STOPPED THE WRONG MAN.
The ''Sure Thing" Box Not Found.

On last Monday young man came
to Ell Paso from Dallas and stopped at
Mrs. Wilcox's boarding house on Utah
street. After he arrived there was
some very valuable property stolen
from Mac Wi son, who is said to be
''sure thing'' stee-er. The property
in question was specially built faro
box which he said cost him 81 500;
with the use of this box an unsuspect-
ing victim could not possibly win.
Yesterday the young man started to
go out on the Texas and Pacific for the
east and Wilson got Cnief of Police
Lockbart to go to the depot and
search the valise of the young fellow
whose name is Harry HELEN.
The chief got out a search warrant.
When the two of them arrived at the
and Wilson pointed out the man that
he suspected of having taken the box.
The chief went to the young man and
told him what he wanted with him.
The Young fellow became little in
djgpant at first, but swallowed his
wrath and told him be was willing to
have his grip searched, and then the
chief told him to GO on in the car, SO
as not to attract any attention. When
and the chief went through it and
found nothing.
After having made the search the
chief asked where the young man liv-
ed and where q letter could resch him
and the answer was that he lived At
Cleburne. Texas, and would be there
next week. The chief excused his act.
and left the car.
AS soon as the young fellow was left
to himself he told those near in q
laughing way that that was one time
| the chief of police made q mistake. He
then left the car and went up to the
gambler, Wilson, who b d made the
! complaint to the chief and told him
that be WAS glad he lost the "sure
| thing" box and he hoped that the time
would come when he could catch him
| in the lower end of the state and then
he would swear out q search warrant
against him, and if he found any of
| those boxes in his possession he would
| have him sent up. The prospects were
pretty good for fight for little while
| between the gambler Wilson and the
young man.
TIE train pulled out and the stran-
ger went with it, while the chief and
| the gambler came back up town with
out their expected prisoner.

Thursday evening Feb. 3rd, the

New Jersey Poll Tax Law.

1t is now some four or five years
since member of the town COM
mittee repeatedly made the motion,
that delinquent poll-taxers should
be taken by the officer, and prompt
ly locked up, on refusal to pay his
poll tax. One member would recol-
lect that lawyer had told some one
once in long time ago, that it would
perhaps be a risky thing to do, and
another member would also reeol-
lect that quite a number of his con-
stituents We're among that class,
AMI he sort o. concluded it was
rather tough thing to take a man
to Jail just for poll-t tax, and so the
motion would be voted down. Thus
a number of poll taxes due from
able bodied men were lost that
should have been collected. "Un-
d er the laws of New Jersey the tax
collectors blanket warrant for the
collection OF taxes Is Sufnclen6 war
rant for the arrest of those who fail
to pay, therefore no legal process is
needed to collect poll taxes. " The
town committee should instruct the
collector to collect all that they do
not exempt. He is charged with
the duplicate, less the exemptions,
and they can, and should hold him
responsible for every dollar of it.
That is, in case they hold his bond
and it is gooa for anything, If not,
then better hold their breath a lit
tie bit. At any rate there is nc
earthly use of the town paying for
assessing poll taxes unless they are
collected. H.

The Delaware Valley Hudson and
Lehigh surveyors are busy running
a line from here to Port Jervis.
This company has already surveyed
line from Stroudsburg to this
place, and only needed this link to
complete the route so it could be
adopted as a whole. The purpose is
to construct a road from Saylors-

POLITICAL REVIEW.

The campaign is now assuming
immense proportions and the devel-
opments of the past week lend in
terest in the struggle for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor. The
meeting held at the Philadelphia
BOurse, and which was attended by
representatives from every county
in the state, adopted resolutions that
denounced one man power and
pledged their support to eX-Post-
master General John Wanamaker
for governor, providing he consented
TO be a candidate. A committee was
appointed TO wait upon Mr. Wanna
maker and inform him that he was
the choice of the assent blage, and
insist upon him coming out for the
nomination. After the customary
grace period it is supposed that Mr..
Wanamaker will announce his can
didacy and enter actively into the
fight, although he was not an aspir-
ant for the governorship. 1t is the
ambition of the Lsaguers to get a
candidate out early so in case of re-
fusal to allow the use of the General s
name another meeting will! be called
this month to decide upon "A candi-
