Judge T. H. Kerrigan, chief consul OF
the League of American Wheelmen:

The secretary of the National Farmers Con-

costing 81 per ton for the average haul of

The good work Of Messrs. Farrell an
Knight, supplemented by the MADISON
IAN, did not stop with last week, when
they sent draft for 1896 to the New
York Journal silver fund. After the
list had been closed and the draft had
been purchased would-be contributors
came to them in such numbers that
they decided to open second list, and
in the hope of assisting them in the
good work. the MAD1soNIAN explained
in last weeks paper, what the money
was being raised for and how it was to
be used. The result is pleasing. The
sum total now foots up S297.50, the con-
tributiOns being as follows:

; A CLEVER CAPTURE :

Through Sheriff Haines. County At
torney Galloway, Undersheriti Sum
mers, and Mark Smith certain facts
have been ferreted out which makes
the conviction of Aubrey Wall and
Marsh Monckton. the suspects held for
cracking Musser & Rodgers safe a few
days ago. a certainty.
Johnnie Monckton. who has hereto
fore been looked upon as an upright
young man has been placed in posi-
tion which no honest man would envy.
After securing evidence of his COM
plicity in this crime. he was arrested
below Junction at about , o'clock
| Thursday morning, as he was fleeing
the country. He had in Iii osse.sion a
bicycle which was stolen, so he says, by
| Wall. from the MADISONIAN Office sew
eIal months ago, and also a portion of
/ the money taken from Musser & Rod
gers saloon.
Mark Smith was a material factor in
/ working up the case. About two weeks
ago he discovered that John Monckton,
with whom he was on friendly terms.
was handling more money than usual.
He told John that if he was not more
careful with his money, he would be
suspicioned in connection with the sa-
loon robbery. Whereupon John made
partial confession. Smith immedi ate
ly communicated the facts to County
Attorney Galloway. Sheriff Haines,
and Undersheriff Summers. who to-
gether planned the work which Mark
so cleverly performed.
Smith, encouraged by the authori-
ties, continued his investigations. He
learned that John Monckton had talk
ed with Wall through one OF the rear
windows of the Jail. During this con-
versation Wall told him that the money
taken from the saloon safe was cached
in mirror, between the glass and
back board, in his fathers cabin, and
also that the bicycle was hidden away
in the cabin. He implored John tc
take the bicycle and money and get
out of the country. John found matters
just as Wall told him. Subsequently
the bicycle was cached in an old tun'
mel.
Smith communicated these facts tC
the authorities and as time passed the
mesh of law was drawn tight about
John. Smith gave him to understand
that he would help him get out of the
country: that he wanted to 60 also, an(

convey them to Dillon. and John readi
ly fell in with the plan.
The start was planned for Wednes
day evening. Early in the evening
during Monckton,s 5 absence, Smith ant
Sheriff Haines went to Smiths cabil
and the sheriff secreted himself unde
the bed. He remained in this crampe'
; position for an hour, during which tim
Monckton came in, talked over the sit

uation, and made final plans for the de-
parture. Smith suggested that Monck,
ton had better make out bogus bill of
sale for the wheel, which might help
to get them out of trouble in case they
were arrested. Monckton was of the
opinion that the Dillon Implement
Company people, to whom it belonged,
could identify it instantly. but he said
they would arrive in Dillon at night.
board the train in darkness, and check
the wheel without much chance of be-
ing detected. Monckton then drew a
gun from his pocket. with the remark

cover, to ascertain that the official
shooting iron was in order. Smith
asked to see the gun. and while it was
in his possession. attempted to fix the
point of the hammer between the loaded
chambers so that no damage could be
done, at least on the first time the ham
mer snapped. Monckton and Smith de-
parted. first going to the tunnel where
the bicycle was cached, and then tax

two drove rapidly to the mouth Of Wa.
