SAME OLD STORY
FarIbauIt's Spook Did Not Appear When

FARIBAULT. M1NN.--It requires high
wages to secure a night watchman at a
cut on the Rock Island railway in the
south part of this city. 1t is asserted the

Three men have already given up the
job, and now no man will go out alone.
Last night a large crowd armed with guns
and revolvers, kept vigil at the cut. but
no ghost appeared. 1t is thought the spook
is the work Of some practical joker.

.C0UL D not ESCAPE E
Clarence Fine Must Answer to Sew
eral Charges Of Theft in
Wright County.
Makes a Desperate Effort to Escape
From Minneapolis Police, but
to No Avail.

In spite of several desperate efforts to
elude the officers from Wright county,
these efforts Including ap lea Of guilty to
the charge Of vagrancy, a tender Of a
fine. and a rough and tumble scuffle with
Sheriff Young and County Attorney Oak
ley OF Wright county, Clarence Fine was
to-day taken to Buffalo, Minn., to stand
tria! upon several charges, including
burglary robbery and larceny.
Fine was arrested late Saturday after
noon by Detective Morrisey and HELM in
front of 228 First street S. The Buffalo
officers were not due to arrive until late
this morning and the detectives were
forced to take Fine into municipal court
upon a charge of vagrancy. Upon advice
OF an attorney he pleaded guilty, but
Judge Holt postponed passing sentence.
Fine had the money ready to pay his
fine and rendered it to the court officers,
but as sentence had not yet been passed
they refused to accept 1T. In the mean
time the Wright county authorities ar
rived; City Attorney Finney moved to
dismiss the case against Fine and Judge
Holt ordered the prisoner turned over to
Sheriff Young. When Fine was taken
from the detention room he made des-
perate effort to get away but was quickly
overpowered and handcuffed.
Several counts are standing against
Fine in Wright county. It is claimed that
his depredations in that locality began
about week ago. According to the
story he and companion called at the
farmhouse of Mike Hutter, near Delano.
and asked for supper. Just as they were
leaving the house they turned and COW
cred the family with revolvers. While
one OF the men kept, the family covered
with the guns the other went thru the
pockets Of the male members and se-
cured sum. of money.
Their next raid was upon the residence
Of Nathan Warren, four miles east OF
Buffalo. where they entered the house
while the family were absent and secured
$3.50 The raid upon the residence of
William Smith in the same vicinity netted
$50. 0
John Klapprich, a farm hand employed
! by. Mike Hunter, one of the victims OF
the holdup, came to the city this morning
with the Wright county officers. He
walked into the detention-room at the
| municipal court and picked Fine out
from among twenty-five prisoners. The
officers are sure they have the right
man. 81. +... a.. - -.
