The ..romb Of Cain"

The early traditions concerning the
city Of Damascus are curious and inter
esting, even though untrustworthy and
contradictory. By some Of the ancient
writers II was maintained that the city
stands on or near the site Of the garden
of Eden, and just outside there is a
beautiful meadow Of red earth from
which, II is said, God took the material
from which he created Adam. This
field is called Ager Damascenus, and
near its center there formerly stood a
pillar wnich was said to mark the pre-
else spot where our first parent was Gre
ated. A few miles out there is-an emil
hence called the Mountain OF Abel, sup
posed by some TO be the place where the
first two brothers offered their sacri-
fees, also the spot where the first muir
der was committed. The most interest
ing spot pointed out, however, is about
three leagues from the city, where an
old ruin is shown which all the orient
believe TO be the tomb of Cain. The
traditions respecting this famous spot
are known to antedate the Christian era
by several hundred years. Up to the
time CT Vespasian the interior Of the

The cast bound train came suddenly
10 a standstill a mile or two out from
Hatch last Thursday. Two heavily
armed men CITY MARSHALL Cantley and
Ed. Elrage) grabbed their Winchesters
and tumbled out Of the rear door OF the
train, ramming cartridges into their RI
fees as they went, while scared women
aud startled men rushed to the windows
10 zee II the'train were being held up or
what other fearful thing was to befall
them. As the train, however. pulled
out again while the two men strobe
across the prairie towards a herd Of
horses the passengers felt safer, tho
thoroughly bewlldered as to what was
happening. The story Of the cause Of
their excitement was as follows:
A good many horses have been stolen
within the last two OF three months
from people in the northwestern part Of
the County, and suspicion has fastened
on certain men as being the thieves OF
else connected with them; so when Wi
ley Bishop and Boo Ross started last
week with a herd Of horses for 1.-THE
Strip" Ed. Elrage came in to town, got
Q. L. Cantley, aud started after them to
see il they had any other brands than
those belonging 10 them in their herd.
Superintendent Easley was on the train
and, in compliance with the officers re-
quest, gave orders that the train should
be stopped whenever a horse herd was
seen. just before coming TO Hutch
a large herd Of horses was seen about
half a mile from the railroad, and the
tram coming suddenly to a standstill
reused the officers to the fact that they
had overtaken their men, and their hur-
ried efforts to get out Of the car and
have their arms ready pretty nearly
brought on a panic.
Messrs. Bishop and Ross made no re-
sistance Or objection to having their
herd examined, and branded properly
|-73. Next day Bishop and Ross spent
several several hours in Rincon on their
way north. They appeared to be trav-
cling perfectly openly, and the suspicion
that they had stolen the missing horses
was found to be totally unjustifiable.
The world do move. New Mexico is
progressing in civilization. Our justice
Of the peace took his first ride in a rail
road train on Friday. He got up to the
station about an hour before the train
started so as to be sure TO be in time,
carefully selected a seat, and sat down
with a look OF care on his brow. by and
by the train men came along, and then
the drummers and the rest OF the travel
ling public, and "His Honor" assumed a
judicial expression as If he were about to
say According to the law and evidence
in this case, &c, &c" Finally the train
pulled out and carried him down as far
as Hudson. Later in the day another
train came along and picked up "His
Honor" and carried him back to Silver
City, where an awe struck and admHing
crowd received him, and tenderly en-
quired show he had stood the journey"
"if it made him sick" "what he thought
about it anyhow" and other courteous
remarks. "His Honor" is gradually re.
covering and will SCOT again be able to
mount the magesterial seat, and once
more magestically, pronounce that
there being no law to cover this case,
and the evidence being conflicting 1

from $500 to $1.50.

followed that the cutting in half of this

PASSED BOGUS COIN
George Wheeler and Marion
Myer Arrtsted.
HE LIED TO SAVE HIMSELF
koonce, Who Robbed Unired stat 3
Malls, Confesses That He Alone
Was Responsible

Boise, idaho, Dec. 12.-Marion Myer
and George Wheeler. who live on a
farm near Caldwell, were today ar
rested by United States officers on
charge of counterfeiting Caldwell par
ties made complaint some time ago
that Myers and Wheeler were passing
numbers of spurious coins and a watch
was set on them. The officers swooped
down upon them today, but failed to
discover the outfit. They expected,
however, to unearth the dies before the
men have a hearing. A large quantity
of bogus silver quarters, halves and dol
lars have been circulated all over this
part of the state for some time and
1t is believed they have all been made
on Meyers farm,
The theory of the officers is that
Wheeler who only came to Idaho few
months ago, is a veteran counterfeiter.
He has the look of an all-round crook,
which even his rustic disguise fails to
conceal. 1t is thought he secured silver
at surrounding mining camps and seek
ing the seclusion of Meyers farm,
ground out quantities of the bogus
stuff, depending on his farmer guise
and his connection with Meyers, an
old-timer to enable him to pass 1t
without arousing suspicion. The Off
GERS think they have made an impor-
tant capture, in scooping in Wheeler.
Descriptions of counterfeiters wanted
by the government will be sent here for
the purpose of ascertaining if any OF
them will fit Wheeler.
LIED TO SAVE HIMSELF.
j. o. Koonce today made another
confession with reference to the robbery
of the mails on the Camas Prairie route
in southeastern Idaho. He confessed
a year ago that he as stage driver and
Walter Daugherty,. deputy postmaster
at Creighton, were in collision to rob
the malls and that they got several
HUNDRED dollars. Koonce served term
Daugherty was subsequently indicted
and was tried here a few days ago. the
jury failing to agree. Koonce then
swore that Daugherty was guilty. He
now states that Daugherty Is inno-
cent; that he did all the stealing alone.
He says he was induced to make the
confession duplicating Daugherty by
threats and the promise of Postal In
spector c. l.. Wayland, who said there
would only be light sentence for him
and promised him money. Koonce will
be prosecuted for perjury.
