O'Brien. Gasping for breath, and catching
enough to begin his story, he spurted out in
substance what has been related above.
CIRCUMvENTING BURKE.
If anybody wants to go anywhere, St. Paul
is good place to start from. St. Paul is
railroad centre. Along each line of railroad
long and far-reaching telegraph wires are
extended.
systematic scout was at once instituted
from St. Paul for Burke. Hon. c. D. O'Brien
took up a handful of lightning and COM
menced discharging thunderbolts after Burke
and his kidnapped prisoner. Mr.. OBrien
made Burke's pathway very stormy for him.
Burke caught his prisoner in Minnesota, and
had peninsula between the Mississippi and
st. Crolx rivers as an area over which he
must operate and travel before he could make
an exit for Chicago. That part of the sacred
soil of Minnesota was buried under tele-
grams between the hours of $3.50 o'clock and
O'Clock P. NJ.
But the kilograms tell their own story, as
follows:

The click of the wires went along unim-
peded. Mr.. O'Brien was doing good SER
vice along the wires-but he wanted assist

tered it off as follows:

JORDAN AM HARD ROAD TO TRABB1E.
A quick, alert, agile man has been known
to dodge between rain drops. But horse
flesh, and farmers team, too, isn't fast
enough to drive through such deluge as the
above without being caught out
Alter the above work, Mr.. O'Brien and
Sheriff King conceived the idea, forced upon
them by exhaustion, that bit of wait would
be IN order. They hadn't long to wait be-
fore replies to their messages began to come
IN, ''quadruplex.'' The first transcribed
from the wires told this story:
HASTINGS, Jan. IL.

miles, and Cottage Grove. Saw no trace. Have
just got message from Hudson saying he's
headed for Hastings. Will keep GOOD look out.

the GLOBE has forgotten to mention that
