FIND men WANTED
Officers Make Capture Here
After Long Chase.

After having been chased through IL
linois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
and having escaped from a Wisconsin
Jail just when they were about to be
taken back to Illinois, Ed and Posey
Williams, alias Smith, alias Simons,
two colored men, wanted in Westville,
Ill. on a charge of highway robbery,
were Yesterday arrested in a room at
59S Robert street by Detectives Frank
Fraser and Haggerty. They will be
taken to Danville, ILL.,, this morning by
Deputy Sheriff Charles f. Runyin, who
has been after them for the past two
months.
The negroes are wanted for robbing
a farmer of $50 during the street fair
at Westville. They were arrested short
ly after the robbery. Posey was placed
under $500 bail and jumped it. Ed was
released, as there was not sufficient
evidence to hold him at the time. He
left WestVille Immediately and soon
afterWard the officers secured evidence
duplicating him in the robbery. "A
search was Immediately instituted and
he was followed through several Hi
nois and Iowa cities. He was finally
located in company with Posey at Kill
placed in Jail. While Deputy Runyin
was arranging for their extradition
they escaped from the Jail and again
disappe9. "a. They were finally traced
to st. Pa. /! 81 day or two ago. They were
located within two hours after Detec-
tive Fraser was placed on the case,
and were Immediately arrested. They
protested their innocence, but the Illi-
nois officer positively Identifies them.

RELATIVES FOUND
Coroner Locates Three Cousins
of William Fenton.

Coroner Miller yesterday located
three cousins of the late William Fen
ton, the aged street evangelist who was
found dead in his home, "A South Rob-
ert street, Monday afternoon, and they
will take charge of his remains and ar
range for the funeral
William T. Horsnell, one of the cous-
ms applied to the probate court yes
terday for appointment as special ad-
ministrator of Fenton's estate. The es-
tate is valued at several thousand dol
lars and includes three lots on South
Robert street, a library of over 5000
volumes, and other property. 1t is be-
lieved by some that somewhere about
his lonely home the aged man left
large amount of cash buried, and al
though a search yesterday failed to re-
veal any wealth the police are still
guarding the premises in order to pre-
vent any depredations by treasure
hunters. aescsa
Mr.. Horsnel yesterday secuted the
idea that the aged man left any buried
money about his home. ut is alb
surd to think that he did, said Mr.
Horsnell. 'He has had a mortgage of
$1,000 on his three lots on South Rob-
made any move to pay it. He gave the
mortgage in order to pay back taxes
and paving assessments.
1.-THE only real estate he owned, so
far as 1 know, are the three lots on
Robert street. He also claimed all the
levee land from his lots to the river
including the site of the Watrous En-
CINE company, but as he had no money
he never pushed his claim. 1t is hard
to say just how much his property is
worth"
Besides William Horsnen, who is a
real estate man in the city, Fenton left
two other cousins in st. Paul and one
in the South. They are Edward C.
Horsnell, an elevator man at the feder-
al building, Samuel G. Horsnell, a
member of Engine company No. IL,
and Mrs. Charlotte Scott, of Louisiana.
Horsnell was born in London in 1888,
and came to, st. Paul with his mother
and uncle, the late William Horsnell,
In 1850. He educated himself as a
civil engineer and after working about
ST. Paul for twenty-five years, he went
to Troy, N. Y, where he was a student
and later an instructor for many
years.
On his return to st. Paul about
twenty years ago he again took up
civil engineering and was one of the
constructing architects of the Fort
Smelling bridge. While working on the
bridge he developed his dislike for Free
Masonry, against which he had been
preaching for many years. He ha-
rangued his men while they were at
work on the bridge, and finally became
so persistent in this course that he was
discharged. Soon afterwards he gave
up surveying and began the life of a
street evangelist
He lived the life of a recluse and had
very little to do with any of his rela-
tives. He called upon them now and
then, but seldom said anything to them
about his life or affairs.
Arrangements for the funeral of the
late William Fenton were completed last
night. The services will be held this
afternoon at Dampier's undertaking par
lors and interment will be at Oakland
cemetery.
