    THE OMAHA DAILY BEt/1 / TUESDAY. MAY 15 , 18Q4.
Ihoy dlicovcred that the man they were look
Ing for was In that city. When the of
Hceni started out to nnd their man the ]
tvcro cautioned to use more than ordinary
care In making the arrest.
They found their man standing In oni
of the machlno ( hops talking to a moulder
Wilson won caught off hlii guard by UN
ofnceri , and almost before he had any In
ttnutlon of danger he was In the hand
of Detective Flynn , who grabbed him b ]
the wrists. It was a wise move , for 01
quick ai the ofllccr seized him Wilson dlvoc
down Into his pants pocket and Bttcmptot
to shoot without drawing his gun. Scr
Kcant Mahaney saw the move and pullei
Charles' hand out , taking the gun away from
him. The prisoner tried to bite the men
but n hard blow In the mouth knocked oul
Bovcral teeth and lock the fight out of the
murderer. He was locked up and the Syra
cuse officers notified. When Dink was told
that the officers had succeeded In tnkhif
Charles alive and without any of them get
ting hurt , IIQ laughed and refused to believe
th statement. Charles was so angry nl
' being token unawares by the officers that he
fairly frothed at the mouth. Ho swore violently
lently and ( Mid that If he had half a chance
that ho would have klll'd the policeman ci
liavo been killed himself. The men In the
machine shops did not know of the cbaractci
of Wllnon. and when ho was roughly handled
by the officers they were Inclined lo offei
to assist him , but when they learned thai
he wan olio of the murderers of Detective
Ilnrvoy they were more than willing to ren
der th ? officers any assistance.
The Wllnon boys were raised In Omahn
and are well but not favorably known In
this city. When they were mcro lads al
school they gained a reputation for desper
ate daring which caused them to bo feared
nnd avoided by their play fellows. When
they were going to school hero they URed
to organize and leadi gangs of boys Into more
or less serious mischief. They kept this ur
tinlll Ihelr names began to appear on the
police blotters , and the Omaha officers had
to keep them under continual surveillance.
From potly crimes they branched out Into
greater ones , and now their names , descrip
tions and photographs adorn nearly every
rogue's gallery In the counlry. .
THEIR FIRST SERIOUS SCRAPE.
The flrst tlmo thcso young men became
prominently known In police circles was
when they were arrested In Loavenworth ,
Kan. , with a complete set of finely made
burglar's lools. The line finish of Iho tools
attracted the nttenllon of Ihe western police ,
who at once began to regard the boys as be
ing more than ordinary criminals. Durlns
their Imprisonment In the Leavonworth Jail
they1' ' wrole lo their slater Nellie In Ihls clly.
The girl was then a saleswoman In a sloro
on Farnam street. She left for Leavenworth
with all the money she could raise , nnd by
hard and unllrlng work she succeeded In
securing their release on bomUi. Before
tlmo for their trial the men loft the counlry ,
forfeiting their ball.
The chief of police In Kansas City notified
Chief Seavey of their escape and local ofll
cers were put at work lo locale them.
"Dink" and Charles were soon located at
Twenty-ninth nnd Casslus streets. When
placed under arrest they made a desperate
flght , but with much difficulty they wore
overpowered nnd locked up In the city Jail.
Then their photographs were placed in the
Omaha rogues' gallery for the first time.
The men resisted all efforts to gel photo
graphs ot them , but with the aid of a kodak
Chief Seavey caught them off their guard
nnd secured the identifying likenesses which
were the means of their final capture for
the brutal murder of Detective Harvey.
The boys were afterward ordered to leave
the city , which they did. They wont to St.
Joseph , Mo. , and fell In with Slyo and Hcds-
pelh , Iho Iraln robbers , who were Ihen ex-
convicts from Iho Missouri penllonllary. II
was Ihen that the notorious train robbing
gang , whoso daring robberies almost para
lyzed railway officials , was organized. They
sent to Omaha for Hires more crooks named
Gctcho , Kellner and Hawkins. These three
were all cx-convlcts ready to do any kind of
crooked work. The gang was organized
ociiien the recruits reached St. Joseph. A
few days afterward Ihey were , joined by a
burglar ? yarned McDermott , who had Just
finished , serving a sentence In the Canon
City , Colo. , penitentiary. This McDermott
was arrested once In Denver on suspicion ot
being tlio murderer of Officer John Phillips ,
who was shot by a burglar whom ho caught
In Iho act of going through a house on his
heal. Nothing could 'bo proven against the
man , and he turned "up In Omaha shortly
afterward , where ho was recognized nnd
arrested by Sergeant Ormsby. The Denver
police were notified , but as they did not have
a case against him 'ho was released and
told to leave the cily. . Ho Ihen went ti > St.
Joseph and Joined the now thoroughly or
ganized Wilson gang , of whom "DlnkL and
Charles were "tho leaders. They had enough
men then to do daring' ' work , and their plans
were laid for the successful and thrilling
robberies which followpd each other In quick
succession. ,
DARING OMAHA ROBBERIES.
Their flrst Job was to hold up the'employes
at the Ames avenue street car barn In this
city. After subduing the employes they cul
tha telephone wires leading down town and
blew open the safe , obtaining about $1,000
by the operation. They cscapd and shortly

afterward hold up the Missouri Pacific ex
press train nt Fortieth and Leavonworth
streets , robbing the passengers and express
messenger of neveral thousand dollars.
The gang left this part of the country and
were next heard ot at Milwaukee , whcro
they held up another train and secured a
rich haul.
Then the pnnR went Into Missouri , They
made their headquarters In St. Louis , where
they planned the famous Adams express car
robbery on the St. Loula & San Krnnclsco
railroad , which took place near Pacific , Mo
They secured $15,000 by this haul. Up to
this tlmo the robbers had been extremely
fortunate , and as they had stolen largo sums
of money It was Agreed to divide the plunder
nnd separate , for the officers alt over the
country wre on the alert to effect their
capture and earn tlio big rewards that were
offered.
The division of the "swag" took placa In r
house In the heart of St. Ixnila. Sly nm
Hedspetli went to California nnd cnjoyei !
llfo on the Pacific coast with their Ill-gotten
gains. The others of the gang went In
various directions. *
\Vllllnm Desmond , chief of the St. Louis
city detective force , put all hln men nt work
to try and capture the daring robbers. Ho
came to Omaha with Detective McQrath
nnd sought assistance from Chief Scnvoy ,
who gave the St. Louis ofllcers all the help
nnd Information nt his command. A
systematic hunt was then begun for the
members of the gang. Chief Desmond
located the woman In St. Louis nt whoso
liouso the gang had made their headquarters
and where they had divided the spoils. In
order to save herself from prosecution for
harboring criminals the woman told the
chief all she knew about the men.
Sly was arrested nt Los Angeles , Cal. On
his person was found the watch taken from
the express moiscngor and a ring tlmt was
known to liavo been In the express safe. Ho
was taken back to Missouri , pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to twenty years In the
Jefferson City penitentiary. Later Informa
tion was received that Hedspetli was receiv
ing mall under an alias at San Francisco ,
Cal. This Information was communicated to
the Snn Francisco policy , who arrested
Hedspetli a few days later ns ho was calling
for his mall at the poatolllce. Shortly after
this two members of this gang attempted
to hold up a train near Fort Scott , Ark. ,
but were overpowered and kl'led. Hedspetli
fought his casn bitterly In the courts , but
was finally convicted nnd sentenced to
twcnly-flvo years In the Missouri state
prison. Dink Wilson escaped , went Into the
mountains near Utah and was In hiding fern
n long time. This was the last trace the
ofllcers had ot him until his arrest for the
murder of Detective Harvey.
LON'd LIST OF DUUQLAniES.
Since that tlmo Charles Wilson and Mc
Dermott were nrrestcd Th Council Bluffs for
blowing open a safe In a store on Droadwny.
While In jnll In Council Bluffs Nettle Wil
son went over there from this city and
again secured ball for both of them. They
Immediately forfeited their bonds nnd loft
the country. They wore next heard of In
Los Angeles , whcro they blow open several
safes , making some rich hauls. The Sun
Francisco police finally caught them and secured -
cured their conviction for one of the minor
jobs they did and the men were sentenced
to the San Quentln penitentiary for a term
of five years each. On their way to the pen
itentiary Charles Wilson effected his escape
through the negligence of his guards. Mc
Dermott was not so fortunate nnd ho Is now
serving his sentence In the California prison.
Some time after this the safe In Julius
Treltschko's saloon In this city on Thir
teenth and Howard streets was blown open
by experts nnd ? 1,400 worth of money and
Jewelry stolen. Detectives Savage and
Dempsey were of the opinion that this Job
was done by Ootche , Kellner and Pete Haw
kins. The robbers must have left the city at
once , for no trace of them could be found.
In n short time after the robbery Chief
Seavey received Information from the
sheriff of Carroll county , Iowa , that two
men , whom ho described , had broken out of
the county jail there. These men were cap
tured In the act of blowing open n safe In
the city of Carroll and were Idcked up In the
county Jail , from which they made their es
cape. The Omaha police knew from the
description of the burglars that they were
Hawkins and Kellner. They were arrested
n week later by Detectives Savage and
Dempsey In a room over the New York chop
house , on Fourteenth street , near Douglas.
They still had on prison clothes , not hav
ing had time to jnako a change. As soon
ns they were locked up the Carroll county
sheriff was notified and soon arrived In
Omaha. Ho identified and claimed- his pris
oners , and after putting on the handcuffs
and slinckcls ho offered to wager that the
men would not escape again. In twenty-
four hours after he reached Carroll with the
men Hawkins was again a frco man , having
cut his way through the bars twlth small
saws furnished him by some pal who gained
idnilsslon to the jail and probably hood
winked the not overly careful jailor. He
has slnco successfully evaded arrest.
Kellner was tried for the Carroll Job and
was sentenced to servo two years In the
Fort Madison penitentiary.
Ootchc Is n blacksmith and machinist and
is said to have made nil the tools for the
gang , but so far he has always managed
to escape being caught. Ho Is now wanted
In Creston , la. , for blowing open a safe In
the business portion of the city.
The Wilson boys , who were the heads of
the gang and who planned and helped execute
the most ot thcso robberies , were lost track
of until they were arrested for blowing
open a safe In Syracuse by Detective Har
vey. . "
Oetche and Hawkins nro the only ones of
this dangerous gang , who are now nt large ,
and It Is only n-question of time untllthcy
are lodged behind the bars. This Is the his
tory of the "Wilson gang. This crowd used
to laugh to scorn the fancied security In any
modern safe , and the public In general has
reason to feel thankful that this gang has
been so thoroughly broken up , with most of
Us members confined In the various prisons
throughout the country.
The Wilson family Is now said to bo
living on a farm near Paterson , N. J.
Slnco the trial of "Dink" every move the
family has mndo has been known to the
detectives. Nettle Wilson , who has as
sumed an nllas , Is said to have acted ns
treasurer for her brothers , nnd during the
trial sthe was present In Syracuse. She did
nl ! In her power to save her brother , but the
evidence- was too strong against him.
Charles Wilson will bo put on trial for his
llfo some tlmo this summer.
HOW DINK WAS DISPOSnD OF.
A few years ago the general assembly of
New York adopted electricity for the exe
cution of criminals , nnd so far It has proven
quite successful. While death by this means
must necessarily bo violent , It Is argued
that It Is Instantaneous , nnd Is more humane -
mane than nny other means which has yet
been tried. The moans adopted to kill
"Dink" Wilson were the same as those used
In the execution of several other men. The
apparatus consisted of n Stationary engine ,
on alternating-current dynamo and exciter ,
a Cardow voltmeter , with extra resistance
coll. calibrated for n range of from thirty to
2,000 volts ; an ammeter for alternating cur
rants from 0.1 to 3 amphures , a Wheat-
atone bridge , rheostat , swltqhes , tlm death
chair , etc. The dynamo was nn alternating-
current machine , capable of generating n
maximum electro-mntlvo pressure of 2,376
volts. After the apparatus had been care
fully tested the condemned man wns
strapped to the electric chair with his head
reclining against nn electrode. The poll of
the clcctrodu wns llrmly bound to the base
of the brain , nnd the hair covering that
part of the skull had boon shaven off In
order to permit a close contact of tha In
strument , The hands were placed In a so
lution of warm salt wntor containing elec
trodes nnd alternating currents were np-
piled on the calves of the legs. As soon as
the current wan turned on with full force
there was a sudden stiffening of the whole
mmcular system , and the deadly current
rapidly dissolved the tissues of life. In an
Instant after the turning of the current all
signs ot lite were extinct.

Well , we won the first one anyway.
Qulncy's aggregation of ball lessors made
their first appearance at the Omaha ground
yesterday , and your Uncle Bill's pcnnan
winners Jumped onto them with their No. 1
shoos and fairly stamped the life out o
them. It wasn't even close enough to be
Interesting , and the only fault that youi
undo had to find was that the visitors al
ways hopped In with an error Just when ni
earned run was In sight. Thirty big , sue
culent runs and only four ot them earned.
While the game was too .one-sided tc
arouse much enthusiasm , It Included one ot
two of the prettiest plays that have beer
seen hero this season. Double plays wore as
numerous as dandelions on a sunny hillside
and DuShano's one-handed catch of Jaml
sen's fly to the center field fence In the
eighth Inning was of the sensational order
Munyun made a couple of grand slant
pick tips of what were meant for clean hits
and Wood cut Mr. Krehmoyer off at the plate
by as pretty a stop and Ihrow as was over
seen on a diamond.
It would take n page lo tell how the
runs were gained. The homo team Jusi
batted around In the first Inning to go
their hand In and in the second they ballot
around iwlco , something that is rarely seen
on a ball field. They had eighteen men
at bat In that Inning nnd three homo runs
helped to swell the total. Sherwood founi
life too hard In that inning and he was re
tired In favor of Harkncss , who was also
touched up enough to last htm a week.
Munyan led at the bat with two home runs
two two-baggers and a single , nnd Wooc
and Fear have five hlls each to their credit.
It was simply a slaughter , but the Qulncy
lads say Ihoy will do better today , and It
Is to be hoped that they will. Lucas um
pired with much better success than previ
ously , and there was but very little dis
satisfaction with his decisions. He has
given It out cold that he will flno the next
man that kicks , and this seems to have
a salutary effect on the players.
This tells the story of the game :

Knowing Ones Scnlo the Thirteen Handicap
CniullditteH Down Mutorliilly ,
NEW YORK , May 14. The horses In the
Brooklyn handicap were not worked today ,
ns they have had their final preparation ,
and they will rest until lomorrow. AJax
was out early for a short canter at a low
rale of speed , and now and again one of
the others appeared for n few minutes ,
cantering enough to keep their blood In
circulation. Sir Walter was expected from
Jerome Park , bul nl 10 o'clock he had not
put In an appearance. His work has been
done , however , nnd he will get nolhlng
more llion a warming up canter after his
Journey hither.
The crowd at the track was larger than
Is usual on Monday morning , for they
Ihoughl that they would have a chance
to sec the grcal son of Midlothian try the
course. Il was Ihe general opinion lhal
It was a mistake on the part of Walter
Rollins to delay so long In sending his
charge to the place where the race Is to
be run , nnd the change from the saddle
bags track nl Jerome Park may cftccl his
race. All of the other candidates have
been tried on the track , nnd the favorite
of the eastern turfmen has not.
The wiseacres at the Iraok were this
morning discussing Banquet's olmnces ,
and all think that he has a good chance to
win. Leonawell was out and showed
signs of lameness , which did not wear olt
as he was cantered slowly. It has not
yet been fully decided whether he will be
sent to the post , but the chances are
ngalnst It. Don Alonzo may be sonl ns a
pacemaker for Banquel , but he Is not con
sidered In favor by his owner. All sorts
of rumors nro alloat , as Is Ihe case generally
ally- before the race , anil It was Bald that
Clifford had gone amiss In one of'his legs ,
but no credence was placed In II by those
who had Ht > en the horse. Dr. Rice gets
lo be u , stronger favorite ns the time of the
race draws "near , and from all that could'
be learned he did well yesterday , as hla
rider had his hands full to keep the colt
within bounds , when he went the distance
In 2:12. : Trainers nnd horsemen have the
race narrowed down to Sir Walter , Dr.
Rice. 'Clifford , Henry of Navarre , Banquet ,
9port and AJax. The horses are named
ibove In the order of their preference.
Sir Walter has the largest following , -but
Dr. Rice IB a close second to him.

LINCOLN , May H. ( Special to The nee.

synopsis of each decision :
1. There Is no stattito requiring the piy
incut of school district orders In the nrile
In which they are drawn.
2. A contract signed by two members o
the school district board , without a moellni
of which all members have had duo notice

4 Neb. 254 , and 13 Nob. 70.
3. When a board employs a man to tcncl
the school ho has no right , except by th
consent ot the board , to put a substitute 1 :
his place , and not even with the consent o
the board , unless such substitute Is ti legal ) ;

4. The minimum amount of school requlrci
must bo taught by a legally qualified tcachc
In order to entitle the district to Its shan
In the state apportionment ,
5. In connection with the new nltomtnnci
law It Is held that children have frco sclioo
privileges In one school district only at oni
time. If they elect under the new act t <
attend outside of their own district the ]
carry their share of the state funds' will
them and forfeit for that school year al
their rights to frco school privileges In theli
own district. They may not , under this act
alternate between two districts and claln
rights In both.
C. The Nebraska statute authorizes the
drawing of Interests upon "all warrants
Issued by the proper authorities of the
state , county , city , town or other municipal
subdivisions less than a county. " Out the
supreme cuurt has held that the school dis
trict "Is not strictly a municipality , " and
that school district officers are not municipal
ofllcers , thus making It clear that the statute
doe * not authorize the payment of Interest
on school district orders.
7. The action of the voters at an an
nual meeting as to the amount of school
to bo held the coming year Is final , and may
not be reconsidered at a special meeting.
The board should make provision for the
holding of school in accordance with said
action , but In case the voters at said meet
ing fall to make provision for carrying on
said amount of school , and there Is no dis
trict money for this purpose , the board Is
not personally liable for any loss of state
apportionment which may result to the dis
trict because of failure to hold the required
minimum amount of school. In case such
loss occurs because of neglect upon the part
of the district board the members of the
board become personally liable to the dis
trict for the amount of said losi.
8. In measuring a district under the pro
visions of the new attendance law the meas
urements should follow air lines , not sec
tion lines necessarily.
9. The district text books are In the care
of the district board the same as other
school district property , and are subject to
the regulations of the board as to their use
by the pupils at homo and during vacations.
10. In regard to the disposition of a name
which appears upon a petition for change of
school district boundary , when the , person
BO named has changed Ills mind and docs not
wish to appear upon the petition or remon
strance , It is hold that the pe"rson has entire
right to remove or give authority for the re
moval of his name from the petition. It
Is held that all Interested parties shall have
ample opportunity to express their wishes
In this matter at any time previous to the
taking of action upon the petition.

FREMONT , Neb. , May 14. ( Special to The
Bee. ) There were three runaways In Fre
mont yesterday afternoon. A horse driven
by County School Superintendent J. A. Col-
llns opened the ball by dumping Mrs. Collins
and son , who were riding with the professor ,
over a barbed wlro fence Into a vacant lot ,
and then hurled the buggy and the professor
at breakneck speed around the streets for an
hour or so. A few slight cuts received by
the wife and boy as they went over the
fence and the general demolishing of the
buggy was all the damage done.
Soon after this a horse belonging to Charles
nenglcr started with an empty buggy on
Sixth street nnd ran down Main street and
back to the park , where It ran Into a car
riage In which were seated Mrs. Larson and
three children. A slight scalp wound on one
of the children nnd tht > smashing of both
the carriage and buggy was the only damage
done.
A spirited team belonging to C. Helm tore
up Broad street In the evening , nnd , after
making several corners In a graceful manner ,
succeeded In kicking themselves clear from
what was left of the carriage. Considering
the largo number of people nnd teams on
the streets , It seems miraculous that no
one should bo seriously hurt.

FALLS CITY , Neb. , May II. Charles Hal-
lor , a farmer near Barada , shot and killed
a man named Curtis at an early hour yes-
ierday morning. Haller was watching by
.lio bedside of a sick daughter , when ho
tieard somebody try the kitchen door. As
thcro had been many thefts In the nelghbor-
lood , Haller took his shotgun and went out.
Seeing n man walking rapidly away from
.lie house toward the road ho followed after.
When close to the road the man apparently
disappeared. Seeing a dark object under a
tree Haller ordered It to get up. It proved
to bo " grain sack full of clothing , but a
mor. got up out of a deep ditch , and to
Hallor's demand ns to what his business
was there gave the response , "None of your
business. " Haller then ordered him to move
on. Ho responded with an oath and ad
vanced on Haller , who warned him to keep
back or he would shoot him.
This did not stop him , but saying. "I can
cut your heart out twice while you shoot
once , " kept on advancing , and when almost
to the muzzle ot the gun Haller tired. The
load took effect In the upper part ot the
breast and killed the man almost Instantly.
Hallcr Immediately came to town and noti
fied Sheriff Fergus and Coroner Slavers.
"When they arrived on the ground Sherlft
Fergus recognized the dead man as a pris
oner ho had released from Jail Monday noon.
Ho had served a term for a small theft com
mitted near Dawson. Ho was a half-witted
sort of a fellow who ought to have been
confined In the asylum. Ho had no weapons
pens of any kind on his person. An old
case knlfo was In the grain sack and ho was
not dangerous at all , but the community
thinks Hallcr blameless In the matter.
