The fire was discovered by young
man In door just opposite, who states
| that 1t commenced In the lower story
Of the building. The structure is five
stories high, occupied by Sechler 81 Co.
as carriage factory, and every story
| was stored with oombustibles. A
| "chute" leading from the engint room
to the upper stories served as ohm
ney and conveyed the flames to these
| tinder- boxes.
The tremen worked in the face of
great dlscouragement in the way OF de-
lays occasiOned by the bursting OF hose,
and when the fire was almost under con-
troll the supply OF water was failing and
new connections hal to be made.
To enable more effectual work on the
fire in the upper stories, long ladder
had been placed against the building,
and, although every one present coulu

OF the CUTS, assembled with mis- pipe and

CAUGHT AT LAST
A Witte Man Whose Wits DO Not
Now Come to His Rescue.

Herman Wltte, Jr., the late Third
street banker, has been missing from
the city for some six months. He re-
turned yesterday, and is registered at
the County Jail. Numerous charges
have been made against him of obtain
ing money under false pretenses, some
thirty persons having preferred charges
against him which aggregate nearly
So, 900.
His father seems to have been man
highly respected and trusted, and his
son took advantage Of his good char
acter to deceive poor and ignorant per-
sons out OF their property AMI hard
earnings.
His "bank" was located on Third
street, near Main, and was, 1t is said,
gorgeously fitted up, regardless, as we'll
6e might be, OF expense. He began
business about four years since as a real
estate agent, soon, however, becoming a
"banker.". Not long after that began
rumors Of dishonesty on his part, yet
until within about year he has com
manded the respect Of his German fell
low-citjzens generally.
Detective Snelbaker arrested him
yesterday on special charge preferred
by Mr.. Henry Grotenkemper, the we'll
known distilleT, resident of the Twen-
ty-fourth Ward. The amount in which
Mr.. Grotenkemper is loser is reported
TO be about $4,000, being mostly money
borrowed at various times and under
various pretenses by Witte. The story
OF his deceits, as practiced in this and
Dther cases, is long one, and brands
him thief and detrauder Of the first
water.
