TIHHE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TRIDAY, BANK WORKING THEIR GAME Police Take in Two Men Supposed to Be Experts in Ohecks, THER LITTLE TRICK INTERRUPTED ‘Ohlef Detective Cox and Detectives Savage and Dempsey Make What Appenrs to He an Ime« A portant Arrest, Chiet of Detectives Cox and Detectives Bavage and Dempscy have again smeared themselves with glory, and have receivel the unanimous thanks of all of the bankers in | the city, Yesterday evening the officers ar- rested Edward Foster and Harvey L. Barn who the officers claim are a pa'r of the most clever bank sneaks in the country. They were placed under arrest just as they were | about to “turn a trick” for $967.50 on the American Natlonal bank, of which John L. McCague Is president. During the traveling men's parade yester- day the attention of the officers was attracted by the suspicious actions of these two men, and they were shadowed from the First National bank to several other like concerns and finally rounded up when the police thought their game, whatever it might be, was ready to be consummated Investigation showed that Barnes had called at the First Nationai bank during the morn ing and deposited a draft for $1,000. After this transaction was made, Foster went to the Nebraska Savings bank and made a deposit. In the afternoon both men called at the American National and Barnes made a check payable to himself for $997.50 and told the bank officers to call up the First National for reference, as he had deposited a draft with them that morning. This was made stronger by Foster, who referred them to his banking house. The bank was about to pay him the §997.50 when Barnes sald he would step out a min- ute, as he had a customer to see, and would return in a matter of a few minutes and re- ceive his currency. ‘He never came back," for when he stepped out he was hustled down to the station by two officers. When they came back to get Foster he was not visible and was not picked up until late in the evening. When searched at the police station Barnes had $350 in cash on his perzon and his part- ner had $46 id cash. On the two men were found letters and bank books showing that they have recently been In Kansas City, St Louis, Indianapolis, Chicago, Baltimore and Pittsburg. In the left shoe worn by Barnes was found a number of cards bearing the name of “E. R. Eddins, superintendent of construction, B. P. Allis Engine company, Milwauke In Barnes' val found at the Paxton, was a dark lantern. When Foster was arrested by Detective Savage in front of the New York Life building he threw away a bundle of checks, but they were picked up by & boy and hanged to the officer, The crime to be attempted by the two men 15 an old one and has been worked exiensively and successfully all over the country. The plan is to deposit a draft or a good amount of money In one bank, then go to some other banking house, make out a personal check, receive payment on same, on recommendation of the bank where the deposit was made, and while the money Is being pald over have an accomplice draw out the funds in the sec- ond institution and get away with all money before the beaten bank presents the worthless check in the regular way of busi- nes:. Barnes was identified by the recelving tel- ler of the First National bank as the man who deposited the funds with him. They will have a preliminary hearing this morn- ing. I L s SOME ARRESTS MADE LAST NIGHT, Little Matters that Kept the Police fr n Decoming Stale, C. Casey lives out in one of the suburban towns. Last night he came in to witness the grand_ Ak-Sar-Ben carnival and drove a young team. His was stationed on one of the by streets on the line of march. The first band of music that came along excited the young thoroughbreds, and it was with dif- ficulty that a runaway was averted. They quicted down somewhat before the second band of music came along, when they again become fractious. Mr. Casey has a mild dis- position, but the continued “‘galvortin” of the colts made him mad and he became mighty profane, much to the annoyance of a large crowd of ladies, also Officer Drummond, who placed him under arrest and preferred the charge of “drunk and insulting ladies on the street” agalost him. He was allowed to go home on a personal security deposit. His case will be heard at 10 o'clock this morning. “Stuttoring” Jim Smith, the colored man who was released from jall only yesterday morning, was agaln arrested last night by Offcer Stiles for snatching a woman’s hand bag at tho corner of Thirty-third and Far- mam. The bag contained $10 and several artiolos of jewelry. The lady refused to give her name, but sald that she would appear in police court this morning and prosecute the negro. The holdup occurred at dusk and was witnessed by several men living in this neighborhood, who assisted the officer in running down and capturing Smith. Trial at 9 o'clock this morning. Fred Harrigan and Fritz Guyhardt weye arrested last night by Officer Russell on complaint of Mrs. E. J. Van Leet of 2603 Cuming street, for the larceny of a lot of goods of value. They will have a hearing this morning on the charge. Julius Keegar was hilarlously and ob- noxiously drunk last night and when arrested @ big pistel was found on him.

When he turned to get it after the parade pa: contained a quantity of clothing. Wil Tucker, who is from one of the towns n the state, was arrested last night for carrylng concealed weapons. The weapon was an old-fashioned revolver, which Tucker 1d he thought he might be called upon to 5 use while he was in the city. C. Casey, another man from a small town, got 50 excited on account of the magnificence of the pavade that he used some hard lan- guage in the presence of several women at Twelfth and Douglas streets, because he was Jostled by them.

A roputed bad man with a revolver met another man with another revolver in John Wright's saloon at 105 South Twelfth street at 12:30 this morning and came out of the resulting scrimmage a little the worse for wear. Both men were arrested. Their names are Charles Morrison and L. J. Proc- tor, an_hour o Both men were drinking and at that time one shot was fired, of which it is said that Proctor was the author. At 12:30 Morrison was in tho saloon, when Proctor again entered and fired a_shot at him, without warning, it is said. Morrison dropped behind the bar and when he came up again he had a gun in his hand. Everybody cleared out of the place and Morrison and Proctor fired a couple of shots aplece at each other when Proctor lost his revolver on the floor. Morrison refrained from shooting, and while the two men were struggling for the weapon on the floor Special Officer Cullen entered and succeeded in separating them. The floor was covered with blood and a considerable amount of glassware was broken. When Proctor was examined it was found that two bullets had grazed him, one on the head and the other in the hand, and that Morrison had not been hit. SRAND C |||n NURNED, MoT Exploding '-llhull e Stove Fatally « ks Mrs. Peterson and Baby Mrs. John Peterson, living at 2409 North Twenty-fifth avenue, and baby, 2 years of age, were painfully and perhaps fatally burned by the explosion of an oll stove at 6:3 o'clock. While lighting an ofl stove preparatory to cooking supper, the oil receptacle in some un- known manner took fire and exploded, throw- ing the burning fluid over the entire body of the woman and setting fire to the one-story frame house. With her clothing ablaze the frenzied woman picked up her baby and pressing it closely to her breast ran through the burning building into the rear of the house. Her hasty flight fanned her burning gar- ments into a blaze and blistered and burned her entire body, as well as that of her infant in a sickening manner. An alarm was turned in and the flames of the burning bullding soon extinguished. Kindly neighbors took the suffering mother and her child. A physician was hastily summoned and the scorched and seared bodies wrapped in cotton, with a soothing lotion. The suffering of the two unfortunales was pitiful in the extreme. It was the opinion of the attend- ing ph n that both of the fire victims would not live until this morning. —— IN ANY BUT AMBRICAN W ATER.

Today s an anniversary for the coolest man In Fort Myer, says the Washington Post. He is not an officer, only a non-com., old and grizzled, and somewhat bent, but soldierly still, and rated by his officers as one of the best men in the garrison. John Martin, pro- vost sergeant of the Sixth cavalry, will prob- ably be remembered in tradition o long as he Sixth shall hold together. He is the only enlisted man in the post who holds the cov- eted medal of honor from congress, and he is known of all his fellows as the man who draws special gallantry pay. August 30 is not the anniversary of the fight that won hirh his medal. That was Chevalon Forks, officially known as the battle of the Great Dry Wash, whers he, with Lieutenant Cruse of the Sixtn, brought out a wounded man from one of the hottest Indian scraps that ever hap- pened, and both won the medal of honor. But today is the anniversary of the first time the sergeant was ever “mentioned in orders,"” and the time that established his reputation as ono of the coolest men that ever risked getting scalped by Apaches. The Apaches were having funswith the sur- rounding country in 1881, as they had been in the habit.of doing for many scasons pre- vious. Thelr particulax form of diversion this time was a Messiah craze, precisely the same sort that a few years ago brought on the big trouble at Pine Ridge and Wounded Knee. The Messiah this time was a medicine man down in the neighborhood of Fort Apache, a little cut-off station 150 miles from Fort Wingate and as far from the end of the nearest railroad. General Carr, who was In command of the Sixth at the time, saw what the dancing and excitement among the bands was leading to, and when the medicine man, who was causing all the trouble and working the Indians up to the fighting pitch, appeared in the Apache camp at Cibicu creck, a couple of days' march form Fort Apache, the general took a couple of troops of cavairy and u troop of Indls scouts and went out to round up the disturber of tranquillity. They went into the Apache camp and brought him out without a fight, rather to the surprise of the officers, and then the march back to Fort Apache commenced. The medicine man was accompanied by his wife, who refused to be parted from him, and when he left he assured the braves that he would_speedily come to them again; that he was divine, invincible, and that the white men had no power that gould prevail over his spells and magic. The hostiles were rather loath to give Yiim up, and about 300 of them dogged the march of the troops, circling about - on the crest of the hills along the trail. The first camp was made without a sign of trouble. It was a pretty spot on the edge of a small creek, with a little bunch of cotton woods and good picking for the horses, so that when one of the white troopers got into camp a little ahiead of the other the horses were turned out under a picket guard to fesd. The other troop had just come up, and the men were preparing to dismount, when the mine was sprung, prematurely, as it hap- pened, which was all that saved the com- mand, A drunken Indian turned loose his Winchester, and in an Instant the troop of Indian scouts, who had ridden, tracked, and fought with the Sixth ali through Arizona for years, poured a close range fire into the reg- ulars. In an instant the Apaches swooped down from the hills to complete the work of wiping out the command. It seemed that the scouts had made all their plans to mutiny, and had set the follow- fing morning, when they would have caught thp command asleep and would have cut them up into shoestrings. But one of their number ot too much “tizwin” into him and opened the ball ahead of time. The horses of the dismounted troop were stampeded at the first fire, all but that of Lieutenant Cruse, who was in command of the scouts, and old Jdan Martin, then a black- smith with the outft. General Carr was with the troop that had not yet dismounted, and he shoved his men forward to spread the Indians, who were rushing down from the hills, while the dismoufted troop pushed back the renegade scouts om the other side, after having ten men, Including Captain Henek, Killed, and a lot mortally wounded. or about three minutes it looked as though the command would be eaten up on the spot, but they pushed the Indians back to Aong range fighting distance and made a for- lorn hope stand, sixty men against 300 In- dians, who were sugmented to 1,000 before sunset, But the medicine:man never lived to ful- Il his promise of going back. General Carr d put him in charge o1 a sergeant with or- ers to kill him at the first sign of an at- tack, and the sergeamt dropped him with a bullet through him.at the first volley from the scouts. His wife made a run for the hostile lines and would probably have made 1, but passing the dead body of Captain Henek she stopped: and pulled his revolver from the holster. Aw Apache woman with a gun is one degree worse than an Apache man, and the trumpeter of the troop dropped her with his six-shooter before she had time to use her new weapon. All through the fight the coolest man was John Martin, the troop blacksmith, He was sitting on a mess chest when the first break was made by the scouts, and with the bridle of his buckskin horse over his arm, he sat there dropping Apaches right and left, and quartering like a wing shot at trap practice He was just about as much excited as he Is now when he has a squad on fatigue duty raking leaves upon the garrison walks. But that was merely a specimen of the sort of man he was. He made his record with the regiment on the long march back to the post that night. That was one of the hardest marches any of the Sixth ever made. It was through a country cut up with narrow canons, where the trail dropped a thousand feet straight down on one side and immediately there- atter crawled up a reck wall on the other. At the top of any ome of these trails two Indians could have blocked tue whole com mand, and there was every reason io expect that the pecessary two would be there. The troopers, onc-half d smounted, had SEPTEMBER 20, 1893. A Look Carefully nto Things.
