IN CUSTODY AT LAST.
Absconder Randall Gave the Authorities
Long Chase.

Superior, Wis, Dec. 15.-Gilbert b.
Randall, the former treasurer of Su-
perior lodge, Odd Fellows, who a year
ago absconded with $3.50 of the lodges
money, is at last in custody. Notice
was received from Deputy Sheriff Rice
that the fugitive had been captured in
Louisville, KY, in company with the
negro woman with whom he fled, where
he was living under an assumed name.
The Randall case is one of the most
famous in the criminal annals OF Doug
lass county. A year ago Randall fled
with all the money in the treasury,
abandoning his wife and several chill
dren for a notorious negress. After
many delays a warrant for his arrest
was legally delivered for service and
the pursuit begun. The pair was traced
from city to city and all clews finally
lost In Chicago. Since then the chase
has cost this county thousands or dol
lars but each time the officer would
leave here Randall would be notified
by friends, who kept him supplied with
money. One of the men finally be-
trayed Randall's assumed name and
gave the street number in Louisville
and the arrest followed.
Randall is a tailor by trade ana
proved one of the most ingenious fugi-
tives ever under the notice of the chi
cago, st. Paul and St. Louis police de-
partments. He will be brought here to
answer to charges Of embezzlement and
fraudulently converting to his own use
the money of his lodge.

NOVEL SUGGESTION.

Cleveland Urged to Consult with McKin-
ley on Cuban Situation.
New York, Dec. 15.-Governor Nor
ton, according to a statement. pub
lished In The Evening World. sent
telegram to President Cleveland In re-
lation to the critical condition OF Gu
ban affairs and the assassination OF
General Maceo in particular. The mes
sage. The World adds, contained the
novel suggestion that President Cleve-
land invite President-elect Mckinley
to washington to discuss the mcst feas-
ible plan to be followed by the presi-
dent concerning the attitude OF the
United States toward Cuba during the
remainder Of President Clevelands s
term of office.
The governor pointed out In his tele-
gram the complications that might con-
front President-elect Mckinley in deal
ing with the Cuban question as re-
suit of any precipitate or ill-advised
act on the part of President Cleveland,
and suggested a, conference between
the outgoing and the Incoming chief ex-
ecutive. -

Webster. His brother. aged II years,
was present at the time. The story was
told that two tramps called at the
house and begged breakfast. The only
ones at home were the boys. While
the elder was preparing the meal for
them he turned and was confronted by
revolver in the hands OF one of the
men, who shot. The younger brother
ran and claims to have escaped. Sheriff
Woolsey Of Fort Dodge was called to
take charge Of the case. The younger
boy gave the officer an accurate de-
scription Of the tramps and the closest
cross-examination failed TO make any
change in his recital Two men answer
ing the description given by him were
arrested Sunday and the boy confessed
to the shooting himself when brought
to identify the tramps.

with the AFFAIR have not yet been
cleared up. What became of his body
ii he is i'm fact dead? Why was IL
that his soldiers deserted him when he
fell, either In battle or struck down by
the bullet o. an assassin? These ques-
tions will suggest themselves to ev-
cry one who takes any special interest
in the news from Cuba, and nobody
seems able TO answer them satisfactor-
fly.
The story Of the assassination looks
very much like an after thought. When
the news Of Maceo's death was first an
nounced the insurgents In Cuba and
their sympathizers in the United States
declared the report false. They called
attention to the list of articles, includ-
ing jewelry, photographs and silk un-
derwear. which IL was alleged had been
taken from the body. and said it was
absurd to ask people to believe that
Maceo would go to battle with such
things on his person. Now they say
that these articles are confirmatory ev-
idence OF assassination. Maceo, they
assert, crossed the trocha by invitation.
for the purpose of holding a peace con-
ference with the Duke of Ahumada. In
view OF MS IllSSlOT IL was olly NATURAL,
they argue, that he should wear the
richest garments available and carry
with him his jewels and trinkets. The
statement that the articles mentioned
were taken from his body is apparently
the only foundation for the story of the
| assassination.
Unfortunately for the people who
would really like to have authentic
the reports which come from the ISL
and, whether they emanate from Span
ish or insurgent sources, are untrust-
worthy. 1t will probably be some days
! probably weeks, before IL can be def
| initely known whether Antonio Maceo
is dead or not. If he is dead 1t is not
improbable that the manner of his
death will forever remain a question OF
| dispute

Sweeney in his sermon at the Taberna-

that If the Spaniards had murdered
General Maceo. the Cuban leader, as
reported, that the United States gov
ernment should lose no time In ac-
knowledging Cuba's independence, and
leaving nothing else undone to wipe
every vestige of Spanish rule from the
American continent. This utterance
was followed by a great outburst of
applause.

10 him, looked suspiciously like one OF

it lay a small ladder, about eight inch

steps, each an inch wide.
His father took this ladder and
placed it in the jar, the top and bottom

then put the frog in the jar, and

fortunate frog prisoner.

Fish Can Scent the Bait.
