A. D. Itlchards. , NEBRASKA CITY, May 1. Special.) A. D. Richards, ft pioneer Nebrankan, died at his home this morning, aged CS. Mr. Rich aids came to Nebraska from Ciimua In 1855. For many yean he was engaged In I river traffic and was once the best l.nown steamboat man on the Missouri liver. Mr. Richards- jvas ono of those pioneers about whom historians write and who help make hiBtorj1 one of those whose esrly life Is associated with the pioneers and Indians, He was born In Canada and when young started for the frontier, being one of the pioneers In the western portion of that province,' and was In the uncivilized portion of Nebraska In 1S55 and 1&6. In 1862 he was clerking In the store, or ranch, as It was called, of a Frenchman named Dur geon, at O'Fallon's Bluff, which waa some eighteen miles southwest of where North Platte now Is. Two years later he started a ranch of his own two miles east of O'Fallon's Bluff, at what he called'Fre mont Springs. His nearest neighbor was William Blschof of this city, whose ranch was ten miles east, and which waa In charge of Henry Schneider, and part of the time his brother. Julius Schneider, was with him, and Jed and John Oilman had ranch not far from there. There was plenty of excitement there, as the Indians were very troublesome and the whites also seemed to be willing to fight. During the spring of 1S04 he came to this city with others, and remained until spring, when he returned to his ranch, only to find that the Indians had burned all of the houses and driven away his cattle. He remained in that portion of the territory until 186S, when he came back here, and finally located at Hamburg. Ia., where he married Miss I.am mereoux and engaged In the clothing busi ness. Heboid out In 1901 and moved back to this cav, where he has since made IiIh home. Hs Is survived by his wife, but has no children. The Indians always have a name of their own tor an individual and he was called "Ochlllo," which means "The Kid." He was 68 years of age and quite wealthy, Aa yet no arrangements have been made for the funeral, which will probably be held Sunday. Samnrl Hendrlrkson. IH-TtON, 8. D., May 1. (Special.)

He Informed the conimtttee regarding steps taken to acquaint the attorney general with the existence of a paper mnnufaetur ers' pool and submitted for the prlvste In formation of'the committee a ropy of the' aliegaltons made by the publishers em bodying the names of thirty-six persons who had knowledge of the matters com plained of. Those persons, he declared, were not willing witnesses. Mr. Norrls said, further, that practically all the evi dence he had furnished the committee had long ago be-n placed In Ihe hands of the attorney general. "I doubt," he said, "If It was even read." Mr. Norrls put In evidence a resolution from a labor union representing lM.OOO men expressing their hearty sympathy with the movement of the publishers Hgalnst the paper makers. Medlll McCormlck, publisher of the t'hl cafto Tribune, disclosed to the committee that under a five-year contract with th International Paper company he wna now paying li.20 per hundred for paper. The contract still has one year to run, although the price during the time of existence has been gradually increased from SI. 83. His purchases, he ta!d, amount to H.fM) or U.ino tons yearly. t'nder a rigid cross-examination by Mr. Miller, Mr. McCormick testified that shortly before making his last contract with the International company he had bought paper from a Watertowh, N. Y., mill. Subse quently the traveling representative of the Watertown company asked to be relieved of Its contract, and on the same day, within an hour, an agent of the International com pany appeared in his office and asked for the contract, lie said he Journeyed to New York In the company of both gentlemen and the contract with the Watertown com pany was cancelled as requested. He could not explain how It happened that the two ugents were In Chfeago t theVame time. "Did you sufpect any collusion?" asked Mr, Mann. The witness answered that he did not suspect the Watertown company's agent, but he said. "I made up my mind that the Watertown people had been badly frightened by the International people, and I remember I had a rather angry Interview In which I told him he had 'ditched me." Members Talk of tleport. At this point the con mittee entered Into sn Informal dtccussion as to me proDBDie effect on the house of Its report. In tho opinion of Mr. Stafford the reeominenda tiors of the committee would be followed by the house. Some amusement was created at Mr. Mann's expense when, after Mr. McC"6r n.kk had taken his departure from the room, it was discovered that he had not been sworn. Mr. Mann, however, com forted himself with the statement that Mr. McCormlck appeared only In an advisory capacity anyway. Mr. Norrls' placed li evidence clippings from a trade Journal showing (hat writing paper manufacturers In 1907 hadv agroed on a scale of increasing -prices as the result of ' "combinations, understandings and arrangements." "Well," said Mr. Mann, at this point when the call of tho house waa ordered, "your ally demands our presence." "I think,", said Mr. Miller, "your ally is a little afraid we are going to report at this session of congress." "I am afraid," remarked Mr. Norrls, "he has no apprehension." "He Is doing his best to hinder It," said Mr. Mann. 3 Formerly n.f.SGOFIELD UjXaOAK&SUlTCq Formerly KCOFIED .CLOJJCiSlilTfc R Our Extraordinary Sale ol Beautiful Hew . . .
