CITY HALL VANDALS.
Boys Steal Thousands of Dollars
Worth of Lead.

The investigation Of the City Hall roof
that the Commissioners authorized the archi-
tect and Superintendent to make furnishes
the disagreeable disclosure that vandalism
to a remarkable extent has been practiced
there for a year or more. 1t is estimated
that the lead Hastings torn up and carried
away by the boys Of the neighborhood will
cost the city about $4,000 to replace. Damage
of this character to the extent of $500 has
been done within the past week or two.
This lead flashing is used to seal the edge
of the metal roofing with the masonry of
the walls so that the rain cannot leak into
the walls under the edge of the roof. 1t has
been nearly all torn off and carried away,
the boys selling it for old lead and getting
quite profitable return for it.
This investigation also discloses the un-
happy fact that the little boy who met with
a fatal fall through skyight in the build
ing on Saturday night last had his pockets
filled with this lead, and a heavy roll Of it
was found on the floor near where he fell
On the roof were found two or three more
rolls that the boys had evidently lett in their
fright on that night.
II was found that the roof was gained by
the boys from the new wing now on a level
with the main building, and not through the
only door in the building that leads to the
roof. and which is always kept securely

MEXICO CLAIMS HIM.
Crosswaite Will Not Be Brought
to This Country.

The notorious desperate Crosswaite, who
has been the subject of some diplomatic cor
respondence between Mexico, where he
made an assault to murder an old man, AM
this country, of which he claimed to be
citizen. is likely to meet his just punish
ment for his crime at the hands of the Mex
lean Government. l.. S. Irwin, Special
Agent of the Treasury at Ell Paso, Texas,
but formerly of this city, has Just returned
from San Diego and Tia Juana, where he
was closely in touch with the Investigations
carried on between the United States Mar
shall, representing this country, and the
Mexican authorities. and lie says it has been
decided to leave Crosswaite to the fate Mex
leo may deal out to him.
CrOSswaite, after his assault, escaped to
the United States. Some said he was kid
mapped by Americans, and the National
Governments attention was drawn to the
rumors by Mexico. A little while after he
was arrested by Sheriff for stealing cat
Tie, and turned over to guard. He knocked
the guard down one night while near the
Mexican border, and, though shot at sew
eral times, made good his escape from the
guard.
The shooting attracted the attention of
the Mexican guards, who apprehended him.
His Identity was soon revealed to the Mex
lean authorities, and he was held to answer
Tor the assault to murder. The United
States Marshal asked his return, to which
request the Mexcans responded: This man
Is desperate criminal. We want him for
more heinous crime than America does,
and, if convicted, he will be held by US
longer than you can hold him. so you had
better leave him to answer for the greater
crime"
The United States Marshal then asked for
an investigation into the rumors that he had
first been Kidnapped by "compatriots," and
whether he should be demanded by the
Ameri cans. or left to Mexican justice. The
Investigation was ordered by the Govern
ment at Washington, and the result is that
CrosSwaite was found TO be a Mexican citi-
zen, having lived all his life in Mexico;
that he was lot kidnapped, but made SIM
pie escape, and lastly that the ends of JUS
tice can be better furthered by leaving him
where he is-in the hands OF the Mexican
authorities

tied the foundry where it is said the charge of
dynamite was laid and offered TO handle the
casting under which 1t was stated the dyna-
mite was placed, but the Superintendent de-
clined their offer, saying that he took no
stock in the story.
The paper which went into commissions
over the story said that the owners of the
foundry feared that the dynamite would be
set on fire by the molders, and the latter
will write to the leading scientific journal of
the country to ascertain how dynamite can
be exploded by heat, as they have been
taught that it can only be exploded by con-
ouSsion.
