ROBBERS ESCAPE.
No Further Trace Found of the Men
Who Robbed Mrs. Stratum.
FrOm Tuesday's DaiIV.


Ole S. Olson of Lincoln township
came to the city last evening and pro-
cured a warrant for the arrest of the
two unknown men who robbed Mrs. Fan
ME p. Stratum of large sum of money
Sunday evening. The warrant charges
that $500 was stolen, and places the
charge at grand larceny in the second de-
gree.
Two men were seen at the depot at
Lake Crystal Sunday evening shortly
before ten o'clock, by the train crew of
special freight engine and caboose that
pulled out of the station there few mo-
ments later and reached Mankato at
1880 D. IN. When the engine and caboose
reached this city the crew was surpris-
ed to see the men get off and walk north
along the tracks. The crew had no idea
that the men had come with them and
did not understand where they could
have ridden so as to escape detection.
1t is likely that these two were the
robbers, as the latter were traced to
Lake Crystal. Sheriff Forsyth went to
Lake Crystal, but got there little too
late He telephoned from there at ii
p. m, to the police station in this city,
but the men could not be found.
Mrs. Stratum was not at home at the
time of the robbery. She had been
away for several days, and did not get
home until one o'clock Sunday afternoon.
She then discovered that the house had
been ransacked sometime during her abb
sence There is no way to tell when
the robbery was committed, except that
the clock, which had been disarranged, |
mad stopped at ll:30 o'clock. This might |
nave been Sunday forenoon, or the night |
before, or even earlier. If it was in the
forenoon, the robbers might have remain
ID in the corntield all day and emerged
n the evening, which would support the
theory that it was they whom the boy
saw coming out of the corn and going in
he direction of Lake Crystal.
Sheriff Williams went to Lincoln to-
lay to investigate the case.

Buchanan and Parks Fight Will
Close Tomorrow.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. FRANK Bu-
chanan of Chicago today formally an
nounced his candidacy for reelection
as president of the International AS
sociation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers He had withheld this an
nouncement until the convention should
act upon his annual report. He cen
siders that he was emphatically en-
dorsed by the convention yesterday and
processes to believe that he will be re-
elected. a Buchanan partisan said to-
day:
MIR. Buchanan would not have an
nounced his candidacy unless he had
strong belief that he would win"
President Buchanan said:
Tihe statements that Sam Parks has
dominated this convention are ridicu-
lous. The convention has emphatically
endorsed me by adopting the maioritv
including affiliation with the American
Federation of Labor. The public may
distort such action as being favorabl
to Parks if they want to. but the fact
IS that Parks is simply falling into line.
AS soon as ne saw the way the Con-
vention was endorsing nv recommen-
dations he made haste to get into the
band wagon"
The Parks crowd assert as positively
as ever that their candidate. H. +. Dom
nelly. of Albany, will be elected. The
election will take place tomorrow and
in the fight to name the head of the or
the convention between the Parks and
anti-Parks element.
An important piece of work accom-
pIished at the morning session today
was the adoption of an amendment to
the constitution limiting the power OF
the president and executive COMMITTEES
in calling strikes. The amendment as
adopted provides that in the case OF
general strikes or in the ratification OF
national agreements. a member from
each local shall be called into the ex-
ecutive session and give voice in de-
ter1mining the action to be taken. This
in effect puts the power of ordering gem
eral strikes in the hands of locals them
selves.
A personal victory for President Bu-
chanan was won when the convention
appropriated $195 to pay the expenses
to Kansas City of Robert Neid1g, the
deposed president of union No. OF New
York Mr. Neidig came to the conven-
ton upon the invitation of President
Buchanan. He was fought by the Parks
crowd principally. it was said, because
he had supported President Buchanan in
unfolding the latter's action in suspend-
ing Parks and local No. 2.
Later when he refused the priv1leEe
of sitting in the convention. Parks made
a fight against paying his expenses The
convention also passed favorably upea
the routine bills presented by President
Buchanan. A resolution providing for
a standard initiation fee Of $25 in al
locals was adopted.

The fugitive had. seemingly been
bounded SO closely by various posses
that he was compelled to take his own
life in order to escape his pursuers. He
shot himself under the chin with a re-
volver. and the bullet came out of the
left side of the temple. a box of poison
was found in his coat pocket, together
with an ear of corn half eaten.
