L. B. Hind man decided not to run the
risk of a trial In Judge McPhersona court
at Council Rluffs after the motion made
by Ms attorney. Judge Ben S. Baker of
Omaha, submitted for a continuance upon
the ground that his "wife" In New York
City was dangerously 111 and yesterday
morning pleaded guilty like the rest of the
Mabray mtkers. A telegram from New
York stated that the man waa not married
at alt. With the fouother Mabrayltea he
will take his sentence 'next Tuesday.
With the conaent of District Attorney
Temple the case of Ben Marks waa con
tinued until the September term, and only
a few more of the Mabray cases await dis
position at this term. Wright, from Okla
homa, and C. F. Fhllpot of Los Angeles,
win be here for trial next week. A third
one is W. I. Crlder, who was arrested at
Los Angeles on Thursday and who an
nounced his willingness to start for Council
Bluffs at once. He will also face the court
next week.
Crlder'a arrest Is an Important one. He
la asserted to be the associate and friend
of Thlelman, and la charged .with miking
the man from Louisville, Ky who came
here with his attorney and located Thlel
man and another man, who then gave the
name of Alatead, at the Millard hotel In
Omaha. They were not held, however, for
the reason that the offense waa committed
in Iowa. Crlder la aald to be the man who
then went under the name of Alatead. Both
Thlelman and Crlder, It la believed, could
give some very Important testimony If
called upon, but as all of the mlkera are
pleading guilty, they will have no oppor
tunlty to do ao.
Fleas of guilty were taken and sentences
Imposed In five other criminal caaea yeater
dny morning. Ira Wright, a Des Molnea
youth, who admitted robbing a substation
postotflce there four different times, and

who confessed to robbing the military post
office and stealing $400 worth ef stamps,
were each given one year and a day In tha
Fort Leavenworth military prlaon.
W. J. Burriss, another Fort Dea Moines
man guilty of sending obscene postal cards
to a married woman, got four months In

Charleac T. Archer of Red Oak. was sen

Bellinger Building
Destroyed by Flames,
Loss Being Complete
Structure 'Used as Storehouse and
Apartments for Several Persons
Set on Fire.
The old Bellinger hospital, located at
Twenty-sixth street and Broadway, waa
totally destroyed by fire of undoubted In
cendiary origin at an early hour yesterday.
Seven tenants were burned out, $5,000 worth
of onions were destroyed and $4,000 worth
of other property consumed.
The building waa built by Dr. Fred
Bellinger In 1890 and waa used for a hos
pital and sanitarium for a number of years,
but finally ceaaed to be used. It remained
Idle for aeveral years and waa then ac
quired by W. T. Seaman, the veteran
Omaha -wagon dealer. He built several
shed additions to It and continued to oc
cupy It as a vehicle warehouse, aalea sta
tion and mlr shop until 1909, when be la
alleged to have sold It to a Missouri real
estate man for K00 acrea ef Missouri farm
land. The owner, Mr. Kifer, has leased It
for various purposes.
Five small families occupied a portion
of the second floor, which had been fitted
up for light houaekeeplng. .
Alderman Ellsworth and his brother had
about J.&OO bushels of onions stored there,
all crated and ready for shipment. The
remainder of the first floor was being con
verted Into a laundry by W. R. Kemp ac
Son, who had Installed about $l,S0O worth
of new machinery and expected to begin
Its operation on Monday.
The onions were roasted and ruined, but
part of the laundry machinery may have
some salvage In It. It was partially cov
ered by Insurance and the onions were
protected by a $5,000 risk.
The families were driven from their
rooms so hastily that they were unable
to save anything. They were: J. B.
Hodgson, Joseph Gould, Mrs. Krai?, Mrs.
Clara Schlll. Mrs. Lettle Bartlett and Mrs.
Kramer, the latter representing the owner
aa his agent. She was compelled to leave
a valuable gold watch and a diamond ring
n her room when the fire drove her out.
Both were found yesterday afternoon, the
diamond uninjured, but the watch ruined.
The main building was 80x60, exclusive of
sheds. It waa afire In all parts when the
firemen got the
shall hold Itself in readiness to break
camp and take the field as If for actual
wtxrfare within two hours. The order
caused much comment, for the particular
reason that It did not come In the general
maneuvers orders Issued ty General
Carter today, but from the aeat of the
government.
Fuch an order means a blanket,ten days'
rations, shelter tents, 203 rounds of am
munition, etc.
The order to be In readiness for opera
tions in the field, while It might be a
legitimate feature of maneuvers, Is not
taken In that sense.
Excepting the generals, to whom long
years have taught conservatism, every one
rejected the maneuver theory, but could
not explain where war was to be ex
pected. One officer of prominence said
today he hoped Mexico and the L'nited
States would not become embroiled.
"We could defeat Mexico and there
would be no lesson learned. The unthink
ing In congress would have another object
to point to, to show that we can depend
on the volunteers In an emergency. We
can after we have lost 73 per cent to teach
the remaining 25 per "tent, how to fight.
A strong lesson la needed. Japan or
Germany would serve preferably the
former, because of her geographical sit
uation. They are quite capable of at
tacking us, with their perfect preparedness,
whenever ready. We have spent ten days
In turmoil gathering a handful of men In
Texas. Ultimately we should triumph, but
the ultimate cost would be appalling. It
would be much cheaper, even In money, let
alone lives, to treble our force, than to
take such a lesson, considering the re
sultant pension rolls alone."
Officers cannot be quoted for publica
tion where criticism of superiors Is In
volved, .or to be Inferred, but the man who
made tjhe foregoing statement has a repu
tatlon which extends beyond the army.

Negro Who F.scaped Seriaaa Charge
Held oat Aaother.
The grand Jury In the district court
yesterday made its report and was dis
charged until May 1. Seven Indictments
were returned, but only two were made
public.
The most Important one was against Ar
thur Hays, the young negro porter who
was employed at the Grand hotel for two
weeks last September and fled after com
mitting a series of robberies, Including
e cash drawer, the firat
realising $40 and the last nearly $3X), and
the rifling of the cash boxes in the two
public telephone stations In the building,
from which he got about H. Hays wss
finally caught In Nashville. Tenn., last
January and brought here for trial. It
was then found that it was Impossible to
secure the necessary testimony connecting
him with the robherlea. and the best that
could be given him waa thirty days upon
his admission that he also stole a suit of
clothes at the hotel.
Hays got out of the county jail a week
or more ago and on "the afternoon of
March 14 he waa charged with assaulting
and robbing Mra. Will Spangler of her
handbag while she was walking across
the platform of he North went em depot to
take a train for her home near Farragut.
Ia. She was accompanied by her huaband
and Mrs.l C. W. Hood and all saw the
negro rudly Jostle Mrs. Spangler and tear
the little satchel from her with such force
that the handle waa left In her hand. The
purse contained a gold ring worth $14,
$5 bill, two $1 bills and some silver.
Hays was caught shortly after and fully
Identified by Mrs. Spangler and her friends.
An hour had elapsed, however, and he had
ditched the stuff. The Indictment charges
him with assault and robbery and his bond
waa fixed at $2,000. Hays came here last
fall after being dishonorably discharged
from a negro regiment In San Francisco
and after ho had served a prison term on
murder charge.
