Yesterday afternoon Ofllccr Mutphy ar
rested n limn \ > y the iitxino of John Wubbor
nnd took him to tlio police headquarters ,
where ho was asked to occupy an easy chair
In tlio private oflloo or Chlof C.iroy. Tlio scat
ww soft nnd comfortable at the start but It
became very hard in the oIllcUl screw was
diligently pressed down upon him. Before
ho WAS permitted to lenvo it ho would have
been willing to have exchanged It for the
hardest kind of an old fashioned r.ill If the
rail had borne him out of town. When ho
was Invited to vacate It It was ut > on the invi
tation to accompany Qfilccr .Murphy to the
city jtul , where he was booked without any
charKO being placed against him and turned
over to the manual with the request to lock
him up In ono of the upp.-r rooms nnd deny
every person tlio privilege of talking to him.
This Interdiction , which Is quite advisable
under the clrcunistaucos , proven ted the re
porters getting nil of the Inside facts of a
very smooth and cntliely original confidence
pamo which Webber has assisted In working.
The developments made last night Indicate
that a lurgo number of real estate owners
have hint mortgages executed against their
property bv woblvr and his confederates
which will Involve extensive litigation and
inalte tioilblu all around.
A few days ago two men entered the ofllco
of a well I ? nown real estate man on Bro.yi-
way and Inquired for a notary. One of them
was Introduced as George Colthard of Harri
son county , Iowa , ulio is well known as a
heavy ical estate owner. The other man in
troduced himself as John Webber. Their
business was to procure tha acknowledg
ment of u mortgairo on Colthatd's prop
erty In favcr of Webber. The Identlll-
cation of Colthard was deemed sulllelcnt and
the mortgage was acknowledged. Immedi
ately after getting the mortgage the men left
the oBlco and ten minutes later were in the
ofllco of a well known chattel loan agent and
real estate broker , to whom they sold the
mortKago at a liberal discount. When the
tnortirngo was put on record it attracted at-
tcntlon In Hairlson countv. and the real
owner of the property Jumped on the train
and came down to see about It. Ho pro
nounced It fraudulent , und went from the
olllco of the real estate trail to that of the
chief of police , where ho tol.d his story.
AVebbcr was still In town , nnd In u few
moments after the Missouri Valley man
reached the police headquarters O nicer Mur
phy was dispatched to bring the fellow
In. Whllo closeted with the chief
of police ho gave away the whole
story , and confessed that ho and his partner ,
whom ho introduced 0.1 Colthard , had been
dolnp an extensive business In fraudulent
mortfrnges. The Information resulted in the
prompt arrest at Missouri Valley of the part
ner. who impersonated Colthard , but whojo
re.il name is P. M. Wills , well known in the
village , lie \vas brought down by a AIls-
souri Valley olllccr last evening and taken to
the county jail.
Some remarkable revelations are prom
ised which will show that those fellows have
succeeded in plastering1 mortgages upon real
estate scattered throughout I'ottawnttninio
and Harrison counties , and have succeeded
in disposing of many of them to Innocent
purchasers.
The developments In the Webber-Colthard
conlldenco case that caino to light after 8
o'clock last night show the operations of these
men to bo a moat gigantic swindle that In
volves several thousand acres of land , lo
cated chiefly In Harrison county. Ono of
the men most interested in this city is Ma.
Samuel Haas. The deeds and mortgages
given cover about 1,000 , acres of 2,000-ucro
farm in Harrison county , lie returned from
Missouri Valley last evening accompanied by
"Willis , the fellow who has impersonated Col
thard. On January ! 1 Mr. Haas received a
telegram from Logan , the county
scat of Harrison county , acquainting
him with the fact that deeds to
n large part of his land had been placed upon
record. lie went at once to Investigate it
nnd found that quit claims , warranty deeds
and mortgages had been put upon the record
covering live sections of land in Hairison
county. The fraudulent transfers covered
sections 2' . ' , L'3 , ! ' ( , 27 and S3 , range 70-15. The
ilrst was a mortgage given by the alleged
Colthard to Webber. Then eamo a quit claim
deed to the property from Mary Dennis of
U.ilosburg , 111. , convoying It to Webber , who
In turn conveycs it by warranty deed to the
wife of George Colthard , the uona ildo liar-
rfoon man ,
The mortgage was drawn by F. J. Schnorr ,
a real estate dealer in tills elty , who has an
ofllco over the Corner book store on Broad
way. Ho claims that the work was done
upon the request of the two men represent
ing themselves to he Colthard and Webber.
It was taken to Walter Stlllman , a young no
tary , and acknowledged , The deeds were
acknowledged by a notary named Ituthor-
fonl , in thu P.ixto'i block , Omahii. Two
women were picked up In the city , whom
Webber now says were prostitutes , and taken
before the Onrihii notary , one to impersonate
Mary Dennis ana the other to assUt la iden
tifying her. In all the transfers and the
mortgage the consideration was il/iOO. After
the mortgage was executed Webber and Wil
lis , thu impersonator of Colthard , went to
Sehnorr's olllco and negotiated it. They
claim that Schnorr gave them $100 for It.
The lands involved , upon which there is not
a shadow of defect in title , are owned by
Mr. Haas of this city and the following
named Harrison countv people : Joe Hross ,
Mr. Evans , Cal r ougnlin , Marv E. Lee , S.
S. Peters , Mr. tjbaclchmd and W. II. Sharp-
ncck. The mortgage covers u part of bcctioa
SJS , nnd the tltlo Is represented to bo in
Elinor Stewart , who Is claimed to bo the
only living relative of William Galoy , deceased -
ceased , wli 11 o hi fact Mr , Ciuloy Is alive uud
well.
well.Tho
The object of nil the transfers seems to bo
only a desire to throw a cloud upon thu titles
to Ilia lands , pet the fraudulent deeds and
mortgages in the hands of Innocent pur
chasers and then bleed the owners for nny
amount to be obtained to clear up the do
feels.
The strangest of the transfers is the ono
convoying all the 3'JlX ) aciea of land to the
wife of George Colthard , thu bona lido Mis
souri Valley man. Air. Haas held an ani
mated conversation wl'.h him yesterday , and
ho promptly offered to rwonvoy the whole
back to the rightful owners. There are some
things la this connection that cannot bo
spoUon of at the present time , but Itisclaitnci
that the real Mr. Colthnrd will ho able to explain -
plain away bis connection with this last
transaction.
Doth Wills and Webber made a full con
fession to Chief Carey h\st night hi thu pres
ence of Mr. Haas. Just what it Is Cannot ho
known for some tlmo. Both admit that the
Mary Dennis Is a nivlli and was imperson
ated by the women alluded to whoso names
they will not disclose , saying merely that
they were engaged for the purpose.
Webber Is a Council Blulls man and for a
month or mure has been running a. llttlo
butcher shop on Broadway , n ear the North
western depot. Ho has evidently been ropoi
in by Willis and others solely for the purpose
of assisting in procuring the acknowledge
ments in Council Bluffs , of which tticro uro
several.
Willis Is a resident of Missouri Valley am
bus relatives near Mondatuln , Ho formerly
lived near Jacksonville1 , 111 ,
Schnorr , who figures quite prominently In
the deal , has been n resident of the city for
several months. A fact that Is looked upoi
ns being somewhat significant by thuoniccrs
was the discovery in the pocket of Wcbuer of
n card aimoundnt , ' that "K J. Schnorr" was
thu cashlorof the Bank of Qulutcr of Quln
ter , ICiiu ,
Three or four reporters called at the real
dcnco of Schnorr at 'M Stutsman street las
night at 10 o'oloclc. Ho had retired , out no
corded the reporters an Interview through
the closed door. It was not very satisfac
tory. Ho professed to believe the deal was
all right and to bcllovo there was nothing
fraudulent about It. Ho scorned consldornblj
surprised whoa the newspaper men ques
tiouod him about' his banking business h
Oulntcr , Kuu. When told that Webber tint
Wills were in the city aad utiaer arrest h
was still more surprised.
Importaut developments are eipcctet
n the case today. HM believed that the
rnnsnctlons of these fellows wilt cloud the
I lira to a great deal more land than hat been
llscovored to bo effected.
Prompt steps hnvo been taken to clear the
Itlcs to lands involved.

George C. McCrono , republican representa
tive elect from Adams county , tbo Thirty-
Ilrst district , will bo unseated tomorrow by
the democrats on the ground of ineliglblllty.
This was decided upon tonight by the demo
cratic steering committee. It was decided
that ns the full democratic strength of
seventy-seven members is now lu the city
no time should bo lost in disposing
of the contested election cases , and that Me-
Crone , being one wherein' the evidence was
brief , should bo acted upon at onco. Ho was
u resident of the state of Kansas in 18b7 and

thinks the democratic Vejrrescntntlves from

A Jl VNIMIKXTS.
"Tho Boston inns" won n notable success
nst evening at the Boyd by their excellent
nterpretatlon of Do Kovcn and Smith's new
comic opera , "Hobin Hood. "
The house was crowded with tlio admirers
of these capable singers nnd us each of the
irluclpals appeared the applause which fol-
owed testlllcd to the loyalty the public has
'or those who arc faithful to them. And the
scogidtlon Tom Karl , H. C. llarabro , Marie
Stone , W. H. McDonald , George B. Frothing-
inm received at tbo hands of those In
front must have been a rare pleasure indeed.
But of the opera !
Mr. Smith has succeeded In weaving from
thu material of the Hobln Hood legends a
very quaint little story , sulllclently involved
to merit close interest In Its dcvolpiuciit
mil marked by n considerable cleverness In
; boexecution of Its detail.
It deals with the schemes of the sheriff of
Nottingham , a comic villain unite a
Jit suggestive of the Koko typo
to wrest Irom Kobcrt of Huntlngtonhls birth
right and his bride , Marion , by betting up
he loutish Guy of CJlsborno as a pretender.
For a time the sheriff succeeds , but , as In all
Ilrst class comic operas. , the third net brings
consternation to the plotters and peace nnd
concord to the people who have suffered
through the machinations of the villain and
hU henchmen.
Kobort , for something better to do , Joins the
outlaws of Sherwood forest ns their com-
minder and assumes the name of Hobln
Eiood. Like all licioes In drama and opera ,
10 bides bis tune which , of course , comes
round to his liking.
The uniler-plot treats of the loves of Allan-
n-Dalo and Dame Durdcn's ' wlnsomo duugb-
tcr Anuabco.
The author of the book hns shown a wise
discretion In Introducidgjust enough archaic
forms to give piquancy nnd local color to the
opera without eclipsing his text.
Now nnd then his humor Is very suggestive
of Gilbeit , nnd then again It quite lapses Into
broad farce , but throughout it Is always what
it Is aimed to bo , entertaining und amusing.
Much could , with entire jubilee , be written
In prulso of Mr. DoKovcn's scoro. It Is
clothed in n musical garb , the colors of which
are bright , crisp and delicately blinded.
There Is hardly a single bar , much less a
number , thut is not musical to a degree mid
erected upon a musical plane. Ho has adapted
himself to the tlmo In which the opera Is
located and his madrigals , roundelays , part
songs and glees uro gems of dainty setting.
The instrumentation is clear ami remark
ably well balanced , much more than you
would look for in the American composer ,
who , until now , has had a sorry time making
the public at largo believe ho understood the
ethics of his profession. From the firstborn
notes of the overture , which so pleasantly
suggests the Hobm Hood tradition , to the
ilnal curtain , there is nothing to offend the
most conservative car.
But of the company.
Mr. Karl was In excellent voice nnd sang
the role of Robin Hood with line effect. Now
and then ho showed a disposition to slight
tno taking of notes , however , which de
tracted just a trifle from his otherwise pleas
ing performance.
Mr. Barnaoco , who is ono of the most
unctuous comedians on the lyric stage , easily
extracted all the humor that was to bo gotten
out of the part of the Sheriff nna deservedly
made the hit of the evening.
Miss Marie Stone made a dashing Maid
Marlon , who gives up fame and fortune to
follow her outlaw lover to the glades. She
sang well and throughout was pleasingly
artistic.
Mr. Eugene Cowlos has a fine futuo before
him. Ho has a rich bass voice which lilted
the part of Will Scarlet like ft glorio , and
In In his solo , "Tho Armorer's Song , " a
gem in its way made n deserved hit ,
Georu-o B. Frothtngbam , tbo low comedian
"
of tho" company , played Friar Tuck nnd
played It with a rare artistic toush. As
for the singing ho can always bo ro
lled upon nnd is ono of the
most serviceable men In the organization.
Messrs. W. H. McDonald as Llttlo John and
Pctor Lang as Sir Guy were imito safisfac-
tory.Miss
Miss Flora Finlnyson , who was substituted
for Miss Jessie Bartlctt Davis , played Allen-
a-Dalo. a dashing , romantic part , quite
charmingly. Miss Finlaysoa sang the part
very acceptably , but her acting was very
still nnd stagey. This will probably wear
off as the lady becomes more familiar with
her rolo. Miss Grace Bcals , quito n pretty
girl by the way , and the one newcomer In the
company , pluyod Annabel acceptably , MUs
Bartlett being vigorous n Dnmo Dunden.
Itevival Meetings.
Roy. S. M. Ware of the Second Presby
terian church Is being assisted In a revival
meeting by Key. Chess Birch , the "Singing
Evangelist" of St. Louts , Uov. Birch is an
excellent talker , u sweet singer and a first
class player on tno cornet. Ho plays on a
gold-lined cornet which was presented to
him by the St. Louis Young Men's Christian
association. Great interest Is manifested
and manv are being porsuudcd to turn In
with the church and embrace Christianity ,
Hov. Birch leads the singing with his cot-net ,
which seems to fill the whole house with do-
llclous music.
Qev. Charles \V. Savldgo Is engaged In n
very interesting scries of revival meetings at
the Newman Methodist cburub. A largo
number have already boon persuaded to start
In n new und hotter way of living and uidto
with the church. The meetings will bo con
tinued insellnltelv , and will bo hold every
night in the week.
