Samuel Scrlvner, the wealthiest man

the money had been burled on tho farm

by the James boys, after they had robbed

a bank. Thlo waa said to account for

their interest in locating It In after years.

OMAHA WELCOMES

THE LIBERTY BELL

Thousands March Fait Historic

Relic in Spite of the Rain of

the Morning:.

MAKES TRIP OVER THE STATE

Fully 4 0,000 people eaw the Lib

erty bell while It was on display In

Omaha, In spite of the rain and dis

agreeable weather.

Vet the five hours time allowed

for Omaha to view the famous old

relic was not enough, so great was

the crowd and so enthusiastic the re

ception. Several thousand more peo

ple had to be content with a long

distance view from the railroad via

ducts and other points of vantage,

because they could not get near the

bell during the few hours It was

parked for public display.

As It was being pulled out of the city

over the Burlington, to continue Its long

Journey to the Ban Franctsio exposition,

throngs gathered at points of vantage

near the depots and all along the rail

road to the city limits, shouting and wav

ing farewell to the aacred relic of the

nation's birth.

Line Several Blocks Long.

Babes In arms and aged men and wo

men. Invalids and crlpplea. rich and poor.

all forgot their work and business and

crowded anxloualy In long lines toward '

the place of display on Jackson street

between Ninth and Tenth, with the one

common thought of seeing the historic

piece of moulded metal. At times the

lines of waiting people were aeveral

blocks long, and many militiamen, police

officers and detectives and railroad and J

special officers were required to handle

tha crowds.

All estimates of the crowd agreed that

it numbered -at leaat 40.000, some being as

high as 45.000, based upon approximate

counts of the throng as It surged by the

special car on which the bell was placed.

At times the passing crowd numbered aa

high as 260 per minute.

Patriotic tunes by a fife and drum corps

and several bands enlivened the scans,

and at Intervals the forty-eight girls,

representing the states of the union and

standing around the bell on the special

car. Joined in singing "America" and

other national songs. They gave out free

pamphlets telling tho history ot tho bell,

but the crowd was so great that the sup

ply waa exhausted long before 'the bell

was awitched away.

Siren Blows.

If anybody In Greater Omaha slept a

single wink after 6:30 a. m. It was not

the fault of tha city's faithful siren whis

tle. It blew so long and loud about that

hour that folks living in Benson. Flor

ence, Dundee, South Omaha, and even

Bellevue, heard-' -It' distinctly too. dls-

tlctly, If they wanted to sleep later.

The bell was. about fifteen, minutes be

hind Jts schedule In being set on the spur

track on Jackson street, between Ninth

and Tenth.

A early as S o'clock, before the bell ar

rived at the parking place on Its special

car, fifteen or. twenty working men were

waiting to see it." Most ot them were

night worker, on their way borne, and

It would be their only chanos to view the

precious old relic ,

Omaha Arrangements Excellent.

"It certainly marks an epoch in tbo

history of Omaha," asserted Captain C.

B. Adams of the Sons of the Revolution

eommHteer aa he viewed tho reception

given tho bell. "Omaha Is lucky to have

the bell come here, and tha citizens cer

tainly are showing great patriotism and

enthusiasm fitting to the rare occasion."

"You are doing yourself proud In re

ceiving the bell," said Chairman Lewis

Hutt of the Philadelphia city council

committee to City Commissioner Kugel,

chairman of tho Omaha committee. "Tha

Omaha arrangements are excellent and

tho reception lives up to our idea of tho

true western spirit. Wo are glad wa

stopped off at Omaha." .

Flowero for tho Bell.

A huge wreath of flowers, larger In

diameter than tho bell Itaelf, was taken

to tho car by delegations from tho Omaha

and Isaac Sadler ohaptera of tho Daugh

ters of tho American Revolution, and

members personally placed it over the

framework supporting the bell, so that

tho wreath hung down over tho relic.

Beneath tho bell lay the original wooden

yoke, from which the bell hung when It

pealed forth the message of liberty In

1776. Omaha was specially honored In

this respect, for it was said by Phlladel

pblans accompanying tho- bell -that tho

old yoka had not been exhibited publicly

on the present trip until Omaha was

reached.

Foar Officers on Onard.

The yoke had been kept in tho bag

gage car of tho special Liberty Bell

train, and was noticed there by Com

missioner Robert Manley of tho Com

mercial club and other Omahans of tho

reception committee. Mr. Mullen of tho

Burlington route Immediately got a dray

man and secured permission to tsko tho

yoke to the bell's apodal car, where it

was placed on exhibition for tho first

time on tho trip.

On constant auard arnunH R ln

were four of Philadelphia's

officers, memlters of the traffic squad.

They were: J. W. Frank. James Jack,

son. William Bykes and James Quirk.

Each wore on his arm a special embroid

ered design of the bell.

Many cameras were carrWf hv riv.

who viewed tho bell, and thxr .n.h

many pictures. In spite of the cloudy sky.

Ia striking contrast to the handling of

crowda at somo other cities where tho bell

baa been ahown Omaha's Liberty bell

crowd did not have a single accldeat,

fantlng or Injury, for which tho commit

tee. Commissioner Kugel, the police and

the militia received many compliments.

A number of mothers lifted their babies

over tho car rail and handed tho young,

stars Into tho arms of tha guards, who

let tho kiddles touch tho bell for an In

stant Star Drapla tho Rain.

Even when It rained tho girls on tho

ear stuck to their posts, holding umbrel

souvenirs found ready sales among the

crowds, so that lota of people were wear.

WOMEN AMONG THE LOSERS

LIVINGSTON, Mont., July 9.

Passengers In twelve cosches were

held up and robbed today in Yellow

stone National park by a bandit, fif

teen miles from Yellowstone, the

western entrance to the park. About

10 persons were forced to give up

all their money and Jewelry. Colonel

L. M. Brett, superintendent of the

park, late today said It was Impossi

ble at that hour to estimate the

amount of money taken from the

tourists. Names of the victims had

not been obtained.

Soldiers from all parts of the park were

ordered by the superintendent to me

scene of the robhery and two suspects

were put under guard. The bandit, after

holding up the stages, went iwo tne

woods and Is believed to be heading for

the Jackson Hole country on the western

boundary.

Meets with So Opposition.

The highwayman, who pointed a rifle

at the tourists, met with no opposition

because no firearms are allowed in the

park.

The scene of the holdup Is In a heavily

wooded section where there are number

less peaka and bluffs. Those coachea of

tho Tellowstono Western Transportation

company which were stopped by the

bandit left Yellowstone early this morn

ing. They had gone fifteen miles when

they were halted.

The coaches were strung out for mors

than a mile. They were traversing a

narrow road and those In the rear were

not aware that the coaches In front were

being molested.

The bandit did not stop tho first coach,

but the others were held up one after an

other. The passengers aero forced to

deposit their money and valuables with

the robber and the coaches then were or

dered to drive on.

Making for Fan n tain Hotel.

Tha coaches were making for tha Foun

tain hotel, where the tourists were to

have their, luncheon. Military officers at

the Mammoth Hot Springs did not recelvs

word of the holdup until - sfter 1:80

o'clock, at least four hour after tho

holdup.

Beveral of the tourists took the holdup

ss a Joke at first, but tha bandit's rifle

convinced them otherwise. Among the

passengers who lost their money and

Jewelry were many women. Many of the

coach loads were made up of Bhrlnera'

organisations, en route to Seattle to at

tend the annual meeting of the Shrlncrs.

Many of thef victims wers women.

HALIFAX, N. S., July 9. The At

caused by an Infernal machine sent

aboard by Frank Holt, J. P. Mor

through mist and drlzrllng rain into

Halifax harbor today.

Early wireless advices from Cap

tain Claret Indicated that the flames

had been mastered during the night,

that the blaze had been all but ex

tinguished and that there apparently

was no further danger.

Pln the news of the fire In the

Minnehaha's hold was rece'ved here yes

terday, the department of marine has

had a government steame .n readiness

to go to the assistance cf the liner If

necessary. Arrangements had also been

made for berthing the steamer in such

a position In the harbor that shipping

and property Inshore would not bo

menaced by an explosion In the event

j that tho firo communicated with the

I chemicals and explosives stored In the

aft ei hold.

A meesnga from Captain Claret said

that the fire appeared -to have been put

out and that It probably would be neces

sary to discharge part of the carao here.

Though speculation generally has cred

ited the explosion which has caused the

fire to the activities of Frsnk Holt, who

before his suicide had made known his

received this morning to further sub
