No- Had Been in Gustody of Nicollet County Sheriff For Over Five Years Evil Genius Wh Constructed it is Now Doing Time at Stillwater. After lying in the ground for five years, says the St.

Peter Herald, the dynamite bomb, that was treated with such marked respect by lawyers and witnesses when the celebrated Loeffelmacher case was being tried, has been destroyed. Sheriff Olson, who has been its custodian ever since it was taken from the threshing machine owned by Mans Winegar of Ridgely township, superintended its demise, and the innocent-looking piece of pipe, which contained enough of the explosive to wreck a large building, now rests at the bottom of the Minnesota river. The order for its destruction, which was issued by Judge Olsen, recalls one of the most remarkable criminal cases ever known in Nicollet county. For a year or more before the trial there had been a carnival of crime in Ridgely township, the offenses ranging from sending obscene letters through the mails to cattle poisoning and arson. In time John A.

Loeffelmacher.was arrested and at the November term of court in 1902 he was indicted on the charge of setting fire to a barn owned by JohnKienlen, and also for endangering the lives of human beings by placing a dynamite bomb in a threshing machine owned by John Mans and Adam Winegar. Loeffelmacher pleaded guilty to the first charge and was convicted of the second, and Judge Webber sentenced him to seven years in Stillwater for Mother: I Johnny: foney in." PANIC IN THE NURSERY.

When he was on trial the infernal machine was used as an exhibit in the case, and after his conviction it was turned over to Sheriff McMillan and by him to Sheriff Olsen, at that time jailor and deputy sheriff. The latter buried it in the rear of the old jail, but the fact that the building is to be sold or rented by the county made its removal necessary, and last week a petition was sent to Judge Olsen asking for permission to destroy the bomb.

He issued an order instructing Sheriff Olson to destroy the exhibit "without endangering life or property," and last Monday morning that officer, accompanied by John Dickie, unearthed the pipe. It was fully three feet in length and had percussion caps at either end. When these had been removed by Mr. Dickie the pipe was found to be filled with dynamite. Mr.

Dickie was not hampered by a crowd of the curious while he was unscrewing the caps, and after the ticklish operation had been performed the pipe was carried to the river.

His Reception in Washington a Revelation to Everybody. For the last few weeks the Minneapolis Journal has been canvassing the sentiments of leading Minnesota republicans and democrats with respect to their presidential preferences and here is finds: Out of 741 republicans interviewed Roosevelt was the first choice of 488, Taft following with 142, Hughes with 48 and La Follette with 39. Taft leads among the second choice favorites, receiving 356 votes to 112 for Hughes and 75 for La Follette. Johnson is easily the favorite among the democrats, notwithstanding Mr. Bryan's admitted grip on the party throughout the nation- Out of 600 democratic workers who were interviewed the Minnesota executive was the choice of 340, and the Journal says that the poll by no means fully indicates his actual strength.

If all the expressions had been taken with the understanding that Johnson was to be considered an active candidate the result would have been almost unanimous in favor of Johnson. Another significant fact disclosed by the poll is the large proportion of democrats who are absolutely opposed to Bryan. With fully one third of those interviewed the sentiment seemed to be "anybody but the Nebraskan." In Washington, where the governor spent the week as a representative of Minnesota at the rivers and harbors convention, the reception accorded him was such as to attract national attention. Leading democratic members of the house and senate sought him out in order to size him up and when they got through with the job they unanimously agreed that Johnson was a man with whom they might hope to win. Some even went so far as to say that the nomination was not closed by any means and that before convention time the way might open for some other candidate than Bryan, and they said this too with Bryan right in their midst.

Saturday night the governor was a guest of honor at one of the famous dinners of the Gridiron Club. He made a speech there which is said to have been a wonderful one. As he concluded, Senator Foraker, who sat fifty feet away from him, hurried up, reached over the table and extended his earnest congratulations. Senator Lodge, Secretary Cortelyou and other 8 Remember the place. republican leaders immediately followed suit and the dinner soon became, what no one expected, a regular Jonnson ovation.

So deep was the impression made by the oratory of the Minnesotan that Editor Nelson of the Kansas City Star, the greatest newspaper in the Missouri valley, at once announced publicly that he was henceforth for Johnson for the presidential nomination and would do all he could to break Bryan's hold upon Missouri, Arkansas. Oklahoma and Kansas. Editor Grasty of the Baltimore News likewise threw the Johnson banner to the breeze and threatened earnestly to start a Johnson movement in Maryland and Virginia at once. All this, while not final perhaps, shows clearly the desire of the leaders to break away from Bryan, and it shows too that Johnson will be the leader if once the Nebraskan is sidetracked.

Musser was interested went to the wall. Jessup, one of the partners died shortly thereafter, and Musser, the other partner, was subsequently indicted, charged by a grand jury with having received deposits after he knew the bank was insolvent. Last week a petit jury tried his case before Judge Olsen at Marshall and the verdict was one of acquittal. Christmas Goods Do your Christmas Buying Early. Evidently the jury believed that Jessup was wholly to blame and in this view the Tracy and Marshall papers unanimously agree.

In short, it seems to be the opinion that Musser was the victim of misplaced confidence in his partner and that he as well as other depositors was the loser by Jessup's duplicity.
