RoBBER WANTS TO BE FORGIVEN.
Emmett Dalton, Who Assisted in the Muir
derous Robbery, Asks Clemcncy.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec, 19.-Emmet
Dalton, who was captured during the
attempt at wholesale bank robbery in
Cofleyille. Kas.. FIVE years ago and
sentenced to Imprisonment for life, is
about to apply for a pardon. Judge j.
ID. McCue of this city, who was for five
years judge of the district court Of
Montgomery county, Kan, and who
passed sentence upon Emmett Dalton
has received the following letter:
Judge j. d. McCue, Kansas City, Mo-,
Dear sir:-When the proper times
comes l shall, as a matter of course
make application for executive cleme-
ency and would value letter of rec
concentration from you very highly, as
| think 1t would have great weight on
my case. l shall put forth my best en-
deavors to merit any favor which may
be shown in the way OF procuring for
me another chance to see something of
this life, and give me hope for the
future.
You may be somewhat surprised at
my making this request. at this time,
but, knowing the uncertainties of life,
l feel that through some mishap
might not be able to reach you at
later day. AS you are thoroughly ia
miliar with the facts and circumstances
connected with the case, l feel that 1t
would be useless waste of time, as
well as an imposition on your patince,
to relate them to you now. l believe
you can and will help me. without any
way injuring or compromising your
self.
VIII you kindly write and forward to
me such a letter of recommendations d-
dressed to the governor and board of
pardons, as will do me for future use
Thanking you in advance for any kind
ness shown in the matter,I am, sincere
ly yours, EMMETT DALTON.
When Judge McCue was asked il he
would grant the request of the out
law. he replied: II certainly could not
consistently recommend executive
clemency now. What action | might
take some years later,I cannot now
say. There is no question In my mind
but that Dalton should be severely
punished"
In the Dalton raid, four of the
desperadoes and four citizens We're
killed and number injured. Emmett
Dalton was severely wounded and cap
tured while attempting to assist his
brother Rob, who was fatally wounded,
to escape.

BIG FIRE IN ST. LOUIS.
Family Barely Escape With Lifc-Heavy
Financial Loss.


ST. Louis, Dec. ia fire started In
the basment of the building occupied
by the Mermod and Jaccard Jewelry
company, at the corner of Locust and
Broadway early this morning, and in
an almost incredibly short time, the
five-atory building was completely
Quilted. The total loss will reach 1885,
900, fully covered by insurance.
The fire had been burning some time
before 1t was discovered at 4:i0
o'clock. and at o'clock the south
wall and all the floors began falling,
making one of the flercest and quick
est fires in the annals of the city.
Next to the boiler room, in the base
ment, was room used for packing.
II is thought that the fire started in
the boiler room, communicating to the
packing room and shooting up the ele-
vator shaft, quickly spread over the
building. W. a. Rutledgc, the engineer,
and his family lived on the fourth floor.
They barely escaped with their lives.
The firemen dragged them uncon-
scious from the their beds and carried
them down the fire escape. Five min
utes later the floors fell. Several other
tenants in the building had narrow
escapes, but there We're no fatalities.
The Mermod and Jaccard Jewelry
company was one of the largest in the
world, and being Christmas season.
carried an immense stock One-half of
the stock had been placed in the two
large vaults and saved but the rest,
as well as the building and its fixtures
was totally destroyed.
The company occupied two floors
and the basement of the structure on
the fifth floor was the repair shop. A
large amount of repair work had been
finished. and most of 1t was saved by
the salvage corps. The corps also saved
a dozen or more grandfather clocks
IN
each, and many old Vienna vases and
valuable pieces of pottery. The silver
ware. melted by the heat. will be
found under the debris of fallen tim
Der.
on the first floor, left out of the
vaults, We're clocks, silverware, china,
art pottery, cut glassware and other
articles. all Of which will be a total
loss.
There were over forty tenants in the
building, whose losses range from $500
to $4,000. partially insured. The firm
carried insurance amounting to $780,
900, which, II the stock in the vaults
is found correct. will amply cover the
loss sustained.
Late tonight one burned-out firm de-
cided to continue in business, and to-
morrow will take possession of the
store and stock of another leading Jew
eler in this city, which they have
bought. The firm that goes out of
business is that of A. Kurtzborn G.
Sons.
The Model Cloak company, in the
northeast corner of the building was
wiped out. sustaining loss of $780, 600
on which there is an insurance of
three-fourths.
The building was owned by the estate
of the late Luther NJ. Kennett. but I'M
der lease to the Mermod- Jaccard COM
pany. The firm estimates the value of
the building at $4,000. upon which
there was an insurance of 100000.

vana on Monday to meet Arangueren,
not upon an official mission, and only
as n friend. 1t is not known how
Rodriguez arrived. but the fact is that
the leader ordered the shooting of
both.
"The ferocity OF such act and pro-
ceeding indicates better than anything
else the faith in autonomy,the trans
