SKIN GAMES AND THE GANG
Failure to "Fix" Eomebady Cantos the
Proprietor * Trouble.
TWO OF THE OPERATORS ARE ARRESTED
BuhlcrfiiKC of the Chief of Police
by Which the Ilrnl Motive for
the Action ! Concealed ,
from the 1'nlillc. ,
' Mie arrest of Burns and Dwyer , two base
'jail gambling operators , Wednesday , on pre
tense that they were wanted at Nashville
becomes more mysterious the more It la In
vestigated. H turns out that these men
bave been openly running a gambling garnoj
In Omaha on Sixteenth street with the
knowledge of the police for several weeks ,
not as boosters , as given out by the police ,
but as part proprietors. When the police
yesterday wired to Nashville that the men
vo.-o In custody , the answer came promptly
that they were not wanted there and had not
been wanted. Instead of releasing them ,
IIOWOMT , Chief Gallagher ordered a charge
, ofagrancy placed against them , and they
finally got out on bonds.
It appears that the arrest Is only a parti
played by the police In a scheme of mem-
ben of the gamblers' gang to force thcm-
selves Into the game run by Hums andj 1
I > wyer. One of the gang Is said to have
made a demand last .Saturday for a share
In a deal and on refusal threatened to have
the place pulIcJ. The game was , therefore ,
shutdown Monday , but reopened again In
the evening , on assurance from the middle
man that everything had been fixed. The
arrests Wednesday ore taken to mean that
things need fixing again. ,
The strange part of the proccsdlng Is that'
the third partner in the Sixteenth street1
gambling game has not bcvn molested , although -
though he has been looking after his nmo-l
elates at the jail , and that while his game
was claseJ down , another precisely similar
on Douglas street has been allowed to run
fight' along. i
Chief Gallagher In this Instance os In the
case of the automatic gambling machine Is
pretending to hide behind the city license
take.i out by tic gamblers. License Inspector
specter McVlttle Bays he allowed the Usuo
of a license from week to week on represent
ation that the sehomo contained no element
of chance , but has had the license refused
since his attention was called to the fact
that It was a skin game gambling device.
More of the machines , however , have been
interfered with by the police , and the own
ers express confidence In being able to keep
ageing as soon as the present trouble h sn-
isfactorlly adjusted.

AT THE HOTELS.
ni i lib nw i i uw * c
Ben T. Hoffman of Terre Haute , Is In the
city. Ho Is chairman of the hotel commlt'oo
, the Travelers' Protective association of
I North America. Yc terday bo visited the
! exposition grounds , and this is the way ho
. talked when he got back :
[ "Have I visited the exposition gr&unds ?
Well , I guess I have and I want to say
right 'here that as I stood on the viaduct
over that street , I guepa they call It Sher
man avenue , I was filled with wonder and
surprise. I had been Informed that the
Tra..smlsilsstppt Exposition was to bo a big
thing , but J bad no Idea of its magnitude ,
' Why do you know , It Is almost as big as the
World's fair ? The Atlanta , the California
-.and ' the Nashville expositions can't be compared -
pared with it any more than you can com-
pare- 10-cent circus with one of those big ,
five-ring affairs. It Is simply grand , superb ,
magnificent with all of the superlative adcl
Jetlves attached. ,
"Speaking seriously , the Transmlsslsslppl
I Exposition bids fair to be the greatest show
of the century. The bull lings nre finer than
.those at the World's fair. Of course they
are not so large , but the * style of archltect-
ure and conveniences are better In very
many respects. And then the amunemcnt
features. It seems as though the exposition
management has secured about everything
worth having. Where they came from I
can't say , but they arc here.
"Our convention lasts only four days , but
It Is safe to say that many of our boys will
stay longer , for they will want to see the
exposition and they can't do It during the
four days of the convention , as most of that
time will bo taken up with the transaction
of business , which must be dlspo'ej of be
fore wo begin on our round of pleasure. "

After a brief interval to allow the fame of
their ill deeds to die out highwaymen broke
out again last eight in one of the best resi
dent portions of the city. The attempt WHS
made on motor train No. 6 , In charge of
Conductor Jack Matthews and Motorman
Cat Elklns , and the bandits secured between
{ 25 and $26. The occurrence took place at
11:20 : o'clock at Thirty-second and Dorcas
streets.
The train bad passed along the west side
ol Ilanscom park and reached the southern
terminus a little behind time. Consequently
the conductor's echedulo ehoued that he
only had one minute to lay over. The cars
were safety reversed and were ready for the
return trip. The conductor entered the car
and seated himself to enjoy his minute In
relaxation , where he was joined by the
motorman , who occupied himself In wringing
the water from his dripping glovee. The men
were engaged In a conversation regarding
the probable oncoming hostilities , when the
door at clthon end of the car suddenly
opened. No Jar of any one mounting the
platform was heard und the dcaa were
thrown back In an equally careful manner.
Two men entered the car , each armed with
a revolver. The taller of the two covered
Matthews and said tersely : "Put 'cm up. "
Matthcwo did not at once obey and the com
mand came twice In quick succession. Then
iMatthews yielded and In company with El-
kins followed Instructions and held up his
The taller bandit still threatened the train
crew with his weapon while his aggressive
companion made a thorough search of their
clothes. From the conductor's side pocket
the robber took the proceeds of the night's
business , amounting to $21.45. From his
rjtrouser's ] pockets he also secured $3 or $ C
I of Matthews' own money. Ho then trans-
ferred the search to the motorman , who was
enveloped la canvas and rubber to ward off
Blklns carried In his upper vest pocket.
When the work was done the man on guard
did not appear to bo satisfied1 with Its thor
oughness and made a search on his own ac
couat while the other turned jailer. Noth
ing was brought to light , however , except a
dlmo which the robber carelessly dropped i
on the floor and then as an exhibition of cool
ness recovered it in a painstaking way by
removing the slata from the floor.
BEAT A HETREAT.
This operation concluded the bandit made
his sccor.d tesse utterance and directed Mio
conductor to "Drlvo on. " Ho stood besHo
the platform with extended weapon , whl'e
the conductor gave two bells anI : started the
car. At the distance of 100 feet Matthews
looked back and saw the man lower his revolver - ,
volver nnd dash along Dorcas street on tho' | ' .
south side of the park. He had been pre-j
ceJeJ by his companion and toad apparently *
waited to cover hU retreat. The men dis
appeared among the trees and brush and arc
thought to have entered tCio park at the
south entrance. It was raining at the time
and the street was In a heavy shade. No
'houses ' nre within easy earshot and the spot
was perfectly adapted to the robbers' , pur- ,
pose. |
Matthews put In the five minutes of the
strangers' call in a careful survey of their
persons , and Is quite sure ho would recog-
nlze them on second sight. They were both
young men of sturdy build , he says , and of
rather prosperous appearance. Handker
chiefs wore bound across their faces jtat be ,
low the eyes nnd the folds fell below their
chins , so that the observer could form little
Idea of any feature except the eyes and
forehead. Their eyes were dark In both
cases and the mea were about five feet eight {
Inches and five feet ten inches In height.
Tttey wore dark black derby hats and were
attired In dark clothes.
The descriptions were given to detectives
and men have beeen assigned to the ca .o with
no results. They have little to work upon ! J
except the fact that the money secured was
largely In nickels and that the description .
furnished by Matthews was an excellent one. I
The crew were both old and capable em-1 j
ployes and Matthews fesls his loss more'
heavily as ho has just returned to duty after :
a month off.

All day today and all day tomorrow the great
worsted suits at nine dollars and cloven dollars will
bo 011 sale. We don't expect they will bo sold out by
tomorrow night , but there is not so many altogether
and they may all go today and tomorrow , we can't
toll. In any case , if you are luoky enough to buy
one of these yon will have a suit to bo proud of and
a suit that will look fresh and good when many a
higher priced suit.bought today wilfbe too shabby
to carry around. These are pure worsted suits. They
are well worth twelve and iiftcen dollars instead
of nine and twelve , but as we told you yesterday wo
bought them under price and wo sell them to you
the same way. There are only three hundred all told.
The nine dollar suits comprise two handsome lines of
round cut packs and make splendid business suits ,
and the twelve dollar line is cut into fashionable walk
ing frocks for street or dress wear. The effects are
pin checks and small plaid weaves in the steel gray
colors now so fashionable , and if we do say so , they
are as handsome a lot of suits as you can buy in some
stores for a twenty dollar bill. The Nebraska knows
a good thing when it sees it and these are a specially
good thing. "
