Sheriff Haz- “en, who with Deputy Helmer, par- ticipated in the shooting, came in from Puposky with Detective Field- ing, but the, other two detectlvea re< ) mained to: attempt the. capture of.

The last intelligible words of’the’ wounded man were, curses and dire tlireats of vengeance aimed at the officers in - general , and Detective Fielding in particular whom Davis appesred to recognize by the pale light of the:moon. 5 Assoon as the-smoke of battle/had ‘cleared away a lineman who had been taken along by the detectives re- paired the several telephone wires and news of the affair were sent into Bemidji to Sam Fullerton who>has been on the alert day and night for several weeks and to others in Be- midji working in harmony with Mr. Fullerton. To Mr. Fullerton be- longs much credit for the success of the trap, although. eye witnesses to the actual work say Fielding in that Sheriff. Hazen g#nd Deputy. Helmer were in the midst of the firing and that no one of the officers flinched at any time. A In the arrangements for the: trap- ping of the bandits, a special train on the Red Lake line had been as- sured by General Superintendent Molander and it was steamed up and ready for service as soon as wanted, pulling into Bemidji:at 505 a. m. Three automobiles were at the'depot awaiting the coming of the bandits. Shartly after 2 a. m., Dr! Marcum was informed by telephone of the robbery and injury of the: captured thief and he was at the train with ‘his automobile. = The train was made up of locomotive and baggage car, Bean being stretched on the fioor ‘of the car, . He was carried “in a chdir from the car to the' Marcum automobile, the transfer belng made with shot guns and other weapons in the hands of a dozen officers who ‘were ready for any possible emer- gency. Safely Landed in Jail. As the prisoner was placed in the rear seat of the automobile he smiled a faint smile but said nothing. Guarding him in the | automobile were Sheriff Hazen ' and Detective Fielding. A fast Tun was made ito the county jail where Bean was lift- ‘ed jout -and. taken' in where his wounds were examined and dressad by Dr. Marcum. On ihis arm, the lddetor found the tatoged initials “M. R, B.” ‘This prisoner is about tlurty years old. He said but little but insisted. that he was not Wolr)mg because ‘of his arrest and when, in reply to his query, Dr. Marcum said: “It is nog for me' to say whether there were' any; ‘other atrests or not,"” Bean'y face; brlghtened for heinterpreted: the! answer:as meaning that jhe was the, only ' one. caught, and his commem indicated. rhnt he had more tha~n one corlederate A . Says It Was Fxrst Job. “I' dm’ glad that they got me in- stead of the other fellows,” he said. “Ot course I am sorry that this hap- pened but this'is the first Job of that kind 1 was ever in;” “Well, .you did" well for an jama- teur,” ‘commented a bystander; and this ‘brought a significant smile to the face of the prisoner. Said to Be Murderer. Mike Davis, the wounded robber who escaped, 'is said by the detec- tives to be not only a Chicago mur- derer but that he has been the active principle in ‘many holdups in differ- ent parts of the country and that they have connected him with the Lake' Minnetonka affair as well as the recent Shevlin attempt. The Shevlin affair is not without its in- teresting points that bear on the present upheaval.

The first lnkllng of the wide ‘spread: eonsplracy waa present: ed by.two Bemidji peréons who werg furnished detailed inférmation by a former convict which involves prom- inent twin city persons as well ‘as persons in Bemidji and Cass Lake. Say Dumag Came Here. 4 Dr. Dumas came’to' Bemidji Wed- nesday and held a consultation wlth a party of 'professional! robbers in- cluding Davis and Bean. and two otliers, say the detectives, and it was at this meeting that the details of the robbery at Puposky were worked out,. It is said that he paid “Curley Davis” a questionable compliment of being the most-expert cracksman and hahdler of“soup” in the west," to which Davrs ' replied,. “You flatter me," i Said to Admit Revenge Motive, It is said-that Dr. Dumas frankly | admitted that he cordially hated the owner of the Puposky store whleh he said was a former: Winnipeg man and asked the boys present to “do this -Job to'accommodate me)” and whlle there : would 8fot, . be . much’ money in it, there would be a good deal of satisfaction. According to these plans, the robbers were to pro- ceed to Puposky to look -over the | field ' of action, crack the safe and | then ‘destroy the building with dyna- mite :and fire. ‘The men .were then to; hasten to a concealed automobile at a safe digtance lrom Puposky and then for a wild ride ‘to the outskirts of. ‘Bemidji ‘and on' to Cass Lake ‘where ' Dr. Dumas; according to the plan, was to. be in waiting to reeeive,, his “pals” and to provide means of eseape. e Said to Have Been- Sealed i_n Blood.
