BROTHER OF MANN
WAS IN GREELEY
BELIEVES GEIGER INNOCENT
Horses in Denver Identified by the
Brother OF Dead Man.

In alleged confirmation OF the
theory that Jennie Miner Geiger, or
Smith, with the mysterious dwarf
with whom she travelled to Denver,
were engaged in a plot to murder
Volly Mann for the sake OF plunder,
the inpenetrable veil which has thus
far hidden the facts from the time
Mrs Geiger was deserted by her
husband in St. Louis till she point
ed out the body of Mann, is being
slowly raised In spite OF the fact
that Patrolman Nate Hunter of Dem
yer could not locate the brands on
the horses which the Smiths drove
into Denver, the brother Of Nolly
Mann. c. l.. Mann, arrived in Den
yer Monday and pointed out the
scars, showing the letters "B. X.
and the reversed "F." The letters
| were hidden under the hair, but
Mann found them in moments
time. Yesterday Chief of Police
Armstrong found coat and watch
which Smith had pawned there, and |
although Cecil Mann has not posi-
lively identified them as belonging
to his brother, it is believed that he
will be able to do so as soon as he
can communicate with his relatives
in Ration.
Monday Mrs. Smith was removed
to the county poor farm at Ogal-
ALA, where she will remain under a
strong guard. Report from Ogalalla
shows that Mrs. Smith is weakening
and it is believed that within the
course of the day she will admit the
truth. which she has thus far siren
uously kept a secret.
With the Identification of the
horses OF Volly Mann by his brother,
Cecil, evidence is gathering in
strong chain about Mrs. Smith and
her part in the murder. Several OF
the best known criminal lawyers in
the state OF Nebraska have gath
ared in Ogalalla to confer with Coun-
Y Attorney L. A. De Voc as to the
of Mrs Smith.
The third horse with which volly
Mann left Ration has been found on
'rolrs ranch. near Grant, and is
,randed "B. X" 1t has been identi-
led by Samuel Mann. second
'rother of Volly. who lived at Lara
ME, to whom Volly Mann was going
o visit when he was murdered. Mrs
mith is rapidly failing in health and
t is believed that she cannot hold
ut much longer, and a confession
5 expected any day by the author
lies of Ogalalla.
Mrs. Smith, or Geiger. as she
hould rightfully be called, in view
f the fact that Geiger is her lawful
usband, is believed either to be an
ccomplished prevaricator (she has
lready been proven to be a simple
or else is suffering from
! form of insanity which forces her
o assert things which she knows to
'e false. If the woman is sane, it
5 absolutely certain in the minds of
he police that she had more to do
With the Mann murder than to act
he part of a simple witness. Every
act which has been proved false is
gainst Mrs. Geiger. and told by her
o shield herself, it is said.
Samuel Mann of Laramie stopped
n Greeley Monday evening on his
'ay back from Ogalalla, where ne
Mrs. Geiger He made
inquiry here in regard to Frank
;eiger, and feels assured that he had
othing to do with the murder of his
rcther. He has located two of the
orses which were sold along the
Dad by Smith, and the purchasers
ave the same description OF Smith
S is given by Mrs. Geiger.

WOODEN MILLS FOR WEST
Plants Will Come 10 Denver Man Can
Bring Them--Appeals to the
President.

George ]. Kindel of Denver, Is going to
make wooden mills possible for the west. IL
the Interstate Commerce commission or the
railroads can be persuaded to adjust the
freight rates, according to those interested
in the wool market in Omaha.
Mr.. Kindel is a Denver manufacturer.
who has brought many cases before the
Interstate Commerce commission, with the
view to enabling the west to manufacture.
as well as produce.
In a letter. to President Roosevelt, Mr..
Kindel calls attention to the fact that II
costs more to send secured wool east than
II does to ship wooden goods west and says
that because of the discrimination In freight
rates the two wooden mills in Denver were
closed down. He ntimate that the same
fate awaits any mill which opens on the
Missouri river. unless the policy of the In
t~erstate Commission is changed.
THE states Of Colorado, New Mexico.
Wyoming, Utah. Idaho and Montana have
to their credit more than 00.00o.OOO pounds
of wool annually" says Mr.. Kindel. "why
should we not be allowed to manufacture
this in the west.
To-day the rate on 100 pounds of secured
wool from Colorado common points to the
Missouri river is S2.$, while the rate on
manufactured woolens from Missouri river
points to Colorado points, up hill 1000 feet,
is but s1.25. The rate on manufactured
woolens from Denver to Chicago is s.. 05
per hundred weight while the woelen man.
ufacturers west of Denver ship to Chicago
for 81 Is per hundred weight"
Having fought for an opportunity TO
| manufacture in the west Mr.. Kindel de-
clares his intention OF continuing and hopes
to make 1t possible to have the wool grown
n 49,. 49, - 49,.
first experience was in a mattress factory
in Denver. where he found that It cost him
more TO ship the hair stuffing for mat.

manufacturer to ship mattresses to any

Mr.. LINNEY FOR CANNON.

The anti-administration re-
publicans in North Carolina have
gained another valuable recruit
in the person of Mr.. Frank A.

of the thirteenth judicial dis
trict, and a son of ex-Congress-
man r. z. Linney. Like his
father, Solicitor Linney does not
hesitate to speak his mind.
whether the matter under dis
cussion be politics or any other
subject that is engaging the
public attention. Just now the
younger Linney is interested in
the movement having for its OBJ
ject the overthrow of the admin
istration forces in this state and
giving to Speaker Common North
Cardinals vote for the president
ial nomination. The Observer
correspondent induced Mr.. Lin
ney to get into action by asking
the question: Have you a choice
among the presidential candi-
dates?"
Certainly | have" replied
the solicitor of the thirteenth.
Il am for Joseph G. Cannon,
and | cannot understand how
any true North Carolinian can
oppose his nomination. He was
born in our state and has grown
so great in his adopted state
that all the nation has delighted
to honor hin. He has never been
called to any post of duty in
which he did not grow greater
by faithful discharge of every
duty both to his party and the
nation. Conservative in thought,
bold in action. he is pre-eminetly
the Abe Lincoln of modern re-
publican thought.
II believe his nomination
would be an instant panacea for
the present financial stringency.
| believe Uncle Joe's' armor is
panic proof. With his nominatson
would come a complete rcstora-
ton of public confidence and a re-
vival of business prosperity. His
messages and public utterances
could easily be trscec to the plat
form on which he was elected.
