In 'answr to. a query tho mayor ex
plained that tho list of names was taken
from the present pay roll of the lire de
partment. The name, of the flrtt assistant
chief had not been inserted, becauio It
was thought proper to leave his selection
to Chief Salter.
Mount moved that tho appointments be
npproved nnd confirmed.
' Burkley and Lobeck objected s.andlng for
a postponement nf action. Both spoke to
thin effept. Burkley said- that In entering
upon this. nc,v duty of nppolntment the
council nn.l mayor wero assuming a great
responsibility, Inlo which ho did not pro
pose, to plunge headlong. He wanted time
to Investigate It. "
. Lohcck 3ald that he didn't know whether
tho list aa read was a satisfactory one or
not. He thought lie had heard one man's
name icad out who had been In disrepute
with four different captains, although ho
wasn't sure. So he wanted time to look It
over. But that wasn't his chief objection.
Ho. wanted to see Itedell get a hearing and
a fair show, He moved a call of the house,
which would ha'vo prevented action, White
horn being In Kansas City.
Tho motion for a cnll of the houso wais
lost by 6 to 2, Burkley and Lobeck voting
nyo The original motion to confirm then
eamo lip, nnd almost every man of the
eight prc'scut explained his" vote In a
sp.ccch. Every speech was answered and
then defended' three or four times and the
war of words grew hot at times.
Hnm'nlt i:iiliiliin n Point.
"Mr, Burkley," called tho clerk, and the
Klghth warder askdd to be excuted on his
former ttatcmcnt a to his position. This
request the council granted. But Mr. Has
call arose and- Informed Burkley that tho
ndvanlngo of taking tho course proposed
Immediately was that tho entire question
would thereby be put squnrcly before tho
courts. He did not Know whether tho
prfsent firemen, as then holding their po
sitions by appointment of the board, were
legally Installed or not.
"Well, they draw talarier. don't they?"
queried Burkley.
"Yea, but so did some of tho numerous
police. Judges while they performed the
dutlea."
Mr. Hoyo was nevt. and he was also
Impressed with the seriousness nf tho mat
ter. Ho said that the perilous conditions
oxlsllng should bo met, nnd at once, nnd
that this, was 'the way to do It. It would
facilltnto tho supreme court's action. Then.
too, when such opon discord exists between
the flro chief and his men tho lives and
property of Omnhnns were In danger con
stantly. He .vot.edvto confirm.

tMr. Zlmruan said that there wero always

serious results,. ' Ho 'did not bellevo In

e.ver, that ho didn't wh to vote against

Mr. Lobcek then hod au Innlns. He said:
"I bave no objection to a sIdrIo raato named
by tho mayor for fireman, but I bellevo that

Hut Lobcek Insisted that It amounted to
tho samo thing, nnd ho said further that
ono of tho mcmberi,. o( the Hoard of I'ollce
and Flro Commissioners had asked him as
a councilman that very day to give Hedeii
t. hearing, and that was what he was stand
luif fur.
"I wouldn't vote against any one without
a full and fair hearing." said Lobeck.
"Why, people tried to set mo to go iuto
ImneuchmenL nroccedlngs against, tnc-
mayor, but I wouldn't."
Mr. Ilascall said that I.obcck was en
tlrely olf the question; that there was no
.removal of any ofllccr Involved or con
temnlateil.
"We'd all bo nealnst that," he said.
"but there's nothing like that In this ense
and I don't believe In having a councilman
go away outside of the case here to, make
excuses for his action. I suppose he U
dblng 11 for tho benefit of tho repdrter3,
to try to show that we nre unseating a
chief. We're doing nothing of the sort."
I.obcck resented the slap at once. "I
haven't questioned tho motives of the Ren
tletnnn from tho First." he said. "That's
his business. I know mine."
tly that time Mr. Zlmman had conceived
a new conception of the affair. He de
manded an explanation of what that ap
proval would mean. Mr. Hascall gave It
to nlm In full.
"Do I understand." then said Zlraman,
"that If wo confirm these appointments Mr.
Itcdell will be left out entirely, without so
much as n mention or a discussion?"
"That's It "
"Well, then I vote no."
Trostler and Mount voted aye without

Tho chair stated that the appointments
stood confirmed and the council then turned
its attention to tho consideration of some
new ordinances. Two of these related more
or less directly to the business just con
cluded. Tho first was an ordinance pro
viding for the removnl from olTUe of any
city official, either elected or appointed,
for misconduct, Incompetency or malfeas
ance. This also provides for the repealing
of section 14 of tho present ordinance nnd
all other portions which relate, to such a
law. This was read In full the first time.
nnd thereon hangs the tale of a little-clash
between Mount and Lobeck. The latter In
sisted that the whole ordinance be read.
Mount, said that he didn't seo nny use In
keeping the council there'' so late and tak:ng
Its time to hear n long rending just to
appcaso tho wounded feelings nnd ruffled
pride of ono member. Ho said that tho
ordinance wns going to the proper commit
tee, anyway, and that Lobeck could hear
It read there as well as not. After more
words of this nature the whole thing wns
finally read, as Lobeck desired, and then
It was read a second time by title and
sent along to the committee.
Next came an ordinance placing the salary
of tiro chlof at $2,000 a year and of as
sistant chief nt $1,500. This was also read
twice and referred. Tho last buslnes3 of
tho meeting was tho similar treatment of a
new ordinance amending fcctlon 2. chapter
- nf the ordinances In relation to animals
running at large, providing restrictions,
penalties, etc.
At fl:30 tho aldermen had adjourned as
a board of equalization arid Immediately
convened again In executive session. After
Just half an hour of debate, as, detailed,
tho order of Mayor Moores y.-ns approved
and tho appointments confirmed.' Fifteen
minutes later tho mayor'i ultimatum to
Mr. Hedell and his notification to Mr.
Salter wero drawn up and shortly there
after wero served on tho two firemen by

In rastloc; up his accounts at the age of
7S years. Moses Jloblne of this city, who has
Just been discharged from the government
penitentiary at Sioux Falls, announces that
over forty yenrs of his life have been
paased In prison. He was released from the
expiation of his latest sentence some time
during the current week and declared his
intention of coming to Omnha" to spend the
remainder of his limited term of life in an
effort to live. an honorable and upright
life.
. tt was a three years' term which the old
man has just Ilnlahed anil was founded upon
a conviction In .the federaL court here for
making, selling. utterlJg and having In hla
possession counterfeits of tho sliver dollar,
Although to all appearances this old-tlmo
outlaw has had ono foot In the gravo fof
A number of years, It Is a matter of more
or less vivid recollection to at IimsI ono
of the nttaches of the local secrot service
bureau that ho was up to a little over two
years and n half ago a mighty rugged and
wiry piece of decaying timber.
Moses Hobtnc Is the name by which he
was known In Omaha. He has made this
city his headquarters for many years. Ho
has told some of tho olllcers with whom ho
camo In contact that he had been engaged
In counterfeiting for about sixty years. It
is known that he Is u veteran of two wars,
as ho Is a pensioner of the .Mexican nnd
civil wars. His story Is that Just after, or
Just before tl.o Mexican wnr, while he was
still a minor, he went to work for n
Jeweler nnd learned to mako tho dies In
which Jewelry was molded. He became an
expert nt the trade and soon drifted Into
the making of dies for molding coins, In
which ho has ever since conducted an In
dustrlous and at times profitable business.
Ilomnn Kihima Him,
Henry Homan. deputy United Stales mar-
shnl, says that Koblne Is one of the mest
expert dlcmakcrs In the country. Ills count
erfeit coins were always plated, and tho
milling-upon the edges was more expertly
done than that upon counterfeit coins man
ufnetured by any other expert In the busl
ness. Robtne's talent Is said to have always
been directed to tho making of counterfeits
of metal money nnd he never assayed the
counterfeiting of bills. During the earlier
years of his manhood, according to his com
mon repute, he was frequently the head and
moving spirit of nggrecatlono of successful
counterfeiters who caused the government
secret service agents a great deal of on
noynnce. When old age came upon him ho
settled down In Omnha with his family and
contented himself with turning a trick now
and then for small sums, making counter
felts and selling tho products of his forbid
den Industry to others to bo put Into cir
culation by them.
Slippery n nn Kel.
For a long tlmo the tcert service oil!
cers hero were cognizant of tho fact that
lloblne was turning out counterfeit money
Ho was several times nrrestcd, but the
crafty old fellow always managed to elude
conviction. He was before tho late Judge
Dundy several times, but tho evldenqe was
not sufficient to justify conviction. The off!
cers could never unearth his kit or"cafh
him with the counterfoil upon his person
At one time ho was arrested with some of
It In his pocket, but he succeeded In get
ting rid of It by throwing It upon the
ground.
In October, 1S0S, while Detective Donella
was chief of tho local government secret
service bureau, a trap was set for Roblne
and, sly as he was, ho fell Into It. David
H. Schumann, ono of Donella's aids, sue
cecded In gaining the old man's confidence
and frequently bought counterfeits from
him. The old man would arrange to meet
Schumann at some point on tho streets to
deliver the metal nnd exasperated Donella
somewhat by the dexterity with which he
effected tho delivery before ho could bo
caught with the queer In his possession, for
before Schumann's aids could come up Ro
blno would thrust tho counterfeit Into
Schumann's hands and bo off.
Hut Donolla persovcrcd with the determi
nation to take tho old culprit with the stuff
In his clothes, and accordingly on tho 2Uth
day of October, 1S0S. Schumnnn arranged to
meet Roblne In front of the Drexcl shoe
store and take some moro of bis stuff. The
old man wns on hand promptly. They
walked around to Fifteenth street nnd then
eastward upon Harney, with Donella and
Homan closo In the rear. Schumann had
received Instructions to stand with his
hands in his ovorcoat pockets when Roblne
olfered to deliver he money nnd at the
proper moment they would rush up and grab
htm.
Accordingly, when Roblno and Schumann
stopped to dUcuss the business which
nrougnt tnom mere, uoneiia rushed up
and grabbed Rohlnn's arm to keep him
from going Into his pockets after their
contents. Tho plan was for Schumann to
start and run away and Homan wns to
give temporary chase, returning at once
unsuccessful to help take care of Roblne
The pretense was ludicrously spoiled by
Schumann, who slipped and fell down, and
when Homan hung back, old man Roblne
yelled at him lustily, "Why don't you
catch him?"
I'lKhtN l.lUe n 'finer.
'I'm a protty husky man," said Homan
In recalling the arrest, "but I want to
tell you that when Donella told me to take
hold of one of Roblne's hands nnd keep
It away from his pockets, I had nil I could
do, and finally had to ask Donella to pinch
him. That old greyheaded sinner fought
like a tiger and was as stout as n bull
Finally we got him to the old postolllce
building. All tho way ho had been trying
to got his hand up to his vest pockets on
tho prctenso thnt ho wented to put away
his pipe, which he carried In his fingers
when he was arretted. Wo threw him
down upon a table and found In his vest
pockot a number of tho counterfeit dollars.
Tho old man raged and cursed us roundly,
declaring that he supposed we were satis
lied as we had finally ROt him."
A. J. Sawyer of Lincoln, who was then
United States district attorney, prosecuted
Roblne. nnd he was convicted on half a
dozen count, showing that he had de
livered counterfeit money to Schumann on
three different occasions within a period
of ten days. His home on Sixteenth street,
Just south of Vinton, was raided and his
working outfit was captured. January 10,
1S90, he was sentenced by Judge Munger
to pay $100 tine, the costs of prosecution
nnd to serve three years In the peniten
tiary. Will Live ultli Itelntlt ph.
It Is because he has relatives in Omaha
that the old man has selected this city as
tho placo to which he will carry out hla
proposed reformation. He has always de
clined to discuss hH history with repre
sentatives of the, press when he know them
to be such, but ho has talked glibly enough
with others In detailing his career of wick
ednefs, nnd. In fact, It Is from his own
lips that the authorities have obtained
whatever Is known concerning his past

Adams U Inclined to take Roblne's story
with A grain of -allowance, ami when It
was suggested to him that the old ma.t
was one of the big counterfeiters, simply
remarked that there had been counter
feiters who would not have been caught
