HOLDUP NAN VISITS HOTEL
Jesse D, Mold Of the Dewey Relieved of His
Spare Change.
LEFT LOCKED IN A ROOM BY THE RoBBER
Good Description of the Robber Fur
nished the Police, but They
Have Not Yet Succeeded in
Locating Him.

Jesse f. Mold, night clerk at the Dewey
hotel, Thirteenth and Farnam streets, was
robbed by a man who came to the place
ostensibly as a guest about 1880 o'clock
Thursday night.
A well dressed stranger came TO the Office,
which is in tbe second story Of the building,
and asked for a room for the night, he
registering by the name OF Oscar Brain,
Des Moines, Ia. He presented the night
clerk ten-dollar bill with which to pay
for the nights lodging and Mold, not hav-
Ing sufficient change with him told the
stranger that he would go down stairs for
the money. Going 20 the bar-room below,
he found the barkeeper was also short Of
change and he gave the bill to another
party in the place to go across the street
for it, and returned to the ONCE. telling
the stranger that his change would be
forthcoming within few moments.
II will just go to my room and wait"
said Brain, and into the room he went to
wait for his money.
Before leaving the room Clerk Mold put
the key inside OF the door, and when he
returned with the money in about FIVE
minutes Brain was sitting on a chair.
Just come clear in" said the man as
Clerk Mold started to hand the money from
the hallway, and at this time Mold noticed
that Brain had placed the key on the out
side Of the door and had closed the tran
som.
Not being suspicious, however, Mold en-
tered the room and was reaching in his
pocket for the money when Brain put a
revolver to his breast, with the exclama-
ton.
Just give me all that you have"
Without a bit of hesitation the clark
gave over all the money in his possession
which amounted to about 500, besides the
money which Brain had given him.
The stranger then deliberately locked
the door from the outside, took the key
out and placed it on the desk of the office
| and departed.
When Mold had recovered sufficiently tc
| figure out Just what had happened he
climbed out Of the window onto a balcony
which leads to another room window
climbed in and was able to make his way

He Immediately teephoned to the po-
! lice and was able to give a good descrip-
| ton OF the robber. Detectives Patullo anc
Horne were at once sent out on the case

GATHERS WRITES IT DOWN
Serves Notice on Comptroller that Grating
at City Hall Must Stop"
OBJECTS TO DELEGATES GOING TO TOLEDO
Says If LObeck Issues warrant for
Money Appropriated by COun-
ell He VIII Sue that
Official.

Waving his hand John T. Gathers walked
into the city comptrollers office and point
ing to A. T. Klopp, S. Roper Crickmore and
Sam Rothwell, who were occupying chairs,
said to Comptroller Lobeck:
Grating at the city hall must stop. In
the presence of these witnesses l hereby
protest against the issuance of a warrant
for $500 for expenses of delegates to the con-
vention of the League of American Mu-
inequalities at Toledo"
Mr.. Gathers glared at his audience but
no one made any move to assault him.
That's all right" said the comptroller,
but to do this thing up real well you ought
to write it out"
Within a short time Gathers brought in
this manifesto:
On August Is, 1905, the city council of
Omaha appropriated the sum of $500 out
of the general fund to pay the expenses OF
a committee to attend the Municipal league
convention at Toledo, o. The resolution Is
No. 1920.
hereby give you notice that II you issue
a warrant for that money and the same is
paid by the treasurer, l will bring suit inn
1t would be an illegal and wrongful ex-
penditure OF the taxpayers money, This
graft business must stop.
Zimman Puts In.
President Zimman came to the legal de-
partment and told City Attorney Breen that
ne was surprised TO near ne ndu Dttn dC-
cused of graft. The attorney replied that
he had no special desire to go TO Toledo
and that the trip had been urged upon him
and he responded as a patriotic citizen
but that now IL he went he would pay his
own expenses under any consideration, AL
though not committing himself, he said he
thought IL likely that the city has no legal
right TO spend money for the purpose
IF that is true how about the $500 the
city pays every year for electric street
lighting during the Ak-Sar-Ben festlval?"
asked Zimman.
II should say the city has no right to
pay this money, because IT comes out Of
the general fund, whereas the charter pro-
vides that all street lighting shall be paid
out of a special fund for the purpose" said
Mr.. Breen, backed by Assistant City Attor-
ney Herdman.
VERY WELL" said Zimman. IT am in
favor of cutting off this illegal lighting
bill this fall. We can't be too careful try
ing to please Mr. Gathers, you know"
Comptroller Lobeck says his hands are
tied for twenty days after the resolution
reaches him. at the end OF which time the
protestant must make his appeal to the
district court,

an enigma to many traders, ruling strong in
the face of numerous bearish advices. Seem
ingy the only reason that could be given for
the strength was the cash situation, cash
wheat showing good gains in nearly all mar
kets. For both spring and fall sown wheat
the weather conditions to-day were more ia
vorabe than for several weeks, little or no
rain having fallen since yesterday. Notwith-
standing this fact the market opened firm.
with July shade lower to shade higher at
SS1kc to sec. Not much wheat offered
for sale, and with active demand from
commission houses prices quickly advanced.
The upturn more remarkable in view of
the bearish reports received concerning the
harvesting of the crop advices claiming
an excellent yield with quality good. For
July the highest point of the day reached
at 90%c. The more distant deliveries showed
a more moderate advance During the last
half hour much of the gain was lost on liberal
