The Scene Changed , From the Star House to Hawes' . Judicial Palace , Whore the Entire Tribe Air * , Their Immorality. Yestefday's issue of THE EEE contained a harrowing talc of the raping of a young and delicate girl by on3 Pele O'Brien. The deed was committed in an old building in this city known as the Star house , where the pill had repaired to make up some beds in the rooms rented tojodgers by her parents. To make the case more deplorable , the girl swore out a com plaint Thursday evening against her fatter , on the charge of incest. Be low we give an account of the pre liminary examination : THE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION. The time for the preliminary ex amination of the case of the state vs. O'Brien , was sot for 10 o'clock yes- terJaymorning. Long before that hour the crowd began to gaihor about the police court , and all available stand ing room outside the railing was soon taken up. * Mr. and Mrs. Wirth were present as were also several of Wirth'a wit nesses. Mrs. Boss , charged with being an accomplice of O'Brien was escorted into the room by the maishal. During the delay occasioned by the non-appearance of the district attor ney , the wife of O'Brien made her way through the crowd , and approach ing her husband , who was at the time consulting with hi * attorney , General O'Brien , grasped him by the hand and burst into tears. She was handed a chair , which she aceptod. The attorneys for O'Brien were O'Brien & Bartlett. Mr. Wirth's at- tornSya , Baldwin & Walters , were also present. The court appointed Gen. O'Brien as Mrs. Boss' attorney. It wai not until after twelve o'clock that Judge Hawes , upon the consent of both sides , and in the absence of district attorney , placed the girl upon the stand , administered the _ oath and requested" her to tell all she know about the casa aga-nit O'Brien. TUE OIIIL is a mere child in yea and delicate in appearance. She was plainly attired In a light blue dress , her only orna ment being a plain neck chain. HEEbTOKY. My name is Clara Wirth ; I live on Tenth street since we sold out the Omaha house ; I will bo sixteen years of ago the 14th of next October ; I have always heard that Mr. Wirth was my father. I saw Pete O'Brien at the Star house , in room 10 , Wednes day morning ; J went there to mak up the beds in some of the rooms ; I lefi my hat in Mrs. Boas' room , No. 10 , and shortly after went back to get pail. Mr. O'Brien and Mrs Does had a jug of whisky in the room and were drinking. They a ked me to drink , but I re fused. They said if I did not drink they would force me. They poured two glasses of whisky down my throat I stood at the window a few moments and felt my head getting dizzy , and asked Mrs. Boss if I could lie down. She said I could. I won and lay down on a bed and went to alcfip. In the afternoon O'Brien came in the room where I was on the bed with my clothes on. He took off his boots aud lay down beside me. Ho said that ho wanted me to go off with him where ho was digging wells , and that ho would get mo a good place to work. I said I did not think t would go with him. He tried to take my clothes off. I resisted. Ho said ho would spank me. I was very sick and weak , and could not push him away. I cried out for help as loud as 1 could. ( Hero the jirl's modesty asserted itself ind she would proceed no further un til the gaping spectators were request- : d to leave the room , which they did. ) rho girl forthwith proceeded to tell : ho district attorney , who had at this nomcnt arrived and relieved Judge Elawes , of the outrage commited ipon her person by the man ) 'Brion. She also stated that 10 tried the second time to accomplish lis purpose , but that she summoned all ter strength , jumped from the bed and an screaming from the room to the com of one Mrs. May , who lives in ho same building , and on reaching the locr she fell fainting'to the floor , and ras taken up by the lady and placed II bed. Hero she states that she remained ho rest of the day , all night and part f the next day , when she was bound iy Officer McClure , who had been out in search of her. The crors-ex- urination failed to bring out anything ontradictory to her previous state- asnts. The 'attorneys for O'Brien claimed o case , but their motion for dismissal n these grounds was overruled by udgo Hawes. Arguments were then submitted by , he district attorney and counsel for efendent , the latter claiming that no orce had been resorted to. District Attorney Ferguson argued ; hat no evidence of force was noceBsa- y when the woman had beau placed nder the influence of liquor or drugs , nd quoted decisions to the point. Judge Hawes held the prisoner in he sum of § 500 to await the'action of he grand jury. Up the time of going to press it has ot been ascertained when the case of lie State against Wirth will have a- earing. A new complaint , that of icest insfead of seduction , will have' j be made , since the girl claims that Pirthifl her father. * H pays to trade At COZZENS' OONFLAQBATION , The Old Ark Withstands a Heated Term. At a quarter before one o'clock this , morning loud cries of "Fire ! " were heard in the neighborhood of the old Cozzens house , and the alarm given that that ancient land mark was in danger of being swept away by a con flagration. There was some delay iu Riving the alarm , and in the mean time the Cathedral bell was tolled. The fire started in the old laundry of the hotel adjacent to it , which has of late been used for a stable , and the flames soon enveloped the structure and lighted up the neighborhood , de ceiving the crowds of people that swarmed there into thinking that the old hostlery WES on firo. However , the couth wing did catch fire , and burning brands falling on the roof , kindled a little blaze there. But the Cremea worked well and coon had wa ter playing , which wet down the building well , and ere long the burn ing building was a smouldering heap of charred timbers. It seemed almost incredible that the old weather-beaten ark could be saved , for it is a regular tinder-box , but the firemen seemed to rcaliza all this aud worked with vim , and were success ful. ful.Tho The amount ot damage done is small , the loss on the main building being very slight , only a hole In thereof roof and a charred coiner of the west wing. The stable was entirely destroyed , but the loss cii this was not great , though there was considerable difficulty in saving the four mules and ono horse stabled there. All were driven out , however , with two of the former only slightly scorched. The origin of the fire is unknown , but is believed to have been incendia- . ry. Mr. Gillen , who has slept in the bain for some time , told a BEE re porter that from some cause ho waked , and found the stable full of smoke. He got out of it as soon as possible , wHeo.it was instantly wreathed in flames. He sayd that he saw traces of coal oil on the outside of the bu'lding , as though splashed thcro in order to feed the firo. Others who wore early at tbo scone express themselves as t being of the same opinion. It is most likely then that this is tne explana > ion of the origin of the fire , since there ia noiio other that c&n be reasonably attributed. The many dwellers In the old hotel were badly frightened , ard the build ing presented' every appearance of a bee hive with swarms of bees crowding through the front entrance. -"The Fincst"- Cream Soda Water at - "BELL'S DRUG STORE.

A CEAFTY PLOT. How a Council Bluffs Bank is Said to Have Defrauded a Depositor. In the year 1864 , during the pro gress of the rebellion , * , draft was made on the citizens of Iowa for sol diers for the Union army. Among those who were drafted was a certain gentleman , then a resident of Council Bluffs , whose wife , being ill and at the point of death , he could not nerve himself to undergo the pain of a sep aration. He mortgaged his little farm , which was all that he possessed , to raise the sum of § 300 to procure a sub stitute. The sum was raised and the substi tute found , and given § 25 with which io pay his way to Davenport , where he ivas ordered to report , the balance of ; he sum , § 875 , being deposited in a Council Bluffs bank , subject to the > rder of the substitute when he should report at Dav.enport. The substitute went his way , de- ismpedwith the § 25 , and has never iince been seen. The unfortunate nan who was drafted was obliged to arve in the army until the close of the rar , .which occurred some months hereafter. When he received his discharge he hought Hinself of. the. | 875 lying a the bank , and set out to recover It , ml was informed by tha bank officiabj hit the nocey had been turned-over a a ppovcat marsh , < aoa sccoqnt of tne illure of the iub tituts io re rt | a recalpt by the aforesaid provost marshal , but which has alnce been clearly proved to have been a fraud , was delivered to him. In the course of 'time he drifted to Omaha' , and has recently placed him self in communication with a promi nent law firm here , who , suspecting a huge nigger in the woodpile , opened a correspondence with the adjutant gen eral at Des 3Iolnes , and received the information that no such transaction was recorded , and n snoh receipt ever existed in the office. Yesterday suit was commenced against the bank for § 875 and .interest to da'e about § 1000 , besides addi tional damages for unlawful retention of money. The firm propose to push the case and make it hot for the bank over the river , if the officials do not come to time. 1 The whole case looks as if there was a clear attempt by the bank to de fraud the man of his money , as such a disposal of the funds as they claim was made would have been irregular in the eitro r.e. The receipt could casilj have been obtained of some dischargee provcst marshal , consequently no forgery was necessary. The bank may however , be able to explain the matter m a satisfactory manner , but it is extremely tremely doubtful. SPECIAL NOTICES.
