RED MIKE'S JOND REJECTED
Sheriffs. New Deputy Will Bring
" . Mandamus Proceeding.
REASONS GIVEN FOB REFUSAL
Commissioners Declare They Would
Kot Pat lied Mike's Name on
Payroll Because His Is Not
Fit Person lo Scire.
Mandamus action to compel the county
commissioners to approve the bond of
"Red Mike" Wallace. Sheriff McShanes
new deputy, and to place his name on
the payroll will be started In district
court Monday.
So declared J. Dean Ringer of South
Omaha, attorney for Wallace, when In
formed that the county board had main
tained its refusal to approve Wallace's
bond and place his name on the payroll.
When the Wallace matter came up In
the board meeting a resolution to reject
the bond was introduced and passed by
unanimous vote of those present, only
Commissioner Frank C- Best being absent.
The resolutions set out the reasons for
the rejection that Wallace is unfit for
service because he was convicted of va
grancy in police court and his appeal now
is pending in district court, and because
it is a matter of general knowledge that
for more than a year he resided in the
Third ward, doing no work and having
no visible means of support On motion
a. copy of the resolution was attached
to the rejected bond, which will be re
turned to Wallace.
Has night to Reject.
Commissioner O'Connor, who offered
the resolution, said Deputy County Attor
ney Magney told him the board has a
right to reject the bond if the principal
is unfit for service. Mr. O'Connor said
he had been disinclined to set out the
reasons for rejection of the bond because
he did not want "to throw water on a
drowned rat," but since Wallace's attor
ney had asked for reasons, the board
should comply with the request
Wallace now has served a month as
deputy sheriff, but has received no pay,
the board having stricken his name from
the pay roll.

MAY UNEARTHOLD SECRET
Old-Time Militiamen Watch the
Excavation for Theater.
AMMUNITION BUEED THESE
Report Was That Thirty Years Ago
Strike Sympathisers Stole the
Amnianltloa May Have
Beea Cached.
Whether or not 160,000 rounds of ammuni
tion would be uncovered while the ex
cavating was going on for the new
Brandels theater just now to be built,
it Is said was a matter of grave concern
to quite a number of the older men In
Omaha who are supposed to be holding a
secret. Thirty years ago during the time
of the big Burlington strike in Omaha,
the Omaha guards, a company of militia
here were suddenly without amunltlon or
firing pins in their muskets. It was
180,000 rounds of ammunition that disappeared-
At the time the destruction or
carrying off . of these supplies was
charged to the strikers because there
was talk of calling out the guards to
quell the strikers.
Recently it irsald that a great many
of the survivors of the old company of
"Omaha Guards" nave been seen
anxiously watching the work of excavat
ing where the theater is to be built. It
Is also whispered about that It was not
the strikers at all that made away with
the ammunition and the firing pins, but
members of the "Omaha Guards' them
selves, who were opposed to .taking up
arms against the strikers nd who
secretly threw the ammunition and firing
pins in an old well on this lot one night
James Donnelly, a salesman for the
Harding Creamery company, Is said to
have some inside Information on this
matter. He was pressed with questions
and simply replied, "Nothing doing."
"Do you know if this Is truer' ha was
asked, t r
"Nothing doing," was his reply.
"Do you know who burled the stufff'
"Nothing doing." "
"You are supposed to be one thst
knows." .ft
. "Nothing doing. Good-bys."
"Walt a minute, Were you a member
or the guards?" he was asked.
"Nothing doing.;'
"Do you know of anybody, that could
give ths facts In this matter?"
"Nothing doing. Good-bye." ,

MURDERER MAY LIVE HERE
"William tht Apostle" it Thought
to Be Thomas HartwelJ.
HE IS i. HEIIGIOUr FANATIC
Brother sac Sister Who Resld la
Omaha Think He is the Mai
Held la Conectloa with
Deaver Murder.
"William the Apostle." arrested in
Denver in connection with the murder of
Miss Slgne Amelie Carlzen, who was
found there slain with an axe, is thought
to be Thorns s Hartwell, 2312 South Nine
teenth street. Hartwell is a rellgtous
fanatic. Ha thinks he is Jesus Christ
and that his mission in the world Is to
kill all parasites of mankind with an axe.
His brother, John Hartwell, and his
sister, Mrs. May Filbert, 2014 Bancroft
street, say they believe he is the man held
in connection with the murder. The last
letter received from him was mailed in
Denver August .
Two years ago Hartwell attempted to
kill his father, nearly 70 years old, with
an axe. At that time the family lived at
Fifteenth and William street. Hartwell
placed an axe beside his father's bed and
when asked by his brother what be was
going to do he said he was Jesus and his
work was to kill the iniquitous with an
axe.
A short time later he approached his
sister, Mrs. Filbert, with a large butcher
knife In his hand and told her he was
destined to kill the weak and destroy,
barren women.
Hartwell was struck in the head by a
railroad train near Ogden, Utah, four
years ago, which caused him to become
a raving fanatic. He was always talking
of killing the unfaithful and became so
violent that his family had him sent to
the county hospital In July of 1909. He
was released from the hospital the next
month. In September of the same year
he was again sent to the hospital, where
he remained a year. Since that time he
has been wandering about the country.
He left Omaha about six weeks ago and
went to New Mexico. From there he went
to Denver, where he has been for the last
three weeks.
Hartwell is about 30 years old. He Is
a broommaker by trade. After the ac
cident he gave up working and devoted
his entire time wandering about, a raving
religious fanatic.
The' police are inclined to think that
Hartwell may have some connection with
the murder of the Moore family at VII
llsca, la., some weeks ago. The entire
Moore family was slain with an axe.

The "taxlcab war" reached a crisis yes
terday when the Omaha Taxlcab company
gave notice to the city that it would re
fuse to obey the orders of the mayor and
the police commissioner who were author
ized to designate the stands where taxi
drivers may stand with their machines.
A driver for the Omana Taxlcab com

a stand for the Gray Bonnet line, and
the police forthwith arrested him. He
was released on bonds.
The Omaha Taxlcab line declared other
drivers would be instructed to stand In
front of the Henshaw. Acting Chief of
Follce Dunn ordered th immediate ar
rest of all who refused to obey the police.
The head of the Omaha Taxi line has
retained attorneys and will test the power
of the city commissioner to order taxi
cabs off certain streets. Judge Ben
S. Baker, corporation counsel, maintains
that ss a matter cf police regulation the
council has this power.
Drivers arrested will be charged with
disorderly conduct and obstructing the
streets. The owners of the Omaha line
will furnish bonds for its drivers who are
arrested.
"If the courts hold the council has not
power to enforce this ruling," said Judge
Baker, "then the only thing to do Is to
pass an ordinance."
Such an ordinance is being drafted and
wilt be presented to the council by Police
Commissioner Ryder at an early date. It
will cover the point at issue and make
several other provisions relative to the

Speaking of this investigation Dr..

ten acres, he said.
He said be had not investigated condi

act gently, yet positively, and restore
normal conditions. This simple, natural
remedy Is also Invaluable in checking
summer diarrhoea. By thoroughly cleans
ing the bowels, the foreign matter and
poisons that Irritate and inflame the
tissues are eliminated. Don't torture the
child with harsh cathartic, purgative or
astringent remedies that upset the whole
system, and at best only relieve tem
porarily..' Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
