FATHER PURSUES SON
Victim Of Horse Thief Unknowingly
Trails His Soy Down.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 12.-When
]. II. Chambers of Knoxville urged the
bloodhounGs on the track of a horse
thief who had stolen one of his fine
animals Thursday night he did not
know that for every encouraging word
10 the bloodthirsty pack he was forging
a chain of evidence that may send his
son to a felOn's cell.
The revelation came only after
Chambers had followed TIE hounds to
the very door of an East Des MOines
livery stable. and he had identified his
stolen property. \ description Of the
horse thief given there correspondent
dangerously near to that of his own
son, and with fearful misgivings he
fastened 70 the police station.
The worst there was realized. On a
cot in a cell with his head sunk in
silence on his breast, sat the alleged
thief, and the old mans son.
After a restless night, in which duty
and love for the only son, struggled
for the mastery, Chambers appeared
at the station this morning determined
to follow the one cOurse-duty.

SUMMERS MAKES EXPLANATION
District Attorney Corrects Impressions
Of the Two Gases.

OMAHA, Jan. 12-District Attorney
Summers gave out the following state
mant in regard to the Dietrich case:
There seems to be an impression
that the charge against Congressman
briggs recently tried and convicted in
the federal court for the eastern dis
trict Of New York. is the same as that
made against Senator Dietrich. While
it is true that neither Congressman
briggs nor Senator Dietrich had taken
the oath of Office prio- to the date on
which the several Cffenses were al
legged TO have been committed and
that Congressman briggs was also in
dicted under section 1871 for q violation
of that section with respect to certain
contracts, a demurrer to the indict-
ment was flied and it was intimated by
the court that in view OF the fact that
he was only a member elect to con-
gress the Indictment could not be sus
taired.
- second indictment was theTeupOn
returned by the grand jury under sec
ton 1892 which also covers the alleged
Offense with respect to the contract
in question, and which section inhihits
any member Of congress after his cleo
ton and during his continuance in
congress from receiving pay for his
services with respect to any contracts
With the United States, and it was upon
the latter indictment under section
1892 that briggs was tried and con-
victed. Section 1892, however, does not
cover the charge made against Senator
Dietrich. and no indictment against
him has been returned under that sec
ton"

MURDERER COUNTS - VICTIMS
Revenge the Motive for the Destruction
of Many Lives.

GRENSBURG, Pa, Jan. 12.-Charles
E. Kruger, who is to be hanged in the
Greensburg Jail next Thursday for the
murder of a constable who was at
tempting to arrest him, has made a
confession that stamps him as one Of
the worst criminals the country has
ever known. He owns to twelve
murders and innumerable other
crimes.
One of the mysteries cleared up by
kruger's confession is the murder of
City Treasurer John Blevins of New
Castle, Pa, one of the most sensation
al crimes ever committed in this sec
ton of the country and one that has
baffied the police for five years. The
man who so coolly pleads guilty 20
taking twelve human lives is only "a

BOOM FOR BLACKNAN
SAID THE STATE LAND COMMITS
SlCNER WOULD LIKE TO BE
GOVERNOR.
Expected That 10 w;N Announce His
Candidacy az Meeting of State
Labor Federation.
Expected That .!3 wi!l Announce His

The candidacy OF State Labor Com
missioner William Blackman for the
democratic nomination for governor
will probably be launched informally
in Spokane this week when the state
federation Of labor holds it's annual
convention. Mr.. Blackman is president
Of the state federation, and, while
nobody anticipates that the federation
will take any official action, it is gem
rally expected that Mr.. Blackman
will communicate his ambition to the
delegates from the various sections of
the state, and solicit their co-opera-
ton in securing delegations from their
localities.
Mr.. Blackman's friends over the state
are rather aggressive. The most ac-
tive Blackman man is Henry ]. Snive
ly of North Yakima, who is rated by
most people as one of the shreWdest,
if not the shrewdest democratic poll
tician in the state. Mr.. Snively was in
many respects the premier of the ad
Jonn R. Rogers. Mr.. Blackman is a
son in law of Governor Rogers. He
was one of the few democratic state
employees whom Governor Mcbride did
not displace when he came into Office.
Mr.. Blackmans official residence is
in Olympia. His real residence is in
Seattle. He was a railroad engineer
until the famous A. r. L. strike OF 1894
when he went out at the command of
Eugene Y. Debs. 1t IS claimed that he
was blacl1listed at that time by the
railroads. lie was appointed state
factory Inspector by Governor Rogers
in 1897. In 1891 that Office was CONSOLE
dated with that Of state labor commits
sioner. and Governor Rogers named Mr..
Blacklnan to fill the consolidated office.
When Mr.. Blackman was first appoint
ed in 1897 he was unmarried. Suisse
quently. however, he married the gov
ernOrs daughter.

years old. His first murder was COM
mitted when he was a boy of Ii years
Destroys a Train.
Outside of homicides, his most des-
perate piece of deviltry was the de-
struction of a railroad train Of seven
teen cars Of the Pittsburg & Western
Railroad company, for having thrown
him. with other tramps, off freight
cars.
So caiIous was he that he says he did
not even read the account Of the wreck
Of his own making, and SO he says
does not know whether he killed any
one on that occasion.
Kruger threw railroad detective
under the wheels of a passenger train
because railroad detectives had inter
fered with his stealing rides. He
drowned q man in the Ohio river be-
he considered his proper share of the
proceeds Of a robbery, and shot to
death another man in order that there
might be no witnesses to this murder.
Revenge His Motive.
The crime for which his last victim
Constable Beierer, tried to arrest him
was the blowing up of a house, which
he did to get revenge upon its occu-
pants.
Since he has been in prison for the
murder of Constable Beierer, Kruger
has made two attempts to escape, once
almost succeeding. The circumstances
of these attempts have made it clear
that Kruger is the leader of a desper-
ate gang of criminals willing to take
any risk to save him from the gallOws
It is due to this development that the
Greensburg Jail is now a fortified
camp, guarded by rifemen and pre-
pared to Withstand any attack in
force at any time. There will be no
relaxation of vigilance until the trap
falls beneath Kruger on Thursday
morning.
