THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JUNE 22, 1903. CURRENT NEWS OF IOWA. COUNCIL BURGLAR ELUDES POLICE Makes & Ban for it When Trapped in Store and Escapes. OFFICER WHITTAKER TAKES SHOT AT HIM Cleyk in Store Discovers Thief and Notifies Police, Who Surround A burglar who was found in Bwaine & Mauer's hardware store on Broadway last night succeeded In making his escape after running the gauntlet of several policemen, one of whom, armed with a pump gun, took a shot at him. v The burglar was dlscovered by Willlam Barghausen, a clerk employed in the store. Barghadsen shortly after 8 o'clock went to the stors for tho purposs of lighting the lamp, which i= left burning through the night. An hour later when passing the store with a companion he noticed the light was out and started to enter the stors to investigate. As he opened the front door he heard someone run to the back of the store. Hastily closing the front door Barghausen stood “watch while his companion went to police headquarters. Sergeant Whittaker, armed with a pump gun, guarded the rear door opening into the alloy next the city hall, while Cap- tain Maltby went to the front entrance. In the meantime the burglar had retreated to the cellar and attempted to get out by the same window by which he had en- tered, but in the darkness could not find it He then left the cellar and, reaching the store again, succesded In opening the back door undiscovered, when he made a run for it down the alley. Bergeant Whit- taker called to him to stop, but the fellow only increased his speed, and the officer let fly the pump gun. It fs not thought he hit the fellow, as he kept running and disappeared in the darkness. Investigation of the store showed that the cash drawer had been broken open and about $5 in small changs stolen. The sheot- Ing caused considerable excitement on Broadway and a big crowd gathered in front of the store.

Dean F. C. Bolton, the head of the department of the summer session, is kept very busy answer- ing inquiries from students, and the at- tendance promises to be ahead of that of last year. President G. E. MacLean will not be in residence during the summer session, the board >t regents having urged him at the miceting. this week to take a vacation in order to rest this summer. Dg.

Price, S0 REORGANIZERS MAY CONTROL 01d Line Demoorats Bhow Great Strength in Oonventions Already Held. FOR VAN WAGENEN CLEAR SAILING Republican County Conventions Held Over the State Indicate fhe Party is More Harm Than Usual. (From a Btaft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, June 21.—(Speclal)—Prac- tically all the necessary preparations for the democratic state convention of this week have been made here. The conven- tion will be held in the Auditorjum and the local committee has provided music and. decorations, though neither will be elaborate. J, H. Quick of Bloux City will be the temporary chairman, and it is ex- pected he will deliver an address that will be conservative and point the way to silence on the colnage question. Thus far it would appear impossible that any scheme can be put up that will defeat Judge A. Vvan Wagenen of Sloux City for governor, s he s the only avowed candidate. There has been some effort to induce Celonel C. H. Mackey of Sigourney, an old-time demo- crat, to be a candidate for governor, and the local democrats have tried to induce ex-Congressman Walt Butler of this city to be a candidute. The matter of selection ot the candidates is likely to be a very simple matter, unless the free silver men are strong enough (o have easy sailing, when they may decide upon taking all the offices. Present fndications are that they will not be able to control the convention at all. Conventions held the past few days have shown that the gold democrats have great strength and that they will have most of the really strong men in the convention. The entire east half of the state will be pretty solid for reorganizing the party and against reafirmation of the Kansas, City platform. It is known that Judge Van Wagenen, who 18 a ¢andidate for governor, will not make the race it fres silver is made prominent in the party creed this year. Judge Martin J. Wade, the Becond Alstrict congressman, who is the only demo- crat holding any important elective office in the state, will be the leader of those who Insist on keeping still about the Kansas City platform. He will ask for substant- ally the platform of last year. It is not known whether Governor Boles will be present. It is belleved that a strong effort will be made to have the convention in- dorse the candidacy of Hearst for president and this largely in the hope that he can in this way be induced to start a democratic newspaper in Des Moines. Republican Harmony Prevails. A significant county convention held by Iowa republicans yesterday was in Chero- kee county, where a strong indorsement of Governor Cummins was passed by the county convention. This was in & county that two years ago was largely egainst the governor. Senator Hobart, who has al waws been accounted an antl-Cummins man, heads the delegation to the state con- vention. In Johnson county & similer har- mony convention was held, and another in Centerville, for Appanoose county. In fact, & number of republican county conventions were held the past week and it was found that in most cases there is very little dif- erence between Iowa republicans. In only few of the countles or the state has there been any factional conflict this year. Work om the State Oupitol. The State Capltol commission has selected C. L. Linley of Chicago to be consulting engineer and supervising director of the work of improvement on the state capitol. The contracts will be signed up on Monday. The main work will be done by L. H. Kurts of this city at q cost of §73,000, which will include the entire heating and venti- lating arrangement for the state capitol, the new elevators and tne electric equip- ment. The commission did not let all the contracts, but meets again on the 29th Inst. to open additional bids and let contracts. The desire is that the work shall all be done at once. Wil Ask & Rehearing. “Che city of Des Moines 18 to ask the lowa supreme court for a rehearing in the case of the city against Robertson, involving the right of the eity to make repeated con- demnatlons to secure right to open a street. The supreme court decided that where the clty had abandoned condemnation proceed- ings three or four times, only to take them up,again, and each time to get a lower award, it was evidence that the city was not acting in good faith. The city council Q1d just what has been done many times before in similar cases, and it the decision stands it will mean that all bodies having to do with condemnation cases will have to be eareful in the future.

BOTH PARENTS LOSE CHILDREN t for Little Omes Which Ju Orders Given to Methodist ST. LOUIS, June 21.—The legal contest which- has been gouing on for years be- tween Zela E. Rinehart and her former husband, Henry M. Wills, professor of elo- cution in the law department of the Na- tional university at Washington, for pos- session of thelr daughters, ended yesterday by Clreult Judge Fisher denying the cus- tody of the children to either parent and re- manding them to the care of the Methodist Orphans’ home at Maryland and Newstead avenue. Mrs. Rinehart separated from Wills in Kirkiin, Ind., In 1899. She returned tu her home in Tennessee, taking her children with her. She was granted a éiverce aad the custody of the chlldren. Wills clalms he did not know of the divoroe until it had been granted. He entered suit to have the divorce set neide, and applied for a writ of habeas corpus to get the children. She took the chfldren to St. Louls and placed them in thg Methodist home. Judge Fisher directed that the children be kept in the home ior flve years, or until the further order of the court JUNE GIRL'S PHILOSOPHY The man with kind eves and a gruff man- ner 1s like the dog that growls and wags its tall—you are mever sure which sign to belteve.

RUSH TO LOCATE Range s Highly Mineralized and Fall Bear Lodge Di GREAT CLAIMS Inte Four States From Warren's Peak. DEADWOOD, 8. D,, June 21.—(Special.)— The Bear LoAge range of mountains, in Crook county, Wyoming, across the South Dakota line, has been attracting the at- tontion of prospectors and mining men this spring and there fs considerable ex- cltement over the reglon. Quite a number have gone Into the country and there has been much locating of claims, until prac- tically everything within a radius of three or four miles of Warren's park has been staked. Warren's peak is the highest point in ths Bear Lodge, having an elevation of 6750 feet, according to the United States geological survey. The mountain is about seven miles from Sundance, the county seat of Crook county, Wyomling, and that town is being made the source of supply by the various companies and Individuals working In the dlstrict. Sundance Is reached by a fifty-mile raflroad ride and & twenty-five-mile stage ride from Deadwood via Bellefaurche, 8. D., and Aladdin, Wya., the latter being the end of the raliroad. No work has been performed in the min- eral beit so far save what is necessary to locate claims and put them on record. Consequently there are no openings in the region over ten feet deep, except a few holes munk several years ago in a copper- bearing region lylng northerly from War- ren's peak. Is Fall ot Minerals. Geologically the reglon presents many striking features. Nearly all the eruptive rocks are tound, including porphry and all the members of the porphry family—dlorite, trachyte, phonolite, felsite, sndesite, nite, with an occasional heavy intrusion of granite. The region is essentially of erupt- ive origin and is mineralized to & remarka- ble degree. The process of eruption is evi- dently extended over a long period of time, one upheaval cccurring after another with great persistence, the older dykes being rent by numerous others and nearly ail of them overflowing, forming large masses of their material”that cover the sides of the hills. Gold values are found in all the eruptive rocks and numerous small seams of rich ore are found on the contacts between the different materials and assay tests give re- turns running from a trace of gold up to several hundred dollars. Traces of fluorine are seen in much of the vein matter and some of the samples most vividly stained with the element give good assays. In the Cripple Creek region of Colorado some of the richest ores are fluorine stained and the presence of the element in the ores of the Bear lodge range is regarded as a favorable indication, considering the char- acter of the ore, although the manner in which it allies itself with gold is pecullar and it remains to be determined just Low closely it is ociated with the precious metal in the Warren's peak country. It is an active chemical and a violent solvent of gold, practice demonstrating that It some- times retains the gold and at other times 18 the means of accomplishing its dissemin- ation. Range is Heavily Timbered. The Bear Lodge range is to all intents and purposes an outler of the main Black Hills range, from which it is separated by a prairie region several mfles across. The range s from thirty to thirty-five miles long, northerly and southerly, extending trom Bundance to the Bellefourche rives and is from five to ten miles wide. Except for Warren's peak and neighboring peaks, covering an area of four or flve square miles, it is heavily timbered. The high peaks are bare of timber, but are covered with a luxuriant growth of buffalo grass and wild flowers, the iatter growing in profusion and of great varlety at this season of the year, the ground being matted with them for acres in extent and present- ing a gorgeous spectacle. The summit of Warren's peak affords a magnificent view of the surrounding coun- try, into four states. Immediately to the north are seen the Devil's Tower, situated | near the Bellefourche river, a giant obelisk of trachyte, having a columnar structuro and rising perpendicularly to a helght of 6% feet from Its base, its top flatted and having an area of an acre or more. Four or five miles from the Devil's Tower are the Little Missouri buttes, higher than the tower and of the same structural form tion, but lacking the experience of erosion through which the tower has passed. They are covered with loose earth and contain scanty vegetation, rendering their summits accessible, while the tower has only been scaled with rope ladders attached to & se- ries of pegs driven into the crevices be- tween the columns. The tower and buttes are on a national reservation six miles long and four miles wide, having been withdrawn from the public domain. Beyond the Devil's Tower and the Little Missourl buttes may be seen the prairie country of northern Wyoming and Mon- tana to the north. To the west the Big Horn mountains are seen, their crests snow-covered the year around. To the southeast may be seen the northerly part of the Black Hills' main range and the smoke of the mills at Lead and Deadwood. To the south are visible Sundance moun- tains and Inyan Kara mountain, apart from the mother range, sentinel figures that mark the landscape for over 10 miles to the westward. Looating the La @Gold, copper, manganese and other metals and preclous elements have been known to exist In the Bear Lodge range for many years. Float has been found that assayed up in the thousands of ddflars, and pros- pectors have tried to locate the lands, | without definite success. 1t is now the be- lief that the rich ore in commercial quan- titles lies at Considerable depth, and devel- opment s what is necessary to disclose it. Capital is therefors what the territory de- | mands, and mining men of experience are confident that monsy Invested in extensive exploration will yield a handsome return. There are two assayers in the range, Percy Train of Montana and George W. Bock of Hill City, 8. D, both equipped with good working cutfits, and they are indus- triously Informing themselves as to the value and characteristics of the ore, and with the other prospectors, endeavoring to determine whero it lies and how it is best to be reached. Emil Ruder of Lead City has spent alght years In the range. FHe ewns over 100 claims, on all of which he has done some work. e clalms to have @lscovered low grade gold ore In paying quantities and is preparing to put in a cyanide plant. He has experimented on the ore with a chlor- ination process and appears to be satisfied with the results, although he warked in the crudest kind of way. Some More Frospeoctors. Others who have located in the range are B. C. Martin and G. ¥\ Bock, repre- senting Hill City parties C. A. Spencer, & well known mining man from Roohford, 8. D., and several companies composed of Deadwood men, all of whom own large tracts of mining ground. The Bear Lodge is today the only virgin |mining territory in the middle west. It |18 an 1deal country for mining and pros- pecting. There has been little wash and no shifting except that mcldent to the early upheavals. Prospectors have learned that a plece of float marks the outcrop ! of a lead, and it requirea only a few feet of exploration to locate it. Numerous sm: ore seams have been found in this wa Where these seams have been sunk upon they have invariably grown wider with depth, notwithstanding that none has been opened to '@ depth greater than what is necessary to s legal discovery hole. It is decidedly a mine making reglon, and men of good judgment are confident it will be- come a rich producer, ——— Cody to Have Water Workas.
