The above item appeared last week
insthei news columns of the UNION, and
was read last Saturday by Mrs. Eliza
Henry who lives out on the Green bush
road As a rather strange coincidence
she also found a jacket in her house
which. did not belong to her, and which
answered the description of the, cloak
advertised. The jacket was the one
thatEwas stolen from Fryhling's tailor
shop on the night of March: 18th. Mrs.
Henry took the jacket and broughtit
to:t town and delivered it to Miss Berg
at 8Berg's store and received the re-
ward. r., -..~s@ $50 -...#. ....
After the robbery suspicion rested
on Fred Bradshaw who had been seen
around the town at a late hour on the
night of the robbery, and after the
delivery Of the jacket the officers we're
more certain of their man and efforts
were. at once made to get him. Sheriff
Claggett armed with the necessary
papers and with quite a little informa-
ton wentto St. Paul and was not long
inlaying his hand on Bradshaw who
only afewd days before had got married.
He brought the prisoner back Monday
night and on Tuesday Bradshaw was
given q preliminary hearing before
Justice: Chadbourne who bound him
over to the grand jury which meets
nextweek. Bradshaw retained c.. A.
Dickey to- defend him. At the hearing
there were several witnesses examined.
Mrs. Berg and Miss Berg were in
court and related how.the jacket dis
appeared and how it was, returned.
Mrs. Henry stated that on the 18th of
March she went to St. Paul and did
nosreturn until the 28th., On theslsth
her. husband also went to St. Paul,
taking; down load of cattle for Mark.
The house during their absence was
closed, but it was learned that Fred
Bradshaw had been at the house for
two days after Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
had left. Mr.. and Mrs. Henry were at
St. Paul when Bradshaw was married.
John McMinn testified that he saw
Bradshaw on the night of March 18th
between 11:30 and midnight coming
from the rear of the UNION Office
toward the planning mill. McMinn was at
that time over by Solberg's blacksmith
shop, and as the night was bright
moonlight one he could easily distin-
guish Bradshaw. Marshal Newton also
testified to having seen Bradshaw on the
street near midnight. At the close of
the testimony Mr.. Dickey moved that
the plaintiff be discharged because of
the lack of sufficient testimony to hold
him, but the justice denied the motion
and Bradshaw's bond was fixed at $500
for his appearance before the grand
jury. Sheriff Claggett took Bradshaw
down to Minneapolis where he lodged
him in the Hennepin county Jail.
Bradshaw is a young man and was
brought up in this vicinity. Prior to
the robbery with which he is charged
he was about Princeton for several
weeks. It is said that he recently sold
sixty acres of land in Greenbush for
5000, and the party who bought the
land has since been offered twice that
money for it. After the date of the
robbery Bradshaw went to St. Paul
and was married.
Had it not been for the fact that the
jacket that belonged to Mrs. Berg was
advertised in the UNION the chances
are that Bradshaw might not have
been unprecedented. Another party who
was seen in company with Bradshaw
on the night of the robbery was suspic-
toned BUTT is not thought that he was
implicated in the affair. .''.A -.
If the grand jury should indict Brad
shaw the case when it comes to trial
will without doubt prove to be very
interesting one as it is said there are a
good many other chapters to the story
that have not appeared yet. .-4s .
Easter Services.
Easter Sunday services at the
Princeton churches were well at
tended, the special music as we'll as the
inspiration of the day causing a good
attendance. The service at the Catho-
lie church was made very impressive
with the music by the quartet and the
~e 81.
