SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !


Chief of Police Carroll returned yesterday
afternoon from Seward, having in custody
s.. c. Burlingim, suspected of having con-
cocted the scheme of selling a certain tract
of land belonging to Peter Butler. John
Johns, the man who came here and repre-
scented himself as Butler, confessed TO the
police and implicated B%urlingim. 1t was
upon the information of Johns that Chief
Carroll procured a warrant for Burlingim's
arrest. The deal was to sell to innocent
parties a tract OF land in Seward county
owned by Butler. Johns was to introduce
himself to South Omaha parties as Butler
and negotiate for the sale. In consideration
of his part of the work he was to receive
half the proceeds which, 1t was estimated,
would amount to about 500. Johns, being "
innocent appearance, worked his part to a
finish, but the purchaser Of the land became
suspicious and wrote a letter to Chief of
Police Carroll asking him to investigate.
Investigation proved that the local deal
ers had been ''gold-bricked by the limo
cent looking farmer from Milford, and he
was given every consideration pending the
closing Of the deal. AS soon as Chief Car
roll spoke to the real estate men about the
matter they became suspicious also and
quietly laid a trap for Johns, alias Butler.
Upon the representation that the sale was
about to be closed and the money paid, Johns
returned to South Omaha Wednesday and
in the afternoon ne was arrested. Immedi-
ately following his arrest he confessed the
whole deal and stated that he had been in
duced to represent Butler by 5. C. Bur
lingim Of Seward. The old man told such a
straight story that papers were made out
for the arrest of Burlingim.
Notwithstanding the fact that a number
of cases We're on the call, Judge Babcock
took time to arraign both Burlingim and
Johns, Both pleaded not guilty and the
bond was fixed at s., 600.
Burlingim was accompanied by his attor-
noy, Judge George w. Lowley, who refused
to talk Of the case and stated that he would
make his showing when the matter came
before the court, AS neither defendant could
furnish bond they were remanded to jail to
await a hearing on May 8.
In a conversation later, Burlingim tried
to discredit Johns and asserted that the old
man was crooked. The police place a great
deal Of credence in Johns statements. AS
he appears to be repentant and continually
asserts that his ignorance has brought all
this trouble upon him.

SCHOOL ToBET WoSToRIES AND BASEMEN

omaha's new High school building is al
most completed-on paper. Architect NC
Donald has very nearly finished the plans
of the structure and Will be ready 10 SUD-
nit them to the Board Of Education TOT ap-
proyal at the meeting next Monday night
The n,ans are not worked out in detail, but
give an accurate idea of what the finished
building will be II they are adopted.
In connection with these plans Architect
Mcdonald will also submit to the board an
elevation, showing what the High school will
be when fully completed In years to come,
IL his plans are extended-for 1t Is settled
that the structure which is to be commenced
this wear is to be but one wing of a much
larger building that is to be eventually
erected. =,
II the architects ideas are fully adopted
In the complete building, the High school
will be in the shape OF a three-sided hollow
SQUARE, the fourth and open side being on
the west and the space between a court
The main section OF the building VIII be
about 100 feet in length. Wings VIII extend
from the north and the south ends to the
west for a distance OF 30 feet. The whole
pile will be practically three stories In
height. The main entrance will be located
directly opposite Capitol avenue and will be
surmounted with a dome, this dome and
entrance to be practically the only feature
of ornateness about the structure.
This high school is what Omaha people
must look forward to for some time, for the
structure that the Board OF Education pro-
noses to erect this year will be but one or
the wings OF the school-that located TO the
south. 1t will be somewhere on the Dodge
street side of the High SCHOOL grounds. The
exact site is not yet determined, but many
members OF the board think that the build
ing should be placed in the center. The
entrance will be from Dodge street. The
front OF the wing will stand on the present
grade and the ground TO the north will be
graded to THE level, which will be but a
little higher than the top OF the retaining
wall on the south end OF the grounds. This
will require a cut OF some nine feet at the
north and rear OF the building, 1t Is the
Intention to slice of the entire top OF the
hill to the grade of this level when the en-
tire High school is completed.
Two stories and n basement.
According to the plans of Architect Nc

year will be 2l0xllO feet in size, the longer
