Bowles played several parts in this city.
He registered here on May Is at
Browns hotel 1.-THE headquarters of the
Pinkertonsl as j. l.. Sanford, Lynch
burg, Virginia, and had dinner there.
The next day he dined at the Union
house, registering again as Sanford. 1t
was on the afternoon of May I5 that he
claims to have been riding with Geo.
a. Clark and the evening Of that day
that he hid the dynamite in the hedge,
his courage failing when he went to
put it on the track. Clark hired a rig
that afternoon, put his fishing rod IN
the wagon, but asserts that BOwles did
not ride with him, but a friend whom
he will name when the trial comes of.
Some people hesitate to believe Bowles'
story about the tearing of The grass
away from the foot of the hedge before
putting the cartridge there, and carry

| the cartridge, and noting so exactly the
surroundings, because they think this
could not be done on a dark night
Clark claims to be getting ready to have
a strong case all ready.

CHICAGO, July 2O.-Two of the an

are out of jail. Chlebowi and Chspek
furnished the required bonds of IS 600
each last night and have been released.
HnOrek, the arch-conspirator is still in

main. Inspector Bonfield says the case
is complete with the three arrests al
ready made. One or two others may
have known of the plot, but not to the
extent that they could be convicted.
ANY further arrests will be for the pur
pose of holding witnesses. The inspec-
tor denies the report of ChlebOWi's con-
fession. Chief Hubbard says that
sooner or later in searching the houses
of suspected Reds for dynamite he or
some of his men viii run against a

Death q Ast,. Genera, y.nk.n.

Gen. J. E. Jenkins, adjutant general
of the D. N. G., and treasurer of Brule
county. died At Vernon, NY, on Friday
the 14th inst.
For years Major Jenkins-he was
always called by his army title had
been a sufferer from consumption. He
went to Vernon-the home OF his mother
some weeks ago, via. the Great Lakes,
hoping q change Of air and scene would
revive his rapidly failing health. While
letters from him to the writer and others
partly prepared the public for the sad
news, the shock was none the less
sudden and on all sides-in the county
and territory wherever he was known
universal sorrow prevails at his
early death
Major jenkins was born IN Vernon,
N. Y. and was, at the time OF his death,
46 years OF age. He enlisted in the wal
OF the Rebellion Sept. A, 1861, Ist Lieut..
Of the Oneida N.Y9 Independent Cav.
airy Volunteers. He was afterward
promoted to Captain and Brevet Major
of the same command for gallant and
meritorious conduct. He was mustered
out June IS, 1856, after serving his
country honorably and well for nearly
four years. He was twice wounded at
Gettysburg, one of the wounds being q
bullet through the neck while leading a
charge. Major Jenkins came to Kim
ball in the spring of 1888. He was
elected the ( first commander of Reno
Post g. A. r. and it was largely through
his earnest work that the post was
brought into q prosperous existence.
In politics he was a Democrat. In 1884
he was elected county treasurer by an
overwhelming majority reelected two
rears later by an equal majority, re-
ceiving at both elections many compli-
mentary votes from Republicans. In
1887 he was appointed adjutant general
of the D, N. G.. He held both Offices at
the time of his death, and, it is almost
unnecessary to add. with full satisfac-
tion to all with whom he came in con-
tact in his official relations.
The death of Major jenkins will co me

Intimately; county and territory have
lost n OF its most honored and useful
citizens. He was the soul of courtesy,

He leaves a wife and five children.
They started for Vernon a few hours
before the news of his death was re.
ceiyed.
