and at the time of the murder was
much in the company of Winner ana
Lon Lackey, the prisoner who was
brought here from Lexington, on Sat
urday last and who was taken to kan
sas City to guard against second
lynching. Last night Maggie Catron
made the following statement:
My knowledge has mostly been gain
ed through Lon Lackey since the muir
der was committed on the night fol-
lowing the preliminary trial here
stayed at my brothers home and Lack
ey came down to see me. asked him
what he knew of the murder and he
said he guessed he knew all about It,
He said on the night of the murder
Winner and Nelson asked him if he did
not want to make moonlight trip out
in the north part Of tow n to which he
.'Lackey said they drove to the gate
leading to Winners home, when the lat
ter remarked that, as he was SO close
to home, he believed he would get out
and stay, WhereupOn Nelson got out
and told LacIzey to hold the horse untiF
he came back.They We're gone for quite
awhile when both came back, got. into
the buggy and started home Then it
was that Nelson spoke up and told
Lackey what had been done and made
him swear to keep silent. I do not know
anything only what Lackey has told
me"
She said she had been threatened dur
ing the day by friends of Nelson, one
of the men lynched, as five women had
visited her during the day and every
one of them had told her she would be
lynched. When Lackey was taken away
from here he was driven past the wagon
which conveyed the bodies of Winner
and Nelson to this place. The prisoner
was all but paralyzed with fear and
pleaded with the officers to hurry him to
Kansas City.

A Telegraph Operator Envents an Engine
Which Makes Him q millionaire.
There Is a new telegraph operator at
Sleepy Eye, MINI. The reason for this
is that Grant Brambel, who held that
position until recently, has invented a
steam engine which he has sold to an
English syndicate for 81, 500. 600. Nat
urally Mr. BrambeI can afford to give
up the modest salary which he previous
" received for serving as a connecting
link, in conjunction with the telegraph
instrument and wires, between Sleepy
Eye and the rest of the world.
Mr.. Bramhel is an Englishman, about
40 years of age. and a rolling stone, hav-
ing visited nearly every quarter of the
globe. Four years ago he settled in
Sleepy Eye as station agent and tele-
graph operator for the Chicago and
Northwestern railway. The position
gave him a good deal Of leisure, which
he employed in working out the details
of his invention. A rotary engine con
structed on the plan of a turbine wheel
was the plan which he was trying to
perfect, and that is what he has accom-
plished.

and have been working along that line
for 2 years. I believe it will be hard
TO get anything simpler. more powerful
OF better IN its way than have.
The new Brambel engine is certainly
a wonderful contrivanee. It is compact,
light and simple of construction, and
one which has developed 40 horsepower
is small enough to be carried around in
the hand, weighing less than so pounds
The largest engine of this sort which
has yet been made is one which is being
used to run dynamos IN Trenton. 1t oc-
eupies a floor space of only by IS
inches, stands less than 2 feet high and
weighs 800 pounds. yet it furnishes 12O
horsepower. Mr. BrambeI has another

to those now in use as his improved en-
