HARDSHIP OF EARLY LIFE Family Ruined by German Revolu tion of 1848, Ho Wins Riches in America and Buys Back His Old Home. CHICAGO, Aug. 27. Nelson Morris, head of the great packing concern, died here today from heart disease, combined with complicated kidney trouble. From a worker at Jo a month in the old Myrick stockyards on Thirty-first street to president of one of the biggest packing companies in the new Union Stockyards such was the life progress of Nelson Morris. The story of his career is a story of hard work, thrift, business acumen and self-denial. He began at the bottom, without money or friends. He ended at the top, after a career which was a steady progress upward, his success being due to eheer hard work and business ability. Mr. Morris was 6S years old, having been horn In Germany January 1, ISM. He was born in the shadows of the Black Forest, his parents being in comfortable circum stances. When he was but 9 years old, however, there occurred the revolution of 1848 which swept away the fortunes of his parents and with it his own chances for advancement in his native place. For three years he and his parents eked out an existence in different parts of Ger many. Then, when the future packer was 12 years old. the family turned to ward the United States. Liberty Means Hard Work. Upon arrival in New England, Morris in accordance with the custom of those days was apprenticed to peddle until he should become of age. Three months of tramping over the roads of Massachu setts and New Hampshire, however, put him in a frame of mind to make a break for liberty. The boy already felt the spur of ambition and he resolved to push his fortunes in his own fashion. Accordingly he ran away from his mas ter and went to Connectitcut. Here he found employment for a year as a char coal burner. Becoming weary of this work, he left Connecticut and went to Pennsylvania, where he worked for some time in the coal fields at the hardest kind of manual labor. Morris remained in the coal region until 1854, when he came to Chicago. That was the turning point of his life. He worked his passage to Buffalo on a canal boat. Here his further pro gress was blocked for a time, until he found the captain of a lumber rehoonfr who was willing to let him work his passage to Michigan City, where the craft was bound. Arrived in Michignn City, the young man found It impossible to obtain passage to Chi cago. Accordingly he tramped the en tire d!stanco to this place. In Chicago young Morris at once sought work. Chance led him to the old Myriok ttockyards, where the man Eger, John B. Sherman, later founder of the Union stockyards, gave him menial labor at $5 a month, with his room and board. Primitive Stockyard Methods. In a signed article in the Breeders' Gazette three years ago Mr. Morris; told of his early Chicago experiences as follows: "When offered JS a month in the old Myrick stockyards at Thirty-first street and Cottage Grove avenue I grasped with avidity what appeared to be affluence. This will explain how I came to be. identified with the live stock trade. No semblence of the present complex market system had then been evolved from the chaos of pioneer days. Most of the stock we handled at the Myriok yards was driven in from the surrounding coun try. Railroads were few, and the country they ramified was of scant area. "Cattlemen drove to Chicago from down in Central Illinois and Indiana. Yard facilities were crude. True, we had pens, but they were neither locked nor floored, and during wet seasons cattle wallowed in mud leg deep. "At first, we drove our cattle for water from the yards to a pond at Thirty-seventh street and Grand boulevard the location of which is still marked by a clump of willow trees. Later we dug a well at the Myrick yards. I was on a $5 a month basis at the time and look back to that well-digrging episode with unqual ified satisfaction. Its completion marked improvement in livestock handling methods. "Later I got into business, speculat ing at first in dead hogs, later killing a few of the culls that the pretentious cattle butchers of that time refused to look at. The first bullock I killed I hought out at Blue Island and drove In. If I had artistic ability I could draw a picture of that steer now. Kept Hogs From Freezing. "We handled hogs in those days. Most of them were driven In also. I discharged the not unuseful function of sitting up nights with the holdovers to prevent them from freezing to death. "My remuneration was $2 a night, but when I permitted any to succumb to the severity of the weather I got nothing. Our yards were right along the shore of Lake Michigan. No breakwater intervened, and gales drove ice waves clear over Into the pens, deluging the stock. "All over the best residence sections of Chicago's South Side we herded cattle and hogs in those days. I have grazed stock on the site of the present Union stockyards and packing-houses when the existence of that great commercial cen ter had not even been conceived. -I be gan killing operations in Chicago in 1858, slaughtering a few cattle at Thirty-first street and the lake shore, but my busi ness was small compared with the big killers of that day." Began Business for Himself. Mr. Morris' biographers explain that he was able to begin business for himself, albeit on a very modest scale, because he had been accumulating capital from the first month that he worked for Sherman. Even out of his J5 wage he managed to put by something, while he Increased his little hoard by renting his bed at night to tired drovers, he himself se lecting the proverbial "soft plank" as his own couch. At the end of his second year with Sherman, his employer, who is some times called the father of the stockyards. Offered him a salary of J100 a month. But Morris preferred to get into business for himself, and. with the money he had eaved he commenced to buy disabled stock, thus beginning the practical use of the trading Instincts which were large ly the cause of his success. Buys Back Home in Germany. I In 1S5 Mr. Morris married Miss Sarah vogel of Chicago. That same year saw Mr. Morris fulfilling one of his ambi tions the repurchase of the home which his parents had lost in 1848. He bought back the old place on the edge of- the Black Forest and settled his parents there again. After he had got the firm of Nelson Morris & Co.. firmly established money began to flow into the coffers of the president in ever-increasing quanti ties, his wealth in recent years being esti mated at several millions. The Morris firm owns packing-houses at St. Louis and St. Joseph, as well as ranches in Texas, Indiana and Nebraska. Mr. Morris leaves four surviving chil dren Edward and Ira N. Morris, Mrs. M. L. Rothschild and Mrs. Henry C. Schwab. Mr. Morris, belndes being pres- ' ident of Nelson Morris & Co., was president of the' Fairbank Canning Com pany, a director of the First National bank, of the National Live Stock bank, the Stockyards Savings bank and the People's Trust & Savings bank. He was a member of the Standard and Saddle and Sirloin clubs, and also belonged to Chicago Lodge of the Free Masons. His residence was at 2453 Indiana avenue. At' the outbreak of the Civil War he entered Into contracts with the Govern ment to supply 20,000 head, of cattle for Army use. His present estate amounts to $50,000,-00..

LAND TRIALS CAN GO ON NO KN'OWX REASON FOR DELAY IX OREGON CASES. Heney Will Try Hermann, but Bris tol Can Dispose of Others Before December. O R E G O N I AN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Aug. 27. So far as offi cial Washington is aware, there is no known reason why the Oregon land fraud trials should not be immediately resumed, nor is there any known rea son why they cannot be concluded before December 1. It is the expecta tion of the officials here that District Attorney Bristol will soon begin the prosecution. The Hermann case will wait until F. J. Heney can drop his graft work at San Francisco, for it was he who worked up this case and it is hie de sire to conduct the prosecution In per son. All others, it is believed, will be conducted by Mr. Bristol. There has been some delay, because Mr. Heney had In his possession some facts and evidence required by the Government prosecutor, but Mr. Heney some time since promised to forward this matter to Mr. Bristol, and it is presumed all necessary data is now in the hands of the District Attorney. Both the Department of Justice and the Interior Department are anxious that all pending land cases in Oregon 8 hall be cleared up without further delay.
