HIGH EXPLOSIVE

LOOKS LIKE
INCENDIARISM

iff's Office.
YEGGMEN THEORY IS ADVANCED!
t
Fire May Have Started from Lighted
Cigarette.
INVESTIGATION IS UNDER, WAY
sheriff te Making; Eeersretle Kfforl te
Solve) the Mystery rrosidlng
Dewtrnetlon of the Milk
Plant.
Gun cotton, one of the most pawerful
and deadly explosives known, was found
In and near the ruins of the Henry Paulsen
dairy on the Center street road two miles
weft of the cltv limits, which was mrter1-ouslv-
destroyed by fir early In the morn
Ine; of November IS. the dixcovwv being
made yesterday morn'np by Mannirer Wood
of the Wood dairy, which I located near
the Paulsen place.
The find prove almost beyond a doubt
that the dairy fire was of Incendiary
origin. The only other theory that ran
explain the presence of tho gun cotton is
thnt the dairy stable wa tised as s hldlnp
or sleeping place by "yeccmen" or other
safe blowers the nlslit of the fire and thnt
sparks from a pipe or clgnrette In the
bands of one of them caused the fire.
The gun cotton was turned over to Sheriff
Brnlley's office and the sheriff and hi
deputies are making a rig:d investigation.
The gun cotton itself affords but a poor
clue upon which to work. There Is nothing
about It to Indicate the Identity of the
persons responsible for the blaxe.
Homr finn Cotton Is Made.
Gun cotton Is made by steeping loosely
made cotton rope In nitric and sulphuric
acids. In appearance It resembles an ordi
nary loosely twlnted cotton rope; but more
minute examination reveals the explosive
acid particles, which sparkle like bits of
ground glass.
Three pieces of the cotton, two shout
three Indies long and one nearly a foot
long, were found one piece ln the north
east corner of the stable and two pieces
near the ruin of the silo, which was
located at the northwest corner of the
stable. The gun cotton was taken to Sheriff
Brailey'a office.' Visitors In the office de
clared the pieces to be sections of fuse,
such as ordinarily Is used for firing blast
ing charges. They said It Is used for many
j legitimate purpose, such as blasting
stumps In thl section of the country, and
said It I commonly sold by dealers in ex
plosives and snorting goods.
Deputy Sheriff Foster-, took a pleoe of
the gun cotton to the Walter G. Clark com
pany and there learned what the stuff
really Is.
Powerful AS An Explosive.
Gun cotton Is not commonly used and Is
not handled by ordinary sporting goods '.
bouses, being too powerful and deadly an
explosive and there beinp no legitimate
necessity for Its use. It is used by some
"yeggmen" and other safe blowers, but
most of them even use nitroglycerin, which 1
they extract from stick dynamite by boiling
It ln water. When a certain temperature .
Is reached the nitroglycerin rises to the
surface and 1 skimmed off the top of the
boiling "soup," as the "yeggmen" call It.
The fact that several "Jobs" of safe
blowing have been done in the vicinity of
Omaha within the last few weeks lends
color to the theory that safe blowers acci
dentally set the dairy afire and then fled,
leaving part of their paraphenalia behind.

Hi mental anguish had been too great
to be covered up by bravado, and It was a
man me waraers were oongea to
assist up the steps to the drop, upon which,
once reached, the shrinking figure all but
collapsed. .
The first report tbst Crippen hsd met his
fate calmly was contradicted by persons
who were present ln the prison during the
man's last hour. The doomed man passed
a restless night and appeared haggard and
worn when awakened from his fitful slum
bers. He seemed to lose all fortitude as the
end approached. A breakfast was brought
to him. but he left it untouched.
Ills face was colorless as he was es

Discussion of candidates for president of

thero Is quite u strong movement for th

of the money for the banquets; put up
practically nil of the money for the Im

recognition as a chlrkeli when a turkey

that it Is time the woman teacher Is be

card was thl significant sentiment; .
"Arrived in Lincoln all O. K. It's a good

The little advertisement for both Lincoln
and Omaha excited a good bit of comment
among the teachers, a great many of
whom want - to visit Omaha next year.

teachers ln attendance wear a blu ribbon

have Joined thl year, and we believe every
teacher ln Douglas county would Join if
the . meeting were held In Omaha. More
than that, many teachers from the nortn
esstern part of the state who do not now
come to Lincoln, would Join and come to
Omaha. This would greatly strengthen our
organisation."
Allsa Hoys is one of the leaders In work
