soon after the hold-up, confessed yes
terday morning, and told where he hid
the money. He went with the police
and officers of the express company
fand the entire amount was found.
Will Plead Guilty.
II am going to plead guilty when
they take me into court" said Gunder-
son last night at the central station.
IL am going to take my medicine.
There's nothing else TO do. There is
nobody else TO blame"
Gunderson insists that he did not
mean to hold up the express office
when he went there; that it was not
even in his mind when he sent the por-
ter for the whisky. He was drunk, he
says. and the robbery was drunken
freak.
Most CT the money was hidden in
places near the Jackson street shops
of the Great Northern. Gunderson
broke the packages and distributed
the $4,000 among four places. Yester'
day Gunderson led the police to The
places where he had hidden the money
and assisted them in recovering it.
Tells All About II.
GunderSon in his confession told es
sentially the same story of the hold-up
as that told by Fred Zimmerman. He
said that he went TO the union depot
office of the express company. He
knew the clerks because, until a few
days previously, he had been in the
employ Of the company. He spent
about an hour there talking to the
clerks, until all were gone except Zim.
norman and the porter. He sent the
porter TO get some whisky and then
held up Zimmerman, forcing him AT
the point of a revolver to open the
safe. from which he took the package
containing $4,000 sent by the Mer-
chants National Bank of st. Paul TO
the American Exchange Bank of Du-
luth.

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in thousand APP

without experiencing n train of very

This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman

at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in deranged

apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this per % d

Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes headaches,

pending evil, palpitation of the heart,

New York. April 1.--Deliberation

t1.40 o'clock tonight the jury was
ordered locked up for a second night

The fact that they had not been able

PROBLEM TO GET
RUFF JURORS
Prosecution Will Strive TO Have a
Fresh Venire Summoned by
EIiSOr, Moi Sheriff.

San Francisco, April 11.-One Of
the most important questions from
material as well as purely legal
standpoint to be evolved out of the
Ruef trial was projected today by the
prosecution, and Will he determined
tomorrow by Judge Dunno. 1t is,
briefly state, whether the action of
the court in disqualifying the sheriff
from having the custody of Ruef had
and has the effect OF disabling the
sheriff from now summoning fresh
venire from the regular jury list of
2400 names, and thereby necessi-
tates the appointment of an elisor to
summons special venire of the
county
The present panel of talesmen was
exhausted today. With no jury as
yet finally chosen to try the case, a
new panel must be drawn or sum
moned before the proceedings go on.
Sheriff O'Neil. having been disquali-
for personal bias in favor of Ruef,
the state is not willing that Sheriff
O'Neil shall have the summoning Of
II new panel from the regular jury
list. Consequently Special Prosecu-
tor Johnson. shortly before today's
adjournment gave notice of a motion
of the disqualification of the sher-
III and the appointment of an elisor
to summon a special venire of 100.
This Is the anticipated move
against which the defense has been
silently contending and carefully
preparing for weeks Outside of the
court room Ruef's counsel made no
secret of their great desire 10 have q
new venire-when the time for II
should arrive-drawn from the reg
ular jury list. instead of specially
summoned, or of their strong objec-
ton to the veniremen being hailed
into court by ElisorBiggy or any
other elisor, instead of by he sheriff.
Judge Dunno himself recognized
the nicety of the point involved
when he said, in response to John
son S motion and 10 Aeh's emphatic
objection. that il was his purpose To
proceed in the orderly and usual
way" unless convinced that Justice
demands the summ0ning or a specIaf
venire. II is said that if The latter
course IS followed and an elisor ap-
pointed 10 summon The talesmcn
and hive charge ot the jury when II
has been selected the proceeding
will have the support Of recent de-
cisions To the effeel lhat Il sheriff
oanno lie disqualified from certain
of his rworn duties and allowed To
perform certain Of his other ma
tural functions in enc and the same
case In other words, that his dis
qualification by a court is complete
instead of partial as far as the case
on trial is concerned.
O'Neil, however was disqualified
by Judge Dunno on a motion by the
prosecution which covered custodal
duties cnly Hence Johnson VIII ask
for formal decentralization and
the formal re-appointment, il is un-
derstood Of BigSy as cisor.
