other route. Every clue was followed up that
would lead to the location of these people.
The detectives finally found that Clark and
his wife met at st. Joe, Mo-, where they had
changed their baggage, buying new trunks
and changed their appearance as much as
possible, to throw every one off their tracks,
leaving their old trunks and baggage behind
them and had started out anew together, un-
der another name. The detectives traced
them from point to point, and finally landed
them at Laredo, Tex. Here they took another
name had their baggage transferred to Nueve
Laredo, Mexico, where they boarded train
and went south to the City of Mexico, where
they again changed their name and went to
San Luis Potosi. Here they again changed
their names and Clark stated to parties with
whom he came in contact that he was from
the state of Washington. They had consider
able means, and for the benefit of his and his
wfe's health he had concluded to emigrate to
warmer climate and purchase a coffee plan
tation. Unfortunately for James N. Brown G
Co. Clark fell in with an eX-criminal from
Missouri, who had absconded from Missouri
after defrauding an investment company out
of large amount of money, and when this
party was approached by the detectives who
were on Clark's trail, he did everything to
throw them off the track of Clark, but the
detectives knowing that Clark had gone into
the interior, did not give up the hunt. They
the interior, without result. They came back
and started in another direction, and after
considerable work, on the 9Th of March, sue
oeeded in locating Clark and his wife under
the name of G. A. Pettis, on ranch near
Santa Lucrecia Canton, Minatitlan, state of
Vera Cruz, Mexico.
THE detectives Immediately advised me as
to the location of Clark, and Messrs. Brown &
Co. at once took the proper steps to have him
eXtradited. The papers being prepared, Sher-
iff Williams, of Milbank, S. D., was imme-
diately sent forward with the papers, author
izing Clarks arrest by the Mexican govern
ment and requesting his extradition. The
sheriff arrived in the City of Mexico on
Wednesday, April l, was honored by the Mex
lean government and Clark was Immediately
pGE under arrest"
Supt. Weber received a telegram yesterday
from his assistant superintendent, who has
been conducting the investigation, that Clark
was arrested and they are now making ar
rangements to return him to Milbank, S. D.,
for trial.

HUNG UP CHAPEL,s BILL.
Sheriff Will Not Get His Money foy
BaiIfffs Yet.

Sheriff Chapel's fat fees for bailiffs he
claims to have furnished to take charge of
prisoners taken from the county Jail into the
municipal court were the subject of discus
sion at the meeting of the board of county
commissioners yesterday. County ATTORNEY
Butler was present, and stated that the board
should take some action on this matter, which
has been hanging fire for some time The
board has been allowing these bills right
along, but County Auditor Sullivan refused
to audit them, and there the matter stands
Mr.. Butler urged that some understanding
should be reached between the board and the
auditor. The question was whether the work
for which compensation is claimed by the
sheriff had been performed. The auditor
claimed it had not and the clerk of the
municipal court claimed it had not. Mr. But
Ter suggested that after a prisoner was brought
from the county Jail to the municipal court
he was under the control of the bailiff of that
court, who is appointed by the mayor. He
wanted to know why the committee on claims
had not satisfied itself as to whether the serv-
ice had been rendered.
Mayor Smith blamed the committee on
claims for it's negligence in the matter.
Mr.. Butler said suit brought by the sheriff
to recover these claims had been dismissed
but Deputy Sheriff Giberton replied that a
suit for $40, one of the claims, was pending.
The board concluded to await the outcome
OF une dcJlOn Jnat mas Deen DrOught IN the
court, and none of this class of claims will be
paid until after that. The claim of the sheriff
for the past month included $131 for this class
of services, which was stricken out, and the
remainder of the bill allowed. This makes
upwards of 81, ,000tas the aggregate of these
claims.
Representatives 4pf the Keeley institute at
Minneapolis were present to press the claims
of the institution fer the patronage of Ramsey
county under the "iag law but the board
decided, tacitly, that no contract would be
now in the court of Hennepin county to test
the validity of the law. In the meantime the
patients sent to the institute by the probate
court are to be treated, and the matter Of
compensation settled later on. This arrange
ment seemed very satisfactory to the institute
people
On motion of Commissioner Allen, it was
decided to advertise for bids for the lighting
of the Jail. The Edison company has been
doing the work since the time of the old court
house, which stood on the corner, lighting
that edfce and the Jail with 173 lights at s173
a month, and now furnishes ffty-three lights
for the Jail at $50 month.

Il. Wilson, member of the firm of Brown G.
Co., who was then at Milbank investigating
Clark's disappearance. Mr.. Wilson also stated
in his letter that Clark had defrauded the
firm out of $4,000. Said supt Weber YES
terday:
George M. Clark had been agent for James
n. Brown & Co. at MiIbank for a number of
years. He had married an estimable ladv of
MlIpank, and had one child, a daughter of
TWO years. The James N. Brown G. Co. is a
hrm doing business at 62 Cedar street. New
York city. Clark, in conjunction with being
thelr representative, had a set Of abstract
DOCKS OF Grant county, South Dakota, which
brought him considerable income
When Clark forwarded to the James N.
Brown q Co., at their head Office in New York
city, certain securities, advising them to pur-
cDase the same, it was presumed by the COM
pany that the securities were all right. They
would forward him the money and purchase
them on his o. K. The company had no sus
pieion, whatever, that Clark was dishonest.
ON the morning of Jan. 9, at 2 a. NJ, Clark
left Mllbank, stating that he was going to
take trip out of town for few days. Sew
erai days later his wife disappeared with her
child, leaving no trace behind either of them.
as to where they were going or when thew
would return. After they had been absent
some ten days the firm sent a representative
TO Mllbank, who found by investigation, that
Clark had disposed of all his property, and. ap-
parently, had arranged to be gone indefinitely.
They then examined Clark's accounts and re-
ported that he had defrauded James N
Brown & Co. to the extent of about $40 900. bv
having them cash school and county warrants
on three different counties in the state all Of
which were forgeres and worthless. A furth-
er investigation showed that Clark on several
occasions had gone to the county officials and
asked them to lean him several blank county
warrants to forward to the firm that he rep
resented, showing to them the manner of Sc
curities he desired them to invest in. These
warrants were marked Cancelled by the Of
fcials BY chemicals he would remove these
cancellations and fill these warrants out for
certain amount. In Minneapolis and st. Paul
he had forged seals made, with which he
would stamp them, after which he would
send them on to the firm, and the firm ad-
Vanced him the money on the same.
This agency requested him to run
Clark down and apprehend him at
any expense. Immediately the best
y men in the agency were placed upon
this work. They found that Clark had left
Milbank on Jan. 9, had driven to an outside
station and boarded train at Aberdeen going
south. His wife left a day later, taking an

Off the walks, but this may have been due to
the fact that Mr.. Nilsson considered it of

Judge Willis yesterday heard and took un-

ground on which the motion rests is that the
