Murderer Tascott Said to be Hiding Near a
Minnesota Town.

Murderer Tascott Said to be Hiding Near 4
Minnesota Town.
ST. PAUL, MINI, March l6 Word
comes from Boulder, on the Wicks branch
OF the Northern Pacific, thirty miles from
here, that Tascott, the murderer Of mil
lionaire Smell, was recognized there yester-
day.
According TO the report, man who
knew Tascott few yesrs ago thought he
recognized him and spoke to him. TascOtt
at first denied his identity, but arterward
acknowledged it, az he saw from his friend +
manner that he knew nothing Of the mur.
der.
Shortly after, Tascotts frierd, who has
been on the range for the past two months,
picked up paper and saw the advertise
ment, Offering SIC, 900 reward. He imme'
diately started out to find Tascott, but dis
covered that he had left town. A party OF
twelve has been formed to scour the neigh
borhoOd, which is quite mountainous.

so r,E A. the RgGIsTER has observed
the tendency among the Democracy ei the
S,,,s u L, elsc. their delegate at large 10
~, :, i,sis Convention at their District
c,,v,p,f,,s AMI tia. Is probably what
-, s.. Executive Committee will
r.c,nmsnI al IL meeting next Tues
dsy. T. ius, so happens that saen
a plan is sleasable in thisState because there
are but four Congressional districts Inc
only other States in the l niou that could
pursue the same course ara Name and
Connecticut, as they have, like West ' II
gipis. lust six electoral votes. There Is
little question hut delegate State ConVen-
tiop. we'll attended, would be the most &C
ceptabIe plan ordinarily, because 1t gets all
mart. Of the STATE together and the fsvors
would be showered upon Tie gentlemen
best alap:cd to represent the State at 50
grand q gathering as National
Democratic Convention, regardless OF
geographical location. The district plan
is therefore restricted and unrepresenta-
tive To TIA. extsat. GA the other hand 1t
is claimed tn; our people want to avoid
the expeuse OF travelling q lOGg distance,
and If a State Convention were recon
uenled. the attendance would be light
and therefore no L,ir expression 0i preieI-
enee possible. While that view OF 1t has
great weight in theory, it does not
pan out IN practice. -Four
years aso thers was a convention at
Charleston 20 send delegates TO the Ma
tioasl Convention that was about as lively
and a. we'll attended convention IS ever
assembled. But, as was said at the outset,
the weight Of opinion appears in favor Of
the district conventions this year. So that's
the eud Of IT,

got my information from a young
man who has been for some time a
brakeman on suburban passenger
train OF the Northwestern railway.
He is very efficient and popular
man, and when he told me he meant
to resign | asked him what the reason
could be. "Well," he said, al have
been told by the Superintendent that
stand no chance of promotion, as
didn't begin right. Was fool enough
to think that IL took this place and
behaved myself would one day be the
conductor of the train.
but | find that have been
euchred by a sort Of civil-service rule
that is enforced in all the companies.
This rule is that in order to become a
conductor OF a passenger train q fell
low must begin as brakeman on q
freight train, then he must be brake
man on Il passenger train. and then o
conductor ON passenger train. If Q
fellow begins as brakeman on q pas
senger train, the way did, he will
not be promoted in a century. l never
knew it until the other day, but | an
told that this rule is so well estab
lished that the company does not dart
to violate it, except in cases OF obvi
Gus necessity. So | guess / will 60.
