Merchants are buying cautiously and
the safe side is being taken by busi-

unusually good and the feeling gen.
orally is that while all lines OF busi-
ness are being curtailed. conditions

of spring trade.

Two men suspected of having con-
mitted a couple of the worst crimes

many months are now under arresa
here and il the cases can be fastened
upon them, as now seems inevitahL1.
Sheriff Taylor and Chief OF Police
Gurdane will be entitled to much
credit for the captures.
The crimes for which the meE
were arrested was the brutal robbery
Of C. E. Hedger, manager of the Co
lumbia theater in Spokane, on TIA
night of January %. Hedger WzE
held up on the streets of SpokaBAs
and failing to secure any money FROM
him the thugs knocked him down ana
pried a gold bridge from his teeth
Being such an unusual crime it a.
tracted much attention and the Pc
lice Of Spokane have been strivinr
hard to catch the guilty parties
Winsiow Bought Gold.
Two days ago a stranger enterts
the Winslow Bros. jewelry store aBA
offered for sale gold plate that had
plainly been used in set of teeth
The bridge was purchased by Glenn
Winslow, who had heard of the Spe-
kane crime and Immediately notifed
Sheriff Taylor on the incident. Short
ly afterwards in company with &~S-
shall Gurdane the sheriff located TIA
fellow and placed him under arred
The other man under arrest was taS-
en- in because he had frequently oesn
seen in company with the otheEs
thereby causing suspicion to fall ID
on him also.
After making the arrest Sheriff
Taylor notified the Spokane chief o.
police and asked for further faen
regarding the case. In reply a dt3-
gram and description of the stolen
bridge was sent him. The bridge pVF@
chased by the Winslows is identle2a
with one described. The piece cor
ers four teeth, there being a crows
at each and with two dummy teen
between.
The fact that the teeth were sole
by the man under arrest MAKER
strong evidence against him and If
can be strengthened by Hedgers ideH-
tification the case will be complete

Sheriff Taylor is also working io

men and from a local standpoint II z
a more important one than the SPY

to be the same who held up ana
robbed E. E. Ripper in his store n

they forced Ripper to hand them cut

the sheriff secured good descriptions

and is delivering some blows which
are sure to be felt in Erie county and
Northern Ohio.
No one is better qualified to judge
Of the Columbus convention than
Mr.. Mack. For years he has been
one of the moving spirits in Republic
can politics and has become very ia
miliar with the ropes. Since the
convention, he has been dealing some
very stinging blows through the col
umns of his paper, and the fact that
no other editor has challenged his
statements is pretty good evidence
that they are reaching home.
The following extracts taken from
the columns OF the Register will
serve to show that, along with the
Toledo Blade, the Register is not
blind TO what is going on in Ohio
I'Republican politics.
Mr.. Mack says:
''George b. Cox was the chairman
of the Hamilton county delegation
which had ninety-six votes, one-ninth
Iof all the votes in the convention,
Charles p. Taft, the brother of Will
liam H. Taft, offered the resolution
making Cox chairman, and in return
Cox introduced resolution before

that convention with more honors on

itlon of Green for state treasurer, Of
Denman for attorney general, of
IShauck Tor reelection TO the supreme
bench, of Fullington for state aud
itor and of Kirtly and Baldwin for
members of the board of public
works and zelIer for state school
commissioner, than any other one
man in the convention Those are
the unvarnished facts.
IF Cox had desired the nomination
of Eagleson he could have made
him the leader in the race on the
first ballot by giving him the solid
vote Of Hamilton county and no man
can predict what the result would
have been If Eagleson had led Tread
way twenty-five or thirty votes on
