DR.. AT. CONROY DIES
At CITY HOSPITAL
He Contracted tuberculosis
While a Captive of British
During Boer War.

tuberculosis, brought on by expo
sure suffered while a prisoner of the
British at Pretoria during the Boer
war, caused the death yesterday
morning at the city hospital of DR..
Anthony F. Conroy, chief surgeon of
the Red Cross corps which went from
Chicago in 1899 to care for the Boer
wounded.
Until recently Dr. Conroy was a
resident of Chicago, but he came to
st. Paul early in September He was
taken i'll Sept. 5 and rapidly grew
worse, it becoming necessary to re-
move him to the hospital a few DAYS
ago.
DR.. Conroy was brother of Thomas
F. Conroy, former clerk of the mu-
nfcipal court, and Michael Conroy, of
Butte Mont He was thirty-ei years
of age and unmarried.
When Miss Clara Barton and other
prominent Red Cross people proposed
organizing hospital corps to send to
the aid of the Beers, shortly after the
declaration of war, DR.. Conroy was one
of the first to offer his services. They
We're accepted, and he immediately be-
gan organizing the corps. He was
chosenras. chief of the $50 surgeons and
hospital attendants who left the
United States for the African battle
fields.
Taken for Traitor.
While caring for a wounded Boer,
during the battle of Spien Kopp, DR..
Conroy was taken captive by the
Britishers and was suspected Of being
member of the Irish regiment which
went from the United States to help
the Beers in their fight for liberty He
was taken to Pretoria. where it was
arranged to court-martiaI him.
For weeks ne was forced to lay in a
Stockade with hundreds of other pris-
oners, and endured innumerabIe trials
and constant exposure to the elements
The exposure injured his health and
brought on lung trouble, from which
the fatal tuberculosis developed.
During the heat of the battle at
Spien, while DR.. Conroy was hurrying
about aiding both Boer and Britisher
he came upon Gen. Ian Hamilton, one
of the famous British generals, who
lay on the ground with one of his
arms shattered by cannon ball. The
physician quickly amputated the gen.
erals arm and made him as comfort
able as possible, after which he hur-
ried to the side of a wounded Boer,
whose injuries he was dressing Wien
taken captive.
About to Court Martial Dr.. conroy.
After being made prisoner OF war,

more than to accommodate the big
cars that the street car company in-
tends to put in commission on that
line. The old bridge, am told, was in
good condition and would have served
the present traffic for years. I do not
believe in building costly bridges for
the street car company. st. Paul owes
the company nothing. 1t derives a
handsome revenue from this city,"
DR.. Schiffmann is inclined to. doubt
the big building promises of the COM
pany for st. Paul next year. 1t is
noticeable fact, he says, that nearly
every alderman has been promised
some particular thing for his particular
ward and, in his opinion, it is simply
a scheme to draw attention from the
cross-town line and secure sympa-
thetic Endorsement for a location that
the council does not want, but yet. in
gratitude for things promised, is willing
to give.

Seems to be No Doubt That Men
Caught in Augusta Are Safe
Blowers.

Augusta, Ga, Dec. 15.-
Frank w. Kline, supposed to be
the second man In the Guyton,
Ga., safe cracking was arrested
by locel detectives here tonight.
1t seems that Miller, the man ar
rested yesterday, and Kline have
been going together for several
ueeks in Augusta. Evidence was
plain at Guyton that two men did
the job. Kline denies all con-
nection with the case. A rebate
check for cash fare on Central
railway from point five miles
above Guyton to Augusta was
found on his person. A similar
check was found on Miller. Both
checks were dated Saturday, Nov.
70, the day after the robbery. A
half dozen people have identified
K!ine as the constant companion
of Miller for several weeks in
Augusta. One citizen said they
had tools with them and told him
that they were on government
business as mechanics. 1t is be-
lieved now that Augusta has been
headquarters for Miller and Kline
and that they went from hore to
do their work. 1t is said that
they both disappeared for several
days now aud then. Miller and
Kline have both been identified as
two strangers who loafed about
Guyton for two days previous to
the robbery.

Williamson is q white man and
Snow negro. In the early part
of 1902 Williamson with horse
whip whipped Wertz, the latter
being held by the negro Snow, at
the solicitation and threats of
Williamson. The case created a
great deal of excitement in the
community and in the state and
notwithstanding strenuous legal
efforts made In behalf of Will
hanson he and his negro compsn.
ion was convicted and sentenced
to five years in the penitentlary.
ALL of the jury recommended the
pardons as did Solicitor Sease,
who said in his recommendation;
"While the whipping administer
ed to the prosecutor was severer.
Mr.. Williamson acted on strong
provocation and we think that he
has Geen sufficiently punished
1t was asked that the pardon be
granted to take place on Decem-
Der 90.
Governor Hayward has not act ed
on the case, but has referred it to
Judge Gary who tried it. The
whipping occurred because of
alleged remaks or actions of Wertz
to defendants family, but the
chief point against the accused
was that he used q negro in whip
ping a white man.

Some of the bull spectators
are talking 25 cents cotton and
some of the mill men claim that
the price will touch 10 cents before
1t ever goes to Is. We do not
think there is much doubt of the
fact that the crep is short, and
this is seemingly an unanswerable
bull argument; but on the other
hand because the price of man-
ufactured products does not ad-
vance, there Is great danger of q
curtailment of production, and
this may operate to decrease the
demand for the raw cotton. The
situation is decidedly interesting
