CHICAGO, Feb. 1s.-It was rumored
about police headquarters late last night
that Cooney, 'the Fox" the man who is
so badly wanted as one Of DR.. Cronin's
murderers, had at last been captured.
All the police officials on duty retained
stolid silence, however, and no admis.
sions Of any kind could be gained from
them. The basis for the story that
Cooney has been arrested is a dispatch
received by Chief Marsh. The dispatch
was received at police headquarters and
transmitted to the chief. 1t read:
'We have our man sure. Send man for
Identification" On receiving the dis
patch Chief Marsh sent an order back
to headquarters Immediately as follows:
"Send Collins; he knows him, and don't
let this story get out" A late call was
made at Officer Collins home and il
was ascertained he had been called out
suddenly about 1880 p. m.
A morning paper says Cooney was ar.
rested last night at Hancock, Mich.
1t Is Not Cooney, "the Fox"
CHICAGO, Feb. 1s.--A new and most
important link has been picked up in
the Cronin murder case, and, from all
appearances, it is now reasonably GER
tain that the great murder conspiracy
will be thoroughly exposed. This link
consists in the arrest of one of the prin.
cipal actors in the terrible tragedy of
May 4. The man who is under arrest,
however, is not Cooney, "thc Fox"
as was reported, and he was
not arrested in Michigan. The
man who is said to have played more
important part than Cooney in the
bloody drama of the Cronin conspiracy
and butchery was arrested in st. Louis
last evening by Officer Thomas, of the
Central station. The man has been
sought long and vainly, and the au-
thorities had almost given up all hopes
of being able 70 capture him. Chief
Marsh was very reticent this morning,
and refused to confirm the reports.
There is no doubt, however, that an irn'
portant arrest has been made.

secured to the lands upon which it is to be
built work will commence. The committee
who came to the state to survey the differ

Park is by far the most promising. No
place has finer natural drainage or is
more accessible by rail and water commu-

any point on the st. Johns river.
