THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, DECEMBE o 1900. SLEUTHS 15 ROBBERS ROLE Detectives Arrest Two Oriminals with Abruptness of a Holdup. VENERABLE TRAVELER HAS SEVERE SHOCK Officers Seise Upon Thieves Whose Gallt is Betrayed by Thelr Possession of Heap of Yellow Col Bomewhere in one of the old-fashioned New England states—presumably Massachu- setts~there s a gentle, white-haired old woman, who, these winter evenings, Is telling her grandchildren a thrilling story about her adventurcs while traveling through the wila and woolly west. The #tory s @ serial in many chapters, but the most fascinating of all its instaliments re- lates to the time she pussed through Omaha | of train- | in the summer of 1594, It is & t robbers—four of them—great burly, broad- shouldered fellows, who drew plstols, pointed them at the passengers right in broad daylight, and made them produce their money. One of these bandits, who seemed to be the ringleader, thrust his revolver into the face of the conductor and made him stop the train. The gentle old woman, no doubt, dwells at length and with no little dramatic effect upon the detalls of this holdup, and the srandehlidren regard her as a very re markable personage, indeed, to have beheld & real live tralnrobber while plylng his avocation. The white-halred raconteur thinks she s telling the truth; but she isu't. It would be quite difficult, probably, to convince her that the persons she mistook for robbers that day were In reality peace officers in the employ of the city. But such Is the case. Thelr names are J. J. Donahue, now chiet of police; H. P. Haze, H. W. Dunn and Don Davis. Aftor all, tho mistake of the sweot-faced passenger Is easily explained. The officers were not In uniform, but, being detectives, were in citizens' clothes, so It was per- tectly natural that she should jump at a wrong conclusion, especially since ihey flashed revolvers and felt through the pock- ets of the two men. The fact that they aft- erwards clupped handeuffe upon the wrists of the twain and marched them away she may not have observed. “I have laughed a hundred times since 1 thought of that old woman," eaid Court Ofcer Dan Davis the other day. “She was peering at us from between the fingers of her herds, which wero #pread over her faco, and her volce trembled as she gaspe ‘My! I've heard of the wild and woolly west, but I never thought the robbers wero 80 bold they'd hold up a tranload of people in broad daylight, and right in the cit too!"" Incldent Occurred Six Years Ago. This incldent occurred six years ago at the Burlington station in Beevue and was the scquel of @ robbery the night before in Bouth Omaha. Two robbers in the dead of night entered the residence of Pat Bresna- hart, a suloon keeper, and began their quest for plunder. A sister of Mr. Bresna- Bart, who slept downstairs, being awakened by thelr noise, found herself gazing into the muzzles of a brace of pistols and heard a gruff volce ordering her to get up and point tho way to her brother's room. She had no cholce but to comply. As the robbers kept her covered with thelr weapons and threat- ened to shoot it she made an outery, she obeyed thetr commands and marched before them to the sleeping apartment upstairs. Bresuahart sprang to his feet at thelr ap- proach, but he was unarmed and they had the drop on him. However, he showed fight and was knocked down for his pains. Then, as the head of the house lay uncon- sclous on the floor, the bandits searched the bureau drawers and secured $250 in,gold. The money was all in $5 gold pleces save one coin—a $10 gold piece, and this, Mr. Bresnahart remembered, was remarkable bocause of its color. The gold of which it was made was of n lighter shade of yellow than is commonly used by the United States miats, The burglary was reported to the police and the four detectives named were as- signed to run the bandits to earth. There was little enough to work upon. As the marauders had worn masks, Lhelr victims, could not describe them. No personal prop- | erty had been stolen which might be| pawned or sold and thereby afford a clue. To ths lay mind the case would have ap- peared a closed book—but not #o to the four | sleuths. They bad this fact upon which to bulld their theories: Two suspicious char- acters had been making thelr headquarters at & house near Bellevue. I Detectives Spot Thelr Men. The morning following the burglary the four detectives sauntered down toward the Burlington depot In compllance with a purely routine rule, which enjoins “keep- ing cases” at such times upon arrivals and departurcs. As they approached thoy saw the owner of the house at which the strangers were staying standing upon the platform. This was the first tip; it caused them to prick up thelr cars. Next, just as the passenger train from the west rolled in, they caught sight of two men skulking | behind a freight car. One of these was reccgnized as a4 notorlous thug named Howard. The other was a stranger. The detectives waiched the palr a moment and finally saw them make a dash to board the train. Then occurred the incident which the old woran mistook for a teain robbery De- tectives Davis and Dunn seized Howard | and Donahue and Haze gave thelr atten- | tion to the other bandit, who afterward proved to be a novice fn crime named Joe Frank. Doth resisted, but were quickly ccwed by reason of superior numbers and | armament, Not until the twain was searched at the police station did the sleuths know they had captured the Bresuahart burglars, but tho fact that the latter had $240 in $5 gold pleces In thelr pockets and the light. colcred $10 gold plece established their | tdentity beyond a reasonable doubt. How- ever, the caso agalnst them never came to trial. Bresnahart sald they didn't look like the men who pald hina that midnight it. TO KILL THE DANRUFF GER In the Only Possible Way of Having If you see a woman or a man with lux- urlant glossy hair, you may be sure nelther has dandruff to amount to anything. In nearly every case where women and men have thin, brittle hair, they owe it to dand- ruff. There are hundreds of preparations that “claim’* to cure dandruff, but not one but Newbro's Herpicide tells you that dand- Tuff {3 the result of a germ burrowing (nto the scalp, and that permanent cure of dand- ruff and its consoquent falling and bald ness, can only be had by killing the germ, and there 18 no other preparation that will destroy that germ but Newbro's Herpicide “Destroy the cause, you remove the effect.” i PAY TH ECTION BBTS, Women Who Lost Wagers Settle Their Obligations in e, Keystone hall at Reading, Pa., was fillcd to overflowing the other evening to witness a number of women pay a lot of freak elec- tlon bets. It was one of the funniest things ever seen in Reading. Mrs. Carrle Kirschmann, required to glve the entire hall a good sweeping, while Mrs. Susan Neider, re- publican, “bossed the job” and saw that It was done right. This consumed considerable time. Mrs. Kirschmann wielded the broom with a will and literally “made the dust fly.” Mrs. Marie Weidner, republican, hauled Mrs. Lillie Hendrick, also republican, on a toy express wagon ind both enjoyed their situation immensely. Mrs. Weldner 1s a weman with a strong muscle and she cantered around the hall in good style, with her charge sitting on a small vehicle, the kind that can be purchased anywhera for 25 cents. It stood its welght, though many feared a breakdown Finally Mrs. Salinda Schroeder, democrat, made her appearance grinding a hand organ, while the crowd applauded. Henry X. Keeler, a prohibitionist, acting like a monkey, ac- companied her. Popular airs were played, while Mr. Keeler took up a good-sized col- lection. The friends of the women con- gratulated them on their spunk In carrying out the bet. Light refreshments were then democrat, was served.

GRICIN OF MYSTERIOUS FIRES Incendiarism Responsible for & Bmall Part of Unexplained Onses. LARGE NUMBER OF KNOWN CAUSES Variety of Ways in Which Col tlon Begins—Dangerous and Unex- plained Explosives Genera in Clos Susplcious fires are of daily occurrence in all the great cities. Wherever there is a biaze, the origin of which is not ap- patent, a cry of incendlarism s at once raised. Yet investigation shows that less than 1 per cent of such fires are the result of a deliberate attempt to destroy prop- erty. There are forty known causes of fires which must be considered in advance of & theory that the conflagration was the work of that inflammatory human bacillus, tho firebug. There are, however, In every city pro- fessional incendiaries; men who for pay will fire buildings by the most Ingenius methods. Of course, the object of the ar- son Is the collection of the insurance by the owner of the property. One of the faverite schemes of the {ncendiary calls for @ chair, an ofl stove and a long cord. The stove is placed upon the chair and the wick lighted. To the back of the chair 1s tled a strong cord. The cord is passed |out through a window. The firebug pulls the cord at the desired moment, upsets the chalr and the burning oll trom the dis- located stove starts the conflagration. An- other scheme requires ouly an electric light bulb and a box of cloth clippings The current of electricity 18 turned on and the lighted bulb 18 packed In the clip- pings. Experiments have shown that it requires fourteen minutes to melt the glass bulb and set afire the materials sur- rounding 1t The firebug, however, accomplishes com paratively little compared to his friend the Jerry bullder, the careless carpenter, the ~incompetent electrictan, and the plumber and the rainter, who are too fre wWith thelr spirit lamps. In an investigation of 565 suspiclous fires made In 1898, by Peter Seorey, tho fire marshal of Greater New York, there were only two fires which were atsolutely proven to have been of incendiary origin. In several other cases persons wero arrested on the charge of arson, but juries fafled to convict them. The investigation of these fires resulted in the arrest of twelve persons, the majority of whom were discharged by maglstrates for the lack of conclusive evidence. In most of the cases there seemed to be a moral certalnty of tho gullt of the accused persons. There were in the city of New York in that year | 4,230 fires from all causes. Those whose duty it is to fnvestigate fires of suspiclous origin are confronted with many difficulties. Not the least of these {4 the manner in which citizens, ep parently for no good reason, mislead the fuvestigators. A deputy fire marshal once spent nearly a day In the investigation of a fire which he believed to have been the work of incendiary. He would probably have still been In the dark with regard to it had he not overheard a conversation as he was leaving the tene- ment where the fire had occurred. A woman was singeing a chicken in the kitchen of one of the apartments. A blaze from the burning paper had ignited a towel which was drying over the stove and the fire spread rapidly throughout the room. Think- Ing that she would be censured for care- lessness she had evaded the questions of tho officlals and put them to a great deal of trouble, besides bringing innocent per- sons under suspicion Queer Causes of Fires. An Investigator of fires of pecullar ori- gin, such as are constantiy occurring in large citles, must have a saving knowledge of chemistry, physics, architecture and of a varlety of other arts and sclences.

Lampblack when packed away in an ill-ventilated room often generates enough heat to set itself on fire. In one of the prineipal cities of the United States the laboratory of a perfumer was nearly wrecked by a terrific explosion. The maker of scents believed that a dlscharged em- ploye bad set fire to the bullding, but he badn't. The fire was due to the slow evaporation of a high spirit in a room In which & small laboratory gas stove had been left burning. There passed through the streets of Bos- ton a few years ago & load of hay which suddenly became enveloped In flame. The driver of the hay wagon was about to as- ult a guileless youth who was smoking a clgarette nearby. The trouble, however, had nothing to do with the cigareto gmoker, but was caused by the tire of a wheel rub- bing agaipst an iron rod on the side of the wagon. A bystander had seen the spark caused by the contact between the pleces of metal fly into the inflammable bay. In all manufacturing establishments a fre- quent cause of fires is the rubbing of leather belting against the edges of the aperture through which it passes from floor to floor. In a fancy goods house a large iron vault was blown open by some force generated witLin and there issued a sheet of flame. Ncbody had been in the vault for st least twelve hours. The steel box was filled with paper dolls, between each pair of which there was a film of cellulold. A three-inch steampipe was placed against the rear of the vault and the heat it gave out had ratsed the temperature of the iron box to such a degree that the celluloid films had taken fire. Guncotton is one of the component parts of celluloid and the exploston was the natural result of a com- bication of guncotton and high temperature, One of the most stubborn fires which ever visited Chicago had its origin in a plate- glags window. The vitreous pane concen- trated the heat of the August sun upon a cellulold comb. The comb blazed and sput- tered und soon the other samples of cellu- loid which were around it were on fire. The flames communicated rapidly to the re- mainder of a stock of inflammable mer- chandise. Mice and Matches, The overweening foudness of mice and rats for sulphur has been the cause of many fires. A deputy fire marshal told the writer recently that he had In several cases seen nests of matches which the rats and mice had made between the floors of bulldings. It s no unusual thing when structures are being torn down to fiad that the rodents have lined their abodes with the brimstone-annointed sticks. The mice and rats will steal an old-fashioned sulphur match whenever they get an opportunity and take it away to chew at their leisure The gnawing process results in the ignition of the matches and there follows a mys- terious and wsuspiclous fire, The rodents regard parafine as a choice delicacy. It the insulation «* an electric wire contains this waxy product of petroleum the rats will eat it. The bared wire thus becomes a ready means of starting a blaze. In many cases the steamfitter is respons- {blo for destructive fires. If a steam pipe is too close to woodwork, a slow process of carbonizing takes place. A litte extra heat or draft of air may fan a flame from the carbonized wood. Another cause of couflagrations 1s the carelessness of car penters. From time immemoral it has been a habit of the trade to sweep shavings In between the joists of floors. In these days of electric wirlng the supposedly in- sulated wires pass bencath the floors. It either the wire or the shavings were properly insulated, there would be no trou- ble. But in one way or another the wire 13 exposed and communicates a spark to the shavings which may be lying near it. The spark may smoulder for days and then in tho dead of night there comes a cry of “Fire!" 4 The houses of the wealthy, even In these days of fireproof construction, are often more of firetraps than the meancst tene- ments. The flues in the abodes of wealth and luxury are often defective. In many cases only the width of a brick intervenes between intense heat and highly varnished and inflammable cabinet work. Rich hang- ings and upholstered furniture give the food upon which a conflagration feeds. De- fective electric wirlng has many sins to answer for in these days. Electriclans who are supposed to be competent will cross wires and violate nearly every principal of common sense and of electrical science. Some of them lead strands of wire through wooden boxes which in the event of fire, be- come roaring flues. Some of the most de- structive fires known in the large cities have been due to carelessness in placing the wires for electric lighting. Mysteriou Gas Generated. One of the greatest dangers that fire- men have to face is the sudden explosive burst of flame {n a burning bullding where no known explosives are present. The theory has been advanced by experts in fire fighting that these explosions are caused by a gas generated in a closed building by a high dogree of heat. The exact na- ture of this gas they do not attempt to define, but they say that it {s a high ex- plosive and extremely inflammable in the open air. This theory was borne out In a remarkable way by a fire In Syracuse sev- eral years ago. On two sides of a large storehouse building there was fire. The burning bulldings were both separated from the storehouse by the width of the street. Streams of water from hose were playing upon it in the hope of saving it. The building was filled with cloth and other nonexplosive materials. Without prelim- {nary flickering or other warning the en- tire bullding suddenly burst into flames. The windows were violently blown out and fire darted forth from them same time great columns of flame spurted up from the roof. It was evident that the alr inside the tightly closed bullding had become suddenly ignited on all sides. That it had an explosive quality was equally ap- perent. This same gas, It is claimed, s responsible for the vivid and beautiful “fire tallocns” that eail up into the alr above large fires. There Is & mysterious property in dust, which under certain conditions produces violent explosions. There have been In- stances In postofices where the dust from the wail bags suspended in the air of a close room bhas exploded with terrific torce. Dust cxplosions are of frequent oc- currence in flour and drug mills. The pre- clse conditions under which such accldents occur have never been determined. It is the theory of those who have made myster- fous fires a lifelong study that the explo- slons always occur in rooms where little air is admitted and where the temperature 18 hizgh Overworked Excuse. Spontaneous combustion covers a multi- tude of the sins of carelessness. ‘The origin of many fires in tailor shops may be traced to the so-called dry-cleaning of clothes. A rag dipped in naphtha is fre- quently used in removing grease spots frcm garments. The rag soaked with in- flammable fluid is thrown upon the floor. When the shop s closed up and the air 18 confined the naphtha-soaked material will of itself gonerate fire. Hales of cotton, placed in the hold of & ship, are often the cause of disastrous fires.

Whenever the authorities of the fire department get a chance they order such brackets to be moved or made sta- tlonary. Hundreds of fires have been caused by the careleschess of persons who left these swinging brackets in such a position that the flame could come in con- tact with lace curtalns. With a speclal referenco apparently to causing as many fires as possible, the gasfitter always puts a swinging bracket where he knows the housekeeper will wish to hang & lace cur- tain. The combination of curtaln and bracket is often fatal. One of the most active causes of fires is the mantel dec- oration. In many homes & silken scart s hung from the mantel ftself. Whenever there is & fire In the grate there s danger of the flimsy scarf taking fire, In tene- ment houses small stoves are often placed before the mantel. The mantel shelves are none the less duly decorated with yards of embroldered and tinselled cloth. In many cases this decoration has caught fire from the stove, fallen to the floor and ignited the fat-soaked carpet or matting.
