as having been captured in Detroit several
days ago Is still at large and is identical
with the man who did the Dassel job in this
village last Thursday morning. From the
evidence at hand officers here and at
various other towns between here and
st. Paul are of the opinion that the perpe-
TRAITOR of the st. Paul midnight outrage is
| still in the state, and has been ever Since
the raids in st. Paul; and further. that
there is regular gang at work, of which 81.
| the short. thick-Set man" is the leader and
chief craftsman. Officials here are in DOS
session of information, which has lust
been impaired to your correspondent,
and which connects beyond a doubt
the job here last Thursday
with bold scheme at Willmar, as detailed
IN the GLOBE of Saturday. an attempt in
Minneapolis and the affairs at the residences
Oh MIR. Cakes and Mr.. Merriam in ST. Paul.
The evidence that this is true is as follows:
Soon after the
ST. PAUL RAIDS
the presence of professional in NTinnean-
OILS was apparent to the detectives, and al
ulOuSh a determined effort was made to
capture MN, the expert so carefully covered
| his trail that nothing was accom-
pllshed, though the precautions toI,an
rendered any attempt at fine work in that
city extremely hazardous. From Minne
apolis the gang went West, with WilImar
their objective point. Here traces of four
different people were found and there can
be hardly doubt that they were travelling
together and under the leadership of the
short, thick-set man." That some big
job was planned at this point
is clearly indicated by the recital
in the GLOBE of yesterday. The distance
from Willmar to this city could have been
easily covered between Monday night and
! Thursday night, the night of the DasseI
robbery. Mr.. Dassel left home Thursday
night, going to Minneapolis, where he has
been visiting Freeman P. Lane, a brother Of
DR.. Lane of this place. Mrs. Dassel's ac-
| count of the affair is as follows: About
o'clock in the morning l was
awakened by some one in my room.
but felt no alarm, as L supposed
1T was my brother, who is an early riser. and
L could distinguish that the time was some
where in the early morning hours l sat up
in bed and called him by name, whereupon
he turned and passed out into the hall; but
as he did so l readily distinguished the fact
| that he was stranger and that he
wore
| HANDKERCHIEF OR MASK
over the lower part of his face. [ saw him
but moment, but could identify

| iiiC. AShSu W u6SCTIDG JlG man MlR,
| DaSsel said he was Il short and thick-seS
man, wearing cap. After leaving the
room he made his way out of the house and
all trace of him was lost, although the
alarm was quickly given and search insti-
tuted. As booty he secured gold brooch
| and gold watch, failing to find Mrs. Das-
sells diamonds lying .conspicuOusly on q
dreSSng-case near by. Bernhard Dassel is
president of the bank of Orion
Vile and one OF the wealthiest
men of the village, which accounts
Tor his residence having been selected for
| raid, for it is the record of the ''short,
thick-set man" to 60 where there is a pros
pect of making rich haul OF jewelry and
| other valuables. If the St. Paul and Min
neapoliS detectives really think the man
| captured in Detroit is identical with the
OakeS-Merriam man, they are certainly off
the scent. That professional gentleman,
with his fences and rough workers, is now
doing the Northwest, and will be heard
from before many days and nights pass.
ChattO, the Apache Chief, Killed.
Special to the Globe.
SILVER CITY, n. NJ, Aug. ia cour-
Ter from beyond the Mexican border brings
intelligence which is received with satisfac-
ton here. On the Sth inst. Lieut.. Davis.
with company of Apache scouts, accom-
panied by two troops of the Fourth cavalry,
were operating in the state of Sonora, Mex
leo, fifteen miles south of San BernardinO.
The command was on a fresh trail. Hot"
signs were growing more noticeable Every
minute it seemed certain that the rem
egadeS would be Overtaken when
the ChattO chief in command of the scouts
ordered halt and called on the officers for
council. Lieut.. Darts promptly issued
orders to move forward, and then Chatto
and five or six other Indians drew off to
one side and moved towards the hills to the
north of the trail. which was leading almost
due west Upon being commanded to halt,
ChattO and his men started upon a run, and
a fire was given. One of the companies of
troops, within a 2O0-yard range, opened
fire upon the fleeing scouts with splendid
effect,
KILLING CHATTO
and two of his men, wounding another and
bringing the others to sudden halt. Scouts
who had remained in line seemed stupefed
by the suddenness of the affair, but after it
had been aScertained that ChattO was killed
they all assumed an air of Sullen anger.
which BODIED Ill for the future At the
time the courier left the command was
again moving forward. but the feeling was
general among the troops that the scouts
would require close watching. Chatto
was the 1hdlan VINO led the murdererS
of the McComas family in their
march of 1888. He has always been re-
garded as one of the worst of the Warm
Spring band of Apaches, and was with
Victoria in all the raids from 1879 to 1882.
He was the b.chief, ranking with BOnito
and NatcheZ, and had considerable influence
not only with his own band, but among
Chiricahuas. Not little surprise was ex-
pressed on the frontier, when it was learned
that Gen. Crook had placed so turbulent
spirit in command of his Indian scouts.
