Messenger Says Revolutionist is Now
Gathering Forces in Laguna Dis
trict Was Never Wounded.
"Silent swrilr'i" Wurli,
"The Silent Kwcdr," as the members of
the .Vabray K'inK came to call Mr. Swen
on. was persist" ntly on the trail of the
pu tridli-m for nearly two years prior to
the trljil In council Muffs which placed
thirteen of the operators In the federal
prison at Leavenworth.
Karly In the prosperous season of the
Council Hluffs 'store's" operations In 190S.
a letter addressed to "Hox 4" was. by the
mistake of the distributing clerk, placed In
the wrong box. This letter was opened
by mistake and returned to the postofflce.
The. letter was written In the peculiar and
Ingenious rode of the Mahray gang and In
Vailing Into the hands of Inspector Swen
on, became the nucleus of the vast col
lection of documents In evidence which he
rarrled Into I'nlted States court to win
convictions more than a year later.
From the time of the discovery of this
letter addressed to the now famous "Box
I" of the Mabray syndicate to the close of
the operations of the gang In Council
Hluffs Swenson was busy about Council
Tluffs.
The tireless Swenson traveled thousands
if miles following up the leads which he
gained from that first letter and those
that fell Into his hands as a result. From
Alma. Mich., w hero "M:ke" C. A. Nelson
was discovered t New Orleans and west
to Seattle he Journeyed, picking up the
ravellngs of fact which wove the fabrlo
t conviction.
When the time was ripe for the arrest
it John C. Mabray, head of the syndicate,
Swenson went with the offloers to the
palatial home of the swindle king at Pu
laski Heights, Little Rock, Ark. There
when Mabray had been taken he con
fiscated the documents In Ms trunk,
striking the last consummate blow against
the men of Illicit millions.
The Expert Witness.
As handwriting expert, especially as an
xpert on the penmanship of H a Herri
man, general manager of the syndicate,
Swenson became an Important witness be
fore the Jury which convlotca the members
of the gang on trial tn Uni'-V" States court
at Council Bluffs.
Swenson was tha keeper of tlx docu
mentary evidence against the Mabray
Vang throughout tha trial. He assisted the
attorneys for the government In the plan
ning of the case and In carrying it through
to a successful completion.
Through. It all the "Silent Swede" ren
dered himself as Inconspicuous as possible.
When congratulated on the morning that
sentence was Imposed Swenson replied:
'It's been a lot of fun."
That was his longest voluntary speech
of tha trial.

The Kearney Commercial club has entered
the fight between the millers of the cen
tral west and the millers of the north. At
a meeting held Monday noon they author
lxed a statement of the facts which have
developed In the fight as they see them
and decided to protect at least the millers
of central Nebraska as much as Is In their
power. The Minneapolis millers have sent
representatives Into this section of the
country and a house to house canvass Is
being made and the agents are taking or
ders, using the action of the government
In prosecuting the manufacturers of
bleached flower as an argument against
the purity of flour made from wheat grown
In the central west. The flour from west
ern wheat Is of a darker hue than that
made from northern whoat and a chemical
process is used to whiten it, which the
millers of the west are willing to prove
does not make It impure.

That the dispatches from Mexico City.
telling of the elopement of Grace Holph

Mexican not beVKuse he wanted the girl,
but that he wanted to cover up a robbery
