FIND CACHE OF LOOT
Gang Stealing Great Northern
Freight Is Broken Up.

Special to The Globe.
HAVRE, Mont, Oct IA clever
piece of detective work on the part of
w. H. Campbell, of this city, and Chief
of Police White has resulted in the
breaking up of a gang of box car
thieves who have been plundering
Great Northern freight, and the recov-
cry at Minot of a cache of plunder
valued at $4,000.
A week ago, when Thomas Allen and
George Wilson were arrested here,
Campbell was put in Jail as a crook
and became Aliens pal. He unfolded
a plan for their release, Campbell re-
porting that he had information which
the local police wanted, and under this
guise Allen was released, although his
partner, Wilson, was kept in Jail.
Campbell went to Minot with Allen.
Upon reaching Minot Campbell was
made familiar with the operations of
the gang. In fact, he accompanied
Allen on one of these box car plunder-
ing expeditions and was made ac-
quainted with the location of the
cache. After securing the necessary
evidence, Allen was rearrested. M. P.
Delaney, Maj. Webb and K. K. Ryan, of
the Great Northern secret force, also
worked on the case.

USES ESASTOyE POKER
Insane Baseball Player Holds
Police and Others at Bay.

ANDOVER, Mass, Oct. 11.-After
felllng his nurse with terrific blow
over the head with stove poker, Ed
ward Doheny, the Pittsburg National
league baseball pitcher, for more than
one hour today, armed with the same
weapon, held a score of neighbors and
several policemen at bay. Finally he
was oVerpowered, and after an exam
NATION by two physicians was adjudged
insane and committed to an asylum at
Danvers. The nurse, Oberlin Howarth
is seriously hurt, but it Is believed he
will recover.
Doheny first showed signs of insanity
several weeks ago, when he suddenly
deserted the Pittsburg club in an Ohio
city While laboring under the delusion
that he was being pursued by detect
ives. After a few weeks rest at his
home here he rejoined the team, but
did not regain his old form. When he
returned home at the end of the season
Doheny was nervous wreck and since
that time has been constantly under
the care of a physician. When Dr.
Conroy called att the house yesterday
Doheny informed him that he did not
need his attentions any longer and in
sisted that the daily calls be discon-
tinued. At first DIR. Conroy looked
upon the matter as a joke, but Doheny
proved that he was in earnest by eject
ing the physician from the house by
force and warning him not to return
Howarth was then engaged to give con-
slant attention totthe case, and during
the evening the patient was quieted
and slept peacefully all night.
Today Doheny sprang from the bed
and seizing a stove poker struck the
nurse terrific blow over the head and
started to smash things right and left.
His wife hurried to the neighbors for
assistance. When they returned Do
heny. dressed only in his night cloth
ing, stood at the open door of the
house with the iron poker and defied
them to take him, threatening to kill
the first man who made the attempt.
Finally Chief of Police Frey and Po-
iceman Mills caught him off his guard
and overpowered him.

CHART OF MISER
CONATSER is MISSING
Paper Showing Location of Buried
Wealth Suddenly DISAPPEARS.

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 1.-THE re-
cent settlement and distribution of the
estate left by Joseph Conatser, a mi
ser, has again set the people of Whit
man county guessing as to what be-
came of chart showing the location
of various places where Conatser had
buried his money. Just before death
Conatser gave Thomas Keyes, his
closest friend, plat which contained
number of marks, dots, and figures,
and pointing from the window of his
cabin, showed the spot where much
money was buried. He asked Keyes
to dig it up, and in an old tin can the
latter found $3.50 in gold coin. Con-
atser gave Keyes to understand that
each spot on the chart marked a place
where the coin was concealed.
When it was found necessary to
move the old man to a hospital this
chart and his other papers were sewed
inside of Conatser's vest. After his
death all the papers were turned over
to the court, with the exception of the
chart.
The mystery which surrounds the
lost chart may never be explained, and
the accumulations of Joseph Conatser,
the Sunset miser, may remain buried
forever.

People i'm Paterson Are Rescued With Boats and the
Losses Will Aggregate MiIIions--Water Is Now Fall
Shipping the Atlantic Coast Suffers Severely
and an Unknown Number of Lives Is Lost.

PATERSON, n. j., Oct. 11.-With
the waters of the Passaic river falling
at the rate of an inch an hour above
the falls and at double that rate below
them, apprehension Of further great
disaster to the city from the food has

being whether Spruce street hill, the

Ing between the river basin above the
falls and the lower valley, was rapidly
caving away into the gorge below the
falls. Lineman Horace Riley lost his
life in one such cave-in, and 1T was
feared today that the flood would wash
away the dyke and precipitate itself
in a huge wall upon that portion Of
the city lying below. A dyke but little
wider than the Spruce street roadway
stood between the city and this disas-

the police felt reasonably sure of it's
permanency.
Thousands of persons are temporarily
homeless, most of them being received
at the houses of friends in the unf1ood-
ed districts, while $500 were sheltered
tonight at the armory, fed and cared
for by the organized charity of the city.
Today many persons who had re-
mained in their homes in the flooded
districts were removed and food was
conveyed to those who remained, the
fire department rigging up emergency
lines from roof to roof. with cars sus
pended thereon for this purpose.

mate the loss until the flood subsidies,

SHAKOPEE SAVED BY
ST. PAUL F|REMEN
Fire Threatens the Town but Is
Checked by Aid From
This City.

The town Of Shakopee was yesterday
saved from destruction by a relief
crew sent from the st. Paul fire de-
partment. A raging fire in the general
store of Charles Graffenstatte, which
is located on Main street. in the heart
OF the business district, threatened to
spread to the surrounding buildings,
fifteen of which are in the same block
and had not the relief train arrived
just at the time the resources of the
Shakopee volunteer department were
exhausted, the fire might have been
disastrous. The total loss is estimated
at $34, 4,3e0, only $4,000 of which was
covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered yesterday
morning at o'clock, and the center of
the building occupied by Graffenstattes
store was then ablaZe. The volunteer
department was summoned, but was
unable to cope with the flames.
Seeing the danger which threatened
the town, Mayor McHale called for aid
from st. Paul. He communicated with
Chief Jackson by telephone and aid
was promised. A special train of the
Omaha road was made up, and in
twenty minutes after the call was re-
ceived apparatus and men from the ST.
Paul department were at the railroad
at the foot of Jackson street waiting
for transportation to the scene of the
fire.
Chief Jackson received the message
at $40 yesterday morning, and the
equipment and men were ready for de-
parture at 6:15. Considerable delay
was occasioned by the necessity of the
special waiting fer the passing of
passenger and a freight train before it
could leave the Western avenue yards.
The train reached Shakopee shortly
after o'clock.

seven below the falls remain and the
cost to the county to replace those de-
stroyed will be at least 100000.
Three Fatalities.
Only three fatalities have been re-
ported. This afternoon seven men who
had been imprisoned in Kearns Bros.
dye house, on the river margin, since
Friday without food were rescued by
Charles and Leopold Muller in small
boat. The Mullers also saved Capt.
William Clark and John Breen, of the
fire department, who had been upset in
an earlier attempt at rescue. Venture
some boatmen assisted the firemen and
police in removing the inmates of the
flooded house. a gun used in shooting
life lines to the roofs of burning build
ings being employed as well.
Many buildings have collapsed and
the foundations of many have been
weakened by the flood and some of
these may fall. The total will also be
largely augmented by the loss through
out Passaic county, reports of bridges
washed away, roads destroyed and
property and crops ruined coming from
all points. The loss in the county out
side of Paterson will equal that inside
of the city.
On account of the exposure of many
of the sufferers to the downpour of
cold rain last night an epidemic of
pneumonia is feared.

COURT SCORES THE
DAWES COMMISSION
Judge Anderson Alleges Lack
of Confidence Exists in
Work of Indian Agents.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct fl
Continued delay in the investigation of
Indian scandals is disappointing to
those who have been pressing for a
correction of the frauds and has led
some high officials to prophesy that
the inquiry may terminate in farce
Such view is not taken because of
the appointment of Charles j. Bona
parte as investigator, but because, in
the meantime, much of the more valu-
able evidence will have been destroyed.
Some of 1T, to be sure, cannot be OBJ
liberated, but as the days and weeks
go by without action the federal Off
Gals involved in the charges have
more opportunity to fortify themselves
and are undoubtedly the class of men
who will make the most of the time
given them.
1t was stated today that the investi-
cation will apparently not be under
way, as far as the interior department
Is concerned, for month yet. So far
as can be learned, Mr.. Bonaparte has
secured no further assistance for his
work and must divide his allegiance
between an investigation in the Indian
territory and the trial of postal fraud
cases in the District of Columbia. The
special agents of the department of
justice have long been at work on their
investigation, but it covers only their
own officials and does not touch the
Dawes commission or a considerable
army of other federal officials in the
territory.
Pointed Words From the Bench.

of the Dawes commission is demon
strated on every hand. The opinion of

The supposition is that in his bewil-

getting into his own home. He made

Flora Bigelow Dodge, formerly of New

residence, which she will occupy as
her home after Oct 20, the date upon
which she obtains possession of the

health is much better since she came

she remains his wife she has no in

of probabilities that II any proceed
ings at all are commenced, they will
be in the nature of suit for a sep

would enable Mrs. Dodge to reside, with
her children, separate from her hus-
band, but which would not allow either
