the son has a contract to buy II. and
has made some payments. When he
went to get the gun To shoot hawk,
he discovered its less. Then he

, there Is second wall back Of this,
and a space between the two. Sher-
| in Osten and Chief Klugherz thought
that the can might have been rolled
by rats over the wall. but Mr.. Wei
gelt was sure that IL had not been.
The officers had no other light. 81
they set fire to some shavings and
held them in where they could see a
little. but could not tell from that. II
would be necessary to remove some
stones from the wall i'm order to find
out definitely.
Several people knew that Weigelt

1.-TWO people who worked there recent
~ are said to have learned the fact
Outside Of these. one neighbor knew
of II. as Weigelt had told him. This
neighbor bears a good reputation, but
the officers interviewed him and
brought Welgelt face to face with
him. Weigelt accused him of having
instigated him to take his money out
! of the bank, but the neighbor denied
this.
weigelt drew $500 from the Man
kato bank and added 5000 that he had
on hand, and put the s7O0 in the tin
can. Whether the mystery of what
became of the money is ever solved
is question that time alone can de-
termine. The house is left alone a
good deal and there is an outside eel

anyone to get I'm.

DOWN 8-H0UR DAY
Pres't GOmpers Says Socialist Party
is Behind Move to Win
Support.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. "a. -
Power is gravitating from the ballot
box to the industrial field" declared
Pres't Samuel Gompers of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, in a speech
just before the 35th convention of
that organization closed today. Il
will not trust the fate of labor to
politics. / want congress to give us
only our freedom TO fight out on an
economic basis our battles"
Mr.. Gompers charged that the So
cialist party is behind the attempt
to force the federation to indorse the
proposed eight hour legislation.
A resolution endorsing legislative
methods in obtaining a universal
eight hour law was defeated by a
vote of S,4S6 to 1896. The conven-
ton went on record in favor of econ
omic pressure only TO obtain shorter
hours.
The closing session was marked by
a bitter debate between Pres't Com
pers and John Fitzpatrick. president
of the Illinois State Federation of
Labor.
