ANDERSON HELD.
Waseca Man Charged with
Pocket Picking.
An Owatonna Man Robbed Friday Even
ing and Accuses Anderson OF
the Theft.

Another case of pocket picking oc-
Cured Friday evening, and one ofithe
parties accused of being implicated
in it is under arrest. Peter P. Thin
sen, of Owatonna, who is an old, re-
tired farmer, was among those who
come to the city to see the street
fair. He was standing in the crowd
at about seven O'Clock that evening,
listening to band playing. A cou-
pie of men who appeared to be intox-
icated jostled against him. One was
carrying a macintosh on his arm and
managed to throw it over tMr. Thin
sens head. The latter threw it off
and the strange rs started to depart.
Mr.. Thimsen suspected that the men
were playing a game on him, and felt
for his pocket book. He discovered
that his pocket book was gone, and at
once started to follow the two men,
who had not gotten far away.
Mr.. Thimsen was in company with
friend, Mr.. Weldon. of Tinkcomville,
and sent the latter for policeman,
while he continued to follow the two
men. The men entered saloon,
where the one with the macintosh
put the latter on, and both departed
at once through the rear door and
were lost. The police made thor
ough search and soon found man
whom Mr.. Thimsen said was the one
with the macintosh. This party was
placed under arrest and gave his
name as BENJAMIN Anderson.
He said that he has been
living in Waseca for three years,
and is steam pipe titter'by trade. He
is tall man, of good appearance, and
about thirty years of age. Mr.. Thin
sen Identifies him as the party who
threw the macintosh over his head.
Mr.. Thimsen's pocketbook contained
S1.25. He did not feel any Cne's hand
in his pocket.
Anderson denies the charge, and
says that he was under the influence
of liquor that evening and did not
know exactly what he did. He was
arraigned Saturday on the charge
of grand larceny in the second degree,
and his hearing was set for Monday
at 900 a. m. He was anxious to have
it at once, but this was impossible.
Bail was fixed at $500, and Anderson
was committed to jail.
Anderson was held Friday after
noon for short time on suspicion
that he was the party who picked @.
Wilkinson's pocket of S11.50 during
the sports, but was released as there
was no evidence against him.

As in Days of Old.

The pan handle is to be congratu-
lated on the increased activity in rail-
way construction. Lewiston being
situated at the confluence of the Snake
and Clearwater rivers occupies very
fortunate position with reference to ex-
list by reason of better railway faculties.
For years Lewiston was the gateway
through which every pound of freight
bound for the great gold diggings of
Pierce City, Florence and Warrens
was bound to pass, and in some way
or another every pound was made to
pay tribute.
Now that the wonderful resources of
the country that lies to the east of that
city are becoming known, and the
railroads are stretching out across the
mountains to secure the business OF
those vivified camps Lewiston seems
to control the situation the same as
in the days when the pack train and
bull teams were the movers of mer.
chandise Boise Democrat.

for the assault, but the officers upon
information gathered from various
sources made complaint and secured a
warrant for Jack Thornton. However
at this writing the accused has evaded
arrest. Myers was only semi-concious
for several hours after he was found
on the streets. 1t was feared the
wounds would be very serious but they
soon turned out to be less serious than
at first seemed to be probable. Thorn
ton it Is believed never left the city
and it is believed he will appear and
answer the charge after Myers RECEIVERS
and the excitement dies down.

THE BUFFALO HUMP MINES.
TEN FIGURES REQUIRED TO EX-
PRESS THE VALUE OF THE
ORES IN THAT CAMP.
Fortunes For Fractions
or Claims are Offered Daily. A
New Claimant tor the Honor of
the Discovery. W.P. Cot
ter a Newspaper Man.

Stories of the wealth of the Buffalo
Hump camp continue to dazzle the
perceptive faculties like dreams of
wonderland. The realization of the
wealth of the camp comes comes with
the sale of claims and fractions of
claims for comfortable fortunes. Ezra
Baird last week sold the Fortune
claim for $25, 900. Mr.. Cussick sold
another holding for $4,000. These
figures drive off the glamour of the
of the dream aud awake us to the cold
facts of wonderful camp right at our
door.
The interest in the discovery of the
camp is revived this week by the ap-
pearance on the scene of w. P. Cotter
another new made local millionaire.
Mr.. Cotter is newspaper man. He
has pioneered in the newspaper field
from Texas to the Canadian line and
he has prospected for q ,artz all over
the west. He knows III the great
camps as well as the country boy
knows the school house lane. Mr.
Cotter was in the Buffalo Hump camp
the first man last spring. He made
the real discovery of the big leaf. He
ook out the first ore and he had the
first assay made. But when he had
given to the world the cue to the
greatest quartz deposit in the world,
he took sick. He was broke too which
was double misfortune. He 1irst
made his locations, blazed his lines,
set his stakes and dug his ten-foot hole.
This work left HIM helpless. He told
his big story of an SO-foot ledge of rich
ore of big assays, but those who lis
tened looked askance. But Mr. Cotter
wore out his rheumatism in solitude,
unaware of the big things that were
being done over and around the claim
of which he unused and dreamed. He
recovered h however to learn that his
fortune was made, that his claim was
on the great Buffalo ledge. He awoke
to find himself millionaire.
The Buffalo Hump camp is in an in
accessible region. 1t is estimated that
wagon read to the camp will cost
100000. The question of Transports
ton is an important one. The proba'
BILE railroad connection has been con-
sidered in all its phases. The best
authorities express the idea that the
real incentive of the railroad war in the
Clearwater basin comes from the de-
sire to reach this camp. The nearest
river route is by the Clearwater. This
will bring the road within fourteen
miles of Buffalo Hump. The Other
route is by the way of Mt. Idaho. The
distance from that place by Slate creek
ia So miles. The railroads will surel,
extend branches to the Hump during
the next year. The traffic will justin,
a road from the beginning. There Il
the wealth of an empire there. Con
seryative men estimate the value o
the ore by billions.
A number of local business men arr
holders of valuable Buffalo HUM
property. Mr.. Baird has disposed o
only small portion of his holding
&c. Rice and J. n. Rice are inter
esied in many of the best properties il
the district. The local holdings vii
greatly benefit Lewiston. And tn
development of the camp will warran
a grand future for the city.

Death OF Seven Persons.
Fayetteville, Ark, May 22.-The tor
nado which passed through portion of
Northwest Arkansas Friday night did
immense damage to property and caused
the death of at least seven persons. Re
ports of the destruction are coming in
slowly, and it is feared that later details
will add other names to the death list.
The storm came from the southeast,
passing through the great fruit belt Of
the Ozark fruit region and tore its way
through the southern end of Benton
county, spending it's force in the White
river valley. Everything in its path was
destroyed, the greatest damage being
done near Elm Springs, Lowell and
Midtown, the latter place being entirely
swept away. At Elm Springs houses
were blown down, orchards destroyed
and stock killed. One man, who had
sought safety in a cellar, was killed by
falling timbers. The house blew away
and the cellar was filed with debris,
crushing the man to death.
Two miles east of Elm Springs a man
named KilIingsworth and his wife, were
killed. Their house was entirely de-
stroyed and they were crushed to death
i'm the debris. 4 mile away farm
house Occupied by an Italian family, was
wrecked and the inmates were instantly
killeI. The residences Of w. II. HOl-
comb and w 3. Pierson were destroyed
Twenty houses are reported blown away
in the vicinity of Elm Springs, but the
details have not been received
The storm was less severe in Craw-
ford county, but one life being lost near

The home of w. S. Kimbrough, near

heavy artillery of the California vOlun-

men, under Brigadier General Thomas
Anderson. Although General Anderson
takes charge of this command, it is un-
derstood that General Otis, who is in
San Francisco, will accompany the ex-
pedition. The Peking was originally Sc
cured by the navy department, but as
she is SO large and serviceable as a troop
shin. the army is using her in conjunc-
tiOn with the navy. Besides the troops,
she will carry supplies and ammunition
for the navy.
General Miles spent the morning in his
office. In answer to inquiries he said
there was nothing to announce as to his
own plans or the concentration of troops
in the South.
Secretary Alger called at the White
House at 1890 a. m. to-day and was
with the President fifteen minutes. La

Secretary Day and Assistant Secreta-
ry Cridler, were at the State DEPART
ment part of the day, but it was said
by those in authority no word of import
ance had been received from our consul

would be about the first to report an
engagement in that locality.
The report from Madrid that the off
cials there threaten to cut the cable
from Galveston if our ships isolate Blar-
co by cutting the cables at Santiago, are
received with much amusement by off
cials familiar with cable routes. The
cable from Galveston runs to Vera Cruz
and other Mexican ports. 1t is so far
west tnat the Spanish Admiral could
not reach it without a phenomenal run,
and if he succeeded in cutting it there
would be no strategic advantage against
the United States, as the line is rarely
used for government business.
