BEHAN 10 SEE NIKE DAVIS
.Confessed Pal to Go to Marquette
Prison With Fire Marshal Keller.

Fire Marshal Charles Keller and
Martin Behan expect to leave for
Marquette. Mich, in q few days to
interview Mike Davis, who is said
to be q prisoner in the state prison.
Pinkerton detectives identified man
sent to prison from Flint, Mich, for
robbing q postofflce as the man want
ed in Minnesota in connection with
the northern Minnesota arson and
robbery cases. The man was sent to
prison from Flint Dec. 81. He gave
his name as James Callahan and
pleaded guilty to robbery. With him
was q man who gave the name Of
Frank Howard and who, Minnesota
authorities think. may be one of the
other men wanted in Minnesota. Fire
Marshal Keller had telegraphed the
Marquette prison asking for more de-
tails concerning the man said to be
Davis, but he says he believes there
was no doubt of the mans identity
and that he and Martin Behan, who
was captured at the time of the at
tempted Puposky robbery and who
confessed, will leave for Marquette
soon. It has been said that Assistant
Attorney General A. L. James also
would go to Marquette but Mr.. James,
while in Bemidji yesterday, denied
this report. i

Prayer In an East Indian Court.
The noon hour struck, tolled by the
rail gong at the treasury door, and in
q moment all things came to a stand
still. The Mohammedan lawyers, the
village Moslems lettering about the
court, even Mozuffer Khan with his
guardian policeman, all reverently
withdrew. A moment later they re-
appeared on the wide concrete yeranda
outside the window at my left. There
they laid down their prayer mats, and
standing first with devoutly bowed
heads and hands folded. they murmur-
ed the noon prayers of the prophets
religion; then knelt, still praying, and
made obeisance, prostrating them
selves before Allah the merciful, the
compassionate. The reverence Of their
devotion was perfect and wholly free
from the self conscious shamefaced-
ness that should have felt. supposing
that I, the magistrate, had suspended
court to pray there in public. Charles

The Russian Amsterdam.

St. Petersburg is one Of the few
great cities which have been made and
not born. During his residence in Hol.
land Peter the Great was so impressed
by Amsterdam, perched upon the wa.
tiers, that he determined to abandon
Moscow and build a new capital which
should have canals for streets. In his
campaign against Sweden in 1902 he
noted an island situated in the mid
stream Of the Neva. Here is my Rus,
sian Amsterdam he exclaimed and
Immediately began the building OF a
city there. The site was a marsh in
summer and a frozen morass in win
ter. Two miserable huts were the
only buildings. The erection Of the
citadel, great fort in the. shape Of a
'hexagon, with a tower 800 feet high,
on the north bank Of the Neva was his
first care. The cottage in which Peter
lived while laying out the city still
exists.

HILLS ENvELOPEO IN
UNPRECEDENTED COAT
OF ''BEAUTIFUL" SNOW
Not Since the Settlement of the
District Is Present Precipi-
tation Known.

Deadwood, S. D., Jan. 9.-The pass
ing winter, according to the statements
of such pioneers as United States
Marshal Seth Bullock, is the most Sc
we're SO far as the amount of snow
and continued cold weather are con-
cerned, within the memory of the white
man..
They state that there has never been
as much snow in the mountains at n
one time and that so prolonged a
stretch of cold weather as Is current
at the present time has never been ex-
perienced.
The one gratifying fact in onnec
ton with the situation is that noun
tain streams In which the stage or
water was very low will be ~replenished
when the snow melts and that various
mining Industries which depend upon
thai water for carrying on certain fea-
lures of their work, will not be COM
PEELED to shut down mills and other
surface plants.
In the canyon Of the Spearfish river
and in the anyon n gulches trfb-
utary thereto, snow to a depth of many
feet lies along the tracks and right
of way of the Burlington railroad n
the track has been cleared OF snow so
many times in the past month that
at certain points snow banks as high
as a freight car extend along the track
and the slightest breeze blows more
snow from the hills and mountains
into the space between the drifts
and within an hour the blockade OF the
track is complete.
Along the Northwestern line between
Tilford and Sturgis, north of Rapid
City. cuts which were filled with snow
early in the storm period are refilled
with the slightest wind and trains are
hauled by three locomotives In making
the journey from Rapid City to Dead
wood.
On the main line CT the Burlington,
east Of Chadron, similar condi-
tons prevail and the result is serious
interference with travel and train and
mail service.
Another redeeming feature of the
situation in the country west OF the
Missouri river In South Dakota and Ne
braska, Is that the vast amount OF
snow will moisten the earth so that
early planting OF small grain car be
done and there will be early grass,
which will mean the salvation Of a
large number OF cattle In the newly
opened homestead country and among
the ranches in Meade, Butte, Harding
and Stanley counties, wherein the set
tiers were severely dealt with by corn
failure last year.
Hope that when a thaw comes II will
be gradual in it's approach, is expressed
by the people living I'm the Hills. for
the reason that a sudden thaw would
overflow all the streams and cause q
vast amount of harm in the sweeping
away of bridges and other portable
property In the gulches and valleys.
The Burlington railway Is now trying
to get a rotary snow pillow through to
Spearfish, to which point no train has
penetrated for three days.

SAERIFFS' POSSES
SC0U2 FIELDS FOR
MURDERED FARMER
Bloody Cap Found On Premises
From Which Young Man
Disappears.

Centerville, S. D.. Jan. 9.--The
sheriff and several posses have been
securing the country yesterday and
today trying to find David Fahlberg,
q young farmer living six miles south
of this city, or his dead body, which, II
is believed, will be found under the
snow drifts. The search has been
without result.
Fahlberg was in town last Tuesday
evening till about 10 o'clock. The last
was seen OF him as he drove out of
town. He was living alone, and his
neighbors, noticing no light in the
house for several nights, went over
yesterday morning to see what was
wrong. They found a cap belonging
to the missing man outside the barn
door with blood on it and a hole in
the crown as though from a bullet.
A half-open jack knife was also found
near by. The mans hat, coat and
overshoes were found in the house n
the horses and stock were in a half
starved condition. The horses were
partially harnessed.
The supposition, from cIrcumstantial
evidence, is that Fahlberg was
awakened Tuesday night by a noise at
the barn, and went out party dressed
to discover the cause. He found a man
in the act of Harvesting his team n
In the action which ensued Fahlberg
received a bullet in the head. In ad-
dition to the bloody cap, blood and
matted hairs were found on the barn
door. 1t is supposed that he partially
regained his senses and wandered
away. What are now believed to have
been his track were followed next day
two miles by the mail carrier. The
thief skipped without the team
The missing man was to have been
