HAS REED CONFESSED :?
TIE COUNTY OFFICIALS ARE ELATED
OVER NEW EVIDENCE.
rEsE SUSPECTS IDENTIFIED.

One of Them Has Weakened and
tho State Feels Sure ConVic-
ton OF All Will Follow in Short
Order-Joe Feely is Wanted
He Knows Great Deal About
the Harris Case.
Sheriff Eye and certain members of
the county attorneys office paid visit
asst night 10 the cell occupied by Reed,
the Harris murder suspect. When they
came out they appeared highly elated,
and the sheriff rubbed his hands in ill.,
visible water as he leaned forward and
whispered to Assistant County Attorney
Hall:
1T came easier than expected"
Thereupon Mr.. Hail smiled grimly
and washed his hands in water, equally
as invisible as that used by the Sncritf.
What these two gentlemen meant must
be conjectured. 1t is supposed they mad
reference To Senii-cOnteSSion, or
promise of one, extracted from Reed.
At any rate, the county officials are
cungratulating themselves over lot uf
additional and corrUburative testimony,
which they claim will almost convince Il
jury OF the guilt of the four imprisoned
suspects. A portion of this testimony
did not come to the surface until yeSter-
day, and last night deputy was dis
patched TO st. Paul to arrest Joe Feeiy,
the miller, who Is under Indictment for
perjury in connection with. this same
Harris case. Feely will be utilized AS a
witness, and il is hoped he Will give IN
and assist in sending the other men over
the road. BY doing this he may escape
punishment as an accomplish before
and after the fact.
The evidence secured yesterday fixes
the Identification of the four men. Reed.
! White, Dugan and Lyons, also that OF
Feely. 1t is known that one of the
| quntette had been with Harris the day
/ previous to the murder, and that III the
evening they all met at Jim Sherldan'S
saloon, where it was decided to recon-
hotter the Harris premises. The four
suspects went over. AMI the next night
made another trip. and it was then the
job was done. Inc county officials say
/ they have discovered which one of the
four men fired the fatal shot, and which
one grappled with Harris. They also
admit that one of the Quartette has
weakened, and that his story duplicates
them all. Such being the case, there
will be merry war when the cases come
| to trial.
Joe Feely, who is out on bail, is sus-
pected of knowing a great deal, and
| that is the reason the county author
| tiles are so anxious to have him in
! quod. At the time of the murder
! Feely worked III one of the local mills.
! he stopped at 239 Third avenue south.
with woman named Lottle, who has
since disappeared. 1t is understood
she was enam0red of one OF the crooks
at present in jail, and that she also
looked with favor on Feely. 1t was al
| this house the men stopped Oh the
| night of the murder, and 1t was there
! they remained under cover for several
days when the police were looking for
the murderers. 1t is not claimed that
| Feely was one of the party that entered
the Harris residence, but it is claimed
lie knew all about the matter, both
! before ana after the tragic event.

Neyln Mackenzie Scott. chief of Clan
Gordon No 50, is a typical Scotchman.
Born i'll Wigtonshire, Scotland, in 1858,
J uSt across the border from the BIRTH
place and home OF the poet Burns. on
the picturesque Loeb Ryan, than which
Scotland has no more beautiful bay. His
Doyhood d avs were passed in the pure,
Tree atm oSphere of the bonny hills OF
Scotland, his rambles oft times taking
him through the very scenes immortal
lied by Burns. In 1883 MIR. Scott bid
farewell TO his lain countrie'' to seek
his fortune in the new world. After
soJ0urnlng few months at Providence,
X l..
where, with characteristic elanniShness,
he soon became prominent member in
Clan Stewart of that city. Moving to
Minneapolis in 1890 he became connect
ed with the large house of William Don
aldson u Co. No sooner had MIR. Scott
been settled here than he began to use
! his influence and efforts to organize a
clan among the many Scotchmen III
| Minneapolis, and in December, 1891, he
, succeeded i'll organizing Clan Gordon.
! He Is young man of strong character
| and steady habits and has faculty of
making and keeping friends, character
| lStlc OF his Scotch nature. 70 his un-
| firing efforts and Jealous work the sue
! cessful condition of Clan Gordon, which
is now one OF une strongest clans in the
| Northwest, is largely due. Although
| elected to the high office of CHIEF of the
clan he never sought it and only upon
the unan. nous desire and solicitation OF
the clan was he finally induced to ac-
cept IL.

set, Ky, has put forward claim, and

Minneapolis detectives from the
officer who corresponded with Super
intendent of Police Smith and Post
master Hale concerning the men.
Previous 20 giving the information to
the detectives he traced the men from
Oakhale to Charleston, S. G. He says
he has written to Minneapolis number

TIN LOONEY'S CASE.
There Was Gross Neglect on Some
Dody'S Part.

That the city needs police surgeon
is we'll shown in the case of Tim Loo
ney, no was allowed to remain over
night i'll the South precinct police sta
ton with br oxen arm and dislocated
shoulder, without medical attendance.
Inc pauper policy of the present ad-
mlnistration cut off the police sur
geUn and threw the work on the CITY
physicians poorly paid department :.
Owing to the fact that the assistant city
physicians have all they can attend to
without looking after police cases, Incl
dents of gross neglect have from time
TO time come to the surface. Looney
was brought into the station. and placed
in cell. City Physician Weston was
notified by telephone. and he re ferred
! the officers at the station to DR.. Holl.
The latter gentleman stated he could
not attend the case until the next morn
ing, SO poor Looney was allowed to lay
OH the hard bench suffering the most
intense pain. Capt. Ness and Lieut.
Walton, of the South station, were be-
fore Supt. Smith yesterday. They told
their side of the story, and the super
intendent decided that no blame could
| attach itself to the police department.
DR.. Weston does not see how he can
be blamed for the matter. He says the
officers should have notified him that
DR.. Holl could not attend the case.
Lieut.. Walton admits that he neglected
to notify DR.. Weston, and there you are.
One of the first things Mayor Eustis did
| when he came into Office was to cut off
Police Surgeon Gibson's head. Now he
declines to vote with the rest of the
board of correction and charities to IN
crease the pay of the assistant city pysi-
clans, claiming they 90 not have enough
| to do, and are well enough paid as it is.
| AS matter of fact, the physicians are
| paid miserably low salaries-S9UO a year.

for the plucky invalid, and the landlord
promised to introduce them to each
other next morning.
On the following morning when the
landlord and the genuine terror went to
the room of Mr.. TOmpkins a surprise
awaited them. Mr.. Tompkins was not
to be found. He had heard that Arizona
Bill had returned and was looking for
somebody. The genuine Arizona Bill,
hearing that his double was repeating
his Bandera experiment in the town of
Waco, several hundred miles distant,
mounted his horse and started in that
direction.
a few weeks later an item appeared
in the Texas papers to the effect that
the noted desperate, Arizona Bill, had
been killed in Waco by a mysterious
stranger Later on there was another
item that Arizona Bill was alive and
running a faro bank in Silver City.
Both items were true, and as sub
sequently the surviving Bill shot two
men in quarrel, the Inference is very
plain that the imitation desperate met
his fate al the hands of the original.

MAYOR TALKS BACK.
He Replies to the Commune alton
of Aid. Rollins.

Mayor EuStis returned from New
York yesterday, having enjoyed pleas
ant trip, and he at once resumed the
cares and duties OF official life.
In referring to the communication of
Aid Rollins, published in yesterdays
issue of the GLOBE, the mayor said:
Il do not believe in poking at skunk
when | see. him going along the street.
The more you stir UP such an animal
the worse he is. By the way, should
like to know what this alderman means
by my getting Is per cent rake off.
That is something l do not quite under
stand. l understand all the rest of his
illusions, but that one is just trit1e too
deep. Ii any of the newspaper report
erS. or any one else, know of any rake
off business going Oh in connection with
this office or the police department,
hope they will make it public, ana print
all the news there is in it.
$50 far as the banquet rendered Lord
Mayor Shanks and his party is con-
cerned, do not suppose that Mr.. Rol-
Inns really thinks any one was drunk.
| The banquet was one rendered by the
city of Minneapolis to the corporation
of Dublin, and the city council was rep
resented by the president and vice
president of the city council. All The
money spent was in doing honor to the
representative Of Dublin. Other cities
were doing the same thing, and it seems
to me that we would have been sadly
remiSS III our duties had we admitted,
by giving the lord mayor no reception,
that we were financially unable to keep
our end up.
LAS for the statement that it is a
strange thing that all of the aldermen
were not invited to be present, all care
to say is that the council was represent
ed. Had all of the aldermen been i'll
vited, it would have meant that we
could not have had as many of the other
prominent gentlemen of the city pres
emf, or would have had to eXpend more
money, as every additional guest en-
tailed an additional cost.
THE banquet was known as the
mayors banquet not Mayor EuStis'
banquet. The mayors of all the big
Northwestern cities were there, hence
the mayors banquet.
81 am sorry that Aid. Rollins has seen
fit to write such a screed, and sorry that
any of our papers have seen fit to pub
lish it. III the opposition is not going
TO have better campaign material than
that they won't have much. That ref
erence to ID per cent rake off would
be good campaign material If it could
be proven, and L am anxious to learn
what it all MEANS"

From q Mad House.
Frank Hoskins. of Henning. the WELL

was sent to the insane asylum OF Fergus
Falls, was arraigned before Judge
Elliot yesterday morning.. 1t will be
remembered he was committed to the
asylum upon the examination of Drs.
&. G. Buchanan, of Henning, and A. 3.
Cole, of Fergus Falls. He was brought
down from the asylum OH writ OF
habeas corpus, and yesterday in court,
Henry Johns. the st. Paul attorney,
appeared as his counsel. In an elabO-
rately prepared brief. setting forth the
reasons why Hoskins should be released
from the asylum, Mr.. Johns says:
First. because it is in violation OF sec
ton 2, article l, of the state constitution,
which says: mo member of this state
| shall be diSfranchiSed or deprived Of
| any rights or privileges secured to any
| citizen thereof, unless by the law of
| the land, or the Judgment of his peers"
| This first reason also goes on to say that
! The same is also in violation of section
| /, article IA or the federal constitution
| No state shall make or enforce any law
" hich shall abridge the privileges or
immunities of citizens Of the United
| StateS.''

| peared OH behalf of the state, and
asked that the case be continued, for
| the reason it was desired to see the de-
cisiOn of the supreme court in the Biais-
dell case, which is expected to be hand
ed down in few days. Mr.. Johns being
agreeable, the court continued the case
until next Saturday. Mr.. HoSkinS was
given his liberty after presenting proper
bonds for his appearance. He appeared
to enjoy his temporary freedom very
much. He had nothing to say about the
| people who were Instrumental in plac-
ing him in the asylum. de says he was
kept pretty busy during his incarcera
ton, for he wrote all the matter for his
| paper at Henning, and sent it to the
local editor, who looked after the news
