PATRICK DWYER.
The Young Politician is Now a Full
Pledged Policeman.

The mayor has appointed his neph-
ew, Pat Dryer, to succeed Co the posi-
i ton made vacant by the death of Off
Ger Bob Ross. Pats beat will be on
Ell Paso street and he will be on the
day force.
Pat has been in the secret service of
the city for some time. He was en-
ployed to watch bunco men and their
ilk to prevent them from robbipg uu-
suspecting strangers. He didn't have
much work to do, it is true, but his
name WAS on the pay roll just the
same.
Dior some reason his appointment
was kept secret for weeks and when
finally discovered the mayor and chief
of police didn't like it when reporters
asked them concerning the appoint
ment.
It is conceded by all that Magoffin's
reelection was almost wholly due to
Dryers remarkable campaign work.
The overwhelming majority piled up
by Pats peculiar methods also resulted
in landing several doubtful aldermen
in Office. Therefore 1t is admitted that
Mr.. Dwyer is entitled to anything he
wants from the administration and it is
surprising that he is satisfied with the
position to which he has just been ap-
pointed. 1t is known that Pat is
ambitious and there seems little doubt
that he will get better office before
his upcle'S term expires.

OVERLOOKED THEIR HAND
Thieves Entered a Coal Office And
Forgot to Open the Safe Which
Contained Money.

Thieves broke into the office of the
Payne Badger coal company night be-
fore last and turned up everything in
the office looking for booty.
Entrance was effected through the
front window, one of the large panes OF
glass OF which was smashed, leaving a
space large enough for the passage OF
a mans body. Once inside the robbers
pried open the desk drawers and other
private places and rummaged around
looking for money.
The safe, which was standing close
at hand, was not molested although it
is understand that it contained about
$500 in cash and several hundred in ne
gOtiab BILE papers.
There is no clue to the miscreauts,
but the proprietors of the coal yard
are confident that the robbery was the
work of Americans for a back room,
well stocked with valuable tools, was
not molested and they are confident
that Mexican would have carried off
some of the tools. AS it was. the
thieves got nothing for their pains.

GERONIMO PARA.

Geronimo Para Ia a MEXICAN o
| above the average intelligence. HI
is tall and slender in build and has {
| reputation as a killer. He has always
been ready to use his weapons wher
pushed into corner and has a long
criminal record. It is believed tha
he has been connected with many o.
| the noted crimes in this section and
officers say that the country is bette,
off to be rid of him.
Para was serving q six years sen
lance in the Santa Fee jail for theft and
attempting to kill Las Cruces offic-
err, when Captain Hughes learned Of
his whereabouts.
TWO; MCRDERERS.
Geronimo Para spent last night in
the condemned cell at the county jail
with Antonio Flores, also under SEN
tence to hang. He awoke this morn
ing in a cheerful and hopeful frame OF
mind and does not appear to be the
least downcast by the shadow of the
gaIlows which has fallen across his
pathway. He ate a hearty breakfast
and talked huently to the jsilor this
morning.
Para is recognized as game man
and the chances are that he will die
game.
Antonio Flores, who was found gull
ty of murder several months ago. has
often since mace an effort to appear in
sane. He complained that he had
looked out of the windows of his soli-
tary cell and seen his two sons MUIR
dered by the court and could not be
quieted until the boys were admitted
into the cell with him.
Another time he made a vicious as
seult with an iron bar on a trusty who
had come to bring him food. The
trusty was struck at four times and
one blow landed heavily on his should
err. Tailor Jenkins rushed up stairs to
the rescue and Flores quickly quieted
down. The prisoner was fully dressed
as If for a journey, and the opinion is
that Flores intended to murder the
trusty after he had unlocked the cell
door and escape.
The Flores case has been appealed
and it may take year before it Is fin
ally decided. Para also may gain q
long respite in the same manner, as the
higher court usually takes it's time in
reviewing the decision of the lower
courts.

GERONIMO PARA'S CRIME

GERONIMO PARA
The crime for which Geronimo Pa.
"a will in all probability pay the
penalty with his life was committed on
A pril II, 1890.
The HERALD OF that date contains
an article headed Look Out For q
Killing and gives an account OF
Barnes, Fusselman and George Harold
leaving the city to hunt down the
horse thieves.
The next dey the same paper has a
two column article descriptive of the
killing of Fusselman. 1t says:
The HERALD had scarcely appeared
on the streets yesterday evening whe n
George Harold dashed into town, his
horse steaming with sweat, and
startled and shocked the city with the
announcement that the pursuers had
overtaken the horse thieves in the
canon where they had taken refuge,
bad been ambushed and that the gal
liant young Fusselman had been killed
at the first fire.
Harold;s story was that the three
pursuers were going up the canon,
Fusselman in the lead, and they saw q
bunch OF about 80 horses grazing on a
bench above. Seeing no men and
thinking the thieves had fed, they
started up to the animals, when sud
denly seven rifles belched forth from
the brush and rocks but few feet
ahead, and Fusselman reeled from his
saddle and fell, his horse with Dick
Blacker's rifle on the saddle dashing
forward toward the stolen horses.
Harold turned down the canon to
escape, keeping up running hre
with his pursuers for 300 yards when
they were checked by Barnes. who had
taken q sheltered position on one side
of the canon Harold hurried to the city
for reinfOrcements.
THE MURDERED MAN.
Charles H Fusselman was born in
Williamson county, Texas, and was
but q years old when killed. He was
United States deputy marshal, deputy
sheriff of Preside county, and ser
geaut in command of the Preside
county detachment of Captain Jones's
rangers. He was a young man of good
education, gentleman by instinct,
quiet, unobtrusive. but self reliant, and
cool in the face of danger and was pos
sessed OF high order of courage I'm

All ministers are net bo0kwOrms solely. Ire majority of them are me chanics. Rev. L. o. Ferguson, pastor of the Christian church, is included in the last number He WIS reared as a mechanic, and his earlier education resulted in his inyenting a device which now, is making others rich. It is patent fruit cleaner known as the Baker brush cleaner, and is employed quite extensively in California now for brushing oranges, lemons and, in fact. every kind of firm fruit. James Baker of Los Angeles assisted Rev. MT. Ferguson in his invention and patent was secured for it more than a year ago. There were two other men interested in the financial end of tho project. It took more than a year to perfect the plans,, as well as consider able money, and a short time before tie patent was secured Rev. MT. Fer gusOn ralinquished his right, not car ing to invest more money. The device is made of two long cylinder rollers placed close together, which revolve in opposite directions. The surface of the rollers is made of soft hair. The rollers are inclined and the fruit put between them at the top is carried down to the bottom, where it arrives well brushed and cleaned. The device is not manipulated by hand, but keeps two or three men busy putting in fruit and boxing it at the bottom. This in vention is particularly valuable at large packing houses. During about four or five months in the year these packing houses have beon in the habit

HE WASN'T HUNGRY
But There Was Something in His Stomach Requiring SuStenanCe.

The Ford Hotel bar was visited yes terday by a well dressed man. whose first remark was concerning a long spell of indiges.ticn which had troubled him some time, He Iamented the fact that he couldn't muster an appetite, and in conclusion ordered a glass Of beer. He sampled the cheese and his countenance indicated that he would rather take medicine. But there was not much Of the tWO-p3und piece of cheese left when he finished, nor was there much remaining of a can of sar- dimes which had just been opened. Even the bottle of pickles suffered eX- tensiVely from the ravi3geS Of this man who found difficulty in mastering a1 appetite. The bartender looked amazed and uneasy as he saw the ar ticles of his free lunch disappearing che by one The man had a hungry look On his face which almost per suaded the bartender to think that he had the features Of wolf. The bar tender had sold him the glass Of beer and he prided himself that he never had restricted a patron at the free lunch stand, and he was not inclined to establish a precedent. He patient ly witnessed the famished man gather in a bean and tuck it away, and fol- lowing closely on this was a chunk of bologna sausage The bartender sighed as the patron uncovered new tray and proceeded to relieve it Of few dozen sandwiches. Undoubtedly the bartender was thinking that pa tience sometimes ceases to be a virtue, when he blurted out, Say, mister, I'll loan you 25 cents if you want to in vest it in a Chinese restaurant.
 ''No thanks" said the man, but he was too busy to explain why he re- fused the offer. The bartender cOaXed him, saying there was no end Of good things at a certain restaurant ard he argued that the Chinamen had been in the business a greater time than he and understood best now to please a patron.
 Didn't tell yCu," replied the man, that I have no appetite. If I wanted meal I would go and buy one fer myself
 In the name of Heaven!' howled the bartender, who was new in a fury, have you room in your stomach for anything else!'
 ''Yes, for there is something else there now,' was the logical reply.
 What is it, the bangs of hunger?'
 tNo, a tape worm."

parts when a prominent cattleman of Cedar Bluffs, Kan, Mir. Barr, was murdered and robbed Of 1,600, and his body was found in a wel4 on the star route between Oberlin and Achilles. Kan, on Sappa creek. The murder still remains a mystery. Shortly after this ths postoffice at Ludell was robbed of $40 and George Hudiburgn's store was robbed of $500. The next night George w. Dull's store was broken open and robbed of over $400 in cloth ing Gunny sacks were emptied of their contents and the booty carried off in these. Next night Ed Messenger was held up one-half mile north of Ludeli, Kan. and $7O taken from him. A buggy and team was stolen from Jack Smiths livery stable at Ludeil and the nsxt morning the team with out buggy and harness returned.
 The same night Sherman Conner, who lives seven miles west of Atwood, was awakened by smell of drugs and found his wife in an unconscious con dition, but no sign Of the robbers.
 Deputy Sheriffs Short and Pierson went out to the Shelly farm, but the SheIlys covered the officers with Win cheste-s and they, having only revol- vers, were unable to take them.
 Since these events happened the whereabouts of the gang is mystery. The Shellys gained a reputation for themselves in Oklahoma and were feared as much as the Younger broth CTS
 It isN dangerous for one to venture in the wild country north and west of Atwood and truly it can be said a reign of terror and crime exists. The country is broken, cut with canyons and draws. Although large reward is offered beth by the federal govern armed with modern Winchescers and ment and state. no one has ventured lately to face the outlaws, who are Colt revolYers up-to-da1e.

CAPTAIN PULLMAN.
Son of 'fPitchfork" Tillman Wants an
 Army Commission.

Washington, Sept. 17.-James H. Tillman, son of ex-Representative Till man of South Carolina, and who served las colonel of the Second South Carolina volunteers in the Spanish war, has been promised by the presl- dent a captaincy in one of the new vol unteer regiments. Col. Tillman came to Washington hoping to raise an in- dependent company of scouts. The president did net approve of foeming any independent commands at this time, but said there was rcr objection to enlisting a certain proportion Of In dians in a company which he autno- rized Captain Tillman to organize.
 A. A. Girard, formerly Of the Rough Riders. has besn named as first lieu tenant of Captain Tillman's company.
 One platoon Of the company will be composed Of educated Indians, leading men of the Neg Perees, Chippewa and other tribes. Chief Joseph and Chief Pug-a-Ma-Gi-Sling Of these tribes are much interested in the work and have been in Washington with Captain Tillman. The two remaining platoons will be composed of South Carolinans Recruiting stations will be opened in South Carolina and St. Paul, Minn. Already enough men to fill a regiment have applied, so the question of per sonnel is only one of selection.
 Captain TilIman was the youngest colonel in the Spanish war and is vice commander. of the Spanish War Vete- ran's association. Lieutenant Girard is chief of ordnance and a member of the council of administration of the same organization
