i ToE J ST, CLOUD MAN MIKED IN A FAKE PRIZE FIGHT — Sure-Thing Bettor Is Relieved of $18,- 000 1n Cash at Council Bluffs. A ~ Omaha, Neb., Aug.7.—By a fake prize fight, following along ride from Louisville to Council Bluffs, Henry Hazelbaum, a Kentucky sport, was made a victim of one of the most elaborate con games known to the Omaha police. R. L. Thielman of St. Cloud Minn,, a brother of the Cleveland pitcher, and E. A. Alstead are under arrest here, charged with being the principles in the affair and with pro- fiting $1,000 by the deal. Hazel- baum was approached in Louisville by Alstead with the information that a prize fight, strictly secret, of course, was to be pulled off in Coun- cil Bluffs. Alstead’s partner, Thiel- man represented himself to be a pugilist known to the fighting world as Casey. His opponent was given the name of Gorman. Hazelbuam, Alstead aud Thielman made the trip together to Counci . Bluffs, where Hazelbaum was per- mitted to bet over $18,000 on Casey, but the bets were all contracted with confederates of the gang and were made with ‘“phoney” $1,000 bills. The strictest secrecy. was demanded in all the betting to pre- vent wind of the affair reaching the ears of the police. Finally the Casey money ran out and the victim was induced to bet $1,000 of his own money, with odds of 2 to1l, and when a later opportunity to bet at the same odds was offered Hazel baum pulled off his diamonds and other valuables, at another $1,000. ‘The fight was actually pulled off for Hazelbaum’s benefit at a Council Bluffs hotel. In the third round, after Hazelbaum had been taken into Casey’s corner to act as his second, Gorman struck Casey flush on the mouth and ruptured a small bladder filled with red ink. At the sight of the supposed blood Hazelbaum fainted. When he came to he was warned that the police were seeking for him for promoting a prize fight, and he took the first train for home. When he reached St. Louis he found a telegram read- ing: “Police still after you. Keep on going. Gorman has fled for Europe.” After he reached Louisville he discovered that the same Alstead was accused of fleecing several mer- chants there out of large sums of money. Detective Ross of Louis- ville is here and will take Thielman and Alstead back to Kentucky for trial in the state where the deal was hatched. They are charged with a conspiracy to defraud. Thielman, who has acquaintances in Omaha, comes from a staunch and prominent German family of St. Cloud, Minn. His father is the _ pioneer hardware merchant of that city. Here Thielman and his five brothers were born and reared, and at one time Thielman was placed in charge of the store by his father. The boys were all ball players and their proficiency at the great game tempted them to leave the less lurid sphere of counter tending. Jake Thielman, now on the pitching staff of Cleveland, is one of the sons. The man in trouble here has caught for Seattle and Spokane. Mrs. Thielman and the little children had started for Seattle a couple of days before the arrest. Confronted at the jail by an old St. Cloud man, now engaged on a local newspaper, who expressed his regret at seeing him in this trouble, Thiel- man said: “You cannot be half so sorry as I am; it is the first time in my life I was ever arrested.” Thielman says he only met Al- stead a short time before. He was especially anxious that the news of his disgrace be kept from his aged parents land family, if possible, but added: “I guess that is not possible.” NEWS FROM LAKE SIDE AND GRAND FORKS BAY — People Living on Beautiful Lake Be- midji Are Enjoying Their Outings to the Utmost.

Omur Doscribes Torrible Condition at Port ‘Arthur. i Parls, Aug. 7.—Captain Tsunoda, the Japanese military attache here, who, while on the staff of General Nogl, conducted the negotiations for the surrender of Port Arthur, in an open letter defends General Stoessel, the defender of the fortress, on the eve of the latter’s trial by courtmar- tlal for surrender to the Japanese. The Japanese attache in his letter painted a pitiable picture of the con* ditions prevailing in the fortress, which he was the first to enter. All the Russians’ food was exhausted and the 20,000 Russians under arms were, he gaid, in no condition to fight. The key' to the fortress, Captain Tsynoda added, was gone when “203-Meter hill” was captured and the fortress was at the mercy of the Japanese Feb. 1, 1905, when they took the summit of Wangtal. General Stoessel, according to the Japanese officer, might have held out for-a fortnight longer, but the result would have been an inev- itable massacre, in which it would have been difficult to distinguish com- batants from noy-combatants, Cap- tain Tsunoda gald: “Jt others forget it we remember Port Arthur cost us 60,000 lives by gunfire alone. We dug forty kilo meters of parallels and ¢xpended 30, 000,000 rounds of ammunition, Euro- pean history chrenieles the glorions capitulation of Port Arthur and it is 80 considered in Japan. That Is why the emperor of Japan ordered General Nogl to treat General Stoessel with all the honory due tp a gallant sol- dler. ~His ogn country shoyld treat him lkewise.” PROMOTERS ON TRIAL.

Despite the vigilance of the police, who have been doing dou- ble duty to prevent a further spread of the crime wave, the attack would have been successful had it not. been for the desperate struggle of Adelalde Wildrer, a trained nurse, who fought her assailant with a hatpin and finally routed him. Miss Wildrer's screams brought the police, who pursued the man to Central park, where he was brought to bay with a fusillade of bul- lets from the revolvers of the officers. The man said he was Pletro Daurlo, an Itallan peddler. A Miss Wildrer was walking home after attending a patient.. Near Man- hattan avenue and One Hundred and Sixth street an Itellan accosted her.
