TOUGH LOT LODGED
SAFELY IN BASTILE
New Story In Connection With
Blue Earth Thieves
TALES TOLD THE SHERIFF
Had Robbed Store at InnWood,
Neb., Not Much Loot
Located

Blue Earth, May S0.-The Post
prints this story:
There are new developments regard
ing at least one of the three silk
thieves captured by the Faribault
county authorities and now doing
time at saltwater. And it is all due to
q scrap of paper found on the person
of Joe Costello by County Attorney
Frundt. That scrap of paper was a re-
ceipt for a ten dollar postal money or
der sent from Blair, Neb., May 10th,
made payable to Grace Richardson, at
Yankton, IS. d. The finding of this re-
oeipt put our authorities in touch with
the postmaster and chief of police at
Yankton. About this time a store at
1nwood, Iowa, was robbed of it's silk
supply and the sheriff from Rock Rap
ids, came here in hope Of finding
some, clue. In the meantime letters
had passed between County Attorney
Frundt and Yankton's chief of police,
who had learned that Mrs. Richardson,
had been engaged in selling silks to
different ladies in that town, and the
Rock Rapids sheriff declared himself
the man to swear out a search warrant.
That this was done, The Associated
Press Dispatch Of Friday morning last
contained this bit of news:
Yankton, SD, May 24.-Quantities of
silk were found in the home of
Gerard Sunninghaus in a raid by the
police, and members of the family
stated they had<received it from Otto
Richardson, now in a hospital at Blue
Earth, Mimi, where he was shot while
resisting arrest. Richardson's wife
lived in the Sunninghaus home.
Sheriff Freer tells The Post that
Costello-and that isn't his name by a
mile-talked more freely during his
trip to Saltwater. They, he did not
say who "they" were-burned the road
in a cross country tour to Portland at
one time. "They" did not believe
they" were being followed, and were
considerably surprised one evening
just as '.they' were retiring, to find
that officers were at the door. He told
how "they" jumped from the window
to the story below and made their es-
cap He also informed Sheriff Freer
that had he been of the two who
escaped the night he was shot in Blue
Earth, that the sheriff would have been
spared this trip to Saltwater; that he
could travel much better by night
than by day any time.
Be that as it may, Frundt and Freer
have put a bad lot behind the bars for
a time, at least.
At last accounts the money order
forwarded from Blair, Neb., to his wife
at Yankton. had not been cashed at
that office.
County Attorney Frundt is in re-
ceipt of a letter from the Rock Rapids
sheriff under date Of Saturday, that
the net results of the search Of the
premises at Yankton' was the recovery
Of only about SIS out Of the $500
worth Of silks stolen from the store at
Inwood, and that amount constituted
the entire stock found about the
premises.

KEEPING AN EYE ON EN-
Men Who Opposed Draft Are Being
Carefully Watched.


Carefully Matched.
IUni.ed Press Dispatch 4
New Yorf, May 30.-Hundreds OF
persons of New York, who are OPP
posed to the raising of an army by
CONSUMPTION, are being carefully shad-
owed by government detectives.
Among these is the famous Emma
Goldman. Troops are ready to quell any
anti conscription riots.
A pacifist convention has been called
to be held on the night of June 4, the
evening before the registration day, at
Madison Square garden. President
Samuel Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor way invited to attend
this meeting, but he declined, as he
did not consider the purpose a loyal
one. 1t is understood that 1. w. W.
and other agitators against the pres,-
system of regulating things in gene
are planning to attend that meeti
and make themselves heard.
1t is remarkable that such a meet
ing should be planned in the face
the strict orders by Attorney Geners
Gregory that nothing should be don
to interfere in any way with an.
part of the governments ~conscriptior
program, and it would occasion nc
surprise if federal detectives should
raid the gathering.
Emma Goldman Is understood to
have been sending out letters by the
hundred in her work against the regis
Itration, and it is said that she has the
names of five to ten thousand youths o.
New York, who are pledged to refuse
to register at all.
Those who have called the meeting
at Madison Square Garden call it 9Th
first American conference for democ'
racy in terms Of peace"

HANDS HAcKtO MADE
USELESS FOR FIGHTING
Story Told of Canadian Soldier
MutiIated BY Order of
German Officer !.

Andy Olson, First Minnesota Field
artillery recruit, while in Minneapo-
lis with the Hutchinson recruits /
happened onto something the other
home boys did not see and that made
my blood boil, says The Hutchinson
Leaer. After serving on the border,
Jack Maloney, a Minnesota guards
man, received an honorable discharge
and went straight to Canada and en-
listed and was sent to France. While
on duty he was captured by a party of
German soldiers OF a flying hike, and
they had no time to take him to the
|rear. But they didn't propose to let
Jack do any more fighting. An Of
ficer ordered a soldier to take a
sabre and whack off his thumbs and
all but two small fingers on, both
hands, and then they left min to
bleed to death, which he nearly did
before reaching his W lines. AS he
held up his mutilated hands and told
his story to his old friends there in
Minneapolis, the tears rolled down his
cheeks. He left Minnesota a perfect
|specimen of physical manhood and is
now a wreck, his life blighted. Does
this make me want TO stay out of
the war game? No. 1t makes me want
to get in fright into the thick of it.
EThey can't order me to Europe too
soon. / want a chance to help punish
