WRIGHT AND HOWARD.
Their Attorney was Simply Asking for
Information.


1t appears that the statement pub
lished yesterday that "Mr. DAVIS pro-
posed to County Attorney Hughes
that the two prisoners, Howard and
Wright, plead guilty and receive
short sentences, of not to exceed two
years in the penitentiary," does not
exactly express the sense of the con-
versation that is said to have occurred
between the two sattorneys. Mr..
DaYis did not propose that the prison
ers plead guilty, but is said to have
asked what would be the shortest
sentence that sthe:scounty attorney
would agree to in case they were to
plead guilty. At the same time he is
said to have disclaimed authority to
entered into an agreement or to say
that his clients would plead guilty.
He is said to have askedswhether the
state would be satisfied with year
or year and half. Wright and
Howard have, of course, denied that
they are guilty, and will stand trial,
This explanation is not made at the
request of any one, but forlsthe pur-
pose of making more plain our mean

tion of the defendants may not be

BOO GANG REEVES.
The Old Cave Resort is Reconstructed
and Occupied.

The Boo gang has rebuilt it's rem
devious between the Minneapolis &
St. Louis road and the river. This
cave was destroyed some three years
ago, when the police broke up the
gang, but the crowd seems to have
gotten together again recently. The
gang has an underground room about
fourteen feet square and eight feet
high in the center. The roof is sup.
ported by rafters, upon which is laid
sheet iron rescued from scrap piles.
Dirt is put on top of this. This re-
sort has been constructed at much
expenditure of labor, aud contains a
table, lamp, etc. There are signs of
card playing, The police are on the
lookout for the gang, and the lads
who compose it have been spending
their evenings at home instead of at
their cave, which is the product of
their reading f1ashyIliterature.
