ming to catch red-handed the men
whose criminaEty had taken on so de-
PRAYED a turn that they would resort
to the theft of the body of the most
beloved American, we found that they
had outwitted us. AS quickly as
could recover my presence of mind
after the shock of surprise over find
ing the catacomb empty except for the
desecrated sarcophagus, l ordered my
assistants to separate and scour the
shrubbery surrounding for the ghouls
Going back, it occurred to me that
the ghouls might have sought conceal
ment on the upper parts of the struc-
ture. In the shadow | saw the figures
of two men whom l could not discern
clearly enough to identify them. 1t
never occurred to me that they might
be other than Hughes and Mullen, and
called out for the men below to come

answered, the bullets whistling past

and l still kept silent. 1t took but
moment, however for the pursued men
to make themselves known as McGinn
and Hay, the Pinkerton men, who had
mounted the steps in the hope of find
ing the ghouls hidden there
Thus for a time was the most Sc
rious and dastardly plot ever devised
turned into farce. Our prey had es-
capped and in order to justify ourselves
against the ridicule that would be
heaped on us when the events of the
night became known l Immediately
took up the trail of Hughes and Null

tasted at a farmhouse about seven
miles from Springfield the next morn
ing, they were again lost to US. There
could now be no rest till the men were
run to earth. Ten days later they
were located in the saloon at 294 West

most interesting series of articles on

Unique Birthday Celebration.


Menasha, Wis, Aug 1S.-One of the
most unique birthday celebrations ever
held in the city, and possibly in the en-
tire state, took place at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Mackin in this
city. Four generations were repre-
scented at this gathering and the most
notable feature is the fact that each
representative of a generation was
born on the sixteenth day of August.
Mrs. Mary Mackin, the great grand
mother, was born in Milwaukee on
Aug. 16, 1885. Thomas Mackin, her
son, was born in Milwaukee on Aug.
16, 1886. John Mackin, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Mackin, was born
in this city ON Aug. Is, 1873, and
Raphael, the 5-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Mackin, was also born
in this city on Aug. 16.

SEES BRIBERY IN
LA CROSSE JAIL
Sheriff Believes Money Was Used to
Aid Escape of Cunningham
and TrainOr.

Lacrosse, Wis, Aug. 19.-Sherif1
Haugen says there is every indication
that money was used to get tools tc
Andrew Cunningham, and perhaps to
Earl Trainor, the prisoners who es
capped from the Lacrosse jail. In the
case of Cunningham, the prisoner was
constantly guarded by prison EN-.
ployes, and it seems almost impossible
that tools could have been sent to his
cell without the knowledge of some
one about the Jail.
He was never allowed near a win
dow, nor were any of the prisoners
friends allowed to see him. He was
watched while he ate and no oppor-
tunity was given him to get an eating
knife or other tool at that time. Sher-
iff Haugen seems to welcome the
shakeup in his all force, and is
anxiously awaiting the arrival of
United States secret service men.
