A CAREER OF CRIME Throe Chicago Murderers Cap tured iu Indiana. Before SorrrndFrlnz, the Youthful ■(audits Midi I'uii Detectives h lid Murdered a It rak email They ConfcM .Many Other Tlur <lrr» and Hiibbrrlc^ Chicago, IXOv. 28. —Chained wrist to wrist, their hair matted with dried blood, their clothing covered with dust and dirt—two beardless boys, IVter Xiedermier and Harvey Van Dine sat last night in the presence of ■Mayor Harrison and Chief of Police O'Neil, calmly confessing to their share in a three months' career of crime which has included eight mur ders, the wounding of live other men and u ions' series of robberies. The two young bandits, neither of whom is over 21 years of age, together with : their companion, Emii Koeski, who is | no older, were captured Friday near [Liverpool, Intl., after a fight in which j they battled against policemen, rail- 1 road detectives, railroad laborers and ! farmers. One man was killed, an- | other fatally wounded and all three . of the young bandits were wounded, but not seriously. The dead—T. .1. Sovea, brakeman on the Pennsylvania railroad. Wounded —Joseph Driscoll, detec tive on Chicago police force; shot through abdomen and can live but a short time. Matthew Zimmer, detective on Chi- J cago police force; shot in head and arm. Xiedermier was wounded in the "hand by birdsliot. Van Dine was simi larly injured, and sustained in addi tion a flesh wound in the left thigh. Uoeski was shot in the right hip. The three men were wanted by the police for complicity in the murders att the car barns of the Chicago City Railroad Co. on August .'lO when two men were killed, a third badly wound ed and $2,250 stolen from the com pany. Gustave Marx, who last Satur day night murdered Officer John Quinn when the policeman endeavor ed to place him under arrest, con fessed after his capture that he, in company with the three men, had ■committed the crimes at the ear barns. The hunt for Van Dine, Nei- j dermier and Koeski has been hot , ever since. Oil Wednesday they left Chicago, I ffoing to a dugout made by railroad \ laborers near the tracks of the Mich- I Igan Central railroad near Millers, ; Jnd. Thursday night they spent in j another dugout near Millers Sta- i lion, Ind., ami there they were sur prised by the police Friday morn ing. Word was brought to the police Thursday night by T. S. Reichers, a j school teacher near Clark Station, ! Ind., that three men answering the i description of those wanted for the i car barn murders were living ill the i •dugout. Other stories Thursday night j placed the men near Waukegan. 111., j and the police placing no reliance in ! any of the rumors, sent only eight men, Detectives Zimmer, De Roche, -Qualey, (Jleason, Sheehan, Driscol, Jiaumer and Hughes, to Indiana. The men reached the dugout at about s o'clock, guided by Reichers, "Don't anybody fire," ordered ] Sheehan, "until we know if they are the right people." As Sheehan spoke Driscoll picked I up a chunk of wood and hurled it at j the dugout. Instantly there was a flash, a report, and Driscoll fell in a heap, shot through the abodinen. One of his fellow officers stooped to raise him and the other six opened tire on the dugout, from which the shots were now coming fast. While the fire was at its hottest Van Dine and Koeski rushed out, followed a few minutes later by Xeiderineir. The later ran to the tracks of the Michigan Central and, throwing him self Hat on the roadbed, steadied his arm on the rail as he kept up a rapid fire with three revolvers. Koeski ran for the brush, but Van Dine retreat ed slowly, although the air around him was tilled with bullets, and the snow at his feet was kicked up by tliem. lie is a splendid marksman and. catching sight of Detective Zimmer, who was behind a tree, he fired. Zimmer went down with a bul let in the head. J\ s he fell Van Dine fired again again and the second bul let tore through Ziminer's arm. Koeski had by this time disappear ed and Van Dine and Xeidermier made a run for freedom. The detec tives fired constantly, but the ban dits escaped. After running about a mile across country they came to the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad. A switch engine with a train of cars was close at hand and the men order ed Brakeman Sovea to uncouple the train from the locomotive. He re fused and attempted to take Xeitler mier's revolver from him. The lat ter sent a bullet through the brake man's brain, laying him dead in the snow. Springing past Sovea's body, the bandits mounted the locomotive with revolvers in hand and ordered the engineer to move out in a hurry, which he did, going in the direction of Liverpool, Ind. After two miles had been covered, the men ordered the engineer to slow down, and leaping to the ground, dis appeared in the woods. When they left- the train both men were nearly exhausted and unable to travel. Later on armed officers closed in on them and they surrendered. Following fresh footprints in the Snow from the scene of tne capture of Xeiderineir and Van Dine, live residents of Fast Tolleston, Intl., cap tured Finil Koeski sitting on a bench in the Wabash station at Aetna, Ind. a town four miles northeast of Liver pool. Ind. , Soldier* and Students < lathed. Koine, Nov. 23. Students of the university endeavored to organize a demonstration Friday at the Qnir inal in favor of the king, but with an anti-Austrian character. The police broke tip the gathering and then the students rushed towards the Aus trian embassy and the Austrian con sulate, where they were received by troops who charged them with drawn bayonets. Struggles between the students and the troops ensued and several arrests were made. There were similar demonstrations Fridaj in the principal towns of Italy, es pecially in Florence and Turin, ON A HOPELESS MISSION. Colombian ICnvoy Arrives In This Country lie Nays I'anamn Trouble Was All Caused by I tilled States. Sew York, Nov. 27. —Among the passengers who arrived Thursday on board the steamer Adirondack from Savanilla was Francisco De Kanotas, a lawyer, sent by the republic of Colombia to the I'nited States in re lation to canal affairs. He will go direct to Washington. Mr. Kanotas said he could not tell just what action would be taken to obtain a settlement of the Panama situation more favorable to Colom bia, as his instructions had not yet reached him and he had yet to confer with his fellow commissioners, lieti. .limine/., Mr. Pedro K. Vale/, and Dr. Antonio K. Blanco, who arrived from Colombia, via New Orleans some days ago. They bear sealed instruc tions from the government at Bogo ta. While he was not willing to talk regarding his mission, nor to discuss what steps would be taken by tho commission, he was willing to speak of conditions in Colombia and the feeling down there when he sailed 11 days ago. "Colombia does not want to maka war on Panama. She wishes to make arrangements looking toward a set tlement. She wishes to regain Pana ma, and if not, war is probable. Vo say whether she will make war is a very hard question to answer. War with the United States is not to bo considered." He did not care to discuss the pos sibility that an attempt to land Co lombian troops in Panama might mean a clash with the United States. He continued: "The conduct of the United States has been a surprise to us. We did not imagine that the United States would do what she has done. 1 have not been to Bogota, but when I left Colombia the feeling •against the United "States was not strong. 1 do not think Minister lleaupre is in any danger. Of course when 1 sailed no one knew exactly what action had been taken by the United States. The action of the United States has been directly against the treaty of IS4O. The gov ernment of this country guaranteed the peace of the isthmus. Under that treaty the I'nited States had no right to prevent the landing of Co lombian troops for she goes there to pacify, to put down an insurrection and to restore peace. "The I'nited States has caused all the trouble in Panama. It is she who has made the republic of Panama and she ought not To prevent the landing of our troops. Colombia does not want war, she wants to re take Panama." Ceil. lleyes Arrives. New Orleans. Nov. 27. —(!en.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1903. THIRTEEN KILLED. Terrific Explosion of Gas in an Arkansas Mine. When the Disaster Occurred 175 Hon Were In the Millie—All Fscaped Without Injury Fx.ceptThose Who Were Near to the Scene of the Accident. Fort Smith, Ark., Xov. 25. —Thir- teen miners were killed and great damage was done by an accidental explosion of gas Tuesday afterno >n in coal mine No. 20 at Bonanza, Ark., 12 miles from this city. When the explosion occurred there were about 175 men in the various shafts. All escaped without injury except the i:i who were employed in entry "K," the scene of the explosion. The force of the explosion was ter rific and timbers were torn from the walls of the passages for several hun dred yards at the mouth of entry "K." The passages were so complete ly obstructed that the work of re cuing the entombed men was tedious in the extreme and several hours were consumed before the first body was found. It was thought that the gas was ac cidentally ignited by a miner's lamp. The miners who escaped, with the aul of others summoned from nearby shafts, immediately set about clear ing the passages in the hope that some of the 13 entombed men might have survived the. explosion. By nightfall six bodies had been re covered and the rescue work was still in progress. It is now consider ed certain that all of the entombed men have perished. THE STRIKE ENDED. The Chicago City Hallway Co. and Its Fmployos < onie to an Agreement— The < ompany (pains a Victory. Chicago, Nov. 2.">.—The strike of the employes of the Chicago street railway was settled early this morn ing at a conference between the mayor, the aldernianic peace commit tee, President Hamilton and E. K. Bliss, counsel for the company, and the executive board of the local union of the strikers. The basis on which the settlement was reached is a complete victory for the company as far as the original demands of the men are concerned. The only important concession ! made by the company was an agree-i ment to reinstate all the strikers, in- | eluding the outside unions who went j out in sympathy with the trainmen, with the exception of those who re-| sorted to violence during the trouble. I The arbitration of the wage scale is to be according to the wages paid j outside of Chicago, and not on the j basis of the local street railroads. Chicago, Xov. 25. —Cut wires, plug- | ged cable slots and manholes tilled ! with debris caused the City Railway j Co. all manner of trouble yesterday in operating its State street car line.

Walter Camp, the athletic adviser of Yale university, was recently entertain ing a gathering of hi, undergraduate friends with experiences of bis owu, says the New York Tribune. He told of a dinner where a charming young woman was seated next to an ex ceedingly deaf old man. She had done her best to interest him, but had found it necessary to shout out each remark unto the third and fourth narration be fore the old man could catch the point. So the time dragged aong, till the din ner was waning and the fruit was passed. The young woman determined to make , final effort at being agreeable, so she threw her voice into saying: "Do you like bananas?" "Jiow's that?" asked her neighbor, in a surprised tone. "JL),o you like bananas?" she repeated. "Well, my dear," he replied, "so long as you have introduced the topic, I will say that 1 much prefer the old-tashioued nightshirt." His Victory.
