POLICE HAD FIRST
Clue TO JOHNSON.
BUT ALLOWED PRIVATE DETEo.
TIVE TO MAKE ARREST.
The Prisoner Reaches Minneapolis In
Charge Of q. D. Brown. Who Cap
tured the Man at Charleston, s. o.
Some New Evidence Has Been De.
veloped from Prisoners Admissions.

y . i ! 5.5 j s
Carl Johnson, accused Of completely
at the Falls hotel, reached Minneapolis
today in custody Of G. D. Brown, pri-
vate detective, who arrested johnson
on the United States battleship Texas
at Charleston, s.. c.. i
Since the arrest was made early last
week, there has been much quiet specu-
lation as to why the Minneapolis police
department sat back and permitted a
private detective to step in 50 promi-
nent1y. AS a matter of fact Brown be-,
gan work on clues originally turned up
by a member Of the department, who
promptly laid his information before
alton and, having followed down nu-
merous clues which proved fruitless,
finally decided not to 60 after johnson.
Under these conditions, Brown secured
private backing and went to work,
spurred on by the $1,000 reward Of
fered. Having turned down the case
once, the police authorities are not in
cllned to be overly sanguine regard
ing the outcome, but they admit that
Brown may have found something and
are giving the prisoner q severe try-
out to see what new facts can be de-
veloped.
Brown and his prisoner arrived in the
city. over the Minneapolis & St. Louis
road at am. today, and the prisoner
was taken to Central station in the pa
troll wagon. From now on the police
will put him thru rigid sweating and
altho several admissions have been
gained from him already, he may be
induced to tell more. VA
Engineer Saw Him.
The most damaging evidence OBJ
tanned 50 far is that Of Dan Humphrey,
an engineer for. the Minneapolis &
Western railway, who was backing his
engine past the hotel just after the
murder. He says that two men ran in
front of: his headlight and that the
smaller Of these men was johnson. He
is positive of this, and will take the
stand for the state.
johnson is thought by the. police to
be mentally unbalanced and he admits
himself that he was injured two years
ago in Chicago and that he has not
been fright since. He has trouble
in remembering things, but he remem-
bers that he was in the Falls hotel on
the day of the murder. and that he Dor.
rowed money there. al
When first confronted with the Bade1
murder by his superior officer on board
tthe battleship Texas he nearly broke
! down, and since that, time has been ex
! treme1y nervous. AS he neared Mime
zapolis he lost his self control and sew
seral times, appeared to be on the point
of collapsing. m 49, aeafs

It was claimed this morning that all
the good territory was claimed some
time ago. Indian Agent Lovegrove
with volunteers went into the territory
adjoining the line looking for sooners

the location notices taken from claim

of the trip at mass meeting of ex-

signed the notices were found their

There is a strong feeling against
the Tonopah and Goldf1eld miners who

It is estimated at least $4,000 will be

any man found on the reservation
when they get there.
The saloons and gambling halls did

were several shooting scrapes but nc

To the Editor:

Ever since he has been
able to vote, Otto Rupp, while masque-
rading as a republican, has been ven-
omously knitting a good one-half of the
candidates which the republican con-
ventions of Walla Walla county pre-
sented to the voters for their suffrage
and he vigorously fought against Judge
Brents and spread broadcast SANDER
Gus reports with intent to defeat MIN.
He has done so on the ground that
his personal preference was superior
to the judgments Of the conventions
of his own party. He has belittled and
villified the honest judgments of his
own party, or at least the party which
he owns for the purpose Of his elec-
tion to the office Of county attorney.
He has exerted every effort, fair and
unfair, for their defeat. He certainly
cannot ask the support Of any republi-
can in Walla Walla county on the

state penitentiary were residents and
voters of Lewis precinct in Walla
Walla county. He was mainly respon-
sible for the filing of the complaint
and for it's vigilant prosecution. Judge
Bents dismissed the proceedings for
the technical reason that the evidence
did not show that Mr.. Woods actually
swore to his residence in Lewis pre-
cinct, although it did show that he
signed the affidavit. In letting Mr..
Woods off on this tecnnicality, Judge
Brents took occasion to denounce him
in such scathing terms that it re-
sounded throughout the state. and
caused him to be dismissed from mis-
position in disgrace. Mr.. Rupp evil

Wods possessed, and upon his securing
the republican nomination, he at once

Science church, but is a mere puppet

reporters, seeking the truth about Mrs.
Eddy's condition, and Professor Kent

They say that after the interview,
which was brief on account of pres
sure of business, each of the men ex-
pressed surprise at the remarkable
good physical and mental appearance
of Mrs. Eddy.
Other leaders of the church are stir
red to emphatic denials.

Promptly at noon the signal was given

twenty-five pounds Of giant powder

overlooking Cat Creek, a point that can
be seen for miles around.
As soon as the flash of the explod-

started off.
When the signal was given there was
a mad dash for the mountains where
the mineral claims are located. Auto
mobiles, horses, mules, bicycles and
every conceivable mode of transport

Unless Mrs. Eddy's associates have

movement will likely be started by
the leading science body.
Publicity Necessary.
Their attitude is that evasion or a
desire to cloud the facts as expressed
by the Eddy managers will have effect
no more. They must prove or dis
prove tine truth or falsity of the re-
ports concerning the leader.
Representatives Of the press Of the
