been sworn out for his arrest by P.
Henrietta of Belgrade township, and
when it was learned that Masterson
was in the city, the police went after
him.
Masterson went to the offices of
both the daily papers yesterday and
denied that he was dead, or that he
was the dead man found near. Brad

afterward, the police learned of his
whereabouts and the chief and Of

They saw him near the Milwaukee
tracks. Pat also saw the officers and
so he thought he would make it inter

and passed around George Monks

the trail. From there he headed up
toward Pleasant street and over to
o. Olsons residence, where he was
finally caught and jailed.
This morning Sheriff Olsen of
Nicollet county read to Pat the war

him then, were dismissed.

was placed in custody and when be-
ing brought to the court house, he
admitted that he was frightened out
of his wits by the fierce looks of
the large mob of people that gath
cred in and about the court house
during the trial. He thought he
would be lynched, and up until the
time that the negro confessed, he
felt very shaky in the gills.
At that time he was arrested for
having in his possession gun

thought that. he was the murderer
