AFTER FUGITIVES.
Sheriff Cunningham's Arrest of Il
Nebraska Defaulter Likely to
Become an International
Affair.

As stated in these columns at the time
of his arrest, one Barrett Scott, an alb
sconding treasurer of Holt county, Neb.,
was taken into custody by Sheriff Gun
ningham at Chihuahua, Mexico some
three weeks ago. A promised reward of
$4,000 and expenses constituted the chief
interest of the Santa Fe county sheriff in
the premises. Scott was jailed at Juarez
pending the issuance of extradition
papers.
One week later another Nebraska man,
Dell Akin, brother-in-law and one of
SCOTS bondsmen, came to Santa Fe from
O'Neill, Neb., and had several conferences
with Sheriff Cunningham. He had with
him what purported torbe warrant for
SCOTS arrest and presented some sort
of authority from officers of Holt coun-
ty, Neb., upon which he demanded that
Sheriff Cunningham turn over to him
Scott, he to take the defaulter back to
Nebraska. Akin offered to pay the cash
reward of $4,000 and expenses if the
Santa Fe sheriff would do this and
step out of the case. Some in
vestigation, however, on the part
of Sheriff Cunningham revealed the fact
that there was something vitality wrong
about Mr.. Atkins alleged official papers
and his authority to act for the law Of
tcers of Holt county, and he declined to
negotiate with him. The sheriff intimated
later to a citizen of Santa Fe that, in his
opinion, several of the officers of Holt
county were interested in the Doodle that
Scott got away with, some 100000, and
that Akin, being his kinsman and also
his bondsman, would have cheerfully paid
the reward so that Scott could be set at
liberty.
Leaving Santa Fe Akin went to Las
Cruces and secured the services of Col.
A. j. Fountain to aid him in getting Scott
freed from jail, it being questionable If
SCOTS offense is extraditable. On Satur-
day last Akin was arrested by Sheriff
Simmons, of Ell Paso, and Sheriff Gun
ningham, of Santa Fe, and is now in jail
there on the charge of himself being
fugitive from justice. 1t is probable
that he was arrested for bringing to Santa
Fe warrant that was a forgery and
thereon attempting to have Sheriff Cum
ningham transfer Scott to his custody.
The Ell Paso papers are devoting columns
to the case and declare that the abscond-
ing treasurer, Barrett Scott, will not be
extradited if he can help it, and it is not
believed that the Mexican authorities
will give him up. Sheriff Cunningham is
at Ell Paso looking after the case.

used at the trial in bringing about the

vention were Hon. w. NJ. Berger and

The ladies will enter upon an active
campaign in anticipation of the early ad-
mission of New Mexico as state and
not the least interesting debate IN the
forthcoming constitutional convention
will be over the insertion in the constitu-
tion of clause permitting woman's suf-
frage.

Headache and Dizziness. Frequent
Causes of ApOplexy ana Paralysis.

The most recent and profound research
ess in this direction by specialists, have
developed conclusively that the above
disorders frequently result in death or
permanent disability. DR.. Miles Resto-
rative Nervine is the greatest remedy for
either of these apparently insignificant
causes. Nothing approaches it in merit.
Mrs. W. q. Burns, of South Bend, Ind,
who has suffered from constant headache
for three months, was cured by it. The
daughter of Daniel Myers, Brooklyn

was having from Is to rs fits day.
Nervine cured her OF both fits and insan-
ity. Sold on aguaranteo by A. q. Ireland,

The Old Country Road.

Where did IL come from and where did it gos
That was the question that puzzled US 80
As we waded the dust OF the highway that flowed
By the farm, like river-the old country road
We stood with our hair sticking up thro' the
of our hats, as the people went up and went
And we wished in our hearts. as cur eyes fairly
We could find where 1t came from-the old coun-
try road.
We remember the peddler who came with his
pack
Adown the old highway. and never went hack ;
And we wondered what things he had seen a. he
strobe
From some fabulous place up the old country
road.
We remember the stage drivers look OF delight,
And the crack of his whip a he whirled into
sight,
And We thought we could read in each glance he
bestowed
A tale OF strange life up the old country road
The movers came by like a ship in full sail.
With rudder behind in the shape OF pail
With arnllicking crew, and a cow that was lowed
with rope ON her horns, down the old country
road.
And the gypsies-how well we remember the
They cauyed by the OLD covered bridge, the
How The neighbors quit work and the crops were
unhogd,
TIL the wagons drove Oh down the old country
road
oh, the top Of the hill was the rim OF the world,
And the dust OF the summer that over Il curled
Was the curtain that hid from our sight the
abode
OF the fairies that lived up the old country road.
The old country road | can see It siill flow
Down the hiil Of nv dreams, a. II did long ago.
And wish even now | could lay Of my load.
