet showed
to q great advantage. Signor Tagialayori
played as a baritone horn solo. "The Even.

DR.. Crippen Was
a Boyhood Chum
of an Omaha Man
Frank DevOr of KlOpp & Bartlett
Printing Company Knew Him
When a Boy.

Frank Devor, superintendent OF the Klopp
& Bartlett Printing company, has been
wondering for many years what had be-
come of a boyhood playmate of his. He
found out when the newspapers began to
print accounts of the pursuit of DR.. Haw-
ley H. Crippen and of his arrest.
II knew Hawley Crippen thirty-six years
ago. said Mr.. Devor. He was then ma
myself boy of 10 years and we both Wis
tied one summer at a farm a few miles
north Of Elkhart, Ind. my boyhood home.
Elkhart is near the Michigan border, you
know ana Crippen came from somewhere
north OF the line.
1--WE were together for several weeks,
doing all the things that boys enjoy while
living for the first time on a farm, and of
course We became quite intimate. Cripben
was a good boy, active ana full Of spirits
no mollycoddle-but on the other hand with
out vicious traits or more than the normal
boys tendency to cruelty.
"Our association made a deep irnnression
upon me and while never saw him again
have often wondered what had become OF
him. I suppose he was called to MIND
when-I otherwise would have forgotten him
because there is an Omaha travelling mar
| who looks SO much like him that every
time l see him 1 think OF Crippen. Thi,
travelling man-has the same popularity OF
set eyes, feature which see the news
papers have commented upon. DIR. Crippen',
eyes are set higher than most mems ana
are farther apart 1t makes his face ,
striking one, though far from bad looking.
Mr. Devor IL inclined to believe that hi
playmate Is guilty OF the crime charged
lie will probably get his deserts" h
added.
University Of Michigan men are not re
joioing over the extensive advertisement
given the fact that DR.. Crippen graduate,
from that institution. That DR.. Crippen di
study at Ann Arbor has been mentioned Il
the dispatches with. what seems to VOL
VERNE alumni unnecessary frequency.

idea City Chemist Crowley Brings
Home from Convention of
Pacific Coast.

TO develop some ofd Nebrasita's unused
wealth, Gas .Commissiepsr Crowley wants
to start q new industry, rthe raw material
of which will be sunfiowers and the fin
ished product substitute for nnseed oil.
Mr.. Crowley has just returned from the
meeting OF the American Chemical asso-
citation at San Francisco and in describing
his experiences to the council meetina;
Monday afternoon he deolared that II Ne
braska wants to keep pace with the states
farther west that have big advantages in
natural resources something must be done
to find new ways Of making money from
Nebraska products, LAnBeed oil Is expensive
and Mr., Crowley thinks sunflowers could
supply product that would do the work
just as efficiently.
Mr.. Crowley also spoke very favorably of
the electric Device for doing away with the
smoke evil which was advocated I'm the
convention. The device. which is the same
one which Acting Mayor Brucker sug-
gested for public consideration several days
ago and which City Electrician Michael.
sen is now investigating, uses static cleo.
tricity TO make the smoke cloud deposit itz
solid matter before it passes out into the
air 1t has been especially useful in smelt
ing works and produces sulphurio acid as g
by-product, making its use q matter o.
profit to the smslters
The water system OF Los Angeles, which
utilizes melted snow from the mountain
tops 216 miles from tho city TO supply water
OF a fine quality, was also described. The
system furnishes enough water power fol
the city to make over s1,0oo,oOo annually II

VICTIM OF THUGS IS DEAD
James Murphy Dies After Week Of
Great Suffering.
MYSTERY SURROUNDS ASSAULT
Tells Doctor He II Set Upon by Two
- COIOred ana One white Man
Face BADLY Cat Up when
He Seeks Physician.

Absolute mystery surrounds the death OF
James Muriyhy, 1fO4 Cass street. who died
Monday morning at the Omaha General
hospital following a supposed assault on
Saturday evening, July %. The coroner
has been unable to locate any OF the de-
ceased mans relatives, and the police have
no record Of the assault, which is reported
to have been Of a most malicious nature.
Whether the assailants Of the unfortunate
man can be apprehended Is question
which will confront the detective force Of
the city.
DIR. F. s. Edwards when interviewed
Tuesday afternoon said: Mr.. Murphy
came to me about o'clock Saturday night
In o very bad condition. His head and fscs
were chopped and cut and from my ex-
animation seemed to have been caused BY
chisel or some similar instrument.
There was q out on his lip that hi
wanted sewed. but he at first refused Il
allow me to attend the injuries on his
head, which needed medical attention badly
declined TO assist him unless he would le
Inc dress all his wounds, and after somt
trouble I finally succeeded In getting o.
them.
THE man said he was employed at tn,
Illinois Central freight house, and wal
about As years Of age. He was In An in
toxioated condition at the time. aud tolt
me of his assault. He stated that wheI
he was in an alley near the LoossWilss
building at Twelfth and Davenport streets
two negroes and a white man set upoI
him and attempted to rob him. He sRit
that they beat him numerically, but dix
not succeed ia taking his money ava!
| from him, and he had SIS when here,
He said a policeman appeared on tn,
scene, and when the~assallants saw tn,
officer coming they ran, leaving him alone
He then came to me and attended him
| letting him 60 with the instructions to re
turn and have the wounds redresssd. This
however, he failed to do, and I saw n,
more of him until last Tuesday, when h
came back. He was then in worse condi
ton, and after changing his bandages
sent him to the Omaha General hospital
whore he remained Until he died Monday
His death Is, I think. due to the fac
that he did not have medical assistanc
between Saturday night and Tuesday. No
only was his face and head badly mutilated
but he had been severely kicked an,
bruised in the groins."
DR.. Edwards says he reported the matte
to the police when Murphy came back tn
second time.

interest from the receipts from the sale
Of irrigation lands and water rights.
II want to say that there is absolutely
no friction whatever between me and the
consulting board OF the army engineers
but. on the contrary, we are working to-
gether in cordial cooperation. In fact
there is no friction so far as I am con-
oernod with any other division OF the In

work Is to do the things which my su.
