Laporte. Ind.. Nov. 28. —A ruling of the supreme court, which reversed the judgment of the Laporte circuit court in the waterworks case of E. H. Scott and others against the city of Laporte, has placed the city council in a quan dary. Interest on the bonds issued by the water company becomes due Dec. 1. and there is no money in the treasury to meet it. There is considerable money due the company from the city, which, under the higher court's rule, is afraid to pay it. the court having held th? contract between the company and the city as invalid. The water company was organized some years ago. the city taking 830,000 worth of bonds, and the city making a contract for 1.000.000 gallons of water a day at a cost of J9OO a month. The city gradually acquired all the stock except a few shares, and whenever the company needed money for operating expenses the city made an appropriation. The scheme "as bitterly opposed by a number of citizens, and the supreme court has held ft to be unconstitutional. Was a Hard Drinker. , Indianapolis.

Rondthaler, formerly pastor of the Tabernacle church of this city ' now of Chicago. A revolver grasped in his hand and a bullet-hole in his . temple gave mute evidence that be ' had killed himself. No reason is 1 known why he should have killed himself. except that he was at times a hard drinker and had been drinking freely for several days Rondthaler i was about thirty years old and was ' employed as a traveling salesman.

Os CRIME — Terrible Record of Four Beardless Desperadoes At Chicago. After Months of Apparent Immunity, One of Them Got Drunk and Was Arrested. He Babbled and Now His Companions Have Joined Him—An Exciting Man Hunt. Chicago. Nov. 28.—Three beardless boys. Peter Neidertneier. Harvey Van Dine and Emil Roskie. have confessed to ♦heir share in a three months’ career of crime which has included eight murders, the wounding of five other men. and a long series of robberies. The young bandits, none of whom is over twenty-one years old, were cap tured near Liverpool. Ind . last evening after a fight in which they battled against policemen, railroad detent’ves railroad laborers and farmers. One man was killed, another fatally wounded. an I all three of the young ba'-dits were wounded, but not seriously. The dead: T. J. Sovea. brakeman on the Pennsylvania railroad Wound ed. Joseph Driscoll, detective on Chicago police force; shut through abdo men and can live but a short time: Matthew Zimmer, detective on Chicago police force, shot in head and arm. Niedertneier was wounded in the head by bird-shot VaiiDlne was sim ilarly injured and sustained in addition a flesh wound in the left thigh Roeskie was shot in the right hip. The record of the trio just captured together with that of Gustav Marx, their companion in crime, whose confession lead to their arrest. Is eight murders and many attempts at mur der. None of the four desperadoes is over twenty-one years old. but besides the robbery of the Chicago City rail way. when two of the railway employes were shot and killed without warning, and $2,250 was carried off by the bandits, the youthful murderers were concerned In many other robberies in which six other persons were killed and five were seriously wounded With only a short Bridewell sen fence renreoenting their criminal court records up to six months ago the exploits of these youths since last July h.ve had the police department of Chicago In a state of bewilder ment. The list of the four boys’ vic tims. killed and wounded, in the last half year, follows: Killed: Otto Bauder, murdered during saloon holdup on July 9; Adolph Johnson, murdered in a saloon robbery on Aug 2: James B Johnson motorman. killed in robbery of Chi caro City Railway company’s car barns on Aug. 30; Johnson was asleep on a bench in the outer office and was awakened by the shooting, was shot and killed before he could rise to his feet; Francis W. Stewart, shot down without warning during car barn robbery: B. C. Lagross. murdered in his saloon on Aug. 2: Policeman John Guinn, killed Nov. 21 While trying to arrest Marx, T. J. Sovea. brakeman, killed Friday; Joseph Driscoll, detective. now dying in a hospital Wound ed: T W. Lathrop, agent Chicago & Northwestern railroad, shot during at tack on Clybourn Junction station on July 3. Peter Gorski, shot during an I attack by the four men on his saloon ! on July 20; Henry Biehl, clerk. Injured in robbery of car barns on Aug 30; William B. Edmund, clerk, shot and seriously injured during same robbery; Matthew Zimmer, detective, wounded in fight Friday. These crimes netted the highwaymen $2,540. Emboldened by the success of these depredations and their apparent immunity from detection outlawry on a wider scale had been planned by the four desperadoes. The holding up of railroad trains in Chicago was decided on. Dynamite being difficult to buy in Illinois and being easily traceable, they made a special trip to Cripple Creek. Col, to secure the explosive. A scheme to hold up a train on the Chicago & Northwestern road aborted because the engineer did not stop at a signal. Shortly afterward Marx became drunk and on being arrested, told of the crimes. The three men were wanted as the murderers at the car barns of the Chi cago City Railway company on Aug 30, when two men were killed, a third badly wounded and $2,260 stolen from the company. Gustav Marx, who last Saturday night murdered John Quinn, the policeman who endeavored to place him under arrest, confessed after his capture that he, in company with the three men. had committed the crimes at the car barns. The hunt for Vandlne. Nledermler and Roeskie had been hot ever since. Although they knew that the entire police force was looking for them, the three men remained In the city until Wednesday morning, when they left Chicago, going to a dug-out made by railroad laborers near the tracks of the Michigan Central road tear Millers, Ind. Thurs day night they spent in another dugout near Millers Station, Ind. and there they were surprised by the polio.yesterday. Word was I rought to the police by T. S. Belchers, n tichool toucher, near Clark Station, Ind., thst three, man answering the doserintlon

of those v.aii'.ed for the car barn mur- | <’.ers were living in the dug-out. Eight dc’ectivos were rent to the dug-out 1 I where the suspects were located, and | lin the light that ensued Detective . | Driscoll was shot through the abdo- j ! men. While the Are was at its hottest | the men rushed out and ran a mile | across the country to th? tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad. A switch en- I glnc with a train of cars was close at | hand. and. hurrying up to it. the men I ordered Brakeman Sovea to uncouple | the train from the locomotive. He re- i fused and attempted to take Niedermeier’s revolver from him. The latter instantly sent a bullet through the brakeman s brain, laying him dead in the snow. Springing pant Sovea’s body, the bandits mounted the locomotive with revolvers in hand and ordered the engineer to move out in a hurry, which h > did. going in the direction of Liverpool, Ind. After two miles had been covered the men or dered the engineer to slow up and. leaping to the ground, disappeared in the woods. The news of the frrht.at the dug-out had spread with great rap idity through the country, and by the time the panting men rushed up to the locomotive, a hundred farmers and railroad laborers were after them When they left th? train the men were nearly dead and unable to travel It was easy to track them in the newly fallen snow, and the hunt was speedily closed. The men were seen as they dodged about in the sand dunes, and the farmers, most of whom were armwith double barreled shotguns, opened fire on them. Neiderme’er received a charge full in the head and the blood streamed down his face and Into his eyes, blinding hint so that he could hardly see. A shot grazed Vandine's head, and his wounded leg was weak ened. The posse closed in on all sides and the fugitives surrendered and were hurried into Chicago. The men admitted that Marx had told essential ly the truth in connecting them with the various crimes charged up against theft), and said 'hat they did the killing at the car barns. NOT QUITE SO FAST Panama's Speedy Intentions Have Been Modified a Bit. Panama, Not 28 —The slight opposition to the ratification of the canal treaty between the republic of Panama and the United States, which pre vailed on the isthmus a day or two ago, now appears to have been overcome if not altogether dissipated. The plan outlined in these dispatches yesterday by which the treaty was to be signed and dispatched to Washington on the day of its arrival here, has been abandoned because it is feared that such rapidity of action might give the impression that the treaty had been hastily and inadequately considered, and thus lay the members of the junta open to criticism. It is absolutely certain. however, that the treaty will be ratified without the slightest opposition. In governmental circles here it is now said that the junta as soon as the treaty has been ratified will address a note to Secretary Hay asking that $3,00o,0(io be paid in cash to the Panama government and that SBJidO.OOO shall be t’ansferred in such a manner that it can be Invested, the Interest being payable to the government. It can be said authoritatively that the junta Is still firmly opposed to under taking the responsibility for any portion of Colombia's foreign Indebtedness. Question Is Closed. San Domingo, Nov. 28—United States Minister Powell has refused to acknowledge the provisional govern ment and also denied Its demand for the withdrawal of former Finance Minister Galvan, w-ho, with Judge George Gray of Delaware, had been appointed to arbitrate the Santo Domingo Improvement matter. Minister Powell told the provisional government that the question of arbitrating the claims of the improvement company was now closed and could not be re-opened; that the board of arbitration was now fully constituted according to the conditions of the protocol Weather Good for Trade.
