.Might Be Made Over
: Country Roads.
St. Tatil, Minn., Jan. 8 (Special
Telegram.') Governor Burnquist
took. under advisement the case of
William and Mike Finn of St. Paul,
for whom extradition was asked by
police 'officials of Omaha, who al:
lege that the Finn brothers were
implicated in the daylight robbery of
a bank at Benson, a suburb of Oma
hr,, December 31.
The presentation of evidence was
concluded hate Thursday with the
examination of three witnesses in
troduced by Marshall Eberstein,
chief of police at Omaha, and clos
ing arguments by Patrick Ryan, at
torney for the Finn brothers, and
County Attorney R. D. O'Brien, rep
resenting the Nebraska officials.
Omaha Witnesses Testify.
Mr. A. V Hclbing of Omoha. the
first witness presented, stated that
she positively identified William
Finn as one of the robbers. Mrs.
Hclbing testified that she acted as
bookkeeper at the bank and that she
vak in the rear of the office when
the rctbbers entered," bu,t- went for
ward and .was forced to join the
others when the bandits ordered
them to stand with their faoeH
against the wall.
On cross-examination she de
clared that she did not get what she
described as a "long, healthy stare"
at the suspect, but did get a good
look while, he was 'moving around
tc bank, and later, she said, while
lie was in the vault. Mrs. Helbing
picked Finn out as the man from
among those attending the hearing.
She was unable fo identify Mike
Finn as one of those implicated in
the robbery.
Identify -Both Men.
William F. Hints of Benson, who
testified that he was employed by
the bank, identified William Finn as
the man who had covered him with
a pistol and Mike -Finn as the man
who had covered bank officials. He
also picked the Finns out without
having them identified.
Tommy Milton, St. Paul auto
race driver, testified that an average
of 40 miles an hour might be made
over country roads in the winter in
an- automobile. He was called to
substantiate the contention of the
Omaha people that it would have
been possible to have driven from

Expect Ruling Today.
Attorney Ryan, for the defense, in
closing his case, declared that after
the testimony he produced Wednes
day in seeking to. establish an alibi
for the Finns, there was no need to
bring out any more witnesses. A
number of witnesses testified then
that the Finn brothers were in St.
Paul New Year's eve, and attended
a watch party given by their sister.
The case against the Finns was
closed by arguments reviewing
their identification by those in the
bank when the robbery occurred. It
was stated the hearing of the case
before Governor Burnquist was to
establish a possibility of guilty on
their part, and if such was found
to exist, requisition for their extra
ditioifshould he honored.
It is expected that the governor
will announce his decision in the
matter Friday. ' .

Connorsville, Ind., in 1842, and three
years later the family moved to
Lyons, la., where a few years later
his father died leaving the family in
destitute circumstances. He helped
support his mother and four smaller
children, but each winter he man
aged to get some schooling by at
tending a log school house con
ducted by a backwoods teacher.
He attended high school in Dav
enport when 16 years old. paying
his expenses by manipulating - a
bucksaw. He attended the Sate
University of Iowa two years, but
was forced to quit when it was
moved. He was disappointed, but
continued his law studies at home
and was admitted, to the bar in an
examination given by Leslie M.
Shaw, wijo was later governor of
Iowa at the same time Mr. Savage
was governor of Nebraska.
Scout in Civil War.
During the Civil war Mr. Savage
disappeared from his home in Iowa
following a conversation with a
wounded soldier. His name ap
peared upon no muster rolls. He
served in no organization, but he
stayed several years, coming back
as unostensiously as he left. "I
have no war record," Tie frequently
said, "and I wouldn't brag of it if
I had." His duties are reported to
have been scouting in the mountains
cf Sargent, Neb., and in the scantily
of Atlanta, as an associate of Wil
liam F. Cody, "Buffalo Bill." Army
commanders tell of his valor while
serving under Grant and Sherman.
In 1879 he established the town
hi Sargent, Ne., and in the scantily
settled country the Indians needed
attention. He saw they got it. Later
the cattle rustlers grew troublesome
and with Mr. Savage as a leader the
law-abiding citizens soon exter
minated the offenders. Two silent
rides left seven men swinging on
cottonwood treas near a buffalo
wallow in Custer county and peace
for the cattlemen was assured."
Governor Savage was largely in
terested in the grain and cattle busi
ness in western Nebraska until 16
years ago, when he moved to Ta
coma and entered the lumber busi
ness at. Eatonville.

London Press Differs
With Hoover About
Europe's Requirements
London, Jan. 8. The evening
newspapers, commenting on the
statement of Herbert C. Hoover,
concerning the financial and food
requirements of Europe, take vari
ous view points. The Westminster
Gazette says:
"It has long been obvious to close
observers that the standing check to
American sympathy on the finan
cial situation is the persistent mili
tarism of the allies and the conse
quent economic embarrassment."
"Mr. Hoover," declares the Globe,
"is looking at the matter purely
from the American viewpoint. He
does not desire that his country
men remfmber that they are citi
zens of the world as well as of the
United States. The emergency is
urgent. We are sure that the dispo
sition of the American people will
be to treat this matter, not as a
bargain between keen business men,
but as a difficulty to be settled
among friends."
The Standard says:
"Mr. Hoover sounds unsympa
thetic, but it is good hard sense.
There is whatever in ar
ranging loans and credits if the only
result is to increase waste."
Says the Pall Mall Gazette:
"Mr. Hoover throws a bold douche
upon the pauper spirit in which
some parts of Europe are disposed
to turn to America."
