Crooks of all dfflcrlptlons , particularly
filckpockets an.l burglar * , wore numbered
among Mi' busiest people in this vicinity
TIiurHilay afternoon anil night. Tlic hnmcasc
crowds which filled the lair grounds during
the day nnd literally packed the streets In
the evening afforded the pickpockets an un
limited opportunity to ply their trade with
out much danger of detection. Tha outpour
ing of the nt'ldealj ' of the city Into the down
town Fccllon to wll'nos ! the parade left the
resident districts practically detcrtod and
tlio residences without gunrd. And finally
It wuu founil neevssary to tint practically the
entire pollcu force In the heart of thu city
to handle the crowdri during thu paiado , o
thai the liurglara had the siifcuruan districts
to themselves ; and tile ernwds were so great
In the downtown district that the police olll-
ccis had little opportunity o ! doing anything
else than to keep them In order , without
looking after pickpockets who might he cir
culating hi them.
While only a few cases were reported to
the police , It Is known that criminals car-
rUd on their work In the must high
handed manner. People do not like
to acknowledge that they have hccn
victims ot pickpockets unless they
lose enough to mnkci It worth while to at
tempt to recover their property. An Indi
cation of the likelihood that till cases havu
not been reported Is Rhown by the fact that
the police have now In their possession ten
pockcthooks which were undoubtedly stolen
nnd It IH believed that only two or three of
these belong to partita who have made re
ports.
NO KKSI'KCTKIIS OF PERSONS.
Among thu victims of the pickpockets was
General Charles V. Manden-ou. Ills pocketbook -
book , containing $ ? ii in money , was taken
out of his pocket while he was riding do\ui-
towu Thursday evening In a street car. The
theft occurred on the tear platform of the
ear and is supposed to have been commit
ted iy a couple of men who wore crowded
on each side of Cleneral Mandersan. A
description of the men has been given to
the police. General Mandcrsnn was con
siderably wrought up over the fact that 1 _
was made a victim , and when he made t'e '
report to the police he stated that he would
willingly ipend ? 200 to secure the capture
and thu convlrtlon of the thieve * .
Peter L. I'crlne , secretary and treasurer of
the O. F. D'lvls coiroany , was one of the
, victim. " at the fnlr grounds and he Is num
bered among those who would not have
made a report Ui the police If circumstances
had not broug'it tlie cas' to lliht. HU pa ket-
book was found In a bunch or live
near the northwest entrance to the
grounds. It contained a check for $77
nnd other papers , but no money. As the
papc-rs could be duplicated , Mr. Perlne salt !
that he had no Intention of making a report
of the case. Tlili theft was committed wlule
Mr. I'e Ine was getting on a street car wlih
his wife OP his way homo from the fair luti >
Thursday afternoon. In getting onto the car
.Mr. I'crlnr was bquee ed between a couple of
men and It Is bplleved the pocketbook was
stolen then.
PICK UP POniCETIIOOKS.
Four pocketbooks were found lying umK > r
a bunch of weeds at the State fair tcrmlnu *
of the street car line Thursday night by S. Al.
Wright of KennarJ , who brought them to tlic
pollco station. In one 25 cents was
left. From the papers and the railroad
tickets found in them they belonged to pirtlm
named J. C. Sworn , Thomas Wilson ot Spring-
Held , William .McComb of Wllcox. Ato. , and
Dr. H. C. Wheeler of Oninha. In the latter
was also found u note given by John R
Lally ot this city 'to ' the "Fusion Campaign
Committee. " It was for $50 and was datcJ
April 19. 1S97. and was probably Lilly's as-
fessmoni to the fusion fund for the spring
election when he ran for olllce. From the-
endorsements on the IUCK but $5 of the
amouut has been paid , two payments being
made in .May. one of $ : t nnd the otbnr of $2
Flvo empty pockcthooks were found yester
day morning lying Inside the screen door oT
the book store at 15tfl Farnam street. They
had been rilled , not a scrap of paper being
left to Indicate to whom they belonged. The
pocketbooks wore undoubtedly thrown away
by thieves that they might not bo found as
evidences of theft on their persons In cas ?
they were arrested. |
Some woman , who refused to give her
name , was robbed of a pocketbook contain
ing $30 while in a crowd near Sixteenth
and Douglas Thursday afternoon.
In the crowd Thursday night C. W. HrltfH
pockets were rilled of a number of articles ,
but no money was taken.
Tilllo Wright , a colored waniiin , was locket !
up yestetday for stealing $120 from a visitor
to her rooms on Ninth street. The house-
was searched and the amount found be
tween two bed ticks. The money was re
turned to the man who elalmed It. I
TAKE ANY OKI ) THING.
As J. A. Tuney , a Herman farmer of
York , was viewing the parade he was de
spoiled of a large silver watch. He was
.standing In front of the elty hall wttb bis
ilaughter when a negro approached and
asked for some Information. Tuney had just
pointed out the location of the court hou.u'
when the negro crowded heavily against
him. At that moment Tuney felt for Ma
watch and found that It had been twisted
from the chain. He shouted vigorously and
gave chase , but the thief vanished In the
crowd.
A man named Graves of South
Omaha lost his poc-ketbouU shortly aflt-i-
ward. It occurred at Seventeenth and IHr-
ncy streets , and Graves noticed his losm and
the thief simultaneously. He .raised an
alarm and guvo chase. The man , a negro ,
dashed bntwccn the front wheels of a ve
hicle nnd the heels of the horses. He
emerged , however , Into thu arms of Jailer
Sim ml nnd Olllcer Council. When the negro
saw that escape WHS Impossible he thnnv
thn IIUIHO , which contained $20 , Into the
crowd and It was lost. The thief , whoso
naino Is John .Matthews , wag arrested. Tlu >
Incident occurred In a croud of South Omahn
reople , who wore considerably worked up
over Iho robbery nnd for a time threatened
to handle. tin1 prisoner roughly before he

Later In thu evening John H. Cannon , a
ranchman of Ogallnlu , lost his pocketbook
containing ? 15 as he wan hanging on to the
Hleps of a crowded South Omahn car. The
occurrence look place at KourteeiHli HIM !

at bis heels , when the man darted Into thu
back door of a saloon and out tlic front way.

UOUIJRI ) THE SALOON .
The event In tlio criminal record of the
day and night occurred at ten minutes to 1
o'clock yesterday morning when another bold
saloon robbery , thu third of thn kind that
luts occurred. In' the last few weeks ,
was coirmlttcd In the saloon of Frank Swo-
buda at Sixteenth nnd William streets. As
in thu other two cases the robbery was com
mitted by three masked and armed men.
There wera "two men In the saloon at the
time , Frang Slama , the bartender , and
Jobn lluicsh. who lives at 1I2G South Thir
teenth street. At 12:30 : Slama decided to
close the saloon. He went to the front door
to shut It , but before he could got the key
111 the lock and turn it , two men shoved
themselves hgainst the door nnd threw It
open. The men were both masked and one
held a revolver In each hand. They rushed
Ir.to the saloon nnd the man with the re-
\olvera levoletl both at Slama's bead ,
"If you yell , I will kill you , " lie said.
Huresh moved to the rear end of the ea-
' .oon with the intention ot getting assist
ance , but before he had gone any distance
the other ot UI.Q two robbers caught him and
brought him "back. The two men were then
placed side by side nnd the man with the
wenpr.ns coyf red them. The other man then
walked bcUtBd , , : he bar and appropriated a
cigar bo 'ptnita ilng JCI.O , " ) the proceeds of
the day's business. He put the money In his
pockets and then with a departing threat ,
the two robbers left the siloon.
In addition to the two who went into the
salojii. there was another on guard on the
oirtsldc. He was seen by Phillip Swobodn ,
who lives on the opposite side ot the etrcct.
The robbery was committed so quietly that
he had nq idea of what was going on. Pro
prietor SXvoboda , who resides above the sa
loon , was not disturbed. Neither of the men
In the , saloon is nble to give n description
, ofthe' , robbers , except that they were ap
parently 'young and were of medium build.
Tbt'lr ' fcotiihs could not be seen on account
of handkerchief masks. Ten minutes after
the robbery occurred the policeman on the
beat arrived on the scene , but by that time
tbu roljbtrg bad disappeared.
With the exception of the negro , who was
caught by the crowd at Seventeenth and
Hartley streets after picking n pocket , no one
has been arrested who can bo charged with
the commission , pf uny of the crimes. The
pollco "yesterday , however , were busying
themselves in arresting everybody who came
lu the c.atc ory of being suspicious char
acters. A > \ ff'-

The regular weekly meeting of the execu
tive committee of the exposition was held at
the Commercial club rooms yesterday after
noon with all the members of the committee
presclit. The session was devoted entirely
to the consideration of routine business. The
tulo of the committee providing that three
members should constitute a quorum , which
had been In force during the absence from
the city of some of the members , was changed
to provide that a quorum should be four
members , as It stood originally.
Alanager Hosewater called attention to the
fact that the invitations to ( he English colonies
nies , Canada , Australia , etc. , had been sent
through the usual red tape channels by way
of the State department and the Correspond
ing depa'tment of England , and that the In
vitations would not reach the colonies for a
long time. He suggested that some mure
expeditious method should bo. adopted in
order to extend an Invitation to the cdlonlcs.
especially Canada , to participate In the ex
position , This matter was discussed by thu
committee and It was decided that Invita
tions ( should be sent direct to the colony
authorities in addition to those sent through
the regular ofilelal channels.
Alanager Babcock reported that General
Superintendent Hathburn of the Missouri
Pacific had told him that a large force of
men would be put to work on the railway
tracks for the exposition grounds and that
the confatruction would bo ruslied as fa-t
as possible. Mr. liabcock also stated that
he would be out of the city for the next
week.
.Mr. Itoscwater called attention to the
meeting of the county commissioners this
morning , when the petition for submitting
a bond proposition to the people would be
laid before the board. He suggested that
the members of the committee and a num
ber of the Board oj Directors attend the
meeting of the commissioners and urge them
to take prompt action In the matter , as the
time for publishing the notice of the bond
proposition Is growing ghort.
.Manager Klrkeudall presented n letter from
Walker & Kimball , the supervising archi
tects of the exposition , relating to the plans
lor the Nebraska building. The letter sated
that the plans were Incomplete and did not
show a sufficient number of the dimension
flguics to enable the architect ? to pass upon
the plans intelligently. After a brief du- !
Cifcshm the whole matter was turned over to
the Department of JJuildlngs and Grounds
with power to learn the further details and
Issue a permit for the erection of the State
building ,
