THE REAL CAPTAIN WELLER

According to a Friend he Was Easy
Going and an Attractive Mark
for Sharpers.
BOSTON, MASS, Feb. 6.-Captain Lee
Weller, for whose murder Frank Butler is
now held in San Francisco, lived in South
Boston from July, 1893, to August, 1896.

with his wife, and was, to use the express
sion OF w. T. Nuell, who was intimate
with him, a good thing fer men with
schemes. Captain Nuell says:
"The Captain was easy going, but his
wife had lots of am mbltion. she gave les
sons in vocal music and in one of the Back
Bay churches sang for nearly two years.
They remained here till August, 1895, when
they went to Johan nnesburg, where Mrs
Weller died within year.
Now to illustrate the sort of a person
the captain was and how easily he was
taken in want to tell you one of his ex-
periences while in Boston He WAS out Of
work and saw an advertisement for real
estate agents.
"He thought he was qualified for the
position and was told that he could have
the position by depositing 5000. He al
ways had plenty of money forthcoming
when it was needed and acceded to the de-
mand. He paid down the 5000 and was
20 receive $1S week for his services. At
the end of the first week he was DIS
charged and tried in vain to compel the
men 10 return the deposit. He would not
prosecute the proprietor of the place
The notorious Doc Langley was arrested
afterward and is now up on a long sem
tence.
"a short while afterward he went into
the candy business with a sharper and
dropped several hundred dollars more.
He reported the case to the polio, but re-
fused to prosecute. He also cot caught
on big block of valueless gold mining
stock"

dian Northwest, Butler was q member OF
Troop of the Northwest Mounted Po-
lice, stationed in Regina, the capital OF
the Northwest Territories.
Troop B, at the time of the rebellion
was under command of Major Short, a
thorough disciplinarian, who was some
years later killed in an explosion in Que
bee.
The rebellion broke out in March, 1885,
the first overt act being committed by the
halfbreeds under Gabriel Dumart, Reil' 5
lieutenant, on March 26. at place called
Duck Lake. The halfbreeds attempted to
take possession of some stores under
transport to Fort Carlton. Superintendent
Crozier. with eighty men, was in charge of
the stores, and Dumart had about 200 half
breeds. The engagement was sharp and
decisive, the halfbreeds being repulsed.
but not before several on both sides had
been killed and wounded.
Butler was not in this engagement and
did not see any actual fighting during the
rebellion, which lasted for several weeks,
until Riel was defeated by General Mid
die ton at Batoche, and a few DAYS later
Poundmaker, the head of the rebellious
Indians, surrendered to Colonel Otter at
Battleford.
'I was stationed at Qu' Appelle cross
ing. said Butler, with part OF our troops
to keep the crossing clear, and knew very
little OF what was going on.
"If the halfbreeds had come our wav,
however, l suppose we would have been
forced to give them battle, but they didn't,
and we had an easy time of it.
II liked the Northwest, although at Re-
gina it was pretty cold during the winter,
but one gets used to it.
Il enlisted for three years. the usual
term, and after it expired did not care TO
re-enlist.
II understand that the mounted police
are now more like the cavalry in the
English army and the members have not
such good time as they used to have"
The re bellion was in 1885 and Butler
was member of the force then. 1t is
evident that he was in Canada from that
time till 1888, when he said he was in
Quebec, so that his history is now pretty
well known from 1885 up to the present
time.
He would not say what name he went
under while in the mounted police, but
Captain Lees will communicate with the
Canadian authorities and will no doubt
be able to trace him.

Australian murderer now under arrest in
San Francisco, sailed from here in March.

ship Scottish Glens.
The records of the British Vice Consul
office show that Ashe secured his dis.
charge from the British ship Star OF
Russia to take the boatswain's berth oil
the Scottish Glens, the opportunity for
promotion evidently actuating him in the
change.
While the Scottish Glens was living at
Astoria, waiting to get to sea, a sailor CIV

IN fight, and warrant for his arrest on
charge OF assault was issued. 1t was
never served, however, the man disap-

working on railroad being built out of

work him with my gang. The fellow ap-
peared IN trouble, starting at every sound
coming up behind him. l did not paw
much attention to this, thinking him a
probable deserter. He had no blankets.
and somehow, feeling for him, l took him
to bunk with me. During the night he
told me bis story. He said his name was
Ashe, but that under another name he
had got into trouble in Astoria, and that
the officers were after him. | remem be

good berth he had lost through getting g

The next morning when l started for

of me not to take him along, but find him
