CAPTURE OF A DESPERATE CRIMINAL ,

How the Prisoner
Acts.
The man who was arrested Sunday aftsr-
noon on n chnrpo of having broken into a
postolllco out west Is found to bo J. C. Kelly ,
who was mentioned in Sunday's BII : : us
having broken Into the postoftlco at Albu
querque , N. M. , and stolen $15,000. Kelly is
the brother of Contractor Michael J. Kelly
of this city. He was called to the Bluffs
from Denver , where ho has been living for
tut past six j curx , by the death of his father
and mother , which occurred within thrco
days of ono another about u week ago. Kelly
Is In the county jail and is held under sti let
surveillance , orders having been Issued by
Commissioner Hunter of the United States
couit not to allow nny ono to sco htm.
When Kelly was llrst arrested the police
were of the opinion that they had the wrong
man. All efforts to tnnglo him up In the
story ho told were unsuccessful. lie stated
that ho had been in Denver for the past few
years engaged In the mining business. This
Is the only point where his story showed any
traces of improbability. His hands nro as
soft us a woman's , ns much unlike those
of a professional miner as could
bo Imagined. When Inspector Patter
son , of the postal department , wus
hero last week , ho said that Kelly
had another name by which ho was known
fully us much as by the ono by which ho goes
when ho Is In the city of his birth. That
niiino Is Charles Gavin. Kelly was put
thruugh a vigorous pumping process In order
to get Him to divulge , If possible , what ho
know of the immo Gain. . Ho protested that
his name was Kelly , nnd nothing clso , but
mid that ho know a man named Gavin , who
ifept ono of the largest gambling houses in
Denver. The police iiro of the opinion that
the si7o of the callous spots on their pi ison-
cr's hands would indicate that his occupation
wus that of a gambler much rather than a
miner.
Kelly'sanest ' took placoundor rather sensa
tional clroumstances. H. V. Sleud , ono of the
mail can lors , went to the house of Contractor
Kelly , 714 Bluff street , with a letter that had
como , addressed to J. C. Kelly , and bore n
special delivery stamp. Kelly signed his
name to the book which had been prepared
for Urn purpose , and the mail carrier left the
House. Ho ran all the way to the pollco sta
tion , with the visions of JoOU reward
dancing before his eyes so that ho could
hardly sea ttio sidewalk. Ho finally
arrived at the station , and said that he had
seen the man who , it is said , had already
killed tin oo polli union , nnd was currently re
ported to bo the most bloodthirsty villain in
the country. At the station there was some
thing of a debate as to whether more than
four policemen would bo needed. It was
finally decided that Captain Martin , accom
panied by two mail carriers , each armed to
the teeth , would bo all that were really
necessary to bring the icd-handod monster to
time. Long before the house was reached
the mail curriers com me need to feel in their
pockets for their guns. When the house was
reached Captain Martin mustered his
forces , and the whole company marched
upon his despcradoshlp with their
nickel-plated revolvers , glistening In the
sun. He surrendered without a word ,
and then it was that they began to
suspect that the inspector , when ho had
told them that Kelly thought no moro of
killing n man than most men did of eating
their breakfast , had been slightly rattloJ.
According to appearances , slnco Kelly has
boon in charge of the olllcers , ho is anything
but a desperate man. Onn of the strongest
Indications that ho has a bad record is. in tno
opinion of the police , the fact that no has
mndo not tno slightest effort to
set himself right by telegraphing to
his friends In Denver. They think
that if he bad nny way of proving his good
character to would not allow himself to bo
kept In Jail twenty-four hours without nt
least trying to do so.
The postal authorities from Denver uro ex
pected to arrive in the city today , ns also nro
United States District Attorney D. B. Miles
of Corydon and United States Marshal Miller
of Hod Oak. Kelly will bo given a prelimin
ary examination this morning in the olllco of
Commissioner Htuitur and It Is likely that the
whole mystery will be denied up nnd it will
bo known detlnltely whether Kelly is ono of
the most desperate criminals , or only plain J.
C. Kelly. The police nro tolerably certain it
will not bo the latter.

The formal spring opening of the Boston
store occurod last evening nnd although the
most mcagro announcement was made In the
daily papers about half of the people of Coun
cil Bluffs and many from Omaha visited tlu
big establishment during the evening. The
display wus well worthy of the attention it
attracted. The Indies were especially de
lighted with the brilliant array of hamlsomo
goods and many of them were extra extrava
gant tu their pralso. The new spring
and summer fabrics this season con
tain so many radical departures from
foimer styles that such n display as Messrs.
Fotnorlngham , Whltclaw & Co. arranged fet
the public wa something In the nature of u
surprise to ninny , and the ladles spent u
prolltublo ovonlug in crowding through the
long aisles In the various departments. The
display was by far the linost the Boston store
has yet made. Tlio arrangement of the goods
was artistic and beautiful. In thu ladles'
diess goods department on the llrst floor all
the beautiful hpring and summer fabrics
were displayed in bewildering profusion ,
draped with cunning skill to brine out the
bounty of the goods In both texture and color.

skill was shown , making the display an ex <

COME TO THE
FAT MAN'S ' PICNIC
AT HELLMAN'S ,
WE have just received an invoice of clothing which includes the
entire spring and summer productions ot an eastern clothing
house , The goods are cheaper than dirt , but there are too many extra
large sizes and short and fat men's suits and overcoats. We'll give you
E BIGGEST PICNIC
On prices of the goods , and
We'll guarantee to fit a man even if
He weighs 400 pounds , So if
You Large Fellows
Want clothes you'd better come quick.
Our $5 and $7.50 suit table-will get another boost out of this invoice.
And when you talk about suits at $8 and $10 , the world is ours.
Out of about our two thousand 95 cent hats there are about three
hundred left , and they havn't been very good days for hats either ,
We'll get no more when they're gone.
Cause why ? hat tactories don't bust every day.
We are selling four times as many children's suits as we did a year
ago to-day.
As ever yours ,
At the old stand ,
