MEN TALLYING TO DESCRIPTION oF
MAYER's MURDERERs OPER-
ATED AT LIE SUEUR
METHODS ARE IDENTICAL
Three Men Robbed Saloon at Le
Sueur Center Under Circum-
stances Similar to ST. l.
Paul Tragedy.
THEY CAME TO TWIN CITIES

A robbery at lie sueur Center, Mimi,
on the morning of Jan. 10, may turn out
to have an important bearing on the
murder of Patrolman Henry Mayer in
this city on the morning of Feb l.
On the date mentioned a saloon IN
LIE Sueu~ Center was entered and robbed
Of $5S, presumably by three men. seen
both before and after the robbery. The
circumstances were almost parallel to
the st. Paul affair. The saloon was en-
tered through a rear door, an opening
having been made with some sharp In
strument almost Identical to the tampec-
ing with Jessrang's saloon door, as found
by the police. The safe was blown open
with nitro-glycerin, the bottle being
found on the premises.
The three men supposed to be the aus
thors Of that robbery arrived in LIE Sueur,
which is about fourteen miles from
LIE Sueur Center, some time before the
robbery, and were seen by many citizens
of the town.
On the morning Of JAN 10 the three
men appeared at the depot in lie Sueur.
just as the 5 o'clock passenger train
for st. Paul pulled in. They arrived in
hurry and didn't have time to purchase
tickets. They were seen by the tele-
graph operator who talked to them brief
ly. They were the same three men who
had appeared in the city shortly pre-
vious. At daybreak horse and buggy
was discovered, abandoned, above the
hill at LIE Sueur, Just out of sight OF
the town proper. The horse and buggy
had been stolen the night before from
a barn In LIE Sueur Center, and the
presumption is that the three men who
left on that morning train robbed the
saloon, and then stole the rig to make
their way to LIE Sueur in time to catch
the train. The horse when found was
completely exhausted as if hard driven
The three men were seen by August
Stingenig, telegraph operator, on the oc-
casion of their arrival and departure,
and by Esperson and Jones, who run
a restaurant at LIE Sueur where the three
men took dinner one day previous to the
robbery, and where they remained long
enough to be well sized up by William
r. Rothwell, druggist, John McKasy,
a merchant, and Thomas Chaster, the
city marshal.
Saul E. Block, brother of State Treas
urer j. HI. Block, says the description Oh
the three men as seen by the LIE Sueur
people, tallies very closly with the de-
scription contained in the circular sent
out by the st. Paul police department.
1t is believed at LIE Sueur that the three
men came to the Twin Cities and laid
low long enough to ascertain how much
of a row the robbery had created, and
then began their operations in st. Paul.

Hugos plurality over Henry Truelsen In

votes instead of 8. At the meeting of the
city council tonight the vote was Off
cially canvassed and in going over the
ballots one was discovered that should
have ben counted for Hugo. BY this
mistake it had been thrown out by the
judges.
Mr.. Truelsen intends to insist upon an
entire recount, however, and it is ex-
pected that a petition will be filed in the
district court tomorrow asking for the
appointment of three commissioners
to make the recount
President Of the Council Cromwell, who
was defeated by a Democrat last week,
threw bomb at saloons at tonights
council meeting by introducing an ordi-
nance to make it unlawful to have wine

The measure is a retaliatory one on
CromWell's part, as the saloon inter-
ests worked hard to defeat him for re-
election owing to to his opposition to
wide open policy. 1t is believed the ordi-
nance will pass, as many men will fear
the effect on their records If they op-
pose.

CAPE MAY, N. J., Feb. 1O-A three
masted schooner, the name Of which has

night. The fire was plainly visible from
here. 1t started about o'clock this
afternoon and burned until after 8
o'clock The schooner came to a point
about six fniles off shore during Satur-
day night and was caught in the ice
fields flowing out of Delaware bay. AS
soon as the crews Of the life saving sta
uons saw the fire they manned their
yawls and attempted to go to the rescue
of the sailors. Ice prevented the crews
from reaching the schooner, but 1t is be-
lieyed, from what can be seen through
glasses. that the men are in their small
boats floating around in the ice waiting
for assistance. The vessel seems to be
