VANN'S jtWElRy.
Found in an Old Barn Near Minnaa-
polls Lodging House.
IT WAS MUNROE'S PLUMBER.

The big pile Of iewelry which was
| stolen from the safe of S. Vann & Son
several months ago, was discovered
this afternoon under the old red barn
north of the Minneapolis roomine
| house, on South Second street
a couple of small boys were hunting
for eggs when they found a couple of
watches under the edge Of the barn.
They reported the matter to couple
of gentlemen at the house and a search
was made, which brought about the
discovery of coffee can concealed
under the lead into the barn.
This contained about eighty watches
and number Of chains and rings.
Marshal McMilin was notified and a
more thorough search was made in
which large coffee sack was discov-
cred which was filled with the working
material, cases and works. A blue
handkerchief and an old cloth both
filled with rings and chains were found
along with the other
The jewelry was brought to the
Vann store just as The Citizen is going
to press, and it was impossible to get a
complete list Of that discovered. But
from the quantity the cans, sack and
handkerchiefs contained there is no
doubt but that all the stolen jewelry
has been recovered.
That Monroe was the right man, is
beyond doubt. as it is known that ne
slept at the Minneapolis house the
night of the robbery. Farrell and My
crs, the other two suspects, held at the
county Jail, who have confessed having
been with Monroe, were undoubtedly
connected with the robbery.

ing assaulted Mrs. Louise Thomas last
night at the home of V. p. Edie, where
Mrs. Thomas IS employed as a servant.
The case was a very complicated one.
From the facts that could be obtained

home, then they had a quarrel, which
ended in Special threatening her life.
She became frightened and ran out in
tC the street, where she hailed a boy
who was passing on a bicycle and sent
him after the police. Officer Cooper
located his man at Martins restaurant
on Third street. where Special is a
cook, and placed him in safe keeping.
The judge fined him $40 for trifling
with the tender affections of the young
