HIDING IN CHICAGO.
Escaped Postofice Robbers Are Believe
to Be with Their Wives.

to Be with Their Wives.
Chicago, H., Aug. 28.-Homer Earl
TrainOr and Andrew Cunningham. the
two postoftice thieves who escaped re-
Gently from the La Crosse, Wis, Jail,
are believed to be hiding in Chicago.
PostoIfice Inspector James e. Stuart
yesterday furnished the police photo
graphs and complete descriptions of the
men. The inspector received his in
formation from members of the gang
who aided them in their esca pc. The
gang, directed by Eddie" Fav, is be-
lieved to have furnished the 800 which
was used to influence j. NJ. Childers,
turnkey at the La Crosse Jail, who was
arrested on Saturday, after four years
of service, and locked up in the cell that
TrainOr escaped from.
Fay, furthermore, acted in collision
with the wives of TrainOr and Cunning
ham. it is charged. Together they
raised the necessary money and saw
that it was placed properly, Col. Stuart
believes. The women are believed to be
in this city, where they probably have
been Joined by their husbands.
Search was made in this city for Mrs.
Cunningham and Mrs. Trainor. They
lived up to six weeks ago in a south
side hotel. and appeared to be well sup
piled with funds No trace of them
could be discovered. Mrs Cunningham
has sister who works in q printing
office in Plymouth place, but she said
that she had not heard from her sister
lately.
There is no question in my mind, :"
said Inspector Stuart, that the escape
of Trainor and Cunningham. as we'll as
that of Fay and half dozen other no.
torious pOstoffice thieves that the Wis
cOnsin jails were not strong enough to
hold, was planned in Chicago. The two
women did the work, aided by the turn
key, but Rays was the master mind that
directed it.
II have received information that Fay
is in Chicago, but | am slow to believe
that a man of his intelligence would take
chances by remaining here, but no mat
ter where he is it is certain that he
found the money and directed the jail
breaking.
Fay, Trainor and Cunningham, and a
score of others belong to a gang of
thieves who devote their entire atten-
ton to postoffices. There always will
be trouble with them until Fay is re-
arrested. The kind of a man Fay is and
the extent of his resources may be gath
cred from his offer of $4,000 to me if
would as he expressed it, ''be a good
fellow"
''When he was taken to Wisconsin aft
err his arrest in April, 1904, he offered
the deputy United States marshal who
had him in, charge $4,000 if the latter
would allow him a trife of freedom as
the train reached the northern outskirts
of Evanston"

this money together with other sums.
He is also asking for prayer circles in
aid of his appeals.
September will be month of
needs" Mr.. HOLSTER continues. Pray
ers must be offered, the trend of enlarg-
ing work modified and fixed. Make that
a month of special pleading. The help
so far is marvellous"
Native Helpers Secured.
A band of native helpers have been Sc
cured. Mr.. HOLSTER wrote the letter on
board the Steamship Egypt on August

PROBE GRAIN INSPECTION.
Wisconsin Minnesota Controversy Is Re-
ferred to United States Attorney
General Moody.

Superior, Wis, Aug. 25.-It was
learned yesterday that George NJ. Young
of North Dakota has taken up the grain
inspection matter with United States Al
torney General Moody. The state sena-
tor asks the attorney general as to the
rights OF Minnesota inspectors and the.
railroads to do certain things, and urges,
him to- take vigorous action in the mat
ter if he should find that the provisions
of the interstate commerce act are being
violated. The reference of the matter
to the attorney general comes from the
fact that cars of grain consigned from
Dakota TO Superior have been. held up
at Duluth and given Minnesota inspec-
ton without being ordered for such in
SpectiOn.
