The Watch Which Curtis Tried to Pawn

The Watch Which Curtis Tried to Pawn
Not the Murdered WOman's.
It appears now that those who herald
ed the arrest of "Abe" Curtis and "Jim"
Buzzard as the capture of Mrs. A D.
Matson's murderers, spoke prematurely.
The fact is now admitted at the sheriff's
Office, that Curtis, Buzzard and Wood
had nothing to do with the murder The
watch which Pawnbroker VIM. Lyttou
supposed was Mrs. Matson's, and which
several persons partially identified as
such, wasn't hers at all When Curtis
said the watch was given to him by Buz-
zard he spoke falsely. His first story,
aud the one which he afterwards went
back to, has been found to be the correct
one, namely, that he stole the watch from
Rathburn's pawn shop on East Sixth
street
Rathburn Identifies the watch, as does
John Payne, the jeweler north of the
Throop hotel, who repaired it for Rath-
burn. The watch no doubt bore a strong
resemblance to the one carried by Mrs.
Matson.
Curtis is still in trouble, however, and
he will probably go to the penitentiary
anyhow for burglary and grand larceny.

STOVES IN STREET CARS.

One Man Says He Has No sympathy for
Those Who Complain.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
There is considerable whooping and
shrieking because there are no fires in
the electric street cars One never gets
upon the cars without hearing loud com
plants from the passengers at the man
agement of the road and a general
demand that something be done to com
pei the street car company to heat its
cars.
Those who complain will certainly
admit that the street car company has a
right to do as it pleases with its own
property, and that those who do not like
the way the street cars are managed can
walk.
1, for one, do not have the slightest
sympathy for those who are complaining.
If they had deeper insight, instead of
whining about the way the street cars
are run by a private corporation, they
would be advocating city ownership of
street car lines as they are owned in
Toronto and Glasgow. Then if they
wanted stoves in the street cars they
could vote them in. Perhaps, if street
car companies didn't have to pay such
enormous interest on their debts, and
dividends on watered stock, street car
fares could be reduced to cents-whO
knows? If the municipality ran the
street cars it would only need to make
them pay expenses.
OF course this would be paternalism,
and l know these complaining people
wouldn't encourage such heinous thing
as paternalism. As long as they fee
that way, say, let them walk. 1t serves
them right for being so obtuse.
