OAVESAFEBtOWER WARWICK Ead Van Located and Lauded in Jail by Special Officers , PINKERTONS RUN DOWN A BANK BURGLAR Brotlier-ln-l , w of Denver Frcncliy , Who Itohhed the llocln * Hank U Caiiitlit nt South Omaha by Detective * . Clinton W. Warwick to a prisoner at the city Jail. After a sensational chase over half of Nebraska by detectives ho was run to cover In South Omaha about G:30 : a. m. yesterday , anJ captured without trouble. Warwick 1) a notorious bank robber , snfe- cruckcr and all 'round desperado with a list of atlases that Includes Otto Warwick , Thomas Jones , George Wilson , Thomas Ortho nnd J. D. Attwork. Under this last alias ho la registered as a prisoner here. On October E , 1S97 , during the night , the safe In the Howard County bank at Boleus , Neb. , was blown and robbed of $1,300 In cash. The burglars effected an entrance into the bank by forcing a rear door and broke open the safe with a stick of dyna mite. The Howard County bank was Insured against burglarcs In the Bankers' Mutual Casualty company of DCS Molnes , la. , to which Institution the crlmo was Immedi ately communicated. The company brought the PInkerton agency Into the case and P. H. Tlllotson , assistant superintendent of the latter's Kansas City branch , began a search for the robbers. On December 26 last Su perintendent Tlllotson arrested Otis Anse- Itn In Karmas City as one of the robbers. Ho was taken back to Howard county , Ne braska , where ho pleaded guilty to being a party to the robbery at Boelus. and with the understanding that ho would divulge to the authorities the Identity of his partner In the Job , he was sentenced to the peni tentiary at Lincoln for three and one-half years , which term he Is now serving. Ansclen said that his only partner In the robbery was Warwick , and Immediately Detective Tlllotson began to look for hla man. Llttlo of the stolen money was found In the possession of Ansclen , who gave out the additional Information that Warwick hau a greater part of the money In hie possession. But the robber who was still at largo wad BO llttlo known to the police that It proved a hard task for the detective to locate him , although It developed finally that through marriage he was related to a family In Lin coln , where he made his permanent home. WARWICK LOCATED. Last Wednesday Tlllotsom went to Lincoln again , having learned definitely that his man was In hiding there. Tlllotson learned thnt Warwick was stopping with his wife nnd child at the home of Mrs. Warwick's par ents , the Fedawaja , who reside on the out skirts of the city , at the comer of Forty- third and Vine streets. He nlX ) discovered that Warwick and a notorious Lincoln char acter known as "Frenchy , " who Is serving a term of seven years In the penitentiary at the Capital City , were brothers-in-law , having married the Fcdaway sisters. He recontioltercd the house and found that It was located on a waste of ground In a posi tion that would gtvo the Inhabitants a clear view of all approaches for more than halt a mile. That Warwick was In hiding there he had positive Information , and yet that If ho attempted to vJflW.7u"e house the T'Cluiu 'JAt ! ' .vanning In time to get and possibly make good Ills escape. Not desiring to risk this , the detective de termined to devise some other plcu to make the capture. While at bis hotel Thursday Special Agent De Long of the Missouri Pacific Kail- road company , who was In the city on busi l- ness , called on him. This woe timely for the success of the PInkerton man's expedi tion , and enlisting the services ot Detect ive Do Long ho decided to make certain that Warwick did not leave the city. Last night De Long was eent out to the sta tion at Peck's Drove , near which to located the Fcdaway residence , about tbo time la castbouad Missouri Pacific pascenger in was due. TRYING TO GET AWAT. De Long had been at the station but a few minutes \\hcn the train arrived , and about the same- time he saw Warwick's wlfo and child leave the Fcdaway resi dence and start with valises In their bands for the station. He naturally concluded that Warwick had discovered that officers were hot on his troll and was attempting to get away with bis family. The train pulled out , bearing away oa passengers Mrs. War wick and child ; also Detective Do Long. He had not had time to communicate with , Tlllotson then , but trusted to luck for a chance to telegraph develop ments at some elation along tbo line. iAs the train was speeding over the coun try through a deep cut about flve miles this sldo of Peck's Grove , at a rate of about twenty-five miles an hour , a man at the risk of his llfo swung upou the platform of the rear coach and passing through tbe train took a seat in the coach occupied by Mrs. Warwick and the child. It was Warwick. Presently ho moved across the aisle and sat down by the side of his wife. Dotcctlvn Do Long was "planted" la another scat near by. The trip to Union was without particular Incident. Warwick conversed with his wlfo ( but llttlo and then only In monosyllables. At Union the train was held four hours. The Warwlcks alighted and went tb a hotnl near the depot. The detective then learnej ! that they were ticketed to Omaha , and sat isfying himself that they bad no Intention of abandoning their original destination , hem telegraphed to Tiltotson at Lincoln Inform - ing him of developments. my As good fortune would have It , tbe lay over of the Missouri Pacific train at Union . gave Detective Tlllotson an opportunity to catch a B. & M. fast train and arrive In Omaha before the other train reached here. CAUGHT EASILY. When the Missouri Pacific train continued on its Journey the Warwlcks , under cover of De Long , were again among the porscn- ; gers , although this time Instead or staying with lib wife Warwick crouched In a seat in the smoking car. At Weeping Water De Long telegraphed ta the police hero and in South Omaha to have ofllcers at the depot in the tatter place to meet the train. Ho also sent a message to the officials In.of the Missouri Pacific asking them to place at the disposal of the Omaha police a spe cial train so that ( hero would bo no mls- tako' about their getting to South Omaha i In time. In the meantime Tlllotson , ac companied by Detectives Savage and Uenip- ey , had already departed for South Omaha.

SucccHNfnL Rnlilft on 1'rlvnte Property by MlilnlRht Murnmlern. During the last month burglars have been plying tbclr calling with a high band In the residence block on Chicago otre t be- ginning with Twenty-fifth. In that lime. tour robberies have taken place. They a'l have been reported promptly to the po'ilcc department , but In accordance with the pol Icy of suppression which Chief Gallagher hot Inaugurated to cover up tdo Inefficiencies eld ot the police they have been burd ! from public notice. Last Wednesday night Mrn John QtoVeJ , a widow , rcaldlng at 253G Chicago s'reet ' with two daughters , accompanied by .he latter torte , went to the homo of a neighbor to spend tdo evening. Before leaving Inp the house she made fi'iro that all ofbee the windows and doors were secured , because on former occasions she had been troubled with burglars. Returning home about 9:30 : o'clock , she found that a lower front window was open. Entering Iho house she discovered that robbers had again visited the premises. The beds in two of the sleep , tug apartments had been overturned and the mattresses Bad linen were scattered la con fusion over the floors. Tables and chairs lay overturned In the other rooms and la Uiwa kitchen everything was confusion. There was not a s'nglo piece of furniture In this room that was not cither overturned or out ofml its customary place. Nothing wcs missed as a result of this visitation and the fact that the kitchen door was wide open satisfies Mrs. Groves that the burglars must have been frightened away before they could gel together any property to carry off. About a month ago Mrs. Groves' premises we visited by burglars. In a barn la the re ; of the lot were then stored the house- liould effects of Mrs. William Smith , who Is living In a boarding house on Davenport street. Thieves broke Into the stable one night aud carried off two fine carpets , all ot the Hnon and other furniture for the house which Mrs. Smith had stored. They also carried away all ot the clothing which belonged to the deceased husband of Mrs. Groves , as well as other property of value which was also stored in the barn. Several times dur ing the last two weeks Indications of night prowlers about the premises have been re vealed In different ways to Mrs. Groves and her daughters , and in eplte of the fact that the police have been asked to put an end to this marauding , the women feel that they are unprotected against the ravages of rob bers almost any time. John Fife resides Just a few doors below the homo of Mrs. Groves , at 2526 Chicago street. Thieves broke Into the barn in the rear of his home several nights ago and carried off property valued at about $100. They also attempted to get Into the house at a door in the rear , but were frightened away by the. barking of a neighbor's watch- dog.A . A side window at the hey * > , , c > r. . .

Claus Oft and Peter Mangold live at Ben- ttlngton. 'Both ' are politicians of the precinct In which they reside , and In addition to being a politician , Mangold Is a banker and Is wealthy. Last fall they were not working In harmony during the political campaign , and . their differences culminated on October 8 ' the day of the hold log of the republican primaries. The voting was going on In a vacant store building , anl during its progress Oft and Mangold came together. The former was standing upon a bench and was ex pressing his views upon the subject of the campaign. They were not in ac cord with those of Mangold and a row followed , during which Oft was dragged to the floor and trampled upon. When ho came out of the melee It wa wlth a badly bruised face and a broken leg. Ho attributed ' . ! of his injuries to the action of Mang-ld and soon thereafter Instituted a $25,000 dau- age suit. In due time the case got upon the docket and was called for irlal during the early part of the present week. The people in the vicinity of BennliiRton took sides and came down as witnesses. On the stand they expressed their views an.l then the whole matter was turned over to the jury. The twelve men deliberated and re turned a verdict as stated.

Upon LiiHt ( Act In the Great Ilixiiii Speculation. . . _ * " " i' is n."cToarIng house for artles holding Judgments and claims gainst the county of Douglas , arising by eason of the sale of lots In Douglas addl- on , and the officials , Chairman Klerstead of i 10 Board of County Commissioners , County lerk Haverly , Clerk of the Courts Frank ! - ml County Treasurer Helmrod are acting n the capacity of clearing house ofllciajs. hrough thcso officials the county Is pay- ng off | 107,9C7.42 in Judgments and $82- 18.85 of proven , claims. The money .to pay lie claims comes from the sale ot the $1SO , > - 30 of poor farm funding bonds , sold to ho state. Shortly after the offices In the court house pencd for business Clerk of the Courts Frank proceeded to the office of County Clerk Haverly , where , as nn official of the county , he receipted for the warrants Issued In payment of the Judgments. These ho con- eyed to his own office and ot once com menced the work of cancelling the Judg ments which the warrants were Intended to ! quldate. As fast as holders of Judgments they signed the dockets and then voro given their warrants. These warrants vero then taken to the office of County treasurer Helmrod , where they were paid , lost of the Judgments were paid during the , lay and most of them were paid to Charles D. Keller , who was instrumental in bringing ho majority of the suits against tbo county. The first flaw In tbe title to the Douglas addition was discovered by Charles D. Kel- ler , who with George W , Doano waa the owner ot a number of the lots. After - ing this discovery he brought a largo number of suits for parties who had here- ofore bought lots. It Is said by the com missioners that Keller's fees fcr bringing J he sulta and carrying them through "the courts will amount to about $3.,000. Most of the suits are said to dave been taken upon a contingent fee. Some of the judgments ng.Unst the county are held by outside partlea who have never assigned them for collesdon. The money to pay these Judgments will be held by the county clerk until called for. Interest on > . .hem , however , will stop , as there Is money : o pay them off and if the interested rr - Io3 do not call the county commissioners will not feel that the rouniy Is Ma Die. Regarding the claims that are not In Judg , ment , tbe warrants are Issued direct from the office of the county chrk , where tbe claimants receipt for the wirrai'a and then take them to the county treasurer far pay- aient. . While the county Is paying out a large cum of money , at the eamo time It Is receiving . something In return , as all of the clalmsrts are required to pay up al : ba > 'k taxes before [ hey receive the proceeds of the warrants. [ n some Instances these payments aggregate aulte en amount , as there arc uoao taxes running back several years. The county commissioners figure that they will have abundant funds to pay all of the judgments and tlio proven claims and that 'hero ' will be a surplus. This pum , what ever It may be , will , after payments are made , bo transferred to ttie county general fund and used In paying liabilities of tbo countv. - The unproved claims against the poor farm account will aggregate something like $6,000 , and while there Is only about $3,000 on hand with which to meet these demands , they will bo paid ta > due time. The county taxes become - como delinquent May 1 , and between now nnd then the tax receipts will be very heavy , - sufficiently > that the mcney coming In from the poor farm levy will bo enough to take care of every outstanding claim against this account. At this time the coramUslonem figure that by June 1 every dollar of debt arising out of the sale of tbe poor farm ealo ot lots will be paid off. A llttlo boy asked for a bottle of "get up in the morning as fast as you can , " the druzclst recognized a household name for "DoWttt's Llttlo Early Risers , " and gave him a bottle ot those famous little pills for constipation , sick headache , liver and stomach ach troubles.
