DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure

There is nothing violent or irritating

THE LAW FORBIDS.
Not on Your Monogram" Will You

About two hundred souls were
gathered in the Gem Saturday night,
called there by the announcement that
a glove contest was on the tapis. Every
body was jumping Sideways" to find
out when it was going to come off and
where it was going to take place
Promoter Upton was the biggest man
in the crowd and was interviewed and
questioned by the crowd, but he winked
the other eye and said nothing. All of
a sudden he grabbed a box containing
the gloves and called out that every
thing was ready and it would take
place in a few minutes. With this
announcement he went out of the front
door of the Gem, followed by the crowd,
he crossed Ell Paso street, passed the
First National bank and turned into
the alley leading into the back of the
now vacant Wigwam saloon. Unlock
ing the back door Of the Wigwam he
entered, lighted a lamp and was ready
for business when Sheriff Simmons
followed by Deputy Ten Eyck entered.
The sheriff told Upton the fight must
not take place on Texas soil and told him |
be would stop it if it were attempted. |
With this the sheriff walked away,

BLACK JACK. "
No One Seems To Be Able to Identify
the Prisoner.


Saturday afternoon John Mcdonald,
alias Black Jack, who was arrested
on The charge of being fugitive from
| justice, was removed from the city
lock up to the county jail, where he
| has been taking things cOOlly and
| quietly. Most of the officers do not
| think ne is the notorious train robber
who has been causing the railroads
and express companies so much trouble
in the past year, but the fact also
develOpes that no one is really able to
identify the real train rObber as none
of those who have made an attempt to
Identify him can give a clear descrip-
tiOn of the man who has been holding
up. the trains in Arizona and New
Mexico.
United States Marshal Hall and
Deputy Marshal LOOMS came down
from New Mexico yes 5eI dar, and
went to the jail and had a look at the
prisoner, who willingly submitted to
al the questions put to him and the
examinations Of his body, but they
could not identify the prisoner as be
ing the train rObber. Deputy LOOMS
was in the fight with the BLACK
New Mexixo, but as he only saw him
over the sights of his Winchester
and down the barrel of Jacks riff, the |
picture was only snap shot and was
entirely too much underlined to bring |
out the exact outlines clearly. Cap |
tain Carr still thinks h e has the right |
man. but thinks there will be trouble |
in proving it.
Messrs. Hall and LOOMS returned to
New Mexico last evening without
recognizing the prisoner, but it is re-
ported that new witnesses will arrive
by tOmOrrOw's Santa Fe, who viii Ee
fully able to say whether the man
arrested is the Black Jack wanted for
train robbery or not. The coming
witnesses know the rObber. If he is
not identified he will propably be given
MS liberty.

KILLED TWO MEN.
A Former Ell Pas0an Does easily
Work at New Zone. Cal.

Chas Kleupfer who killed two mer
at New Hope, Cal, last week, was well
known in Ell PaSO, and what's more
bore good reputation. He was a
stone mason by trade and was former
| iy a partner of Louis Hammer of this
city. The California papers gives the
account as follows:
The murderer had been playing
poker with two men named Archie
| Norris and John Gould during the
afternoon, and after some disputlng
/ the men left Kleupfer's place and went
across the road to a saloon kept by
Henry Awre, where they took seats
and entered into conversation with
| Dodge and Borland, who made their
| home close by and were Willing
away time in the saloon. Kleupfer
| followed and started to make trouble.
and Dodge and BOrlanG arose and lead
| him out of the place, without using
much force, but as peacemakers, as
| they always were.
| The enraged Kleupfer turned about
as he got to the door and shot with a
pistol four times. BOrland fell dead in
| his tracks, shot through the head, and
Dodge ran to the back of the room,
where he fell dead, without uttering d
word.
After the shooting Constable McCul-
| lagh walked toward the murderer and
remarked that he had better consider
| himself under arrest. Kleupfer cover
| ed the constable with the same revolver
| with which he had already killed two
men and said that he guessed not.
For two hours the murderer kept the
constable under cover of the revolver.
while the officer stayed with the propo-
sitiOn, looking for the opportunity to
get the drop himself.
The opportunity came and McCul-
lagh took it. For a moment Klcupfer
| took his eye off the officer and seemed
to drOop. 1t was the first relaxation
he had for over an hour. 1t was
| mOmentary, but long enough.
The constable drew his own pistol
with bis right hand from the front left
side of his trousers and swinging his
arm from him struck the murderer
stunning blow just above the eyes. A
big cash was cut and one of the eyes
was badly discolored and lacerated.
With the assistance of others whom
he called McCullagh put handouts on
his prisoner, and though Keupfer
once tried to get a shotgun and kill his
captors he did not get the upper hand
again.
At the jail be srefused to say
word about the case, declaring that
1.-The public knows too much already"
Once he inundated that he had a
SGOry 10 Tell, DuG SdIu LndJ II would DOt
be told to any one but his attorney or
until he was brought to trial To the
officers he has said that he was being
cheated by his partners and wanted to
kill both of them before he quit the |
killing business.
Klenpfer has two brothers-one in |
Idaho and one in Oakland. A nephew, |
who is an engineer at Alameda, arrived |
this evening, but has not yet seen the |
prisoner
