OVERTURNED THE BOAT,

DENVER, Oct. 25.-By the overturn

lost his entire family, consisting of his
WIFE and five children. Their names are
Hilda, the mother, aged 30; Evan, aged
10; Carl, aged 8; Edith, aged 6. and
Esther and Ruth II months old, twins
He had them out for the afternoon on
the water, and they rowed from place to
place and were about to drop the rock
used FOR an anchor again, when the rope
to which it was attached became en-
tangled with the right foot of Evan. and
IN his efforts to free himself he started
the boat to rocking. One of the twins
fell sidewise against the side Of the boat
and they all made a spring toward the
child, which capsized the boat. and
struggling and screaming the entire
family fell into the water.
The lake is filled with weeds which
grow up from the bottom, a horrible
fungus growth that fastens about the
body like the tentacles of an octopus.
and into this the unfortunates fell and
struggled in vain. Only the father, who
fought to free himself, arose to the sur
face, and when he came UP he had the
child Ruth under his arm but she was
dead when assistance reached him from
the shore, he having held it under the
water all the time, not knowing in his
excitement that he was drowning 1T.

ALBUQUERQUE On. NJ, Oct. Do
Full details of the stage robberieS In
Lincoln County Wednesday night were
brought to Albuquerque to-day by the
searching party sent out to hunt for the
coaches when they did not arrive at
their destination on time. Both stages,
one bound for San Antonio from White
Oaks and the other to White oaks
from San Antonio, were stopped at
point twenty-SiX miles west of White
Oaks. The drivers recognized the rob-
berS as members of the gang that
robbed the stages on the same route two
weeks ago. The amount of the loot they
got Wednesday night is not known.
The bandits, numbering three, halted
the weSt-bound stage first and then
waited for the east-bound coach, rob-
bing it at the same spot. They cut open
the mail sacks, taking the letters OF
value, and took two horses from each
stage. A box containing 81, 100 in silver
bullion on one of the coaches was not
taken, as the driverwhen asked by one of
the robbers what was in the box gave
1t kick and said it was a clock.
A posse Of seven men started from
San Antonio after the robbers, follow
ing the trail on the west side of the OS-
cura Mountains, going southwark.
Deputy United States Marshal Fowler
left San Antonio yesterday morning
with a posse. Postoffice Inspector Fred
ericks, who has been in Lincoln County
ever since the hold-up two weeks ago,
Is also on the ground. The robbers told
the drivers that they secured about
$500 from the hold-ups two weeks ago.
After taking the horses from both
stages they had one more than they
needed and they shot it SO that the stage
men would have no means of getting to
the station except on foot, thus consum-
ing more time and giving the robbers
better start. This band is the one that
attempted to rob a Santa Fe overland
train several weeks ago, when its leader
was killed. 1t includes upward Of a
score Of border deSperadoeS.
