What is the Matter With the In~telIigcncor'

10 Tic Editor Of he Register:
SIR:-One would naturally think that
Gen. Golf would select the paper that has
been his most ardent supporter when he
has n large lot of Job work" to do, yet
we find him employing the bitter enemy
of that paper mt u time when work IS very
desirable, to the exclusion of his natural
organ, and building up the opposition.
No doubt he feels assured that do what he
may he will have the support Of the Intel
~Iigencer, and is boldly bidding for the labor
vote. The trick is 80 thin that
no one will be deceived by it. The
working man knows how much General
Golf cares for them after his vote il count
ed. You will have 10 try some other
game, General. The man who depends
upon his good looks 80 much that the dis
trict must be flooded with his portrait
taken some fifteen years ago. like a bur
lesque actress or Barnum's museum, will
find that card will not win this time. To
use a very common expression, it is played
out. ID.

TIE ENTIRE GANG Gagged.
Witrock's Alleged Motive For RObbiug the
Express Car.

CHICAGO, December 29.-COl. e. l..
Weir, Manager Of the Western Division OF
tine Adams Express Company, said to-day;
We've got every last one directly or re-
motely connected with the express robbery.
The wOrking-up of the case was one OF the
shrewdest pieces of detectives skill in the
history of this country. Six OF the gang
are now in custody. We had seven, but
let one 20. His name is Burnam, but We
had nothing particular 10 hold him on.
Haight planned the whole job, and Wit
rock executed it; the Others are Onl " ac-
cessories after the act. Col. Weir does
not believe that Messenger FOtheringham
was implicated. "WitrOck," said he, lis
a bright fellow who was never before en-
gtged in a criminal act. The motive that
led him to commit this robbery was no
doubt affection for his mother, who, about
4 year ago, mUrtgaged her LeavenwOrth
Kansas home for 81, 100, and gave the
money tn her son to start in the coal busi-
ness at Chicago. The mortgage was about
due and WitrOck, desperate at the thought
that his mother should suffer for his care
lessness, Joined Haight in the robbery. Wit
rock comes of excellent people. THERE'S no
sentimentality boom about that. lie
has nerve, too. When he reached Kansas
City after the robbery, he had all the
booty in a satchel carrying it around with
him. While sitting in saloon with Oscar
Cook. two policemen walked in. My
Cod exclaimed Wittrock, they've got
me- Then cycling the hobbies second
he beckoned them over and invited them
to drink and eat oysters, saying in answer
to one ofthem, who seemed amazed at the
large order: oh, I've got lots of stuff.
I'm the man who robbed the Frisco eX-
press night before last The police
thought the remark was bluff. The Sc
cret of our success is that we spared no ex-
pense in hunting the robbers. The amount
stolen was exactly S2,7OO, and of that
amount about $40, 900 will be recovered.
Mrs Haight has also been arrested. She
has in her possession about Sl2,O of the
stolen money

HARD SLUGGING.

Billy Myer knocks Out Charles DAILY With
Terrific Blow on the Neck.
STREATOR, ILL, December ga fierce
prize fight occurred between Charles DAILY,
of St. Louis, and Billy Myer, of StreatOr,
at Woodford, a small station on the Illinois
Central Railroad, last night. The fight
was for $500 a side, and to the finish.
From the first to the tenth round Daily
tried to wind Myer, hardly at
tempting to strike him in the
face; but finding this of no
avail he changed his tactics, and tried to
get in Knockout blow. In the fifteenth
round Daily hit Myers terrific blow be-
tween the eyes, but Myer came to the
scratch on time At this time both men
were covered with blood, their eyes al
most swelled shut, but they came TO time
at the call, and hard fighting was the rule
until the thirty-second round when Myer
struck DAILY powerful blow on the neck,
which spun him around like a top,
and he fell with outstretched arms
on the floor, from which he was unable to
rise at the call of time. After allowing him
five seconds more the fight was given to
Mver. Besides the stakes the winner re-
ceived the gate receipts. Daily had the ad-
vantage both in weight and height. Daily
tipped the scales at l46 and Myer at l4O.
