Jail at S:ls tonight in the custody of
Detective Nicholas Bendel, who made
the sensational kidnap last night at S:.

When the party reached the jail, they
were met by United States auth ■■-
who produced habeas corpus papers

ed the prisoner. B?ndel refused I
his man until the United States
marshal had given him a receipt. After
considerable wrangling this was done,
and Marshal Gamble took charge of
Yon Der Ahe.
J. Scott Ferguson, his attorney, then
signed a bail bond for $2,500 which re

"I don't see but one way to fix this
matter up," said he. "That way is to
scrape up the dust and with the pawn
ticket in my pocket go to Pittsburg and
redeem Chris."
From Mr. Biuckenfuss It was learned
that two weeks age Yon Der Ay.
ceived a letter from Mr. Nlmocks. who
himself in the friendliest
manner ar.d told Yon Der Ahe not
rry about the Baldwin judgment.
The second move was made last week
when Chris received a telegram from
New York which read:
Can I see you at your office some after
noon next week? I have a little private
business to discuss with you. Answer at

The magnate telegraphed back this

There was no reply to this and noth

til Yon Der Ahe received the invita

It is understood that the final deals of
the pl.-c to abduct Chris and force him
to go to Pittsburg were arranged -ion
day morning in the law office of W. C.
& J. C. Jones, in the Laclede build
ing here. The Messrs. Jones were at

ln St. Louis early Monday morning and
put up at the Planters' hotel.
While Detective Bendel was out ar
ranging for his carriage. Messrs.
Scandrett and Fording, it is said, held
a consultation with J. C. Jones and
laid before him the plot to abduct Yon
Der Ahe. If there were any legal ob

tainly were not acted upon.

Dick Buckley says: "What a pitcher
shculd learn is to gain control of his '
ball. That is Rusie's strong point, and that
is why he is the greatest pitcher of them all.
When he came to Indianapolis and I started
coaching him he used his fast ball. He
would shoot them at me In practice, and then
in the game he would harve jus: as much
sfeam. The trouble with young pitchers is
that they go cut in the morning practice and
try to knock all th» boards off the fence with
their fast ones, and in the afternoon they find ]
that they cannot control the fast ball, and
have to resort to the medium pace for safety.
This is the end of it. and there are hits ga
lore. A pitcher should practice speed and
command. He should sail the ball over as
fast as he can. and try his utmost to put
it right where he wants it. Almost anybody
has a slow or medium ball, which can be
used at times, but it is a dangerous thing
to rely on. Now, take these Western league
pitchers. If a man is on first and nobody Is
out. the runner binnK fast. It is almost cer
tain that the batter will bunt. Tben it is the
picher's place to keep the ball high, so he
cannot bunt It safely. When I see one of our
pitchers put over a low one in this emergency
it makes me sick, for a bunt is sure to follow,
as a schoolboy can meet a low ball."

GRABLE'S POINT OF VIEW
THE WESTERN PROMOTER DIS
CLOSES HIS AFFAIRS
Foander of Edfcemont Enter* a Gen
eral Plea of _»"<_t Gnilty to the
Yarions Charges AtcalnKt Him.
aad Blamei President Williams,
of the Chemical National.
j OMAHA. Neb.. Feb. S.— Francis C.
i Grable. promoter, arrived in Omaha
from St. Louis today and Immediately
went to the home of his local repre
i sc-ntative. M. L. Parrotte. After re
i refusals Mr. Grable cons
to talk of the present condition of his
various enterprises. Mr. Grable looks
as though he had undergone a severe
mental strain.
"1 have little to state to the public,
at the presr-nt time, other than what
has already been said. I think th?
newspapers have misrepresented me in
n any things, although I do not know
that it was intentional. I can oniy
say now that I organized all the com
panies in which I was identirit-d. upon
a legal basis, and that there is no
reason why they will not ultimately
prove paying investments. I have re-
I many kind letters from frit nds
:n this city and in the Black bills
country, who still express their cor.ri
dem-f in me and with their a.sistan. c
I hope to once more regain my former
p> sition.
"Thr whale trouble was pr.cii
by the action - I ot Williams, of
the Chemical National Bank of N
*_nrk. in demanding the resignation ol
•r t.uinlan. The various •
prises with which I was I were
in good condition, although, it is tru-',
carrying a lar?re indebtedness, and they
were in no wn.y dissimilar to thou*
of projects which are at the present
day backed bj l«r._e K;istern capital.
Rank Blamed.
"To show you that President Wil
liams' action was unwarranted, I had a
dtation with him a few days
vlous to the resignation of Cashier
Quirlan and told him that I had al
ready (180.000 • n band with which to
i ur ci m]
to th- bank and within a few w
c aid easi'v raise the r
amount. He was well aw.-.r of t*\
i i r ti
which had be* r. due the bank '.
formei occasion, and he had no right
to (i. ability op h t.
so ir. lhe present instance.
"If Pres- I withheld
action in the matter for a forthnight
.nk would have r .-. eiv< •!
d. liar that was due from the Edgemont
t( mpa
"As additional proof that Pre
Williams did not act in good faith,
either with Cashier Qoinlan or myself,
I will merely that the "little flyer "
he >; - i - ' in connection with the
. mont enterprises, paid him
In dividends, three-fourths of U_e
tai he invest* >'..
"In summing up the work of Wes
developing in which I have been en
- - . . . Eng the pasl -
find that the original Edgemont Town
site company capitalized at 1175,000, has
paid back to its si rs in divi
dends near'y, three-fourths of the
money invested. This was accomp'ished
in th- hard rimes, so It would
a] pear from this that the so-called
' schemes ' must be of some producing
value.
"The Union Hill smelting property,
together with that built at Galena,
costing in the aggregate nearly
1 regard - I investment."
Mr. Grable says he will remain in this
city for several days to recruit his
nerve forces and to visit Edgemont, re
turning Fast later to replace
mont Investments upon a solid finan
cial footing.
JURIST NOT TO BE BLUFFED.
Threatening Letters Sent to the
Jnd»e I'rexitlinK Over the Trial
of Sheriff Martin.
WILKESBARRE, Pa.. Feb. B.—Be
fore the trial of Sheriff Martin and
his deputies was resumed today. Judg •
Woodward stated that he had rec! v. d
an anonymous letter stating that If he
did not do certain thiners something
would happen, and a threat was made.
The judge said: "The man who wrot ■
! this will probably hear what I ha\e
- ly, an.! I want to tell him that he
Is a scoundrel and a coward and that
no such dishonorable means will in any
way affect my Judgment."
Evan Jones, the chief of police of
i West Hazleton. testified that the strik
ers reached West Haxleton on the af
ternoon of the shooting and there met
the sheriff and the deputies. They
carried a flag and talked rather loud,
but they had no arms and made no
disturbance.
The testimony of the other witness* 9
examined today was along the same
line, relating to the scenes at the r>lao_
sturbance and showing that the
strikers were unarmed.
Counsel for the defense claimed that
District Attorney Martin was merely
taking up tinve in asking each witness
if the strikers were armed.
"Will you admit It?" asked Martin.
"No. sir; we admit nothing."
"Then we will go ahead and prove
j it."
"Go on." said Palmer, "it will take
I you seven years."
TRAVELING MAN IS ROBBED.
L. W. Lohmiller I. ones Money and
Diamond.* to the Valne
of *aoo.
L. W. Lohmiller. a Chicago traveling
man. stopped at the Astoria hotel, fell
among thieves Monday night and is
now mourning the loss of a diamond
! stud, a diamond ring, a gold watch
I and a small sum of money, his aggre
! gated loss being in the neighb i
| of 5300.
The robbery took place sometime be
fore midnight, but Lohmiller is unable
to clearly relate the details. He left
the Astoria hotel after Bupper. and
I when he returned about 2 o'clock in
j the morning, told the clerk h*- had !■••. n
| held up and robbed. He had no ap
pearance of having been assaulted, but
his attire appeared in a somewhat dis
heveled state.
The police are working upon the
theory that Lohmiller was drugged
and then taken by some of his com
panions of the evening to a distant
part of the city ln a hack, where he
was robbed of his valuables. They
have found where he visited three
saloons before he was robbed.
SII.LY STORY PI NCTI RED.
The Pioneer Press .'Wool Gather
ing" on Letter's Wheat.
The Pioneer Press yesterday morning
printed a very .col-fh fake Ir. which It sild
Joseph Leirer had been making every ef
fort to borrow money from New York banks
irrj the _S>,QQO,QOQ bushels of wheat
i which be owns. The report eont DO J:
"It Is now- understood that one i tjeet of
the vi.;t of J. J. HI!!, president of the Great
i Northern, has been to < he.-km_.te tie efforts
i of the Leiter party to secure New York

trust are also antagonistic to the L-iter p:o

apoiis, is also in New V rk an. Is and r t d
I to be on the same errand."
Of cottrse, then was not a word of truth
in any of thU trash. The reference to J. J.
Hill wa. especially absurd, as be is known
to be a believer in higher pri-es for wheat
and constant in his efforts to adva::
