Yesterday.
Ed. Page, the American Express

the Party.

Ouciih - . AhANy, VI oe-i eSh

morning, having in custody three
prisoners sentenced TO terms of inn
prisonment in the penitentiary. Two
of the men, Ed. Bartlett ami Frank
Delay, are only ordinary criminals,
and 60 up for three years each for
larceny in a dwelling. They are
toughs, though, and to prevent any
possibility of escape, they were secure
ly ironed.
The third prisoner was Ed. Page,
the young man who stole $40, 900
from the American Express COM
pany last winter, while filing the
position ofagent at Golden City. The
theft occasioned considerable comment
at the time, and Pages friends
insisted that he was crazy.
He was arraigned at special term of
and on a plea of guilty to the charge
of grand larceny. was sentenced to the
penitentiary for two years.
A BAzoo reporter conversed with
Page during his sojourn here yester-
day and found him quite communlca-
tive. He said that before the theft ne
realized that he would soon be dis
charged, and fearing his wife and two
children would come to want, he de-
termined to steal the first large snm
that came into his possession. Fin
ally il became necessary for him TO
handle a package containing $1,000
and he appropriated it. He buried
81 900 in an Old oyster can in the
woods near Golden City, and the re,
mainder he secreted about his person,
after he had donned female attire.
He managed to get out Of Barton
county without being detected, and at
once started for St. ,Louis, but was
identified by Detective Ersklne
while on the train, en- route
to the Future Great. He was
at once arrested and the SIS, 900 taken
from his bosom. On his return Il
Golden City the remaining s7,OO'
were secured, and as the company re
covered all It's money his sentence wa
made the minimum within the law.

The truth of the matter is that the
people who control fashionable society
in this country stand ready to bow at
anything that bears title, with all
obsequiousness of the gentlemen OF ia

GONE FOR A BRIDE.
Conductor Kollert Starts on a
Long Journey to See
His Girl.
He Reaches Seda1ia and Comes
Very Near Being Robbed
at the Depot.

There arrived from Denver, Col
orado, yesterday, a Missouri Pacific
conductor who, though little known
here, has quite an eventful history,
and one which, if written, would
make a book both large and interest
ing, though its hero is yet ayoung man.
Mr.. E. B. Kollert is about 80
years old, but has been almost all
over the globe, and twice has visited
his former home, Leipsic, since he
crossed the''waters first, some fourteen
years ago.
Though left to his own resources,
Mr.. Kollert has risen from the ranks
to the position of conductor, which be
has filled acceptably for several years
In California and the west. At pres
emit he is employed on the Denison
division of the Missouri Pacific, and
is here on leave of absence, his OBJ
iective point boiug his vld hume, L zip
sic, Saxony. where bright and long
ing pair of eyes and a yearn
ing heart await him, as he
goes for the purpose of claiming his
boyhood's choice, and will, on his ar
rival, be married to her. After a
short stay he and his bride will return
to California, where they will make
their future home.
Some three months ag, Mr.. Kollert
fell from his train and dislocated hi;
left shoulder. He was brought to the
hospital at this place and treated unit
his recovery. So strong had become
his attachment to the officers and sis
tiers of the institution, because Of their
kindness while he was an inmate
that on his arrival yesterday he de
sired to visit them. Leaving his va
ise in the car in charge of a fellow
passenger, he started. Shortly aftel
he left, orders came to change carr
and the ftp. did so, leaving Mr.. kol
Ierfs satchel behind. In the satche
was his passports, money and valuable
papers. and it was not long until SOM
one, seeing it alone in the car, apprO
priated it.
Fortunately for Kollert, Othce
Mason was, as usual, close upon m
line of duty, and seeing the man walk
ing off with a valise, stopped
him and inquired where b
got it. The thief said 1t was not hi

was taking it to him.
