Bass of Martin Bass filed an application In the Criminal Court for a writ of habeas corpus demanding of Chiefs Harrlgan and Desmond to show cause why they should not release James Kenny, alias James Canny, the alleged highwayman and trainrobber. Mr. Bass asserts that Kenny is restrained of his liberty without due process of law and he Is held for tne purpose of taking him out of the city without legal process. Mr. Bass says he has not seen the requisition papers which Chief Denges of Lincoln, claims to have for the prisoner, and unless he can produce them In court to-morrow Kenny will not be taken to Lincoln to morrow night as arranged.

Two young men called up a druggist late on the night of May 25, and asked him to fill a prescription. While he was doing so he wrs touched on the shoulder and looking around he saw a revolver within two inches of his head. The men demanded $500 which they said was in the safe. luckily, the money had been deposited during the day, but the robbers would not believe the clerk, and they opened the safe. Only $13 was found in the drawer.

In their rage thev almost wrecked the store and left. Good descriptions were given of the men and they were tracked for months but finally threw the police off their track. After the Glendale train robbery of Nov. 30 Chief Desmond looked over his list of thieves, studied their tactics and concluded that Kenny knew something of the robbery, or at least of six or eight daring highway robberies and safe blowings which occurred about the same time here, in Omaha and Lincoln. Kenny was seen here on Jan.

21, and arrested on a charge of vagrancy, but he gave bond and was released. He evidently knew the police would find cause to hold him on a more serious charge, as he locked himself In his room for four days with the Idea of throwing the (officers off the trail, but the ruse failed. He was watched and on Jan. 27 again arrested on a charge of associating with thieves. Chief Desmond having evidence that he was with Hedspeth, Slye and WTllson at various times.

Chief Desmond succeeded In holding him until a few days ago when the Lincoln druggist, Henry Ecker, arrived here and positively identified -Kenny as the man who held film up on May 25. Chief Dlngis was then sent for, and he arrived last night' with all the necessary papers. It was the Intention to take Kenny back to Lincoln to-night; but Mr. Martin will probably cause a delay by his application for a writ of habeas corpus. It is said the police have in their possession a letter written by Kenny to a friend In Omaha inviting them to come to St.

Louis and work" the town.as there was "good grafting aere." A Daring- Burglary. Mrs. Charles Dehner of Second Carondelet avenue near Chouteau avenue reported a very uaring burglary to the police yesterday afternoon. She said she left her house at 2 o'clock to do spine shopping and returned at 6 o'clock. While she was away a burglar broke in the back door and ransacked every room in the house opening the drawers and rifling the closets.

He carried away ten gold rings and $4 which were In the dresser when she left the house and also stole some clothing. The Case Dismissed. The case of George M. Rackliffe, charged with obtaining money under false pretenses from Cohn Morrow In a horse trade, was dismissed by Judge Claiborne to-day. M'KINKEY'S $1 DOG.

The Value of a Fox Hound Settled in Court. Moberlt, Mo. Feb. 4. A good deal of the time of the Moberly term of the Randolph County Circuit Court was taken up yesterday and the day before in the trial of a celebrated dog case, known as McKlnney vs.

Hardin. McKlnney Is a well-known lawyer of this city, and Hardin a wealthy farmer of near Renlck, this county. McKlnney lent his dog to some hunters who overran his farm. Some of his sheep were killed, and, in turn. Hardin killed McKlnney's dog.

The latter brought suit before a Kenlck Justice of the peace for $50 and won the suit. The defendant appealed to the Circuit Court. It was tried before a jury and late yesterday evening a verdict of $1 was given In favor of McKlnney. Hardin will pay the dollar and the costs (the latter ammountlng to over $100), but swears vengeance against all fox hunters In the future, who he says will have to Jump their game on other property than his. He will take the proper legal steps to give notice to all hunters, and if they encroach upon his rights he will set the screws to them.

A number of prominent hunters, whose dogs formea part of the pack at the time McKlnney's dog was killed, were deeplv interested in the suit. The Jury was composed of farmers. There had been severe fights over the case not before the court, but It Is believed the recent verdict will settle the whole matter. AMONG THE BB0KE3S.

Ten and a half blocks of vacant ground In the southern part of the city, property owned by the estate of Dr. Edward Rose, deceased, an eminent physician of St. Louis In his day, has been purchased for $50,000 by a local syndicate represented by Henry Hlem-enz, who will hold the title as trustee for the buyers. There are fifteen acres In the plot, with an aggregate frontage of 8,800 feet. It Is located between Arsenal street on the south and Pestalozzl on the north, the lots 127 feet deep, having a frontage on Texas, Ohio, Indiana, Calafornla, Oregon, Nebraska, Gravols, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Michigan and Compton avenues.

Mr. Hiemenz says there Is no lot in the plot that is not within 200 feet of an electric street car line. Along Its eastern border runs the South St. Louis line over Jefferson avenue. The California avenue route passes throunh the center of it.

and the Arsenal street line, out to King's highway, at the southwest corner of Tower Grove park, traverses the southern border of the property, three lines of rapid transit that bring the whole tract within speedy, easy and pleasant reach of the business center. These roads have already been the means of building up the whole section surrounding this Rose property. Mr. Hiemenz says It Is the only vacant property of any considerable de-menslons anywhere in that locality, and It, too, would have been built up before now, only from the fact that, heretofore, the owners, Miss Ida Rose and her sister, Mrs. W.

C. Uhrl, could not be persuaded to dispose of the realty. In the tract there are ten business corners, for which there will be a demand, in view of the change in ownership, that will shortly lead to building up all the vacant lots. Unlike a good deal of the South St. Louis property, all this part of the Rose estate lies high and at grade, thoie being practically no cutting or filling to prepare it for building.

ONE OF THE NEW HOTELS. A few days since It was stated that negotiations were pending for the construction of a hotel building on the northeast corner of Lindeli and Vandeventer avenues. Mr. J. V.

S. Barret who recently acquired the property from D. P. Slattery, says the house, to be a six-story, fire-proof structure of 200 rooms, has been leased for twenty years to Mrs. Franklin.

Work upon this West End Improvement Is to be commenced within the next ninety days and will be pushed to completion with as little delay as possible. A NEW INDUSTRIAL SITE.

The first thing done by the American Protective Association this morning when the seventy-five delegates assembled in Druids' Hall was to pass resolutions upon the death of one of their members, Col.

Georjre C. Minor of Chicago, who expired suddenly while debating a question in the meeting yesterdsy afternoon. Col. Minor was feeble and excitable. The convention Is being held in the fourth story of Druids' Hall.

He tolled up the long flights of stairs and was exhausted when he entered the lodge room. Before he had recovered, the right of a delegate who came with him to sit In the lodge room was questioned, and he Joined the debate with warmth. In the middle of his soeech he staggered, stopped talking, sat down and died in a few minutes. His body will be taken back to Chicago. The convention next heard the report of the Executive Committee.

It claimed that the order had Increased enormously in the last six months, and now numbered over 11,000 In the whole country. There was some applause at this which was checked by the chairman. The reports of the other officers followed. Reading of them was stopped for dinner and was resumed this afternoon. It is intended to elect officers after they are finished and then adjourn to-night.

The convention to meet May 11 at Jefferson City to elect delegates to the National Democratic Convention will nave an abundance of wrung material to select from. Candidates are bobbing up all over the State, and as three months time remains before the convention the Indications are that the list will grow to immense proportions.

The convention, which meets In Jefferson City In May, will select four delegates-at-large and two lor each of the Congressional districts. By that time Missouri will have the new Fifteenth District located, and this as well as the others will have Its two delegates. This will give the State thirty-four votes In the National Convention. While It Is considered an honor worth striving for to go to the convention as a delegate, It is couriered a far greater distinction to go go as a Among the names mentioned for at-large delegates are Gov. Francis, Senator Vest, Chairman C.

The Mayor's friends are urging hlmvand If they don't elect him as a delegate-at-large they will very probably choose him as one of the Eighth District representatives or at least make an effort In that direction.

Even if he should be elected the Mayor would not go as his departure from the city would give the ever watchful combine a chance to act. ST. LOUIS CANDIDATES. Chairman Maffltt Is an earnest candidate for a seat in the convention as a and bis chances of success are cocsitiered very good. He will.

Gist Illalr is also spoken of, but he has not declared himself. Judge McCaffery and Ed De-voy are opposed to Hill and Cleveland on the theory that the factional differences in the Empire State will prevent either from carrying It.

Most of the established League Clubs in this city have already elected delegates to the State Convention, which meets next week In Sedalla, and the Silks and hoodlums are now Industriously at work organizing new clubs, to get additional representation in the Convention.

Fllley has been sending out blanks right and left among his friends urging the formation of new clubs and the opposition has been doing the same. As fast as the delegates are elected their names are entered on Secretary Hall's record which will stand on th official list of delegates until the Committee on Credentials parses upon the contests, which promise to be plentiful. Republican politicians of the Fllley stripe are laughing to day over the visit of Chairman Gus Davis. West End I'ostmaster Ed Fox and other fcllks to Kansas City. Ther went there a couple of days ago to confer with the leaders at that section and assure them that President Reynolds did not desire re-election and that St.

Louis would support a Kansas City man for President of the League. Fllley 's followers claimed that the Silks are frightened, and are stopping at nothing to secure perfect control of the approaching convention. The story has gone out that de ole man" had It all fixed to secure harmony In the convention by capturing it and running It to suit hlmseir. and this Is what the administration supporters want to prevent.

Prosecuting' 'Attorney Dierfeea Refuses to Consent to Her Proposition Kenny's Attorneys Apply for a Writ of Habeas Corpus to Secure His Release The Holtkamp Jury Fail to Agree. Attornoy Jeff D. Storts, as the representative of Mrs. Agnes Kuhlman, made a proposition this morning to pay all costs If the warrants against George Kose and Frank Goble, charged with criminal assault, were withdrawn. The assault in question is alleged to have been committed on Saturday night about half past 11 o'clock.

Mrs. Agnes Kuhlman, a widow, was at her home. No. 318 Marlon street, when Kose, a huckster, and Goble, a tinner, came in and made, she alleged, an Indecent proposition to her, which she refused and ordered the men out of the house. Then, according to her story, they used violence, and In the struggle the furniture of the room was badly smashed.

The two men, she alleges, then grossly maltreated her. While the men were still In the room the brother of the woman, a young man named Fred, came In and caught one of the men, while the other escaped, only to be arrested later. The woman appeared at the Four Courts on Monday and swore out the warrants and gave the information as above related, except that she went Into details more minutely and told a very straight story. This morning she appeared with Attorney Storts and acquiesced to the proposal that she would pay all costs If the case was dismissed. Clerk Fitzgerald said that he would consider no such proposition even for an Instant, and called in Prosecutlng-Attorney Dlerkes.

Mr. Dlerkes took the woman aside and asked her If the statements she had made when swearing to the warrants were true, and she said they were. Then he asked her If she bad been approached and offered money, and she said that the wife of one of the men had come to her about it and cried a good deal, so she had decided not to prosecute. Mr. Dlerkes refused to consider the proposition and warned tne woman to be very careful how she conducted herself In the matter, as she would lay herself liable to prosecution for perjury.

Th9 Holtkamp Jury Disagree. The Jury in the case of Herman Holtkamp, charged with murder in the second degree, was out all night without arriving at a verdict In the case. At 11:30 o'clock the Jury sent down word that It was unable to agree. At 12 o'clock the Jury still could not come to an agreement and was discharged. The case is one of a saloon killing which occurred last May.

Herman Holtkamp opened a saloon on Mullanphy and Hogan streets and had been running It some time, when one Sunday evening three men came In and ordered beers. One of the men said to charge it and that he would pay next day. Holtkamp said he did not know him and a person standing by said that the man was Mcllale. Holtkamp then said that the drinks were on the bouse. The man Richard Mc-Hale sat down to a table with three others and began a game of cards and had some drinks.

They did not finish their game, but started out when words passed betweenMcHaleand Holtkamp, the latter saying he could give Mcllale no credit, as he had refused It to his wife and was already a considerable amount out. McHale and his companion abused Holtkamp and McHale became violent and made a move as If to draw a pistol. Holtkamp, who was badly scared, drew his pistol and bred, killing McHale. He was tried for murder In the second degree. The judge Instructed for murder in the second degree, manslaughter or The Jury In the Holtkamp murder trial failed to come to an agreement under rather peculiar circumstances.

There were eleven lor conviction and a penelty of $100 fine and three months in jali and one for acquittal on the self defense theory. The entire eleven argued with the one that It would be better to let the man off with J100 fine and three months In Jail than to hang the Jury and submit him to the danger and expense of a new trial. They argued all night -and half of to-day without moving the man for acquittal. The result was that the Jury was hung and a new trial will ensue. So that the man Is stiu in danger of at least ten years In the penitentiary.

Every Prospect of a Very Heavy Cut in the Price of Whisky A Great Fund in Hand for the Purchase of Distilleries and for Dee in the Comine Whisky War. Chicago, 111. Feb. 4 The meeting of the Board of Directors of the Whisky Trust ad-Journed last night. The Whisky Trust has declared war on the Independent distillers in an open declaration given to the press, and unless the resolves of the combine are a delusion and a snare whisky will very soon not only flow as freely but as cheaply as water.

This does not appear to be a "bluff," either. On the contrary It Is a well -settled pollqy, so tar as one can determine from the facts at hand, to even further bear the stock of the Trust. It Is a very well authenticated fact that the trust, which has been paying but about 6 per cent per annum on Its $35,000,000 of stock, could have paid double that amount but for the policy adopted by the directors to accumulate a vast fund for the purpose of purchasing other distilleries and extending the power of the combine. Eastern stockholders have been booming the stock In the hope of marketing their shares at a large profit, while Western holders of these securities have been content to hold on and await a wider extension of the Trust's business. It is estimated that considerably more than half the stock of the company is held In the East, and yet the policy of the directors has been controlled by Western men.

It was decided to pass a 2-cent reduction resolution, and it was done In this language Resolved, That the basis price of the product of this company be reduced 2 cents per proof gallon at once. This step had been expected, but the board did not stop with that. They had determined to make war on the Independent distilleries to the knife, and they unanimously adopted the following: Resolved. That it-is the determined policy of this board that the price of the product of this company-be put and maintained at such point as will enable it to hold its trade at all hazards, and for this purpose the officers of this company be and are authorized to put down prices to such points as they may from time to time deem necessary. This Is the first time that the Directors have given the officers power to regulate prices, but as quick action Is necessary in the war now to be inaugurated, this has been done.

The following gentlemen will therefore regulate the price of trust whisky until the board meets again: J. B. Greenhut, H. L. Terrell, P.

J. Heanessy, W. N. Hobart. 6PBINGFIELD JOTTINGS.
