Hapid City, S. I). Willis Lippen
eoll, who resigned as chief of police
recently, closed his career as tin offi
cer Saturday night by catching a
thief who has been systematically
robbing the American Kxpress comp
any for several months.
Lippencott and Arthur Hose agent
for the company were secreted near
the platform of the Northwestern sta
tion on which stood a truck loaded
with express parcels awaiting the
train for Omaha. The watchers were
rewarded just as the whistle sounded
announcing the approach of the train
by hceing Jimmy Tiautniaii, a porter
and somewhat of a sport stealthily
approach the truck and filch a ptick
i.age, then sneak into the shadow of
the depot. Both Lippencott and Hose
met Trainman at the west end of the
depot and the former poking a gun
'into his face placed him under ar
rest
Slipping a pair of handcuffs on the
prisoner lie was escorted to his
home where a search of the premises
.was instituted. While this was go
ing on Trautman and his family, con
sisting of a wife and two grown dau
ghters were weeping and trying ap
parently to comfort the husband and
father. Suddenly Trautman made a
break for the door followed by his
family. He plunged outside and in
stead of following him Mrs. Trainman
and her .laughters turned at the door
and barred the egress of Hoss. Unable
to force Mrs. Trautman from the
door and with lier daughters clinging
to liei' neck Hose dealt Mrs. Train
man a blow on the mouth which
floored her and took several front
teeth. Then shaking himself clear of
the girls he started after Trautman
with drawn revolver. Catching a

daughters over the prostrate body of

had carried a kerosene lamp. When
Trainman bolted the policeman also
jstarted in pursuit but found his way
blocked by the girls and himself
tampered by the lamp. Tossing it over
the heads of the women out of doors
lie pulled his gun anil threatening

Washington, D. C. A resolution
•'ailing for early action by the bank
ing and currency conimiit.ee in its
nv.'stigat ion of the so-called inom-v
trust was introduced today in the
tOtise by Hepresenlative Lindberg,
,if Minnesota, author ol tile original
'money trust" inquiry resolution.
The resolution, in a voluninons pre
amble sets forth that in the "many
months" since the investigation was
authorized, "the committee seems not.
to have considered the. investigation
from the standpoint, of securing lacts
to aitl in the early future work ot
framing remedial legislation, but.
seems rather to have been planning
an investigation as if for an indict
ment anl in such purpose is blocked
by those who have offended against
the honest and impartial rules of
business, and by government ofbetals
who deem the personal privileges of
banks so sa''rcd that, their business
shall not be investigated than for the
benefit: of the public weitare."
Tlie resolution argues that while
the committee may not have the pow
er to onlain certified information,
it should proceed immediately to se
cure "till the practical information
and data that may reasonably be had
in relation to the influence exercised
by the money trust, in the control of
the banks and of money and credits
as the tame enter into commerce.
business and speculation and with
{reasonable promptness report to the
I House from time to time."
Lindberg said he would await, acl
