DEATH OF PETER MUELLER.
Pneumonia Adds Another Victim to ITS
Long List

Pneumonia Adds Another Victim to ITS
Long List.
After five days of intense suffering,
two of which were passed in an I'M
conscious state, Peter Mueller passed
away at 1915 O'Clock Tuesday night.
Pneumonia was the cause.
Mr.. Mueller first felt the pangs of
the dread disease on Thanksgiving,
but insisted that it was merely a
slight attack of rheumatism, and when
on Friday, his wife wanted to summon
physician, he objected, saying that
it was no use las the rheumatism would
soon pass away. On Saturday even
ing his condition became alarming,
and DR.. Pease was at once sent for.
The doctor at once pronounced the
case one of pneumonia, and recogniz
ing the fact that it was almost fatal
with person of Mr.. Muellers age
and health, he summoned DR.. Finn
for consultation. The latter also saw
that Mr.. Mueller was really beyond
human help. Slowly the patient de-
clined and on Monday passed into a
state of Inconsistencies He never
recovered from this condition and
amid intense suffering, and leaving a
wife and child and two step sons to
mourn his loss, he passed away at the
time stated above.
Every person that knew Peter
Mueller will recognize in him man
ner Of tender heart and genial dispo
sition. Ever on a level with his fell
low men when he saw one of them
suffering he was the first to give re-
lief. And as with the outside world
50 was he in domestic circles. A deep
love for his wife and children his con
slant aim was to promote their hap
piDess. A loving husband and father
and respected citizen were his quail
tiles qualities, if possessed by all
would make this a happy world in
deed.
Mr.. Mueller was born in Germany
about 81 years ago, and to Redwood
Falls about ten years ago.

THE VISALIA ROBBERY.
George COntant Admits That He is 8
MankatO Mantle Chase After
the Others Results in the Death
of Another Sheriff.

The chase after the supposed Cali
fOrnia train robbers is not yet over,
and the two men. Sontag or Contant,
Evans have temporarily succeeded in
and eluding pursuit. according to dis
patches Sunday. One party return
ed yesterday afternoon but were in
structed to keep still. One or two
other parties are still out and it is be-
lieved that the first party will start
out again with pack animals prepared
to camp on the trail of the robbers.
They brought back to the town
the cart which John Contant secured
of Ward, having found the outfit in
the bed of creek. 1t was reported
that the party overlook the fugitives
and were less than eight yards from
them when one young man could
not resist the temptation of taking a
shot at them. The section of the
country where the pursuit is taking
place is wild and rugged and affords
an easy chance for concealment.
In an encounter Saturday, when
Contant and Evans were found at a
farm house belonging to man named
Ward, sheriff named Beaver was
shot dead and the men again escaped
taking a mule and cart.
The testimony at the coronor's in
quest over Beavers remains develop
ed the fact that while eating break
fast at Wards place the train robbers
were very watchful against any sur
prise and kept their guns handy for
use. Contant was very lame and tired.
One man testified that Contant told
him that he shot Beaver. The jury
returned a verdict that Beaver came
to his death from gun wound inflict-
ed by Chris Evans and John Sontag.
1t is now stated that both the Con-
tant boys we've in Mankato just be-
fore the Kasota robbery. and that a
stranger believed now to be Evans, but
then giving the name of Nolan or
something similar, was here at the
same time. 1t is said that the Con-
tants made statements of their
wealth, which they ascribed to gold
mineof theirs in California.
At the inquest Ward testified that
Chris Evans and John Sontag came
to his house Saturday morning be-
tween and o'clock and demanded
breakfast and a team offering to pay
for the same. The men were armed
with shot guns and six shooters.
Evans said he shot a man in Visalia.
and claimed to be innocent of any
crime. They said they had plenty of
provisions in the mountains.
We were slightly in error Saturday
in stating that Contant had been ar
rested and taken to St. Paul on the
charge of counterfeiting. The rec
ords of the municipal court show that
on Feb. 10Th, 1889, a warrant was is
sued on complaint Of Abraham Lieb
for the arrest of Herman Dreher and
George Contant on the charge of
counterfeitipg. Dreher was arrested
and turned over to the United States
authorities and was afterwards dis
charged. Contant, who is the Geo.
Sontag referred to q the Visalia
dispatch, could not be found by the
officers, having left the city presum-
ably to avoid arrest.
