CAPTURE TWENTY OF THE GANG
ONLY SIX OF GANG WHICH MUIR.
DERED CONSTABLE NOW AT
LARGE.

Ellsworth, Wis, July 17.-With the
local Jail overcrowded by the captives
made by the posses seeking for men,
bers of the band of Italians who muir
dered Constable Isace last Friday, the
searchers have relaxed their efforts
and many of the deputies have return
ed to their homes. Twenty members
of the gang now are behind the bars,
leaving but six at liberty, and these
six are being watched for in the vari
Gus towns and cities along rivers and
railroads south of Prescott. 1t is be
lieved, however, that all those directly
concerned in the murder have been ar
rested.
Extreme terror has seized the pris-
oners, augmented by the reports given
them by the last two captives, brought
in late last night from River Falls,
that the whole twenty-six when cap
tured are to be hanged for the death
of the constable. They can speak but
little English and have no conception
of the formalities of trial by jury.
Offer $50 for Freedom.
Three of the men taken Saturday
night attempted to bride their captors
to set them free, one Offering SIS and
the other two $40 apiece to be allowed
to go. Fears of wholesale suicide on
account of this terror are entertained
by the authorities, and close watch
| is being maintained to prevent any
such acts.
1t now is regarded as probable that
the hearings on the charge of murder
will be held next week. and it is
thought possible that Saroguse, who
declared when captured that the con
stable was killed in self-defense, will
plead guilty in an effort to shield his
companions.
Found Around Camp Fire.
Saturday night posse, which was
travelling on handcar along the Bur
llngton road, came upon a camp fire
around which five of the gang We're
sitting. The posse opened fire on the
fugitives, who Immediately took to
their heels and scattered. These same
five Italians We're captured yesterday
morning at the farm of Joe Tillguard

about. twelve miles below Prescott
They made no resistance, and al.
though opposed by only Tillguard suf
fered themselves to be locked up in
granary until the sheriff arrived. The
fugitives We're on the verge of exhaus-
ton from hunger, eXpolsure and fright,
and appeared q I'D that the hunt was
over.
Beg for Their Lives.
The two men captured at River

At the close of the recount of the bal
lots cast in the recent election in Murray

The original poll credited Richards with
535 votes and Haigh with 533. The diff
ference of L votes in the two totals was
caused by the rejection Of three Haigh
votes and two Richards votes the throw
ing out of two votes and the taking of

the ballots were found to be marred and
mutilated, and bearing marks not au-
thorized by the statutes. Haigh was a

the narrow majority of two votes to

IOWA GOVERNOR ANSWERS
Did Not Charge Members of Legis'
Iature With Corruption.

Des Moines, Ia, March Ex-Governor
Cummins today answered the Gilland
resolution of inquiry respecting the
charge made by the governor in his let
ter to the Republicans of Iowa to the
effect that the railroad lobby has been
working against the primary election
bill.
He stated that he had not charged
members of the legislature with being
bribed or the railroad lobby with cor
ruption of the members of the legisla-
ture; nothing he had said could be
tortured into that sort of meaning. But
he maintained the truthfulness OF his
charge that the railroads OF state are
interested in defeating primary election
legislation and have worked against
bills pending in the legislature.
Senator Gilland said after the mes
sage had been read to the senate-it
also was read to the poase-tnat IL
closed the incident so far as he was
concerned.

FINANCED BY BIG Three
Insurance Companies Respon-
SibIe for the Railway Merg-
erS of Past Few Years,

Columbus. o., March 21.-SamUel I'm
termyer of New York, chairman of the
international Policy-holdeTs' associa-
ton, spoke before the house committee
on insurance tonight in advocacy of the
fourteen bills drafted on the lines of
the measures submitted to the New
York legislature by the Armstrong COM
mittee, which are now pending in the
lower branch Of the Ohio legislature
Referring TO the large SURPLUS car
ried by the leading companies, Mr.. In
termyer said:
THE most important public duty you
have to perform is to stop these accu-
mutations by insisting upon the annual
distribution of dividends But for the
temptation of these vast assets this
country would not today be cursed with
the great problems of railway COM
binations with which it is now contend
ing. They were financed largely
through the three great insurance COM
panies by the means Of the so-called
collateral trust bond. The objection
to all this proposed legislation is not
that it is radical, but far too conserva-
tive If it were possible to force dis
tTibutiOn of the surplus already accu-
INFLATED and break up these Ubiquitous
contracts in the form of deferred divi-
dends so as to compel distribution of
the moneys thus held, it would be the
greatest blessing ever conferred upon a
swindled community. That, however. is
not possible without endless complica-
tions. and so we must leave the iniQui-
ties of the past and turn our faces to
the future"

DESKS WERE RANSACKED
Office of United States District
Attorney for Oregon Twice
Entered by Burglars.

Portland, Ore, March 21.-Two sue
cessful and one unsuccessful attempts
to burglarize the Office of the United
States district attorney, w. C. Bristol
on the third floor of the postoffice
building. have been made recently, ac-
cording to information which became
public today.
The first two times, on which an en-
trance was gained, the desk of the spe-
cial inspector, T. d. Neuhausen, was
ransacked. The third effort was
thwarted by Mr.. Bristol himself, who,
having occasion TO go TO his office one
evening, discovered a man picking the
lock in the office door. Mr.. Bristol un-
dertook to capture the fellow. but the
burglar succeeded in escaping, after
leaving his coat sleeve in Mr. Bris-
tolls hands.
That the burglaries were committed
in behalf Of the persons connected with
the government land frauds prosecu-
tions is evident from the fact that the
papers bearing on this subject were
carefully segregated. and it is evil
dent from the manner in which they
were left that they had been carefully
read. The documents in the desk have
been checked up. and as far as it is
able to ascertain none have been
stolen. In whose interest the burglaries
were committed the government re-
fuses to state. but it is intimated that
the officials have well-grounded sus-
picions.

Defended by Chamberlain.
Joseph Chamberlain, in a speech de-
Tending Lord Miner, said It would be
despicabie to hUmiliate a great public
servant for a single error Of judgment.
The motion. he said, was vindictive.
Lord Miner had frankly expressed re-
greet for the error. If, Mr.. Chamber
lain said, either the motion or the gov
ernmeht's -cowardly amendment should
be carried. ne hoped a future present
ment would expunge from the records
such a disgraceful motion.
Mr.. Churchill, in moving his amend
ment. urged that the Liberals could
afford to be generous. As Lord Mil
ner had quilted the public service after
eighteen years of exhausting work
without either a pension of a gratuity
it was not worth while to pursue him
further. Mr.. Churchill appealed to the
house not to adopt the motion
