SMALLPOX
Charles Stevens, Secretary of
the Minneapolis Anti Vac
cinatiOn League Dies After
Siege of the Disease In It's
Most Malignant Form.

Charles Stevens. secretary Of the
Minneapolis Anti Vaccination league,
died from smallpox Monday at his
home, 1914 Pillsbury avenue, in that
city.
Not since the dread malady became
epidemic in Minnesota two years ago
have the health authorities been forced
to fight so malignant a case. From the
start Mr.. Stevens sickness was con-
Sidered hopeless, and at no time did
the physicians in charge think recovery
possible.
For years Mr.. Stevens was a persist
emf advocate against the system of
compulsory vaccination, and was one
of the prominent leaders in the Min
neapOlis Vaccination society. He
even advocated the doctrine that small
pOX was not contagious.
Nine days ago he was stricken with
the malady. The physician who first
attended him turned the case over to
the health department. So malignant
was the disease that the authorities
thought it unadViSable to remove the
patient to the detention hospital, and
allowed him to remain at home.
Stevens had been i'll only a few days
when the doctors gave up all hopes
of saving his life. He suffered from
high fever, and during the latter
part of his illness was unconscious
most Of the time. His family was in
formed Sunday that death was inevi-
table, and early Monday morning Mr..
Stevens passed away

ADMITS THEY KILLED KRIER.
One of Trio Captured in Mill City Con-
fesses to Bloody Deed in Owatonna.

The supposed murderers of H. H.
kr1er, of OWatonna, whose -blooded
assassination was reported in T h e
q o e of Tuesday morning, We're cap
tured in Minneapolis yesterday by De-
tective Brown, of the city force.
The men are Charles Nelson, 21 years
old, who did the shooting; Harry Nell
son, 20 years old, who held Krier while
his brother deliberately shot him
through the head, and William Sutton.
II years old, who made a complete con-
fession at police headquarters yester-
day.
Sheriff Charles Misgen, of Owatonna.
VINO has been on the trail of the men.
arrived In Minneapolis at noon yester-
day and left last night with the pris-
oners. An immense crowd Of people
was attracted to the city hall by the
news of the capture and the two Nelson
boys, ironed together, furnished food
for the curiosity seekers during two or
three hours that the younger lad was
in the sweat box,
The arrest was made on Washington
avenue. Brown, the detective who
picked the men up, was accompanied
by citizen of Owatonna who knew
them, and they made no resistance to
the officers. Young as they are, the
Nelson youths are tough looking GUS
toners. They treated their arrest with
The utmost nonchalance, and stared at
the crowd that confronted them at the
city hall with apparent Indifference.
Two prominent men of OWatonna,
friends of the murdered man, were in
the company Of Sheriff Misgen. He
depuuzed them to assist him in getting
the trio Of prisoners safely to Jail.

MINNEAPOLIS

There was evident apprehension that a
lynching would be attempted, as the
sheriff was in telephone communica-
ton with OWatOnna several times dur
ing the day, and there was a lengthy
discussion as to the adViSability of taxi
ing the prisoners back last night
Young Sutton was subjected to so
severe an examination in the sweat
box that he soon declared himself
ready to confess everything. His state
ment is as follows:
I'VE We're working in the bowling
alley as pin boys, upstairs over Krier's
saloon. Our parents live at Owatonna.
We knew krier had plenty Of money,
and We had been talking for a long
time of getting some of 1t. Monday
afternoon we were In the saloon when
Krier said he guessed he would go out
TO Glaciers and pay his rent He got
$I5 out of the cash drawer and started
along the railway tracks. Jake GIazier
used to be a farmer He lives about
mile out on the edge of town. AS
soon as Krier left we ducked out and
started for Glaciers place by the road
which is shorter than the track We
got there before Krier did. Charlie
Nelson had the gun in his pocket We
went over to the tracks and soon saw
krier coming along. He was carrying
bundle under his arm. 1t was about
4 o'clock in the afternoon. AS he came
along Charlie Nelson told us to put our
handkerchiefs over our faces and we
did so. Then Charlie Nelson took out
the gun and stepped in front of Krier,
telling him to hold up his hands.
'Krier did not do as he was bid, but
ran toward fence. He reached the
fence and tried to climb over, when
Henry Nelson reached out and grabbed
him, pulling his collar off and pulling
him back. Krier tried again to climb
the fence, but Henry held on to his
neck. Then Krier fell down and
Charlie Nelson put the gun up to his
right temple and shot him twice in
the head. 1t was an awful sight. 1
wish l had not seen it. l hate to talk
about it. Then the other boys search
ed Krier's pockets and found $76. They
took $50 each and gave me SIC.
After that we took the bundle Krier
had been carrying and walked to town.
We threw the bundle into a gully a
quarter of a mile away. When we got
to OWatOnna we bought q bottle of
Whiskey and kept right on until we
reached Faribault. Then we got MIL
waukee freight and went to Mendoza.
We spent a lot of money at Faribault.
We reached Mendoza at midnight This
morning We walked to st. Paul and
then came over here. Soon after we
reached here the officer got u.s."
Despite the confession of Sutton the
two Nelson's deny the story absolutely.
They claim their ability to prove an
alibi, swearing that they were in the
company of some girls at the time SUIT
ton says they were committing a. muir

break them down, but they persisted In
