Dr. Marcum has ad—e ministered tetanus serum to prevent the possibility of lockjaw. Dog Trails Fugitive. Davis was trailed for a distance by a small spaniel dog. Sheriff Haz- en, who with Deputy Helmer, par- ticipated in the shooting, came in from Puposky with Detective Field- ing, but the other two detectives re- mained to. attempt: the capture of Davis with the coming of daylight. Bean had’ made a race for eover when a final volley brought him down. It was seen that Davis had been wounded, a charge of t!}e shot having torn a great wound in his ~gide, apparently not far : from ' his thigh. Déspité this he staggered on, with the dog-close at his heels. His groans and cries for help told the detectives the course of his direction. Last- Words Heard Are Curses. The last intelligible words of ‘the wounded man were curtes and dire threats of vengeance aimed at the officers in general and Detective Fielding in particular whom Davis appeared to recognize by the pale light of the moon. As soon 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 #nd Deputy Helmer were in the midst of the firing and that no one of the officers flinched at any time. 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 5:05 a. m. Three automobiles were at the depot awaiting the coming of the bandits. Shortly after 2 a. m., Dri 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 floor of the car. He was carried "in a chair from the car to the Marcum automobile, the transfer being 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 run was made ‘to the county jail where Bean was lift- ed out and taken in where his wounds were examined and dressed by Dr. Marcum. On his arm, the doctor found the tatooed initials M. R. B.” 'This prisoner is about thirty years old. He said but little but insisted. that he was not worrying because of his arrest and when, in reply to his query, Dr. Marcum said: “It is not for me to say whether there’ were any-other arrests or not,"” Bean’s face: brightened for he interpreted. the answer as meaning that ;he was the only. one caught, and his comment indicated that he had more than one coafederate. Savs It Was First Job. “[ am glad that they got me in- stead of the other fellows,” he said, “Of course I am sorry that this hap- pened but this is the first job of that kind I was ever in.” “Well, you did well for an ama- 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 | from nnDlylng enough nnroglycerlne : it | Puposky' has bee thing- which -prevented ' the robbers o open f.h'e"sfif Twice before t fi;,st time belng two years a,gn \ 3 the ‘safg was blown, by three men whp came to,Bemidji on a railroad velo- cipede and were met atithe: Red lea: brijige west of ‘town by Sheriff Hazen' am‘ Deputy: Sheriff ‘Andrew’ Johnson' and.Al.

Automobiles for every emergency were provided by C. W. Jewett. For three days, Sheriff Hazen and Deputy N. W. Helmer had been lying in wait, The first inkling of the wide spread conspiracy was present- ed by two Bemidji persons who were furnished detailed infon_nation by a former convict which involves prom- inent twin city persons as well as persons in Bemidji and Cass Lake. Say Dumas Came Here. . Dr. Dumas came .to Bemidji Wed- nesday and held a consultation with’ 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 handler of “soup” in the west, to which Davis replied, “You flatter me.” ! Said to Admit Revenge Motive. It is said that Dr. Dumas frankly | admitted that he cordially hated the owner of the Puposky store which he said was a former Winnipeg man| and asked the boys present to “do| this job to accommodate me,” and while. there would “tlot 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 ther 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 distance from 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 receive ! his “pals” and to provide means of\ escape. . Said to Have Been Sealed in Blood.‘ It is said that this pact was sealed ! with a cross mark beneath a skull and cross bones made with blood scratched from his arm. This pact is presumed to have been sworn to| on the life of all present and that death awaited any man who “peach- ed or got cold feet.” Dr. Dumas: was to ‘leave on the midnight train to prepare the neces- sary ‘soup,’" spending 'the time be- tween the close of the conference and train time in social conversation at the Commercial ¢lub rooms.: It is: further said that the mayor did leave and that when he got to Cass Lake he proceeded. to “boil up” the dyna- mite w lxich, it is alleged, was stolen from the J. Neil Lumber company of Cass Lake, and that he stewed. this! terrirely powerful liquid with a steady nerve until it was of ‘a proper consisteney. When properly pre- pared, the explosive was placed in a grip and was brought to Bemidji and turned over ‘to Dayvis -and Beéan. Thus equipped, the robbers wex"e ready to do business. Sheriff Hazen, Deputy Helmer and Superintendent Fielding and two as- sistants had been hiding in the build- ing since the day previous, armed with shot guns and revolvers. Unless Judge Walter Bordwell, presiding judge of the supreme court of Los Angeles county, determines otherwise the trials of the three iron workers under arrest for dynamiting will be held before him. It was in Judge Bordwell’s deparfment thag the indictments were returned. James R. Keene, the wizard of Wall Street, was educated in Dublin. the recent Shevlin attempt. The Shevlin affair is not without its in- teresting points that bear on the present upheaval. Lack of “Soup” at Shevlin. According to the alleged confes- sion of the former rabber, the in- ability of Mayor Dumas to turn out “soup” quick enough was the only Dr. William Osler finds his recre- ation in bibliography.
