THRUN HAS CONFESSED.
The Insurance SwindIer Gives His
Version of the Noted Case.

The Insurance Swindler Gives His
Version of the Noted Case.
CHICAGO, March GOV. J. Thrun
has made a written confession of the
details of the now celebrated insurance
swindle of Romeo, Wis. 1t is in pos
session of the detectives in charge of
the case and duplicates the general
assistant special claim agent of the
Wisconsin Central as chief conspirator.
Hansen was arrested by William Beck,
special agent of the New York Mutual
Life Insurance company, at the Wis
consin Central office in this city. He
was Immediately turned over to the
sheriff Of Romeo, who left for his home
last night. Thrun declares that Hansen
planned the swindle and
Furnished the Money
for carrying it out. Hansen had been
suspected by the detectives who have
been working on the case before Thrun's
confession was secured. The detectives
in the case think that Hansen has been
in communication with Mrs. Thrun
ever since her husba' DIS disappearance,
and if what Thrun says in his confess
sion be true, has directed her move
ments in getting insurance. His con-
nection with the Wisconsin Central
gave him plenty of opportunity of Wis
iting Romeo without attracting atten-
ton, and he therefore does not have to
use the mails. The detectives say that
Hansen acted uneasy when ThRun was
arrested and did away with all the pa
pers he may have had bearing ON the
case.

TO CORRECT FALSE REPORTS.
The Commercial Club After Troup
and Other Prevaricators.

The Commercial Club had a very
interesting meeting last Wednesday
night and transacted some very i'm
portant business.
Among other things it arranged
to take steps to counteract the effect
of the work of Captain Troup and
others who seek to divert travel
from its natural channel by sending
passengers around by way of the
Columbia river to Kaslo. 1t was
learned from gentlemen just from
Spokane that agents, presumably
workingin the interests of the Spo-
kane q Northern railway and the
G. q K. N. Co, were circulating re-
ports that the Kootenai route would
not be open for a month, and that
when it was only one steamer per
week would run, so that it was rep
resented that this route was wholly
unreliable.
A committee, consisting of r. w.
Hummer, J. G. Callahan and S. ID.
Tayler, were appointed to raise
funds to secure the insertion of an
advertisement in one of the Spokane
papers to keep the public posted as
to the advantages and conditions of
the Bonner's Ferry Kootenai River
route.
The executive committee made a
report on the subject of advertising.
They recommended that the bus
mess men of Bonner's Ferry be adj
vised to have printed on the back of
their letter heads synopsis of the
resources and advantages of Bon
ner's Ferry. The report was adopted
and several thousand letter heads as
above described were ordered for the
club.
A committee Of four, consisting of
Deputy Sheriff Doust, DR.. Barker,
health officer, VIM. Ainslie and W.
w. Cryder, was appointed to look
after the sanitary condition of the
city, and to see that the filth and
stencil and other nuisances about
the city were at once removed.
J. G. McRae, j. E. Dolan and S.
B. Wright were appointed special
committee to draw up a set of reso-
buttons favoring the bridging Of the
Kootenai and the speedy survey of
Bonner's Ferry township.
H. L. Car t IN, J. G. Call i a / and
VIM. Ainslie were appointed a COM
mittee to secure permanent quarters
for the club.
The club then adjourned to meet
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock sharp.

KENosHA, Wis, March a1.-Chris
Arentzen, maker of fireworks, his
father and boy who lived with Aren't
