who is here, says he is willing that the
outlaw should be tried by the Prowers
county authorities, so it is thought he
will be held here. He has no friends
here and there is little fear that he can
be rescued or will escape.
In his story to the officers the bandit
gives an interesting account of the ex-
periences of the few days when he and
the Stanley brothers were so closely
pursued by the various posses. He says
that he and the Stanley boys quarreled
the first night and that he repeatedly
tried to leave them and continue his
flight alone. Each time, he says, they
threatened t. shoot him If he did, and
it was only when they thought they
could better their own chances of es-
cape that they consented to his setting
out for Coolidge. -
He told the officers that it was to his
constant craving for morphine and
whisky, for which narcotics he has a
hopeless mania, that was due his cap
ture. When the Bailey brothers and
McAfee approached him he said he was
unable to show fight, although he was
armed and stood a good chance of
making his escape. He is broken in
health and very weak.
To-day he escorted the officefh to
the cedars, where a great deal of plum
der secured by his gang was hidden.
Here many firearms taken from the
store in Carlton and supposed to have
been laid aside to arm the gang when
its numbers increased, were buried, and
the officers recovered almost all of the
bandits plundery

That Definite UNDERSTANDINGS

General Thomas A. Anderson, who
commanded the American troops at
Manila prior to the arrival of General
Merritt, submitted in relation to Adj
miral Dewey's testimony before the
congressional committee an interest
ing question. General Anderson
asked: elf the city was surrendered as
the result Of a definite understanding,
how definite was it? Was it that
American soldiers were to be sacri-
feed for the honor of SPAIN"
1t is unnecessary to wait for for
NAL answer to the question.
1t will not be formally answered. The
answer was, however, provided in Ad-
miral DewsY's testimony before the
congressional committee. That testi-
mony was to the effect that there was
a definite understanding between Adj
miral Dewey and the Spanish COVER
nor. General Anderson and the
American troops under his command
were not infsrmed as to this definite
understanding. 1t was a definite I'M
standing reached for the purpose of
saving the honor OF this Spanish gov
ernor, who did not desire tosurrender
without a fight, and as resultof this
definite understanding 122 American
soldiers were killed-l22 American
soldiers were offered as sacrifice for
the "honor" of this Spanish governor.
Itwould have been better for the
fame of Admiral Dewey and better
for the peace of the American people
that Admiral Dewey bod never been
called before the congressional COM
mite, had never been given an oppor-
tunity to make this humiliating con-
fesSion. Omaha World-Herald.
