make the arrest and bring back the
wanting Minneapolitan.
This whole matter has not been en-
tered upon by these two men in hurry,
as they began their planning as soon as
il was given out that the Journals eX-
pedition with the blotting spad had
failed. They have laid their plans
with much consideration. have examined
all the different reports and clues, and
have decided upon their course after
due reflection.
Sheriff Eye knew he would be missed
by the newspaper men if he should sud-
denly go away, and he knew equally as
we'll that if there was the slightest IN
quiry made the conclusion would at
once be reached that he had set out in
quest of Menage, which, he argued,
would not be favoable to h is plans, as
any small publication would be
enough to put Mr.. Menage on
his guard. He therefore set about
to invent scheme whereby he
could account, through his deputies, for
last tor some time. In view of this he
became suddenly quite i'll yesterday,
and last night it was given out that he
was going to the Hot Springs at Arkan-
sas to seek medical treatment. In view
of the fact that lie has been
there before for treatment. it
was thought that this story
would be sufficient for the guilibe and
unsophlsticated newspaper reporters
and make the sheriff secure in his
undertaking. One thing he had failed
to provide for. however. and that was to
depart at some time different from that
when Mr.. Bracket left. Together they
left last night, and this at once showed
that they have departed on their secret
mission.
1t is generally believed that even if
the departed gentlemen find the man
for whom they are looking so intently,
still 1t Is question whether they will
be able to bring him back again or not.
In that part of the country 1t is said
that money will accomplish anything,
and If MIR. Menage has all the money he
is reputed TO have taken with him he will
doubtless have an easy time resisting
Messrs. Eye and Brackett, who are
entire strangers to the country, with
means that are very limited, judging
from the fact that it is the reward
offered by the county commissioners
that has urged them Oh to make this ex-
petition.
The county attorney expresses entire
ignorance of the mOvement,it is claimed
by Assistant Hall, who said last night
regarding the matter:
"Oh, pshaw! there is nothing in this
story. Mr.. Eye has simply gone to the
Hot Springs, as he said ne would. The
newspapers have only found another
wrong scent, for who would be so fool
ish as to think that Menage would be
caught now that he has been warned
once?"
How long Messrs. Eye and Bracket
intend to be gone has not been made
known; still, if they accomplish what
they set out to do they will doubtless
spend the greater part OF month
among the natives of Central America
and other places.
The friends whom the Journal is
seeking to aid by preventing Menage's
arrest have. doubtless, already advised
the fugitive that the officers are after
him.and this will greatly facilitate their
work. In fact, it will probably make it
a bio ting-pad success, and show the
brilliancy of the sleuths in again taking
the paper into their confidence after it
had worked its graft SO deftly on the
county attorney. and made him the
laughing stock of the community.
Now that Menage knows that Sheriff
Eye and Bracket have started for him
he will probably have his laundry work
done, and be right there with clean
shirt waiting to come back with them.
