Shot nt a Snrnk Thief.
Frank Dickinson is not an unqualified suc
cess as a sneak thief and burglar. Ho entered
the room of R. A. McCrono nnd W. L. Ed
wards at 1010 California street about dV
o'clock last evening , nnd was discovered by
tbo regular occupants of the room on their
return from supper. Ho tried to hide behind -
hind a dresser , but finally remarked that K310
wns drunk nnd * gucssod bo was la
th wrong room. " Williams coincided
in this view and reached for his
revolver , whereupon the stranger dashed
down tbo stairs and up the alloy with Will-
lams In closu pursuit. A bullet whistled past
the fugitive's car and ho surrcnaorcd. Ho
was turned ever to Ofllccr White. lok
Tha prisoner gave the name of Frank Dick
inson and said his homo was In Indianapolis
undthat no arrived hero Saturday. Ho do-
tiled having boon la the houso. but was posl-
-v V lively identified by both Williams and Mo- !
Crone , Two coats which ho had taken from
the room were found upon him when be imu
overhauled. A charge of burglary will bo
preferred against him.
A. MAN OF MANY AMABHB.
A Bco Jinn Unearths Some New
In the Hodfcoi-M Onsc.
About four weeks ago the member of Tnt !
BUR staff who reported Iho Indian trouble for
tI this paper had occasion to spend n uay or so
In I Rushvlllo , Neb. , twcnty-flvo miles from
the l scat of the disturbance. Stopping at the
same hotel that ho did was n small sized ,
rather boyish-faced young man , apparently
twpnty-twoortwenty-thrcoyearsoldjwhohad
lost his loft arm. Ho was well dressed and
sat around the ofllco a great dual , but sccmeu
averse to talking with any one. TUo-
only tlmo that THE HEK man remembered
having beard hint talk nt all was when someone
ono asked him how ho came to lese his arm.
Ills reply was. as near as it can bo recalled ,
that whllo engaged In n mock battle as a
member of a homo military company somewhere -
where in the cast , his arm had been shot off
by the premature discharge of n cannon. It
is also remembered that when seine ono sug
gested that ho deserved n pension the young
man replied thnt ho was receiving a small
pension from the state on account of his dis
ability.
Tl me passed on , Tim Bnn man completed
his work , nnd returning toJOmalm , resumed
his routine duties In tha local department of
bis papw. which among other tnlngs in
cluded daily calls at the county Jail lu search
of news
Yesterday afternoon when he called nt the
county prison , Jailor Lynch raised n window
and in reply to the Inquiry as to what , If any ,
she had , wuwerod :
' They have brought that young man
Rodgers , the would bo sulcldo , up hero from
the city Jail. Ho says thnt whllo they have
prevented him thus far from taking hla llfo ,
iio won't bo failed any longer , hut will no\v
starve himself to dath nnd ho seems to menu
Just what ho8ny , . "
The fact that this much-written-about
young man had hit u | n iv now plan for tak
ing his llfo was , in Itself , a good llttlo item
nnd inasmuch ns the reporter In question hud
never scon Rodgers ho wont Into the Jail to
sco him.
"Como into tbo private ofllco nnd I will
have the guards bring him lu. " said Jailor
Lynch The caller complied. Presently n
scufflolu the corridor was heard , accom
panied by such prolestations as , "I don't
want to sco him. " " 1 don't want to see the
reporter nt all. "
Alternating with the protests wore laugh
ter and remarks by the guards , who ex
claimed , "Oh. como along. You'vo scon lots
of reporters since you como to Omaha , and
you needn't ' bo afraldof this one , for ho won't
hurt you. "
"Yes , " said the person first heard , "but I
don't waut to see that reporter , " with empha
sis on the "thnt. "
Another minute and a boyish fucod young
man with only ono arm was brought to the
door of the private oflico.
"Why , como on in hero , young man. " re
marked Tiiu BUE man , "nobody is going to
hurt you. "
The prisoner , dressed in blue overalls ,
finally came forward and took a sent beside
the reporter , who noticed that th'o reluctant
young man was eyeing him very sharply.
" 1 hoar you've adopted n now fad going to
starve yourself to death , " began THE BEE
man as a starter.
Without paying the slightest attention to
the remark , nnd after gazing nt the reporter
several minute * , he remarked in a firm and
very emphatic tone :
' Mr. , don't ' you know mot"
To hear a man whom , ho thought ho never
heard of before call bis name was astonish
ing bnvond expression to the reporter , who
replied :
"As I look a second time , and very closely ,
your face docs look somewhat familiar. "
"You saw me at Pine liidgo agency 1" said
the prisoner.
"Neverl"
"Beg ' your pardon , you did. "
VN'amo some ono of the Pine Ridge people
whom you met , " said the reporter.
The prisoner gave three or four names.
"Never heard of any such people there ,
and I know the names of nearly or quite
every white man there , " said the reporter ,
and then asked :
"Whoro did you btopl"
"In a tent across from the hotel , " replied
Kodgers.
"Impossible. There were only hospital
nnd oBlcera' touts across from the hotel.
Now toll me , " continued the reporter , "tho
unroo of the proprietor of that hotel. "
Tno prisoner guvo a name wholly different
from the right ono.
"What were you doing at Pine Rldgol"
"Correspondent for the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat. "
"And now I will bog your pardon and say
Hint Tin : BEE furnished Iho Globe-Democrat
with its dispatches. "
" 0 , well but then oh , you know , I
mean that I wrote special articles for the
Globo-Domocrat. "
"Namo some of the correspondents at Pine
Ridge agency. "
Rodgers couldn't name ono at'tho agencv.
By this tlmo It had dawned on THE Bun
man Just whore bo ruully hnd met tbo young
fellow , and so ho remarked :
"You nro right in saying you have seen mo
before , but wrong In saying that it was at
Pine Ridge. You met mo in the Northwest
ern hotel at Rush villo. What name did you
register under at Rushvlllo I"
"I do not care to'say. "
"It won't bo hard to Had out. Wo will try
the wire tonight and sco. Will you tell mo
what name you signed to your correspond
ence to the Globe-Democrat ? "
"No , I don't euro to tell you that , cither. "
"Have to use tno wire again , then. "
"Well , if you do , you will Hud It's still a
different ono tnau those I gavoat PinoKidgo ,
Rush villo , or thnt I have given here. "
"To change the subject , " said the reporter ,
. "have the papers here been treating you
about right thus far in your trouble ? "
"No , sir , they have not. They have been
saying that 1 hnvo confessed to all sorts of
things. I have confessed to notnlng- . They
hnvo called mo a horse thief. When I got
out of this I will ranko it hot for them. "
' Then you hnvo changed your mind about
killing vourself are not going to commit
sulcldo like a coward , but you are going to
brace un , face the muslo and fight your way
out of these suspicions ] "
The young pnsoner blusued to a carmine
when ho realized how ho had trapped himself
as to his statement of his Intentions. Fin
ally ho said :
'O , it's ' all this way : There Is a mighty
stronircaso of circumstantial evidence against
mo in the death of that girl you have read
about in that letter of mine that was pub
lished. Many a man has been hung on purely
circumstantial evidence. I've boon roaming
up and down the world for three years trying
to got away from having to meet that case of
circumstantial evidence , but I know Just
about whore a trial under it will end. You'vo '
never had such a load to carry. If you
had you wouldn't blame mo for thinking
strongly of taking my own llfo. "
Ono Per Cent Guvernmont Lonna.
PAI.MTIIA , Nob. , Fob. 10. To the Editor of
TIIKBCK : la your weekly issue of the 4th
you ask the portlnono question , "What bene
fit do the people who are not farmers receive
from this arrangement ! " You answer
"Nono. " Allow mo the prlvllogo'ns a mem
ber of the Nebraska commonwealth to giro
you my views in relation to this matter. <
Farmers , as a branch of the community ,
cannot bo benefited or injured without It
affecting every other branch In the business
world. To confirm this vioiy of the quoslion
I will quota W. lioncolono , In Macmtllan's
Magazine for 18SO , on the much vexed prob
lem of Ireland's wrongs : "In Iho past year
tenants have awakened to tbo value of drain
ing , and tbo loans at 1 per cent last winter
from the government did great good. " Again
adds -'Practically these loans
no : were a most
successful step. " Right bore wo have a pre
cedent of government loans by a inomirchlal
government at 1 per cent for a useful pur
pose , and also a continuation by a senator to
the fact that such a policy was of great good
and that it was a most successful step. You
coucludo with tha doleful comment , "It is
difficult to think that any sauo man could bo-
llovo that such a measure can ever have the
endorsement of the American people , " For
ono I endorse the English precedent for the
simple reason that an Irish landlord declares
It did great good and was a successful step.

streets nt the hour named.
Bofcro the sale commenced the crowd
amused itself by exploring the old Planters'
house and a few of the neighboring struct
ures. Many of the rooms in the old cara
vansary were still occupied and the tenants
craned their nodes from the windows like n
lot of hornets looking to BCO what stranger
baa disturbed them la their avocation. All
of the other buildings on the block were oc
cupied , in spite of the notices to vacate
which had been served upon them nbout
three weeks ago. In only ono instance were
the occupants making visible prepar.Uloas to
vacate , nnd thnt was the two-story residence
on Seventeenth street.
Promptly nt 10 o'clock Ed Allen mounted
tbo steps nt the entrance to the Planters'
house on Sixteenth street , nnd published the
notice nnd terms of the sale In n loud voice.
Tbo noi.se attracted many passorrf by and in a
few moments the .sidewalk was completely

Prominent among these In the crowd stood
Thomas Murray. .loo Hodman. Mlko Leo ,
Frank Kaspor. II. K. Burkot , Dennis Cun

After announcing that the brick kitchen nt
the rear of the Planters' house would DC sold
separately bids were Invited on the old frame
building.
Tom Murray opened the ball by offering $23
ns a starter. This was quickly followed by a
ralso to * 100 , nnd for a few moments the bids
rolled In nt a r.inld rate , the ratio of increase
gradunlly growing smaller. After consider
able coaxing tbo otter was raised to $ ± > , nnd
was knocked down to Frank ICaspar at that
ilpuro.
The crowd then surged along to the next
building on the north , the two-story , tumble
down structure occupied by a barber shop
nnd a chlneso laundry. This was started nt
$ i > by L , Woodworth , nnd raised slowlv to
MO. belngsoldto 13. R , Overall.
The next building , occupied by Dennis
Cunningham's blacksmith shop , was started

him $3 , which caused Murray to withdraw ,
The price was gradually raised to J12 and
sold to Dennis Cunningham at that figure.
' 1 ho old familiar "blue barn" was the next
in order and was started at $10. This was
quickly doubled by Tom Murray , who started
through the building lo size it up. Mean
while the bidding was raised slowly nnd pain
fully by f I olds until § o3 was reached. Mur
ray woula not sco this bid and it was knocked
off to Andrew BerteL
The next was a one-story building , glo
rious in a fresh coat of bright rod paint. It
was occupied as a moat market , which was In
full blast. Ton dollars was the startlnr
point nnd several moments of hugriingralscd
this to $25. Mr. Alexander sold "Let her
go , " and HermaaTrottncr was recorded a ?
the purchaser.
Another one-story building was next , occu
pied as a clothing store. This was started nt
$15 and was turned over to Joe Redman
The two-story building occupied by n bar
ber shop and a clpar store was the last on
Sixteenth street and was started at Si" . This
was raised slowly to $37 uud sold to Nicl :
Rush at that fii/uro.
liy this tlmo the crowd bad increased until
there were about six hundred citizens congre
gated at the scene and these wcro led tuck to
the rear of the Planters' house and the bid
ding commenced on the brick kitchen. This
was started at $15 and was raised slowly to
$ )0 ) , being knocked down to Fritz Miller.
The old Byron Hoed mansion on Dodge
street was the next la order and was started
at $25 by L. Woodworth. For a few moments
the bidding was spirited but $43 was the limit
and Andrew Bcrtol was tbo happy purchaser.
The last building to bo sold was tbo two-
story residence on Seventeenth street , the
best so far of any of the buildings , and $100
was offcreu botoro the auctioneer had reach
ed the ground. This was quickly followed
by $150. WOO , and soon by fifties to $400.
From that point the amount increased grad
ually by small bids until $ BU was reached

Woodworth being the purchaser.
This closed the sale , which hal occupied
forty-live minutes nnd on which $991 had
