+. II. Franklin, the young man who has
admitted robbing the residence of R. II.
Bloomer Wednesday afternoon, will have his
preliminary hearing before Judge Aylcs-
worth in police court this morning. So far,
with the exception of a couple of articles
of minor value, all the goods stolen by
Franklin have been recovered.
After the young mans arrest in Omaha
he was brought back here Thursday after
noon, but the fact that he was in custody
was kept secret by the police. When CON
tronted by Mrs. Dawson, a neighbor of the
Bloomers, who had seen him leave the
house, he broke down and confessed to the
robbery. He drew from his stocking the
watch that had been stolen and offered to
the officers to South Omaha,
where he said the booty had been secreted
by him. The officers accompanied him there
AMI returned about II o'clock with practi-
Cally all Of the stolen goods in their pos
session. The matter OF his arrest was kept
secret until he was placed behind the bars
and even the sergeant on night duty was
not aware that he was in custody. The
reason for this, Chief Bixby explained yes
terday, was that they believed he had u
partner who was implicated in the rob
berry. Franklin is a young man not over 20
years of age and says he ran away from his
home in California last September, when
ne came to Omaha. His parents but re-
Gently got any trace of him. They had
urged him to come home and when arrested
he was found to have a ticket to California
in his possession. He appears to be pos
gessed of more than average education and

THE BEE WHEEL CONTESTS
The More that Enter the Contests,
the Easier the Wheels Will
he Won.

Every boy and girl will want to ride a
wheel this spring and The Bee is going to
give you a chance TO get one in a very
simple way. What is more, it is going to
let you pick out any make wheel you want,
, for it knows you all want a certain make,
which is the only make on earth"
Now let lis tell you how The Bee is going
to give the wheels away. We want a lot of
new subscribers to The Bee in Council
Bluffs. AS soon as the first 300 orders have
been handed into our office, the first con-
test closes and we will award the wheel to
the one bringing the most orders out of
this 300. Then Contest No. l closes and Con-
test No. 2 opens on the next 800 orders.
Just see how easy this is. Say only thirty
girls and boys start out on March 1 to get
subscribers. They only have to average ten
apiece to make the total, so the winner will
not have to get very many orders, you see.
You want to start in early and hand in your
orders as soon as possible.
Now about the orders. Each order must
be for an actual new Council Bluffs sub
scriber. Each subscriber must take The Bee
for at least three weeks and pay for it in
order to be counted. 1t is better, but not
necessary, to pay in advance, only no order
Will be counted until the subscription is
paid for. If the subscription is paid for in
advance 1t will count one on your score for
each three weeks for which it is prepaid.
For Example If a subscriber pays in ad-
vance for six weeks, it counts two; if he
pays for twelve weeks, it will count four;
If he pays for one year, 1t will count seven
teen. On orders which are not paid in ad-
vance 1t Will count only one on your score
no matter how long he continues to take it.
There, that. is plain, isn't it? Now see
what you can do. The first contest begins
March l. Sincerely yours,
OMAHA DAILY BEE,
Council Bluffs Department.
N. B.-Call at The Bee office, 10 Pearl

Court Noaes.


The trial of John Lawrence and R. b.
Tracy on the charge of stealing T.. NJ.
Lorenz's chickens was completed in the dis
trict court yesterday afternoon shortly after
the noon adjournment and the case given to
the jury, Up to a late hour last night the
jury had failed to arrive at a verdict. Dur
ing the course of the trial the question of
the identity of the stolen fowl had arisen
and in his closing argument to the jury the
attorney for the defendants laid special
stress on this, claiming that it had not been
proven by the prosecution that the birds
found in their possession were the ones
stolen from Lorenz.
Immediately at the close of this case the
defendants were again placed on trial, this
time on the charge of breaking into a school
house in the neighborhood of Lorenz's house
on the night that his hen coop was raided,
When the defendants were arrested in
Omaha a pail, which ii is charged they stole
from the school house, was found in their
possession. They claim they purchased tn,
pail in Marysyille, Mo. A jury had not
been secured when court adjourned, owing
to the difficulty in securing jurors from the
regular panel who had not formed some
opinion of the guilt or innocence Of the de-
PENDANTS by listening to the evidence in the
former trial.

Plan n New Bridge.

In addition to the improvements already
decided upon, the Omaha G Council Bluffs
Railway and Bridge company is planning
on replacing its wooden trestle bridge over
Indian creek, at the corner of Broadway and
Thirteenth street, with a steel structure.
The plans are now being prepared and the
new bridge will be so designed as to give
n greater waterway than was possible with
the old trestle work. The present structure,
situated as it Is at the curve of the creek
and containing a number of wooden piers,
has invariably in the case of a freshet in
the creek prevented the free flow of the
water and formed a setback. This, with
The iron bridges of the Northwestern in its
yards at Eleventh street, has been the
main cause of the creek backing up and
overlooking its banks for several years past.
The new bridge proposed to be put in by
the motor company will materially lessen
the danger from this source, the more es-
pecially since the bridge on Broadway has
been raised.
AS soon as the Union Pacific announces
its willingness to commence work City En-
gineer Etnyre will begin the replacement
of the bridge over the creek at Fifth av-
enue with one of more modern CONSTRUCT
ton.
