a MEXICAN CONFESSED.
The Robber of ECkmdn's Fruit Store
Admits His Guilt and the Amerl-
cans Who We're Held on the
Charge of Robbery Have Been
Re1eased-Did Not Go In After
Money.

On the night of July Sd the fruit
store of J. w. Eckman on San Antonio
street was robbed of S18 in money, q
number of Deming water checks, a
Knights Templar charm, and some
fruit.
Yesterday it was discovered that two
Americans had sold the charm at a
pawn shop in this city and they were
soon located and placed under arrest.
They said they had been given the
charm by Mexican and the police
were instructed to look out for him.
Last night Officer Denniston captur-
ed the Mexican that was wanted and he
confessed everything. He said that he
had spent the money obtained in the
robbery and acknowledged having
given the Knights Templar pin to the
two Americans, with whom he said he
was acquainted.
The Mexican said that he did not
enter the store with the intention of
stealing anything but cigarettes and
tobacco but that the sight of the money
was too much for him and he took that
also. He said that he took off his
shoes back of Campbell & Grayson's
drug store and later forced in q window
in the rear of the fruit store and gained
an entrance.
After he had secured all he wanted,

To Whom 1t May Concern.

Since few cases of smallpox have
again made their appearance in this
vicinity, public gatherings, such as
bullfghts, are extremely dangerous to
public Lealth.
Vaccination is personal self pro-
lection, but the germ of this loathsome
disease, smallpox, may be carried In
clothing to the unprotected. I there
fore request all Americans to abstain
from visiting the bullfights, as on such
days it will be my unpleasant duty to
disinfect all persons who visit Jharez
between the hours of o'clock and 10
p. M, except such "a conclusively
prove on their return that they were
not at the bullfight.

bling Him ALI Day.
Major T. T. Teel, q lawyer of distinc-
ton, Q soldier noted in two wars, and
probably one of the best known men In
this locality, If not in Texas, WAS found
dead in his bed at 8 o'clock last night
at the American hotel on East Over
laud street near the fire department
headquarters.
1t il believed that he died of heart
failure, aggravated by the intense heat,
but there are many persons who sd-
vance the theory that his death result
ed from suicide.
Yesterday Major Teel complained
of being unweil and told several par
ties that his heart was violently affect
ed and was troubling him intensely.
He was in Judge Townsend's office
just about noon and lay down on
sofa. He was pursuaded to 60 home
and today Townsend says that he thinks
had Teel remained an hour longer he
would have died there, as he was un-
doubleday badly troubled by his heart.
WHEN LAST SEEN.
After leaving Townsend's Office the
deceased went directly to his room and
retired. He undressed and went to
bed. He was last seen at o'clock in
the afternoon by two other dodgers.
who caught sight of him as he came
and took q drink of water from the
cooler. Then he returned to his room
and was not seen again until found at
8 p, m. lying across his bed, as If he
had fallen there while sitting on the
edge of the couch endeavoring to put
on his clothes.
The first Indication of anything un-
usual going on in Major Techs room
was noted by Mrs. J. II. Peake, pro-
prietress of the hotel. At O'Clock in
the afternoon, as she was passing
along the hall she heard something
fall and break inside the room, as If q
pitcher had been dropped to the floor
and smashed. This afterwards turned
out to be the case.

however, and at o'clock Mrs.
Peake went out. She says she is con-
fident that Major Tel was not dead at
that time for she heard him breathing,

nothing of it.
At six o'clock when she returned
she smelt a peculiar odOr which SEEM

the dead man.
The odor became 80 pronounced after
dark that an investigation was decided
upon and when the door WAS opened by
W. b. Stehling, Major Teel was found
to be dead.
He was lying across the bed with
portions of his clothing in suoh posi-
tion beside him as to indicate that he
! was endeavoring to dress himself when
the summons came. -''
AUTHORITIES NOTIFIED.
Ohief Lockart was Immediately noti-
fed of the lawyers sudden death and
he sent for Justice Spencer. The
news spread quickly and it soon be-
came noised about that Major Teel had
committed suicide.
This report however is discredited
by those who knew the dead man best
and the circumstances strengthen the
theory that death was due to natural
causes. tft} WIZ
The body was removed to Ross' I'M
dertakiug establishment and was this
morning being prepared fol
burial. The opinion OF the embal
mer il that death was due to apoplexy
for the face of the corpse WAS bIacken-
ed by the blood collecting there.
The suicidal theory was trengther-
ed somewhat by the fact that deceased
was divorced from his wife and since
that time has appeared to be weighted
down with his troubles, as we'll as bow
ed down with his weight of years-for
he was more than 80 years old. His
wife procured divorce during the last
term of court and Major Teel COM
planned bitterly prior to that time
about his domestic troubles. His wife
was many years his junior.
Since the divorce was granted Major
Teel has been stopping at lodging
houses, with his year old son, Jimmy
He had several other young children,
but they all remained with their moth
err. Jimmy was absent from the hotel
when his fath er died.
An investigation of the bedroom re-
vealed that there was no evidence OF q
struggle and nothing to indicate that
poison had been administered. De-
ceased had been stopping at the Ameri-
can about ten days.
Two grown sons by a former wife
survive the deceased in this city. They
are in the employ of Krakauer, Fork &

Not so Warm as He Thought He Was.

Last Thursday young man from
Hagerstown by the name Of Barber
was driving team belonging to Ed
ward Cushwa, liveryman, of that
place, through the streets Of Shep-
herdstown, when he came in collision
with G. T. Hodges coal wagon, driven
by William Crowl, breaking the wag-
on to some extent. His team was go
ing very rapidly, either because the
horses were beyond his control or be-
cause he was regardless Of the ordl-
nance against fast driving. When
the accident occurred both vehicles
were stopped, and just then Mr..
Hodges came along and mildly IN
quired about the matter. Barber
thereupon began to swear most iero-
ciously, and abused Mr.. Hodges to an
extent not warranted by the law or
the facts. He was warned to be
quiet and move on, but he evidently
thought himself pretty warm, and
when Special Officer John F. Maddox
intimsted that he would be arrested
he announced his opinion that there
was no man in Shepherdstown able to
accomplish that feat. As he contin-
ued his profanity and disorderly con-
duct Mr.. Maddox placed him under
arrest. Barber resisted, and tried to
escape by lashing his horses into
run. He vigorously resisted the Of
fcsr, but he was ANONYMOUSLY yanked
out of his wagon and hailed before
Mayor Harrison. He cooled down
considerably when lie saw evidence
that West Virginia justice was to be
administered promptly. When the
mayor had heard the evidence in the
case he fined Barber the sum of $1,000,
including costs. Mr.. Cushwa, the
owner of the team, fortunately came
along during the trial, and he put up
the money. Barber was released and
soon shook the dust of this place from
his feet. 1t is to be hoped he has
learned lesson in manners that will
do him good.

went up the street on a run. Mr..
Lambert aroused the neighbors and
made an investigation, but the rob-
Der had made good his escape. The
