OPINION { DIVIDE
PERFECTLY ABLE TO TRAVEL TO
MINNEAPOLIS AND STAND
TRIAL.
SHERIFF DpfGfR IS SURPRISED.
DID NOT EXPECT THAT AMEs
WOULD FIGHT AGAINST Ex-
TRADITION.

Hancock, N. H., Feb. 18.-Dr. Albert
A. l.mes, the fugitive ex-mayor of
Minneapolis, is still at the house Of
his brother-in-law, Rev. c. H. Chaplin,
with his wife and little daughter.
Opinion is divided as to whether he
will return voluntarily to Minneapolis.
Some persons believe that the doctors
who are attending him may be able to
show to the governor that it would en-
danger the former mayors life or rea-
son to remove him. Others, on the
other hand, believe that; the doctor is
In a way shamming illness, and is per
fectly able to travel and stand his
trial. He does no show any marked
aging except that he has grown a
beard since coming to New Hamp-
shire. No one is allowed to see him,
and no one except the doctors, and
more recently the officers, have lad
direct communication with the prison
er. The deputy sheriffs take turns
staying at the house and going to the
hotel, half a mile distant.
Sheriff Dreger Of Hennepin county,
MIMI, arrived yesterday and was very
much surprised to find that his man
intended to resist requisition, for he
said that twice when he had
Almost Had Him Before,
once in Kentucky and once in Indiana,
he had slipped away. Doctors Prouty
and Cutler have ordered that DIR.
Ames be approached on no exciting
topic. When the officers anne to an
nounce his arrest he exhibited less
concern than any others in the house,
while Rev. Mr.. Chaplin turned as white
as a sheet.
Mrs. Ames arrived Dec. II and Ames
about q week later. Finally, when a
scathing article about the alleged cor
ruption appeared in q magazine the
visitor and his family became town
talk, and the authorities at Minneapo-
lis were notified by persons in this vii
lage. No move was made for his ar
rest until last Friday. The harboring
of DR.. Ames at the parsonage of the
only church in the village awakened
considerable gossip, and Rev. Mr..
Chaplin on Jan. 4 preached a sermon
in which he declared that he believed
DR.. Ames as innocent of the crimes
charged against him as any n in the.
congregation, and said if he had done
anything irregular it was i%nnocently
done.
DR.. Ames is practically penniIess, as
his bondsmen have his house and
farm, but he has friends whose money
he can use in his present straits. The
hearing before Gov. Batchelder has
been fixed for Wednesday at Concord.

Chicago, Feb. 18.-One of the cold
est waves of the year struck Chicago
Yesterday. The heavy snow storm Of
Friday and Saturday has been fol-
lowed by intense cold and six inches
of snow on the ground adds to the
rigors of the cold snap and impedes
traffic.
The entire country is swept by
wintry storms of unusual severity.
snow has fallen as far south as Louis
lana and Texas and the temperature
has tumbled to a peint that has
hrought on much suffering in the
usually mild climate: Along the At
lantic seaboard the fercest gale In
rome time is playing havoc with ship
ming interests from Key West to
Maine. In the West and Northwest
the n has drifted to such. q depth
and the cold is so intense that rail-
road trains are stalled and cattle and
sheep are
Dying in Large Numbers.
It was reported from Bucklin, Kan,
that the west-bound Golden State lin
tied on the Rock Island road and two
freight trains were in drifts between
there and Hutchinson, and the east
bound limited was also stalled near
there.
In Chicago the drop in the tempera-
ture to near the zero mark has caused
much suffering among the poor. LOSS
of life attending the storm, however,
was less than anticipated, but one per-
son SO far as known, having sue
cumbed. An unidentified man was
found frozen in q snow drift In the
down town district.
The heaviest snow storm of the
winter struck the Ohio valley yester-
day. Following the heavy rains Of
Saturday and Sunday and a sleet
storm Sunday night, snow began fall
ing early yesterday morning and from
five to- eight inches Of snow now COW
ers the ground. The heavy rains of
Sunday and the succeeding snow has
caused a rapid rise in the Ohio river at
cinnati. Forecaster Bassler
Issued a Flood Warming,
telling all river interests to prepare
against a stage of I've A feet at Gin
cinnati.
A serious flood is threatened in
Southern and Western Indiana. The
heavy rains of Saturday and Sunday
have started the Wabash river on q
rampage and there is fear that n of
the worst floods in years will occur in
the Vicinity of. vincennes. ,
I. Rain, snow and sleet, combined in
many places with high winds, pre-
vailed throughout the South last night.
As a result railroad traffic is delayed,
while in q number of cities the street

still.
