NOT BERNHARDT.
The Sibley Prisoner was a
MankatO Man.
Some Young Fellows from this City
were Rounded Up by the Sibley
Police.

Deputy Sheriff Stevens returned tins
afternoon from Sibley, Iowa. where he
went yesterday in response to a tele-
gram saying that Henry Van Bern
hardt or a man answering his descrip-
ton had been arrested there. MI.
Stevens found that the man under
arrest was not Van Bernhard but he
learned that Van Bernhardt had been
there, and is probably making his way
toward Omaha.
Some Mankato boys came into Slbiey
0n q freight train Tuesday, and that
evening were taken into custody by the
authorities, as they had no visible means
of support and it was thought that the
Lake Crystal forger might be among
the gang. A young man named butcher
and another one made their escape from
the officers in the darkness and have
not been heard of since. Two hours
later, horse and buggy were stolen
from Sibley resident, but the theft
has not vet been connected with these
gnen.
The other two parties were locked up
snd turned out to be Harry Douck, who
formerly worked at The Saulpaugh, and
Irwin Day. They were released and are
now on their way back Day is a young
boy, and is said to have run away from
his home
Van Bernhardt was seen about the
railroad yard l tie Monday night. There
was rumor today that he had walked
10 Rapidan and taken train there for
the east. A large number of postal
cards bearing his picture have been
sent out to towns in Iowa and else
where, and the authorities believe that
Ehey will soon have him rounded up.

of civilized warfare as to plan arson and
the massacre of non -combatants-should
be trusted TO establish a stable govern
ment and guarantee the protection of prop
erty, could only occur TO the minds OF
Senator Hoar and his admirers.
ANY man who prefers that the American
people. the most numerous aggregation of
civilized men, as well as the richest and
most efficient, should persist in the selfish
isolation that was essential to the safety
of the pioneer colonists, cannot muster the
courage to announce his cowardice ana
meanness. He is rebuked by every dollar
expended for missionary work and by the
imperial history of Great Britain. The
representative American knows that with
enlightenment and wealth comes the re-
sponsibility for their extension to less for
tunate countries If the opportunity offers.

coming fit for self-government. He prates
of the inalienable right of the Filipinos
to an independence that would be their
sure destruction. because he would shirk
the burden of imposing on them stable
government under the sovereignty OF this
country. The people understand the motive.
they see the selfishness and cowardice that
inspire the address in behalf of the rebels,
and they estimate correctly the weakness
of the authors of the appeal. Therefore
they dismiss it with contempt.

Dexter Mo-. March 27.-Emma Hem
erickson was shot yesterday By a sherins
posse whom she held at bay with rifle
Tor over fifteen minutes after they had
killed her father. The outlaws abandoned
nope when she fell and took to flight.
Two besides the wounded girl were cap
tured
Charles Hendrickson was the leader of a
gang of stock thieves who have been oper-
ating in this section for several months.
The regular officials failed to either run
the thieves down or to prove their iden-
tlty. Finally the citizens employed de-
tectives, who located the thieves The
gang escaped into this county and until
yesterday kept in hiding in the woods.
Sheriff Evans and posse found Hen
erickson, his daughter. and several of his
band in an Isolated house. When called on
to surrender the reply was a yolley from
each window For fifteen minutes the
shooting was intermittent, the Hendricks
son band having the protection of ths
house and the officers firing from behind
trees and other shelter. Finally Sheriff
Evans called on his men TO close in on the
house, and the outlaws. being largely out
numbered, sought 10 es-aps by flight Hen
erickson and his daughter came first and
at the first fire Hendrickson fell with bull
let in his head. While the others of the
band backed away toward the timber in
the rear of the house, holding back their
pursuers by their fire. the woman stood be-
side her dead father and continued to fire
at the officers. They made for cover again.
As they turned the girl fired at and hit
Deputy Sheriff Booth. who was seriously
wounded. a second later a shot from be-
hind tree struck the girl in the breast
and she fell. Her stand had saved five OF
her companions. who escaped during the
short check OF the posses charge When
picked up she could not speak and she will
probably die.

imperialists as Car Reed, Senator Hale.
and Representative Boutelle, is there pri-
waite American citizen whose name is at
tsched TO the protest sent out from Boston
for signatures. 1t would be strange, in
deed, il in the Hub there were none to
issue an address in favor OF the inde-
pendence of any barbarous people, when
there is no other conceivable cause that is
without its advocates, from the abolition
OF marriage to the extraction of gold from
the waters of the sea. Somebody in Boston
has induced Senator Hoar and other de-
cayed statesmen of the old Federalist
type to guarantee the payment of the job

The secretnry,s Journey

There are newspapers in this country
that seem to lack that esteem for Secre-
tary Alger which his services during the
Civil and Spanish wars merit Because he
has taken with him on his trip to Cuba
his former business partner, NJ. S. Smith,
of Detroit and has instructed Colonel
Hecker. who has been suspected of bust
ness partnership with the Secretary, TO
meet the party and conduct it through the
safer sections of the island, these papers
suggest all sorts of deals to obtain business
concessions there.
1t is known that Secretary Alger select
ed Colonel Hecker for master of transpor-
tation in the war with Spain, although 1t
is not matter of public knowledge that
he had ever had any training in that line.
At least it could hardly be claimed that
he was better fitted for the heavy respon-
sibilities of this position than railroad
men who had achieved fame in the solution
of transportation problems and were pa
triotic enough 10 serve the Government on
demand. This and the undoubted enter
prise of Colonel Hecker in suggesting such
needs of the Cubans as could be met only
by corporations, have led preiudiced news
papers to doubt the strictly governmental
character of the secretary's journey.
The fact probably is that Secretary Alger
feels sense of responsibility for the well
fare of the Cubans who are, for the mo-
ment, wards of the War Department.
While the Foraker amendment to the
Army bill has tied his hands in a meas
ure by preventing the Secretary from
granting concessions in the island to Mr..
Smith and Colonel Hecker, there are
many franchises of doubtful legality which
could be brought TO life and perhaps win
ratification by the proper authorities, if
judiciously handled. This would be di-
rectly in the interest of the Cubans. and
no fair-minded person could object to a
reasonable profit for the corporation reviv-
ing them. If the friends of Cuba just
mentioned-Secretary Alger Colonel Heck
er, Mr.. Smith, and others-endeavor to
promote the welfare of the island by the
buying up of stock in corporations that
have only projected great enterprises, it
may be greatly to their credit. Also to
their profit
