Putting Crooks Away in q Place Of
Safety.
The police are actively engaged In a cru
sade against crooks Of all characters and
strenuous efforts are being made to have
such gentry behind the bars during the in
atsuration period. Bud Warner. colored.
one or the most dangerous burglars and
thieves who ever operated in this city, was
before Judge Kimball today and he was
sent TO the work house for sixty days In
default of 500 bonds.
By his own admissions. Warner has spent
sninteen years of his life in the penitentiary,
and he Is yet very young man. The first
time he went to states prison for three
years. the second time for seven years and
the third time for nine years. He has been
to the jail and the work house times with
out number He was arrested yesterday
morning by Sergt. Daley Of the South
washington precinct as suspicious char
acter. His speciality is second-story burg
laries. Warner gained some notoriety in
1870 by marrying a white woman in the
District Jail. He has not seen her since the
ceremony.
This man was released from the peni-
tentiary last October" explained Sergt.
Daley to the court. He is q dangerous
character. He resided in Baltimore until
last Saturday, when he came here and took
up his residence in house of prostitution
in Willow Tree alley In view of the inau-
guration, We thought he would be a good
man to lock up
Detective Rhodes told Judge Kimbaii tha.
he has known Warner for eighteen years.
What Is his character" asked the court
He Is the most clever thief of my ac-
quaintance," replied the detective.
Several other policemen testified against
Warner. Attorneys Moss and Peyton, who
appeared for the defendant made an earn
est plea for his release He was guilty of
no overt act, they claimed and was ar
rested merely because he had served time
IN the penitentiary. He was now leading an
upright life and should in their opinion. be
formed.
The law is intended to cover Just such
= cases, remarked the court, In disposing of
the Satter. THE fact that this defendant
resided in Baltimore until just week be-
fore the Inauguration is suspicious on the
face Of 1t. The community must be pro-
tected from such men. Two hundred dol

gether and the frozen bodies of the
parents, who had been unable to make
their way against the wild force of the
storm. We're found near the famous LAS
dale Tarn. The incident has frequent
ly been the subject of story and. if we
remember rightly, Wordsworth also
utilized it. We refer to it now in con-
sequence of the death of Mrs. Hail. the
last survivor of the orphan family. at
the age of 90. She was the Youngest of

that she should have passed away at
time when the SnOW-which had such

Reports from above are conf ictiug
on high water. The Santa Fee receiv-
ed word that there was a two inch rise
at San Antonio, but this would indicate
that the water was falling, as two
in oh rise there would not reach here
for week and the evaporation is
more than two inches between
Ell PasO and San Antonio.
Parties in yesterday from San Mar
cial say that they do not know where
the Ell Paso water is coming from as
there has been no rise up there since
last Thursday a week and that rise was
caused by heavy rains and cloud
burst on the tributaries of the Rio
PuercO.
1t is evident that the present flood is
not caused by melted snow in the
mountains of Southern Colorado, as the
weather has been cool up there and
only a small amount of snow has melt
ed. The melted snow rise will come
later.
THE FIRST TRAIN OVER.
The first train over the washOut ar
rived at l 80 p. m tOday,at the Southern
special from Philadelph a, the time
for the transfer requiring from 40
to the hour first mentioned. An en-
CINE pushed the train so that there
would not be the weight of the engine
to press the road bed down ere the
cars went over it, and progress was
made very, very slowly. The road bed
sagged and the water in places came
up to the car aXleS, but by judicious
manoeuvering the transfer was finally
effected safely, and the way the hearts
of the party came up out of their shoes
and into their proper places was eau
ton, as tile dry land was reached.
The train was attached to the con-
struction train, and the whole com bin
alton pushed up to the Ell Paso station.
The conductors had no kick coming,
they were delighted to get out of the
washOut safe and sound, and realized
the risk that had been run by the local
management in rescuiug them from the
predicament they had been in for the
last five days. There was crowd at
the depot to see the party arrive, and
the cars were at once iced and watered
and cleaned for the continuing OF the
trip westward later.
The Texas & Pacific people followed
with a train load of perIshable freight
which they had been keeping wi h
more or less difficulty on the other side
Of the break: but at this moment of
writing, it is rot known what success
had attended to the attempt.
The L. q p. gave up the attempt to
run their perisnable freight over the
break this afternoon, and have begun
transferring.
Reports this afternCon from San Mar
cial says three inch rise is coming
down.
The ievee put up by the city south of
the canal bank is about three inches
above the water on the river side and
about two feet above the water on the
canal side % L
up near the brick yards the water
would probably pass over the dams
built around the houses in the south
eastern part of town. They had better
guard the levee closely night and day
until the water ia Is as the top of the
levee is only eighteen inches wide aad
the slightest thing would cause wash
out, and a two inch break would widen
hour.
