SENATOR DUBOIS, of course, puts all
the blame for the trouble in the West on
the poor Indians. The truth is that the
white settlers, as usual, are trying to
gobble up all that belongs to 'Lo," and
unless he gives up without struggle,
he must be branded as the terror of the
frontier. The civilization Of the Indian
has not progressed far enough for
him to quietly permit white settlers
to rob him without fighting back.

This Country for Sport

New York, Feb. 1S.-The most noted

Gould. He cannot even walk through the
halls without hearing his name men,
toned. The young man, for he is only
25, is well built and wears a crop of light
curly hair. He dresses like a thorough
Partisan. Count Castellane is willing to
talk to newspapermen. He speaks the
English language well, but with a strong
French accent. The publicity which has
been given to his projected marriage is
distasteful to him. He said last night:

ing and riding. l visited Newport and
was delighted with the place. l stayed
there for long time, and then went to
Colorado and got back here in time to

STOLE A FORTUNE
The Loot Of a DefauIting Cashier In a
Chicago Bank

Chicago Bank
Chicago, Feb. 1S.-A special to the
Tribune from Richmond, Va, says:
''It is now quite certain that G. M. Fig
gait the defaulting cashier of the Bank
of Lexington, stole about $780, 900 from
that institution. He got away with $50,
600 capital stock and nearly $4,000 be-
longing to the depositors. The develop
ments show that that Figgatts stealings
cover period of twenty-five years and de-
positors are angry with the directors for
having failed to detect what was going on.
The bank is left with only $4,000 in cash.
Lexington is a town of 5000 people and is
the county seat of Rockbridge, thrifty
farming community Business is almost
paralyzed on account of the wreck of this
financial institution. The Virginia Mill
tary Institute had $40, 900 on deposit and
the county treasurer kept his deposits
there. The town was filled with deposit
ors who came from the country to discuss
the situation, and the feeling was bitter
towards those responsible for the careless
manner in which the affairs of the bank
were conducted. During the time Figgatt
has been stealing he has had many bonds
men and the situation is so complicated
that it will be hard to recover ANYTHING
from them, and it is likely that nearly
everything will be lost. There is now no
doubt that Figgatt had accomplices in the
robbery.

sure to make some startling disclosures

thought to have prohted by the cashiers

Rev. Parkhurst Springs Another
Sensation in New York
THE CONSCIENCELESS CROWD
Unnamed Clergymen Are Denounced as
Rascals
Talking Under the SubJecr Of SIN the Famous
Divine Lets the Lash Fall on
1any Shoulders

New York Feb. 18.-The r ev. DR.
Charles Parkhurt created sensation in
his sermon by practically libelling as
rascals a body of clergymen unnamed.
He preached upon the subject of Sin and
himself upon the theme OF individual
sins of the ordinary state, but there was
nothing startling in his remarks.
Then he branched off upon the sins Of
society at large and it became apparent to
the congregation that he had something
concealed up his sleeve. This was indi-
Gated when he declared 'that crowds
have no consciences; corporations are said
to have no souls or ccnsciences. This is
true and crowd has no conscience"
AT this point he hesitated, as if in doubt
whether to continue on the line he in
tended. After brief pause, however, he
remarked: Il will give you an illustra-
tion of this" and again he halted and
looked around.
If you were to put certain sum-" he
went on, sin the hands of one man, one
Christian man, for particular purpose,
you could feel sure that it would be used
for that purpose. That man has con-
BCleHCe. he WOulu De Responsible 10 Une
donor and to his own conscience.
Another break followed in the discourse
and every ear in the congregation was
strained to hear what would follow.
Raising his voice the clergyman contin-
ned: "But with crowd it is different.
A crowd has no conscience. To the point
a short time ago money was raised and
placed in the hands of certain body of
men, mostly clergomen and elders. This
body of men voted to apply this money
and it was applied to a purpose that was
distasteful to nearly all the donors.
''If one man had done that he would
have been a rascal, but no one man in
that crowd had done what was done, and
a crowd has DO conscience. Each took
refuge in that thought. The one man
would have been rascal, but the crowd
had no conscience"
The remaining references to individual
sins were not lost upon the members of
the congregation. Elders and other
officials of tn. church looked at each other
with vague and puzzled expressions. No
one could tel what he meant, and the
doctor declired to be interviewed.

HE LIVED IN SAN FRANCISCO
Some Of tie Past History of a Famous
SWindler

oWiHuicT
San Francisco, Feb. 1S.--Harold X. Ca
vee, alias Kimball, who was recently ar
rested at Chicago for bigamy, perjury and
forgery and who afterward escaped from
the officers there and went to Canada,
where he is still refugee from justice,
lived in this city during September and
October. His sixth wife recently died in
the inssne asylum in Stockston. Cavelle's
career reads like a chapter from the life
of some Spanish conqueror. He plum
dered the exchequers of confiding women
wherever he went, and his travels have
alrealy been traced throughout the East
ern and Middle states and over large
pam of England and the Continent. 1t is
MOI known how many wives he has now
living, although five have been heard
frpm. The detectives of New York and
Chicago have reason to believe that
rImber of his wives have kept silent to
ayoid the chagrin and shame of publicity.
1t is known that wherever he tarried
long he married under one of his many
aliases, and that, after securing all the
money he could obtain from his brides,
he disappeared. The story of the way in
which lie plundered the wife who re-
Gently died in the Stockton asylum is per-
haps the saddest chapter in the history of
the swindler's career. She was Miss
Marie Hall of Buffalo, N. Y, and met
Cavelle two years ago when he was trav-
cling under the name of kimball. He sue
ceeded in marrying her and two went to
Paris, where he secured $4,000 from the
unfortunate woman. Then he deserted
her and she secured a position at Yose-
mite, Cal, as school teacher. Early last
June she was sent to the Stockton insane
asylum and died there few days ago.
