fremont hotel in this city, n four-story
brick structure, collapsed without II

cupants Of the house.
The building was not an old one and
no thought Of its ever falling was en-
tertuincd until yesterday, when the east
hnlf suddenly separated itself from the
west half and toppled over with IA
crash, taking with IL many human be-
ings and all the furniture essential to
sleeping apartments, parlors, dining
rooms and lobby. The collapse was
strildngly similar TO the Ford theater

intact and were the means Of saving all
who were taken from the remnant of
the building.

the head and shoulders Of woman

ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Two of the Desperadoes Operating
at Omaha Captured
GIVEN AWAY BY THEIR PAL.
The Runians Found Armed and Equipped
for Their work-They Would Like
to Murder the In
former.

OMAHA, Neb., June 27.-An attempt
TO rob The Missouri Pacific express,
which leaves this city for St. Louis at
1Op m, was foiled last night by a
quarrel among the robbers, which
caused one of them TO give the others
away.
Last Wednesday man named Ben
nington told couple of Omaha detect
ives that two men named Charles Me-
Clure and Allen Squires, had plan TO
rob the express the coming Saturday
night at Wesl Side, a small station on
the western edge of the city, where an
unsuccessful attempt at robbery was
made several weeks ago.
At the request of the detectives Ben
nington contrived TO have the officers
see his pals, a point and time having
been agreed on the following day.
While the officers were somewhat sus-
picious Of the story, they reported the
matter TO Chief Seavey, who detailed
five men TO board the train when Il left
Omaha Sa.lrday night and be prepared
to meet the robbers, should an attempt
be made,
West Side was passed without event
and the officers left the train above
Omaha. Sunday the same detectives
were again seen by Bennington, who
said that the robbery was not attempt
ed Saturday night because the men
were afraid that officers got on the
train at Fortieth and Leavenworth
streets, a short distance north of West
Side. The train did stop there to let
on passengers.
Bennington further said that the
robbery would be attempted Monday
night, and said that the meeting place
of the robbers would be at the lake in
Hanscom park, and that the officers
would find himself, Mcclure and Squires
there soon after 8 o'clock.
Detectives Savage, Dempsey, Hayes
and Hudson went 10 the lake at the
time set and found the three men lying
on the grass Mcclure and Squires
pulled revolvers, but concluded not to
use them when they discovered that the
officers were ready for them.
On the men were found three good
revolvers and flash gun. In search
ing them sack was found secreted
under Squiros' coat, which contained
four fuses, three masks, two packages
OF dynamite and bottle of benzine.
Mcclure Immediately accused Benning-
ton of giving him and Squires away,
and told the officers that IL they would
leave him alone with bennington a
moment they could take him TO the sta
tion for another crime.
The men were then taken to tho
, police station. Mcclure and Squires
say they will shoot bennington as soon
as they get chance.
The police here do not know these
men. Mcclure has a fresh bullet
wound in the left arm and from certain
statements he, made it is suspected that
he, and perhaps the others, were inn
plicated In the attempt to rob a Kansas
City & Council Bluffs train near Coun-
ell Bluffs about week ago. Mcclure
is short and heavy set, and has a sandy
mustache and hair. Squires is tall,
lean and lank with dark complexion
and looks every inch "a tough.

case anyone has or might have griev-
ance. At these meetings held by
Walters committees were selected TO
complete the organization and 10 at
tend 20 other business. A chairman
for each committee was selected.
This was not well taken by Supcrin-
tendent Murlin, In charge Of the coiA
company, and ho discharged the com
mittees who are the ngitators in the
movement from the coal company's en-
ploy. A mass meeting Of all the miners
was then called. Tho company refused
10 reinstate the discharged men and for
this reason the miners went out on u
strike, or rather refused 20 60 back 10
