SMITH SURROUNDED
NEAR TAYLOR, WIS.
Capture of Sheriff Harris Murderer Is
Expected Today

Special to The Globe
WINONA, Mimi, June 2S.-A report
was received here late tonight that
John Smith, the murderer of Sheriff
Harris, of Eau Claire, is surrounded
near Taylor, Wis. 1t is stated that
the soldiers and large posse are
about ready to close in on the man,
and it is believed that he will be cap
tured within twenty-four hours.
Troops and bloodhounds left Trem-
pealeau this afternoon. Smith crossed
the Black river a few miles from
Trempealeau this morning, and he was
later discovered near Stevenstown He
was then traced to Snake Hollow, near
Melrose, and here he stole horse and
started for Taylor.
AT Galesville he entered a farmhouse
and demanded something to eat. When
the food was placed on the table he
placed his revolvers in front of him
and allowed no one to leave the room
Smith is also wanted for killing the
chief of police of Havre, Mont After
the killing of the Montana officer he
grew fearful that his wife or child
might give the crime away, so, it is al
legged, he shot them both and fed to
Wisconsin. He is twenty four years
old,

history of the party in this state.
They must admit that they are look
ing into the barrel of gun that is
equally likely to shoot either way.
They are confronted with the prop
osition that neither of the two leading
candidates for governor has a majority
of the whole number of delegates en-
titled to seats and votes in their state
convention, and that while third can
didate has only a respectable following,
there are more than 200 delegates
seats for which there are rival claim
ants.
It is a unique situation in which
Minnesota Republicans find themselves
on the eve of a gubernatorial conven-
tion, and it is one which it is safe to
say will not be permitted to exist
again within the experience of a ma
jority of men who will sit in the con-
vention on Thursday.

managers of the rival candidates for
governor, and not forgetting that eight
counties will come to the Republican
