he was staying with good lady who
was yearning for the good old times and
mourning for the degenerency OF mod

said that Wesleyan ministers of the ear

in his study at o'clock in the morning.

Sheriff Barncard of Steele county was
in the city Wednesday. Accompanying
him were John Ives and Will Jones, two
former prisoners in the Steele county
jail, to whom another prisoner, Ennght,
had confessed to the murder Of Police
man Winkelmann in this city two years
ago. The county attorney spent several
hours examining the two witnesses and
found that if one-tourth Of EnrigEt's
statements we're true he would undoubt-
eddy be entitled to rank as the most
prolific murderer in latter-day history.
His stories, however, smack Of the man
