"a number Of the republican papers
Of the territory have, until very recent

and asserting that the only hope for
silver was through the republican par
ty. Since the st. Louis convention
there has been but one republican pa
per in New Mexico which had the con

opposition to Mckinley and the repub-
lican party with its gold platform.
Some of the republican papers vince
and say that the party make a mistake,
but they still cling to Mckinley and
protection; other republican papers
say that protection is of vastly more

Death Penalty.
Olympia, WASH, Dec. 24.-Two

list of names of rcen who must pay the
death penalty at an early day in King

affirmed the Judgment of the lower
court in the case of the state Va.
Michael, James and John MoCann.
Michael, the father, and John and
James, sons, were charged with killing
man named Cicero, August 81, 1895.
At the trial in the lower court, the IA
ther was acquitted and the brothers
were found guilty Of murder in the first
degree. James Mccain was candi-
date for road supervisor, and Cicero
opposed him, and much bad blood ex-
listed between the families for some
time preceding the crime. The morn
ing of the 2lst Michael picked quar-
rel with Cicero, while the latter was
working on the road. In the after
noon, the McCann boys renewed the
quarrel, and James knocked Cicero
down. Cicero went home and got
rife. The two brothers followed.
Cicero shot James in the arm, and they
grappled, both falling. John dragged
Cicero out and shot him in the head
with a pistol. The defense made
strong fight in the lower court. and
upon appeal raised many objections at
every stage of the proceeding, from
empaneling the jury to the charge by
the trial judge. However. the court
finds no error in the proceedings of the
superior court, and afirms the judg-
ment In the opinion, written by
Judge Scott, and concurred in by all
of the justices, the belief is expressed
that there was sufficient evidence
against Michael to warrant his con-
victlon with his sons.

Mining Engineer.
San Francisco, Dec. 24.-C. w. Has.
kell, superintendent of the Savannah
mine at Grug Gulch, in MADEIRA coun-
ty, has arrived in this city with the re-
mains of his wife, who was burned to
death last Thursday night. The body

in Denver to Mr.. Haskell, who is a
graduate of the United States naval
academy at Annapolis. and was for u
number Of years connected with govern
ment engineering work in various
parts of the country.
Mr.. Haskell's hands were badly
burned in attempting to smother the
fire in his wife's clothing. She had
placed a candle on box in the kitchen
of the house and got upon another box
to get some cake and other food to pre-.
pare luncheon for her husband and
herself. The bottom of her clothing
touched the candle, and in moment
her dress was in blazs. She ran
screaming out into the yard toward
her husbands Office, where he was en-
gagged writing letter. Selling a
blanket from bed in the Office, he ran
to his wife's assistance and tried to.
smother the blaze. He was only par.
TALLY successful in this effort, and
only succeeded in extinguishing the
flames with bucket of water.
He carried the dying woman into
the house and attempted with the rem
edies at hand to alleviate her agony,
but she died twenty-four hours after

HOLD-UP IN BLUE CUT.
Daring Work of Train Robbers Neal
Kansas City.

Kansas City.
Kansas City, Dec. 25.-Blue cut,
made historic through the operations
there of the James and Younger bands,
when they were pioneers in the train
robbing business, was the scene tonight
of it's fourth hold-up by road agents.
At 9:2O O'Clock tonight, the st.
Louis and Chicago express, which left
Kansas City at 8:45, was tagged at
Blue cut, and came to a standstill.
Masked men Immediately covered the
engineer and fireman and compelled
them to get down from their cab. At
the same time another member of the
band uncoupled the express car from
the rest of the train. The robbers
quickly climbed aboard the locomtive
and express-car and before the sur
prised trainmen had time to collect
their wits, the bandits were speeding
down the steep grade beyond Blue cut,
with the engine and espresso Car. The
express messenger, A. J. Frier, of st.
Louis. was a prisoner in the express
car. When they had gone safe dis
lance the robbers halted and proceeded
to rifle the contents of the express-car.
They forced the messenger to give up
the keys of the smaller safe, and open
ing it secured several packages of
money. They then attempted to blow
up the larger safe with dynamite, but
on being told by the messenger that it
contained no valuables, they desisted.
They then boarded the engine and
went about two miles down the track
where they abandoned it and made
good their escape, having secured sew
eral thousand dollars.
When the robbery became known at
Independence, a posse of county officers
set out for the scene of the hold-up,
and at midnight, County Marshal Kesh-
lar was arranging to send out force
of officers from Kansas City.
1t was at Blue cut in 1881 that the
James gang held up Chicago & Alton
express train, and made one of the big
gest hauls in the history of train-rob-
bling. A few years later, another big
tarin.robbery was committed at the
same place, and two months ago to-
night, on October 25, hold-up at
Blue cut occurred. The men who
planned the robbery in October were
novices, and got nothing. Two mem
bers of the gang have since been arrest
ed and are in iail

A Photograph That Proved Damaging
to the Defense.
Chicago, Dec. 25.-A Roentgen.ray
photograph, showing the picture OF
skull and the different bones aud an
imbedded bullet, provided valuable tes-
timony in Justice Kehoe's court at the
Desplaines- street station. Frank Du-
gan, 1853 Park avenue, was the defend
ant. The charge was preferred against
him by Thomas Talyor of assault with
intent to kill.
The night of December 10 quarrel
occurred, during which Taylor struck
Dugan. The latter drew revolver
and shot Taylor in the left side OF the
head near the temple. Taylor went to
the office of a physician, who dressed
the wound, but was unable to find the
bullet. &<ss
Taylor's testimony was unsupported
when he appeared in court, and when
the defense put in the claim that no
shots had been fred during the encoun-
ter, and that Dugan had only struck
TAYLOR ON the side of the head with the
revolver, it appeared that no case had
been made out.
City Attorney Ingram introduced w.
C. Fuchs, who said he had taken an
s.X, ray photograph of Taylor's head q
few days after the alleged shooting
took place and had discovered the bull
let near the left temple. The photo
graph showing full-sized head OF Tay..
Tor was then shown to the court. The
features of Taylor are visible. and
round black spot marks the place in
the mans head where the bullet now
lies.
Justice Kehoe, at the suggestion OF
Prosecutor Ingram, allowed the intro
duction OF the photograph as evidence.
