o " THE OwMAHA DAy BEE SEVENTEENTH YEAR. M'GARIGLE SAFE IN CANADA: Landed All Right at Point Edward Though Olosely Pursued. TAKING IT COOLLY AT SARNIA. He Walks the Back Streets and Does Not Go Near the River Front For Fear of Being Kid- napped. scaped the Detectives, CuicaGo, July 3l.—|Special Telegram to the Bik.|—Late this afternoon Sheriff Mat- #on received advices to the effect that the much sought after MeGarigle has landed, ecither last night or this morning, at Point Edward, Ontario, which is nearly opposite Port Huron, Mich. The advices were very meager, but as near as could be ascertained he landed from thie schooner Marsh, This would appear to_corroborate the story tele- graphed from Mackinaw a day or two ago regarding the supposed transter of McGarigle from the schooner Blake to the Marsh. Every etfort is being made to obtain additional re- liable information in regard to the matter. The sheriff and deputies have no doubt of the truth of this last report, and it seems set- tled that the “daudy boodler” is sate at last 1n the dominion. What action will be taken is problematie, Sheriff Matson has wired the governor ask- ing him to request the national government to communicate with the authorities at Ot- tawa and request their aid in the capture of #n escaped convict, taken from Chicago by a Canadian boat and Canadian crew to a Can dian port. Ne definite reply has been re- ceived to this request. Another point that may be raised, and is now being considered by State Attorney Grinnell, is whether for- gery can be shown in anv of McGarigle's crooked work—that Is, a clear enouzh case of {orgery to make him extraditable. Mr. Grin- nell bardly knows as yet whether any of the bills, estinates and papers prepared by the ex-warden will bear that construetion or not, but itis a point favorably thought of by him and he and Sheriff Matson’s lawyers will look into 1t closely. McGarigle, when he made his escape, not only broke his parole as a man, butasa Knight Templar. Both Sheriff Matson and himself are Masons, and this fact had some influence in the trust reposed in the ex-war- den by the sheriff. Knights Templar and Masons, who are a power in every civilized land, will undoubtedly keep well in mind this action of McGarigle, and if he should re- main at large in Canada it will not tend to make his future very comfortable. A special from Sarnia, Ont., says that Mec- Garigle, the Chicago boodler, who lay in the Chicago jail under a sentence of three years, and leaked through the bath tub from Sheriff Matson last Sunday night, was landed at Puint Edward this morning about 8 o’clock from the schooner Edward Blake, on which he was suspected a8 leaving Chicago. The schooners Marsh and Blake were in the same tow, the Blake being last. The tug Oriole bad been on the lookout here and ran along- siae the Blake and had a conversation with the ofticers there. ‘The Oriole, hav- ing Chicago detectives and reporters on board, steamed up to the Marsh apparently to have the captain of the Marsh let the Blake tow line go where they were in American waters, just opposite the Port Huron water works, where the detectives could take McGarigle. ‘The Blake line was let go, but at that instant the yawl was low- ered from the Blgke and McGarigle aud a Vallor madd for the lana side, McGarigle seing landed at Point Edward. 'Che Marsh went on and the Blake remained in the river all this afternoon. McGarigle made his way nere and was driven to Courtright, twelve miles down the river, ostensibly to catch » boat. He was driven back here, nowever, and is in the city. There are various rumors as to his where- abouts, the Chicago reporters stating that he left for the east on the 10 a. m. train. Such is not the case. Mc(Garigle has his meustache and small sideburns still on and looks oronzed after his trip on the lakes. 1le is ap- parently mervous as to his safety, but the :hifef of police states that he has no authority arrest him. ‘The detectives have ar- anged for communication all night between here and Port Huron in hoves of being able i0 get him over, but McGarigle keeps away from the river and has been walking about iome of the back streets with a party who drove him to Courtright and back again. The Chicago police have been notitied of his a tival here, but have not yetordered his arrest. A\Bpu'ently he is safe on Canadian soil. About 7 o’clock he hunted up a dry goods merchant to purchase & new hat. He is fuir- ly well dressed, s A TORNADO OF WORDS, Prominent Milwaukee Men Have a Very Heated Tilt.

A Poser For the Governor, Drs Moixes, Ia, July 51.—[Special to the Bk, |—A very singular case i8 now attract- ine public attention in this vicinity. A Iady, Mrs. Turney by name, from Van Buren, Jackson county, alleges that ner son is now confined in the state vrison at Anamosa serving. out a sentence of seventeen and a half years, without ever having had a fair trial, or in fact any trial at all in the ordin- ary meaning, She says that he was charged with larcency but was never taken inio court to answer to the charge, and at the time of his alleged trial he was not permited to see the jury or have them see him. Her sta mentof the case is that there was a collusion with the district attorney by which tue boy was kept out of court, and his trial was rushed through in his absence, so that the district attorney would get better fees than he could if the trial had taken its usual course and the boy had had an opportunity to plead. She also says that the boy’s attor- ney never said a word in his behalt and the whole case went by default whila the boy was In the sheriff’s office adjoining the court room, waiting to be called. I'he story on its face seems very improbable, but the woman claims to have veritications of her statements from the judge who presided at the so called trial, and from hundreds of reputable citizens of Jackson county. But it is very nard to believe that in this day of the world and in this state, that any such out- rage upon justice as she describes, could take place. ‘The governor evidently is not dis- posed to think it possible, for he has retused 1o grant a pardon to the poy. Nevertheless, the mother has interested a number of peo- ple in the case, and they have given her money with which to help her publish it to the world. ~ If it be true it would be one ot the most monstrous erimes of the centuy. It it be untrue, how does it happen tl many reputable and responsible people have endor; ‘,(l her version of the affair? "There is evidently some mystery about the aflair which time alone can reveal.

It was a foregone conclusion that the home team would win, and in consequence, the game seemed list- less and draggy, barring brief intervals of excitement the fine plays occasioned, Everybody was glad to see the Wichitas beaten, not because of any conceived wis- dom or antipathy for MeGriftin’s gang, but s1uply and solely on account of tueir dizzy uniform.

New Yonrg, July 81,—([Special Telegram to the Bk, |[—There was one bright day the past week and that was Thursday, when a small rally in stocks took place ,under pur- chases by the Maxwell-Corbin par ty, standard oil people, and some of the leading commis- sion houses, as well as by a brisk covering movementon the part of the shorts, On the other days depression generally prevailed and there was a sagging of prices right through the list. Room traders had the market pretty much to themselves during the early part of the week, but did not make any great impression on prices until later on, when they received the assistance of some ot the leaders like Commack V.

Londen bought quite freely on several oceasions, and the steamers sailing yesterday took out a considerable amount of stocks. Prices of coal were advanced, good progress was made in the fall trade at this point, and railway earnings, as a rule, continue to show gains, But these favorable features had scarcely passing influence, The great mass of operators seemed to be in a mood only for unfavorable things, and, for the time being, rumors were more acceptable than facts. ‘The money stringency at Boston was made much of, and on two occasions gave rise to unfounded stories of @& panic there. It also answered the purvose of reviving once more the agitation about the future of the momentary situation and starting apprehen- ons that received an impetus from an active nd for time loans at 6 per cent., while call mouey was sable at 4 to 5, Rumors of impending embarrassment were frequent- ly put afioat,and these were not without their effect, us prices moved on downward, Mar- gins were impaired and liquidation followed, whichi was precisely the result the bears la- bored to bring about. A careful study of the table of the highest and lowest prices will show a i d shrinkace in the values for the week, in which there was no_panic nor any ozeurrenee to provoke one. As the case now stands the bears are in control simply because there appears to be nobody capable of contesting their supremacy whois willing to do so0.

CrerGiron, Neb., July 81.—|Corre spondence of the BEE.]—Among the fere tile spots that have been scemingly specially blessed by nature in fertile No- brasku, stands this, the southern part of Knox county. With a soil second to none in the state in point of productiveness and durability, and having a topography that admits of the ready cultivation of our-fifths of the land embraced within its limits, it will be readily seen thut the advantages over numerous of our sister counties are quite marked, as the avere age acreage is about threc-fifths. Knox county first began to attract the attention of the home-secker in the spring of 1870, when the advent of one of the arms of stecl and of that great eivilizer of northern Nebraska, the Northwestern railway sys- tem into the county e it a sterling boom. This boom not the work of speculating land sharks, but was a rec- ognition and practical discovery of the superior advantages of this section by the ever busy homesteader. Men of nerve, bra in and push, sceing with I:ronpomiva eve that this beatiful and richly favored section was destined to unbosom one of the brightest gems of commercial great. ness in northern Nebraska, picked out the most nature-favored spot in the do-, main and located anda_ platted the village of Creighton. The railroad endorsed the: wisdom of their choice by making th village the terminus of this branch, an from that day its growth has been i keeping with the wonderful development of the adjacent farming commumty, The town of to-day stands on the westerm slove of the banks of Buazile creek, at beautiful little spring-fed stream thaw furnishes no less than three large milla with motive power ere it traverses tha short svace of thirty miles, they being all situnted within six miles of the south lin of the county. The people of the town, from the start, laid down the motto a their guide, that “what was worth doin was worth doing well, " and with thid they hu trictly andhered in the erection’ of their business and residence buildings) and the many and varied public improve ments that so strongly mark the intell gence, thrift and enterprise of our ci zens, With a harmony that is only born of one motive, one aim, the citizens pu their shoulder to the wheel of progres and without a single jar of tihe machil of municipal government the city haw moved onward and upward until it g v town of 900 population of aggress' ve, industrious and talented people. A summary of the business representis tion of Creighton gives us three banks, five livery stables, four hotels, two rese taurants, three drug stores, thre sive grocery stores, two billiard halls, two meat markets, two Tumber and couk yards, two e coal, tive general merchandis one complete furniture and u establishment which has the bes in north Nebraska, two barber shops, two bardware stores, two implementf deslers, nine dealers in hive stock, three shormakers, one tailor, six centractory and builders, one marhle works, s shops, live lnwyer rnice works 2 sstate dealersy twenty-one insuranc rents, threo mild linery stores, two finely wppointed newss and printing ofiices, four bluckd hops, three wagon shops and oneg book exchange.
