PLEADED NOT GUILTY.
New York Man Suspected of Stealing
Diamond Jewelry.

Michael Russell ffty-two years of age,
was arrested last night by Detectives Par
ham and Gallaher and locked up at No.
station on suspicion of being guilty of
a robbery committed at the store of S.
Desio, at 1912 F Street northwest, yester-
day. Russell denies his guilt and states
that he is saloon keeper in New York
city. He explains his presence in the city
by saying that he came here to play the
races, which begin next Monday.
The story of the robbery, as told by
Mr.. Desio. is that two men entered his
store at $50 yesterday evening and that
one of them purchased a set of small dia-
mond earrings and small diamond pin,
for which he paid IS. Mr.. Desio Identifies
Russell as the purchaser About twenty
minutes after the men departed Mr.. Desio
missed from a tray which he had exhibited
pair of diamond earrings valued at $50
and diamond horseshoe-pin valued at $40.
He Immediately telephoned the fact to In
spector Boardman, who detailed Detec-
tives Parham and Gallaher on the case.
The detectives closely questioned Mr..
Desio in the hopes of establishing the
identity of the men. They got good
description of the pair, and were surprised
on leaving the store to find Russell walk
ing along Street. They Immediately
placed him under arrest and took him to
headquarters. Russell stated when arrest
ed that he was innocent of the theft, and
when taken into custody was on his way
to the jewelry store in search of an UNI
brella which he had left there while max
ing purchases. A search for the umbrella
failed to disclose 1t.
Late last night Major Sylvester received
telegram from Captain McClusky. Chief
of Police. in New York in which he stat
| ed that Russell was the proprietor of
saloon in that city and man of good
standing. The telegram was in answer to
an enquiry made by Major Sylvester con-
cerning the man. 1t is not improbable
| that. after all, Mr.. Russell has been VIC
| tim of circumstances and Is entirely inno-
cent.
! In the Police Court today Russell plead
ed not guilty to the charge of larceny and
| though his attorney, Campbell Darlington,
waived an examination. he was held in
$30e bonds for the grand jury.

CONVICTED UNDER AN ALIAS.
Secret Order Swind1er Said to BE
Prominently Related Here.

Among the criminals recently tried and
convicted in Hagerstown, Md, was a secret
order swindler, who called himself F. E.
Bridges. Bridges was taken with a batch
OF offenders to the penitentiary by Sheriff
d. NJ. Tice yesterday.
The authorities at Hagerstown are we'll
aware that Bridges is fictitious name, but
during his trial the identity of the prison
er has been kept secret. II is said in
Hagerstown that the police and court au-
thorities have kept the name of the prison
er from the public because of desire TO
shield his family, which is said to be very
prominent in this city.
Bridges said before being taken away
that he would never reveal the name of his
confederates in the swindling operations
for which he was convicted. He said that
the Massachusetts Grand Lodge of Knights
of Pythias had pursued him for four years
and through eleven States, but that he had
managed to elude arrest. He also said that
he had broken out of Jail once in Massa-
chusetts. Bridges, it is said, stated before
going to the penitentiary that he had de-
termined to lead better life.

Honor waits at labors gate" is a
maxim that can well be pointed out az
an incentive to hard work. II Is espc-
cially applicable to the members of
the legal profession. for in no other
sphere is q greater reward offered than
to the lawyer who, by unceasing study
and continuous application, earns for
himself a standing among the legal
fraternity. The vast funds of knowl-
edge and experience necessary to COM
mand success has impaired to the pro-
fession an Importance that is flattering
to its members. Many able men grace
the ranks of the Sumner county bar,
and among the younger members We
are pleased to mention in this review
Mr.. P. c. Simons, Of the firm Of Bur-
nette & SimOns, of Caldwell. The sub
ject Of our sketch is a native Of Iowa.
where he was raised and educated in
the public schools. Adopting law as a
profession ne came to Caldwell and be-
gan its study under Judge ]. A. Bur-
nette. In 1889 he was admitted to the
bar. After that he entered the law de-
rartment Of the State University at
Lawrence, from which he was granted
a diploma in 1890. The same year ne
tegan the practice Of his profession al
Caldwell, remaining there until 1896,
when he went to Iowa. There ne fol-
lowed Lis profession for a year and
half, acquiring a lucrative practice
which he gave up to return to Caldwell
and enter into partnership with Mt. $.
c. Burnette.
As a LAWYER he is noted for careful
work, protection Of his clients inter-
ests and a knowledge of authorities
that has acquired him a fiatterlng rep
utation. He is an excellent trial law
yer and fine speaker, and is employ
ed in many important cases. Mr.. ST.

lican and worker for the party's ad-
vancement. With the exception of be-

Establishment Of the above lady. This
emporium is certainly the finest in
Caldwell, and is far ahead Of similar
establishments in towns twice its size.
The stock comprises a bewildering va
riety Of hats and bonnets for the COM
ing season, both trimmed and I'M
trimmed. all Of which are marvels Of
taste and beauty. This store was start
ed three years ago, and such has been
the satisfaction afforded patrons that
its trade now demands the services OF
two assistants. Mrs. Jas. S. Butcher.
the proprietress, is we'll and favorably
known to all the old settlers of Cald-
well. She learned her business in Wich-
ita and her experience, coupled with
her natural aptitude, makes her an
adept at millinery. She is an affable
lady, and her accommodating methods
of business, together with her artistic
creations, have won success beyond her
expectations. The ladies Of Caldwell
and vicinity are cordially invited to
make an inspection of her spring and
summer stock.

Cooksey. Manager.

The lumber trade is usually one Of
paramount Importance III most commu-
mites. and especially so in Caldwell,
owing to its geographical position, max
ing it the distributing point for a large
back country, aside from the purely To-
cal trade. This class Of business is
well represented by the Long-Bell Lum.
Der company, who started in Caldwell
in 1888. 1t is one Of the most extern
sive concerns in the trade, having their
own mills in Texas and Arkansas ana
Indian Territory, while they conduct
thirty-seven branches. Consumers In
purchasing from them have the assur.
rance that they obtain their lumber al
lowest prices by reason of the fact that
they are manufacturers. Their office
and ward, which is located on Main
street, covers six lots, and is fitted I'D
in the most modern manner for preserv-
ing the lumber in good condition. They
carry a full stock Of dressed and un-
dressed lumber, SASH doors, flooring
