GIEFFER CAUGHT.

Chief Yates received a telegram
Saturday morning from Sheriff Glynn,
dated at Sibley. Iowa, yesterday. say
ing that he had gotten his man, -
meaning Frank Gieffer, and would ar
rive at 3:23 o'clock this afternoon.
This news quickly spread and caused
lively satisfaction. Mr.. Yates took
the 1885 am. train, intending to
meet the sheriff at Window or some
other point along the Omaha line. and
return with him. The intention was
TO hustle Gieffer into the jail as soon
as possible. Extra precautions may
have been taken owing TO alleged
threats of Roway's sons TO anticipate
the law, should they have an oppor-
tunity.
Last evening postal cards contain
ing a description of Gieffer with a
reproduced photograph pasted on
were sent to all points within a radi-
Us of $50 miles. The police at various
points had been previously telegraph
ed to. Especial precautions were
taken to secure Gieffer. should he at
tempt to visit his wife at Spirit Lake,
Iowa, where it was expected that he
would make for 1t was in view of
this that Sheriff Glynn went to Sibley
which is near Spirit Lake.
1t is learned that Gieffer tried to
borrow $40 from men in Wheeler &
Benefits brick yard Wednesday, to
send to his wife in order to get her
back to Mankato.
RowaY passed rather hard night.
but was not much changed today
from what he was yesterday. a
slight Inflammation has set in, but
the physicians believe that he may
live for several days, though not eX-
pecting final recovery. An ordinary
man would not survived the awful
pounding which Roway received, and
it is owing to his splendid constitu-
tion that he is alive today.
Roway was reported to be uncon-
scious this afternoon.
Sheriff GlYnn arrived on the 3:27
train this afternoon with Gieffer and
lodged him safe in Jail. The passen-
ger train stopped at Walnut street,
opposite the jail where Gieffer was
taken Of,as trouble was feared ii they
went to the depot with him. A large
crowd had gathered there, but
no violence was offered. The prison
er would not admit that he com.
mitted the crime. neither did he deny
it. As he stepped from the train he
looked very pale.
There was report in circulation
late this afternoon to the effect that
Roway was dead, but this report had
not been confirmed when we went tC
press. 1t is simply question Of a
few hours when his sufferings will be
ended.

GIEFFER ADMITS 1T.
He Makes Confession Of His
Bloody Assault Upon ROWay.

Immediately after being placed in
jail Gieffer was visited by the county
attorney and two reporters, and to
them made a clear and distinct adj
mission of his guilt, giving the de-
tails of the assault and robbery.
He said: "wednesday night 1 went
to Roway's shanty and he asked ne
down town to drink. / only went to
Maddigan's saloon. Did not ask him
at any time to loan me money, nor
did l ask him which way he
was going home. l went to
the brick yard at a little after
midnight, pretty drunk and intended
to go to a shanty where l sometimes
sleep to get pair of working pants. |
picked Up hammer to break in the
window to get in, but lay down in the
brickyard shed and was almost asleep
when someone opened gate and
awoke me- / looked out into the
brickyard and saw Roway steal two
sticks of cord wood aud carry them
of. l told Roway to drop them
and he called me vile names, which
so angered me that l ran after him
with the hammer and struck him
several blows upon the head. After
he dropped l did not strike him again.
Hit him first upon the back Of the
head. Did not think l had hurt him
very badly. His pocket-book fell cut
of his pocket and l took S. from
it. I then went back TO the
Minneopa House. and went to wtrk in
the morning When | saw that Roway
was so bad, 1 was afraid and left the
city, walking to Lake Crystal. There
I took train for St. James, went to
Worthington. where | slept, and took
s. from my room mate, thinking that
his pants were mine. Invent to Spirit
Lake, found my wife, took her TO Sib-
ey. where the sheriff of that county
arrested me. When we got TO the
iail, he found that his wife had fallen
down stairs and hurt herself and let
ting 60 of me | skipped and ran half
2 block and fell down and vas again

ATTEND THE CAUCUSES.

The call for the Republican county
convention which we publish tonight
is formal notice for the opening Of
the local campaign. And this con-
yention is one that should receive the
personal attention of every Republican
in Blue Earth county. So far this
year the Republicans of Minnesota
have presented the people with clean,
strong. able candidates, and the tick
ct that will go before them fer their
approval or disapproval should be
completed with the same high aim in
view-that OF selecting the best men
for the positions to be filed, men
whose worth, integrity and business
qualifications commend them to the
general public. This can be done, if
the people interest themselves in the
matter and attend the caucuses. But
if they do not attend, but leave things
to be looked after by few politicians
who care only for their own interests,
then they the peoplel have no right
to complain if the nominations are
not of the high order that they think
should prevail.
But the people should attend the
caucuses, for here their voice will pre-
vail. Here they can have their own
way if they will: can smash any slate
that designing politicians may make,
and nominate ticket Of their own
free choice. In the caucuSes care
should be taken to select delegates to
the county convention who will truly
represent the views of the people. No
man should be put upon delegation
simply because he wants to 60: or be-
cause he thinks it an honor due him,
or his turn to serve his party, but be-
cause he is representative man OF
the party and if placed there will work
for the best interests of the people.
rather than obey the bidding of some
clique.
1t is absolutely necessary for the
best interests Of the Republican party
that the nominees for various county
offices shall be widely and favorably
known, thoroughly fitted for the po-
sitions for which they are selected,
and representative men Of the party.
No candidate should be allowed to be
the sole judge of his qualifications.
This is q matter for the people to pass
upon, and the caucus is where they
can have the chance so to do. The
FREE PRESS believes that the caucus
should be vast mass meeting of the
representatives of the party, rather
than quiet gathering of a few politi-
claus, for therein lies the strength of
the ticket selected, as 1t will be truly
representative Of the people.
The caucuses for the coming con-
vention will be held at a time when
the hurry and rush of harvest will
have been passed and there will
be absolutely no excuse for not at
tending TO those political duties that
are incumbent upon all true citizens

Little Toms Choice.

A certain small Tom was going out tC
luncheon by invitation. His mother was
anxious he should behave well, but wisely
recalling that simplicity is the essence Of
all true politeness, gave him but one eau
ton, Act, Tom, as if you were at home

and decline anything with polite No

"WelI, we had baked apples, and when
it came my turn to be served Mrs. G. said;
And now, Tom, which apple do you
want?'"
"You told her of course" interpolated
his mother, as the boy hesitated little.
"You know have often explained that it
is good manners to give choice when one
is asked"
Yes, mother, told her, and that was
the laugh. ! said, "The one ! want is

MINNEAPOLIs, June 4-Flsgs are
flying, banners are waving, streets

quarters and the leading politicians

Blaine boomers have taken possession
of Minneapolis just as they took
possession of Chicago in 1885, Then
it took stentarian mo" to quiet

purpose. Even the most ardent

unanimous nomination which they
say is impossible in the face of the
