A Former Suspect.

Callahan. whom we had had occa-
sion to arrest along with Cap. Mann
and Stanley a few days previously fol
plotting to rescue George M!Zer, was
now, TO my surprise, cooperating with
the vigilants
1T came about in this way: During
the trials OF Edwards and Gillett the
prisoners had heard that Callahan had
shown such marked sympathy for the
robber gang that he had caused some
to suspect him of being member OF
the fraternity Thinking to tighten the
drowning man catching at straws. the
culprits had attempted in their testi-
mony to implicate Callahan. This so
angered Callahan, who was undoubt-
edly innocent of any completely in their
crimes, that his former sympathy was
now turned into bitterest hatred of
these outlaws, and in retaliation and TO
convince the committee that he had
really no connection with the gang, he
had solicited and obtained the privilege
Of adjusting the ropes around the necks
of the doomed villains and helping to
hoist them off.
In justice to Callahan, Cap. Mann
and Stanley l will say that we after
wards became satisfied that it was only
thru mistaken sympathy for the out
laws that they had taken such an active
interest in their defense. They could
not believe that these lawless men
some of whom had been their neigh
bors for some months-were guilty of
the crimes that we had plainly proven
on them. And even if they We're, they

1t was also learned that the cattle
had be kept over night in passing at
the claim of one Lee, on Brush Creek,
several miles northwest of Baxter
Springs. 1t was afterwards remem-
bered that this Lee answered the de-
scription of one of the strange men
who had hired to the murdered men,
and also one of the TWO who had sold
the cattle in Crawford County.
He was a heavy-set, red-faced man
of about 35, with red hair and red mus
tache, of pleasant appearance, with
whom I was slightly acquainted, having
met him several times in Baxter.
AS no clews developed beyond where
the cattle were sold, our sleuths turned
back, and, making inquiries among
Lees neighbors, who were few and
scattering, found that he had been
away from his place for several days
before and after the time at which the
double murder was supposed to have
been committed. A neighbor had no
ticed that the little herd of cattle had
come 10 Lees place one evening,
stopped there till morning and then
moved on; but this nearest neighbor,
living at some distance had not noticed
who was driving them. A day or so
later Lee was at home again.
Circumstances began to point strong
~ to Lee as one of the murderers, but
who his partner could have been our
men were unable to determine, for
there had been no other man seen about
his place or in his company that would
ill the bill, Lee and his wife, coarse,
notwithstanding woman, being the
only occupants of the claim. They had
no children and no known relatives,
and held but little intercourse with
their neighbors.

have an elegant residence, for the
transfer of which $500 would be no
object
One instance has come to our atten-
ton where certain party in Pennsyl-
vania wrote to two friends in st. Cloud,
requesting each of them to give an
opinion as to the relative value of his
allOtments, which comprised two town
lots and o acres of land; cost $500. One
friend reported the land worthless and
the 10 acres far from town instead Of
close TO town. The second friend gave
the correct location of lots and plots.
Undecided which opinion to believe,
| this party sold the second friend his
lots at cost price He sold the 10 acres
for $50, and will probably sell the two
town lots for not less than $1,000, at
which price lots in the same block are
now selling.
A subscriber from Pennsylvania ar
rived in St Cloud last September, and
found his five-acre tract partially wet.
Instead of requesting an exchange,
which claim when reasonable was al
ways recognized by the company, our
friend was dissatisfied. and requested a
refund of his subscription. A bystand-
er promptly handed him a check for
500. The purchaser sold the town lot
| for cost price on the subscription, 500.
He has several times rejected $3.50 for
| the original five-acre tract.
A veteran luckily subscribed to the
very first allotment, and $50 gave him
! a town lot ard five acres of land. He
preferred his town lot and sold his five
| acre tract, receiving therefor the sum
of $500 in cash, not a bad showing for
ban investment of $50. This comrade
| still lives in st. Cloud and is accumu-
| lating monev.
A Massachusetts, veteran with an eye
| to business purchased a town lot and
| ive-acre tract for $50, as he was also
| in the initial allotment. He has sold
| parts of his five-acre tract for $1,000
and has approximately half left. He
| has also built a substantial house on his
town lot.
We quote these cases to show that
| the increase in value of property in st.
/ Cloud has not been confined simply to
| the town lots.

How Real Estate Values Have In
creascd-StTfking Illustrations OF the
Growth Of Values Within Year and
Half.
There were many investors in the
early days of st. Cloud, and especially
the first thousand subscribers, who have
made remarkably successful sales OF
real estate during the past few months
In many other instances prospective
buyers have made offers for lots al
large advances. which have been de-
clined by the holders.
ESPECIALLY has this been the case IN
some localities. On New York avenue
a recent sale was effected of two lots
with eight-room house, which probably
cost the owner $1,000 or at the outside
$1,000, for upwards of s2,5OO, while
the owners realized good profits during
their occupancy by renting furnished
rooms to newcomers.
/ On Connecticut avenue a party
bought two lots for $500. He person
allv constructed his own building last
Winter, the material for which cost him
S246, making his total investment S446.
A recent sale shows this property dis
posed of for 81 500 cash. These folks
were certainly glad they found st.
Cloud.
Another instance: A veteran came
to st. Cloud in October, 1909, and at the
start was very much inclined to be dis
couraged. He was, however, induced TO
put a small building on his lot, which
he disposed of within a month for over
double his investment. This man has
since built four houses, and has sold
each one as fast as constructed. To-day
he finds himself with a comfortable
balance carefully slowed away in the
First National Bank of st. Cloud, and
he is still reinvesting. This man you
could not drive away from st. Cloud.
A New England veteran purchased
two lots in the first issue. These cost
$1O0. He and his family individually
built residence on these lots, mean
while enjoying the lovely Florida cli-
mate. On arrival at st. Cloud these
persons We're in poor health. To-day
they are strong and healthy, and they

irving among the cattle herds in the
Nation had purchased a small bunch
of about 80 head of cattle: had then
started back with their little herd to
their claim up in the Neutral Lands.
Both of them had taken the ague,
which was prevalent thruout that
country, and they had been inquiring
their cattle. They had no wagon, but
had q riding pony each and a pack
pony to carry their grub and blankets.
Two strange men from Kansas had
come down the road looking for en-
ployment, and had been hired by the
young men, who were by this time COM
pleteIy knocked out with chills and
fever. The new men were mounted,
furnishing their own horses, which had
harness marks on them and looked like
farm horses.
The cattlemen who gave this inform
alton had seen and talked to the young
men several times on the road, identi-
fed the bodies and gave good descrip-
ton of the two strange men whom
the murdered men had hired TO help
take the drove up to their claim, which
they had said was northwest of Baxter
Springs.
Trailing the Stolen Stock.
From the camp on Rock Creek
where the bodies were found the little
herd of cattle was trailed up north
into the Neutral Lands, and We're final
ly found where they had been sold to
some parties in the edge of Crawford
County. From the men who had bought
the cattle a further description was
obtained of the two men who had driv-
en- them into that neighborhood and
sold them.
