cided not to be a candidate for re-

election this fall unless Tim Keli-her will consent to again be hisdeputy, to which the latter will notconsent as it is said he wishesto again take--a fall out of the officeof clerk of the district court.

An Early Morninp Tire.Monday morning at a trifle past

three o'clock' our citizens werearoused by the shriekings and wail-ing- s

of the fog-hor- n whistle at thewaterworks in concert with thehoarse bellowing, of the U. P.sliopi whistle, from their earlymorning slumbers, and many ofthem lazily turned over upon theircouches and muttered to themselvesthat some one must again be"monkeying" with the fire alarmsystem. The more energetic, how-

ever, arose and started upon a tourof investigation. This proceduredeveloped the fact that the flameswere consuming a two-stor- y framebuilding upon east Front street be-

longing to Dan Murphy. The de-

partment quickly responded to thecall, and although many of itsmembers had left the city with thelocal militia company, prompt andefficient work soon subdued theblazes The origin of the fire is notknown. The loss is about $350,

which, is fully protected by insur-

ance, as there is said to be $1200 ofinsurance upon the property, in twocompanies..

SUPPOSED TRAIN' R03BESS CAUGHT.

Xate and Hans Znndsen Arrested andBrought to This City.

Information reached this city lastSaturday evening of the capture oftwo men over near Mason City, inCuster county, Neb., who are sup-posed to be the identical partieswho held up and robbed the UnionPacific train near Brady Island lastTuesday night. The capture waseffected by ex-depu- ty sheriff Wm.Parsell, village marshal H. L.Crossley, and Dr. Carlson. Thefellows liad been seen by severalCuster county citizens betweenCallaway and Broken Bow on Sat-urday. On reaching the BlackHills branch of the B. & M. R'ythey stole a ride on a freight trainfrom ,Ansley to Mason City, andwere ignorainiously "fired" by thetrain crew. They only lingeredbut a brief time in Mason City andstruck out walking eastward. Sus-

picion was directed to them andthe above gentlemen started, inpursuit with the result that theycame up with their quarry somefive miles east of Mason City.

At the time of their arrest thetwain were bathing in. a pond nearthe roadside. Upon being com-

manded to throw up their hands,the smaller one who only had hisfeet disrobed promptly compliedwith the order; but the larger onerwho in the language of the sportsis a "dead tough looking mug,"seemed-dispose- d not to surrender,and started for his clothing tosecure his revolver. Fortunatelyfor him he realized that discretionwas the better part of valor, andyielded ere the" officers decided toperforate his carcass. Onv theirpersons, were tound three revolvers,a knife, 32 in monev, some miscellaneous articles, and. two silk handkerchiefs with holes torn in.tliemfwhicjtfirtd indicate they had' been,usedifoQMpks.

Tlie JflHws exhibit a low cuiftmng, wliicn-rmuif- e nac; :tiAir? conviction a matter of some difficulty, Jby reason of their not telling the-entir-e

story in regard to heirpresence in this part of the country,as they claim their home to be inDakota1 county, this state. Theygive their names as Knudsen, andare said to be Danes, and brothers.K. Knudsen is five feetseven inchesin height, weighs 142 pounds,gives his age at twenty-nin- e years,and has his name tattooed on hisleft forearm. Hans Knudsen issix feet and one-four- th inch inheight, states his age as twentyyears, and weighs 168 pounds.Each have dark complexions anddark hair, closely cropped, andrather low foreheads, indicating- -

a low intellect, yet not necessarilya lack of cunning.

The suspects were about eighteenmiles ahead of the following gentle-men who were gradually warmingup the trail and in a short timewould have been able to put theblood-houn- ds upon the track,although they had hitherto been ofno avail: Frank White, UnitedStates marshal, W. H. Liddiard,("Rattlesnake Pete"), chief deputyU. S. marshal, T. J. Brewer, deputysheriff, of Rouse, Col., and U. P.R'y detectives Canada, Keith,Tobin and Vizzard. This partyfound a new Winchester rifle whichhad probably been dropped by thedesperadoes in their wild flightacross the country. The latterwere brought to this city upon aspecial train Sunday evening, andof course they attracted more atten-tion than the three-rin- g pop circusof the day before, although fromtheir attempt they also apperred tobe free silver men. One persever-ing, perspiring individual wasstationed at an upper window ofthe Pacific hotel armed with akodak, and anxiously awaiting anopportunity to "press the button."But the opportunity was notafforded him to secure a "snapsljot" as the cars were switched upto the Locust street crossing andthe two fellows were escorted tothe county jail by a large throng ofcurious citizens.

The Knudsen brothers were ar-

raigned this morning before JudgeRay and their preliminary com-

menced. At the instance of theircounsel, T. Fulton Gantt, a prelim-inary investigation was waived andbail was fixed at $5,000, in defaultof which they were remanded backto jail.
