HAS GINNER In TOW
SHERIFF WAGNER STARTS FROM
SCRANTON WITH THE FOR
MER ST. PAULITE
HE HAD TO FIGHT TO GET HIM
Minnehaha Was Conveniently
Arrested for Jumping Board
Bill, but This, 1t Seems, Didn't
Prevent the Ramsey County OFF,
Ger From Getting Him Away.

Rev" Samuel G. Ginner, indicted
for frauds in connection with the de-
funct Order of Minnehaha. Of which he
was president. is expected to arrive in
st. Paul from Scanton. Pa, tomorrow
in charge of Sheriff Wagner. He made
struggle to prevent the honoring Of
the reQuiSition.
Sheriff Wagener, armed with the
morning and expected to have no
trouble in securing his prisoner. but he
found snag awaiting him. Ginner
was originally arrested on a telegram
from Assistant County Attorney Zoll-
man advising the Scranton authorities
that he was a fugitive from Minnesota
justice and to detain him on that
charge until the arrival of Sheriff
Wagner.
1t appears. however. that in the
meantime Ginner had been doing some
hard thinking and the result was that
warrant was sworn out in Pennsyl-
Vania for Ginner's arrest on charge
Of jumping board bill. This fact
confronted Sheriff Wagner when he
appeared on the scene. and he wired
Mr.. Zollman Of the circumstances yes
terday morning. He was advised that
the Pennsylvania warrant could not be
made to hold against the requisition,
and apparently the Eastern authorities
became convinced of the fact, because
late in the afternoon Chief Deputy
Robert received a telegram announcing
that the sheriff had started with his
prisoner
Il have not the slightest doubt that
the board bill warrant was inspired by
Ginner himself in hopes of preventing
the requisition from being honored." I"
said Assistant County Attorney Zoll-
man yesterday. He is one of the
craftiest men that this office has ever
had to deal with. 1t was a. good bluff,
but it did not work. and I don't see
how it could. The sherln and his pris-
oner should be in ST. Paul by Thurs
day"

IL LlCIT INDIAN LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
"BoOtegging" is Carried ON Exten-

Subpoenas have been issued for Jim
Blackbird and nineteen other Omaha Indians
to testify before the United States grand
jury next Monday morning relative TO the
selling of liquor to Indians on the reserya-
tions in Thurston county.
While there has always been liquor sold
to the Indians upon the Omaha and Winnie
bago reservations the traliic has never
reached such an extent as II has during
the last few weeks. MOI long ago the In
dians on these reservations received some
thing like 100000 in cash on account Of
claims against the government About
that time the authorities az Washington cut
off the field deputies in the United States
marshal's office, and Immediately thereafter
the "bootleggers' commenced to get in their
work They entered the reservation from
all sides, many Of them having light wagons
loaded with pint and half-pint bottles filled
with the yilest kind of liquor. This stuff
they disposed OF to the Indians at 81 per
pint Another lot Of white men entered the
reservation from Iowa. They came by boat,
rowing across the river and establishing
themselves along the bank where they did
a thriving business. II Is said that for days

Tho damage suit OF Mrs. Sadie Mack
against Cornelius Reynolds. a member of the
fire department, is on trial in Judge Keysor's
court. The basis of the suit is an assault.
alleged to have occurred June 30 1898. The
damage is estimated at $1,000, The plaintiff
sets forth that the defendant made a violent
attack upon her and bruised her in painful
manner. She alleges that a big doctor bill
resulted and that she suffered much injury,
both mentally and physically,
The attitude Of the defendant Is that he
acted in sefdefense; that Mrs Mack was
making an assault upon Mrs. Reynolds and
her infant child, and that but for his timely
interference they would have sustained seri-
Gus injury. Mrs, Mack is OF middle age.

asking that the additional witnesses be al
lowed and Judge Baker granted the request.
He took occasion, however, TO remind the
county attorney that he should exercise dill
gence in the preparation of his cases and
that he should not come into court unpre-
pared to go ahead with trial, Judge Baker
spoke in language so plain as TO admit of no
ambiguous Interpretation.
Following this irregularity, fresh trouble
was encountered when the defense attacked
the information against Archibald and filed
motion to make the prosecution elect which
of the counts in the indictment the case is
TO be based upon. Lengthy argument fol-
lowed this motion. Only one $4,000 package
was stolen, but the information charges
Archibald with stealing It from the Pacific
Express company. from the First National
bank and from bank at ST. Paul, Neb. The
attorneys for the defense argued that the
state must settle upon the ownership OF the
money and so charge in specific manner.
The stolen money was being shipped by
Pacific express from the First National bank
of this city to the bank at st. Paul. The
Omaha bank delivered it to the express COM
pany and II was stolen while in transit 10 the
railway station and never reached the s..
Paul bank,
Archibald appeared serenely contented
as he sat in the court room. He
evidently relishes the traps into which the
county attorney falls. The regular attorney
for the express company has entered the case
and is making an energetic effort TO over
come the errors made by the county attor-
ney

Baker said he would withhold his decision
