8 THE OMAHA DAILY BBE * FRIDAY , AUGUST 18 , "DINK" AND THE DETECTIVES Interesting Bomin.sconccs of thoOhaso After a Gunning Obici of Crooks. WILSON WAS A VERY SMOOTH WORKER Louli Zmk Sli l Tenrn of llepenlmico After Tuprlilni ; tliu Ailnmt lljtprct * CoiiiH > ny for u llunilroil Itnliy McKca Klilunped. In connection with the recent nrrcst of "Dink"Vllson , thcro nro some fncts con cerning the Omatm end of the cnso and the unsuccessful work of tlio detectives who wcro followitiK It up thnt mny bo of Interest. It will bo remembered that the first nt- tempt to mnko Uyniunllo useful In the cnr- robbing business occurred on the Chicago , Mllwnukcu & St. 1'uul rend , nenr Western Union Junction , WIs. This Initial experi ment proved such n signal success that Its authors decided to try It ngnln , or , nt least , It was not long before dyimmlto was inndo good use of In robbing u Missouri Pacific trnm at West Slilo. This was followed , u short tlmo afterwards , by the robbing of the safe at the Ames avcnuo car barn. The last two jobs convinced the oflleors de tailed on the Wisconsin robbery that the in ventors and operators of the dynamite plnn could bo found pretty close to Omaha , and hero they came and sot about looitliiR for d'luus. They were still nosing unsuccessfully whcnthorobbcr.vatGlcmlale , Mo. , occurred , and itVJIB In lookinc about for evidence nftcr that affair that they got their flrst clew. In Bcniching n house near Glcndale , which had been occupied by the supposed robbers for a short tune previous to the robbery , an empty bottle , which had con tained some lluid. presumably perfumery , was found , and on it was the label of a drug gist on Eighteenth street In Omaha. Following this ut ) , a representative of the government secret service and a trusted ngent of an eastern detective agency came to Omaha , hoping to saddle thu dynamite work onto "Dink" Wilson and his crowd , whom they had long suspected. They felt almost certain that if they could only prove that Nettle Wilson \vas the person who purchased the bottle of perfumery , the rest would bo easy. The botllo failed them , however , for it had not contained n prcscript'on , and the drupglst whuso label it bore could tell them notlilnir be.vond the fact mat ho remembered perfectly when the bottle went out of the store , but that ho could not recollect who its purchaser was. Nettle U'llnon Had Seen Them. Then , not knowing Just what else to cio , the officers decided to try and learn the whereabouts of the gang , anyway. The scnloi Wilson had some legal matters pend ing , to which the government was a party , and the ofllcers decided to make this a pretext to "got noxt. " Ac cordingly , after going out one day mill sizing up the house , they went out the next afternoon on their aliened "legal" busi ness. It seems , however , that Nettie Wil son had seen them the day before and was suspicious of them , and they were met at the door with n cold bluff und a refusal to admit them , together with the information that if they hnd any business \\ith hei father they hotter go und see his attorney. This would have shut them off entirely had not one of the gentlemen connected with the case had u certain "pull" with the at torney in question , nnd this pull was gently but effectively worked , with 1 ,1(10. ( result that the attorney induced Nettio to give up the addresses of her father nnd the bovswho wcro out near Salt Lake City , U. T. In addition to this , the de tective had tried hard to make a well known crook who was temporarily sojourning hero but who was not "wanted" ut the time , tcl what ho know of the Wilson pang and their whereabouts , but without success , it being quite possible that ho know nothing about them any way , despite the belief of the ofllf ors to the contrary. Itight here is where the Omaha part o the story leaves off. "Dinlc" and the rest o the family scattered from Salt Lake City nnd the next chapter was his arrest h Syracuse , N. Y. , for the murder of Detective Harvey , as related , along with some of Wil son's history , in TUB BCB yesterday. Another Story on U'llncin. An Interesting portion of "Dink" Wilson's history was learned from E. D. Lament , the thief brought up from Lincoln on u charge of grand larceny. Ijimoiit says that Wilson commenced his criminal career with Sly and Ucdspeth , the men who were afterward his pals in thu St Louis express robbery. Wilson , Sly am Hedspclh were serving short terms in the Missouri penitentiary , where they mot Ton Wallace , an old and experienced safe rob her , who was serving a long term for ono o his jobs. Wallace explained to the men how to crack n safe. The three men were releasei about the same time and proceeded to organi/oouo of the most desperate and dar ing gangs of crooks ever in the southwest. The men blew open several safes and then they robbed the express company. The de tectives have chased Wilson all over the country , and while the Pilikcrtons wore searching the east for him ho was in the hospital of the Jefferson City prison under the name of Jim Ofllccr , serving a twelve years sentence for robherj. Ho was taken sick , or feigned sickness , and uftor being In the hospital for eighteen months -was par doned. Ho went east , where ho killed the officer In New York for which ho is now under arrest. Wilson has n lengthy crim inal record and Is known by reputation by ofltccrs in all the leading cities in this coun try. I'otilccl n Fly Cup , Several other stories of the bandit recall his shrewdness. On tine occasion an Omaha lly cou , assisted by u park policeman , "lo cated" Wilson and several pals near Ilans- com park , The lly cop wns not sure whether Wilson was "wanted" lit that time by the authori ties. So thu myhtlo minion of the Ian- went to a neighboring store and telephoned to po- llco headquarters lor Information on the sub ject.Whim Whim an emphatic afllrmativo came over the wires the ofllccr nnd the park policeman attempted to surround their birds , but not withstanding the fact that only n few min utes had elapsed since the muchly desired Wilson and his associates were reclining at homo , they were not there when the ofllccrs .returned to capture them , It Is said that Wilson could "smell a policeman" from afar. When Wilson was n boy ho attoncod an Omaha college. An old schoolmate of his relates the fact that Wilson was passion ately fond of dlmo novels nt that time and was much more devoted to Hcadlo's yellow- backrd literature than his studies. Wilson loved to organize a crowd of college boys and light the "High school crown , " SUItllOW I'OI.MWb bTEALlNO. Louliink llncomes Itopeiituut Altur HII- rroulti ; an Kiprin * 1'ncikngt. . Louis Xink , who came here from Mary land two months ago , is a very sorry young man for several reasons. In the flrst phtco , ho Is sorry ho ever started west to seek his fortune , and again , ho Is sorry that ho stole n flUO bill from the Adams Express company Wednesday evening. Since his arrival here Xlnk has cultivated the acquaintance of a couple of the clerks employed in thu Adams Express company' : depot ofllco , ami became so friendly that he was occasionally allowed to go behind the railing and sit and chat awhile. Wednesday evening Xink dropped in , carrying a satchel mid said that ho wns going to Kansas City o : the 11:15 : train. Ho dropped his grin on tin lloor and took a scat , In n moment lie nrost and laid n revolver which ho carried on tin desk where the money packages are laid t ( bo checked off. When the train pulled In Xlnx started tc go and bade the clerks good by. When h < went an envelope containing a ? 100 bill wen1 with him , The loss was discovered by Albert Paul one of the clerks , and he rushed out uiu compelled/.Ink to return to the ofllco will him. Hu was told of the loss and Ueulcd an ; knowledge of the missing package. "Well , you and 1 will have to stay hen until U la 'fouad , " laid Paul , and all utifh eng the clerk never took his eyes off the man whom ho ( inspected. . . . In fact , 1'anl wns no nfrnld of losinc lght f his supposed friend that ho would not Isk the chnnco of the money oclng thrown Rway or destroyed long enough to go into ho next room nnd telephone police head quarters. So the long night passed with only the two men In the room. Ho Worked guile Hmnotlily Wednesday rooming when Officer Cook came on duty at the depot ho was old the story nnd at once arrested /ink nnd took him to headquarters. The prisoner declared his Innocence nnd had no objection to being searched , lo was searched nnd nothing wns found , This was rather disappointing to the police , nnd so OQlccr Cook and Sergeant Whalcn took the young man to a private room and stripped him to the skin. His clothing wan thoroughly overhauled and inside the lining of his loft sleeve wai the stolen bill. It seems thnt when /.ink loft the express ofllco to go to the train ho had picked up this en velope when ho did his pistol nnd very Illicitly toro u slit in his slcovo lining nnd shoved the bill Into It. When the money wns found the prisoner broke down and confessed. Later on a com- ) lalnt was filed by Uichard 11. Reeves , cliarg- ng.Ink with grand larceny. Ho was wrought un and pleaded guilty nnd was held by Judge Smith In ? MX ) bonds. This deal is not , however , the flrst of a criminal nature that the young man has lieen guilty of. Since coming to Omahiv /.Ink has stopped nt the Union Depot hotel , and for a short tlmo worked lor Herman Schroedcr. While employed there ho forged Mr. Schroedor's name to three checks for ? U ( , ( 2 nnd $ ' . ' ) . and a state complaint alleg ing forgery will bo filed yesterday afternoon. But this Is not all..Ink , so It Is claimed , has forged checks for small amounts on Ernest Rluht , nnd on a Howard street commission housn. Speaking about the affair to a reporter yesterday morning Zlnk said : " 1 don't know what made mo do it. I have a good family in Maryland and I hope they won't hear of my actions. " The prisoner seemed to feel his disgrace keenly and wns In hopes that sluno the express company hud recovered their money that thov would , not prosecute him , but that isn't the way express companies treat men who steal from them. /.Ink seemed surprised to learn that ho was wanted for forgery , but under pressure admitted the crime. 1'OMCi : UOlHtT.

Ho was only released Wednesday , and went right back to the "district" nnd loaded up on booze. Ho yelled and swore and Insulted every ono who passedso the police took him in again. "I wasn't doin' nothlu' , " said Boston to the judge. But the arrcstingofllcertold a differ ent story. "What did you get last time ? " asked the court. "Thirty dollars and costs , " replied the llttlo negro. "Well , I'll just raise that $ . " > , nnd make It $5 moro every time you come up as long ns I am here , " quietly remarked the judge. "I'so hope you won't bo hero long. " said Boston , as he. was led away , and even the judge had to smile. George Ennis is supposed to bo a vagrant. Ho drew a sixty-day ticket , but sentence was suspended for live hours in order to let George get away. Another vagrant known as Will Redmond will work on the streets for twenty days. Three times In two \oars the hair store of Mrs. Clambort has been robbed. Yesterday the police found a pair of shears stolen from the place in the possession of George W. Weinberger and ho was arrested. De tective Savage gave the prisoner a bad repu tation and said that he consorted with sneak thieves. Tweuty-llvo dollars and costs was the line. Lilllo White , one of the soiled doves of the Third ward , paid fUO into the treasury for disturbing the pence. Complaint has been made to the police that a woman named Elliott Is running a disor derly Jiouso at the northeast corner of Sev enteenth and Mason streets. li.VBV M'KBC K1DXAPUI ) . Dlanppcnranco of H Child Doubtless Dne to n Father' * Love. Wednesday forenoon at about 11 o'clock a man with black hair and mustache stopped at the residence of D. J. Wilson , 1813 North Twenty-seventh street , and engaged the 11- year-old daughter of Mrs. D. J. Wilson in conversation. In a short time the child re tired into the house , packed up her few clothes and joined the man with the black miiBtacho on the corner. It was stated by neighbors that Edrld McKco was the naino of the girl and that she was a very lovable child. Some years ngo the McICccn separated and Mrs. McKco married Wilson. Humorhus it that J. B. McKcc , the father of the girl , only recently learned of the whereabouts of his daughter and stopped hero on his way east and kmnaped the girl. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were away from homo Wednesday nnd when they returned yester day morning were surprised to find the little girl gone. When the discovery was made Mrs. Wilson rushed iuto the street and proclaimed n a loud voice to nil her neighbors that hoi- baby had been stolon. It is supposed that Mrs , Wilson learned of her former husband's presence In the city and scut the lad to friends in another city. Cull til Ilayden Bros' , for your butter , meats und cheese.

To the Editor of THE BEE : I see a report circu lated hi several Nebraska papers to the effect that no corn in the cur Is shown in the Nebraska exhibit or in the Nebraska build ing. I want to say that there is no truth whatever In the charge. Ear corn is shown on the walls , on the columns and In the county cases in the Nebraska build inr and also in the Nebraska exhibit in the Agricul tural building. Opinions differ as to whether too much or too little corn is shown in the ear. Some think that thcro Is too much and others that there Is too Httlo. yomo would have the exhibit all oar corn nnd others all baled hay and still others would have it all butter , etc. But how any one could make the statement that no car corn is shown is beyond my understanding. The charge is also made that Nebraska corn was given to other states to help out their exhibits. If this be true , I will only say that such action was without the knowl edge of the management aud that it was a clear case of thu ft. The report published in a Chicairo tele gram to the Lincoln Journal of last Tuesday to the effect that the commissioner general had given a wiuo supper in the Nebraska building Saturday evening , or at any other time , is absolutely false , no such event hav ing taken placo. The other statement made in the .same dispatch to the effect that spe cial preparation hud been inndo for the com ing of Governor Orounso is likewise false , as no person connected with the Nebraska building know of his coming until he arrived in Chicago. The fact is , the entire dispatch was manufactured of whole cloth. Illustrations made from photographs , showing the interior of thu Nebraska build ing und the Nebraska exhibit , will soon ap pear , and will convince all who have eyes that sonic liars have been abroad in the land circulating reports with reckless disregard of truth.

All Is not us serene in organized labor circles us outward appearances would indicate - cato and the leaders might wish , The smoke of battle in the Joncs-Dluko case had hardly cleared away when a now matter arose to cause other pcoplo sleepless nights , and in which the gentler sex is pitted against the sterner one. The Working Women's home , maintained by members of Knights of Labor assemblies , went to pieces some little time ago on account of lack of funds. Hcbuscitation of the scliomu has furnished the topic for.dis- cussionjn the weekly meeting of the Work ing Women's assembly , and not long ago it was decided to start a now homo with funds to be collected from members of the order. The subscriptions were quite liberal and the nmounlB wcro turned over to II. Cohen , then district mr.ster workman. Mrs , Pitch , president of the woman's lissom- bly , then desired that this money be ap plied in the payment of the debts of the old Institution before starting the now venture , but In this she was opposed by several of the subscribers to the now fund , who contended that their money was given for the express purpose of a now home. Mr , Cohen there upon refused to ncrodo to tlio request of Mrs , Fitch and thu latter got wratby und laid her grievances bcforo the district assembly , which backed Mr , Cohen in his refusal , to the utter disgust of the lady , who now threatens that her local assembly is liable to dissolve partnership with the district. Still another matter that aeltatcs the dis trict assembly is the participation In its councils of members of railroad workers locals , comprising district 6'i _ of Denver , Hitherto these been allowed a voice without objection whereby the plans of 1"U wcro overturned. Also In other ways some of these members have made themselves obnoxious , and in street corner talk they are alluded to as chronic kickers. The executive committee o ! the Omaha district will therefore look into the matter and endeavor to re-establish amlublo relationship which is now some what disturbed. At the hist election of local assembly 5141. Knights af Labor , ' 1 , C. Kulsey was elected one of the delegates to represent this assembly In Central Labor union. lie rc < ceiveil his credentials all In duo time , and at the next meeting of the central body ho pro ceed oil to the hull to let his volco be heard in the deliberations. To his astonishment par ticipation was refused him oa the ground thai certain charges ngnlimt htm hnd been given currency , They were substantially that Mr. KoUoy had colloctoilttnoncy from a certain clans of pcoplo to tiidnco legislators nt Lin coln during the Inu ftcssion , to do a certain thing which wns diiprccatcd by the Central I.ibor union. Thfraccusod contended that ( CO wns the whole amount and that this had been turned In to hblp swell the exchequer of the union. As this matter stands n squab- bio Is likely to ho precipitated between the Knights nnd Ccntr < llLnbor union , but so far Mr. Kclscy has had to fight his buttle single- handed , SMOKE ORDINANCE. Kvhlrnco Hint Omalm's Iniln trlc llnva No Almiiiloncd SinoKrutiickn. The smoke nuisance ordinance wont nto effect yesterday nnd Us provisions arc to bo enforced to the letter. The ninety flays allotcd to the owners of smokestacks or chimneys which omit largo and offensive volumes of smoke or gases In which to abate the nuisances have expired and the city authorities will take steps against those who have failed to take advantage of the time given. The ordinance declaring thnt all omissions of smoke in dense quantities and obnoxious pases from the stacks and chimneys bo abated was passed by the council Mny 17nnd Immediately wont into effect. The owners of stacks and chimneys were given , ninety days tlmo In which to abate the nuisances. Build ing Inspector Tilly Issued nearly 00 notices with copies of the ordinances to the owners of buildings that would como under the provisions of the ordinance. A largo number took immediate steps to provide consumers for their boilers nnd "n other ways to abate the smoke nuisance. 'Jut ono man wan found , a well known down , own banker , who rnfuscd to comply with .ho orders of the council. The remainder tvoro heartily sick of the smoke nuisance and were ready to Join In a movement to abate It. While but a few of the consumers have been placed , there are a Inrge.numbcr who have taken steps to put them In nnd will requlreionlyashorUlmotodo so. Others will resort to the use of anthracite coal. The ordinance declares It u misdemeanor for the owner of any boiler to permit the emission of smoke and gases after today , nnd provides for a line upon conviction. While the ofllclals will .not use undue haste and will show as much leniency as possible , yet those who manifest a disposition , to ig nore the ordinance and its provisions will probably hear something drop. The olUclals arc determined to wipe the smoke nuisance out of existence and will work to that end. Ominii'H Outli Account.

Craig , fireman , of Keck Island engine 8 2 had a nar row escape last evening from what came near being a very serious accident. About 0:15 : engiuo 823 with seven loaded aud six empty cars was moving slowly out of the lower Union Pacific yards when the engine which is ono of the seventy-three ton moguls , climbed a rail , sending her off the track. Homo with great presence of mind applied the air brake and then he and his tlrcmnu jumped out of the window of the cab. The locomotive struck on its side. The wrecking crow of the Union Pacific was called out and in side of three hours hnd the engine on the track. The wreck did not interfere at all with the business of the yards , having oc curred on the Koclc Island track , the Ne braska state limited having left but a short tlmo before. Mr. Homo stated that the length of the englno and the sharp curve were responsi ble for the accident , which , hnd it occurred a half hour before , might have seriously im peded travel.
