THE CURRENCY IS FOUND

Omaha. Neb.. June Six little 30
hemian boys, the oldest OF who ms
only IA. and their school teacher, Miss
Elizabeth Hayes, of South Omaha,
whose cunning detective work resulted
in the capture of three of the men
accused Of holding up and robbing the
Overland Limited train on The Union
Pacific road near Omaha last Satur-
day night, a week ago, will get most
of the $50. 900 offered in rewards.
1t is a double barreled story OF
which one of the two chapters sounds
as If it might have been extracted
from a Daredevil Dick detective yarn
The other chapter is a story of sudden
wealth that sounds almost too much
like a fairy tale to be true of a May
day adventure in 1909.
The Union Pacific railroad offered
5000 for the capture and the United
States government $4,000. 1t is on
sidered certain the men are the same
who held up the Great Northern eX-
press at billiard, Wash. May is. The
Great Northern offered a $4,000 re-
ward for these men and the govern
ment offered $4,000. The total price
hanging over the Omaha trio's heads
therefore, was 100000.
Evidence which clearly fastens tn
robbery of the Union Pacific Over

arrest in Omaha came to light here

OF MufGef or Girl
a jury will be secured much before
the close of the week, or the COM
mencement of the week following, due
to the widespread publicity given the
case.
Previous to her first trial, and since
that time, Mrs. Kaufman has been
at liberty on bonds of $4,000, which
We're furnished by Sioux Falls friends
of her husband.
For several weeks after her. con-
.viction Mrs. Kaufman remained with
friends at ~Flandreau. when she re-
turned to her home in Sioux Falls,
where she and her husband have beer
living very quietly.
Agnes Polreis, the girl Whom Mrs.
kaufinann is charged with having
bounded to her death. died in a Sioux
Falls hospital on June /, 1906. On
II following, Mrs. Kaufman was
arrested on the charge of murder.
Thus far the case has left a line of
calamaties in its wake. Mrs. Polreis,
mother of Agnes, has become perma-
nently deranged mentally because of
the tragic death of her daughter.
Moses Kaufman, husband of the de-
PENDANT, has suffered a ervous col
lapse. A former Iowa attorney, who
was special prosecutor at the first
trial of Mrs. Kaufman. has been
disbarred from practicing law. in South
Dakota. The case also has PLAYED an
important part in the politics of this
portion of the state and has caused
the defeat of men of state wide repu-
tation.
That the new trial will be hotly
contested at every point goes withou,
saying. Behind Mrs. Kaufman will
be the lo.al support of her husband
/ and the services of some of the lead.
ing criminal lawyers of the North.
west.
Behind the prosecution will be thu
sympathy of that great body of tn.
middle and lower classes.

REWARD OF 100000 TO
BOYS FINDING ROBBERS

when currency found on the persons OF
the robbers was found to correspond
with mutilated currency being sent
from a Wyoming bank to the United
States treasury at Washington for re-
demption.
We're relieved Of all cash. Among this
was SS4 in mutilated currency. In sort
ing over mail recovered from the coach
and which a been opened and the
contents taken, the inspectors found
a list of this currency with a letter
inclosed saying the bills were sent in
for redemption.
The numbers quoted correspondent
with the numbers on the bills in
possession of the robbers.
An important piece Of evidence is g.
postcard photograph found III a grip
of one of the bandits, depicting the trio,
in an automobile together with a hand
some woman. The picture bore the,
mark of d Denver photographer. When
arrested and before the trio could con-.
fer together each asserted to the po-
lice that he was not acquainted with,
either of the other two prisoners. The,
| story of zach differed radically from,
the others tales of their past doings.-
In addition to the currency, other
evidence against the men under arrest
is as follows: Arrested at the cache;
positively identified by the engineer
and fireman of the robbed rain; iden-
tilted by boys as seen around school
building time after time; mail sacks
found in the school building: candle

left for Custer county to endeavor to
find a location for the sanitarium for
tuberculosis patients for which the last
legislature appropriated $4,000. AS the
sum is all too small ever for the erec-

is confronted with the task of finding
some one who will donate 100 acres for
the home. The location is considered
an excellent one, because Of the mild
