Yesterday evening a telephone mcssngq
from Chief Seavey of Omaha acquainted
Chief Corey with ttio fact that a clothing
ntora liU'l been burglarized In Fremont , Nob. ,
and the belief that the burglars had reached
Council Bluffs. A description of them was
given , nnd in less than an hour three of them

stolen clothing bad been recovered.

they were Just displaying for salo. They
were placed under arrest but on the way to
the atntlon ono of them got away , but was re
captured after n lively chase through the

revolvers and it is thought a lot of other

were recovered but Iho Jewelry was not
found.
At 10 o'clock inst night Chief Carey turned
from Broadway down Bryant street on his
way to the station , and ho noticed two fal
lows lighting cigarettes from the sumo match.
They were standing in the shadow of a buildIng -
Ing , nnd the Hash of the match only lighted
their fnccs as they leaned forward to ignite
their clpnrettes. The Almighty had written
"crook" so plainly on their faces that the
chief gathered them without a particle of

searched a largo n.unntltr of the stolen Fro-
uiont goods was found In their possession ,
and they were locked up with their three

The developments in the Colthnrd-\Vebber-
Wills real estate conspiracy which were
made public yesterday thro1. ' but llttlo ad
ditional light upon the extraordinary crime ,
nnd only surmises of fuels can fully explain
the remarkable tangle , which is still pro
foundly puzzling those who huvo been en
gaged in the effort to unravel it for the past
wce.k.
A good deal of light , however , was thrown
upon the matter by the confessions of Wills
and Webber. WIIU first confesses that
Webber Is simply a tool they picked up for
the purpose and who was to bo well paid for
the rascally part bo bus played. Wills' says
ho Is the chief executor , but solemnly de
clares that the whole schoino was hatched by
GcorgoColthard , the real Gcorgo Colthard
of Harrison county , who Is nn extensive land
owner uuu reputed to bo among the
most solid financial citizens of the
county. Wills avers that every move and
every net was planned by the real Colthard ,
nnd that ho ( Wills ) ngreedj to impersonate
him for the purpose of carrying out the
scheme. What that scheme was con only be
surmised , buta good deal Is explained by the
fact that Colthard had conceived n bitter en-
mlty to Samuel Unas of this city , whoso 2,000
ncro furm in Hnrrlson county adjoins the
Colthard plnco , There had been some trouble
over u division fence , and Haas had procured
nn injunction rcstralningColthard from doing
certain things in connection with It , Col-
than ] Imil violated the injunction nnd Haas
had sworn out an information for his aircst
for contempt , nnd ho was placed under arrest
ami taken to Logan to answer for his disre
gard of the court's order , From tbo confes
sions inailo by Wills it now seems that tlio
original scheme was concocted by the real
Colthard for the purpose of getting rovcngo
upon Ilnar by casting a cloud upon the title
to his kind.
If tills presumption Is true , and It Is gen
erally'accepted by the owners of the land ,
then it Is proluiblu that the schema grew Into
n gigantic conspiracy to make money out of
the deal. Six transfers were filed for record
in the Harrison' county recorder's ofllco and
taken awiiv immediately after they were re
corded. Two or three acknowledgements
wore tnken In Council Bluffs , and It is ad
mitted by Wills that about a dozen deeds
were acknowledged lu Omaha by a notary
.named Kuthcrford. What they intended to
do with thcso deeds is a mystery , unless they
proposed to sell the lands wherever they
could find a buyer. The last deed put on rec
ord in Loirnn convoyed live full sections of
land in Harrison county to Mrs. George
Colthard , nnd Wills says" ho delivered that
fraudulent deed to Colthard himself. The
consideration he named in the deed was
$ lOUj , ! ) less than 00 cents an acre for the best
farm lands in the county , which nro worth
from 10 to STiO. This part of the transaction
is whatColthard will have to explain to the
grand Jury.
Tlio developments yesterday are considered
favorable to F. .T , Schnorr , the real estate
broker in this city , who admitted that ho
purchased a $1WO mortgage upon KiO acres
of land for ? 1X ( ) . The ofllccrs now believe
him to have been an innocent purchaser from
the start , but they nro at a loss to know how
It was that ho did not realize what the situa
tion was a short time afterward.
Wills and Webber nro still in Jail hero.
They will soon bo taken bo fore the Harrison
county grand Jury , which will bo asked to re
turn indictments ngalust all implicated.
Informations were sworn out last night for
the arrest of nil the parties implicated in the
deal nnd the warrants will bo Issued this
morning. This is for the purpose of holding
Webber and Wills until they are wanted by
the Harrison county authorities. Chief Carey
had them in the sweat box again last even
ing , but the only information elicited was
their positive assertion that F , J. Schnorr
knew that the mortgage obtained
of them was fraudulent. They have
uttered so many falsehoods that the officers
are satisfied that this is another , and that
Schnoor's connection with the deal is all
straight. Lnstiilght Schnoor took steps to
protect himself by getting an attachment
upon some property owned by Webber , hereby
saving a i art of bis loan.
Mr. Schnoor uetired TUB BED to print the
following explanation of his cqnno.tlo.i with
the great swindle :
To the Editor of Tun Bnn : In Justice to
myself Idcem It necessary , slnco your article
In this mornings paper connecting mo with a
fraudulent mortgage scheme , to state to the
public my connection with the matter. The
man , John Weber or Webber , came to my of
fice about four weeks ago stating ho hnS re
cently moved from Omaha and intended open
ing a meat mnrkotnnd desired a' smvll loan.
Not being able to identify himself on this
side , I refused ( to make the loan. Several
days afterward ho came again nnd stated ho
had made arrangements to open a shop near
the Northwestern depot and desired a loan
tbo following day. 1 called that evening and
found meat market tixturcs at the plnco ho
intended starting. The following day , De
cember'- , ' , I made him n small loan on a
horse , buggy and harness , which ended oilr
business until December Ul , when ho culled
nnd Introduced the man Colthard , and ho
( \VebUcr ) ) stated they wanted a mortgage for
* lf , > 00 id rawu up. I answered I could
write tbo mortgage , but I could
not acknowledge it ns I was not a
notary. I wrote tlio mortgage , taking the
discription from deeds they showed me.
When done they paid ipo 25 cents for writing
It and departed to have It acknowledged.
January 5 Weber called again , alone , and
said ho had made another deal with the Harrison
risen county man , whereby ho had got some
horses , wagon , Harness and I think ! 3W)0 )
bushel of corn , nnd ho requested a loan
of $ aO to defray his expenses
while getting this property , offering the
* lfiOO note as security , which loan I made
I gave him a check for $ i8. January 7 ho
called ngain and said ho hud Just returned
from Mondmln and found everything all
right except the corn , which was in an clo-
valor instead of cribs in the county , and that
bo might have trouble getting it , but tnc
balance of the chattels were offered him. Ho
then produced the $ lfiOO mortgage , which
Mad been duly recorded , nnd stated ho would
need n llttlo money from time to time nnd
would give mo the $1MX ) mortgage as secur
ity until the note was collected , , being duo
March 1,1S01 , nnd would pay mo 7100 for
collecting It. .1 told him I could not advance
him very much money until I had found out
the mortgage was good security and then
would advance him a reasonable amount. As
ho concluded f.V ) or $00 would do at present
I wrote a note for $100 , which amount I palil
him less the 10 note and my commission on
the $100 loan. I did not mistrust anything
wrong until January 8.
This , and this only Is my connection In the
matter. I have acted in perfect good faith In
this as In all other transactions , and 1 urn
pleased to refer to my past rtcord nnd all 1
have done business with. I owned ono-hulf

Tbo shadow has again fallen upon the

Gottlnjj lleiidy Tor a Struggle.
To bo n saloonkeeper or no t to bo n saloon
keeper Is a problem that is profoundly
agitating something less than eighty men
who are engaged in the business in this city.
Five of them have already solved the problem
negatively by the assistance of the police nnd
a largo majority of the others will reach n
conclusion today. The conclusion must bo
made to the city clerk and accompanied by n
certified chec-itot the coin of the realm to the
amount of 50 , with $2.10 additional as a per
quisite to the marshal. If this course is not
followed ill who neglect to do so will bo
vigorously assisted by the marshal , his
deputies and thocntlro police force If neces
sary In coining to the conclusion that the
most . desirable thing is to go out of tho.liquor
business altogether. i
When tbo clocits strike the midnight hour
tonight the last second of grace will have
passed , according to the mayor's ' proclama
tion , when they can p.iy into the city treas
ury the doubled monthly license. Failure to
pay without further notification will bo taken
as the saloon men's defiance of the mayor's
order , and the orders are to close up at once
every saloon in delinquency. Under the now
rule saloonkeepers must como Into the office
of the city clerk between the 1st nnd the 10th
of each mouth and pay their licenses or quit
business. Out of the eighty-three running a
week ugo five have bcen'closod upon refusal
to nay the Increased tax. Less than half of
the others have paid but the majority of them
are said to have expressed their willingness
to do so today rather than bo subject to arrest
and Imprisonment which Is certain to follow
Oelay. They nro willing to try it one mouth
before arriving at n dellmto decision.
A majority of the saloon men have cher
ished the opinion that the mayor would not
adhere to his determination to enforce the
collection of tdo double license , but during
the last twclvo hours they have bad that
opinion sadly shaken.
"I am confident , " sold ono of thorn yester
day "tha * . the will either
, city see one of two
things , tbo hottest saloon war lu tbo whole
state or tbo number of saloons cut down to
less than o'no-hnlf the present number. Tbo
hitter is what Mayor Macrae and his ad
visors desire , but I can 500 but llttlo hope of
its realization. Tlicro are riiauy of us who
are perfectly willing to pay the JOOO a year
demanded and could afford to do it if there
was not so many places where liquors
are sold by people without responsi
bility , whoso luck of sense , decency
nnd honor bring the largest share of tbo
odium upon the trafllc. Wo would like to
see thorn closed up , hut the moment they nw
closed they will become prohibitionists and
they will start out and make it hot for their
moro respectable brethren. They will llnd
attorneys to take their cases and they will
Whip us nil into a genuine ghost dance that
will end in knocking the city's fees galley
west. The saloons have been paying about
$ ,000 monthly into tbo city treasury , and I
am sorry the administration has not been
satisfied with it.11
The general talk of the men engaged in
the traflio Is ttiat they will try It ono month ,
but they will occupy the time In organizing
for a hot fight the next.

It Will Go the House the Latter Part
of Next Week.
WASHINGTON" , Jan. I ) . It is the general ox-
pectntlon that the latter part of next week
the senate financial bill will como over to the
house nnd members are awakening to the pos
sibility of another strife over the measure ,
somewhat similar to that preceding thoonnct-
tnont of the present silver law. There is con
siderable speculation' as to the shnpo the bill
will take iu the senate , as its features outside
of the free coinage proposition , which is
looked upon as Inevitable , will to some extent
inlluciico the members in their views. On
this point the silver men themselves do not
appear to bo united. Some think that the bill
should bo passed providing for nothing what
ever save free coinage , ns they fcnr considera
tion would bo retarded if the bill were
lumbered up with general banking legis
lation. Others nro ot the opinion that free
coinage wruld bo strengthened by association
with those sections , popular in tho'cost. .
When the bill comes over to the house the
general impression is that it will bo at ouco
referred to the house committee on coinage.
However , the attitude which the speaker will
assume towards the bill hero becomes of Im
portance , nnd there is good reason to believe
that Heed bos not himself determined upon
his course. A prominent western republican
silver man , n member of the coinage commit
tee , nnd n friend of the speaker , said the bill
would go to the colnige committee and would
bo reported to the house. If the bill was not
reported within a reasonable time n motion
would be made to discharge the committee
nnd take the bill up for action in the houso.
The speaker has It In his power to ho a great
stumbling block In the matter , nnd for this
reason his attitude is a subject of Intense in
terest ,

for some of the guards In camp north of here ,

Messiah promised the ghost dancers should
they follow his ndvlco nnd go on

doubtless leads ninny Indians to bcllevo the
Messiah has kept his promise In this respect ,
and this fact has greatly stimulated them In

after much gesticulation , put spurs to

gjuin , to TUB BEE. ] Companies B and I of
the Second regiment , stationed at Valentino ,
and company C of the First regiment , sta
tioned at Crawford , have been ordered hero
und will arrive some tlmo today. The reason
for this change is that It is thought bolter to

points mentioned are amply protected by reg
ulars stationed at Forts Robinson and Nio-
brara. The military companies nro now sta
tioned as follows : Companies EandFof

nlno miles north of Kushvillo utJnrcow's
ranch ; companies C and II of the Second ,
eight miles northwest of Gordon , near Mo-
roy's ranch. Each detachment so stationed
is carefully guarded nnd cntrcuchoi and has
five mounted couriers Instead of ten , as was
first intended.

Koan case which has not heretofore been de
veloped is the throat which the defaulting
'assistant cashier of the Preston , Koan & Co.
bank , Frederick M. Ker , made when several
years ago ho was a fugitive from Justice. The
feature which gams interest in the light of
present investigation of Kean's systems Is a
letter written by ICor while attempting
to escape. Finding that the detectives were
close on his trail the absconding cashier
wrote a very interesting onistle to Mr.
Kenn attempting to persuade tlio bank ofll-
cinls to abandon the chase. The fugitive
nsltoJ that prosecution of the search bo
dropped and threatened in the event of a re
fusal to comply with his request to muko
public certain matters which bo claimed
would do harm to the Institution In which ho
had been employed. In splto of ttie threat ,
however , the case was prosecuted to the cnii
nnd Ivor served his sentence. The commuta
tion for good behavior secured his release
nearly a year ago. Ho has since been cm-
ployed as a head bookkeeper for the Bates
machine company of Jollet. A reporter
hunted him up today and asked him what ho
had to say about his old-time threat now.

Mr. Blackburn addressed the senate in ad
vocacy of Mr. Stewart's amendment * for free

the country and the world that the amend
ment was simply an effort by the representa

free coinage might rely on the veto power of

reliance. lie denounced tlio anti-sil

they mean that Just laws shall bo enacted

Nnw YOIIK , Jan. 9. [ Special Telegram to

vlo\v of trade says :
The year opens with the expected 1m-
rovemenb in the money markets nnd in col-
cctlons , resulting from the nimunl dlsburso-
icnts , which have been larger than usual ,
'ho hopeful feeling In most branches of
rado continues also , and the railroad out-
ook is Improved. It is becoming clearer
very tiny that the one great obstacle to pros-
icrity Is the fear that the debasement of the
Collar may produce a violent contraction and |
no withdrawal of foreign invostinents , the i
ollapso of credits and a disaster which will j |
10 felt by every branch ot trade and Industry.
In the cotton manufacture , also , thoshrink-
, goof credits has severely strained many
loncerns and prices of goods have been very
ow , but furthur reductions have been niauo
luring the past week in blenched cotton.
The woolen manufacture is doing fairly ,
hough extending but moderately and buying
vool with caution.
In the boot and shoo manufacture thoout-
ook Is regarded as especially favorable. Ho-
torts of trade from dlitercnt citioj are still
nuch Influenced oy reviews of last year's
; re.it business , but generally indicate a largo
volu mo of trnnic in progress for tbo season ,
with a marked Improvement slnco the rnono-
taiy pressure abated. Boston notes larger
sales of boots nud shoes and of leather und
stronger hides , linn in wool aud quiet iu
"umber. (
At Philadelphia the leather nnd shoo trades
nro dull , "Wool is in littio demand. Homo
aneaslness is seen regarding obligations in
: obncco , but better collections are reported
n paints.
At Chicago the receipts of grain are eqiul
.0 last year's ; an Increase is seen In butt r
md cheese , hldos ami wool , but n dccrc.it > o
n dressed beef , cured meats and lard. Diy
goods and clothing sales exceed last ycnr'-
ivlth excellent payments nnd the shoo trade
ncrenses. St. Louis and Cincinnati note a
bettor trade. |
U Denver trade Is good nna at Salt Lake It
s decidedly improved , while at other north-
vestern points business is unchanged and (
comparatively quiet.
Higher cotton produces , greater activity
.hrougbout the south. Sugar and rlco re
ceipts nt Now Orleans are good. The money
narkets , throughout the country , are loss
stringent nnd reports of collections more fa
vorable.
Speculative operations continue whole
some , though inactive. Wheat Is % lower ,
vlth sales of only 2',000,000 ' bushels , Corn , ,
cotton nnd pork are unchanged ; oats and oil I
ilcher , but coltce is , ' 40 lower.
The most active ccntcrof exchange at prcs-
int is the stock exchange. Foreign trade
continues favorable , exports showing a largo
rain over lastyear ; , while there is some do-
: rcase in imports. The merchandise move-
nunt shows no reason for the advance In for
eign exchange , nor docs the local market , and
, ho treasury bus put out during the week
