HotC an Inofensire Butcher Scared
Mountain FielC officer.
SAN JOSE, CAL, April 12.-The man
who passed through Mountain View yes
terday and who was supposed to be Nc
CURE, the Reed Station train-robber, has
turned out to be an inoffensive butcher by
the name of L. Cohn, who was on his way
to Baden in search of employment. He is
being held by officers at Redwood City, and
it is reported that an officer is on the way
from Sacramento to identity him.
Constable Martin of Mountain View said
to-day that the man admitted to him that
he was none other than the much sought
robber, and said he would never be taken
alive. Martin says the man carried a
bundle, which he said could not be secured
excerpt at his death.
The man only had one revolver in sight,
which he was continually handling, and
he informed the frightened constable that
there were two more in his bundle.
He also said his bundle contained dyna-
mite, which was to be used in forcing open
safes, and if the constable tried to arrest
him he would blow them both up.
l.. Cohn, the butcher, who is being held
in Redwood City, stopped at the New
York Exchange Hotel couple of days
this week and left here yesterday morning.
He carried bundle of tools and had o.
caliber revolver. He rode wheel and, as
he somewhat answered McGuire's descrip-
ton, Martin concluded he was the robber
wanted. Cohen is said to be great prac-
teal joker.
At P. N. last evening Chief Crowley re-
ceived a telephone message from the
Sheriff at San Rafael that man answer
ing the description of Brady, alias Mcguire,
who shot Sheriff Bogard at the train
robbery near Wheatland, had been ar
rested at Bolinas and that he was on his
way to San Rafael. He requested that an
officer be sent from San Francisco to see if
he could identify the man. Detective
Egan will leave to-day for San Rafael.

This is the greatest show
ing the STATE JOURNAL has
ever been able to make for
a period of any six months
in its history.
This is a greater figure
than was reached by any
daily paper in Topeka for
the year 1894. The Ameri-
can Newspaper Directory,
issued in June, 1895, and
covering the year 1894, gives
the average daily circula-
ton of the Topeka Daily
Capital for the year 1894, as
only 8.744. These figures
were furnished by the pub
fishers Of the Capital, to the
Directory, and are guaran-
teed to be correct by a for
felt of 800, which will be
paid to any one disproving
their correctness.

stantiated by sworn state

in 1898, 1894 and 1895, shows

Dewing is an old soldier who receives a

of enforcement on the grounds of neg

The vito set up a cross bill alleging
that she refused to live with the plain

Judge Reed said that in the very ma

Where Some of tho Ducks Went.

in telling about slaughtering duck on the
Arkansas river in the years past when
wild fowl were plentiful, says: "a party
of US went down the river one morning
several hours before daylight with a
light boat and couple of lanterns and
the ducks were SO thick shot in any
direction would kill several The party
slaughtered ducks that morning until too
tired 10 reload and shoot any more and
the whole town was surfeited with duck
before they were eaten" It is just such
indiscriminate slaughtering as here de-
scribed, perpetrated by unthinking pot
shooters, under the name of sport" that
has devastated this country of its game
