A CRUEL CHRISTMAS
For Louis Wiley-He Accident.
ally Killed Himself While
Hunting.

Yesterday morning. Louis Wiley,
sixteen years old, son of Thomas
Wiley, who resides on a farm two
miles north of SmiIhton, went out
hunting in company with boy named
Stotts. They had good luck
and killed big lot of
rabbits. They then came home and
ate their dinners, Immediately after
which, Louis started cut on another
hunt, this time taking with him his
little brother. They had not been
gone long when they ran on to a rab-
bit sitting in some brush. Louis
Wiley, who carried new
single-barrelled shot gun, took
aim at The game, but the gun snapped
and he then caught it by the barrel
and struck at the rabbit. This dis.
charged the weapon and the whole
load entered his abdomen, producing
almost instant death. The young
brother seeing that Louis was shot,
ran to a Mr.. Brady's half
mile distant and told him of the &C
cident. Mr.. Brady hitched up his
team, went to where the boy lay and
carried him home on a sled.
TIE funeral took place this after
noon at Smithton.

An Important Capture on Christ
mas Day.

Yesterday morning ]. w. Powell
Officer Mooney and Constable Robert
Ramsey made an important capture OF
three supposed crooks named ]. p.
Moore, Chas. A. Miller, andIWilliam
Dewire. The officers got a pointer
that some crooked work was going on
and that the men could be found in a
room at the City hotel. Mooney went
there at once and saw two of the sus.
pected characters sitting in room.
Going out to satisfy himself further
that he had the right men spotted, he
returned soon afterwards to find that
they had skipped out. The direction
in which they had gone was learedland
chose given. The men had struck
south, afoot, on the NJ, K. & I.
track and were readily overhauled.
The third suspected burglar, Miller,
was arrested in a saloon.
These three men had been stopping
at the hotel had sewed up a sack
containing several new suits of
clothes and had taken it to the ex-
press office at the Union depot for
shipment.
Moore, Miller and Dewire were
locked up in the county jail TO await
preliminary examination. Meantime,
cards have been sent out TO various
towns informing the authorities of :the
arrest 81 of the suspected parties and the

The st: Joe Gazette says of this
attraction:
''Not long ago a notorious leg show
was billed TO play at Tootle's opera
house. A second performance, or to
be more exact, second female snato-
NAUTICAL exhibition, was announced
for Sunday night. These events were
billed On posters more gaudy and
offensive than usual. The fact that
this attraction" an array of painted.
padded amazons, almost destitute of
clothing, and entirely suspicionless of
shame, was thus advertised, especially
when it is remembered that the exhi-
bition was billed for Sunday night,
indicates the toughness of managerial
conscience and clearly points out the
necessity of suppressing an evil that
has grown to be monstr0us."

The Latest News Concerning the
Pet of the Cooper County
Jail.

fridays Boonville Democrat pub
fishes John Oscar Turlington's own
story of his escape and capture a week
ago also an interesting conversation
with sheriff Hornbeck. burlington
says:
"The night was placed in jail
mean when was brought back from
Kenlucky-I had made up my mind
to escape. A man by the name of
Sharp, confined in Jail, gave me a
case knife and two fi!es. / broke one
of the files. On the 10th OF this month
| commenced planning my escape,
and went to work saving my way out.
l made a saw out of the knife and
sawed all night for ten nights. Every
morning | would fill up the crack with
soap and burn it over with my lamp.
l kept this up until the morning of
the 18th when | had a pace sawed
Skis inches in the ceiling of my cell.
1t was about II o'clock Saturday
night when l pushed the plate up and
standing upon my cot, crawled thro'
the hole into the garnet, pulling my
blankets, which 1 had made into a
rope, after me. After wandering
around in the garnet for few min
utes, | fonnd the trap door and was
soon on the roof. / tied my rope
blanket to joist on the inside of the
trap door, and scaled down the rope
into the back yard on the south side
of the jail. / made my way 10 the
barn aud borrowed the sherifFs horse,
and rode rapidly in the direction of
OtterviIle, reaching that place, or
within mile of It near daylight. /
got down from my horse, tied him in
a meadow and crawied into a corn
shock where / was captured in the
evening of the same day"
As no one is allowed in the Jail
very few particulars can be ascer-
tanned of Turlington's mood at the
present time. Late Wednesday
evening Sheriff Hornbeck was seen
Oy representative or this paper and
talked freely. During the course of
bis conversation, he said /:
"Since burlington has been recap
.ured he is very savage. This morn
ng We mace him change his clothing
from head to foot and he cursed and !
,aved like a mad man because ! |
you'd not let him go into the cell to
make the change. He has not eaten

declares he will never taste food
gain. This morning he said to me,

; trying to make one of us kill him.
Or he has made up his mind that he

TIE census taker is abroad in the land
asking questions which the law directs,
and to these he ought to have full and
complete responses. The census is taken
for the benefit of the people. 1t is to
their welfare the government looks
in executing the law. One black
guard sheet in New Mexico has seen
| fit to advise citizens not to answer the
questions put by the enumerators; but
they will be answered, and not by any
compulsory devise, either, for the people
of New Mexico are far too intelligent to
be set wrong by any one. The details Of
the census are kept profoundly secret,
only being used for general comparisons
SO far as the public is concerned, and no
possible harm can result from every one
being perfectly frank and open in their
responses. 1t is wise provision of gov
ernment that necessitates the gathering
of such statistics as The census calls for
every ten years. Let it be the duty of
every citizen to aid in making it as COM
plete as possible.

not seem as if the road had been conduct

whose citizens spent couple Of hundred
thousand dollars and built the entire road
bed, or in the interest Of this county,
whose tax payers are expected to foot the
payment of the bonds amounting to $780,

This thing must stop, and the people OF
this county and OF this town have some
rights which the road in question must be
compelled to respect. As a minority
stockholder this county has some rights.
These have been heretofore Ignored. That
course must cease. The management Of

THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT,

The NEW MEXICAN is again raising the
question as to why Santa Fe county,
which owns 100000 stock in the Texas,
Santa Fe & Northern road, has no repre-
sentative on the board of directors. 1t
pertinenty inquiries whether the tax
payers of that county have no rights
which the company is bound to respect.
Certainly not, if past experience in these
matters is~any criterion by which to
Judge. Having obtained the money, the
railway company expects the people to
pay both interest and principal OF the
bonds, ask no questions as to the value Of
their stock or the management of the
road. 1t is the usual policy of "the pub
lie be ID. ."-Denver News.
That is just about the long and short OF
it, and as the Denver News aptly expresses
it, The road under the presidency of L.
M. Nelly seems to have been run exactly
upon the principle set forth by the News.
The stock owned by this county has nsvsr
