THE CATCHER CAUGHT.
A Kansas City Detective Arrested while
Trying to Nip an Embezzler. "


A Kansas City Detective Arrested While
Trying to Nip an Embezzler
HELENA, Mont, Nov. al. a.
Young, detective from Kansas City, ar
rived in Great Falls last Thursday with
o requisition for the arrest of L. B.
Smith on charge of embezzling $4,000
placed in his keeping while he was in
the real estate business in that city.
Smith is. now in the employ of the
Great Northern railway as claim agent.
Young was about to take Smith away
by force when he was advised that he
had better get the governor of Montana
to countersign his papers. While
Young was looking for the sheriff
Smith took train for the east. Young
took the same train and had Smith ar
rested by the sheriff of Chouteau county
and put in Jail Saturday. Smiths
friends furnished bail in $4,000 for him
and he was released Saturday. Young
came to Helena to get the governor to
sign his requisition papers. The gov
ernor refused to sign until Smith could
have hearing.
Sunday night, however, the detective
was arrested and shut up in the county
Jail here. The charge against him is
attempt at kidnapping.
An officer from Great Falls came
after him yesterday and took him tc
that city for trial. Governor Richards
refused to honor the requisition on the
ground that Young is not a proper per.
son to take care of the prisoner.

Down With Bricks.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2.-Dave Jack
son, coloreG, who was reported TO have
been lynched in st. Tammany parish

under what circumstances noone seems
to know. Jackson was arrested for
wife beating. He defed the sheriff's
posse which went after him, and hit
one OF them over the head with an ak,

formed around the Jail and wan.ed to
lynch him, but was dissuaded from do
ing SO by the man whom he had hurt.
1t has several times been reported that
Jackson was lynched, but always de-
MED. Last week the keys of the Jail
were stolen and Jackson simultaneously
disappeared. It was reported that his
friends had assisted him to escape and
that he had left the parish. Nothing
was heard of him until Tuesday, when
the body of a dead negro was found
floating in the Tchefuncta An exam
nation showed that it was Jackson;
that he had been lynched some days
ago and the body afterwards taken
down and thrown into the river with a
heavy bag of bricks tied around his
neck The bricks had become partially
disengaged and Jackson's body came
to the surface and betrayed the lynch
ing. There is no clew to those who did
it, and SO the jury declared which sat

The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1893-05-27

A Moscow special to the Boise
Statesman says:
It's learned tonight that the big
urn OF Mcconnell, Mcguire & Co.,
which was closed by the sheriff one
month ago, will probably open it,
doors in a few days. When the
petition in insolvency was fled
Immediately after the failure, the
court appointed Friday next for
the creditors to prove their claims
and select one or more assignees,
and their representatives will meet
here at that time and make q
definite settlement.
Governor Mcconnell is in town
and says the firm will be able to
meet all obligations if allowed to
reopen under its own name, but if
this cannot be done anything
reasonable will be acceptable,
although if the business ia in the
hands of an assignee an un-
necessary expense will be incurred
and in consequence lessen the
assets.
There has been a disposition on
the part of some creditors to prevent
an amicable settlement, believing
their interest would suffer if any
such course was pursued, but the
time has now come fol. an under
standing and some arrangement
will be made at the meeting.
1t is earnestly hoped by thou
sands of residents ofthis commune
ty that the firm will soon get on ito
feet again, as the withdrawal Of
the big house from business will
cause great hardships on not only
members Of the firm, but the
employees, the monthly pay roll
amounting to several thousand
dollars. Last year the retail sslse
amounted to $3.50 900. the =1ssssssst
in Idaho. and the present situation
and its influence on trade is at
once manifest.
