Catholic and the other Episcopal. The
Indians are about equally divided between

altogether i, 200head OF cattle. White Earth

district in Minnesota. The Indians living
there are anxious that their fellows should

DISCOVERED AT A 5


Chicago Dispatch OF the It'll says
The Minneapolis ~postoffce robbery mas
at last been thoroughly cleared up. Inc
prime mover, principal character, piannef
and executor OF the robbery is in the tolls,
having been arrested by Detective Marks
and Grangsr on West Washington street.
Ais name is Bobby" Adams. Although
a young man, he is known all over the
United States and England as one Of the
most adroit burglars and sale blowers WIN
whom the officials had TO dealln ten years
Adams Is as well known in New York as
Chicago. He il was who first conceived the
plot to rob the Minneapolis postomce: De-
fore doing this, however, he Is sald TO nave
come TO Chicago and arranged VITA II.
Fnnucane to handle and negotiate Ihs
stamps after the robbery. David ohanna-
han, in the South town assessor ONCE
and a Mr.. Moves were also said to be I'M
plicated in the scheme. At any rate, after
The discovery Of the steal and the recovery
Of the stamps they were arrested, but subse-
Cuen+ly released on their own recognlZance.
Fnnucans is still in Jail. These three men
have been so assduCusly pumped by the
officers that a ''~squeal' was made and
Bobby Adams was the person incrlm-
mated. He will be turned over to the
United States secret service officers to-day.
Six years ago Adams, at that time nine
teen wears OF age, was shot and danger
ously wounded while committing a burglary
at Allegheny City. He escaped for a time,
but was afterwards caught and given four
years in the Pennsylvania penitentiary.
After getting out he did some clever work
in New York city and came to Chi
eago, where he lived luxuriously for Ave
months. He then turned several
tricks here, and was arrested. The
case was a hard one to prove, and he got
of light. He then went East and to Eng
land, returning comfortably fixed as to
wealth. His fast life, however, soon squan-
dered his stealings, and again he took to
the field. Nothing was then heard OF him
until the $4,000 stamp robbery in Mime
apolis, and now that his pal has
''peaebed'' on him. he viii probably own
up TO the whole affoir. He is said by the
detectives to nave the finest set OF bur
glars tools ever manufactured. Adams
was taken before Commissioner Hoyne
and held in So, 600 bail.
