A Warm Chase.

When Waggoner saw Mr.. Bowen
glance at him and then hasten to the
grocery store. he suspected that it
was the sheriff and hastily drove
away, going west along Front street.
Mr.. Bowen returned at once, having
procured sufficient evidence upon
which to act. and had another team
hitched up. Waggoner probably had
five minutes the start, and Mr.. Bowen
supposed that he would go to O. P.
Smiths house. Finding that none
of the party had returned there, he
took the 1920 p. m. train to Lake
Crystal and returned on the 400 a.
NJ. train, after watching the trains
and roads at Lake Crystal all night.
He was met at the depot in this city,
by Officer Thilgen, who told him that
two of the girls had returned to the
city with the team and had said that
Waggoner had gone to st. Peter. Mr..
Bowen got on the train again and
went to st. Peter. He found no trace
of Waggoner and returned to
Mankato.
Sheriff Bowen informed Chief
Wagon of what was up, and they had
an interview with the two girls and
learned from them that Waggoner
had gone up Front street only short.
distance, doubled back on State
street and driven to ST. CLAIR. There
he kept one of the girls, who are
sisters, and sent the other two back
to Mankato with the team: sending
money to pay the livery bill. The
girl who remained with him is named
Blanche Waggoner. The two officials,
with Mr.. Bowen's team, started at
HOO a. m. and drove to st. Clair.
There they learned that Waggoner
had hired Henry Menaige to drive
himself and Blanche to GAINESVILLE.
The officials drove on to GAINESVILLE
and learned that the fugitives had

girl had hired team, saying that
she wanted to drive to St. Clair and
would be back by noon. She had
picked up Waggoner.
Waggoner has an uncle, John Wag-
goner, near Alma City, and the Off
Gals suspected that the couple would
make for them. 1t appears that a
cousin, Geo. Waggoner, lives at James
Vile, but was not at home. Wag-
goner, when he learned this, con-

Waggoner's brother, and there he left
his cousin, Blanche. Messrs. Bowen
and Wagon, accompanied by Marshal
Connors, of GAINESVILLE, drove to the
house of Waggoner's uncle, John, a
mile east of Alma City, getting there
al $50 p. m. By threatning to arrest
John Waggoner's son for concealing a
fugitive from justice, the officers
succeeded in getting Claud Wag
goner.. The latter was hiding in the
woods, but accompanied his uncle
back to the house and did not offer
any resistance to arrest. He led the

DEMOCRATIC REASONS.

These are some of the reasons, real
and implied, put forth by the Demo.
Pops why Mr.. Eustis should not be
elected governor:
Because he owns the Stock Exchange build
ing in Minneapolis.
Because he owns the Chamber of Commerce
building in Minneapolis.
Because he was strong factor in the con-
struction of the 500 railroad road that has
benefited the people of the state millions of dol
lars in the saving of freight rates.
Because he has always been consistent Re-
publican.
Because he has befriended and is friend of
the old soldiers.
Because he is friend to the laboring men.
Because he employs Observation-Disclosures to
work for him.
Because he is on speaking terms with men
who handle wheat.
EBecause he deprecates and denounces corrup-
tion in every form.
Because he made the best mayor that Mime
apolis ever had.
Because wheat does not fetch dollar
bushel
Because he believes in and advocates sound
currency.
Because he declares that free silver stands in
this campaign as menace to continued pros
perity.
Because he loves his country and wants to see
the people prosper.
Because he has positive convictions and is
not afraid to express them.
Because, as governor, he will be "no mans
man."
Because, as governor, he will be fearless in
the discharge of his duties.
Because, as governor, he will right all wrongs,
if any exist, and will have Republican legis-
lation to aid him.
Because to his untiring efforts, while mayor
of Minneapolis, is due the conviction and
punishment of Hayward, the murder of Miss
Cling.
Because he is every inch manly man, a
scholar and patriot.
Because he is pure in private as well as public
life.
Other quite as cogent reasons might
be given for the Demo-Pop oppOsi-
tion, but these are quite sufficient to
show why Mr.. Eustis should be elect
ed. No candidate in this state was
ever put forward by any party whose
claim to support by people of all
classes is as strong as those presented
by Mr.. Eustis' candidacy, and the
damnable mud-slinging campaign
made against him, as we'll as the party
he islands for, should be an incentive for
every self.respecting man, whatever
his politics or political fealty may be,
to vote for him. The American pee
pie love fair play. The day has passed
when they will stand idly by and see
such outrageous ISLANDERS and villifi-
cations heaped upon an innocent
mans head without setting their seal
of condemnation upon the offenders.
Common decency has been thrown to
the winds by those charged with the
campaign of the Democratic. Populist
party this year. Never in the history
