-T.-R. Leads to Identification of the
Cracksman-Left for Point in Di.
rection of the River.

The publication of the photographs
T.-R. Thursday evening led to the pos
Iitive identification of one of the num-
Der, James Corcoran, but after Corcor-
an had been seen near Sabula, jackson
county. W. p Hughes telegraph edi-
tor of the T.-R., received letter this
morning that was turned over to Sher-
if Hutson. in the hope that this clue
might be worked upon.
Mrs. Hughes, who is visiting rela-
tives at Sabula, has been receiving
the T.-R. during her absence, and on
Friday afternoon showed the paper to
her brother, John Dickinson. who lives
on farm near Sabula. Mr.. Dickinson
was surprised when he glanced at the
pictures, to find that one of the num-
Der, James Corcoran, had been to his
farm only Friday morning, and asked
for a drink of water. Mr. Dickinson
positively Identifies the man from the
photograph, and his description talies
exactly to the description as publish
cd in the T.-R, Wednesday. even to
the scar on the young mans face.
Mrs. Hughes conveyed the intclli-
gence to her husband at once, and the
letter, this morning, was turned over
to the sheriff, who will flood that part
of the state with circulars. Mr.. Dick
inson states that the stranger told him
that he had travelled from Colorado
since Tuesday morning. and was on
his way to Wisconsin, where relatives
reside. When asked If he wanted to
work Corcoran replied that he wasn't
looking for a job. Corcoran then went
over to neighboring farm. run by
a man named Jones. where he secured
something to eat, and then headed to-
ward the river. The Dickinson and
Jones farms both lie along the Miss
issippi, and there is much heavy tim
Der, which would afford an ideal hid
ing place.

Most of the events We're holly con-

a comparatively easy time of it. Early
in the meet the colors of the Arnold
school were waving triumphant for
the victories Carl Miller had won by
capturing first place in both the %
and so yard dashes, which were the
first two run. Then the Click and Rog-
ers began to creep up on the leaders,
and after the seventh event victory
was all but assured for the Click boys,

of winning the relay, and had a likely

The 220 yard run was the greatest
running event of the meet, and from
the crack of the pistol to within ten
yards of the finish Packer and Hughes
ran side by side. In the squirt to the

the runner from the Rogers school by
half yard.

category OF base ball misdemcanors

les yesterday, gave them their first
beating in the Burlington series, and
gave the public one of the poorest ex-

local grounds. The score was 10 to 4,

visitors made them look like a lot of
amateurs when 1t came to handling
the ball
Paul. the big twlrler, was unsteady,
erratic and wild by turns, and most of
his team mates were as bad as he was.
Wild throws were plentiful, fumbles
were numerous and bases on balls
came in patches. While Paul contrib
uted enough bad breaks and passes to
have beaten an old-timer, had his team
stood up behind him and given him the
support a green finger needs, the To-
calls would have had show to win.

 A prominent critic says of the pro- duction: "A beautiful story it is, too,,- dramatic; romantic and true to life in every respect; yet, in the entire pro- duction. there is not word or action to offend even the most fastidious, and parents and their children will slean many a fine moral lesson from it's beautiful and truthful teachings.
