afterwards Il was decided that he was
suffering from an attack of delirium
tremens- He continued his story. how
ever. which was that the guards had
driven him out of nearly all of the cities
on the Pacific coast, and the last place
was from Boise. Now they were try
ing to drive him from Salt Lake. They
charged him with marrying young girls
and running Off with their money,
leaving them penniless.

up all the previous night on charge
of this kind. but had not been allowed

was placed in the bunk house. but came
out few minutes later saying the
place was not safe, as he could hear the

GOULD IN CHICAGO.
Young Edwin and Party on Tour of
Inspection.

Chicago, April 3O.-Edwin Gould and
party of six arrived in Chicago last
evening on a tour of pleasure and bust
ness combined. Mr.. Gould purposes to
spend several days in this city, after
which he will go direct to St. Louis, and
from there go south via the st. Louis
and Southwestern company known as
the Cotton line route, and inspect his
large railroad holdings in Texas.
The party with Mr.. Gould consists of
Mrs. Gould and maid, Edwin Gould, jr.,
and nurse, Mrs. George F. Shrady and
William H. Taylor, his private secreta-
ry. They left New York Tuesday
evening at o'clock in Mr.. Gould's pri-
The length of the trip will depend en-
tirely on the condition of things in New
York. Should the war scare bring
about a crisis on the stock exchange
Mr.. Gould might be obliged to take a
hasty leave and look after his interests
in Wall street. Although he realizes
that things are in a very uncertain con-
ditiOn on the stock market just at pres
ent, he is not inclined to view the situ-
alton with any alarm. He is of the
opinion that stocks will hold firm until
q decisive engagement has been fought,
when they will advance or decline ac-
cOrding to the outcome of the fight. At
all events United States securities are
bound to recover soon even if temper
arily depressed.
When asked if he had intention OF
buying any more railroads in Texas Mr..
Gould disclaimed any such intention
railroad enough to manage in one
State?' On the return trip from Texas
the party will stop off a day at Kanka-
kee to inspect the plant of the Conti-
mental Match company.
w. H. Taylor, Mr.. Gould's private
secretary, says his employer is enthus-
iastic over the war question. He has a
strong desire to initiate the patriotic
example of his brothers Howard and
George, who donated their pleasure
yachts to the government: Not owning
a yacht himself, he is unable to initiate
them in that particular and is accord
ingly casting about for some other ex-
pedient. IF he were only in good
health said Mr.. Taylor, che would not

WORKED THE FARMERS.
Smooth Rogue Represented Himself
to Be a Special Santa Fe Official

Arkansas City Traveller: Yesterday
G. c. Montgomery, special officffier of
the Santa Fe, and John Law, Santa F'e
night watch here, went to Newkirk to
get a man who had been impersonating
an officer and an employee of the Santa
Fe.
The mans name is William Rose and
he says he is from Texas. He was
working the farmers along the line OF
the Santa Fe. His scheme was to go
to a farmers place and look around
for old railroad ties. If he found any
he would tell the farmer that he was a
Santa Fe officer and if he did not pay
him something he would arrest him.
OF course the farmer if he had the ties
would gladly give up SIS or $40 to
keep from being arrested on a charge of
stealing. Rose would pocket the money
and drive on to the next victim
The officers found their man at the
farm belonging to Paul SeHgman. He
started to leave, but the officers got
him before he got very far. They took
their man to Newkirk and before the
court swore ont a warrant charging him
with impersonating an officer and OBJ
tanning money under false pretences.
After looking over the facts in the case
they allowed him to plead guilty to the
charge of misdemeanor and he was CIV
en- a $40 fine and 80 days in jail.
