GEORGE HICKS
Falls in With Bad People at Whatcom
Wash, and is Robbed Of $3.50.

Geo. Hicks, a resident Of this city for
the past twelve years or more, started
for Washington about the first Ut May
with a view Of proceeding to Alaska. 1t
seems that he is still in Washington,
and at Whatcom, on the 18th inst. wa
robbed of his "roll,' amounting TO
$3.50. The DAILY LEADER is indebted
to j. A. Grant of Port Angeles, Wash,
for the following particulars OF the
affair, taken from a local paper:
The question as to who beat and roo
bed George Hicks of $3.50 on the night
Of June Ii last has been answered and
the man who committed the crime Is IN
| iail. where he faces the certainty OF a
sentence of at least fifteen or twenty
years in the penitentiary. The solution
of the mystery came in the confession OF
the wife OF the guilty man, who Is also a
prisoner with him, charged with being
one OF the principals in the crime.
The crime in question was committed
on the night Of Monday, June Il last
aud created quite an excitement at the
time. George Hicks, the man who was
robbed. was an old soldier, &C years OF
age.
On the foregoing Monday night a man
cama into Hicks room and after striking
him over the head with a revolver and
infict,ng several unimportant KNIFE
wounds in the abdomen and otherwise
bruising him he took q belt containing
about 5000 aud tore two pockets out OF
his clothes ill., which we're sewed up near
~ 500. after which he succeeded II
making his escape.
On Tuesday evening at $ O'clock Isaac
W. Aids was arrested by the ponce
charged with the crlme. On "Wednesday
morning Mrs. Mary +. Aids. his wife
was taken into custody, charged witt
aiding her husband. The circum
stances pointed strongly to Aids gull
and Hicks swore positively he Recognized
him ma his ~assailant. II Aids was tn
ou;lty man his wife must have been al
accessory. SO the state reasoned as IN
robber had to pass through her room t
reach that OF his victim. Then, too, tn
/ outcries Of Hicks brought no respons
from Mrs. Aide. Altogether the Gil

the guilty parties.

Her father, aged s., begged her to con.
Tess if she did it and throw herself on
the mercy Of the court. He urged her
to do this to save herself and
her children. Sunday morning she
consented to this and Sunday afternoon.
in the Sheriff's Office. in the presence OF
the Sheriff, Deputy Brisbin and Jailor (,
Bryan, she told Prosecuting Attorney
Romano the whole story.
Her story in substance is as follows:
That she is the wife of Isaac WI
Aids. the other defendant in the case.
On the day OF the robbery Aids started
out in the country to seek work, While
she and MIR. Hicks looked for a house.
Aids, however. returned about IL
| o'clock and got his tools to begin work
at carpentering. After a few more III
important things she came down to the
night of the robbery. About 10 o'clock
Hicks retired. She and the children
retired shortly afterwards. About IL
o'clock Aids came into her room ard
told her he had decided to rob
Hicks. She demurred but be told
her had fully decided to do It, for
if he didn't some q else would
and that be might as we'll have 1t as
somebody else. She finally consented,
as she greatly feared him and was afraid
to oppose him further. She returned
to bed and he came in shortly afterwards
and passed on into Hicks room. I'm
mediately afterwards she heard the
scutle and Hicks cutlery followed later
by his saying he would give up the belt.
Aids then made his escape running out
through her ROOM. That she saw him
next day at , .. m. When he told her
where the money was hid. That she
next saw him six hours later when be
came home and was arrested. She says
the girl who was under suspicion is guilt
less.
1t is likely that the Prosecuting At
torney will move to dismiss the charge
against her so as to set her at liberty
that she may take care OF the children.
Yesterday afternoon Aids VAS con
fronted with his wife's confession and
asked to make a clean breast of it. AT
first be refused, but finally told all and
! offered to take the officers to the place
where the money was hid. He took
them this morning to where the SlSC

New Mexico Volunteers.

Saturday evening $3.50 men from New
Mexico started to the front in the war
with Spain, and going as they do with a
regiment of rough riders and ready fight
ers, they will probably be among the
first troops to land in Cuba.
The greater number of the men were
in Santa Fe a week, and in that time
their behavior was such as to impress
every one with their earnestness and
quiet determination to do whatever duty
points out. During the time they were
in this city not a single disturbance oc-
Cured either on the streets or in quar-
tiers, and aside from the hustle and stir
of preparation and organization, no N
would have known anything unusual
was going on. A more courteous COM
pany of men never gathered in one place
from all parts of the territory, and the
citizens of Santa Fe were sincerely sorry
to see them leave.
But they have gone, and that upon a
journey filled with peril from battle and
disease, but no matter in what straits
the boys may be placed, New Mexico will
never need be ashamed of the actions of
New Mexico's battalion of the First regi-
ment United States volunteer cavalry.
Their conduct in this city is a guarantee
for their bravery in battle, honorable
conduct in city and camp, and their ten
der care of the innocent and helpless.
The New MEXICAN sincerely trusts
that the war will be of such short dura-
ton that they may never be called
into battle, but knows that should it be
necessary to fight the New Mexico vol
unteers will give an account of them
which will make the world ring
with their praise. 1t is truly an honor
to march in the ranks of such men.

into vogue are plain. Princess gowns have
usually a slight train and are very close
fitting around the hips.
A novel skirt is made in three enormous
plaits, very narrow at the top, where they
incase the hips, and growing wide toward
the foot, so as to allow an ample flare.
Skirts mounted on a tight yoke are also
new.
Today's picture shows an attractive and
very new walking gown Of nickel gray
cloth. The sheathlike skirt, which Is In
one piece, ia ornamented around the hips
by horizontal rows of stitching. The tight
plain bodice is slightly double breasted
and terminates at the waist in two crossed
points. The small shawl collar is faced
with black grosgrain, and the tight sleeves
are plain. Two ornamental buttons deco
rate the bodice, and a orayat Of cream
mousseline Is worn. The hat Of fancy
straw is trimmed with a drapery Of glace
faille and also has large punches Of.violets,

The New Mexican's Creditable Work.

The New MEXICAN feels that it has
every reason to be proud of its work
during the enlisting and mastering OF
New Mexico's quota OF the 1st regiment
United States volunteer cavalry. From
the day of President McKinley's call for
1854 600 volunteers to take part in the
war with Spain, until the last section OF
the train for San Antonio left the depot
in this city, this journal never missed
an opportunity to urge upon the people
to send volunteers and to aid the gov
ernor of the territory to furnish New
Mexico's quota at once. When the vol
unteers began to arrive in Santa Fe
from different parts of the territory,
their names were secured and carefully
published, and on Saturday, when the
four troops A, B, C and D had been
| filled and mustered the name of every
commissioned officer, with a short BIZ
o%graphical sketch, was given, and the
names of the men in the ranks were
printed in full.
As a record of the enlistment of the
New Mexico volunteers, the daily issues
of the New MEXICAN, beginning with
Saturday, April 80, the day the first re-
cruits arrived, up to and including Sat
urday, May 7, are invaluable, and last
Saturdays paper should be filed away
for reference when news begins to come
from the front. The completeness of
that issue, as to names and organization,
is such that every n of the 1856 men
from this territory, belonging to the
regiment can be kept track of.
Nor is that all. No other paper In the
territory aided so much in fastening the
organization and departure of the bat
talon as did the New MEXICAN. All
party, personal and sectional feeling, If
there was any, was laid aside, and
everything that could be done in that
direction was gladly and freely done,
and while the expense was considerable,
should occasion arise, the same work
will be done again. OF all these things
the New MEXICAN is proud, for the rea-
son that they but add to the reputation
| of excellence it has borne in the past.
In order to continue the work of keep
ing the people of New Mexico informed
regarding the conduct and duties OF
sour boys" arrangements have been
made whereby the daily routine of camp
life, the marches, battles, and incidents
of war in which they will participate
will be reported and published, thus
making a file OF this paper a complete
history of the New Mexico battalion of
the 1st regiment United States volunteer
cavalry.
1t is safe to say that the New MExI.
CAN will be the only paper in the terri.
tory which will be able to furnish news
of such absorbing interest, and those de-
string to receive 1t a do so by placing
their names on the subscription list OF
| this Daper.

A PLAYED out roue, who calls himself

FASHIONS CHANGES.

Present and Coming Notifications Of the
Wardrobe.
The fashion of very wide and very rigid
skirts and immense sleeves held on for a
surprisingly long time, considering how
extreme 1t was, but it has collapsed rather
suddenly. Now everything is soft, cling
ing, undulating. Skirts are quite inno-
cent Of crinoline and come closer and clos
or to the figure. They are even cut q little
too long at the back and sides, in order to
give a sinuous effect. As for sleeves they
have gone down like a prloked balloon,
and the old fashioned sleeve Of the eelskin
variety, without drapery or epaulet, is ap-
parently on its way toward rehabilitation.
OF course this change Of style Is favor
able to all soft materials, and oriental
fabrics are in great demand. Transparent
goods are much used over silk Innings,
but these Innings, instead of being con-
fined to certain established rules and be-

when the outside is white or black, as has
