GOT AWAY WITH THE CASH.
No Trace Yet Pound of the
Circns RobberR.

The Dickinsonians who on Saturday
lost their money 80 freely in the wheel
Of fortune deal at the circus are still
mourning. Sheriff Smith and his
deputies have vainly tried TO locate
the men implicated. Some Of the
victims met Saturday evening and
consulted n lawyer on the adviaibility
of attaching Cook ~ Whitby's whole
show but decided that it would cost
too much to do 80. The show mana.
gers claimed that the game WAS not in
their establishment at all. 1t was,
however, in their sideshow and they
should be held responsible.
The REFLECTOR estimate Of the
losses incurred at 81 900 seems to have
been under rather than over the
actual amount. The sum stated can
easily be counted up from known
losers while there aye several others
who lost but kept still. A young man
from the country, named Nelson, sunk
slT5 This aud Mr.. COsgrove's $2l0
are believed to be the largest losses
incurred.
While the families and in some
cases the creditors OF the men who
lost need the money fooled away, there
is little sympathy expressed for the
men themselves. Any man who IN
this age Of the world after all the ex.
posures by example and by the public
press will try to make money off a
gambling outfi, Of any kind is hardly
to be pitied. lie has but himself tG

Fifteen days ago, having been led TO

word from him, he informed that of
fetal that he expected him to act in the
matter of restraining the managers

THE KANSAS DELEGATES.

Some OF Them Not Pleased with the Re-
publican League Convention at Louis
Vile, Ky.
TOPEKA, Kan, May 22.-Some of the
Kansas delegates TO the national con-
vention of the league of republican
clubs are anything but pleased with
the way that things in general went at
Louisville, and they do not hesitate to
give expression to their views.
In the first place, they say it was not
within the rightful province of the
league to give a platform TO the
country, and the declaration Of prin-
ciples which was made is such as
10 provoke suspicion as to its capa-
bilities for leading. The league was
designed as an executive organiza-
tion, and not as body of counselors, n
troop TO execute the plans and pur-
poses Of the national party as promul-
gated by the national convention. The
speech Of ClarlSson adverse to southern
negroes is also severely criticised.

DEATH IN A DESERT
Sad Fate of a Party of Prospectors
in Mexico.
THEIR WATER SUPPLY GIVES OUT.
They stsgger Along Until All Perish But
One AN American Named knapp
lie WIN Return to His Homo
In tho States.

MANELLoA, Mexico, May 22.-Francis
Banada, prominent rancher who lives
north of here near san Juan Sabinas,
has arrived at Manelloa and brings the
first news of the terrible fate of party
OF five mining prospectors, who left
here four weeks ago for the Sierra
San Vicente mountains in the north
western part of this state near the
Texas boundary. There have been
many reports circulated in this part of
Mexico for several months past of the
famous mineral wealth TO be found in
those mountains, and party of
young men, consisting of c. II. Lorian,
B. w. Knapp, both Americans, Cecilia
Martinez, Eustacio Lojada and Jesus
Guerrero organized themselves into
band to try their luck in the reported
Eldorado.
The course of their journey lay
through II desert for l5O miles and on
the third day after leaving Santa Rosa
their water supply gave out and their
team of horses was left behind to its
fate. Bor six days the men lived on
the juice of the maguey plant. On the
seventh day two of the MeXicans were
driven crazy by the heat and thirst,
broke away from their companions and
soon became lost in the desert. Other
members Of the party gradually lost
their strength and were left behind
TO die. The only man that came out OF
the terrible ordeal alive was Mr..
Knapp, who on the tenth day reached
the San Jose Piedras ranch, where he
received water and kind treatment.
On regaining his strength he was es-
corted to San Juan Sabinas by differ
ent route than the one which had
proved fatal 10 his companions, lie is
now resting at the ranch of Mr..
Banada and will soon take his depart
ure for his old home in the United
States.
