When Sutton retracted his first statement
last evening, the Owatonna authorities,
who are here, suspected that the prisoner
had been tampered with and this morning
it was learned from acknowledgements
made by Sutton and Henry Nelson that a
certain Minneapolis detective came TO
them and, while they were in their cells
at the central police station last night,
told them to "stand pat" Sutton was
also advisedf so he claims to deny his
confession, made yesterday, and to say
that he knew nothing of the crime.
Highly incensed by this interference,
the Owatonna officers reported the affair
to Superintendent of Police Conroy. He
promised to investigate the matter and,
if necessary, to discipline the offending
officer.
"knocking" Must Stop.
When seen by The Journa to-day,
Chief Conroy said:
Il have learned that this custom Of
knocking the new men on the force has
been practiced by the older officers in this
city for many years, but it" is a. thing
which I will not tolerate under any circum-
stances. I will .call a meeting of the de-
tectives tonight and tell them if 1 hear of
another attempt upon the part of any
member of, the department to dlscredlt
the work done by another officer. will
ask for the resignation of the offender,
no matter whether he is the best or the
poorest man on the force. "
II know there is a great deal of jeal-
ousy Of the newer members of the force.
entertained by some of those who have
served several years. and that this Is
cropping out every day. Since Brown
came OH the force last fall lie has done
some excellent work and it hurts some
of the other men. They. have tried &c
E'knock. him upon other occasions, as they

could be mentioned. I have no doubt but
that this tamperjng with the Owatonna
prisoners was done to hurt Brown, who
made the arrest. -: ~: .a-. ..

SEPTEMBER 18th 1903.
 Yesterday MT. Wood, who is engaged in the secondhand business at No. 242 West Washington street, happened in our store to make some pur- chases. When he looked over our large line of Moore's Steel Ranges he remarked: "There is the best Range I ever saw. I have bought and sold a great many different secondhand Ranges and last spring l bought one of these Moore's Ranges of a man who said he bought it at Davidson's Cash Store for s25.OO. He praised the Stove so highly that I de- cided to take it home for my own use. It undoubtedly will bake quicker ard more evenly with the least fuel of any Stove I ever saw"
 Now we have been advertis- ing these Steel Ranges in Phoe- nix papers always as quick bakers, fu3l-savers, durable and at prices from 5000 to s65.O0, and we thought this voluntary testimonial of MT. Wood, with his experience with so many different Ranges would be a good thing to print, all though every Moore's Steel Range customer can testify as MT. Wood does.
