HEGEMAN IS NOW FREE.
Lifc Insurance Tar Is Discharged
from Custody.

hfG Insurance Man Is Discharged
from Custody.
John n. Hegeman, president OF the
Metropolitan Life Insurance company,
who was arrested last February on the
charge of perjury in connection with
the report OF state insurance depart
mont, was discharged from custody
Friday at New York.
Hegeman wear his hair long and
his face resembles that of the tradi-
tional pictures OF William Penn. In
the Insurance examinations, while Mr..
HeseIlaIl was on the stand, a friend
OF Mr.. Hughes leaned forward and
said in a low tone to tho counsel for
the committee: That is the face Of
a saint
Mr.. Hughes replied softly. But
no saint was ever as holy as Mr.. Hege-
man looks"
MI. Hegeman's influence with New
York bankers was great. It was shown
In the insurance trials that he could
borrow money at AZ per cent and re-
receive a 8 per cent rebate. At times
his personal account amounted to
$500. 900.

HEAVY DEMAND FOR FUNDS.
State Institutions Will Press Hard o
Treasury. -

Treasury. -. 4
Deep disappointment is coming for
the heads OF the state institutions at
the coming legislative session. Their
aggregate demands upon the state
treasury will be for 100000 for new
buildings at the different institutions.
In the last campaign the heavy ap-
preparations of the last session were
defended on the ground that 1T was
necessary t. provide new buildings for
the many state institutions, and that
they had now been fitted out with
buildings which would meet their de-
mands for several years. But the
heads of the institutions think differ
emily. They want more, and want them
now. The state university thinks it
could get along for two years more if
it were given s345,000 for tina pur-
pose; the agricultural college at
Brookings will be satisfied with $le5,-
900. and the asylum for the feeble
minded at Redfeld wants $4,000
more. The rest OF them are willing to
get along with from 100000 down to
mailer sums.

and Rifles Safe.

With an old time ruse a trio of
smartly dressed m apparently fash
ionable people succeeded in robbing in

goods store of /. H. Chase, one OF the
largest in Deadwood. The three en-
tered the store and asked to see some

two men and aEwoman stylishly gown
ed. While two of them attracted the
attention of some clerks. the third
slipped back to the safe, pried open
the cash drawer and extracted $50, all
there was at the time. Then tibet hree
disappeared. Detectives traced them
to the Franklin hotel where, as Mr..
and Mrs. Lange of Detroit, one of the
mel and a woman had occupied an
expensive suite from which they had
stolen a number Of articles. Later the
pair was discovered in the Pullman of

WITHOUT POLICE FORCE.
Novel Situation Exists in the Town OF
Miller.

MllICr.
From a chief of police and three
deputies Miller now has not a single
officer to keep the peace. The discov-
cry was made when two young men
were tried before Justice Heltibridle
for resisting an officer. They Went
through one trial, the jury disagree
ing, and had started on their second
when they were dismissed because ii
was found that the officer whom they
were charged with resisting a never
been legally qualified as such, and it
was supposed by ever the mayor and
lawyers up to this time that he was a
qualified officer. When the case
against the boys was dismissed the
deputy policemen resigned. In the
absence of any police authority the
mayor has requested h sheriff of the
county to keep a lookout for any dis
turbance that may arise until a new
marshall or chief of police may be app
pointed. This cannot be done for sew
eraf days, and it may be some weeks.

FIRE AT SPEARvILLE
Bad Blaze There Destroyed Five
Buildings Tuesday Night.

A fire started 10 the business portion of
Spearville on Tuesday night and swept
away five places of business. 1t was a
narrow escape for much more Of the
town, as the fire was only stopped by
favorable conditions, at point each way
where 1t came in contact with brick or
concrete walls.
The fire started at about midnight at
the rear Of the Jcwett 81 Stonehouse
store, completely destroying the store
and stock and spreading to the buildings
on each side.
Before the flames were stopped the
Caldwell &c West drug store was burned
Myer Lawrence's billiard hall, jonathan
Scott's real estate office and the tailor
shop of Joe Wilberding. Besides this
almost total loss, the roof was burned on
one of the buildings of Edward &
Nichols, and one of the concrete walls
badly damaged. There was no wind at
the time and by heroic efforts the fire
was stopped at this point, saving very
large loss as the Edwards & Nichols
business Is a big one, In the other
direction the fire burned to the bri k wall
OF the Spearvllle State Bank which was
to have been opened for business this
week. The wall was damaged some
what so as topostpone the opening Of the
bank for short time, but the fire was
stopped here just in time to save another
large loss.
The part Of the town burned was all
frame buildings. The greater portion OF
the stocks In the stores were lost. The
estimated loss as reported here was about
10000, and on the buildings and stocks
thereiwas $500 insurance carried, ac-
cording to the report received at Dodge
City.
1t is believed that the fire was started
by two men who were taken to be
tramps. There was evidence that the
store where the fire started had been
broken into, and 1t IL said that two men
were seen running from the rear Of the
store, before the fire was discovered.
No clue to the whereabouts or the
identity of the men has been found.
1t is reported here today that busi-
ness block at Belpre was burned last
night, but no particulars Of the fire have
been learned.

DEVELOPMENT COMPANY.
Now Has fund on Hand for Backing
Public Enterprises for Dodge
Citv,


The Dodge City Development COM
pany organized last year for the purpose
Of creating public fund for town enter
prises, held its sale Of lots Monday, Mr..
Sughrue, member Of the company, act
Ing as the auctioneer, with excellent
success. Different citizens had given
their equity In lots over the city to the
company. The titles have been cleared
70 the lots and the Monday sale was the
first general sale held.
The profits of the company up to this
time amount between $500 and $l40O
and this money 10 In the treasury to be
devoted to some plan for helping the
town. The members Of the company
began operations with fund furnished
by themselves. Their plan was to use
their own money and to receive per
cent interest on IL. When the profits
amounted to enough they were to draw
out the money they put In. There is
enough now to pay back the original
cost and still have over $500. left.
The movement began among members
OF the commercial club but was kept
seperate from the club, while working ia
the same line In the interest Of the
own.
