LOSS AT THE SUNDAY FIRE
Damage Proves to Bo Not So Heavy os Was

The damage by Sunday morning's do-
etructivo llro In the Aires block , In which
wo the Omnhn Hnrdwnro company's ' whole-
sulo store and which wus completely do-
ttroyeJ , Is not sn heavy na was first sup
posed.
The loss on the ontlro building , fronting on
Jones street and which Is owned by Fred-
crick II. Ames , A Uoston capitalist , will not
exceed 110,000 or $12,000 , ( is just that portion
of the building occupied by the hardware
company was gutted. Thcro xvero five floor *
nnd those , together with the roof , wont
down In a ruinous heap. The fire walls on
cither hltlo of the hardware storeroom were
strong and substantial , protecting the buildIng -
Ing on the cast and the west , from the hot
flames. It is thought that the portion of the
building occupied by the hardware llrm can
bo replaced for flO.OOO or Sli'.OOO. The build-
Inir Is insured.
The serious loss Is , of course , to the Omaha
Hardware company , whoso stock of poods
was almost entirely destroyed. The stock ,
according to Frank V. Miller , secretary of
the concern , was not worth over $133,000 or
$140,030 , whllo the insur-inco carried Is
? 125,000. Too secretary Is the bon of I. A.
Miller of Council Bluffs , nnd general man-
ncor of the hardware company. Ho , to-
Bother with A. S. Carter , treasurer , nnd
ether members of the company , visited
jestcrday morning and afternoon the dilapi
dated and ruinous scene of their business.
The orlpln of the llro Is suoposod to bo
( ho work of an Incendiary , although some
com to thltilc that It got its start by some
explosive substance that was Included In the
hardware stock. At all events It was ono of
the most destructive ttres Omaha has had
for some tune. It was also handled exceed
ingly well , considering the fact tlial the flro-
men were hampered on account of the storm ,
the city being In duritncss and all the wires
being down. Then , too , the building Is
badly located and bird to icach in quick
time , on account of the Tenth street viaduct
nnd the close proximity of adjacent build
ings.
Scenes nt the Ituln.
All day loop , and In fact from the time the
fire started , the firemen were assiduously at
work playing streams of water upon the
umouldtrlng debris that lay In a mass at the
bottom of the once flvo-story structure.
Iron girders , twisted and contorted In all
.rnnglnablo shapes , heavy hardware , cutlery ,
'guns , pistols , axes , knives and the like , lay
mere in the ruinous heap. Everything por-
Ishcd , as the heat from the fierce and hot
flumes destroyed them.
The portion of the building occupied In tho.
west end oy Iho United StnteJ Wind Engine
nnd Pump company was slightly damaged
only. The company's stock Is principally
damaged by writer which surged In at the
cellar , damaging the plumber's stock of
goods. The insurance will cover the slight
loss. The cast end was unoccupied , with
tbo exception of some hardware stored m it
by tbo Omaha Hardware company.
Thousands of people In thrones visited
the scene of destruction and vlowod the
ruinous mass of debris , with 1(9 bare walls
towering unward on cither side of the mam
moth building. In the massive pile of rub
bish at tbo north end a portion of the com
pany's safe cifuld , bqseon. At the east end
on immense quantity of uxol grease burned
all day and'fed the smouldering rubbish.
' -The only accident that occurred during'tho
fire was to C. Hoynolds , a llroman of truck
No. 1. A bugo timber , in falling , struck
Hoynolds on the shoulder and right arm. Ho
was not seriously Injured , but was incapaci
tated for work. Ho was removed In the pa
trol wagon to No. 3 cutnno house , after
Which ho was taken to Brown's hospital. It
Is thought that bo will recover from his
wound within a few days.

Who Dcucrto Credit.
In yesterday's account of the tire tbo name
of Chief Ualllgun appeared , although the nro
chief is now seeking to recuperate his broken
health in Florida. The credit for so suc
cessfully handling what threatened to
be a most serious conllagrallon Is
duo Acting Chief Charles Salter
and Assistants Darncs aud Graves.
' , Tunt the tire wus so soon gotten under con
trol is little loss than remarkable , as the ilro-
'men wore handicapped from the yorv start
by almost overwhelming odds. The llro
alarm wires were prostrated by tiaiuntay'a
6termand , as the telephone service was hi a
similar rendition the only way of sending
the alarm to the various engine houses was
by mounted messengers. Considering this
Plate of affairs It will bo scon that almost
superhuman work on thu part of the down
town companion In delaying the progress of
the llames was all that prevented the total
destruction of the entire corner If not , in
deed , of tUo whole block.

NO REASON FOR THE CRIME
Oanso of Yesterday Morning's Terrible
Tragedy Still Wrapped in Mystery ,
HOW THE DEAD BODIES WERE FOUND
Terrible Discovery ofn I'rlend of tlio Icn < I
Girl Coroner .Muni Take * Ch.trgo
of the llodlcs Hint Xotlllc *
the l'rlcnd.1.
About 320 ; Sunday morning n friend nnd
chum of Mabel Stevens , an Inmate of Ncllio
King's establishment on Ninth street , en
tered the room occupied by the young woman
and Abnor N. Gafford , Vho young Iowa com
mission man. She wanted to speak to Mabel
and being acquainted with both the occu-
pantn of the room Iclt no hesitancy In enter
ing. The ga * was burning dimly and she
walked directly to the bedside and shook
Gafford's arm. Ono touch of tbo llcsh was
enough to alarm her , for the arm was cold
and stiff. With n cry for help the girl rushed
from the apartment nnd down the statra as
fast as her feet could carry her. An oOlccr
was quicklv called who tried to report the
matter to police headquarters , but the wires
were down and ho had to run clear to tlio
Mnlard hotel In order to find a telephone that
was In working order.
In a moment after tbo discovery of the
awful crime the whole house was In nn up
roar. The Inmates huddled togotbor In the
parlors or rushed wildly up and down the
hall asking all sorts of questions from the
filgh'ttnod woman who had found the boctioi.
After a moment or two of Intense excitement
the women qulotod down and hardly spoke
above n whisper untll'lbo bodies had been
removed from the premlsct.
When tlio Coroner Cnnu * .
Owing to the fact , that no telephones In the
wostcin part of the city were working , a
cab had to bo called and sent to Coroner
Maul's residence In order to got that ofilclal
on the scene as soon as possible.
After the bodies had been vlowod by the
coroner a search among the effects of the
dead was Instituted.
The coroner at 'first decided to leave the
bodies as they were until morning , in order
to give the jury an opportunity to view the
remains before removal , but this suggestion
of Mr. Maul was inst with so much opposi
tion from Ncllio King and the inmates that
tbo coroner gave up the lanu and sent for his
wagon and two coflins.
The de.ud man's Ratchcl was the first thing
cxammod and from books nnd papers It wus
found that the murderer's name was Abncr
N. Gafford and not.T. J. Gafford , as was first
supposed. Every scrap of paper both in thu
dead man's clothing and satchel was cure-
fully looked over in hopes of finding a bit of
writing which would clear up the mystery oi
the urirno. But the search was fruitless as
nothing but u half dozen business memo
randa books ware found and their
contents throw no light on tbo sub
ject except to establish the name
and residence of tbo dead man.
Some letters addressed to Mabel Dan
iels from Denver aud signed Agulo Mooney
were found In tbo top drawer of the dressing
case. Those were taken possession of by
tbo coroner , who uttcrwards learned that
the Denver woman was a sister of the dead
\Vhenthobodicswcraboing preunrcd
for removal it was found that GafforJ held
tlchtly clutched In his loft hand a crumpled
SI bill , whichwhen unwrapped , was found to
contain 15 cents.
Tno revolver which lay close to the cold
and stiff right band was ono of the latest
pattern Smith & Wesson , 38-callber , ham-
merless weapon ? .
A tinv stream of blood had flowod'from tbo
wound In Gafford's temple , across his death ,
white taco'and down onto the snoxvy pillows
and into the bed.
It was found that tbo bullet which entered
the woman's.brain had clipped oft one little
curly lock of Jot black balr , which lay on the
pillow directly below the spot whore the bul
let bad entered.
On ( jafford's coat was found the cnstgnla
of the Iowa State Traveling Men's associa
tion and in the pockets enough money In sil
ver to ruako the total amounts3.4'J was found.
When the room occupied by G afford and
the apartment adjoining were bolng" cleaned
the money which it was stated the young
man had was found. Scattered under the
bed In tbo next room was a bundlu of bills
amounting to $ J40. it Is presumed , judging
from this fact , that Gafford hud opened the
folding doors and tossed the money into tbo
room where it was found ; that the crime was
premeditated and not committed on the spur
of the moment , as was first supposod.
Just us Iho first strcak.s of dawn were peep
ing through the windows the bodies were
placed in separate coffins and taken to the
morgue.
Concerning the Victims.
As soon as possible the coroner telegraphed
to the sister of the dead woaan and loceivrd
a reply asking him to notlfiy two brothers
who were stopping at tbo Pacific bouse In
Council Bluffs. , This was done and the
brothers called at the morgue later in the
day to learn the full particulars of the affair.
Ono of the brothers said that his sister's
name was Mary Mubnl Mooney and ibat she
was lit years old. Ho also said that their
parents were dead and that the clrl bad
lived In tbo 11 lulls until last August , when
she loft saying aho was going to Carroll , la.
Since then nothing had been heard from her.
A telegram was also sent to .1. J. Gafford ,
the father of the deceased , nt Manning , fa. ,
who replied staling that ho would , arrlvo
this morning.
Notwithstanding notices which were
posted In thu doors of the morgue denying
permlsston'to sou tbo bodies , a oniali crowd
of curious people hung about the fiont en
trance nearly all day.
The inquest will bo held at 3 o'clock this
afternoon. '

WHERE'D
THAT
HAT
COME
FROM
"The Nebraska , you bet ! I used to go to some
hat store , buy a hat with some swell hat mak
ers name on the inside , plank down five big ,
hard earned dollars and walk out into the cold
world under the impression that everybody
was admiring me and my new hat. I'm wiser
now. I go to the Nebraska Clothing Company ,
buya "Nebraska" hat , put up three dollars
and walkout under just as good a hat as I ever
wore. Another thing , I can always get a
shape to suit me. . "
THAT MAN KNOWS HIS BUSINESS. \ J
We do sell as good a hat for three dollar *
as any five dollar hat that ever was made. The
stock is there the linings are there the trim
mings are there it's all there but the two dollars
lars we save you. This saving not only applies '
to the best hat made ( the "Nebraska" three
dollar hat ) but it applies to low and medium
priced goods as well. For instance , we sell a
derby hat for seventy-five cents and another
one for a dollar. You'll wear out a pair of
shoes hunting a hat store that sells thei sa"me
qualities under a dollar fifty and two dollars.
Perhaps you've no idea of the stock of hats
we carry. It's great. We carry all shapes , all
shades , all colors , all qualities. When you
come to us for a hat "you can buy a hat to suifi
you. You're the man to be suited. All we
"want is to please yxm ( and to make a few shii-
lingsto buy bread with ) . Our full spring stock
of "Nebraska" hats is now open.

OUR. SANITARIUM.
This is not a Private Sanitarium , but a public water bottling establishment Unit furnishes employment for more people
ple thnn were over employed in n similinr business in the United Stales.
Eroui those two sqimro doors pocs out more water"1 hciilintr of the nations"than ever wenlfrom any other
spring water establishment in America. Why ? Because the people call for it. Why do they call for it. Ho-
cause the doctors say it is the "Most Wonderful American Water for the treatment of Rheumatism , Gout , Gravel ,
Bright's and nil Kidney Diseases , Acid Dyspepsia , and all forms of Uric Acid Diseases. "
Wo requested them to test it ana toll us what it would clire. They have tested it for years and the vonlio lias coino ,
repuiiodly in the form of more orders for water than wo have bson able to fill promptly.
