MONEY WAS NEVER FOUND.
More Than 5000 of Amherst Bank s
Cash Hid by Ratigan Before His
Capture-So They Say.

The escape of Edward Rattigan from
state prison last Thursday night has
brought up the whole Amherst bank
robbery again, and correspondents to
the daily papers are telling about the
immense amount of money not account
ed for, and try to make out that Wau-
sau parties have it slowed away in their
pockets. Each prisoner was searched
in the presence of large crowd of citi-
zens, and each article taken from them
was called out and the money counted,
the amount stated and placed in the
bank. A writer from Stevens Point in
the Sunday Sentinel states that Harri-
gan, the leader of the gang, called Dist
Atty Owen to Waupun and told him
that of the $4,000 missing, $500 should
have been found in Kelly's pocket when
searched by the Wausau authorities
81 900 were pushed under the snow by
Rattigan, and 81 400 was placed under
"a log by himself, and the cash and
bonds were in newspaper securely
wrapped up. subsequently the bonds
were found, but no trace of the money.
The article ends with the following par
agraph
This confession took place on July
8th, and on the following day Mr. Owen
went to Wausau and found the log.
He also found that some one else had
been there before him. The whole field
had been carefully searched by his pre-
decessors, and all he discovered were
some scraps of the newspaper which
had been wrapped around the money
and bonds. There are suspicious as to
who the parties are who got the 81, 400
hidden in that field, hut as yet the
officials have been unable to make out
a positive case, but are patiently wait
ing the time when murder will out
The PILOT believes that the So, 200
found its way into the hands of those
intended by the robbers. Their fake

C. B. BIRD.

Lawyer G. B. Bird of Wausau, son
of Col. Geo. w. Bird of Madison, who
is well known in La Crosse-the son is
ranked as one of the brightest and clev-
crest young attorneys in the state-ar-
rived in town Tuesday morning and
registered at the Law.
DR.. M. H. Cleary, of Gelena, H., ar
rived at about the same time. Former
Attorney General w H. Mylrea of w au-
sau, Mr.. Birds law partner, arrived in
town last evening. They are all here
for the McGowan-Independent Order
of Foresters trial, which follows the
malpractice case in the circuit court.
They appear for the defense. 1t was at
the former trial of the case, in Febru-
ary, 1899, that Mr.. Bird, on the spur of
the moment, did clever little turn that
will make him remembered by lawyers
and the newspaper men who do the
courts for some time to come. Mr.. Bird
was about to read deposition. There
was something about the proceeding
that the attorneys for plaintiff objected
to; they wanted the witness on the
stand, where the questions could be
asked and answered in regular form,
and, if need be, objected to- That didn't
puzzle young Mr.. Bird little bit. He
was sworn and took the stand He was
witness and also examining attorney
at the same time. He had the following
dialogue with himself, that greatly
amused everybody in the court room,
even the objecting attorneys for the
plaintiff. Here it is, as The Rounder
remembers it:
Mr.. Bird lthe attorney: 'Mr. Bird,
where do you resides"
Mr.. Bird (the witness); I'm Wausau,
Wisconsin,
The Attorney "Wnat is your bust

UNITING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Editor the Gazette: Much has
Eeen said in the papers about uniting
the Republican party.
The Republicans are unit. They
united in go and elected the honored
and lamented Lincoln. There are Lin
coin Republicans yet. In this State
there are men who recall to my mind
the days of my boyhood, when my
father would call to some one to bring
the COWS up. 1t mattered not who it
was-a oolcred man, a tramp-any one
would do. Father would say, "Take
the handle basket; go to the courthouse
and get some 'nubbins' (short corn)
give them one 'nubbin' each then start
home, and shake the basket; they will
follow " So he would shake the basket
and the COWS would start in trot and
keep their noses as near the basket as
they could. so that they might get
another ''nubbin.'
That, to my mind, is the situation
today. The Union Addicksites have
bad "nubbin' and are now in tIot
to keep as near the basket as possible,
SO that when the ''nubbins' are handed
out they will get another taste. The
basket must have many charms. 1t is
SC full that three little black bulls
jumped over from the other pasture to
see if there was anything for them. 1t
IS serious when we think this basket

how would their man compare with the

man they want would be disgrace to
the State, and would cause every man

NOW IN THE FEDERAL COURT.

Judge Bradford Restraints Thomas NJ.
Fowler From Prosecuting his Damage
Suit Against the Wilmington q Northern
Railroad co.
An ordor issued by Judge Bradford
unlimited States Court Saturday put
an end, for the present, to the suit re-
Gently Instituted in the Superior Court
by Thomas M. Fowler for $40, 600 dam
ages against the Wilmington Il North
ern Railroad Co., for injuries alleged
to have been received in an accident on
the tugboat Amanda Powell, at the
Wilmington & Northern railroad pier
On the Delaware River, on December
9th, 1898. At any rate, the matter is,
for the time being, transferred from
the Superior to the United States
Court and has assumed new phase.
After the suit had peen instituted in
the Superior Court Lewis O. Vande-
elift, COUNSEL for the Wilmington u
Northern Railroad Co., part owner of
the tugboat and a car feat, which it
had in tow, invoked the Federal law
allowing limitation of liability by in.
stitutine proceedings in the United
States Court compelling people inter-
ested in the tug to prove the amount
of their claims. As a. result OF this
action the tug and float were appraised
and it was found that the railroad
| comlany's interest in them amounted
to $1,000, which, under the Federal
| law, can be made the limit of the com.
pany's liability in the case of an award
| tor damages.
The order of the United States Court
| lust issued restraints Mr.. Fowler, OF
| his attorney, James W. Ponder, from
prosecuting any suit or suits for any
| loss, damage or INJURY by reason of 8
| certain accident to Fowler while or
the tugboat Amanda Powell, on the
| Delaware River, near the Wilmington
| a. Northern pier, on December 9th
| 1893, and requires everybody having
| claims, by reason of the accident, tt
| prove their claims in the United States
| Court on or before June 10th, 1900.
Mr.. Vandegrift asked the Superior
| Court today for permission to file al
amendment for the defence in the case
In his amendment he set forth that hi
had asked Judge Bradford that Com
missioner Smith fix the value of thu
oompany's property in the tug Amanda
Powell and car float, and that tn
commissioner had decided yesterda.
that the company had $1,000 in tn
vessels. He further set forth that tn
Federal Court had issued restraining
order against the trial of the cas-
brought by Fowler against the rail
road in Superior Court.
James W.. Ponder, for Fowler
opposed the filing Of tho amendment
The court granted a continuance unit

Chicago, ILL.,, March 6.-The storm
of snow, hail and sleet which swept
over Chicago yesterday paralyzed train
service on the three elevated roads,,
and all other means of transportation
suffered The elevated roads were
brought to standstill in the early
evening hours, and the electric lines
ran cars only at long intervals. Tele-
graph and telephone lines in and out Of
the city were broken by the heavy
coating of ice on them, and business
was handled with difficulty. All in
coming trains were late. One man was
killed, and many persons were injured
by falling on the icy sidewalks.
Navigation off the east shore of the
lake is suspended. The easterly winds
of the last As hours have driven the ice
field back to this side of the lake, and
today the field extends out into the lake
for oyerj1O miles. In places, the ice is
90 to 80 feet high, whers the Jams
have forced it out of the water. Con-
ditions have not been SO bad In the
harbor for years.
Dispatches received in this city show
that the storm extended over Michigan,

Washington, March 8. This state
ment was posted at the Navy Depart-
ment today:
1.-THE Detroit and the Malblehead
have been sent to Central America,
on account of dispatches received from
our representatives there, which indi-
cate some recurrence of the disturbed
state Of affairs, and for the purpose of
protecting American interests there.
The officials of both the State and
Navy Departments do not indicate what
representatives are meant. 1t was
stated in answer to inquiry that the
action of the Navy Department was
taken at the instance of the State De-
partment, which, in turn, was moved
to make a recommendation that ships
be sent rather from general report of
threatening conditions in Genital
America than from any specific official
advices. The trouble in the present
instance is supposed to grow out Of the
organization in Nioaraguan territory of
revolutionary expedition under the
leadership of Mora, the purpose of
which is to overthrow President
