SAVED BY BRAVE FIREMEN.
SIXTEEN PEOPLE TAKEN FROM A
BURNING BUILDING IN
OMAHA.
THE FIRE STARTED IN ORDER TIC
SECURE INSURANCE ON OLD
STOCK.

OMAHA, March 16.-Sixteen people
were rescued from the third and fourth
stories of the burning Withheld block, cor
ner of Fifteenth and Harvey streets, to-day
by Omaha firemen with the aid of extern
sion ladders. A number of them were
young women, and all were carried out in
safety. Though the damage to the block
was less than $4,000 it cut off all escape by
destroying the elevator and staircase, and
for few minutes rendered the situation of
the inmates on the top floors critical.
Many of them were with difficulty re-
strained from jumping to the pavement
below.
While number of streams were turned
on the fire, the hook and ladder men hur-
ried up their long ladders and applied
themselves to the rescue of the thoroughly
frightened inmates. The evidence of in
cendiarism was reported to Chief of Detec-
tives Haze, and detectives were detailed to
look after the case. They examined the
debris, and found deposits of combustibles.
The only trace of the large stock of furs
the firm of Schultz d Co. claimed to have
carried was about dozen muffs, which
were partially burned.
As these were found where the fire was
hottest it was believed that similar traces
would remain of the other furs if they
had been there. The officers are working
on the theory that most of the stock was
taken out before the blaze was started and
are trying to find the expressman who did
the moving. The firm occupied the lower
floor and had $1,000 of insurance on the
stock. Circumstantial evidence of arson
was $50 strong that William Schultz and
his manager, James III. McCabe, were ar
rested tonight charged with firing the
building. Part of the stock, 500 worth,
was located in an adjoining building.

Quoted her to the Lambert House when
they reached st. Louis yesterday and she
remained there with him last night. This
morning she started for Carlinville to tell

checks had been taken from her reticule,
which Lynch had carried for her.
Lynch was arrested at the Union station
and admitted practically all of Mrs.
Dryers story, except the theft of $500.
This he strenuously denied. Lynch is an
attorney at Evansville. Mrs. DIVER saws
she owns two business blocks and other
