Siemsen confessions of the holdup of
DR.. T. B. W. Leland on the night of
July 10, with a view TO generating
James Dowdall. alias James Sutton,
and secure his release from San Quen-
tin, where he is now serving the first
month OF ffty-year sentence for the
crime.
Hanley said that as soon as SUIT
tons lack of connection with the case
is proved by an investigation of the
newly developed facts. he, as prose-
cutting officer, will unite with Judge
Bradley V. Sargent, who pronounced
sentence on Sutton, District Attorney
Langdon and DR.. Leland, who was the
chief witness In the case, in a petition
to the Governor for Sutton's immedf-
ate release from the penitentiary
In view of the complete admissions
and statements of Dabner and Siemsen.
ii will not be difficult task to place
the blame where il rightfully belongs.
Following the Leland holdup, the vic
tim received by mail the return of
the property taken from him, with a
note inclosed in the box Dabner says
that this note was in his own hand
writing. that the box containing the
goods was secured in a candy store and
were sent to DR.. Leland by HIM
self, which makes absolute proof of
his connection with the case an easy
matter. 1t was largely on strong cir
cumstantial evidence that Sutton was
convicted, but DR.. Leland himself iden-
tined Sutton as the man who robbed
him, although when first called upon
to do so he was not positive in his
identification and only made 1t com
plete at the time of the final trial.

DIR. Aldrich was found near the en-

They agreed to do the work for SIS,
a very reasonable figure, and Trumbo

days later they came around with their

Mrs. Trumbo was playing the piano

They Informed her that their work
would likely cause a lot of dust TO come
down the chimney and advised her TO
cover up the furniture.

memories of his boyhood days at home
and told her how much he admired

contract at such low figure hoping
that he would use his influence to Sc
cure them the contract to nix the
chimneys Of the Cosmos Club. Trumbo
consented 10 do this. but discovered
that the club officials had already let
contract for the work.
When Siemsen and Dabner learned
this news Trumbo says, they were very
much disappointed. They told him that
they had been figuring on that job
for many weeks and believed they
would be in a fair way to secure a lot

club Trumbo says the men left then,
both appearing to be very downcast
at not securing the big contract
The matter slipped Trumbo's mind
till he picked up the papers and saw
the photographs of Siemsen and Dab
ner as the self-confessed murderers
and bank robbers. Then the truth
flashed upon him in a minute. He rea-
lized that Siemsen and Dabner hoped
to secure the contract at the Cosmos
Club in order to get the lay of the
land there and make big cleanup
when the proper moment arrived
DABNER FAINTs IN PRISON.
When Trumbo called at police head
quarters yesterday he was taken before
the men. Both recognized him at first
glance. Siemsen greeted him very COR
daily and recalled the pleasant days
he and Dabner had spent while work
ing on the chimney in the Sutter- street
mansion.
The bravado spirit that young Dab
ner first exhibited is gradually wearing
away. Late Tuesday night the ter
rible strain began to tell upon him
and he tainted dead away in his cell
at the Bush-street station. When the
jailer called he found the crime-staine
youth on the floor, oblivious of all his
surroundings. 1t took nearly an hour
to restore him to a normal state, and
when he did regain consciousness he
moaned piteously. saying: My God
father was right. This will kill my
poor old mother"
The police are afraid that the young
criminal may break down in this way
very frequently, and they therefore
plan to keep him very quiet for the
next few days. He will be denied all
callers and even isolated from his fell
low-prisoners so that his mind may be
relieved from the strain that has told
upon it so plainly during the last
thirty-six hours.

WILL TEST THAT POINT
Shooting Ducks on the Public High
way: An Appeal Taken.

Fergus Falls, Now CDR. F. n.
Whitaker of this city appeared in JUS
tice court here to answer to the charge
of shooting ducks on a public highway,
The charge being preferred by the SUI
pervisors of the town of Tumuli. The
highway runs over Mr.. Whittaker's
farm and the point where the shooting
took place is famous duck pass. DIR.
Whitaker maintains summer resort
there, and wishes. to preserve the pass
for the benefit of his guests, and the
people of the township, being denied
the right to shott there, propose to
put stop to all shooting. The pass is
a very narrow one, and was dedicated
to the public as road, with shooting
rights reserved, by a former owner of
the farm. DIR. Whitaker was sentenced
to pay a fine of S. and costs, and i'm
mediately appealed to the district court.
1t is expected that the case will event
ually reach the supreme court.

assembled from quite wide territory.
j. j. Quinn, of Minneapolis, secretary

Subjects of Importance to the grain
dealers of the northwest were consider
ed, the leading topic being reciprocal
demurrage. 1t is probable that a mea-
sure providing for reciprocal demurrage
will be introduced at the next session of
the state legislature, and the elevator
men are discussing the matter with a
view to reaching some conclusion as to
whether or not it is desirable from the
standpoint of the grain dealers that
such law should be passed.
Last evenings meeting was held at
Hotel Calumet, and upwards of twenty
five grain men were in attendance.

On Sunday Leo Moen and Harold
Cross of Fairmont were duck hunting

a boat and rowed to shore. Leo stooo
up and picked up his gun with one
hand and stepped out of the boat. In
doing so he believes that he struck
the hammer on the edge of the boat
and the gun was discharged.
The front of his coat and cap were
torn away and the force of the charge
tore open his cheek, splintered the jaw
bone and though but two shots were
found imbedded in the flesh, it was an
ugly wound. Leo had plenty of grit
and did not get excited. Mr.. Dickinson
was on the ground and as soon as pos
