NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Trial of Chief Niclnlson and tin Fire- men Accnse'l of Incendiarism. WEBBER GIVES STARTLING TESTIMONY Protectory of the City Placed In nn tfnenvl * alilo Light An Awful Slnto ol AnUIr * If True The Otlirr Kvlilonco Ailduccd. Chief Charles Nicholson. Fitcnion James O'llrlcn , Peter Kuykcndall and Miles Scho llcld , and Hen Webber had their preliminary hearing In pillco court yesterday ou the charge of conspiracy to commit a felony. As. a result O'Hrion anil ICnykundall have re gained their liberty , while Nicholson , Seho- Held and Webber are still under the ban with a strong probability of their being bound over to the grand jury. Judge MoGoo took the east ) under advisement and wilt probably render his decision today or tomor row. Attrartttil The morning session of the police court was hold in the room over the patrol house , and the four walls wcro almost dislocated by the crowd that sought admittance. Kve-ry Inch of available standing room was occupied. It has been years slneo there has been a case that attracted so much attention from the public. That four men wiio were drawing salaries every month for helping protect the city from the ravages of lire should bo accused of cnlorlni ; Iiilo a combi nation with a llfth man by which the lawless - loss element should bo allowed to do its work on the property of the oily without hindrance scorned almost beyond belief , and everyone who could get Inslilo the court room was anxious to do so in order to hear the details of the affair. To nccoininodato Iho crowd Judge McOeo hold Iho afternoon session in the council chamber , which was almost as full as the Miialiur room had been In the morning. Wrbbrr'n TcMllinony. Webber himself was the llrst to testify at the opening of tlio morning session. He told a strange slur.v , the main facts of which coincided with thai which appeared in yes terday's Hic : , but the details wcro decidedly to thu audience , as well as to the defendants. " 1 have been an applicant for a position on the lire-department for something over a year , but never succeeded In getting a chance to no anything moro than special work. I asked Chief Nicholson for a Job when ho was llrst elected , nnd again when John Kogors was appointed , lie told mo I stood a good show. In all 1 have wonted three weol's at No , : ) nnd three days at No. J as substitute.Vlicnlwas not working I made a practice of loafing at No. 4 a good deal. No. 4 was the headquarters of the chief , nnd he sometimes slept there , as well as being them most of the day. "Wednesday afternoon wo went to Omaha to scu a ball game. Hy wo , 1 mean the chief , Miles SehoiK'ld and myself. Wo drank several beers on the way over , and several comimr back. While on the eablu car coining back the three ol us got into a conversation about matters connected with the lire de partment. 1 asked the chief if I could not get an appointment nnd he replied that If there wcro more llrcs there would bo moro llranen. Ho told mo to get out'aml hustle and he'd tnaku a holler for moro men. Ho gave mo to understand that I should be the next man appointed. Agreed to Hum n llulldtii ; . "When wo got off the cable car wo wont to the Denver saloon , where wo drank some more. Scholleld left us Just after we went out of the saloon. lieforo ho loft us wo had a talk by ourselves , which I don't think the chief heard. In It Schollcld and 1 agreed to go a\ul \ sut a ilro at a cert-im hour that night. Thii marble works and the shed back of Maurcr's crockery store were spoken of by us as the best places for a lire. Wo drank plenty all wo wanted. When we got back to Council Bluffs wo went up to No. 4's , but only stayed a min ute. Then wo went down to a saloon east of Hrynnt street on Broadway and played poker a while , and I lost. I sat and watched the game a while longer. It was between 1 o'clock and 1 : ! )0 ) when 1 went bauk to the engine house. I went up etairs , opened u cupboard and tooic out a lot of waste sat urated with kerosene und started for the marble works to set it on 11 TO. Before I had done the job the ofllcors caught mo and took mo to the station. They lot mo go , and 1 wet back to the engine houso. The chief , who had been sitting in a chair by t.ho stovn when 1 went in thu llrst time , was lying on top of a pile of hay fast asleep. I to'd ' him that the onicers had got me and asked him if ho wouldn't help me. He said he would. ' O'lSrluii and Kuykrmlull _ When asked what other members of the 11 ro department had tried to induce him to start lires , ho could not say anything very definite. All ho comd remember ot O'Brien's saying was to tell him to "do a good job" whenever ho would leave the house. Ho always took this as a joke , as ho thought O'Brien meant it. Ku.vkumlull had re marked ut various times , when ho would be passing an old ramshackle building , that that place would inaUo a good lire , and that was all ho hud said. The evidence against the two of the defendants was so meager that at the opening of the afternoon session City Attorney Hiizlcton dismissed the case as far as they were concerned. Schollcld was put upon the stand in the afternoon , and the most striking character istic of his testimony was the sweeping wa > in which ho swore against everything. He had Mover oven heard the subject of Incen diary fires mentioned ut the engine house. On the trip to Omaha Wednesday afternoon the only thing tnat was said during the whole afternoon was with reference to the wind. Some one said , "That wind blows pretty haru. " Nobody either nlllrmed or denied the allegation , and that was the end of conversational attempts. I'hlef .Nlclioliiin' * Story. Nicholson's testimony was almost as sweeping In its denials , und it was worded in almost exactly the same language. In ad dition hosiild that he had never given Web ber the least tmcournRcmont in his aspira tions to n position on the lire department. Thcro had been several vacancies since Webber made his tlrst application , but ho had never been appointed. | The eonvur.sa- lion told of In Webber's testimony with ref erence to Nicholson's agreement to help Webber after ho had been caught by the ofllccrs was denied in Into. Ho was lying nsleop in thn haymow when the otlli-ora cumo up , because Kuykcndall was sick and ono of thu other men had a leave of absence. When City Attorney H.-ueltnn came to cro&s-oxamlne him i Nicholson was compelled to admit that ho did not malto n practice of sleeping with his lint Jim ! overcoat ou when ho slept at tlio engine house , and did not know why ho nmilo n chuncj in his usual tactics on this invasion. He was not drunk , however -ho was cm-tain of that , although ho admitted having drank n few bt.'ers , bo could not say how many , during the after noon und evening. A question as to his condition when ho smashed the new hat in thn store in Omaha was ruled out on au objection from his at torneys , "You and Webber wanted to accommodate those fellows who wUh their ground cleared of old buili2ii's ) | so they may put up brick blocks when you lit these llriia , didn't you ! was Hazclton's last question. "Nnw , " was Nicholson's omplmtiu answer , delivered in a way that made the audience quite hilarious under Its breath. This ended the taking of evidence , and some time wits t f en up by the arguments of the attornovs. .it the close Judge McCico announced that an account of the Importance of the case ho did nut want to hand down a decision at once , He accordingly took the case under adviaomont , and a decision is looked for sometime today er tomorrow. Kutliir Ali urd Thuory. The organ of the local democracy madn a great elfort lust ovenim ; to charge that the bringing of the tire chief into the case was pan of a political bchemo by which J , M.

I'lrn Clilcf McluiUon St'lll HilliM llomi Ills 1'iiftlllon In Spllii of Kvftryttilnc , The city council hold a mooting last orcn- Ing for the avowcil purpjso of taking some action with refoi-oiicj to the charge of drunkenness which has been made against Chlof Nicholson of the llro department. It vas the tamest kind of a meeting and the ictlon of the council scorns to indicate strongly that the chiefs misconduct will bo whitewashed at the lliuil wind-up unless that p.u-t of the public- which owns property mil wants It protected by men who nre not n the habit of going to bed with their boots , tints and overcoats on , rises up and demands that something be dono. Mayor Lawrence opened thn ball by read an ofllctal communication in which ho stated that as it had been charged that Ch.xrles Nicholson , chief of the tire depart ment , had been guilty of gross misconduct ou the llth lust. In bring Intoxicated , he submitted the case to the council to be In- vestleated. After some discussion , m-xt Monday afternoon nt " o'clock was decided upon as the time for looking into the charges by the council. A resolution was read by the city clerk providing that cards bo printed with sec tions I' ' . 14 and 10 of the ordinance govern ing the lire department and pasted lu conspicuous places In thu engine houses nnd that h'ircaftcr the rules bo strictly enforced. Thoao sections provide that no Intoxicating liquors shall bo brought Into any of the oiiaino houses , that any fireman being found guilty of drunkenness bo discharged , that any llrcman absenting himself from his house oxcetitiui : when the rulei allow It bo discharged , that members who visit saloons , gambling houses or other improper places be discharged ! and that men who do not belong tU thii lire department bo prohibited from making thn engine houses a loallng place. The resolution was adopted unanhiioualv. Alderman Smith moved that pending au Investigation 1I 1 of the charge above referred to I Chlof Nicholson bo suspended from oHlee. "Oh , that's not necessary , " said Keller. " 1 never heard of allowing a public ofllcial to t hold his place with n charge like that hanging I : over him , " retorted Smith. The alderman from the Fifth was out numbered 7 to 1 , however , nnd his motion failed oven to got n second. Tlbbitts , the only other republican member In the conn- ell , falling to side with him , from the fact that Nicholson was a relative of his. It was evident that nothing more would bo done , so r , a motion to adjourn was made and car ried In a trice. li.N.NISON 11IUS. S : tiir < liy' !
