the trail Of the Sawyer bank robbers,
arrived in Minot at $3.50 o'clock last
night in an automobile. All five of
the Sawyer robbers were CAPTURED

Two desperadoes were discovered
asleep in hay stack two miles from

commanded to surrender by Deputy
Sheriff Ed Kelley and four members
Of the posse. They had $500 on
their persons.
A short time later the other three
robbers were taken near the barn on
the farm of George Hart. One rob-
Der was shot quite seriously in the
leg after his refusal to surrender.
Another member Of the trio jumped
into slough and dropped about $500
in bills and currency. The third MEM

on the prairie as he attempted to
make his getaway.
All the members of the gang, how
ever, were rounded up and taken to

remainder probably was planted in the
neighborhood.
Four members Of the gang are

New England waters. Her trial will
be made to determine how we'll she
steams, whether her machinery works
smoothly and approximately what
her speed Is. The ship is reported as
fit as race horse, and that she will
meet and exceed the requirements of
the contract is regarded as a certainty
by naval experts who have closely
watched her progress from the day her
keel was laid down in the yards Of the
Newport News shipbuilding company.
Particular interest attaches to the
trial OF the Minnesota because it is the
first for the new ships upon which
there was the stipulation of an extra
trial for speed of four hours duration
over measured course. The ship will
be tried according to the standardized
screw method in accordance with the

less telegraph and three tunnels. Their
appearance is considerably different
from the battlestips OF the Massachu-
setts type, which is much smaller. The
older ships have but two tunnels. The
Alabama class resembles the Mime
sofa more closely, although the fun
rels Of that type are two in number,
and are placed abreast. 1t will take
$40 officers and bluejackets to man
each Of the new ships, against $50 for
a ship like the Massachusetts.
The Minnesota and her sister ships
will carry an armament of four 12-inch
and eight S-inch breech- loading rifles
in turrets and twelve Finch breech-
loading rifles in broadside batteries,
besides twenty 3inch rapid-fre guns,
twelve 3-pounder rapid-firers and eight
1-pounder guns. There are also to be
on board two 3-inch field guns, six
30-calibre automatic and two 3O-cali-
Der Maxim pieces for the use Of land
ing parties. This is much more effec-
tive outfit Of guns than that Of the
earlier battleships.

Venezuela.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, Oct. 24.-The United
States can take no steps to bring about
the extradition Of Silveria, the Cuban
banker wanted in Havana and now
said to be in Caracas, Venezuela.
There is no extradition treaty between
the Republic of Cuba and Venezuela
and the United States cannot inter-
fere in any way in the case, according
to state department officials who in
sist that the relations of this govern
ment to Cuba are not such as to justify
American participation in any move to
have Silveria extradited. Consequent
". Gov. Magoon of Cuba may ask
President Castro of Venezuela to per-
NIT Silveria to be taken by Cuban au-
thorities, but the outcome is dependent
entirely on the will of President
Castro.

White and Frank Aldrich, colored,
were instantly killed, presumably by
an explosion Of gas, in the st. Paul
Gas company's tunnel at Fourth and
John streets today. The men were
fitting some pipes in the tunnel and

when workman at the gas plant saw
flames coming from the mouth of the
tunnel. He turned in a fire alarm. but
when the firemen arrived. the flames
were out and no odor of gas was no.
ticed.
The bodies of the two men had been

Assocs..l Press to Vhe Evening Times.
Chicago. ILL.,, Oct. 24.-The meeting
OF the American Railways association,
which began In Chicago today, is of
far more than usual Importance and
1t is expected that the deliberations
and conclusions of the meeting will
give a severe jolt to some of the rail-
roads OF the country that are persist
emily mean" in their dealings with
other roads. The association proposes
to adopt measures which will put rail-
way "leeches" out of business, and will
impose heavy penalties on "car
thieves" as to make it profitable for
them to quit their evil ways. A "rail-
way leech" is road which persistent
ly refuses to purchase as much equip
ment as 1t needs and depends for its
traffic upon securing enough cars from
other lines at per diem rate, which IS
Improbable to the owners. A "car
thief" is railroad which gets possess
sion of cars belonging to other roads,
runs them away, and uses them for It's
own purposes. regardless of the wishes
OF the owners.

Washington, Oct. 24.-While no Of
fetal statement is obtainable, unofi-
cial information confirms the report
that the president will appoint Attor-
ney General William H. Moody OF
Massachusetts,. to the vacancy in the
supreme bench made vacant by the
retirement Of Associate Justice Henry
B. Brown. The announced intention
Of the president to appoint Moody to
the supreme court bench came as a
surprise, as it was generally UNDER
stood that he had eliminated the attor-
ney general from consideration in that
connection, because of the fact, main
ly, that Massachusetts, already has a
representative on the bench in the
person Of Associate Justice Holmes
Moody's nomination will be sent to
the senate when congress convenes,

he will not take his seat on the bench
until about January first. when, as
