Talks About Representative CatTon and
His AntI-Prize-Fight BILL
Ell PAso, Tex, Feb. 1O.-Gov. Thorn
ton, discussing Delegate Catron and
the latters attack upon him in Wash
ington, said: II never attempted to
take any credit to myself for the franz
ing or passage of the i-prize-fght
bill did not communicate with Cat
ron about it, for 1 knew he would not
introduce anything to oblige me. The
measure was framed by Congressman
Cockrell, of FL Paso, at the suggestion
of the ministers of this city after they
had learned from me there was no ade-
quate law against prize-ighting in
New Mexico.
LAS to Catron saying l was in col
fusion with the carnival people, that is
outrageous. My correspondence with
Attorney-General Harmon at Wash
ington and with our district judges, as
well as with the officials of Dona Ana
county, will show l was in opposition
to the fighters long before the Catron
bill was mentioned. Catron reminds
me of boy with his first pair of boots;
he has got his first bill through, and he
is strutting around with a chip on his
shoulder swapping at everyone. L
don't want any of the credit that be-
longs to him"

1t is sometimes objected to masonry
that many of its members are un4
worthy men. which is doubtless true.
We make no apology for unworthy
men in masonry or in the church, or
anywhere else. 1t is too true that uni
worthy persons are found in all good
organizations, but it is one of the
worst forms of wickedness to seek tho
name and protection of that which is
good. Masonry owes all its beautiful
and sublime lessons to Christianity,
for Christianity exceeds it as the sun
shine exceeds the moonlight-there is
no conflict between them. The Chris,
tian man will be a better mason be-
cause of his spiritual light. and tho
sincere mason will soon see his need
of the spiritual life to satisfy his soul,

Masked Men at Milan.

Milan, Feb. 6.-This morning about 8
O'Clock two men wearing masks entered
the railroad ticket office here and COM
manded the operator and night baggage
agent, Messrs. Walter Loving and John
Pinkston, to hold mp their hands at the
point of leveled revolvers. The boys"
were marched over to the wall and re-
heTed of about So in money and two gold
watches. The cash drawer was rif1ed of
$40. John Wilson, clerk of the express
company, entered the office at this mo-
ment and was compelled to hand over his
pistol and a small amount in change Mr.
Parham and wife, of Jackson, waiting for
a train, were relieved of $50 in money.
The Oyercoats in the ticket office were
bundled up and the two men and a con-
federate on the outside made their escape.
Officers were soon in pursuit, and al
though the town and surrounding country
were searched, no trace of the men was
discovered. This morning news was re-
ceiyed that the men were seen a few
miles north of town. Deputy Sheriff Will
Jams and Chief of Police r. f. Ham
are in pursuit. The leader of the robbers
was about feet 10 inches in height,
wore brown derby hat and light over
coat. The other man was low, heavy set
and wore chinchilla overcoat. The third
man was not seen. The operator at Mar
tin states that three men answering this
description were in that town about 8
o'clock. They were Northern men from
their account, and from the neat manner
in which they performed the robbery are
professionals. The officers are confident
they will bag the robbers.
The men who robbed the ticket office
here this morning were seen this after
noon at Idlewild. Detectives are pursu-
ing them tonight.

RUNYoN'S REMAINS

BERLIN, Feb. 1O.-The body of Hon.
Theodore Runyon, late United States
ambassador to Germany, was removed
from the vault, where it has temporarily
rested since the funeral services, and
forwarded to Bremen, where it will be
placed on board the steamer Havel, for
New York. The coffin and the wreaths
which were placed upon it were en-
cased in strongly-made boxes.
At the last moment the authorities S
stated that if the emperor had known
of the plans of the family for the re-
moval of the body his majesty would
undoubtedly have ordered a military
parade from the vault to the station
similar to that which accompanied the
body of Lord Ampthill, the British am
bassador, who died in Berlin in 1884.
