said the explosion had awakened him at

lying awake when his telephone rang.
After accompanying the police officers
and firemen through the building, Zelgler
said he could not estimate the loss until
daylight, but that It would reach fiom

more. "We can t tell but that a vital part
of the building has been so changed by the !
shock that two or three times that amount

The first charge of dynamite wan placed
In the foot of tli arch on the south side.
The explosive had been placed between
two columns, widen are twenty-four incties
apart. Had It not been that the windows
and doors of the building were open, the
shock from the first explosion probably
would have rased the southwest corner of
the building. LArge steel beania and ateel
columns were curled aa though they were
wire, and massive stones were Jarred from
the base of two' of the columns.

Four contracting firms will stand heavy
losses by reason of the two explosions
which dismantled parts of the court house
Thursday night. They are Caldwell A
Draka, J. J. Hannlghan & Co., The Jonn
aon Electric company and Robert Carter
of the Galvanized Iron company.
The maze of twisted piping will all have
to be removed for many stories up, for
the pipes are torn out of place In some
places as high as the third and fourth
floors.
The piped conduits for ta electric light
ing are twisted In with the plumbing pipes,
and will also be a total loss, the Johnson
Klectrlc company holding the contract.
Several new partitions and floors wlll
have to be Installed by the Caldwell &
Drake people. With the reBt of the con
tractors, they are unable as yet to put any
definite estimate upon the amount of the
loss. Rach of the contractors will have to
stand responsible for his own work and It
will be equalised with some difficulty.
None of the foundations piers that bear
I th wolKht of the building were sufficiently
damaged to require rebuilding.
The contracting flm of .1. J. Hannlghen
& Co. Is probably a greater loser than
Caldwell Drake. Mr. Hannlrhen nlacas
his total loss at around 15,000. tils con-
iraci win tne county commissioners was
for the plumbing and healing and called
for $78,000. The plumbing was complete.
It waa placed within the wails. The plumb
Ing near the Harney street entrance, where
the first explosion occurred, waa damaged
the most. The pipes were twisted and
nent aa high up as the fourth floor. The
plumbing for four toilet rooms was com
pletely ruined. Tha beating venta of gal
vanlsed iron were blown out on the first
floor by the force of the pent-up air which
rushed through them from the sub-base
ment, where the explosive waa placed.
The loss that Caldwell A Drake will sus
tain la estimated by John tenser, archl
tect, ana superintendent Zeigler at be
tween 13,000 and S4.0U0, although they say
that It Is very difficult, owing to the state
that the construction waa In, to absolutely
put a figure on the loss. Caldwell at

FORTY DAYS FROM FINISH
Completion of Court Honse is Sue
First of May.
TIME OF CONTRACT IS ALMOST UP
Twenty Months for Erection and
Completion of the Bnlldlnsr by
Caldwell A Drake floon
to Find.
Work waa begun on the grading In the
summer of 1909. Caldwell & Drake took
over the site on the flnt of September
of that year and began their share of the
construction. The cornerstone was laid
that fall.
Soma Inkling as to how far behind the
construction Is can be gathered from the
fact that the work of placing the Inside
marble has Just begun and that the spe
cifications rail for t-.TT.OOO worth of labor on
that part of the work. Not over twenty
men, It Is estimated, can work on the
placing of the Inside marble at one time.
Figuring on that basis, It would place
the completion of the court house many
months away.
The contract with Caldwell A Drake re
quires that the building be finished within
twenty months after they were given the
site. Work on the building started In the
summer of 1909 and the site -waa turned
over to Caldwell ft Drake In September.
The twenty months will be up the first
of May In this year and the work. Is
far behind the schedule, with lHtle hope
of completion by that time. ' -
Tha contract calls for a forfeit ef $100
for every day over the limit of twenty
months that the building Is not finished.
Some delay In the construction of tha
building resulted early In the operations
from a series of difficulties with Iron
workers. All the labor employed upon the
building waa union labor with the excep
tlon of the Iron workers.
"Caldwell A Drake have never employed
any union labor for the Iron work since
some trouble they had with a union In a
building at Louisville, Ky., about five
years ago," said Calvin Zelgler, superin
tendent. We had Intended putting on the
union labor In this building last summer,
but the got too haaty and spoiled every
thing."
Latenaer's Kb ti mate.
According to John l.tener, the archi
tect of the new court house, Douglas
county stands a good snow-o; collecting
the $100 a day forfeit required from the
contractor for every day that the com
pletion of the new building Is delayed after
May 1 of thla year.
"I see no reason why the county
shouldn't collect." said Mr. Latenser, on
being questioned.
- When asked by what time he thought
the new building could -ike completed tha
architect replied that If the work waa only
pushed hard enough It would be possible
to finish tha construction by the first of
Repteinbi-r.
"Of course," said Mr. Latenser, "It all
depends upon the effort made to hurry the
work."
Caldwell & Drake are claiming an ex
tension of 100 days because of a atated uu
avoidable delay caused by a strike In the
Vermont quarries. Whether or not this
extension In time Is granted them Ilea
with the caunty commissioners.
SHOW DOGS TAKE VP TiiH TRAIL.
SBBSBBBBBSBBBB)
Blauatkaaaa froaa Prasaaat Pat
rest at taa Dyaaaaltera.
Two bloodhounds, "Dr. Fremont" and
"Lady," owned by Dr. J. B. Fulton, were
turned louse at tha court housa la aa at
tempt to catch the dynamiters. Tha two
dogs took tha trail readily at Seventeenth
end Harney streets and followed It to the
corner of Seventeenth and Farnam streets.
At that point tha dogs were checked and
brought back to tha court house, to
whether they would take up tha scant
again. Thla precaution waa taken to
make aura that the hounds were oa the
trail. They Immediately picked up tha
scent again and atarted off la the same
direction, going north on Seventeenth
street aa far aa Nlcholaa.
At this corner tha dogs led tha keeper
and the detectives east on Nicholas to tha
Union Pacific shops, which are located at
about Tenth street. They went through
the gats which leads to the shops, but hers
tha trail waa lost. Thla was accounted for
in tha fact that during the hour of night
that tha explosion occurred the gats la
locked and a watchman la stationed nearby.
Tha dynami.ers could not have gone
through this entrance.
However, the detectives Insisted on going
Into tha railroad yards, and they were soon
rewarded when the scent was again taken
up by the doga. They went south along tha
tracka for a considerable distance and
came to an empty bog car, here they
stopped. Indlcationa abowed that tha per
son or persona being trailed had entered
the car. The trril waa again taken up and
followed southward aa far aa River view
park, near which the doga worked la slg
ing fashion. Indicating that they had lost
tha scent. Hera tha man hunt waa given
up, and tha dogs were returned to the
dynamited building, after having boea out
about two hours.

cluded that It was useless to go further
after they had reached Ninth and Nicholas
streets on the second round, and the dogs
were pulled off the trail.
CHARGED ACCURATELY PIACKD
Ksglseer Bays Kx plosions Were Lo
cated at Vital Points.
"The attempts evidently were made by
men familiar with the court house, and
also with how buildings are made," said
one of the Caldwell A Drake engineers.
"The charge of dyanmlte on the Harney
street side was placed near the great pil
lar In that corner of the structure. The
charge on the Eighteenth street side was
placed under a great, pillar near the cor
ner, with the obvious Intent of causing the
collapse of the entire southwest corner of
the building. Men unfamiliar with build
ings would have placed two charges side
by side. In an effort to cause the most
damage In one place possible."
The piers, according to John Latenser,
the architect, bear a weight of about Zb
tons.
"If they had weighted their charges,"
said Mr. Zelgler. "Instead of Just laying
them upon the footing against the piers
they might have succeeded In wrecking
much more of the building than they did."
CP TO CONTRACTOR O'CONNOR
Member of Coanty Hoard Says Bond
ers Mail Stand Loss.
"I shall recommend that a more thorough
search ef the court house be made at once,"
said Tom O'Connor, a county commis
sioner. "It Is extremely likely that the per
petrators of this deed had other explosives
planted about the building, but were
frightened away before they could explode
tlem. If left they may explode any time.
I think every nook and cranny should be
locked Into to guard against further dam
age to the structure.
'I think the result will be, aa thinga now
stand, that the work of finishing the build
ing will be delayed. Of course, all of that
Is left In the hands of the contractor. He
stands the loss."
The city streets are naturally de
stroyers of scent, and with the long
spell of dry weather the trail is very
faint. It was also some hours before
the hounds were placed upon the trail, but

It was a strange slsht to see the two
dogs, with their brown bodies close to the
ground ami their long ears drawing In the
dust as they ran along with their noses to
the trail. When puzzled the dogs let out
a little whimper and rapidly circled In nn
attempt to pick up the lost scent.
"Dr. Fremont" took a second in the
Omaha Bench show as a show dog, but Is
considered the best trailer of the kennels,
while "Lady," the other dog, took a first
