IDA MITCHELL TO GO SCOT FREE.
Man whom She Robbed Declines to
Prosecute Her.

man "nOm Snt hODbeu beciintb W
Prosecute Her.
Although the case of Ida Mitchell, the
negress charged with robbing a guest at the
Grand hotel, has been continued in police
court until Monday, there seems to be little
chance that she will be prosecuted. The
man she robbed, who gave the assumed name
of r. W. Drummer, is r. w. Bierwith, an in
surance a~djuster of New York, and he has
fatty refused to have anything more to do
with the case now that he has recovered the
larger part OF his money. From here he went
to Omaha, where he was located at a leading
hotel by officers from this city. He declined
to hand back the money to be used as evil
dence against the negress and refused to re-
turn here to prosecute. When Chief Bixby
learned this he had an information fled
against BierwiUh charging him with cob
tanning money under false pretenses.' bas-
ing the complaint on the ground that Bier
with had been permitted to retain his own
money after it had been recovered. A war
rant was issued for his arrest. but the omaha
police absolutely refused to take Bierwith
into custody on such a charge.
The facts of the case are that on the night
OF the robbery, after the negress and her
lover, Tom Sawyer, had been placed under
arrest, Bierwith induced Captain Denny and
officer Pinnell to him back to the
place where the woman was found and con-
tinue the search for the money. Bierwith
promised the officers $50 If they were sue
cessful in recovering his money for him.
While searching in the debris at the foot CT
the covered stairway leading to the rooms
where the woman was found Officer Pinnell
kicked open a roll of newspaper, disclosing
Bierwith's money. The latter promptly and
naturally seized 1t and the officers at the
time made no objection to his taking it. 1t
is presumed he paid them the $50 that he
promised.
Sawyer was released yesterday morning,
as the police claim there was no evidence 10
connect him with the robbery.

MARSHALLTOWN, Ia, ApIil 2S'-CSpe-
cial.)-The Republican gives a rumor
Of the probable early resignation of Gov
ernor Larrabee OF the Board Of Control. II
is stated TO be wholly on account of his
health, it being generally understood when
he was appointed that he would not serve
longer than his term of two years at the
very best. The Times-Republican says that
friends OF Colonel Horton, commandant of
the Soldiers home, and of Colonel Rood of

will be made TO secure the appointment OF
a soldier. on account Of the Soldiers home
being under the control of the board.

S. NJ. Craig, a former conductor in the
employ of the Milwaukee road, was taken
into custody early yesterday morning as be-
ing insane. He has become mentally UNI
balanced of late and labors under the de-
fusion that he is heir to untold wealth and
immense property interests in Warren
county, Ohio. He thinks he is being per-
secuted and went around Thursday telling
every person that he met that he would
have $40, 900 within two weeks and that
an uncle had died and left him heir to the
whole of Warren county in Ohio, worth
untold millions. Craig was taken to st.
Demands hospital and his case will probably
be brought before the insanity commits
sioners today.

KimbaII Has "a Narrow Escape.

KIMBALL, s. D., April 28.-IspecIaTJ-
The narrowest escape this city has ever
had from prairie fires occurred yesterday.
A prairie fire, starting from a smoldering
manure heap on a farm six miles west of
town, and borne along by a brisk breeze,
traversed the intervening distance in a
short space OF time and, had it not been for
the prompt and untiring efforts on the part
of the citizens in heading it OFF, would prob
ably have left the greater part of the tow
in ashes. AS II was one dwelling house
and contents on the outskirts of the city
were totally destroyed and two others were
saved only by hard work. The cemetery,
one mile west, was entirely desolated, fences
etc, being burned and the tombstones black
ened.
