THEY RODE BACK
Colorado Desperadoes Escape and Are
Promptly Recaptured

Promptly Recaptured
DENVER, Col. March PA special to
the Rocky Mountain News from Steamboat
Springs, Col, says:
News reached here Of jail-break by
Liant and Tracy, members Of the Rob
bers' Roost" gang who have been for some
time incarcerated in the Jail at Hahn's
Peak, and their subsequent recapture
through a fortunate move Of the sheriff.
Tuesday night, while Sheriff Nieman was
employed in his duties about the jail, the
two desperate prisoners overpowered him
and escaped. Liant struck the sheriff
heavy blow from behind, knocking him
down. Both men then began to beat and
kick him. Sheriff Nieman, fearing they
would kill him, feigned insensibility. They
then bound and gagged him, and taking his
money and the keys to the jail, locked him
in, and, stealing a pair of horses, started
south. Sheriff Nieman soon succeeded in
releasing himself from his bonds, but It
took some time to attract the attention Of
outsiders, and still longer for them to break
the lock of the jail so as to let him out, 50
that the robbers had been gone fully an
hour before posse was started in pursuit.
At Steamboat Springs Sheriff Nieman and
deputy boarded the southbound stage,
hoping to reach the Rio Grande railroad be-
fore the fugitives did. At Larimore ranch,
six miles from Steamboat Springs, Liant
and Tracy walked up to the stage coach
and asked If they could ride to Wolcott.
They were Immediately covered by the
guns of the officers and surrendered With
out an effort to resist, neither being armed.
The sheriff recovered his valuables and
started back to Hahns Peak with his pris-

would not be accepted by the American
people there was round of applause. Our

the general conditions In the country, and
Low. Republican, Of New York, in compar-
ing the navies abroad with those of this
country said that had the steps nows being
taken to increase the navy been taken
years ago the United States today might be
fitted to cope with the navies abroad on a
more equal footing.
Skinner Popul.st Of North Carolina re-
ferred to the war preparations and said al
most every country in Europe was voting
money to augment its military establish
ment for possible conflict and that Spain
was hawking it's deprecated credit in ev-

The other speakers were Fitzgerald,
Democrat, of Georgia; Kitchen. Democrat,
of North Carolina, and Osborne, Democrat,
OF Wyoming.

THE KASSON CASE
Furnishes Amusement While It Ad-
vances Very Slowly

STOCKTON, March 24.-Today's doings
in court were quite sensational. Hot words
passed between attorneys, one OF whom
was fined SO for contempt of court. The
attorney stated that he would not pay the
fine and the court remarked: Every well,
proceed with the case"
At the noon adjournment Judge Jones
requested all the lawyers to remain in the
court room. They did so. Calling up the
attorney whom he had fined he said:
II imposed fine on you which you re-
fused to pay. Do you still refuse to pay it 2"
Yes, sir, do," said the attorney.
"Mr Clerk" said the judge. taking SO
gold piece from his pocket and handing 1t
to the clerk Of the court, ''please enter that
fine as paid"
The attorney said he did not want anyone
to pay his fine, and handing $40 to the clerk
told him to give 1t to charity. The clerk
refused 1t, but later when the court rec
commended it, accepted the fine and $40
more with the understanding that it be
given to the Old Ladies and Childrens'
home. The only important development
of today's trial was the testimony of Mrs.
Malloy, the alleged widow of Kasson. Yes
terday she could not remember whether
she had obtained divorce from Kasson
and today she was positive that she had

the first money decided to postpone shoot
Ing of the ties until tomorrow morning.
This year the Interstate association has
offered a special prize, very handsome
silver cup, and this will go to the win
ner. The conditions Of the shoot off will
be miss and out"
Mrs. w. p. shattuck. who killed nine out

Senior suares of the Spanish Consulate

Senior Suarez Of the Spanish Consulate
Of this city:
1--WE do not believe that there will be
an actual war between Spain and the
United States, but II such a thing should
happen it would be because the United
States has insulted Spain. You have In
this country given a home to those men
who are traitors to Spain and have
waged a war against her. Even in this
city the headquarters of the Cuban
Junta are located, and from these head
quarters all the plans of the campaign
in Cuba against Spain are prepared and
supplies for the rebels are arranged for,
and this is done within two blocks Of
our consulate. The United States and
Spain are friendly nations and there
fore, to say the least, it is surprising
that the rebels in Cuba should be al-
lowed to arrange their plans Of cam
paign in this country"
