MAY Be THE MISSING LINK
LEADING TO TIE APPREHENSION or
THE HARRIS My3DERERS.
MYSTERIOUS .ssLIM,, IN LIMBO.

The Noted Crook Rounded Up In
ST. Loais and Held for Extra
dition-The Trial of Reed and
"opeck" White Reset Ycster-
day-Dugan an Ex.3tiIlwater
Convict.
The arrest Of James Dugan. alias
"Slim," in st. Louis, the mysterious
parsonage for whom the authorities
have been on still hunt for several
months, an account OF which appeared
in yesterdays issue of the GLOBE, BIDS
fair to add the missing link i'll the chain
or evidence surrounding the Harris
murder. Dick Reed and Joe White are
now awaiting trial on the charge, the
case of Reed being called yesterday for
reSetting. F. F. Davis, attorney for
Reed, wanted the trial set for all early
date, and after some controversy Doth
the cases OF Reed and White were set
for Jan. %.
Dugan will be ex.radited at once. and
Sheriff Eye is highly elated over his ar
rest.
Duyan is all eX-convict, and was re-
leased from u years term in Saltwater
short time before the murder. He was
sent UP from st. Paul, where he had
been convicted of burglary.
Dugan's home is i'll st. Louis, and he
mate his way 10 that town shortly after
the police began to look for him here.
When i'll the Northwest he made his
headquarters III ST. Paul, and is well
known to tile police of the Twin Cities.
The man is also said TO be wanted in
San Francisco for burglary, and re-
ward of $500 has been hanging over him
for some time.
With the capture of this man, but one
OF tie suspected murderers remalns to
be taken. 1t can be said almost tn q
certainty that they are the right parties,
but the rub will come when the time
comes TO prove it to jury. The evil
dence Of The dead man. who took the
watch from ''Slim," would have been
conclusive in fastening the crime on
them. but. as it IS, strong doubts are
expressed in some quarters as TO the
ability of Sheriff Eye to substantiate his
case. Just what connection Lovely
Dick Reed had i'll the affair cannot be
told. 1t was early suspected that these
two men knew all about the murder,
and close watch was kept OH their move
mentS for weeks. The death of the st.
Paul man put things in condition
where proof of guilt would be difficult,
if not impossible. to obtain, and Sheriff
Eyes pinch may prove futile, unless
one of the men can be made to confess.
Deputy Sheriff Ben Eye went over to
st. Paul yesterday and presented the
reQuisitou papers 10 the governor for
his signature. This obtained, he mailed
the papers to Sheriff Eye, who is now i'll

THEY BURNT THE WIRES.
a Useless Expenditure of Money
Over the Judgesh:p.

1t is stated on good authority that be-
tween Friday and Monday the sum OF
500 was expended 10y the adherents of
Gjertsen and other Republican candi-
dates for the judgeship. IN sending in
telegraphic messages 10 Gov. Nelson at
his home near Crookston. 10 slow how
strong they were. In fact, the
friends of one of the canal dates,
who was not in it after all, made
a canvass or South Minneapolis last
Monday night. and The name of every
prominent Scandinavian in the district
was attached to a petition, the contents
of which were wired to the governor.
In referring to the appointments a
well-knOwn politician said yesterday
that ii was mistake to accredit the ap-
pOintment Of Judge Elliott to an &C
cident- On the contrary, the same
authority stated ;hat the friends Of
Elliott got in their work in a quiet way,
anu that he had a certain backing whose
demands, when once made, could not be
ignored. As al Illustration it was cited
that Elliott had been o candidate at the
time Judge JamisOn was appointed.
From a Democratic standpoint gen.
eral satisfaction is expressed, as now
that the governor has placed himself
on record, the party knows just where
1t stands, and hereafter no quarter will
be given. As good all-around jollier,
or worker of the political shell game,
Gov. Nelson is entitled to the little ball.

visits him frequently and speaks words
OF comfort 10 the condemned man. Dur
ing Father O'Conn@l's stay of twelve
years in this city two coIored men have
been hanged, and it has fallen to his lot

death. The death watch walks back
and forth In front of his cell. and he is
not given any opportunity TO even try
to escape. Lizzie Evans, wife of the
condemned man, came from her home in

Value of Property, as Shown by
the Report of the City Assessor.
City Assessor Plummer completed his
annual report yesterday. On account
of only the personal assessment being
made last year, the report is necessarily
brief.

$50, 400, 002 personal property, which the
state board reduced only s4l7,951. The
total value of the property in this city,
real aud personal, for purposes of taxa
ton, is Sal :6OO,5Ol,, after allowing for
all exemptions. The department has
left s6O1.45 of the 1898 appropriation.
In short time Capt. Plummer will be-
gin work on the real estate assessment
for 1894, which will he finished by the
