found sticking in the flesh, but all Of
the shot passed through. The right
eye ball narrowly escaped being hit,
but Mr.. Bauer is able to see out of
both eyes. A portion Of the left side
of the upper jaw was shattered. The
skull was not fractured, nor was the
tongue injured. Mr.. Bauer has been
unable to talk so as to be understood,
and it is question whet her he will
ever again have the power of speech
and he will be disfgured for life. He
will recover unless pus poisoning sets
in He is unable to swallow at present.
Mr.. Bauer resides at No. GIT North
Fourth street and has wife and half
a dozen children. He was formerly
engineer at the oil mill. but since the
mill shut down has driven the mills
dray wagon. He is about forty eight
years Of age.
1t was found that seventeen shot
had penetrated the skin on Mr. Wen
ner's head and neck. He stated that
he was not more than two steps from
Mr.. Bauer when the gun went off.
None of the shots were taken out Sun
day. The left eye had narrow
escape, as shot struck on each side
of it and it was swollen shut. The
only serious wound which Mr.. Wenner
received was one made by shot that
struck his wind pipe, causing him to
cough some blood last night, at which
time he also had fever. Mr.. Wenner
is about twenty-five years of age, is
married, and resides on the second
floor of the Traub house, at the corner
of Broad and Elm streets. He is a
clerk at Fred Kron's store. When
seen today, hG was in bed, resting
easily.
What caused the gun to discharge
is not known, as Mr. Bauer did not
touch it, but had hold of the boat.
One of the hammers must have been
up, and may have slipped, or have
been Jared off by the pulling up OF
the boat. Mr.. Klughertz, who was
sitting IN the back seat at the time,
with his own gun in his hand, cannot
account for the accident any more
than the others can. Mr.. Kurkowski
was so far away that he could not
see it.

for Howard and that as soon as he re-
turned home Wright would call upon
him. The officers therefore went to
st. Peter and conversed with the
chief of police there. In the evening,
Wright was found coming from the
direction Of Mr.. Davis residence. Mr..
Davis was called up by telephone from
St.Peter, while here Saturday, and it
was thought that Wright was at the
ST. Peter end of the line.
1t has been developed that there is
a third member Of the gang in the
city, and very likely three or four
others, as the combination includes
six or seven, who work together.
There are no charges against the
other members, and they cannot be
molested so long as they behave them
selves.
Mr.. Eddy has been approached by
certain parties who have tried to in
duce him to withdraw his complaint
against Howard and Wright, and have
intimated to him that his money will
be returned to him if he will do this.
me officials believe that he will
stand pat, however, and carry on the
prosecution.
When searched, Wright did not
have much money. 1t is thought
that he has it in his satchel, if that
can be located.
Detective M. d. Bresnan, Of the
Omaha road with headquarters at ST..
Paul, is in the city and will assist in
collecting evidence to convict How
ard and Wright. He saw the two
prisoners In the county Jail, and
recognized Wright at once, but could
not place Howard, although remem-
bering having seen him somewhere.
He states that Wright is we'll known
criminal and that his true name is
Ironfoot johnson, but that he has gone
under the alias of Geo. A. Wright for
some years He states that Johnson
was locked up in Minneapolis last
week and in Omaha six weeks ago.
He states that johnson is now wanted
at St. Paul. He says that JUnusOc
has been a thief for years. He does
not yet know much of Towards re-
cord, but says that the gang com.
prises some of the most daring and
dangerous criminals in the country

QUEENS PARTNER.

Olaff Olsen made up his mind he
would go TO the Klondike. 1t took him
a long time to make up his mind. 1t
took him a longer time to get to the
kiondike. In the first place he made
a mistake. He selected the trail from
Skaguay over the White Pass to Lake
Bennett. Now that was bad, but not
SO bad as his next error. He would
not give it up and go by the Chilkoot
Pass, though he heard Chilkoot was
much easier. But that does not say
much for the Chilkoot Pass.

though he didn't know 1t. That is to
say, any other man would have thought
1t hard time; but OLAF. expecting bad
things, had no "kick," as he expressed
it, against adversely.
Olaff was an exceptional man on the
trail-phenomenally exceptional. For
on trail where each man had one
partner at least and most many, Olan
preferred having no partner.

me won't du," he said. Il might
want to do one thing and him anoder;

between Spain and the United States,

Great Britain in 1862. and Cuba and
the Philippines occupied. A very rare
and interesting plain Narrative OF
the capture of Manila was published by
Rear Admiral Cornish and Brigadier-
General Draper in reply to accusations
of infringement of the capitulations
made against these officers by the
Spaniards. Their own allegations are
sufficiently strong: Through the

WORLDS DIRrIEsr PEOPLE.
Residents of the Caucasus Who Rest
-Four Days . Week and Never Wash.

Residents of the Caucasus Who Rest
-Four Days a Week and Never Wash.
According to LIE Petit Journal Of
Paris. the dirtiest people in the world,
dirtier even than Lieut.. Peary found
the Eskimo, have recently been dis
covered by Russian traveller and ex-
plorer, NJ. Zienoyiff. in the Caucasus.
They dwell in an almost inaccessible
mountain range in a strip of territory
between the Black sea and the Caspian
sea; and for the last $500 years, ac-
cording to the scientist, they have re-
manned in the same primeval condi-
ton. They are called Svanctias, and
their village. although consisting of
miserable stone novels. without any
attempt at form or adornment, even
such as nature might suggest to them,
is not without certain picturesque
ness when seen from distance With
in, however, the huts are desperately
filthy, being filled with rags, skins.
vermin and dirt of every description.
Like the Eskimo and certain Austria
liam tribes and the Pueblos. they have
no fireplaces, their cooking being done
by fire kindled in hole scooped out
in the middle of the floor In these
houses, many of which measure only
10x14 feet, men and women and chill
| dren are huddled together, as many
as eight or twelve persons often occu-
plying a single hut, and in the winter
their cattle and mountain sheep share
their quarters. Every aperture is clos
ed on account of the cold. Horrible
diseases arise from this long imprison-
ment, aggravated by an abnormal con-
sumption of arrak, distilled drink Of
the Asiatics. Strange as 1t may seem.
they have adopted the holidays decreed
by almost every religious sect Thus
| four days in week no work is done.
The only industries of the people are
farming. bee culture and cattle breed
ing; and throughout their territory
there is not a single manufactured ar
ticle.
