THREE men ARRESTED
SUSPECTED OF COMPLETELY IN
THE WANToN MURDER OF
FREDDIE KING.

Minneapolis, Nov. 25.-Three men
suspected Of completely in the murder
of little Freddie King, who was killed
during holdup of saloon at Co
Iumbia Heights, in the southern ex-
tremity of Anoka county, Tuesday
night, have been arrested at CRANKY,
Isanti county, and are held at Cam
bridge, the county seat, awaiting the
arrival Of Sheriff Palmer of Anoka
county.
BY a process of elimination the po-
lice have arrived at the conclusion
that the report that there was wo-
man in the case is untrue. They also
scout the theory that two single rigs
were used by the robbers and murder
ers in their attempt to escape.
Chief Conroy and his associates are
of the opinion that the information
given them late Wednesday afternoon
by brakeman on the Great Northern
road is the most substantial cieW to
the thugs.
The brakeman telephoned the chief
of police from Bethel to the effect that
he had discovered three suspicious
characters in box car and had locked
them in He asked for instructions
and told the chief that the next stop
would be at Cambridge. He was told
to keep the men confined and the sher-
if and town marshal of Cambridge
were telegraphed to hold the men.
Men Take to the Woods.
The sheriff was ont of town and
when the marshal went to the train he
was unable to find the men. They had
cut hole through the door of the car
and loosened the lock. When the
train slowed down they took their de-
parture and went into the woods.
The alarm was given and shortly
after 10 o'clock at night the police
authorities of Minneapolis received in
formation that the three suspects had
been surrounded by a posse near
Cranky, an would be taken to Cam
bridge to await the arrival of Sheriff
John Palmer of Anoka county, who
has been in Minneapolis and the
southern part of Anoka county for
nearly twenty-four hours in pursuit OF
the criminals
It is believed by the police that the
murder and holdup were committed
by amateurs living in Northwest Min
neapolis-some bad young men who
have succeeded in escaping penance
in the penitentiary. Several men are
under suspicion and not until the men
arrested at CRANKY are brought to Ano-
ka and confronted by the witnesses OF
the affair at Columbia Heights will
the authorities cease to believe that
the theory is the correct one.
Three men are under arrest at Tur-
tie Lake, Wis, and will be held until
after the men arrested at CRANKY have
been brought to Minneapolis for iden-
LITIGATION.
The men arrested at Cambridge are
all large men and claim to be woods
men. Their appearance bears out
their. statement and points to their
innocence of the King murder.

GREAT BATTLE IMMINENT.

Marshal oyama Preparing to Attack
Kuropatkin.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 25.-Appear-
ances again point to the possibility OF
a big battle south of Mukden. The
Japanese, according to an official re-
port, have received a severe setback
in the vicinity of Sintsintin, in which
direction they apparently were at
tempting to execute a wide turning
movement. Military opinion here
scarcely believes it possible that the
two great armies can winter less than
a rifle shot distance from each other,
though the heavy defenses on each
side make it extremely difficult for
either to assume the offensive. 1t is
believed, however, that if the dead
lock is to be broken General Kuropat-
kin will let Field Marshal Oyama take
the initiative, as the Russians have
the better of the present position,
namely, strong line Of defense. and
Mukden behind them, making satisfac-
tory winter quarters, where the Rus
sian achievements are now accumu-
lating for an advance next spring. The
Japanese also are being strongly rein
forced. The rivers are already frozen
sufficiently to permit of the movement
of artillery and commissariat trains,
80 that the country actually is better
adapted to a Japanese advance than
during the summer.

Rusted Wheat for Seed.

Secretary Chas. E. Chrisman of
the Commercial Club, says the Orion.
vile Herald Star, forseeing that the
matter of good seed wheat would
soon be an important question, and
one perhaps that would be diff cult to
solve. addressed letter to the cereal
laboratory of the department of agri-
culture at Washington. The Cereal
list, NJ. S, Carleton has replied, stating
that "ordinarily rusted wheat is not
at all lnjuued for seeding purposes
tho there might be extreme cases
where grain is so badly shrivelled as
not to be able to furnish sufficient
nourishment for the sprout plant"
This would seem to leave the mat
ter wholly in the hands of the farmer
who is perfectly able to test his
wheat as to its sprouting possibilities,
which seems to be the only question
to consider. The fact that rusted
wheat will produce good grain if it is
not too badly shrivelled to grow, will
simplify the seed whea. question very
materially. This county will be able
to furnish its own seed wheat with
out difficulty.

DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.
Harry w. Cavanaugh, Formerly a
Brakeman on the Browns
Valley.

Valley.
The city papers of Wednesday
contained the account OF the suicide
of Harry w. Cavanaugh, a
young railroad man who was we'll
known here, he having been brakes
man on the Browns Valley line this
summer. Cavanaugh's father la an
engineer Lying at Breckenridge, and
is highly respected.
The following account of the sui
eide is taken from the Minneapolis
Times
because his sweetheart, Mrs. J.
E. Gordon, was paying more atten-
ton to his friend, William Daley,
than he thought to be absolutely
necessary, Harry w. Cavanangh,
26 years old, committed suicide by
drinking carbolic acid last evening
in their room ever 248 Second avenue
S: The man drank about an ounce
of the poison, but was still alive when
the police ambulance took him to the
city hostipal. He died after having
been carried through the doors of the
hostipal and before anything could
be done to relieve him.
''Cavanaugh and the women with
whom he was living had quarreled
constantly for the past four days
over the woman's attentions to Daley.
Yesterday afternoon it reached a
climax when Daley came into their
room to talk to the woman Cavan-
augh was lying on the bed and
listened indifferently to their CONVEX
sation. When Daily left the room
the quarrel reopened with fresh vigor.
"A parcel of laundry came for Mrs.
Gordon. Cavanaugh fatty refused
to pay for it. The woman said that
she was going to leave him, and in
PREPARATION she packed valise sitting
in the room and began gathering up
her clothing and effects. Cavanaugh,
still lying on the bed, watched her
operations until she left the room to
see the landlady. Mrs. Gertie Woods
While she was absent Pearl Erickson,
an employe of the house, entered the
room and found Cavanaugh with a
bottle in his hand.
Pm going to drink this carbolic
acid he announced. And as he
said the words he raised the vial to
his lips and drank the contents.
"Tbe thoroughly frightened girl ran
screaming from the room. The peo.
pie about the house ran in, called by
ner warning cries. Cavanaugh was
lapsing into unconsciousness and
was frothing at the mouth.
'Cavanaugh had formerly been en-
ployed as a Great Northern brake
man, but since coming to Minnea-
polls during fair week in. August he
has done nothing. His relations
with the Gordon woman, who was
known among associates as Kit
Gordon, began two weeks ago, altho
they had been acquainted for six
years. Until two weeks aAo the
Gordon woman, who is separated
from her husband, had been an
inmate of disorderly house on
Second street S, When the house
was closed she went to live with
Cavanaugh.
"A peculiar incident in tie case is
the disappearance of the bottle
which had contained the carbolic
acid that Cavanaugh drank. 1t dis
appeared mysteriously Immediately
after the tragedy and no trace of it
has been found since. All the people
who were in the room at the time
profess absolute innocence as to it's
whereabouts.''

THOUGHT SHE WAS WE'D.
Peculiar Predicament of Girl Who APP
pears at County Clerks Office

The administering Of the required
oath by deputy when persons apply
to the county clerk for a marriage IL
oerse have led several couples in the
last two years to believe that they
we're legally welded by the deputy who
admnistred the oath and hence in such
Instances have caused the contracting
parties much embarrassment ana roh-
fusion. When applying for a marriage
license the law requires the applicants
90 make oath before the CLERK cr he
Gepuiy that they are OF age aud are lo-
gdlly capable OF entering into tn mar
rlasp contract
Some have thought that when they
held w their hands to take such an
oath they were being married and have
departed With that impression only to
find out afterwards when perusing
their marriage certificate that II re-
quires the party performing the cere-
mony b. nh out the certificate and re-
turn II 10 the county clerk. The next
action on their part then is TO call up
on the deputy who Issued the license
and ask him TO All out the certificate.
Then Is when their grave error Is gem
orally discovered and they are Inform
ed that they were not married by the
deputy at all.
An mcfient of this nature was
brought to light yesterday IN the coun-
~ clerks office, after an investigation
which was instituted on Saturday by
Deputy Clerk II, b, Davies at the re-
quest of the young lady who supposed
that she had been married in the Office
OF the clerk. She returned the marriage
certificate with the request that the
deputy wo performed the ceremony MI
out IN certificate. Mr., Davies said
that he would call the matter TO the
attention Of Deputy Clerk Smith, who'
issued the license. Upon investigation
yesterday II was discovered that Mr..
Smith nor any, Of the others connected
with the office who are qualified TO per-
form marriage ceremonies had married
the couple. The young lady said at the
time she left the certificate that she
intended to leave last evening for Chi
cago and wanted the matter fixed up
by the clerk before she went away, She
was very much embarrassed when she
discovered her mistake yesterday and
left the Office In much confusion,
