SECURES ANOTHER DAYS IMMU-
NIFTY FROM AR
REST.
AUTHORITIES BEFRIEND HIM,
WHICH MEANS THAT CHANCES ARE
STRONG THAT HE WILL GET
CLEAR.
DEPUTIES ON THE ALERT
Baseless RumOrs That the eX-CitS
Clerk Is in MInne-
apOIis.

telegram from Bloomington. ILL.,,
received last night, says: Deputy Sheriff
James Eye applied today to Sheriff
Stone, Of Mclean county, presenting
reQuisitfOn papers and asking for the
immediate arrest of Charles F. Haney.
Stone refused to execute the warrant
on account of Haney's condition, and
Eye then put the papers in the hands
Of the county coroner and ordered the
arrest at once. The coroner thereupon
proceeded to the Haney residence only
to be met with pleas and appeals to
defer action until tomorrow. Rev. Pal
mer, Haney'S brOther-in-laW, begged
that another day be granted Haney,
and finally this was agreed to with the
understanding that Haney should be
turned over to the officers tomorrow,
Friday. Haney is very nervous and
shows signs of becoming exhausted.
Haney's friends are fighting bitterly
against the arrest, but it will never
theless occur Friday.
From the above, it would appear that
Haney would certainly be placed un-
der arrest today. The ract, however,
that his relatives begged one day Of
a
matter. 1t cannot be that he will be
physically any better able to bear all
that an arrest and a bOdyguard will
mean today, than he would if arrested
yesterday. The only conclusion, there
fore, is that the members Of his family
and his friends expect to be able to
bring some powerful influence to bear
upon the Illinois authorities 1t may
be that Judge Upton, who has proved
himself very much of a friend to the
Haney family, will take action this
morning similar to that taken on the
previous occasion of Haney's arrest.
There is one thing sure, however, and
that is that James Eye will take no
chances. Whatever his action in grant
ing the request of Haney's brother-in-
law meant, there is little doubt but
that he knew exactly what he was do
ing. and if Haney can be brought back
to Minneapolis, Eye will bring him
back.
The reports of Haney's relatives in
regard to the condition of the eX-clty
clerk do not agree with those which
the authorities have received from tie
men who have been watching Haney
for some time past. Deputy Sheriff
Pat Callahan has been on the ground
since Sheriff Phillips went into Office,
and his statements to the sherif'S CT
fee have been to the effect that Haney
has recovered from the attack which
laid him low at Normal. AS soon as
the requisitiOn papers were signed by
Gov. Tanner Wednesday a night and
day watch was put on the Haney resi-
dence and will probably be maintained
until the arrest today.
Some one started the rumOr yester-
day that Haney was in Minneapolis
and had been seen upon the street.
The story grew as it was passed along,
and finally the busy bodies had Mr..
Haney safely slowed away in a room
at the NicOllet hotel, from whence he
was to be secretly taken to the grand
jury room, where he was to tell his
story be put under bonds to appear at
the time of any trials which his evil
dence would make necessary, and then
! allowed to depart for Mexico, to remain
| there until his presence here should oe
again required.
For what purpose and by whom the
rumons were originated is a mystery,
but during their short career they ere
ated no end of excitement in several
quarters.
