As the result of n fight between two
members of the gang tho police succeeded
yesterday nftcrnoon in arresting flvo men,
whom they have strong reason to bellevo
nre pickpockets who aro following Wllllnra
Jennings Hryau around tho country. The
men gavo the names of Charles Ellis, Phil
lip Hastings, Charles Miller, I). Harrison
and K. Ncary. They wore evidently booked
for Syndicate park, South Omaha.
Charles Kills and I'lillllp Hastings en
gaged In the fight which nttracted the at
tention ot tho pollco to them nnd led to
their and their partners' arrest. Hastings
Is quite an elderly man, while tho other
four are comparatively young. Tho fight
between Kills nnd Hastings occurred about
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon near tho cor
ner of I'earl street and Hroadway. "When
first noticed Kilts was beating Hastings.
The latter s)ccmcd endeavoring to get
awny from his assailant, but was knocked
down. While Hastings lay on tho side
walk, with his head hanging over tho curb,
Kills kicked him twlco In tho face. At
this point In tho fight Warren Dallcy, a
former member ot tho Fifty-first Iowa
volunteers, rushed to tho rescue of tho old
man and knocked Kills up against the hill
boards In front of tho Klsoman building
nnd held him until tho nrrival of Ofllcer
Wilson. Kills was at onco taken to tho
city Jail, whllo another olllcer escorted
Hastings to the offlco of Dr. Waterman,
whero two deep cuts under his right ey6,
caused from tho kicks from Ellis, wero
sowed up.
In nnswor to questions as to what had
caused tho fight, tho old man said they
had had an argument over politics and that
his assailant was an ontlro stranger to
him. At tho city Jail they professed to
bo unacquainted with each other, but It
happened that some of tho officers had
seen thorn nnd four others together earlier
In tho nftcrnoon and a senrch was promptly
made for their supposed partners. In
less than half an hour thrco others of tho
gang wero rounded up on llrondway Just
as they wero preparing to board the cars
for Omaha. A sixth member of tho gang
who was seen enrllcr in the day, man
aged to escape. When brought together nt
tho city Jail (all flvo professed Ignorance
of one another, but as soon as they were
locked up they dropped this and sent for
an attorney to look after their interests.
Kvldencc of Their Trndc.
Examination of the flvo men's effects
showed undoubtedly thnt they were
nlcknockcts traveling in the wake
of Uryan. Kach of them had
copy ot the New York Informant, glv
lnc tho list of county fairs and other
public gatherings throughout tho country
nnd ono of them, the man giving the name
of Ncary, had a memorandum book
which wero entered the dates ot meeting:
at which Hryan was billed to speak, some
of theso datos being marked "good," thl
being tnken to indlcato that tho meetings
thus marked meant n good field for the
plying of their trade of pickpockets,
Thrco gold chains nnd two handsome gold
wntches were found on tho gang and thes
the pollco bellovo aro the proceeds of the!
pockot-plcklng.
On tho man giving tho nnmo of E. Ncary
was found n gold huntlngcase Elgin watch
and gold chain with cameo charm. Tho
numbers of this watch aro: Case, 305,1 iG
works, 8,052,135, On Harrison was found
gold huntlngcase Waltham watch and gold
link chain, with a $3 gold pleco dated 1873
attached. Tho numbers on this watch aro,
case, 3,503,399; works, 7,700,195. Miller had
$18 In his possession and Hastings was pos-
seased of $10, whllo tho other threo hau
each about $2.
Among Nenry's effects was a receipt
from tho Pacific Express company at Pitts
burgh, Knn., dated August 16, showing that
E. J. Walton had remitted JoO to Mrs.
:. J. Walton nt St. Paul, Minn.; also a
receipt from tho sisters in chargo of St.
Joseph's hospital at St. Paul for money
paid to E. J. Walton for tho caro and at
tendance of Mrs. E. J. Walton. 'inis is
belioved to be Nenry's right namo. In the
memorandum book carried by Harrison was
tho following notation; "E. J. Walton,
353 Honflll strcot."
Among Nenry's effocto was found n ticket
from Wymore, Neb., to Omaha of yester
day's date. On tho man giving tho namo
of Miller was found a handsomo gold double
chain, ropo pattern, with n $2 gold piece
attached ot tho dato of 1S39.
lloiinil for .South Onmbii.
That the flvo men wero booked for Syndi
cate park yesterday afternoon Is evident
from a notation In Nenry's momorandum
book. Tho pollco aro of tho opinion that
tho men wero ufrnld to go to Omahn direct
from Wymore, but camo to Council llluffs,
believing they would nttract less attention
if they transferred In Omaha from a Coun
cil llluffs car and mixed with the delega
tion of democrats from this city who went
to South Omaha to hear Rryan talk. They
will bo held pending investigation nnd
ovory effort will bo mado by tho police to
discover, If possible, tho owners of the
watches nnd chains found on them. Tho
pollco aro much elated over tho arrest of
the gan, as they bolleve the flvo men are
all what Is known as "good men,"
Two other mfinoers ot tho gang were ar
rested last night. They gavo the narae3 of
Charles Kelley and James Lally. Kelley an
swers tho description of n man wanted for
robbing a freight car at Pacific Junction last
Jimo.

under nrrest as members of what Is known

With tho exception of Hastings, the old man
who was beaten by Ellis, tho entire outfit
was arrested in Omaha July 30, tho day that
Sells & Forcpaugh's circus showed there.
Tho gang Is said to bo tho smoothest that
ocr worked In this section of the country
The real namo of tho old man, Hastings, Is
said to bo McOregor and ho Is tho "banker"
of tho gang. From what one of tho fellows
let drop It seems that Hastings had spent
fomo of tho money which ho ought to have
divided among tho rest and that led to tho
assault on hlra by Elils. McOregor has been

DES MOINES, Auk. 25. (Special Telo-
nrara.) Treasurer ot Stato ucrriott was
asked today If ho expected to Issue n protest
with respect to tho tnxatlon of express com
panies in Iowa, in view especially of the
assessment mado by tho majority of tho
council on Friday. Ho said he expected to
do that very thing. Ho was asked when
such a statement would bo ready ana no
said that It was Impossible to say at this
time. It will bo Issued shortly, however.
He declinoa 10 say anyuuiiK noui um
it would contain. It Is taken for granted,
however, that It will bo full of sensations.
This Is a Judgment based on former pro
tests filed by tho treasurer. His voto In tho
council meeting would Indlcato his purpose.
Apparently the express business has noth-
Ing to do with tho railroads, as a matter or
fact, that Is tho nubbin of the who; busi
ness, from Mr. Herrlott's point of view. Tho
council assessed tho American express com
pany $132 a mile. Ucrriott moved to mako
It $55!M6, an Increnso of $127 per mile. Tho
substltuto wns lost. Thin company does
business over tho Northwestern railroad. It
also submitted tho bulk of tho securities
as offset against assets and which securi
ties Mr. Herrlott Insists should not bo do-
ducted from tho assets, whllo tho majority
of tho council voted to do It.
Dllli-renre of Oplnlonx,
Now tho United States Express compauy

It has many less securities which It offered
as offset against assets. Thn council fixed
Its assessment at $96 per mile, while Her
rlott moved to advance It to $123.35, nn In
creaso of $27.
All theso facts will prob
ably be elucidated in Hcrrlott'a statoment
with proper deductions, showing that tho
treasurer believes that the council has tin
duo lovo for tho Northwestern railroad. Tho
majority of tho council said Saturday that
It had no statement to make at this time
beyond tho broad ono that they did what
they believed wns their duty, that they were
