young desperate gives as his reason
Tor not divulging his name, that he
mas praying mother and sister of
very high connection and repute, and
he will never allow them to stand the
stigma of such a crime. He is the cool

there is great danger Of him dangling

Company D, Of the Second degimenf
this evening resumed its real military
life and thrust its fixed bayonets into
the moonlight with the relentlessness of
an old guard that would be none the
less reluctant about transfixing things

Jail to protect the latest acquisition td

has two murderers, one being Craft.
who killed his wife in fit Of jealousy,
about nine months ago. The second IA
the Lake Mills captive No fears are
entertained for Craft, but numerous
mutterings have been heard in the
streets of Fairmont and Sherburne to-
day, and 1t is feared, too. that indignant
citizens of Bancroft, To-, may attempt
to
AVENGE THE DEATH
of brave Marshal Gallien. AT this
hour, however, it looks like a hopeless
task and Sheriff Hill insists that be-
fore his prisoner Is taken from 1alI
without due process of law blood will
flow knee deep in the court house lawn
While number of Sherburne people
are here on the streets, still they in
sist they are here to spend the night
in order that they may witness the uG-
knoWn's preliminary examination in
the morning. This, however may be
postponed if the crowds continue to
pour in from the surrounding country.
1t is argued by the local officials that
the almost fruitless robbery of the
Sherburne bank has already caused tod
many murderouS Deaths and, while
they are not less relentless in their In
Sistence on the accomplishment of Jus
tice, they insist that it must be in reg.
ular course of the law. The Lake Mills
captive has had his cOnfessor at work
again today This morning in the Jail
ar Albert Lea, he practically repeated
the Lake Mills confession, although hd
no longer claims the fraternal relation
with the dead man He further statea
that the two agreed to meet in Albert
Lea Thursday of this week, at which
time there is to be a big political meet
ing and they figured they could elude
observation in the crowd. He says ha
went to Britt to look after trunk and
it now develops that this Jesse Lake, Of
Mason City, who is supposed to be thd
dead robber. has a trunk there too.
This, with the markings Of Lake" on
his belt, is thought to be conclusive al
to the dead mans identity
Everything was quiet at z D. m. The
militia will guard the Jail all night
The marshal of Sherburne and large
delegation of citizens are here, but ara
making no menacing demonstrations.
The local officials profess a determina-
ton to guard the prisoner at all haz-
ards.
A report was received from Sher-
burne that mob was forming there
to march on the jail here but the Of
ficers declare they viii not surrender
their man. On the street q great deal
of excitement exists, but up to mid
night no ominous signs were visible.
