Officer Fitzgerald, who was the first
man on the ground after the robbery,
states that the dust lay thick where
the operator made his entry. and that
only the tracks left by one person were
to be seen. This, taken with the state
nents of the telephone company en-
ployes, leaves a doubt as to whether
one or two men did the work.
A suspicious looking character was
noticed in the store the day before the
robbery, and his description tallies with
that Of one Of the parties who entered
the saloon carrying the tools, and both
descriptions answer to an ex-convict
who has been in the city Tor some
weeks and who Is well known by the

Experience for one term in Congress
trebly qualities a Congressman for efIl-
cieEt service in a second term. Indeed,
1t is true that a first-termer in Con-
gress is, as rule, handicapped so that
he is of very little use to his constitu-
ents. Congressman Johnson, however,
broke the ice of that rule, and by his
ability, his legislative skill and assid-
uity, took in his first session a prom
iuent position, and won the attention Of
the whole House. He thus advanced
front than had been done by any other
Congressman in a first term.

Denver, Nov. 3O.-State Engineer
Sumner returr.d this morning from
Holyoke, whtEe he attended meet
Ing OF the board of construction, con-
sisting Of the county commissioners
and himself, having supervision over
the state artesian well at that point
The contract for driving this well to
a depth OF 1,3O0 feet was awarded to
]. g. Swan OF Greeley. April 1. of the
present year, for $1,000. The wen was
to be cased with six-inch pipe. The
unusual conditions encountered in the
soil rendered 1t impossible to complete
the contract. After four months of
continuous work and experiments the
wen was sunk 10 depth OF $40 feet,
and of this distance all but the first
l15 feet was through gravel and clays
nlled with water. The soil was Of a
loose grayelly nature mixed with
quicksand, and 1t was found impossi-
bic 20 keep the bore clear OF the sedi-
meut TO admit Of coming to a greater
depth. Work was stopped in bed OF
quicksand through which 1t had been
driven l-3 feet.
While the original purpose of the
work was defeated, the enterprise has
proven OF great value to the state.
The water rises to the 115 foot level in
an inexhaustible body and with proper
pumping facilities would irrigate a
considerable territory. 1t has further
demonstrated that an artesian flow at
Holyoke rising to the surface cannot
be obtained
Engineer Summers theory is that this
iow Of water comes from the sand,
stone hills OF Dakota and finally finds
an outlet at the surface level at the
headwaters OF the Frenchman river in
Western Nebraska. This outlet being
tf5 feet lower on the gravel forma-
tion than Holyokc. precludes the water
rising higher at this point.
The board allowed the contractors

DARING HoLp-uP NEAR VICTOR
Engineer and Manager of the Anc. Miue
Robbed Last Night


Victor. Coio., Nov. 29.-About eight
o'clock tonight a daring hold-up was
perpetrated at the shaft house of the
Alice mine on Raven hill near the Elk
ton property. The engineer at the
Alice, ]. \. Phillips, had stepped out
side and just as he was passing by the
door on his return, two men. one short
and the other tall, having their feat
ures covered with black masks, entered
the shaft house. and covering Phillips
with their guns, marched him up to
where Mr.. d. V. Shotes, the mine man
agcr, was standing, and, lining the
men up, proceeded to go through them.
Phillips was robbed Of a fine gold
watch valued at S125, and consider
able amount OF money. Shoates lost
the amount OF small change which he
had in his pocket. The holdups. after
satisfying themselves they could get
nothing more OF value, bade Messrs.
Phillips and Shoates n pleasant good
night and ran down the side of the hill.
Phillips Immediately got his gun.
which was lying in the Office at the
time, and followed them, firing several
shots. The robbers escaped unharmed,
however, and up to date nothing has
been learned of their whereabouts. The
tall robber had the index finger of his
right hand missing. The police state
that man answering his description,
including the lack of the finger, was
caught begging ON the streets here last
evening, and was ordered to leave

Mistaken Sacrifices.

A certain woman, with a small in
come and a large heart, has a family
OF impecunious cousins-mostly girls,
of the type that cannot earn their own
living, and let themselves helplessly
down upon the nearest available bene-
factor She worried over them last
winter considerably, because she was
sure the necessaries of life were rum
ming low in their little house, and she
finally gave up her Christmas pres
ents to her own family, and sent the
cousins check instead. Two weeks
later she met two of the girls at a tea
they always go to everythin--and TO
her amaZement each wore n handsome
gold buckle at her waist. Dear Cousin
Jane" one of them said effusively, I'VE
were so grateful for your gift! We
have wanted buckles for a year, and
now we have gotten them through Your
kindness!' Cousin James feelings, as
she thought of her home Christmas sac
rficed for these adornments-butchc"
to make a Roman holiday, as it were
can be imagined.
She could sympathize with another
friend in New York, who gave up go-
ing to hear Patti, with her son and
daughter, in order that she might senr
the money for the three tickets-sl5-
to relatives, who. she knew. were much
straitened by the business crisis, and in
actual need of ready money. What was
her surprise to near, next day, that
three of the family had treated them
selves promptly to Patti on receiving
the check. TT came just in the nick
of time!" one of them said, apprecia-
lively; but, of course, Mrs. could
not feel 1t as pr7vidential happening
ps they seemed to do.
Three gentlemen, none of them
wealthy. meeting at sea shore last sum-
mer, happened to discuss the needs of
an old classmate, and each pledged
himself to aid toward a generous rift.
The recipient. when last heard from,
was enjoying the Atlanta exposition on
the proceeds, while his three benefac-
tors were trille sore over the affair,
which had cost them some troublesome
economies.
We all know such cases. They arc
both absurd and d;sneartcning, and

irresistible appearance? The Princess
feTcllnc fur Is at present the popular
style for outdoor wraps. The most
beautiful and costly garment of this
description seen this season is owned
and Worn by Mrs. o. II. Z. Belmont
mee Mrs. Alva VanderbilD. 1t is made
of Russian sable, and is said to have
cost fftesn thousand dollars. 1t is
eXqdistely cut and lined with Persian
silk, into which threads of gold and
reseda green are interviewer. The
skins which compose it are beautifully
matched.
But one need not spend so much
money on a Pereline. 1t is the style
and not the material that is the most
important. The favorite style of Pere-
line forms q deep, full cape, reaching
almost to the waist line at the back.
and terminating in broad stole ends in
front. whore they meet the hem of the
skirt. Only furs of the best quality are
used. When designed for a young wo-
man, II las a fringe of tails around the
circular cafe. and the stole ends are
finished of at the bottom in the same
manner.

Vor always among certain clique.
Smooth rather than fluffy furs are us d
for making Pelerines and capes as
their size, when developed in a long
haired fur. would make them awkward
in appearance.
Fur gowns have been conspicuous
this season both as ball dresses and
street costumes. Ermine is largely
used for the former gowns and every
variety Of it has been utilized for visit
ing toilets Prejudice forbids the wear
ing of erlnine save for the most elab-
orate social functions, where handsome
gowns are the rule and not the eXcep-
tion.
Among the most fashionable fur gar
ments is noted the trim, close fitting
jacket, with ripple back. This is usual
ly made of Persian lamb or sealskin.
The boa has resumed sway and is
meeting with much approval Short
boas, fastening at the neck with a head
and cluster of tails, are seen. They
are not so graceful as the long boas,
but have several good points to recon-
mend them.
The Triiby craze has at last reached
the fashionable world, and by the way
of England, as was natural, as the
fad is still in full sway there. Besides
the Trlby coat, Trilby shoe, Trilby hat,
and Trilby collar, there is now the
