STEPHEN DEVEREAUx AND JOHN
b. CLARK ESCAPE FROM
CUSTODY.
NOT THEIR FIRST oFFENsE.
EACH is CREDITED WITH HAVING
ESCAPED FROM OFFICERS ON
FORMER OCCASIONS.
BROKE OUT OF THE BLACK MARIA
jOying Ride on the Front
Seat of the Van.

Stephen DeVereauX and John 3.
Clark, two men convicted of larceny
in the municipal court yesterday and
who were each sentenced to the work.
house for ninety days, escaped from
the Black Maria while being taken to
their place of incarceration shortly be-
fore y O'Clock. Another prisoner, John
Passenstaedler, sentenced to ten days
for drunkenness. also left the van.
Two other occupants of the wagon,
Thomas Healy and John Lannigan, re-
fused to join the escaping prisoners,
and remained in the vehicle until it
reached the workhouse. The three
fugitives are still at large, though ev-
cry effort is being made to apprehend
Clark and Devereaux, who are con-
sidered dangerous chara cters by the
police.
The escape was effected through a
hole battered in the rear of the Black
Maria above and to the right of the
door, though how such wholesale
demolition of the city's carry-all could
take place while III the hands of two
trusted servants is remarked in some
quarters as passing strange. James
Mitchell was driving the wagon in the
absence of his father, the regular driv-
er, who is sick, and Joseph Stockton,
whose particular duty is to guard the
prisoners between the police court and
the workhouse, was keeping young
Mitchell company on the drivers seat,
when the men secured their liberty.
The police were annoyed at the es-
cape of Clark and his companion, and
are Of the opinion that Stockton should
have handcuffed the men before leav-
ing his accustomed place on the rear
step of the Black Maria At what
point DevereauX and Clark dropped
off is not known, but they were seen
about 1 o'clock walking up the rail-
road tracks toward Minneapolis. Both
men have escaped from custody on
previous occasions. DevereauX sneaked
out of the bull pen in the municipal
court some three months ago, while
Clark created a sensation in Mime
apolis about four years ago by jump
ing, handcuffed, into the Mississippi
river from the suspension bridge, after
having been arrested by Detective John
Z. Hoy. Clark the police say, has
served sentence at the Waupun pen
1tent1ary, in Wisconsin, for burglary,
and DevereauX was at one time sent
to the reform school for highway rob-
berry.

FIRST REGIMENT VETERANS
MOURN THE Loss OF THEIR
GETTYSBURG FUND.
WILLS HEIRS ARE HOLDING
THE VASE AND FLOWERS FUND
WHICH THE FIRST LEFT TO
ADORN GRAVES.
Mysterious Conference of State Of
ficials Was Held at the Capitol
Yesterday Afternoon.

Gross carelessness, on the part Of
some one, apparently, is the cause Of
losing to the soldiers Of the First regi-
ment, gallant defenders of the country
at Gettysburg that they were, the fund
which they founded many years ago to
maintain year after year vase Of fresh
flowers above the place where so many
Of their valiant comrades fought and
fell. David Wills, resident at Gettys-
burg, was entrusted with the fund,
the interest of which was to be used as
far as might be necessary in providing
the vase and flowers, but now David
Wills is dead, the flowers are unfur-
nlshed, and the state is unable to Sc
cure the cash from his heirs.
The legislature at it's last session
passed law adding to the duties of
the adjutant general that he demand
of Mr.. Wills, or his heirs and assigns
the money. The demand has been
made, but has not been honored, and
yesterday there was a conference con-
corning the matter in the office of the
military storekeeper, who is not men
tened at all in the act of the legislature
above referred to. There were also
present a number Of other people not
mentioned in that act, while the adju-
tant general, who was expressly given
the authority to get the money, instead
of being at this seemingly self-appoint-
ed meeting, was in the office of State
Treasurer Koerner during a great part
of the session. Much mystery was
maintained as to the subject under dis
cuss1on, and the party, as it broke up,
tried to laugh away the dominant
scoWls which resented the reportorial
intrusion. The laugh, however, was
strained, not one present failing to
realize fully that the regiment was
probably an absolute loser of the
moneys entrusted to Wills So long as
the man was alive, he seems to have full
filled the trust imposed upon him. but
his heirs do not recognize it, and the
First regiment and military officers of
the state do not seem to have any evil
dence that will stand the trial in court.
This much was intimated by Adjt Gen.
Nuremberg last evening, when he indi-
Gated to G o b e reporter that the
only hope of the soldiers of the First
regiment lay in a gentleman named
Marvin, Of Winona, who was supposed
to be familiar with the circumstances
under which the money was entrusted
to Wills
The mystery of yesterdays meeting
led to gossip in some quarters that the
fund In which the shortage was found
was the $4,000 fund for bronze tablet
on the field Of Gettysburg This fund,
however, is in the hands of a commits
sion, and SO far as known, the gentle
men who met at the capitol yesterday
have no more to do with that than with
the flower fund, which is much smaller
in amount.

CITY WINS AGAIN.
John ID. McHugh's Suit for Damages
Failed.

John B. McHugh's suit to recover
from the city $4,000 damages for in
juries sustained by driving over an
embankment on Burgess street in
March last, on trial before Judge Egan
and a jury, yesterday resulted in
verdict for the city. 1t appears that
at the point at which the accident
happened there is a big fill across a
morass, but no railing has been placed
on the sides of the roadway. The
street is not lighted, and the night was
dark. McHugh sustained fracture
of three ribs, his shoulder blade and
spinal column, conclusion Of the brain
and spine. and incurred pleurisy as a
result Of his injuries. The contention
Of the city is that the street was in
good condition; that the bitches at the
sides Of the roadway were a sufficient
protection against driving over the
edges, and that the city was under no
obligation to light the street at that
point. The jury looked at it the same
way.

4. KAUFMAN AND YEZNER,
Remaining Indictment Against the
Ely Merchants Dismissed.

The remaining Indictment against M.
Kaufman and Dave B. Yezner was
yesterday dismissed by Judge Willis,
on motion Of County Attorney Butler,
as was also that against August Telke.
Mr.. Butler made no explanation to the
court as to why he thought the indict-
ments should be dismissed, but from
the fact that previous trial on similar
indictments resulted in verdicts for the
defendants, it is evident the county
attorney saw no reason why the coun-
ty should be put to the expense of a
second trial.
Kaufman and Yezner are the Ely
merchants who were indicted on the
charge Of securing from st. Paul mer-
chants goods on credit on the strength
of misrepresentation alleged to have
been made regarding their financial
condition.
Telke was charged with improper
conduct with his flfteen-year-old
daughter.

Peterson Gets a New Trial.

Judge Kelly yesterday filed an order grant
ing new trial in the suit of Otto Peterson
against Daniel OConnor, but refusing to give
Judgment for the plaintiff, notwithstanding
The suit grows out of transfer of some
mortgaged property owned by the defendant
John Lawton was the mortgage, and he
claims that O'Connor, being unable to pay,
ferred the property to Peterson and O'Con-
nor refused to vacate. claiming that the
deed was simply a mortgage in reality for
the better protection of Lawton. Peterson
then brought an action to dispossess O'Ccn-
nor, and the case was tried before Judge VIII
lis and jury, with the result that a verdict
was rendered in favor of OConnor. Judge
Kelly thinks this was wrong, and therefore
grants new trial

Prof. Woodbridge has arranged his sub

To the Editor Of the Globe.
The case of e. J.. Royem, formerly buyer
for the Minnesota & Dakota Elevator COM
pany, at Warren, was matter of common
report at Warren when your correspondent
visited that town lastsmonth Nearly every
man spoken to about the troubles which
grew out Of the wheat blockade referred to
this case, and, in every instance the report
ed cause for his leaving the service of the
company was as stated in the second letter
from Warren, published in the G o b e of
Jan. o. That the matter had become COM
mon property did not satisfy your cores
pondent, for he had been repeatedly in
formed that a leading citizen of Warren,
whose name will be given if he consents to
its publication, knew all about the matter.
There appeared to be no question that he
knew all that was published in relation to
the matter, and the story was substantially
as he told it. The only changes were slight
notifications Of the language used. His ac-
count Of the affair was follows:
"One morning was passing the Minnesota
& Dakota elevator and heard two men dis
putting over wheat grades. Both men were
speaking In loud tones, and their voices in
dicated that they were both excited, and
that the discussion was not an amicable one.

entrance and noticed Mr.. Gibbs, the super

WATKINS AND HIS PITCHERS.
Cross Ready to Sign a Contract A
Conner" i'm sight.

George Cross, of whom the baseball pub
lie expects great things, writes from Man.
chester, N. H, that he is ready to sign a
contract to pitch for the Indianapolis pen
nant winners the coming season. Cross
says in his letter that he is prepared to
pitch the game of his life. This is a claim
made by all baseball pitchers before the
opening of each season. In the case of
Cross, however. there it no reason why this
season shall not be better than any of the
preceding ones for him. He showed i'm
provement last season over the previous
ones, and won man games for the home
team. He is a brainy pitcher and Is not
dissipated, so, with his past experience, the
public has the right to expect much from
him. Cross is reported as running ten
miles each day over the New Hampshire
hills, in order TO get himself in the proper
trim. Last year he entered the first game
with altogether TO much fat on his hand
some form, and rumor at the time had it
that he had to be lassoed and dragged into
the sweat box.
Manager Watkins has laid claims to a
youngster named Frank Fitch. who played
in the infeld for Marquette last year. Fitch
is classed in the long list of "comers." and
he may develop unusual qualities this sea-
son. His record is so good that Mr.. Wat
kins thought 1t advisable to put in a claim,
for Fitch might be used should some of the
old stars report with glass arms or other
ailments peculiar to ball players.

A TOUCH OF REAL WINTER.
Thermometer as Low ms II Above
Zero Yesterday.

A cold wave came to town from the north
early yesterday morning. The thermometer
took a drop downward. The predictions
were for colder weather, but few were ex-
pecting what came. People were given an
idea of what has been missed this season,
for yesterday morning the temperature was
suggestive of winter. The thermometer did
not register low-only IA ~above-but, coming
after a springlike day, It was all the harder
to endure. Saturday the sun shone clear
most of the time: there was a seductive
south breeze. causing people to think of vio-
lets, summer underwear and ice cream soda.
After the change In temperature these men,
tai pictures were changed TO those OF colds,
extra underwear and the gas pressure. The
Weather Bureau promises warmer weather
to-day. and last evening the information
was given that it will grow much warmer
by evening.
