CHICAGO DETECTIVES.
II is Asserted That They Have Captured
Tascott Again.


A dispatch of the 18th from West Sell
kirk, Manitoba, says: Tascott has been
captured at Lake Winnipeg. No par
ticulars are given. 1t is probable that
the right man has been captured at last
and that SMELLS murderer will be
brought to justice. Amos j. Stone,
the dead milhonaire's 8 son-in-laW, and a
party of four detectives from Chicago
have been here TOR nearly three weeks
working on the varions clues. It is
positive fact that Tascott was at
work near here for some time,
but he got tip in the way of
a telegram from Chicago just
after Mr.. Stone left there and skipped
out. A vigorous search was made of
the country Tor miles around, but ap
parentlv without picking up the slight
est trace of the fugitive. An effort was
made to interview Mr.. Stone, bat he
gave the reporters the slip and got
away.
A special from Winnipeg gives the
following more definite statement of
the capture Of Tascott: "Some Indians
arrived by dog train at O'Clock to-day
at West SelklTk, a place twenty miles
from this city, conveying the news that
1ascott, the murderer OF Smell, the Chi
cago millionaire, had been captured on
Lake Winnipeg by the Chicago detec-
ives, VINO, accompanied by relatives of
the murdered man, had been following
= strong clue, with the result stated. for
the past few weeks. They arrived here
just after Tascott left his work to 90, as
he said, to Dakota. However, they are
now reported to be on their way TO
this city with the captured murderer. :"
a dispatch received at 10 o'clock on
the night of the 10Th, from Selkirk, says
the Indians who brought the informa-
ton from Lake Winnipeg have gone to
one of the lodges at the reserve for the
night and cannot now be located.
Great excitement prevails among the
villagers at Selkirk, but many are disin-
clined to believe the report brought by
the Indians. The man who was traced
to Rat Portage by the Chicago party and
supposed to be Tascott is reported to
have gone North from that place, and
would undoubtedly strike Winnipeg on
his journey, as the country on the east
OF the lake is almost impossible.

IMPORTANT WATER POWER SUIT
Litigation at Sault Ste. Marie for the
Possession of Valuable Property

Possession of Valuable Property
Testimony has beer completed be-
fore Judge Grant in the circuit court at
Sault Ste. Marie, in the case of w. 2.
Spaulding VS.. VIM. Chandler, for the
possession of the best water power
property in the city and the land upon
which the Edison water power
canal is situated. The result
of this suit is being anxiously
watched, as it will settle the
title to considerable other property in
the city. Mr.. Chandler has been pos
sessed of the property since 1882. At
that time he received patent from th
government, he having filed PorterfelC
scrip on the land. Spaulding's claims
date from 1920. An old soldier by the
erty along the rapids, built shanty
$l.25 per acre required by law, and
received a receipt from the United
States land Office. The government,
however, refused to give patent, as
they claimed the land had been
reserved by the government as nation
al park. Adsit sold the property 10
Spaulding, who constructed a dock on
the land and made two applications for
a patent, but was again refused. The
property remained in ststu quo until
Mr.. Chandler filed scrip on it and
received a patent from government.
This is the beginning of number of
important law suits. The land in litigl-
ton in his suit is half mile of water
frontage on the rapids. and the best wa
ter-power property in the city. 1t ex-
tends from the head of the government
canal to the locks, and lies between the
new locks and the rapids. The Edison
Canal constructed on the property cost

J. G. Klein, the correspondent of the
Post Dispatch and the New York Wor' d,
who recently became conspicuous fig
re in the Samoan trouble, passed
rough st. Louis on the 18Th. After
getting his experiences in Samoa,
which have already been related in
Associated Press dispatches, Mr..
Klein SAID: "The Germans make light
of the American navy, but | tell you
they were not very aggressive when the
stars and stripes were waved in their
faces. Why, when they took Gillian off
the Richmond, on the ground that he
was a spy, Capt. Goetioson and Capt.
Hand sent word that, if he was not re-
turned at once, they would board the
Adler with anarmed force and take him,
and Gillian was promptly restored.

them up, but they did not dare to.
They were in neutral waters, and they
knew that 10 touch those boats meant a
fight Their manner towards every
one and every thing that was not Ger

offensive as it could be. They would
scowl at anv one they saw about the

Three Steel Concerns at Chibago Form =
Com bine.


A Chicago dispatch of the 18th saws:
The most important deal in the steel
trade ever made in Chicago was an
nounced to-day in the consolidation of
the North Chicago Rolling Mill Com
pany, the Joliet Steel Company and the
Union Steel Company. Negotiations
TO this end have been going
on for two months and they were prac-
tically concluded last week. The news
was kept very quiet, and only leaked
out through trade circles. The name of
the new company has not yet been de-
clded upon, but it VIII ne an en-
tirely new one. The capital will be
S2tOO,OOO, of which between 5000, 900
and 81, 900, coo will be issued for the cash
now III the treasures of the respective
companies, and the balance Will repre-
sent this valuation of the three
plants. Stock in the new compa-
ny will be distributed to the share
holders in the old ones upon the
basis agreed upon in their consolida-
ton. The combined works will form
the largest steel plant in this country,
and Will probably rank second only to
the establishment of Krupp in Ger
many.
Steel rails are the principal product
OF the mills, and in rail- making the new
company will find no competitor in the
West worth speaking of.
