The police had no clue to work upon
until the next day when a card was re-
the robbery. The only evidence against
Estelle was the mutilated money in the
form of quarters, halves and dollars

would admit nothing. From his wife,
whom he married at lola on January
10. it was found that they arrived here
on January 20, and on the oath he left
her and returned on the 9th. POStOff1ce
Inspector Fulton was the first to aid
the officers. He identified EstelIe as
having served a sentence IN the federal
penitentiary and the prisoner admitted
it. Inspector Fulton and Chief Ramsey
made a trip to Irving and found that
the robbers had taken the horse and
buggy belonging to the city marshal.
The outfit was found the next morning
near Home, Kansas, eight miles from
irving. At Battey, a few miles from
Home, the trace of the robbers was
again found. The station men there had
seen three men, heavily armed, Sleep

working on another case, is credited
with tracing the criminals.

ESTELLE MUST ANSWER.
Taken to Marshall County on Charge
of Safe Blowing.

E. T. Estelle, who was arrested by
the police on January %, was taken to
Irving, Marshall county, at noon today
by Sheriff Guthrie to answer to the
charge of robbing the general store OF
E. M. Peterson on the night of jan
uary 25.
The capture of Estelle is one of the
best made by the police as he has been
identified as a notorious burglar who
was sentenced to a three year term in
the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth for robbing a store at Talmo in
1897. He and his pal, Frank Jordan,
were sent to the penitentiary at the
same time. Jordan escaped and is still
at large. Estelle got six months for
good behavior and was discharged last
October. On January % Officer Pavey
reported to Sergeant Donovan that sew
eral suspicious characters were passing
mutilated money. The two officers,
working on that clue, found four men,
who were passing the money, stopping
at the Pleasant Home hotel. Early in
the morning they were surprised by
a party of officers, under Chief Ramsey,

To Hold an Early National Con-
YentiOn
BEFORE POPULISTS
Fears Peoples Party Initiative
Might Hurt Him.
Desires to Get Ahead of the Re-
publicans Also.
Convention is Likely to Come to
Kansas City.

New York, Feb. 13.-A special to the
Herald from Washington, d. c.. says:
Before Mr.. Bryan left Washington
Saturday he held an important confer
ence with some OF the Democratic lead-
ers and it was decided that the Demo-
cratic national convention should be
held prior to the Republican and Popu-
list conventions.
1t is understood Mr.. Bryan is anxious
that his party shall take the field, an
nounce its platform and prepare for the
national conflict before his political
rivals formally declare their campaign
intentions He is particularly anxious
to anticipate the action Of the Populist
party, which he fears may be guilty of
political indiscretions which may injure
his cause.
Mr.. Bryan did not confne his con-
sultations while in Washington to the
free silver Democrats, but talked with
some of the shrewdest and most in
f1uential members of the gold standard
wing of the party. It is known that he
held a secret conference with former
Senator German and it was after con-
sultirg Mr.. German that Mr.. Bryan inn
pressed upon his friends the Importance
of holding their convention at a date
lican convention.
Notwithstanding the assertion by
members of the Democratic national
committee that at a recent conference
in Chicago it was decided to hold the
convention in Milwaukee. Wis, there
seems to be a disposition to rescind that
action. Missouri representatives de-
clare Kansas City will wrest the prize
from New York, Milwaukee, Chicago or
any other city.

MAY BE FAR-REACHING.
Mission Township Bond Decision
May Effect Other Bonds.

Judge Hooks action yesterday after
noon in declaring invalid the bonds
which were issued by Mission township
as a bonus for the sugar mill which was
erected west of the city several years
ago, usually known as the sugar mill
bonds, may be far-reaching in its effect
The bonds were knocked out on de-
murrer. The original issue was for
$15,000 and they are not yet due, but
the township defaulted the interest on
them. w. S. Dodge, of Cleveland, Ohio,
the present holder of the bonds, brought
suit in the federal court through keeler
q Hite, to collect the defaulted interest
That was before Attorney General
GODDARD was elected to his present office,
and he was employed by the township
to defend the suit. He filed a demurrer
to the. petition in the suit, claiming
that the sugar mill was not such a
public enterprise as could be aided by
voting bonds for it as the bonds had to
be paid with a tax levy
Judge Hook took this view of the
caes, stating that the law under which
the bonds were issued allowed the mill
owners to compel contracts for using
cane to be made before the cane was
planted, otherwise the mill was not
compelled to use it when offered. Judge
Hook held that to be public enter
prise the mill would have to grind all
the sugar cane brought to it for grind
ing. AS it was not compelled to do
this it was not public enterprise, and
therefore not entitled to public aid.
The attorneys for the plaintiff will
rest their case on the decision on the
demurrer and will take the case to the
United States court of appeals on that
decision.
This decision may affect many other
bonds now outstanding in the state
Cities and townships voted bonds to aid
all kinds of enterprises during the boom
times Many of these viii come under
the head of private enterprises and
probably can be declared invalid under
Judge Hooks decision, unless the fed
eral court of appeals reverSeS him.

that The case has been duly reported,
and according to the record, DR.. S. G..

itary Sergeant Pattison says that the
case was reported by Dr. J. P Lewis,
who stated at the time that DIR. Stew
art was the attending physician, and

a case of the kind at Judge Hazen's
residence. and that he has never re-
ported one.
Meanwhile the house has hcen labeled
