minutes.
The crime for which Lucey was exc
cuted was the murder of Patrick L. Re-
gan in Silver Bow canyon, thirteen miles
from this city, on the nightsof Sept. 2,
1898. The murder was a brutal one, and
although the evidence on which Lucey
was convicted was purely circumstantial
1t was so strong that no doubt of guilt
existed in the minds of the jurymen
Regain was killed with a stone He
was robbed and his body thrown into a
creek, where it was found by section
hands. The murderer was traced to the
Black Hills,in South Dakota, and late,

nected with the disappearance of Arthur
Peterson opened here today. The state
is represented in the prosecution by
Judge F. S. Brown, county attorney,

son, of this city. The trial is progress
ing slowly owing to the large number of
witnesses to be examined. The pris-
oners are five in number, including two
women and a boy of twelve years. Con-
siderable excitement has been aroused
over the case and sensational develop
ments are looked for by the friends of
Peterson.
]. N. Bedle has sold his meat market
to Leonard Green and will retire from
the business.
Very heavy rains have fallen here dur
ing the past week and threshing has had
a decided setback. Much flax and prob

The wind is blowing hard today, how,
ever, and unless more rain follows will
soon dry out the grain so threshing may
go on.

WISE MURDER CASE AGAIN
JAMES HARDY AND EDWARD MIL
LER VERB ARRESTED
YESTERDAY
LOOKS LIKE HORRIBLE PLOT
CorrobOrative Testimony From Four
Persons Indicate That Hardy and
Miller Did the Shooting
Taken to Minneapolis.

ANOKA, Sept. 14-Another chapter he's
been added to the horrible Wise murder,
near here James Hardy and Elmer Mil
Ter, the two boys at one time suspected
of being implicated, were today arrested
by Sheriff Merrill and Detective Brown,
and charged with the murder. The boys
were late in the afternoon removed to
the Hennepin county jail, where they will
receive their preliminary hearing.
Additional evidence has been secured
In the matter, and Sheriff Merrill stated
this evening that he had no longer any
doubts as to the guilt of Hardy and Mil
Ter. The arrest was made on the farms
of their parents near Bethel this morn
ing. They made no objections to accom-
panying the officers, but protested their
innocence. When the boys were arrested
the first time, it was for the murder Of
Mrs. William Wise.
The death of little Willie Wise is now
laid at their door. 1t is now believed
that little Joe Wise will live, but little
hope is entertained for the recovery of
the father, and his death is expected
at any time.
NEW EVIDENCE.
Inc most important evidence CndC mas
been secured since the last arraignment
Is that of Allie Preston, the son of a
farmer, living near Coon creek. He has
admitted to the sheriff that he was the
man who met Madison, who is still in
Jail at Anoka, and got him to go to
Round lake and meet the boys. His con-
fession is in part as follows:
The murder was planned about a
month before the murder. The Friday
before he made arrangements to meet the
boys at Round lake, but when the night
arrived he gave Mattison S. to go in his
place. One of the boys took Mattison in
a buggy and the other rode horseback
as they started for Round lake by the
Coon creek cutoff. The murder was
committed to get $780, which Mrs. Wise
would leave, as it was believed. After
the excitement, attending the murder,
had subsidized Hardy and Miller were to
marry the Wise girls, and remove to a
claim that one of them owned In the
northern part of the state.
The same story has been told by Mat
tison, and in addition the sheriff says he
has secured witnesses who will testify
that the boys were seen at their homes
| at an earlier hour than was testified to
I in the preliminary examination.
Sheriff Merrill further says that Martha
and Eliza Wise have prepared written
| statements, and, while the girls have been
/ kept apart since arrested, both corrobo-
rate that of Preston.
