POLICE WORKING HARD
All Reports of ~Hurrying Horses Are
Being Followed Up.

The police departments Of both cities
have thrown out the drag net for the
murderers and their work so far has re-
suited in assembling many possible
clues.
Most important Of these is the fact
that the description of the men cor
responds exactly with that Of the ban
saloon men last spring. All three men
in both cases were short and apparently
very young, for such desperate work.
-Four young men Wer arrested for the
former robberies,. but cleared them
selves in the district court. These
some Of them cannot be found today.
Frank Cody, one member Of the gang
arrested last spring, was questioned this
morning, but was able to give an &C
count of his movements last night. He
claimed to know nothing of the where
abouts of his "pals' and as they have
not been seen today the police are on
the watch for them.
Whoever the men are, the police of
both cities are positive that they are
local crooks and not newcomers. All
evidence in hand shows that the men
were we'll acquainted with the surround
ings of the saloon and also with the
roads leading away from the city.
Altho the men may have their homes
here, they undoubtedly took to. the
rection is still puzzling the police.
Persons living along theree different
roads informed the police this morning
that two rigs passed their places at
breakneck speed last night. These per-
sons live on the N ew Brighton, Lake
Johanna and Robbinsdale roads. The
posse of farmers followed the buggy
tracks going out the Lake Johanna
r1,hi +ho M;-1o1.a IL.
are following up the other two re-
ports.
The report from Robbinsdale re-
ceives considerable credence, as re-
liable persons declare that two rigs
passed that way between 10 and II
O'Clock last night. In the rear buggy
were man and woman, but the other
rig was occupied by two men. They
were traced as far as Wayzata and
there all trace is lost. Detectives are
still securing the country around and
to get fresh horses if they are in that
vicinity.
The clothes thrown away by the des-
peradoes have been taken to police
headquarters and officers are trying to
learn where they were purchased. The
overalls were brand new, but the tags
telling the make and size had been care
iul1y removed, mus destroying what
little evidence they might afford.
| Careful inquiry at the livery stables
show that the rigs used by the bandits
were not hired in the city. Every pro.
prietor told Captain Conroy this morn.
ing that all rigs were accounted for
| This leads to the belief that they were
stolen, and the police are anxiously
waiting for some one to report stolen
horses; Evidently knowing something

ployed every means to avoid leaving
