jected. Instead OF rushing off In
frantic haste to shoot himself, he
wisely decided that if he couldn' t
have all he wanted, he would take
what he could get. So he accepted her
gracious offer of friendship. They got
along admirably. The old passion
had cooled to a pleasant friendly
esteem. At Christmas he sent her a
ring set with ruby, an emerald, a
garnet, an amethyst, another ruby
and a diamond, which, being inter

of each jewel forming that word. It

It pleased her nightly. And who can

PRICE KNOWN TO SLEUTH.
One of Waseca's Bandits Appears to
Have a Record Among Police.

B. Buckley of Galesburg, ILL.,, a
secret service man, arrived at Waseca
to examine the three alleged desper-
ADDE'S who are in Jail there, and to
assist in following up clues. The Bur
lington road has two detectives there
also. 1t was expected to have the men
arragined yesterday on charge of
carrying concealed weapons, but in
view of the arrival of Buckley the
proceeding was continued until today.
Buckley seems to know John Price,
the man who shot at Sheriff Collins,
but is reticent and has not said
whether or not he believes him con-
nected with the Burlington hold-up.
The other men give the names of
Michael Tobin and John Mcdonald.
Tobin says his father lives in Mime
apolis. This is disputed by the Min
nespolis Tobins, but-in any event be
seems to know.a good deal about the
city and it's environs.
J. Garrow, fisherman of Savanna,
Ill, who asserts that he saw the train
robbers before the hold-up, says the
men in custody are not the ones want
ed. Buckley, the secret srevice agent,
contends that Garrow did not see the
men plainly enough to identify and is
awaiting the arrival of others VINO,
he says can give more light than
Garrow. All the clues will be follow
ed up and something may develop in
day or 80.
The jewels and other property taken
from the prisoners bear no marks, and
no one knows where they came from.
This phase of the case initiates
against the theory that the men had
anything to do with the Burlington
robbery.
