They ere Sick.
SAW THE WORLD.
A Dakota Farmer Turns Swindler
and Has Gay Time.


DETROIT, Mich, March Is. = Two
years ago Medad V. Miller was a farmer
in Huron, Beadle county, Oak. He was
wealthy and had good farm, and had
no difficulty in borrowing money. AT
the Union bank, of Huron, he obtained
$500 on chattel mortgage On cattle he
said he owned, and at another bank he
got 81, 200 by similar transaction. Then
he skipped for California, followed by
J. W. Campbell, one of the officers of
the Union bank. Miller learned that
Campbell was on his track and fled to
Australia. The bank traced his move
ments through Australia. the Mediter-
ranean countries and the Holy lands
and France, until he reached England,
where they lost sight of him. A few
weeks ago the bank received an anony-
the man it wanted was here and was
known by the initials an. NJ. "" De-
tectives Myler and Tuttle were put on
the case. They finally found that NJ. M.
VintOn, at 80 Beach street, answered the
description of Miller. They notified
Campbell and this morning he arrived
from Huron. The two detectives ar
rested Vinton and took him to the cen
trail station, where he was confronted
by the Dakota bank officer, who imme
diately recognized him. Miller or Vim
ton says he has got tired of wandering
about and he made no attempt to deny
his identity. He says he is perfectly
willing to go back to Dakota. He is
thirty-nine years old, an accomplished
linguist, and otherwise is g. finely edu-
Gated man. He says he got money
enough to see the world, and is now
ready to stand his chances of being con-
victed on the charge of SWindling.

TWO RIGHTS WENT WRONG,
Sullivan Injuries a Hand on Mitchelrs
Elbow.
THE LATTER ALSO UNLUCKY.
Patsy O'Leary Walks Out of Jail---Gen-
eral Review of Current
Sports.

A gentleman who took breakfast with
Sullivan and Mitchell the morning after
the fight says: Neither of the men
could have been suspected of having
fought over three hours. Mitchell's in
iuries were more observable, and the
blow from John LIS right hand in the
fourth round, when it dropped his OPP
ponent like felled OK, narrowly missed
the point of the jaw. This is his favor
tie blow, which procured for him the
title of knOcker-Out. Sullivan did not
have many about him. His upper lip
was still swollen from the frequent but
feeble visitatiOnS of Mitchell. Great
damage was done to the famous right,
and John l.. apostrOphized the Offend
ing duke in no very measured terms as
he held it up with difficulty. 1t appears
after the third round, when John had
spared to test the tactics of his oppO-
round. in which Mitchell narrowly es-
capped being knocked out, did for
Sullivan's right hand. In the next round
in swinging around his terrible
right caught the point of Mitch
ellis elbow, straining and bruising the
tendon of his arm. His right from that
moment was completely disabled, and
the remaining thirty-fOur rounds were
practically fought with one arm. At a
subsequent period of the battle, when
even money was taken, Mitchell met
with similar accident to that which
had married the chance of his opponent
and perhaps dulled his fame as a fistic
marvel. In leading off with his left,
Mitchell encountered the elbow of SuIl-
ivan and his duke went. He had to
nurse his right and rely Oh one hand, so
that the fight may be said to have been
not only One-Sided but a One-handed
affair. Sullivan was as gay as lark
during breakfast, singing snatches from
comic songs. He expressed the deter
mination of never entering the ring
again with a raw 'un." saying he
the future he will c0nfine his attention
to boxing competitions and glove fights.
In conversation he again asserted that
propositions had been made him for a
fight with Smith, in which he should re-
frain from knocking out the latter and
pave the way for some show sparring.
He declare he had Indignantly refused
the proposition and eXOnerated Smith
from any share in such diSgraceful Of
ferS.',
i LIVERPOOL, March 13.-John l.. Sulli-
van, who is staying at the house of his
friend Magnus, in TINS city, is too I'M
well to be interviewed to-day. Magnus
said: sin the fifth round Sullivan
made tremendous lunge at Mitchell's
face with his right. Mitchell threw up
his arm and SuIlivan's muscle came in
contact with Mitchell'S elbow. Sulli-
vans arm began to swell and it was use
less from that time out. Sullivan would
doubtless have won in canter but for
the accident"

CHICAGO, March ia meeting at
tended by representatives of the griev-
ance committee for each road leading
east from Chicago was held tonight at
McCoy's hotel. Extreme secrecy marked
the proceedings, and after the session
the thirty or forty men present refused
to answer any inquiries whatever.
Chief Arthur's headquarters at the
Grand Pacific were totally deserted all
the evening and were left unlighted.
The belief was expressed by a
group of railroad officials tonight
that the brotherhood has adopted new
line of action, against which legal pro-
ceedings will not avail. The idea is
that grievance committees will Ostensi
bly, assent to question of connecting
lines that 80" freight be handled.
When the test comes, however, the en-
gineers, one after the other, absolutely
decline to touch 20" car. This indi-
Vidual passive resistance has been APP
piled to a notable extent on the MilWau-
kee 4 ST. Paul road, and cropped out
to-day on other lines also with fire.
Quency that was suggestive.

The Republicans in Session
Yesterday Assess Party

Pillsbury Talks Of the Place
Of Meeting--A Roast for
HeatWole.

The GLOBE yesterday undertook to
ascertain whether the mention of w.
D. Washburn's name as a candidate
for president of the United States is to
be regarded as joke or not. The quick
est way is the shortest way, and Mr..
Washburn was yesterday asked bluntly:
''Are you candidate, and have you
sanctioned the use of your name in that
connecticut"
The protector of the $500 road
looked at his interrogation moment and
then replied:
mo, L am not candidate. The use
of my name was during my absence, and
l knew nothing of it,"
eff such contingency should arise
as might lead to your nomination, would
you refuse to accept it?"
swell, | never heard of any one re-
fusing nomination for the presi-
dency." he replied dryly.

a number of its provisions"
'How about Randall's bill?"

THE SINEws OF WAR.
The Republican League Consid-

The Republican League Consid-
ers the Assessment OF Promi-
nent Party Men.
The executive committee of the Re-
publican state league had an important
session yesterday. 1t was not large
meeting and its results were not fraught
with destiny to any great extent, but
still it was of the iveliest Importance.
The committee is composed of one men,
Der from each judicial district and the
president, secretary and treasurer. eX-
Officio, nineteen in all, with five neces-
Sary to quorum.
The following were present: T. E..
Byrnes, president state league; Tams
Iuth; d. w. Bruckart, ST.. Cloud; j. n.
Searles, Saltwater: w. d. Joubert,
Litchfield; M. ID. Mum, st. Paul: E. A.
Sumner, Minneapolis; George Nelson,
Glencoe; q. j. McManus, Crookston.
The session was strictly executive, and
not member would say word of what
TRANSFERRED. But the object was made
apparent in one sentence which was
overheard. as it came eXcitedly out over
the tranSOm:
''What shall we assess SABINE"
That told the tale. The meeting was
for the purpose of raising the sinews of
war, or, at least, OF deciding how the
sinews should be raised. Every man
who held or coveted state or national
office, conferred by the Republican
party, was entered on list, and as each
name was called the question was pro-
pounded:
''Well, how much for him?"
This took pretty nearly all day, but
the result was eminently satisfactory,
OIL paper. The prominent men were
put down for the limit, and the only
thing left is to do the collecting. The
committee adjourned fully satisfied
with itself and its results.

Stock is Going Rapidly.

Upwards of $4,000 worth of stock
subscribed for" Such was the an
nouncement made in Mayor Smiths
Office yesterday afternoon at gather
ing of stockholders in the new Athletic
Park association, and during the in
formal talk that ensued it was stated
that the remainder of the stock was in
fair way to be taken, thus assuring the
success of the enterprise.
Secretary Mum was unable to be
present, hence the subscription books
were not turned over as had been eX-
pected, and the names of those who teS-
titled their practical interest in the prof.
ect were not revealed, and an adjourn
ment was agreed upon until this after
noon.

NO SIGNIFICANCE.
Gov. Pillsbury Says the Meeting
Place Means Nothing at All.


Some attempt has been made to man
ufacture political significance out of the
fact that the Republican state commit
tee has called its meeting at the Ryan,
instead of the Merchants, st. Paul, as
customary. john s. Pillsbury, the
chairman, upset the theory completely.
cit is simply matter of conven-
ience," said he. "There never was a
proper place of holding meeting at the
Merchants. The rooms they have given
us have been poorly suited to our pur-
pose, small and publ at the Ryan
they can accommodate us much better.
A number of the committee stop at the
Ryan any way, and could attend meet
ings there more conveniently. 1t is not
certain that future meetings will be
held there. One of the reasons why the
Merchants has always been chosen was
that Col. Allen, who used to run it, was
an old settler and well known to most
of us. Politically both hotels are DEM
ocratic. did not know that MIR. Mer-
riam was at the Ryan, and did sup
pose that Gov. McGill was there, so you
can see how wide of the mark any such
political guesswork is. There is abso-
Iutely nothing political in the move"
Gov. Pillsbury talked politics a little,
but said nothing that has not already
been used in connection with his name.

they have pull into the station with six
or seven passengers in coach.
The freight business claimed to be
done by the company is largely a
bluff. At Pacific junction last
week train of twenty-five freight caIs
labeled Through California freight
steamed in. A brakeman opened five
of the cars and found each OF them
empty. That's the kind of freight that
is carried"
''Did you find any engineers who had
Weakened?"
''No, but learned of two instances
in which the company offered great In
ducements for brotherhood engineers to
go to the 60" Last week G. Il. Hold
ridge, general manager Of the Burllng--
ton 81 Missouri offered a brotherhood
engineer named j. w. Jackson, run
ming on the Union Pacific, a bonus of
$500 and lifetime position at $3.50 per
day if he would go to work on the Bur-
lington d Missouri. Jackson refused,
of course. Ben McGonigal, running on
the Fremont, Elkhorn u Missouri Val
ley road, told me of the tactics adopted
by the company at Creston, To-, to get
him to work on the West Iowa division
OF the Burlington. McGonigal had
OCOA u W CnCCt OuO pu'ShoCS
of lot at Creston for the benefit
of his mother. He was willing to pay
$3.50 for it, but the owner refused to sell
for less than $500. After an unsuccess-
full effort on the part of the master me-
chanic at Creston to get McGonigal to
take an engine, the Burlington and
agent of the company went to McGoni-
gals mother and offered her clear title
to the property if she would INDUCE her
son to work for the company. No, the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy wants
engineers, and it wants them bad. L
saw but one Reading engineer on my
trip. Twelve new engineers who had
been taken West left the company last
week Those that remain are causing a
great loss to the company from inability
to properly handle an engine. Six
burned-out engines were removed the
latter part of the week from Lincoln to
Plattsmouth. They were taken there
by night to prevent them being seen by
the public"

JUMPING ON JOEL.

IDENTITY Is Not Stuck on Heat

A Member of the League Evil
IDENTITY Is Not Stuck on Heat
wOle.
One of the members of the executive
committee talked interestingly, yester-
day. He said:
Gone not familiar with Minneapolis
politicians or politics would naturally
become impressed with the exeusable
supposition that Joel P. Heatwole was
the constituted mOuthpiece of the Re-
publican party of Minnesota, especially
if his Judgment wasGformed by reading
the political gossip in the Sunday is
sues Of the GLOBE and Pioneer Press.
But the old timers, who bear the
more substantial support than
mere mouthings, and whose names
are seldom observed in cold type, know
Joel p. Heatwole only as an accidental
and abbreviated clerk of the Republican
state central committee, whose chief
characteristic is to stop at the Merchants
hotel and at once send for some reporter
to interview him upon the all-absOrbing
topic of my blonde mustache and how
near came to be the successor of Sell
ator Davis as member of the ma
tional committee. Joel p. is a sleek
looking, dudiSh young man,
whose figure is clothed in
the most modern cut tailor garments,
silk tile, whose glossy heights chal-
lenges the most mosqueto expert to
traverse its surface; a bold, curling
mustache cut a la Napoleon, and lofty
air that inSinuateS. Il am what l am,''
while his eyes have a far distant look as
if his mind was contemplating all the
intricacies and problemetical possibil-
tiles or probabilities of the universe of
which he imagines himself the central
figure. His political utterances are
given with all the sly secret
iveness of a fly walking through
bowl of soup, whereas if
one could buy his knowledge at a mar
ket value and sell it for what he himself
thinks it is worth, it would be far
more profitable investment than dab
bling in Minneapolis outside acres. 1t
is the superciliousneSs and inordinate
vanity of men like HeatwOle, whose
good will never be inferred with their
bones,' that has caused the ambitious
young Republicans of the state to be-
come conspicuous by their absence at
political gatherings, which some day
must be controlled by them, and it is the
daily wish of thousands that Joel p.
HeatWOle give us rest"

them this afternoon.
d. G. j. COLLINS
This was III pursuance of the decision
reached by the grievance committee of
the Chicago, Milwaukee, & st; Paul at
three days session held in Chicago last
week. That decision is one of the many
facts that the brotherhood has carefully
suppressed. The joint committee of
engineers and firemen after long ses-
sion decided to handle 90 freight, and
the individual members Of the commit
tee reported their decision back to the
various subdivisions. With hardly an
exception the subdivisions rejected the
report of their delegates and declared
that they would refuse to handle go"
freight. Several of the delegates ten
dered their designations and were sup
ported by the more radical enginemen
The peculiar state of affairs was reported
to the strike headquarters and a
meeting of the grievance committee
ordered for tomorrow. This was the
situation when Division superintendent
Collins issued the order. There were
exactly Seyenty-fve cars in the Milwan-
A tpa nf
was made up and hauled nearly to
Western avenue before the engineer, j.
X. Henry, was informed that he was
handling Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
cars. He stopped his engine, pulled the
coupling-pin and ran his engine to the
round house. The yardmaster tele-
phoned the news to Division Superin-
tendent Collins and was instructed to
find an engineer who would take the
boycotted train over to the Burlington
yards. He called upon two brotherhood
engineers. and was given an empha tic
refusal. He finally found non-brother-
hood engineer, who consented, but
was checkmated by the brother
hood fireman, who refused. The yard
master gave it up as a bad job.
and the twenty-nine cars still stand
within sight of Western avenue. This
was decided surprise to the Milwau-
kee officials, who had been notified that
the two brotherhoods had no objection
to their handling Q freight. An i'm
mediate investigation was instituted,
and as result, an informal conference
was held last night between j. Dough-
erty, of the firemen; Thomas j. Muir
ply of the engineers, and the following
officers of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
