ZELTNERS JAILED.
The Murderers of Lawyer
Westenhaver Surrender.
Militia Called Out and Arrive, But Men
Give Up to Sheriff.


Bowling Green. Ohio, March 26.-The
surrender. this morning, of Paul and
John Zeltner, the murderers of Law
yer Westenhaver, who for IS hours de-
fled arrest at their home at Hoyt's Cor
ners. has been attended by an almost
complete subsistence of the excitement
and it now appears that the whole of
the affair has been somewhat exagger-
ated. The situation was for time
critical. but the extent Of the excite
ment was magnified. At no time was
there any danger of clash between
the citizens and the militia. When the
Bloomdale Rifles arrived at HOyt's
Corners. at / A. NJ. the greater part
of the crowd had dispersed and the ex-
element had subsidized. In fact before
the militia arrived the guard around
the Zeitners' home had been SO relaxed
that they could have easily escaped.
There was no demonstration when
the fugitives surrendered, this morn
ing. the people apparently being sat
isfied to permit the law to take its
course. The Zeltners had to be assur-
ed by the sheriff. however. before they
agreed tos surrender. that they would
be fully protected. Small crowds Of
people gathered at the stations along
the railroad as the special train which
brought the prisoners to Bowling Green
whirled by. but there was no hostile
demonstrations.
1t is not believed. here, that there
will be an attempt to lynch the pris-
oners. The services of Co. H of North
Baltimore, which will be taken aboard
the special train. were not needed and
the company was not even disembark-
ed. The sheriff concluded that the
presence of militia here was unneces-
sary and the Bloomdale Rifles were
sent home. The Zeltners are now in
Jail here.
At $50 this morning. Ex-Sheriff
Riggs, accompanied by a neighbor
named Brown, started toward Zeltners'
house. They offered no resistance to
their approach and they were admitted
to the house.
Mr.. Riggs told them that the militia
was ready to make an attack on the
house and that they should be cOmpell-
ed to peaceably surrender. The Zelt-
ncrs seemed not disposed at first to
give up and said that they feared the
mob which remained outside the mi
litia lines. They tried to induce Mr..
Riggs to accompany them through the
timber. but he refused and they were

NELSON RIVER TRAGEDY.
Captain John Mason, of Philadel-

Laird River, August 26, 1898, via Ed
monton, n. w. T., Jan. 27.-Captain
John Mason, Of a large Philadelphia
party bound for the gold fields, was
accidentally drowned In the Nelson
river, three miles above its mouth on
the afternoon of August "a. The Phila-
delphians with the Big Four party of
Chicago, were rafting horses and out
fits down the Nelson river and the
raft which Captain Mason was on,
stuck on a sand bar.
1t was necessary to unload the
horses in order to get the raft off. Cap
tain Mason stayed with the horses on
the bar and the raft drifted down the
river to make a landing. When about
half a mile below, the men on the raft
heard the captain cry loudly for help,
as he was driving the horses to the
shore. 1t Is not known whether he was
taken with cramps or was struck by a
horse. His hat was found about half a
mile below but the body was not re-
covered.

\. Taylor, Carl Rostrom, Philip Kari
son, Olef Scheller, Frank Tomlnson,

riman, Tenn, and two other men,
Mrs. Mccullough, the wife of one Of
the party, today said that one month
ago word was brought to Toronto Of
Captain Mason's death by two men,
who said they had found the body and
remained with the party for two days.
Mrs. Mccullough feels that if this is
true the men would certainly have
brought word from the Others of the
party, to be forwarded to this city. She
says that Captain Mason carried about
$4,000 in belt about his waist, rep
resentlng the shares of all the men,
and other money to pay for claims.
The last letter Mrs. Mccullough re-
celved came in July. The party was
then on Peace river and had passed
safely through Death Valley. They
were short OF provisions. Since then
nothing has been heard from any Of
the party.
Captain Mason and his brother came
here from the west The former had
been miner for many years and is
said to have been part owner of the

known of him here.
