may say respecting agriculture will

Townsend is indignant over the report
that Wesley Warner was to be executed
in the Camden Jail. He says the law will
be INDICATED in the Burlington County
Jail yard, at the north end of the Jail,
and between that building and the house
occupied by the Sheriff. The place Sc
lected is surrounded on all sides by high
walls and it will be impossible for per-
sons not directly in front of the scaffold
to see the hanging. He has been much
annoyed by the report that he desired
to shift the responsibility for the work
upon some one else. He says he has
never undertaken anything yet but what
carried it through, and he guesses he
will dispose of this case all right.

CALIFORNIA TRAIN ROBBERS.
Various Theories Advanced as to How They
Worked.

Sacramento. Cal, Oct 15.-The men
who robbed the Overland train near
this city have thus far eluded cap
ture.
The detectives are working OH three
different theories All of these the
cries agree that the men are ex-em-
ployes and reside in this city. 1t Is
claimed the manner in which the
robbery was conducted bears out this
suppositiOn beyond doubt.
One of the theories is that the rob-
beers buried the money in the woods
near where the engine stopped, and
after dispOsing of their arms, masks
and linen busters, crossed the bridge
into Sacramento, where they lived. Z.
Those opposed to this theory claim
to believe the money was buried some
where in the neighbOrhood Of where
the engine was reversed and sent
back, but that the robbers crossed to
the Sacramento side of the river in n
boat, which they had either stolen for
the occasion or which was furnished
by confederate.
The other theory, and one that
seems to have large number Of ad-
herents, Is that the men had buggy
standing near by, into which they
loaded the money and then drove up
the river to a spot where they had
confederate awaiting their arrival
with a boat by means of which they
could row across and enter the city
from the north or east side.
Traces of a buggy in u soft ground
near the track have been discovered.
Another circumstance In line with
this theory Is that buggy has been
missing from a stable in this city
since the afternoon preceding the train
robbery.

'It's all bosh, this talk about cow
boys learning to enjoy the sport of
riding bucking horse" said a re-
formed cowboy. "Riding bucking
horse is like having boils; you never
get thoroughly used to it. When you
hear fellow sdy that he would like
to ride a bucking horse he is either Il
liar or a greenhorn. The first day l
ever went out with herd of cattle l
was dumped nine times because of the
presence of a cactus burr in my saddle
blanket / have never seen but one
man that had grit enough to sit on n
real bucking horse until 1t had bucked
all it wanted to, and he was bleeding
at the nose, mouth and ears when they
took him off the horse at the end of a
half-hour's struggle. AS general
thing, a cowboy will pull horses
head up, wind the reins around the
saddIe-horn, take firm grip on the
saddle with his hands, and then rowel
the bucker until the animal becomes
convinced that it is better to behave
than to buck"
