a Tough Detective Says He Was Hired to
KIN CrOnin.
CHICAGO, May 2s.-The Daily Nelcs has
the following: Detective Robert Bruce,
who has been conducting private agency
in this city, walked into Lieutenant Hor-
race Elliott's Office this morning and said
that several months ago Alderman Nc
OOrmack offerod him 81, 100 to kill DR..
CrOnin. Bruce, who has just returned
from a three months stay in Texas, says
that Mccormack paid him 500 in advance
and agreed to pay the remaining $1,000
when the job was done. Bruce declares
that Mccormick told him to feign sickness
iu his Office and then send for DIR. Cronin
and kill him. Bruce says he took the
500, spent it for liquor and never made a
move toward carrying out the contract.
Bruce bears rather unsavory reputation
aud the police do not place all the reliance
in the world in his story. He has been in
numerous scrapes in this city.

Nation, and White Swan, principal ehiei
at Cheyenne, were in Pierre yesterday.
They conversed freely about the Sioux
bill, saying that it would be ratified. Only
one objection was raised, because the bill
did not give the Nation the south bank Of
the Cheyenne river, but the Indians will
sign, as the bill provides for the payment
in cash, and they want money more than
land
