TO look at the matter - after the

an issue with the insurgents IL is be-
cause they realize 1t is a dead one,

much consolation out OF the defeat OF
reciprocity. II is the only thing they
succeeded IN passing--and they have
from the outset taken full credit for
it-during the extraordinary session

BANDIT HERE
Young Appeared Before Judge
Roberts Today
BOND PLACED At $4,000
SAYS THAT he ONLY ASSISTED
IN THE HoLD-uP WORK AND
THAT HE SECURED JUST st2s
/. AS HIS SHARE OF THE LOOT
ARRIVED HERE THIS MORNING,

Sheriff Boyle OF Cass county, accom-
panied by Special OFFICER Callahan
Of the Northern Pacific, arrived in the
city this morning on No. OF the N. p.
having in custody John Young, con-
fessed train robber who claims to have
been one Of the trio which held up the
North Coast limited Just west OF Far
go the night Of July 10.
Young was taken before Judge Rob-
erts this morning and his case con-
tinued until tomorrow afternoon at
2 o'clock. A warrant for his arrest
had already been made by States
Attorney Fowler and Sheriff Boyle had
the document in his possession when
he went to st. Paul Saturday night.
For boarding the train and assist
ing in the hold-up of the limited
Young says that he received but $I2g.
The 1ewelry and other money taken
from the train was kept by the other
two bandits, whom Young says that
he has not seen since he parted COM
pany with them shortly after the hold
up.
Young stated that he met two men.
apparently hoboes, at Browns Valley
and they asked him to assist them IN
the hold-up OF the train. They had
already planned the affair and the
trio went to Valley City where they
remained for several days, before max
Ing their attempt to rob the train.
Young says that he was one of the
men who went over the tender OF the
engine and had the fight with the
fireman and engineer. He Is unable
70 state whether he or his companion
was the man that shot the engineer In
the fight that followed.
After the robbery they made their
way into a nearby field, where they
remained and divided the booty. Later
and not many days after the hold-up
Young came to Fargo and remained
here some time.
Since leaving 81. Paul, where he
made confession of the affair. Youns
has been very silent and refused. 70
talk. The sheriff has allowed no one
to see him, and the only persons that
have been permitted to gain a glance
az his person were those who saw the
confessed bandit when he was taken
from the Jail to Judge Roberts court
and back again.
Tnere Is stu some speculation In
the minds OF a number OF local OFF,
GERS, regarding Young being the right
man. His actions are such, that have
led to believe that there Is a possini.
lily that he has made a mistake. He
has no evidence on his person to show
that he committed the deed and his
story Is ell that the officers have on
which to reply.
Young Is awaiting his hearing in
jail under a bond OF $4,000.

mass OF fire and smoke and soon, all
most demolished by terrific detona-
lions, sank to the bottom OF Toulon
harbor
AT an early hour unof1icial estimates
OF the number of dead ran az high
as 500. Estimates by naval men var

that the loss Of life was more than

drowned before the boats from other
ships in the roadstead could reach
them.
Two hundred Of the crew escaped
death owing to the fact that they were
on shore leave.
Carnage Was Fearful.
The carnage in the explosions was
worse than could ever have occurred
in an actual naval engagement. The
first crash came when the crew was
for the most part dispersed in various
sections of the vessel. They were
without warning of their danger.
Scores OF bodies were hurled high

and about 100 men from other war
ships which had been sent to help ex-

DENIES THE

AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct EX-SENATOR
Stephen B. Fleming. of Fort Wayne.
says the story that he and Tom Tag
CART have agreed on Samuel NJ. Ralston,
of Lebanon. for the Democratic nomi
nation for Governor is absolutely false
He said yesterday that there was not
the slightest foundation for such a
story.
II have not seen Taggart since I was
at French Lick a few weeks ago for

the truth when / say that Mr.. Taggart

governorship is concerned I do not
stand anywhere. But L want to deny
that there has been any combine be-
tween Taggart and myself on Ralston.
But it is said that this agreement
between you and Tagart was made at a
conference held in this city since the
French Lick conference" Mr.. Fleming
was told.

ference at French Lick. have been in
New York for three weeks and could
not have seen Taggart"
Fleming was on his way to Chicago
when he said this, and he hurried for
train p
Whether the news that Fleming and
Taggart have not formed a combination
for Ralston will be good or bad for
Ralston remains TO be seen 1t is true
that a combine of that kind would
probably ALLEVIATE a good many voters
from Ralston. because they do not like
this thing of bosses getting together
and framing up a set of nominations.
On the other hand. If Fleming were 70
form a combine with Taggart he could
certainly take with him good many
votes. that will not be for him unless
Fleming is for him. So it is difficult
to tell just what the effect of this state
ment of Fleming will be.
| The name of Congressman Adair is
again looming up as candidate for the
nomination for Governor. Some of the
! politicians are saying that Ralston can
not win, because there is too much OPP
position to him among the younger
element OF the party. and because Q:

not hope to land the nomination, be
cause the labor leaders opposed &c
\ him, and are declaring that any politi-
clan who is not with them is agains

according to these men. will be USED

They say, too. that the affairs of the
