shall STANLEY and Chief of Police Melon
arrived in this city early yesterday
morning with John King and Charles
Waldevring. arrested at Oasselton, d. T.,
Saturday morning, for completely in the
murder OF George O. Haddook, on the
night of August 81. These men left
Sioux City about s O'Clock On the even
ing of Wednesday, August 4th, being
shut in a lstook car by parties connected.
with the st. Paul yards, and going
directly through to st. Paul. From that
city they went to Oasselton in q sheep
car, stealing o ride the entire distance.
They arrived in Oasselton Saturday
morning, and pretended to be in search
of work.
The city officials here have been hard
at work since the hour of the murder, and
striking this cine, worked it until they
had what they deemed suffi ,ient evil
dence to warrant the arrest of King and
Waldevring as members of the supposed
conspirators who plotted successfully
against the life OF Mr.. Haddock. Last
Thursday night Officers Stanley and
Melon took the lilo train for st. Paul
and without delay proceeded to Cassel-
tor, which is some distance above Fargo,
arriving there about daylight Saturday
morning, just n week after the arrival
of the men they went after. The officers
soon located their men, and Oh inquiring
of the postofioe ascertalned that there
was mail there addressed to them. Put.
ting the postmaster on to their mission.
they took up positions in the rear of the
Office and awaited developments
About 9 O'Clock in the forenoon
WaldevrlDg appeared and inquired
for mail. The postmaster gave
the officers a signal, and while he was
delivering the mail Marshal Shanle ley
stepped around in front and confronted
Waldevring, who did not seem at ali
disconnected, but who greeted him by
saying: "Hello. Stanley" The
marshal returned hts sulutation, and
said, II want you; where is Jerrys'
meaning King, who went by that name
part of the time. Melon was outside
by this time, and asked the same ques-
ton and Waldevring said, hes out
here" and going to the door King was
seen coming. not over half o block dis
tant. Melon met him and placed
him under arrest. Neither of the men
made any resistance, nor did they say
anything about o requisitIon, or ask
what they were wanted Tor, or whether
the officers had the proper warrants.
Mayor Cleland, Marshal Stanley and
Chief Of Police Melon. we're seen last
evening by a Journal reporter and the
question asked:
"Were these men arrested as nrinei.
pals or accessories to the crime?"
"They were arrested as members of a
supposed conspiracy whose object was
to kill Mr.. Handbook"
"Has the examination this afternoon
developed any facts thes will materially
aid the further investigation"
"We think So"
"Will you give al idea OF what these
facts are, or is il thought best to keep
that from the public for the present"
ut is not thought advisable to give
away anything at present." answered
the mayor.
"1he city officials have been hard al
work eyer since the crime was commit
ted, and these men we're arrested because
it WAS thought that they knew some
thing of the matter, and we think we are
not mistaken"
"Have any arrests been made in The
city to-day in this connection, as
rumored
sNo; there have been no arrests yet
"Then it is not true that a colored
man was arrested this m~orningp"
mo-"
as it probable that parties in the city
will be pulled in soonP
ut is best not to say anything about
arrests that have not been made.
The reporter then withdrew and went
to hunt news in another direction.
The most-talked rumor during the
day was to the effect that one of ths
parties arrested had "peached', and
given the whole matter away, but this is
certainly without u foundation,
