YEGGMEN THEORY IS ADVANCED
Fire May Have Started from Lighted
Cigarette.
INVESTIGATION IS UNDER WAY
sheriff ia Making EaerEetic Effort to
solve the Myutery Surrounding
Destruction of the MIX
Plant.

Gun cotton one Of the most powerful
and deadly explosives known. was found
in and near the ruins of the Henry PauIsen
dairy on the Center street road two miIes
west of the CITY limits. which was mvsteri-
ously destroyed by fire early in the morn
ing OF November 49, the discovery being
made yesterday morning by Manager Wood
Of the Wood dairy which Is located near
the Paulsen place.
The find proves almost beyond a doubt
that the dairy fire was Of incendiary
origin. The only other theory that can
explain the presence Of tho gun cotton is
that the dairy stable was used as a hiding
or sleeping place by 'yeggmen" or other
safe blowers the night of the fire and that
sparks from a pipe or cigarette in the
hands Of one OF them caused the fire.
The gun cotton was turned over to Sheriff
Brailey's office and the sheriff and his
deputies are making a rig,d investigation.
The gun cotton itself affords but a poor
clue upon which to work. There is nothing
about it to indicate the identity Of the
persons responsible for the blaze.
How Gun Cotton is Made.
Gun cotton is made by sleeping loosely
made cotton rope in nitric and sulphuric
acids. In appearance Il resembles an ordi-
nary loosely twisted cotton rope; but more
minute examination reveals the explosive
acid particles, which sparkle like bits OF
ground glass.
Three pieces OF the cotton, two about
three inches long and one nearly a foot
long, were found-one piece in the north
east corner OF the stable and two pieces
near the ruins Of the siIo, which was
located at the northwest corner of the
stable The gun cotton was taken to Sheriff
Brailey's office. Visitors In the office de-
clared the pieces to be sections OF fuse
such as ordinarily Is used for firing blast
ing charges. They said 1t is used for many
legitimate purposes. such as blasting
stumps in this section Of the country. and
said It is commonly sold by dealers in ex-
plosives and sporting goods.
Deputy Sheriff Foster took piece OF
the gun cotton to the Walter C. Clark COM
pany and there learned what the stuff
really Is.
Powerful A. An Explosive.
Gun cotton is not commonly used and is
not handled by ordinary sporting goods
houses, being too powerful and deadly an
explosive and there being no legitimate
necessity for it's use. It is used by some
''yeggmen" and other safe blowers but
hio9t VI ehSih even uSe uluuBiEcSEln' Whlcn
they extract from stick dynamite by boiling
It in water. When a certain temperature
is reached the nitroglycerin rises to the
surface and is SKINNED off the top OF the
boiling soup" as the "yeggmen" call IT,
The fact that several Jobs" OF safe
blowing have been done in the vicinity of
Omaha within the last few weeks lends
| color to the theory that safe blowers acct
dentally set the dairy afire and then fled,
leaving part of their paraphenal!a behind
