JOHN is IN LIMBO
LoeffeImacher Captured in St.
Paul Few Days Ago.
Under a Fictitious Name He Was
Sent to the Work House For Be-
Petty Thief.

Hiding under the cover of ficti-
tious name John Loeffelmacher. who
escaped from Sheriff Mcmillan of
NicolleT county several days ago, was
arrested in st. Paul on charge Of
petit larceny and sent to the work
house for short term. Cards bearing
a description of the fugitive were
sent out to police officials and one of
these fell into the hands of Chief
OConnor Of st. Paul. He exhibited it
to his patrolmen and one of the latter
recognized in the petty thief whom he
had arrested none other than John
Loeffelmacher Sheriff Mcmillan was
notified of this and yesterday he went
to st. Paul and took charge of his
man, bringing him back to st. Peter
last night.
1t is understood that Loetfelmacher
went under the name of Harry
Williams in st. Paul.
Deputy Marshal @. A. Nimocks,
who was in Mankato today, stated
that Loeffelmacher will be brought
before the United States court which
will convene mere on Nov. II. 1t is
likely the young man will plead guilty
to the charge of sending obscene let
tiers through the mails and will be
given penitentiary sentence. The
government will deal first with this
young fiend.
The st. Paul policeman will receive
the 500 reward offered for Loeff-
elmacher's capture.
Loeffelmacher will be brought be-
fore Justice at st. Peter tomrrow for
arraignment on the charge of placing
dynamite in the threshing machine
engine of Mans and Vinegar.
Sheriff Mcmillan will not object to
the government dealing with the pris.
oner first.
Sheriff Mcmillan of st. Peter yester.
day awarded Patrolmsn Mathesor
500 for the capture of J. A. Loeffel.
mscher, the young man said to be
wanted at ST. Peter on a charge Of
arson. The award is likely to produce
trouble as three st. Paul men claim
to be entitled to the money.
John Sheldrick, Waterman al
Seventh and st. Peter streets, claim.
that he saw Loeffelmacher first and
turned him over to Patrolman Mathe
son.
Fred Sheik, cook in the saloon a
Seventh and Chestnut streets, claims
that he is entitled to the reward be
cause he discovered and identified
Loeffelmacher. Sheik says that h
worked in the harvest fields Will
Loeffelmacher and that when he heart
that there was reward offered for hi
arrest went out to the workhouse witt
Matheson and identified the accused

THE GULF SITUATION.
Retaliation Against Mallory Line Affects

Retaliation Against Mallory Line Affects

st, Louis Globe Democrat.
The Southwestern or gulf situation is
aggravated by the announcement by the
Atlantic port lines OF new tariff which
Is TO go into effect on legal notice, TO Tex
arkana, and, consequently, Texas common
points, as another act OF retaliation against
the practices of tho Mallory line. The low
Shreveport tariff put In by the Atlantic port
lines has apparently not disturbed tue NAL
Tory interests, but the latest cut to Tex
arkana Is TO be construed as q body blow
which strikes tho soft spot Of the Mallory
composition. Tho TeNarkana tarin is also
on the basis OF a S2-ccut cut in regular

Galveston press comment on the matter
Of cotton inspection and the absorption Of
the cost OF drayage by the railroads has
been closely pursued by officials of the
Southern Pacific and other lines during she
past fortnight prominent official re-
marked yesterday that the San Antonio
conference between representatives Of the
roads and the compress men would very
likely clear up the sltuation so far as the
matter Of inspection is concerned. lnspec
ton is matter, ne said. which must be
settled by the railroads and the Interior
cJilpFessss for tIIey alone are con- eli ned
mated aud assurance was given that, in
any event, inspection and repairing would
continue at Houston and The public would
not suffer.
The problem OF adjusting rates to Hous-
ton and Galveston, leading officials be
lieye. must he nnaiiy udluuicated by the
railroad commissioners. While 1t IL not a
matter Of sufficient tmpo,ta.. .S .IiNOiNe

necessary IN order to settle the controversy.

hcals Of the railroads tue demands or
the Galveston factors appear ridiculous
They say II is merely the entering wedge
fin aB effort to lower the dffereutinl 3 cents
per 100. Should the initial effort be sue
CcsSful, II Is believed that a campaign
will ensue for the removal of the remaining
difference between Galveston and Houston
rates.
AS is well known, the railroads do not
pay any drayage In Houston. IL the cotton
goes out by rail. the roads, Of course, are
interested In transferring II. II factors
desire their cotton delivered 20 private
warehouses, however, That is regarded as a
different matter, in which the roads are
not concerned AS one official remarked:
