The child's father , her brother and two uncles then gathered about the negro as ho lay fastened to the torture iilatform and thrust hot Irons into his quivering flesh. Every groan from the fiend , every contortion tion of lil body , was cheered by the thickly packed'crowd of 10,000 iicoiiie. The mass of beings was liOO yards in diameter , the scaf fold being in tlio center. From his feet and legs the hot Irons , plenty of fresh ones being at hand , were rolled up and down Smith's stomach , back and arms , Then the eyes \\oreburnciLout nnd Irons wcro thrust down his throat. The men of the Vnnco family having wreaked vengeance , the crowd jilled all kinds of combustible stuff around the scaf fold , jtoured oil on it nnd set It afire. Tlio negro rolled and wriggled and tossed out of the mass , only to bo pushed back by the peojilo nearest him. Turned MiuddurliiKly Away. Jin tossed out again and was thrown back.

The negro WHS unruly and Vance was forced to use his club. The negro swore vengeance and several times assaulted Vance. In his greed for rovcngo lie last Thursday grabbed up the little girl and committed the crime that ho will never again commit.

[ Special Tele- ram to Tun Ben , ] All day n searching mrty , under the load of Chief of Police iVanzqr , has been ransacking the suburbs of Hastings In an endeavor to find the missing iresldent of the city council , Charles Cameron , who disappeared shortly after his dry goods store was closed by the sheriff on Monday last. The police authorities acted on the theory that Cameron has committed suicide. They asserted that ho did not leave the city on ahy train on Monday last , ns ho was known by all the conductors running out of the city. Then lie was supposed to bo morphine cater- and the package he took Voni the safe might have been that drug. V drop letter to his wife instructing her low to care for his life insurance , and bid- ling her good by , supiwrted that view. On the other liauu ono to Ills daughter , saying that ho found it hard to leave home , ? ave encouragement to those of his friends , vlio refused to give up hope and who be loved thai , ho was well and had gone to his old homo in Canada. Will Continue the Seare.1i. Mayor C. C. Crittenhouso stated that in : he event today's Search was unsuccessful : i much more extensive search would bo made tomorrow. In common with the other city authorities ho believed that Mr. Cam eron would bo found by the side of some hay stack , either dead from cold and fatigue or else from the effect of sonic drug like mor phine. Mr. Cameron's friends , who beleivo that lie is still living , have advanced the theory that ho crawled Into a box car on a freight train which loft Hastings for the cast bo tweeu 6 and 7 o'clock Monday evening. They contend that while ho is well known In the state , yet with the overcoat and hat he were lie could easily have escaped observation , especially when once outside of Nebraska. However that may be , ho certainly did not wish his family to suffer temporarily , as a roll containing 4100 was found in u bureau 1 rawer. Mr. Cameron carried about $21,000 life insurance in old line companies. Much of this ho had carried for years.

Druggist E. V. Haley , doing business at 408 South Thirteenth street , stepped off the B & M train at Crete last evening into the outstretched arms of ofllccrs , who wcro waiting for him. Ho is wanted in Omalri on the charge of conniving to sot ilro to his Farnam street drug store. < , The llro which Haley and his porter are charged with causing broke out In the rmcr'.s iilaco of business about 4 o'clock yesterday morning. The llro department was Just roturnlng from Hanscom nark and were at the drug store in remarkably cjuick time. The damage was confined to less than S500. l.onliiMl Very Suspicion * . The attention of Fire Chief Galligan was attracted to the peculiar condition of affairs existing in the place , nnd ho closely ( lucstloned Calloway , who slept In the storo. The ; iegro told a plausible story of having been awakened by the smell of llro aud smoke , and on getting up found the" steve overturned , lie had Just been able to dress and get out. The chief was not satisllcd with the negro's tale and had him locked up to await further develop ments. Ho still maintained the story .first told by him. During tlio afternoon Calloway was taken from his cell aud led upstairs to the office of the chief of detectives. He was placed on the rack and a series of questions propounded. Ho was asked concerning the origin of the blaze and at first maintained a doggedncss that boded no good result from the olllcers' point of view , lie repeated the story told by him , but by adroit questioning finally saw ho was cornered and gave up the whole story. Uo told all ho knew about the origin of the fire and completely surprised tlio detectives. In short the negro confessed .that ho was guilty of arson and implicated his employer. K. V. Haloy. Tlio sustanco of the story ia that ho had been taken Into the confidence of Haley. I'ronilicd a Sum of Money. The druggist promised him a certain sum of money if ho would set lire to the place in some way and make it appear that the ilames had caught from an overheated stovo. Insurance was the object. Enough confi dence was placed in Calloway's story to war rant Chief Detective Haze in having a com plaint drawn up charging both Calloway and Haley with arsjn and also charging Haley with inducing Calloway to commit n crime and aiding and abetting him in the commis sion of tlio same. In telling his story the porter dropped hints that led to the belief that another negro named John Heady was implicated ami ofllccrs were at once sent out to arrest him. Heady was easily found and brought to the city Jail. Ho also was plied with questions and without any hesitancy told what he knew. Ho asserted that Haley had ottered him money to sot ilro to his drug store and tha * ho had almost agreed when ho became frightened and refused to do the Job. He produced letters corroborating his statements. They were from Haley and of fered him "a good chance to mane some money easily. " This was enough for the police and watch was sot for Haley who spent yesterday in Crete , A telegram was s.0 nt him informing him of his loss and ho was not expected here until this morning. Mr. Haley probably wasn't surprised to learn that his store had been burned and started homo at once. When he stepped from the train last night ho was very much surprised , however , for a couple of the city's sleuths read u warrant to him and then convoyed the druggist to the police station , where ho' will have to answer to the allegation in tlio complaint in court. Not tliu I'I rut Suspicious Tiro. It will be remembered that about two months ago the drug store of Haley & Hill- linger , 1807 Faniam street , was almost totally destroyed by llro ono cold night. Tills fire started in the elevator shaft in the rear of tUo store , and before an alarm was turned in the whole rear part of the building was almost totally destroyed. A heavy in surance was carried on this stock of goods also. also.An An investigation was made at the time by the fire chiefs and the insurance adjusters into the origin of the lire , as the insurance men thought it rather strange that a fire should gain such headway in such n short timo. It took some time to go into the mat ter , but the case was nt last settled. The in vestigation showed that persons had been in the rear room of the store at least twenty minutes before the policemen discovered the lire. lire.It It was the suspicious circumstances sur rounding the Farnam street fire that led to the investigation yesterday with tlio above results. At the police station all the men are booked as suspicious , characters nnd will bo arraigned this morning when the more serious charge against them will bo pro- ferred. Itllley'M l.rtlern. The letters written to Heady by the drug gist and referred to by him in his talk with the detectives are as follows : CIIETE , Neb. , Jan. 27.

Haley's father Is a wealthy , respectable man and will do almost anything to save his son from going to the penitent ! iry. Callotvay'H Startling Conrrsnlon. After n little persuasion Calloway last night consented to tell all ho knew about the lira and gave a delated statement of his transactions with Haloy. He said : "I lirst saw Mr. Haley in his store on Monday morning about 10 o'clock. Hn told mo what ho wanted mo to do , and said ho would give mo 50 nnd a now suit of clothes lie said I was to do the Job Monday and that ho' would leave town. Ho said ho guessed someone would telegraph to him if the store burned down. I said all right. Monday I was to set the store aliro , but 1 didn't. Yesterday morning I thought it was a good time and I sot it allro , " "How did you do thu worki" was asked by Chief Haze. "I swept up all the rubbish between two counters on ono side of the store ami put a lot of straw between the counters on the other side. I lit them both with a match and then pulled out one of the logs of the stove , thinking it would fall ovcr.but it didn't as it caught against a jkiat and was only part tipped over. Italey didn't say when ho would give mo the money or clothes , but I supiosod | he meant ho would when t did the Job. " The negro Heady , who gave to the police the letters that seem to fasten the crime of arson o.i the druggist , had been working for him up to Monday. On that day ho was discharged because , ho Slid , ho refused to sot th < 5 place on fire. Calloway's statement was tuknn In writing and In the presence of two witnesses read to him. "That's Just the way Jt was , " ho said , when asked if it was correct. SUCCEEDED BY STBYKEB. .lulut Muhonuy Turn * tlio I'uor lliiu * Over to ( III SuerciBor.
