The OTHER
OUTLAW
Who Aided in the Alamo
gordo HoId-up Now
On the Road.
THE SHERIFF OF SOCORRO
Has Him in Custody and Will Reach
Here With His Prisoner TOmOr-
rOw.-The Cowboy Was Traced to
California by Means of His Trunk.


California by Means of His Trunk,
Sheriff G. F. Blackingtop, of Socorro,
| will reach Ell Pa tomorrow with
Ernest Gentry of New Mexico, wanted
at Alamogordo on the charge of aiding
in the hOldup of the .Alsmogordo
Lumber company's Office last April
and making way with. $4,000 in scrip,
representing many thousands o: acres
of government land.
A short time ago the HERALD told
exclusively of the arrest of the other
robber by Sheriff Blackington. This
outlaw after being imprisoned at So
corro told the whole story of the rob-
berry and Implicated his pal. The
sheriff then started in pursuit of the
other man, who was traced to Ell Paso
and Deming and thence to California,
where at Redding he was arrested.
The outlaw was followed by means of
his trunk, which he shipI ed by express
going himself On horseback across the
country.
A Redding, California dispatch last
night says:
"Sheriff Chae. F. Blackington, of So
corro county, N. M, started back today
with Ernest Gentry, who is wanted at
AlamogordO for stealing Sc, 900 in gov
ernment script.
'"The penalty for robbery in New
Mexico is death by hanging"
The sheriff considers Gentry a des-
perate man and to prevent his escape
Sheriff Blsckington had his prisoner
handcuffed and his feet shackled.
The New Mexico sheriff has killed
other If Gentry makes the slightest at
tempt to get away,
While the correspondent is away off
when he says that New Mexico punish
es her robbers "with death by hang
ing." he probably is correct in his 9th
er statement.
THE ROBBERY.
The robbery of the Alamogordo
Lum Der Office occurred last April just
before the municipal election was held
in Ell Pas0. The news reached this
city one night while Pat Dwyer was
making an eloquent speech q round in
front of the Sheldon building, proclaim
ing himself to be q whOle-souled demo-
crat, but an O'Keeffe man, because the
corrupt methods of the democrats did
not suit him.
The cashier had just finished paying
off the large force of mill hands, who
were still congregated in the Office,
when two cowboys rode up.
One of them stood at the door with
drawn revolvers and yelled to the
and demanded of the cashier all the
money in his possession.
The cashier protested that he ad no
" whereupou the cowboy forced
him to open the safe and took there
from q large amount of government
scrip, to be used by the company to buy
public lands.
Meantime the crowd became fright
stricken and dispersed through win
10wl doors " az
bles and desks
Having satisfied themselves that they
had procured everything in sight
worth taking, the cowboys bade the
office men good evening and, mounting
their horses, rode rapidly away.

How to Arrange Them
Tastefully for the
House.
ROOM DECORATIONS
Roses, Pansies and Lilies
Require Various
Treatment.

How to arrange flowers is one of the
problems that perplexes many house
wife at this season of the year. Hot
house flowers she can manage fairly
well, and, beside, they are never so
plentiful as to be a source of embar-
rassment But the garden flowers that
begin blooming about this time and the
wild flowers that glorify the summer
months-ah, they are harder to man
age. For there are two ideals to be
satisfied in using flowers in the house.
You want to show off the beauties of
the flowers and you want to decorate
your room.
On both accounts geometrical de-
signs and set pieces are to be avoided.
Have your flowers flowing and free, TO
simulate nature as much as possible.
Roses may be treated in different
ways according to their variety. Inc
tall. stiff ones; like the American
Beauty roses, lend themselves well to
tall designs, while tea roses and the
dropping ones are better accommo-
dated in bowls and clusters. Old-fash-
toned silver bowls filed with roses and
placed in room are as artistic a use
as these flowers can be put to.
Two or three roses in vase four or
I'VE inches high are satisfying to the
eyes of the most fastidious, if the vase
is well chosen. 1t should not be forgot
ten that the vase must be highly art
istic, for with one or two flowers II is
a case in which the vase is the deeora-
ton.
Nothing will add such daintiness to

in a tall, slender vase of cut or rides

deal at the beginning, but as 1t lasts
lifetime, if cared for, it is cheaper than
unsatisfactory, ugly, but low priced
vases. In using such a vase, care must
be taken to cut the stem h q proper
length. as the effect is spoiled If it is
SO long as to overbalance the length of
the holder.
It should never be forgotten that the
color of the vases must be kept slbor-
dinate to that of the flowers, brtlli antly
tinted china and glass for that reason
being less desirable than neutral tones.
The liberty vases, inexpensive, yet
graceful in form and quiet in colors
are in good taste. For roses nothing
could be prettier than some Of the dark
green art vases.

The Short Line War, by Merwin Web
ster. For sale by the Macmillan COM
pany. e
One of the most interesting and at
tractive romances published for the
summer trade is The Short Line War, :"
a tasteful little volume just issued by
the Macmillan company 1t is stir
ring story of love and Chicago business
life and is the Joint product of Samu-
ell Merwin and H. K. Webster of Evans
town, Ill. But, following the example
of Erckmann-C hatrain the two COLA
borators prefer to substitute for their
full names the hyphenated signature,
Merwin- Webster.
The underlying thought in the work
is to emphasize the romantic side of
modern business life. The authors pro
test against the too common notion that
romance belongs to the dead past and
deeds of stirring interest center only
about the wars and intrigue of centu-
ries ago. They believe Chicabo con-
tains as much romance as Venice;
that one of its sky-scraping office
buildings is as full of romantic intrigue
as was ever the palace of the Doges
and that the strife of medieval kings
for petty dukedoms and baronies are
not better material for fiction than the
end of the century contests between
railroad kings and the great barons OF
commerce.
In following out their plan, the au-
thors have been eminently. successful.
Not only have they succeeded in in
vesting the commonly considered dry
details of a business deal, with a man
tie of romance, but in their paintings
of one side of Chicago life they have
proved realistic as we'll While it is

ognize in the account composite PFC
ture of the details Of "a dozen Well
known railroad wars. - However, the
authors, profiting by the experience OF
other recent novelists have been care
full to depict no particular road or n
nancier.
Jim Weeks, hero of the work, is a
typical product of the west FROM
small beginnings he has become a
power in the financial world. Trained
in a hundred railroad wars, he has be-
come an almost invincible antagonist IN
financial battles. Nevertheless, a CO.
terie of capitalists try to depose him
from the control and presidency OF the
M & T.. "The Short line, which IS an
important feeder" Of two trunk lines;
Their first move is to gain control OF
a majority of stock by holding out false
promises to rural stockholders. Weeks
next move is to issue more stock SO as
to control the coming election.
AS might be expected in these days
of government by injunction, the OPP
posing side enjoin Weeks from voting
the stock.
But Weeks, too as might be expect
ed, has a judge up his sleeve. The sees
ond Judge enjoins three of the oppos-
ing clique from voting. This makes It
necessary for the road to have re-
ceiyer, and of course Weeks is foremost
and appoints his secretary, Harvey
West, to the position. Then come dark
attempts to steal the roads books in
the dead Of night Weeks manages to
steal his own books and conveniently
loses them where the opposition will
not find them. That ends the first act
of the struggle for possession.
The second act deals with the for
chile attempts of both sides to gain
control. Weeks rivals start a train
full of thugs up from the south end of
the road, who take possession of each
station, they come to, till Weeks finds
1t out, starts a train full of his em-
ployees from the north and partially
undoes the work of his foes. Finally
the trains meet, the rival crews armed
with coupling pins rush to the attack.
There is every appearance of good
time when the authors rather disap-
pointingly to the reader with sporting
blood, drag in the state militia, who
put both sides to route and take pos
session of the line. They hold it till
Weeks, by a final master stroke, dumb
POUNDS his opponents by controlling the
stock and elects himself president. The
chapters dealing with the legal chess
play are far more spirited and inter-
esting than those which have to do
with the actual fighting possibly be-
cause the matter Of which they treat is
more novel.
Mingled with stirring events of the
Short Line War is thesusual love story
This is for the benefit Of the sum-
mer girl who might otherwise be sur
feited with too much business. Harvey
West falls in love with Katherine Por-
ter. daughter Of Weeks principal ad-
versary, and the artless way in which
West uncOnsciously betrays his en-
ployer's secrets and the manner in
which Katherine, apparently for the
sake of reciprocity. all unbeknown to
herself assists her fathers rivals. is
very cleverly done. It is needless to
say that West wins his suit in the end
with the same ease with which his en-
ployer ends his difficulties.
