UNWRITTEN HISTORY.
As Given to the District At
torney by Horrick.
A Story Told with the Grain
of Salt Condition ,
"If I were to bo shot the neil
minute , " said llorrick , who hag just
been sentenced to the penitentiary , in
a chat with a HUB reporter last even
ing , "I would still say that I had
nothing to d with the burning of Do
Groat's store. "
Herrick docs not Bccm to bo the
least bit worried over his penitoutiary
prospects although ho acknowledges
that ho expected more leniency after
his confession had been made.
Ho wai rather reticent coneoriiing
vthat ho had .sworn to in his state
ment. Ho however said that "in *
September before the building lind
boon burned Charley DeG rout had had
a conversation with him. The matter
took n busiiu-ss turn and DeGroat
spoke ol his entangled afr.iirs and the
dilliculty ho was experiencing in meet
ing his loads of debt. Then ho spoke of
misunderstandings existing between
himself and partner and the dilliculty
they had in agreeing nt all. Finally
DeGroat said , according to Horrick's
story , that lots of building were being
continually burned down in the cast ,
nnd although they were heavily in
sured the money was collected with
out any dilliculty. Ho figured how
nicely ho could settle up his accounts
provided such a calamity should befall
his store Mid ended by intimating
that there was some money in it for
any ono who would nttompt.'tho deed.
Herrick claims that 'ho had another
conversation of' similar import with
DteGroa | . ,
Herrick maintained the defensive
during the whole talk and would not
permit himself to make a positive
statement except in regard to the
store key which , ho said , ho had l'u-
cu'ivcd from..Charloy DeGroat nftor
the lire. Herrick says ho found the
broken lock after the lire nnd as he
TT\S uomowhat of n lock'&mith started
to fix it. It was then that ho received
the key. Ilerrick'sstatement is given
for what it is worth.
From another source it is learned
that the exact contents of Hcrrick's
confession as made to District Attor
ney ISurnhiun aio as .given below.
The facts have been secured from
such a oourco that they may bo
doomed poifectly reliable. Horrick's
story runs about as follows :
Between two nnd three weeks before -
fore the fir6 occurred the DoGroat'o
approached him with the proposition
to burn dowh the stock and secure
the insurance upon the Block. "They
figured up the different nmounta of
the rihkn upon the building held by
tko different . insurance companies ,
and calculated the amount necessary
to be p.iid to tlieir most pressing
creditors with the most miiiuto
exactness. They then offered to pay
Herrick two bundled nnd fifty dollars
out of the insurance they .would re
cover should ho undertake the job ,
which proposition ho , after considera
ble hesitation , accepted. When the
night ngroud upon between tlio throe
men arrived , Herrick collected a lot
of old rags and placed them in one of
the back corners of the store , and then
saturated the rags thoroughly with
coul-otl. When the moment came to
set the pile thus prepared on lire , Ilor-
rick's courage failed him and lie re
fused to touch the match despite the
entreaties of tlio DeOroats. Aniglitor
two subsequently his courage was again
brought up lo the sticking point as he
supposed by the two men , but when
the time cume he absolutely refused
to do it unless they paid him the
two hundred and fifty , dollars at that
time , The DoGrp'ats went to their
safonnd counted its con tents which
(
amounted to just sixty-fi vo 'dollars ,
and oll'orod it to him. Jio absolutely
rofiiHod any amount less than the two
hundred and fifty dollars. After a
conference between the two brothers
they told him that it ho would keep
thematter to himself and walk
about the block to make certain tluit
no block watchman was hovering
around they would give him the $250
In any event , Charley DoGroat
then went into the building and light
ed a match nnd throw it into the mass
of rags , nnd they started away to
await the result. After n little while
when it was seen that the iiro had not
caught the two brothers went back to
the store , and Charley again started
the lire and put the mass into several
dillurent piles lighting each ono , and
covering each pile with u stovo-pipo
Imfc HO that the flame could not bo
seen. Henick's shop was on the alloy
in the rear of the store , and from an
open window facing the store ho saw
the whole proceeding. After the lire
was successfully started the DeGroats
lit out , one running up the alley to
wards Mth street and the oilier down
toward litth street.
When the alarm was given about
20 minutes later , the DoGroata were
safely ensconced in their own beds.
Herrick says that but for the fact
that when ho was arrested the boys
ignored him , and refused to get bail
for him. he would not now nmko this
confession.

DOUSE THE DUST.
The Universal Cry of the People -
plo Yesterday.
Why the Work is not Boguu
at Once.
Mr. Swift Claimn tlmt too Much IB
Expootod of Him *
If there were any people in Omaha
last evening who are not in favor of
having the streets sprinkled they must
Imvo very peculiar ideas as to personal
comfort. While the licnt was not BO
intense yesterday as Thursdayowingbo
the breeze prevailing from the north' '
west , yet it was decidedly more un-
comfortnblo owing , to the dust.
At times throughout the day when tx
stiff brcozo prevailed it was absolutely
terrible. Every store floor in the city
was covered with n coating of'dtmt ,
nnd much clothing nnd dry Roods must
have been damaged. It was n day
which no well regulated citizen will bo
willing to stand again without invest !
gating the sprinkling business. It
will bo romcmbured that ut the
last meeting of the council
the contract for sprink
ling Farnham street from Ninth to
Sixteenth and Douglas from Twelfth
to Sixteenth was let to Thomas Swift
at the ratu of § 220 n week. Every
body was enquiring of every othur
body why the work wns not rasnmod
at once. Very few people could give
any satisfactory answer.
A reporter for Tin : DUE called upon
Mayor lloyd , who is always
Inijt resort in nn emergen
cy of this kind. The mayor
uua found ensconacd iu his now oflico
on llarnoy street busily engaged ir
getting tilings into shapo.
"What is the hitch in the sprink
ling business ? " was asked him.
"You sco"replied the mayor , "tho
citizens living along Farnham street
petitioned the council that thnj
thoroughfare bo sprinkled to
the parallel alloys > north nut
south ; The petition of the
Douglni street property holder ;
simply referred to the utrcot itself ,
The city clerk in advertising ol
course invited proposals for the work
just ns it wns mentioned. Sir , Swiftgo
this contract and the consequence i
that ho refuses to sprinkle Douglas
street to the nlloys.'o want him t ( .
do this nnd there's where the hitcl
cornea in.Vo had n meeting thii
morning. The committco on streets
and grades , myself nnd Mr. Swif
will hnvo another conference nt 2
o'clock in order to ndjust matters i
possible. "
"Thu dust is terrible , isn't it1' ? '
"Yes , something should bo done t
lay it nt once. "
Mr. Swift wns hunted up < to BOO
what ho had to say. His story was
tliis :
"When the city council advertise
for bids for sprinkling streets , they
specified the territory tobo sprinkled
I was the successful bidder , and th
council by resolution awarded mo th
contract. I sot to work buying teams
getting tanks made , securing work
men nnd putting sprinkling carts
thorough working order nt an outla ,
of between two hundred nnd Hire
hundred dollars. When 1 applied t
the city ollico for the contmc
ready to got to work , niter nome delay
lay and red-tnpoism , T found the
contract presented for my signature
nnd bond included
one-third moro
territory than the original contract
embraced. My apparatus , property
and securities stand idle
, nnd I am
eager to do faithful work if the city
officials were not disposed to impose
more on mo than originally agreed. It
js the fault of the city ollioiuls , and
not mine , that the dust is Hying1
"Wasn't through n mistake that
the Douglas street alleys were not
mentioned us. boundaries ? "
"No , sir. At the mooting of coun-
citywo weeks jigo this very matter
- -
was dispussod and it was decided that
Douglas street strictly would only bo
sprinkled. Action in regard to sprink
ling should have been taken n
month ago. " It Is pretty hard
to expect a man to bo ready
at a moment's notice to do this work.
You see it is necessary to make a great
many prpparaJua | , "
It is to bo hopd that the matter
ll bo adjusted in some satisfactory
shape nt once , ao that people will ol
I bo compelled to swallow more in
I ono peck of dust u day.

Bcripturo bearing on the temperance
question. Being called upon to say
a few words , Jio rose and said ho
always took n great Interest in the
temperance cause. Ho was glad to
find that there were some who worked
in this cause , nnd while leading lives
of temperance themselves , did nil in
their power to Urge others to do the
same. Hero in Onmlm , as elsewhere ,
the women were the ones who
look the lead in this movement.
Ilo urged them to persevere in the
good work and success would crown
their efforts. It seemed to him that
the leading newspapers and business
men of this city allowed the law on
the temperance question to bo broken
with impunity. It was strange to
him that people's ' minds were GO
blinded as not to rccojjnizo the
alarming evils of drunkenness. If a
law is to be set aside simply because
it is unpleasant to n small portion of
the community , where was the use of
making a law at all ? Ho thought it a
seriouH matter that lawyers and oth
ers should allow a lvw which had
been passed to bo treated in
the contemptuous manner this
Slocttmb law was being treated. Ho
felt confidant if the ladies would' go
on agitating , BO as to keep the nublic
alive to the facts of the case , the law
would ultimately bo carried out.
Blaster Charles Henderson and
Miss Sylvester , read shost recitations.
Mr. Jardino made a few pertinent re
marks on this question , nnd the meet
ing terminated \Vith the Doxology.
