I by some of thu mumbors of the illy llrc _
I dcparlincnl. Shortly before II o'clock
WuclnosilHj1 night Officer K. M. Scanlan , who
IB iloititf special work in the eastern part of
the city , chanced to pass an old hiitltllni ;
that was formerly used an a marble shop on
Kagt Hroiidwiiy nu.ir thu corner of 1)111 ) ton
anil tllsravuroil that It w.is on lire. He ex-
tltiKUlshcd the blaze , which was in the
southwest corner of the btilhllnp , and passed
on , thinking but little more about It.
Half an hour later he reiiassuJ the same
place ami found the lire n iilti burning. Ho
put It out imco more , .hist as this hnppunod
Onii-cr O. U Martin and his son , Oniror G.
N. Martin , who Is dolnir special work , heard
two men running down 1'iureo struot. It did
not occur to them that anythuiR was snrl-
ously wroni ; iiiul so they niado no effort to
stop the fugitives , although they followed
them on the run. The two men who worn
nhead dashed into the rear door of the
UppKi1 Hrondway uiiKino house and shutting
the door lifter them p.isscd tip stairs , as
Martin coulu sue through n small window in
the rear of the building , although he could
not sue plainly enough to recognize thu two
men. The door locked when it shut and ho
could not BO nn.v further , and .so Martin the
yomiKur , ran around to the front of the
building to see that no one escaped that way.
CniilCht l/nilur Mmplcloim rtrriinnlunrfn
Iranian then went to lunch , lea vine
Martin to watch the scone of the lire.
About three o'clock Martin was rewarded
by the sight of a man coming up the stivot.
lie slipped stealthily Into the passageway
between tlio marble hop and the building
next door , but almost immediately came out
again , .lust as he emerged from the place
Martin collared him and demanded to know
his business. Ho was considerably sur
prised to find that It was no other than
\Vebber. His hand was in his pocket , and
he seemed unwilling to take it out. Heat
lust did so , however , after repeated orders
from the policeman , and in it was
what looked like a bundle of paper.
It proved lo bo filled with
' waste , " similar to that used at the
cnglno houses , and the whole was saturated
with Itcruscne. By un order from Chief
Scanlan ho was allowed to uo home , but
about HiO : ; o'clock ho was found by the ofll-
cer asleep on a pile of hay in the engine
house and was arrested and tak.ui to the
lockup.
When the officers searched the haymow for
Webber they woin surprised to lind Chlof
Nicholson aiso asleep on the same pile of
hay with Webber. Appearances indicated ,
so they claimed , timt lie had been drlnitinp.
They Man no spucitlo charge against him to
make and so they allowed him to go homo
as soon as ho recovered. It is learned that
Webber , Miles .Schollold. another llro-
inan at the Upper Broadway house ,
and Chief Nicholson spent most of thu
afternoon and the evening , until ' . )
o'clock in Omaha together.
Crvutnl n Sensation.
The affair created a tremendous sensation
in official circles yesterday , and it was no
trounle to tind these who charged the chief
and some of the members of the Upper
IJroadway engine house witn complicity in
Webber's misconduct. That Webber should
bu so much at homo at the engine house ,
and that two men should be seen running
away from the llro into the back door of the
cngino house made things look decidedly
shady at least. The chief was seen vcslcr-
day and emphatically denied having any
connection with Webber's midnight busi
ness. Ho also denied that he had been
drinking a drop on the night previous , or
that ho was any drunker then than when
the conversation with THE Bun reporter
took place. He stated that he had never
had any use for Webber , and accompanied
bis statement with a good deal of profanity ,
which was intended to strengthen his re
marks.
Webber was kept in solitary confinement
yesterday so far as.any one but police ofll-
ecru were concerned. Just what ho might
have to say cannot bo learned direct from
him , but is it reported on peed authority
that he mane statements which implicate n
number of the members of thei llro depart
ment. Hu slated that he was encouraged to
enter the business of setting llros bythe
boys" at No. 4 , who told him that if he
wanted to have the si/eot the tire depart
ment increased thu Dest , way to bring it
about would bu for him to go and start KOIIIO
( ires. He claims to have had an understand
ing with Chief Nicholson that ho should
hnvo the first vacancy that might occur on
the force und that in case an increase should
be made in the department he should bo the
first lo prollt by It.
DfiHiuncuil liy thn Clilcr.
Webber has never boon on the dopartmcnl
hut once , and that was when Charles Sander
son , captain of No. 1 hose house , was in In
dianapolis attending thu ( irand Army re
union. The chief says ho never had any use
for "tho , " rofcrrinp to Wob-
.bur , and that when Sanderson wont to In
dianapolis ho didn't want to appoint Webber
his substitute. Sanderson told him , however -
over , that Webber owed him some money
and ho didn't expect over to Ret it unless he
got it in that way' . For that reason , lie
saya , he appointed Webber Sanderson's sub
stitute.
A sensation was caused by the announce
ment that certain members of the llro de
partment had been euilty of starting IIres In
niiler to glvo thu department more work&to
do , In the that *
hope thu number of lire a " '
might he increased and their friends niigllT
have jobs ut the city'soxpenso. No fireman
was over convicted of the offenses charged ,
but there was such n stir about It that the
efforts were no further made. Lately It has
been noticed that lire * have hocn more
frequent than usual In thu vicinity of the
Uppur Brondw.iy house , particularly lire's
which bore all the outward symptoms of
having been the work of incendiaries. Had
the attempts made Wednesday night been
successful it IB hardly likely that the lire
would have been extinguished without a tcr-
riblo loss of property. Thu building Is .situated
In : i thickly setlhm neighborhood , and with
the terrific galu that was blowing , a largo
llro would have noon almost an inevitable
occurrence.
The first result of Webber's disclosures lo
the authorities came to light ycsterdny
afternoon about 5 o'clock , when an officer
went to No. 4 hose house and placed Chief
Nicholson and .Mllos Kchotlold , J urn as
O'Lirlcn and 1 Niter Kuykcndall , members of
the department , undernrrosi , Informations
had previously been Hied in thu otllco of the
city clerk by City Attorney Hazolton , charg
ing them with conspiracy to commit arson.
All four of the accused gave bonds , a num
ber of leading democrats pulling up enough
to soctiro their release until this morning ,
when the case will corao up in police court ,
Webber is still in juil.
Action of Oily Aillhiirlllvi.
As soon as the case was reported to Mayor
I-K-xwrcnco ho called together a meeting of
the city officials and the matter was laid be
fore them at a star chamber session ut thu
city building , A meeting ol the council was
decided upon for this evening , wlion a num
ber of matters will bu brought to the notice
of the council by thu mayor. It Is also
stated on the host of authority that some
action will bo taken loward purifying the
llro department. A number of heads will bo
clipped off , and this will complete ihu duty
of the council. From that time on tlio re
sponsibility for hunting out and punishing
the guilty ones will Uo with the courts.
Nlcltulioit' * Time In Omitliu.
Officer Wiatt was sent to Omaha yester
day to make an inveetlguibn as to Chief
Nicholson' * actions while there Wednesday

ducted the fire chief back to the store and
mndo him pay for the ruined hat under
threats of arresting him. On one occasion
ho was so noisy on the street tint another
policeman threatened to run him In. .
"I'd have you know,1' said Nicholson ,
drawing himself up to his full height , "that
I am chief of the flro department In Council
Bluffs. "
" 1 don't care If you're chief of police In

A motion for a new trial was filed by the

davlt of the foreman of the shops of the

his opinion that the motor company ran Us
cars In a reckless and negligent manner ;
tlmt the motor company had no right on the
streets of the city of Council Hiuffs. Ho
said that If ho had his way about
if ho would tear up the track and drive the
company out of the city. Wiswell was a
sewlnir machine agent and was malting a
business call on his wife when the conversa
tion referred to took place. Wiswell was
afterwards drawn as juror in thn case in
question. The motor company's attorney
also tiles an affidavit in which he says that
Wiswo'l ' told him. when examined for
admission lo ihe Jury box , that bo was not
prejudiced against the motor company. Ho
claims he did not know of Ihu above men

opinion of my chances with Mitchell.
Well. I simply have this to say : I will do
my best to win. 1 consider Mitchell a very
hard man to beat. He is very intelligent ,
well versed in all ring tactics , very strong
and full of endurance. Ho is not olu in
fact , in the prime , of Hfohas not dissipated
one-tenth as much as peopjp say ho has , is
the father of four children , has had oceans
of ring experience , and last , but not least ,
has the advice of Jack MeAuliffe , the Ameri
can lightweight champion , who has had a
splendid chance to study my style when ho
seconded John U Sullivan against me ; also
the aid of Jim Hall , the wonderfully clover
middleweight , who hnarrcd with mu and
whom 1 have always given the credit of beIng -
Ing one of the cleverest men I over met.
Mitchell Is no doubt as clever as I. So it
settles itself down to , this : I have youth ,
height and reach on my side ; Mitchell Iras
strength and harder punching ability on his
side. I expect him to' light for my body. I
also expect the contest to be a very loner one.
say forly rounds , and tlio butler general
will win. , .
I think the match .will positively take
place at Coney Island : . I hope to enter the
ring weighing about 1SS pounds.
' ) licio bccms to bo a decided difference of
opinion as to the present condition of Jack
Dempsey. Now , 1 have known him for ton
years and 1 know that he has fully recovered
from his late illness. Ho has worked with
J
me , walked and boxed with me for the last
1'I month , and with eight weeks training will
be I lit to give any 142-pound man in the
world a very stiff argument. 1 would like to
see Jack fight and win once again , as 1 con
sider him the groalcst of all tlio present day
llghlbrs. ' I studied his style and copied it to
some extent , and any time hu meets a man
anywhere near bis si/.e or weight he will
be a fo man to bet on.
