ADMITTED HIS GUILT.
Stage RObber Hayes Tells a SEN
sational Story.


SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Aug. 2S-In-
spector NJ. c. Fosness has won a
double victory in his chase for the
men who robbed the Deadwood stage
near Spearfish, in February, 1894 He
has not only succeeded in getting the
right men, but he has gotten the evil
dence in such clinching shape that
both have pleaded guilty to the charge.
U. S. Pitts will be sentenced to five
years. 1t is understood that the dis
trict attorney has agreed to sign a pc
tition for his pardon, after one year.
He is only twenty-siX years old. The
officers are satisfied that he was infiu-
enced by Hayes.
Hayes at first pleaded not guilty,
but later in the day he confessed. He
says that Mrs. Pitts put up the deal
and urged him and Pitts to do the
work. They hesitated and he says
that one night she put on her hus-
bands trousers and went out to rob
the stage herself. She failed to do it,
however, and soon after that the two
men undertook and accomplished the
job. They got $50, the most of which
was given to Mrs. Pitts. Hayes will
be sentenced for life, but he hopes
for a pardon in a few years. The Off
GERS take no stock in the implication
of Mrs. Pitts in the robbery, but think
Hayes told the story in that way to
punish her for the part she played in
his capture. Hayes says he is only
tWenty-four years old and, in spite of
the report that he is wanted in Mis-
souri, for murder, declares that he was
never in any lawlessness until the rob-
berry.

FARGO, N. D., Aug. 2S.-A grave
mystery hovers over this city. Early
this morning the police were notified
that a man was found dead in an
old shanty near the Milwaukee de-
pot. Upon investigation it was found
that Sam Simmons, known by many
as Sam Linnell, better known as
"Old Sam the PlaSterer," had been
murdered. He lived in a filthy old
shanty near the depot, and engaged
a woman by the name of Mrs. Scott
to do his cooking. Late last night
Old Sam came home drunk and quar-
relied with the Scott woman. She
left the, place about $3.50 p. m, and
went to the home of her sister, where
she claims she stayed all night. 1t
is thought that herself and brother
in-law are guilty of the crime, al
though nothing positive has been
found against them.
1t is. a very queer case. The old
man was found in the house with a
deep wound in his left cheek, and his
face was cut in several places. His
teeth were ali knocked out, and vet
not sign of blood could be found.
His clothes were free from blood
and not speck could be found on
the premises. His face had been
washed, and his eyes and mouth
were closed as though he had been
prepared for burial by an undertaken.
A coroner's inquest is being held,
and Mrs. Scott is being put through
a rigid examination. 1t is prob
able that Mrs. Scott and John An
derson, her brother-in-law, will be
arrested.

from the st. Paul police force and one

Sergeant Jack Leonard has the ar

Admission to the game has been
placed at fifty cents, and large num-

but the police desire to have as big
a crowd at the game as the park will
accommodate. Tickets can be pur-
chased Of any police officer. The
friends of the police at st. Paul turned
out by the thousands and the Mime
apolis boys hope to make as good a.
showing. The game will be followed
by a banquet in the evening at Wash
ington hall on lookup alley. AS soon
as the game is over the players will
be taken to the hall in two patrol
wagons. The game will be WE'LL worth
the price of admission from the stand

there will be more genuine fun than is

NOT A GOOD WIND FOR CATS.
Championship Event Had to BE
Declared Off.

A good ten-knot breeze, straight
from the north, greeted the Mime
tonka yachtsmen when the hour ar
rived for firing the preparatory signal
in yesterdays regatta, and the hearts
of all were glad over the prospects
of fine event.
1t was really a contest between the
cats, for the result in all the other
classes had been determined and the
only thing remaining to complete a,
most successful season was the race
to decide the champion cat boat of the
fleet
The result of the seasons work had
been to give the Marie both the cup
and championship in the first-class
sloops and the Bird the same in the
second-class, while the Cupid was
equally successful in the special class,
or small SloopS.
Among the cat boats the ATLANTA
had won two cup races and the Va
runa one cup and. one championship
event, thus making tie between
them. The Dragon had captured one
championship race and Newell hoped
to win yesterdays event, and thus tie
the other two.
Among the second-class cats, or kit
tens, the Imp and Oswa each had
cup race to their credit and the Daphne
had a championship. The starting
gun was fired at ESQ, the boats get
ting off in good shape, and two rounds
We're made, but by the time the third
and last round was started the wind
had died away SO completely that it
was seen it would be impossible to
finish the race, and it was declared off.

care to say anything in regard to the
women, or to have any connection
with the case whatever. Probably the
most interesting letter received is
from man who is temporarily So
Jogrning in a city about twenty-five
miles from Minneapolis.
This man, whose name and business
is withheld at the request of the au-
thorities, was heard from yesterday.
According to this mans statements, he
got pretty well acquainted with the
women when they lived on Royalston
avenue in this city. He seems to have
been particularly interested in Mrs.
Perkins, and, according to his story,
the interest was reciprocated to the ex-
tent that Mrs. Perkins made him a
confidant. 1t is stated in the letter that
Mrs. Perkins was constantly talking
about getting insurance money. She
wanted to marry a man who could not
swim, and have a good-sized insurance
written on his life. They would go
boating a good deal, and it was to be
planned that the husband, who was
handicapped by reason of not being
able to swim, would be allowed to
drown.
If this correspondents story is true
Mrs. Perkins had given this sort of
a scheme a. good deal Of thought and
attention, for she had the whole thing
figured to a nicely. All the arrange
ments seemed to have been laid out
very nicely in the mind of Mrs. Per-
kins. The county attorneys informant
writes as If the fact of the death of
Mrs. Hawkins and the sensational Sc
quel which followed in the arrest Of
Mrs. Perkins did not surprise him very
much. He states that If it were nee,
eSsary he can secure evidence which
will corroborate all he says in regard
to the woman. 1t appears that this
man, while not showing any signs of
surprise while Mrs. Perkins was con.
fiding to- his keeping the terrible things
which ran in her mind, was not dis
posed to remain the sole custodian OF
the astonishing propositions, and that
he told some of his friends about tho
matter. The county attorney has not
yet determined just what to do in re-
gard to this mans proposition. 1t is
hardly probable that he VIII be asked
to appear at the preliminary examina.
ton which begins in the municipal
court today If Mrs. Perkins is held
to the grand jury, as the prosecutor
fully believes she will be, then the
testimony offered by the respondent
who claims to know about the wom-
ans misunderstanding plans Will be
looked into. If the case ever comes
to trial in the district court such in
formation as this man offers will OF
course be material

Neat Piece of Forgery.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Aug. 2S.-The ST.
Paul correspondent of the German
American National bank today re-
turned to the st. Cloud bank two Great
Northern pay checks, the amounts of
which had been raised by what ap-
pears to be the work of very clever
forger. A Sc check was raised to $50,
while s. check was raised to $50, both
being successfully passed and cashed
on the Goth, week ago. The forger-
les were not discovered until the
amounts were checked up by the au-
diting department of the Great North
ern with the pay rolls. The banks at
once notified the parties who. had de-
posted the checks and the police were
soon at work on the case 1t is
thought that the man who raised the
checks received them Sunday, as some
OF the men got them on Saturday and
could not get them cashed Another
theory is that the forger did work as
a section hand just to get the checks.

1t is evident that United States Com

tends to make a fight to disprove the
charges made against him at Sioux
rails recently, as telegraphed from
there to the daily press a few days

ututed his judicial position to vent
spite against personal enemies, and
also that he had a near relative sub
poenaed as a witness in a case where
the party accused had previously con-
fessed to committing the crime.
