SHERIFF CAN ACT
Hasn't Authority to Offer Reward
for Fred Ames' Arrest.
IT'S UP TO co. COMMISSIONERS
The Sheriff Feels He Could Catch
= Nj All the Refugees Had
sNf .- He Funds.

Sheriff Dreger would like to offer re-
wards for the arrest Of Colonel Fred W..
Ames, RED" Cohen and Inspector Charles
Bracket, who are "out of town. y He
would also like to get hold Of young
Brauen and his alleged accomplice IN the
safe cracking Job at the Pabst beer depot.
He has no authority to offer any reward
himself nor to entail any expense In ef-
fecting, the capture of any of the prom
inent citizens who have left the city and
have forgotten to leave their addresses.
The county commissioners can make II
worth the while for detectives and police
officials to search for any OF the men
who are wanted here, but this body will
not meet until next Monday. ~. r..
Sheriff Dreger realizes that he is. 'ex-
pected to prosecute the hunt vigorously
and this he will do as soon as he has the
authority from the district court to spend
some money. In the meantime q closer
lookout Is being kept by the sheriff and
his assistants. The relatives OF Ames
Cohen and Bracket are constantly being
communicated with and every clue 10 fol
lowed up. --A
The sheriff said this afternoon that he
had no idea that Inspector Charles
Bracket was in Everett, Wash. nor any
other one Of the missing members of the
Ames gang. He says that for the pres
ent he cannot lay his hands on any one
Of them, but feels confident of landing
them all eventually, despite the sheriff''
assumption of ignorance as to the pres
ent location of the emigres. a..
However, it Is believed that he ha:
a very good idea as to where at leas
two Of them are. 1t is also believed tha
one OF them will be brought In withi1
twenty four hours. -.

Mr.. Harper, senior, first saw the light

the home Of his son. 49, -. : r

his friends by starting out for stroll,
which took him through Minnehaha park,
the soldiers home and ended at@the Ryan
hotel. He had walked the entire dis
tance to St.. Paul. d r. y. y -.
For a man 102 years old this was quite
jog, but Mr.. Harper was none the worse
for it. Mr.. Harper has retained his sight,
hearing and all his faculties to this day,
and having lived through an entire. cen-
tury and on the edge Of two other cen
turtles, he is familiar by personal recol-
lection with many national events now
on record only in the musty historical

MAL0NE'SPLEAM MADE
The Detectives Attorney Fails to
Knock Out Indictment.
MOTION AFTER MOTION DENIED
49,: Being Accessory to Safe:
: -. ~ Robbery.

Inspector Fred Malone was forced to
plead this morning to the Indictment ac-
cusing him of being accessory to felony.
His attorneys attacks on the indictment,
and on. the grand jury which returned IT,
were Of no avail. So he pleaded not
guilty and the trial was set for next Mon
day. 4,.-..- -t- :-. ~+s.- -
Z The first motion on the part OF the de-
fendant this morning was for permission
to challenge the grand jury and the mem
bers individually. In support OF the mo-
tion were read the aft1davits Of Lester B.
Elwood. a member of the grand jury;
Fred H. Ayres, the prisoners attorney,
and Lillian B. Anderson.
Mr.. Elwood, in his aff1davit, stated that
he did not vote on the Indictment and was
not present when 1t was reported Mr
Ayers stated that Isaac McMichael was
not present when the indictment was
voted, but had refused to- make an att1-
davit to that effect. Mr.. Ayers asked that
Mr. McMichael be summoned In court so
that his evidence could be secured. .
The afidavit Of Mrs. Anderson was to
the effect that Jacob Schneider, a member
of the grand jury, had called at.her home
and asked for Mrs. Wells. The latter was
not at home and he told Mrs. Anderson
that he was looking for evidence against
Fred Malone for highway robbery at 10s
First avenue N. This affldavit was in
tended to support the contention that the
grand Jurors were prejudtced. :
Motions All Denied.
Judge Simpson denied the prisoner S
right to challenge the jury, holding that
his right did not now exist. ~
A motion was then made for permission
! to examine each juror individually, the
object being doubtless . to determine
whether any prejudice existed in their
minds against the police department
This motion was denied. .s -',-. -.
b The next motion was to have Jurors
Lester B. Elwood and Isaac McMichael
examined with particular reference te
what part, If any, they took in finding and
| reporting the indictment against Malone
| This motion was denied likewise. s..s.z
! Then came the final motion to quasi
the indictment, which like all the Other
requests, was turned down. Z IL 80 ~
ii: Motions Exhausted.
Having run out of motions Inspecto,
Malone was compelled to enter a plea tt
the Indictment. E
