Judge Slett's courtroom there was not
sound TO be heard except the words of
the officers Of the court which were
spoken III low and subdued tone. The
prisoner was composed and cool and did
not exhibit the nervousness that he has
shown all along. \ slight tremor OF his
lips and a twitChng of the nerves of his
mouth showed however, that he was
much concerned over the affair.
The courtroom was packed to the doocS
and the streets outside were thronged
with people eager TO catch Il glimpse of
the prisoner. There was no feeling
against Corbett and the general belief
seemed to be that Corbett was not the

grant him this concession.

KRUGER WAS FOXY.
British Agents Clever1y Chilled by
the Willy Burghers.


New Yolk, Dee. 2G.-A dispatch TO the
Herald from London says: y storm is
brewing on the course of the government
toward Gen. Sir William Butler. whose
conduct at tha outset Of the war met
with much criticism. Gen. Butler sent Il
series of dispatches warning the govern
ment against attacking the Beers. giving
details Of their condition for war which
have been verified hy recent events. His
dispatches were very distaStcful to the
government and Gen. Butler was harsh
ly criticised.
1t is wsll-known here that British
agents of the intelligence department
were sent from time to time to find ont
what the Beers were doing in the way
Of armam, nj. Ihn Beers knew all about
it. but simulated natycte, and conducted

real guns. with which the war is conduct

carefully hidden that scarce a soul out

government sent out guns equal IL callber
to what the agents had been allowed 10
see. In the same view il i thought that
the Ro"rS undcrstattd their numerical
forces and small arms. Ii is understood
that all Of these things were told to the
home government by Gen Butler with
the re suit that Butler was called disloyal
and pro- Bccr and rabid papers demanded
his degradation.

ALLEGED SAF[BLOWERS.
Three Men in Jail at Marinette

Confined in the Marnette county Jail
are the three alleged Safeblowers, John
Edwards. j. l.. Murphy and Thomas
Evans, the names they gave when ar
rested. They We're taken into custody
Il month ago by local officials, who caught
the three i'll ii saloon and captured them
at the point of the revolver. But as Yet
no direct evidence has been secured
against the men.
The men were not searched when first
arrested and the next morning iii the
path they had trayersed on their way TO
lar tools and IL package containing @,W
in postage stamps and valuable papers
which had been stolen from Il poStof-
fee in Wallace, Mich. but the articles
were not found on the men aud 1t makes
it more difficult to faSten guilt on them.
On their persons when searched at the
county jail were found dynamite caps,
money and watches.
1t is thought that they opened at least
Il dozen safes in OcontO, Menomlnee,
OcOnto Falls and several small towns
north of here. securing several thousands
of dollars and yaluables. In the pocket
nf q vest worn by the man who gave his
name as John Edwards was found an eN-
press receipt for goods forwarded to
Omaha. This was traced up and 1t was
ascertained that the goods sent consisted
of Il box of jewelry stolen from the safe
of l.. w. BraZcau, an Oconto merchant.
The Oconto officials received this box
last week from the express company at
Omaha.
Thomas Evans. one of the three, Is Il
former inmate of Waupun, and II was
due to his intimacy here with Il local eN-
convict that the gang was tipped off to
the officers. All three. since their con
tinement, have been absolutely reticent
and have divulged nothing. They have
employed counsel ana expect to make Il
hard fight when brought up on the charge
of burglary or Safehiowing.
The government is preparing TO take
them to Marquette, Mich. for trial IN the
nited States court when their terms for
carrying concealed weapons are finished
here. They were each given sixty days
for the rcy0lverS found on their persons
when arrested. The authorities Of Ocon-
to and Menominee are also looking for
them.
