Once when l was a boy overlook
a very wise old man stalled with a
heavy load on slippery hill. The
poor team could not keep their
feet, but would tall whenever they
tried to go up with the load. So
the old man put two heavy men
on each horse and then they
walked up the steep bank and
never slipped at all. The we light
of the riders held them down and
they were able to keep their feet.

Turk that the plaintiff is entitled to lot

ACCOMPLISHED NEGRO
AN EXTENSIVE LINGUIST AND
CAPITAL ATTORNEY
Lemon Examined by Justice Owens
Yesterday on Charge of Having
Committed Burglary

In l.. C. Lemon, Jamaican negro and an
ex-convict, the authorities have found
hard nut to crack as he is one of the
brightest prisoners they have had in years.
Lemon was examined by Justice Owens yes
terday on a charge of having entered the
room of James Robinson at 1873 West Eigh-
teenth street and stolen quantity of val
liable documents. consisting of mortgages,
deeds and papers of similar character, rep
resenting many thousands of dollars. When
the papers were missed Robinson ~ rtise
for them in a morning paper offering re-
ward of $50 for their return. Previous to
the appearance of the advertisement Lemon
went to B. L. Mills, an attorney in the Brad
bury building, and producing some of the
missing papers, informed him that he had
found them on a dump pile beyond West
lake park, and requested that Mr.. Mills
watch the newspapers and see if reward
was not offered for them. When Mills saw
the newspaper containing the advertise
ment he produced the papers and claimed
the reward.
1t appears that only portion OF the pa
pers had been turned over by Lemon, and
as the most important ones, those which
had not been recorded were still missing.
the reward was not paid and the police
detectives were notified. They called upon
Lemon, questioned him, and finally the dar-
key said he would go out and search fur
Their, returning after time with more pa
pers and dress coat and vest wnlch had
also been stolen from Robinson. The officers
thought these circumstances very strange.
but did not take Lemon into custody until
Robinson had returned from Denver. Len
on was then charged with the burglary Of
Robinsons apartments
Lemon iSa remarkably bright darkey and
acted as his own attorney at tie examina
ton, taking extensive notes of the testimo-
ny in shorthand. He examined the witnesses
for the prosecution in splendid style, and
by the time he had completed the cross
examination the case did not look very
strong against him. Justice Owens took the
matter under advisement.
Even if Lemon should be discharged from
the allegation of burglary, he will probably
be tried on a charge of bigamy. In 1856 h,
was convicted of an assault. upon his step
daughter and sentenced to twelve years in
| the penitentiary. He did not serve all OF
this term, however, as he had number OF
credits in his favor in prison, which con-
siderably shortened his term. He married
again a few months ago, and the secolo
wife called at the police station in search
of him after he had been arrested Lemon
claims that he thought his first wife had
secured a divorce during his incarceration
so, relying upon this, he had married
second time. Lemon is an accomplished lin
gust, speaking the English, French, Ger
man, Italian and Spanish languages. He
said that If he had not been marrie4 h

SURPRISING COURSE
No Application Made for Complaint
Against Mrs, Smith

No complaint was issued yesterday against
Mrs. "Dr." c. E. Smith, the woman who is
charged with having performed criminal
operation upon Miss Elizabeth Hutflesz,
from which the girl died. 1t had been
thought that some of the relatives or friends
of the dead girl would apply at the district
attorneys office for the complaint, but
strange to relate, nobody appeared there
yesterday. Why everybody has manifested
no concern in the present case is not clear.
Both the father and lover of the girl ex-
pressed themselves as DESTROYS of prosecut-
ing Mrs. Smith, but they do not appear to
be anxious now to take steps toward do
ing SO.
Major Donnell, while expressing the
opinion that conviction probably could
not be secured, said that he still stands
ready to issue a complaint charging Mrs
Smith with murder, and at least have her
examined by justice of the peace.

Brakeman Smiths Remarkable
Escape-Notes

1t was Thursday evening when the track
walker Of the Southern Pacific toiled pant
ing into his camp at the side track station
of Dermid, between Indio and Yuma-a
speck of shade in the wilderness of sun and
sand. AS he neared the doorway of his
little shed he saw by the glistening rails
mans body. The eyes were scorched and
sghtless from the pitiess heat, and the
tongue protruded in a grotesquely terrible
fashion from the mouth, swollen to four
times the size it should be. black and dead.
There was just enough life left in the tor
tured traveller to tighten his burned, dying
face bit, as Misheimer, the section fore
man, poured few drops of water between
his lips, but it was too late, the killing
thirst and the shriveling heat had done
their work, and with scarcely a groan the
poor wretch was relieved from his agony
and passed away, one more OF the thous-
ands of victims that the Colorado desert
has burned and thirsted to death.
There were papers found on he dead man
which established his identity as having
been Henry H. Cook Of q Adams street,

to save railway fare he had attempted to
cross the desert on foot. but the task had
been beyond him. He had in his pocket his
discharge papers, showing that he had en-
listed in the army a. the time Of the re-
bellion from Centre county, Pa, and later
had been an inmate of the Soldiers Home

which had killed him, alongside the railway,
and his little possessions are now in the
