 A bet was made in town yesterday that William Henry Theodore Durrant the Emanuel church fiend, would pay the penalty of the crime of which he was convicted, on January 7th, 1898. The odds given were three to one.

 The five train robbers when brought before Court Commissioner Culver for examination gave theiF names ss Leon ard AIverson, Henry Marshall, Walter Hoffman, William Warderman and F. L.. Carpenter. They have been identi- fad by the fireman and engineer of the engine which the robbers held up. The Court mmissioner remanded the prisoners to the custody of U. s. Mag shal Griffith, until the return of Judge Davis who will order them to be turned over to U. s. Marshal FoPcker, of New Mexico. It is FumoFed that the prison CTS will not be taken to New Mexico on 6 regular train. but that the railroad company will provide special train for the offenders. They certainly cannot complain of not bsipg shown euffi cient l attention and eonsideration.-Star.
 The question has been asked as to | what would be the puniahmsns inflicted l on the train robbers in case of their | conviction in New Mexico. Ia that | Territory the penalty of train robbing IS death. The officers making She csp- ture will make 8 neat little sum in case | of the conviction of their prisoners. They will receive from the Territory of l New Mexico the sum of three hundred ] dollars for the capture of each of the l Robbers-that is to say, each one who is i convicted. Besides this ;t is not at all unlikely that both the express company ] and the railroad company will also make sdditio: to the amount above stated. .-Star
