and portrait to various countries.
Early in December the detectives got
on Lippert's track, and he was found
to be living at 219 Race street, Cincin-
natl. as a bachelor in comfortable cir
cumstances, although he was looking
for employment after having lost his
situation as a bookkeeper for the Chi
cago Publishing company. He offered
no opposition when arrested to being
taken to New York, and when ar
raigned before United States Commits
sioner Shields there he declined to say
anything. He was taken to England
in custody, and from there was taken
to Cape Town.
Lippert, it is said, was born at Ham
burg, but was trained in England to
occupy position with his father, a
rich German merchant He filled this
position acceptably, but, being am
bilious, his father gratified him to the
extent of furnishing him with capital
for business ventures in South Africa.
AT Cape Town he was soon identified
with the best people in business and
in society. At Kimberly Lippert de-
veloped into one of the boldest specu-
lators of Cape Colony, and his trans
actions have been described as pro-
digious. He kept up an establishment
which was the wonder of the richer
people in South Africa, but reverses of
fortune found him with an impaired
capital. but he did not change his
luxurious mode of living, and his for
geries followed. Then came his flight
from Cape Colony, the scandal and the
publication of his crime The first
trace of Lippert in America was the
discovery that he had been employed
in book store at Louisville, KY, and
he was afterwards traced to Cleveland
and eventually to Cincinnati, O., where
he was arrested, as already detailed.

GO NOT TO JAIL.
Habeas Corpus in Case of Indian
Police Sentenced for Assault.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April 25. =
Judge Edgerton in the United States
court this morning ordered the release
from the penitentiary of Straight Head
and Scares the Hawk, two Indian po-
lice sentenced to year each for us
Sault with intent to do great bodily
injury. These with five others were in
dicted for the. murder of William
Fielder. Judge Burns, of Deadwood,
secured the release on habeas corpus
on the ground that there is no offense
known to the United States law such
as these Indians were convicted of.
Peter Couchman, agent of the Chey-
enne agency, says if the Indians had
been confined the Indian police discip-
line would not be maintained, for since
sentence was passed on two of their
number the others refused to make ar
rests where there was resistance for
fear of being sent to the penitentiary.
Agent Couchman says an outbreak
might possibly have resulted, as all
the Indians know of the case and have
been restive since the sentence. Dis
trict Attorney Miller gave notice of ap-
peal.

The Schintz Failure at Appleton
Sweeps Away Little Hoards.
APPLETON, Wis., April 25.TThe
failure of Louis Schintz, real estate
dealer, takes on a more serious aspect
as the details become known. His
liabilities are $4,000, and assets $685.
600. His creditors are almost entirely
members of the st. Joseph congrega-
ton, who had entrusted him with their
little savings in amounts ranging from
S100 to $500. Many of them are old and
helpless and will be rendered paupers
by their loss. Schintz was prominent
in Catholic society circles, and he used
his influence in this direction in a
business way. Among his largest
creditors is Father Richards, of st.
Joseph's church, who had $1,000
placed. 1t is alleged that Archbishop
katzer's private secretary is a cred
itor for a like amount. Notes given
by Schintz for money entrusted to him
are alleged to provide that the money
be invested in first-class real estate
security. The bulk of the money ap-
pears to have been lost in Colorado
mining speculations.

AGAIN FIRES RAGE.
Phillips, Wis.,, Threatened with
Second Great Catastrophe.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, April 25.
Word was received here today that
forest fires are again raging in the
vicinity of Phillips, and it now looks
as if that devastated region will suffer
second catastrophe. The woods near
Prentice are ab,aze, and the homestead
ers and farmers are rushing into the
city for safety. There were several
farm houses burned out yesterday. and
there seems to be no probability that
the fires will abate The weather is
hot, and the woods and trees are as
dry as tinder, making them fit subjects
for the fire to prey upon Unless rain
comes the fire will certainly create
wide desolation. The people of Prem
tice have made an organized effort to
keep the flames from entering the city.
All the fire appliances the city affords
have been gotten ready for immediate
action, and, warned by the disaster to
Phillips last summer, the most heroic
efforts will be made to keep the CITY
from burning up. The nearest ap-
proach it has made is about quarter
Of mile distant, and is burning slowly
