WARD IDENTIFIES THE PRISONER.
Deputy sheriff Recognizes the Part
ner of the Dcnd nnnk RObhcE

MASON CITY, Ia, oct. 11.-tspeclal Tele-
grant, .)-There is no longer any doubt as
to the identity OF the man arrested at 3
o'clock yesterday at Lake Mills. Deputy
Sheriff e. Ward OF Martin county, Mime
sofa who assisted the brave Marshal Gal
lion in running down the dead desperado
J. ID. sair, arrived tonight, and when taken
to the small calaboose where the prisoner
is confined identified him without any trouble
as the man wanted. The heavy rains last
night prevented any great number Of people
getting into town. especially from
distance, and railway facilities
being very poor not many stran-
gers were seen moving about today.
Sheriff Ward has great fear for the future,
but is keeping very close mouthed, and
is not giving away the route that he will
take with his prisoner II he decides to re-
turn him to Jackson, Mimi. the county
scat OF the county in which the double
murder and robbery were committed. 1t
is quite evident that he will avoid rail-
roads for fear Of lynching. and should an
attempt be made to cart him for over 100
miles across the country he will very likely
be strung up. 1t is thought very probable
that the Desperate will be lodged in the
Jail here for a little while, as it is the
only one in this locality that is at all safe.

PARTY ALWAYS FOR SOUND MONEY
Commissioner Proctor Snys No FIutist
is True Democrat,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-John B. Proctor
of Kentucky, the chairman of the United
States civil service commission, has made
public an article reviewing the history
of the democratic partys position on the
question of the gold standard. Mr.. Proc
tor says he has been az some pains to col
loct authentic information regarding the
coinage laws OF the past, which satisfied
him that the trainers OF the constitution
and the founders of the government were
united and determined that the coined value
of our gold and silver money should cor
respond with the market value of the bull
lion contained. This, Mr. Proctor says, is
demonstrated by the writings of Jefferson,
Monroe and Hamilton. Mr. Proctor quotes
many high democratic authorities in sup
port of his position, and concludes by say
ing that many others might be cited to
show that the free silver plank in the Chi
cago platform is a violation of democratic
principles and that no man advocating fiat
money has right to call himself a demo-
crat.

ment "I make the claim that the sound

mean sound money democrats nor is my
reference intended to include free silver
republicans. At this time two years ago
this committee was claiming only 100 sure
republican districts but was predicting that
many of the doubtful districts would re-
turn republican members. We are now in
a better condition, feeling confident Of four
more votes than we did then. The result of
that election gave us PA members instead
Of 1870. | have made what | believe to be
a conservative estimate of the situation at
this time but have chosen to make no pre-
diction regarding fifty districts except that
the majority will undoubtedly be repre-
sented by republicans. As matters stand
now, according to my estimate given to the
press few days ago, the sound money re-
publicans are sure Of a working majority
of twenty-five. | by no means concede that
our majority in the next house will be
limited to that number.

that free silver will be woefully in the mi

soon to go with me.''
There are other O'Neills who would
like to have a share of the millions, but
Mrs. Ward says they cannot prove their
descent, and it is only her brothers and
sisters, her daughter, neice and nephew,
who will come into the estate. There is
a romantic story OF how the first O'Neill
came by his property and his name Of
the "Red Hand
In the good old-fashloned way of SOW
ereigns Henry II conferred great tract
of land in County Antrim on the one of
two suitors who would get there first.
OF these the Red O'NeilI was one. The
time of the contest was fixed; good
King Henry acted as starter, the course
being from Windsor Castle to the land
in question, the condition being that the
man who first laid hand on the land
should take thesprize.
Away sped O'Neill and his rival for
the Emerald Isle and crossed the Irish
sea needless of anything but of the land
greed that even in the present day has
actuated the wild rush of the "boomer." :"
Arrived at Lough Neagh, O'Neill's rival
secured the first boat, but O'Neill was
soon after him in a second. The rival
was almost across to the strand which
marked the limit of the promised land
and prepared to spring ashore.
| O'Neill, to prevent the fair demesne
being snatched from him, drew his
sword, sliced off his left hand deftly and
with a mighty effort threw the bloody
hand ashore just before his rival sprang
from his boat. The O'Neill's hand first
touching land made him owner of the
magnificent property for which the heirs
are now striving.

that IRISH ESTATE.
ssRed Band'' O'NeilPs Descendants
Heirs to $50 Millions.

The story in yesterdays CHRONICLE
seems to have had its foundation IN an
article that appeared in the Catholic
Seatinel of July 9th. The Sentinel gives
Mrs. .Thos. Woods and F. H. Van Nor
den as The Dalles claimants to the
estate, and very romantic story is told
in connection Herewith. Below is the
Sentinel article:
A hundred and eighty million dollars
seems a sum far beyond even the dreams
of the very wealthy, to say nothing of
the ordinary, everyday person. Yet in
Victoria, B. c.. living in modest little
house on Herald street, are a family
that do not dream, but look forward
with quiet confidence to possessing not
only this enormous sum, but a whole
Irish county thrown in.
Mr.. A. P. Freimuth. who came here a
short time ago and now plays the solo
cornet in the Fifth Regiment band and
wields the baton as leader of the Vic
toria theatre orchestra, is the husband
of one of the claimants to the estate of
the O'Neils of Antrim. Mrs. w. E.
Ward, of Los Angeles, Mrs. Freimuth' s
mother, is at present visiting her
daughter, and in the fall is going over
to Ireland on behalf of the American
heirs to claim the estate. From the
two ladies the history of the quest was
learned.
The estate they say has been in cham
Gerry for something like fifty years for
want of an heir. Mrs. Wards father,
John Falls O'Neill, was a younger son
of old Hugh O'Neill, the last to hold the
estate. Beiug younger son John Falls
O'Neill went to the United States to
seek his fortune, and after remaining
for some time in st. LOUIS, got the gold
fever in 1849, and Joined the stream OF
those who came to the Pacific coast.
He was captain in the Black Hawk war,
and now lies buried at Quincy, Plumaz
county. Now his descendants are look
ing eastward to store of gold that far
exceeds the expectations that drew the
old 'Forty-niner" to the West.
Capt. O'Neill leaves five children
alive, Richard O'Neill, of Bakersfield,
California; Charles Terrence O'Neill, ol
Los Angeles; Mrs. Mary F. Bell, Of
FrOyille, COL; Mrs. Theresa G. Wheeler
of Oakland, and Mrs. w. E. Ward, oi
