ARE THESE MEN THE

Prisoners.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
WASECA, Mimi, Aug 1O-Much ex-
citement still prevails as a result of
the duel between Sheriff Frank Col
Inns and the desperate yesterday and
the subsequent man hunt conducted by
the sheriff's posse, which resulted in
the fellows capture in a swamp,
together with his two pals, who were
captured by another posse. headed by
Chief of Police McGonough. He is
lying in the county Jail suffering from
his wounds and awaiting information.
1t was at first thought that perhaps
the men were implicated in the bur-
glary committed at Hanska, Mimi,
Aug. 5, and accordingly Sheriff Matter,
of Brown county, was notified. He ar
rived here tonight, in company with
the Carlson Bros, of that place, whose
store was burglarized, and on seeing
the men they state that the criminals
are not wanted at that place, and as a
result the conviction is growing that
they were implicated in the Burlington
train robbery in Illinois.
Under the supervision of County At
torney Moonan pictures of two of the
men have been taken to aid the estab-
lishment of their identity. The injuries
of the third man prevented his removal
for the purpose of being photographed.
DR.. Lynn, who is attending him, an
nounces that the wounds will not be
fatal. The wound in the hip is healthy
and the one in the calf of the leg is
causing the more trouble. Sheriff Col
Inns is receiving many congratulations
on his lucky escape and his success in
the capture.
A telegram from Sioux City, Iowa,
develops that three men are wanted
there for recent Jail breaking and Of
ficers from that place will arrive here
tomorrow to view the prisoners. 1t is
not thought that they are the parties
wanted there, inasmuch as they bear
no marks of recent incarceration. 1t
is plainly evident that the men are
much more desperate than the ordinary
criminals and the fact that they ar
rived in this city from the east lends
strength to the train-robbery theory.

CHICAGVS MURDER
MYSTERY sDEEPENS
Other Missing Men Besides Barthoin
Are Being Sought by the
Police.

CHICAGO, Aug. 310.-The search for
William Bartholin, who is suspected
OF having murdered his mother and
Miss Minnie Mitchell, his sweetheart.
was continued today, but no trace of
the missing man was found.
Oscar Thompson, for eighteen years
the constant friend of the fugitive's
mother, who was arrested yesterday,
stoutly maintained his innocence of
any knowledge of the murders, and
pleaded with the authorities to be re-
leased. After a long examination,
however, Thompson was sent back to
his cell, as the police feel confident
that he has not told all he knows. E.
y. Hunter and Milton E. r. Edwards,
former roomers at the Bartholin
house, are being sought by the police.
Late today a special delivery letter
arrived from Omaha. for r. HI. Mitch,
ell, brother of the murdered girl, Min
ME Mitchell, from Edwards, who wrote
the day after Miss Mitchell's body was
identified, stating that he was morally
certain that Bartholin had murdered
his mother. Edwards in the letter
declared that he had fed frem Chi
cago because he feared that he, TOO,
would fall victim to BarthoIin's
thirst for blood
1t was learned today that Thompson
was in the house the night that Mrs.
Bartholin was killed. Thompson has
admitted that he was in room direct
ly across the hall from Mrs. Bar
tholin's. The police have discovered,
they say, that the aged woman was
strangled on couch in her own room
the night of July and her body
thrown into closet, where it remain
ed undoubtedly for several days be-
fore burial in the basement.
Another suspicious circumstance de-
veloped tonight when it was discov-
cred that Horace Clark, a companion
or young Bartholin, has been missing
since the murder of Mrs Bartholin. 1t
IS now stated that it was absolutely
impossible for Bartholin to have bur-
led his mother in the basement during
the day time, because there is no en-
trance to the cellar except by way of
an outside door. To get the corpse
into the basement he would have had

thompson, having admitted to the
ponce that he was in the house every
night for two weeks after Mrs. Bar
tnolln's disappearance, finally denied
that he saw Bartholin from Tuesday
morning, the day after the murder,
until Friday evening, and he also de-
clares that he never heard a suspicious
SOUND or saw a suspicious sign during
the day in which the awful tragedy
was committed within his very reach.

OF Bartholin who saw him last Tues

TO prevent parents making their children

ONE CAR BUMPED
COLORED % HURT IN COLLISION
NEAR BASEBALL PARK.
Advised &c "sign No Papers" Present.
ed by COmpeny's Claim Agent
Called the Doctor Names.

As the street cars were returning from
the ball park last evening at 6 o'clock.
two cars collided at Washington and Ar
senal avenue. A hundred or more passen-
gers received a severe shaking up. and a
colored boy. who was stealing a ride, was
cut on the leg.
The cars were specials sent out to handle
the big crowd at the game. The first car
slowed down at Arsenal avenue and the
car Immediately in the rear began to stop.
but the brakes could not be adjusted. and
the cars momentum carried it up to the
other car. causing a jar that raised some
of the passengers from their seats. Boly
Johnson. a fourteen-year-old colored boy,
Mvirg al s23 Massachusetts, avenue. was
riding on the rear bumpers Of the first car
and received a slight cut on the leg. With
him were several other boys. 1t was said
a white boy received slight bruises.
The Johnson boy was taken TO the City
Dispensary In the ambulance. Before the
arrival of the ambulance he was placed on
the inside OF the car. Claim Agent Bruce,
of the street-car company, who was in a
car about a block away. hurried to the
front when he heard OF the accident. He
tried TO get through the crowd and learn
the boys name and the extent Of his in
turies. Several men who seemed interested
in the colOred boy would not permit Mr..
Bruce to get near the car. The same men
began talking to the boy and telling him
not TO talk TO the man with the whiskers.
as the latter wanted the boy 10 sign some
kind OF papers. Mr.. Bruce, with several
others. went TO the Dispensary. DR.. Frank
Kennedy undertook to take a stitch in the
wound and the negro yelled and called the
doctor names. The latter, becoming in
censed. ordered the boy from the Office. The
boy declared he did not intend signing any
papers. His mind seemed set on that one
point.
Neither car in the collision was damaged.
There were about twenty-five other cars
heavily loaded that had to remain sta
tionary while the injured boy was being
taken away. The greatest inconvenience
were late for supper.
