Suspicion.
Denver dispatch: Late last night
man giving his name as Edward J. Car
ter answering in many respects the de-
scription Of Tascott. the murderer, was
arrested and placed in the Ienver Jail
on suspicion. He has been employed in
n Denver wine house rs bartender for
two weeks. He was arrested by order Of
\ man who had followed him for several
months through Oregon, Washington
Territory, California and Nevada, keep
ing him constantly in sight aud waiting
favorable chance 10 cause his arrest.
He has n scar on one leg and scars on
his elbows and one tooth is filed with
gold. In thu Sc respects and in general
appearance he answers the description
" Fascott. His accuser is an unknown
man.
The police this afternoon released
Carter on the ground that the resem-
blance 10 Tascott was not sufficiently
strong TO hold the prisoner Carter at
once resumed his position OF bartender
AZ the California wine house.
An hour after being released he was
rcarrested on warrants sworn out by y.
ii. Van Vlierden. charging him with be-
ing Tascott and fugitive from justice.
He was placed in the county Jail to
await further developments. The po-
lice claim that while there is a slight re-
semblance between Carter and the de-
scription given OF Pascott, they are pos.
tive this is not the man wanted. The
gunshot wounds on Carter's left arm
and right lee are not exactly in the
same place described on that OF Tascott
neither is the hair the same, Carter hav
ing very pronounced ''cowlick" whicl
Tascott has not. Carter will be heL
until he can give satisfactory explant
hon OF himself during the past mir
months or the arrival Of some one fra
Chicago able to identify Tascott.

RAILWAY ADVANTAGES !.

Yankton, by reason Of her location, is
the future center Of the most gigantic
railroad system in the West. If the
reader doubts this let him take a late
mapshowing the recent railroad develop
ments, and observe the following facts:
The trunk line of the Manitoba southwest
extends in almost adirect line from Duluth
to Sioux Falls and the survey from Sioux
Falls to Yankton is nearly completed;
the road will be built the coming season.
Again: the western terminus of the Main
Line Of the Illinois Central is now at
LIE Mars, Iowa, and the line between
LIE Mars and Yankton, straight west, is
already located and surveyed. Turning
SOUTH from Yankton, we find the Union
Pacific building a line from near Column
bus, straight north to Yankton, and this
line now extends to Norfolk, Neb., and
is little more than sixty miles south
from Yankton. We then have these
three great systems of road building to-
ward Yankton as a common center, each
with only sixty miles to complete. What
does this mean? A glance at the man
