hurry to fill rush order. The smooth
faced young man also received this
consignment.
That afternoon it came to light that
the whole affair was a grand swindle,
and that the innocent appearing young
man was a clever swindler. None OF
the wholesale houses had telephoned
for cigarettes; they all had plenty Of
coffin nails to go around. In short,
the houses Of Allen e. Company, Sea-
bury & Company and Griggs, Cooper &
Company were robbed of 10000 cigar
cites each, amounting in value TO the
total of $120.
The matter has been reported to the
police, and Chief Schweitzer has a man
at work on the case. The chief learned
that the same game was worked over
in Minneapolis not more than a week
or two ago, and that the swindler had
gotten away with $4,000 cigarettes in
the Mil City.
Detective Morrissy, of Minneapolis,
was in st. Paul yesterday comforting
with the local department. They are
on the track Of the culprit, and conf

YOUNG GIRL MURDERED.
n-Year-OId Boy Arrested,
Charged With the Crime.


Charged With the Crime.
CHICAGO, Sept. A.-The dead body of
Jennie Hickey, 13-year-old school girl was
found on the breakwater at the foot of
Thirty-sixth street this morning. She had
been murdered. Her skull had been beaten
in. Although the body was found early in
the day it was not identified until 10 o'clock
tonight when two sisters of the girl found
her body in the morgue. Thomas Rutledge,
an eXpressman, 19 years of age, was ar
rested late tonight, and, although he denies
having known the girl or being in any way
concerned in the crime there is an exceed
tngly strong case of circumstantial evidence
against him. The girl left her home at 747
Thirty-seventh street early last evening to
go to the residence of her aunt, at Thirty
ninth and Dearborn streets. She never
reached there and was never seen alive by
any of her relatives after leaving the house.
She was, howevei, seen ia company with
Rutledge, the two being not far from her
aunt's home. Early this morning Rutledge
was seen driving his wagon toward the spot
where the girls body was found, and there
was bundle in the wagon which is now
supposed to have been the body of the
murdered girl. When found the body had
been nearly disrobed, being clad only in
the underwear The dress and skirts were
thrown down beside the corpse.
After the body of the girl had been iden-
titled it was taken to the home Of her parents
and Rutledge was among those who crowded
into the house to view the remains. 1t was
while he was gazing at the childs dead body
that he was taken into custody by the police.
He told numerous contradictory stories re-
gerding his whereabouts, and was caught in
numerous falsehoods before he had been
cross-examined fifteen minutes. The police
are confident that he enticed the girl away
murdered her some time during the night
and in the morning threw her body on the
breakwater with the idea of conveying the
impression of suicide

Latest Gossip Anent Gen. MerrItt's
Home Coming and Wedding.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept 21.-
Military authorities here, for some rea-
sOr unknown outside of soldier circles,
are confident that General Wesley Mer-
rift. governor general of the Philippine
islands will arrive here on the steam
ship China, which is due from Hong
Kong on Wednesday.
According to cable advices, Gen. Mer-
ritt started for Paris by the Peninsular
route, but military men here insist that
this is mistake, and that he will come
by the China. 1t is a significant fact
that Gen. Greene, who is known to be
on the China, has chartered a special
train for the East.
The current story is that this train
is really for Merritt, and that his plans
are known to Miss Laura Williams, the
generals fiancee, and that the two will
be made man and wife on the train
somewhere between here and Chicago,
Miss Williams coming West to meet the
general. Then they are to proceed to
Paris, where the honeymoon will be
spent, while Gen. Merritt attends to
his duties with the peace commission.

four of the paymasters in Manila were
