SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 1s.-Na-
thaniel Myers, alias Charles Lenkman,
who is in Jail here, charged with being
Implicated in the Missouri Pacific train
robbery near Lamar, Mo-, which took
place two years ago, makes some start
ling disclosures as to the guilt Of
Marion Hedgepeth, who is in Jail at
St Louis, charged with being the
leader of the Glendale train robbers,
who secured $4,000. Hedgepeth
claims to be Myers double, and says
that the latter was the leader of the
Glendale robbers, and not he. Myers,
in reply to this, says:
II have shielded Hedgepeth all
along in the matter, but I will now
tell all know. He got me into trouble
and is now trying to put it all on me.
I know that Hedgepeth is one of the
Glendale train robbers, and can pro-
duce four witnesses who can prove
that he is. When am called upon to
tell what know about the Glendale
robbery my statement will implicate
some of the most prominent business
men of Kansas City, Mo. 1t will be an
easy matter to prove that Hedgepeth

EI-Boomers on the Back Trail.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept 1s.-Ovei
1000 ex-boomers passed through Kan
sas City yesterday en- route to their
homes in all parts of the country from
the Cherokee strip. A more tired and
disgusted lot of men was never seen
together.
They had gone to the opening unpre-
pared for such tremendous rush as
occurred, and were mainly those who
had depended upon the trains to take
them into the strip. The trains
were out-distanced by the horsemen
and the wheelmen, and they got to the
heart of the promised land only to find
every claim pre-empted and every towr
lot gone.

During the d4l seasons the general public
has more time to read the newspapers, and so
the publisher can offer the advertiser an in
creased circulation, and consequently more

public increased values in exchange for th'
much needed cash SO that there is a mutual
advantage to the people, the merchant and
