Safe Blowing at ROxbury.

The large safe in the store Of d. l.. Mich
oils, at Roxbury, was blown open by bur.
glars at two o'clock Tuesdsymorning, just as
the south bound night train was pulling
into Roxbury station. The burglars ef-
fected an entrance to the store by a rear
window, drilled the safe and evidently
timed the explosion just as the heavy ex-
press train was passing the store. The
noise OF the explosion awakened Mr.. Mich
OILS. He grabbed his revolver and was at
the scene inside OF minute. Looking
through window he could see the bur
glars at work on the inside of the safe. He
fred, hitting one of the burglars, but they
both fled in the darkness without being
recognized. They got no money, but the
safe is practically ruined. Mr.. Nichols has
well-grounded suspicion as to who his mid
night visitors were and arrests will prob
ably follow.
One window was badly shattered by the
money drawer and postoffice money drawer
were opened, but nothing was taken so far
as can be learned. The burglars left the
store by the front door, firing two shots al
the house as they went. A number of the
near neighbors heard the explosion. The
general opinion is that the rogues boarded
the night train north A man was arrested
this morning in st. Albans having come il
on the night train and supposed to be ont
OF the rogues. He was brought back on the
morning train.
States Attorney Hoar went to Roxbury
on the mail train Tuesday morning to investi
gate the affair. The man brought back
from St. Albans is named Hill, but it is no
thought he was connected with the burg
larry.

Practical Joking.

Between nine and ten o'clock Sunday
evening, the residents of St. Paul street
and vicinity were startled by cries OF "mur-
der" burglars" "police," etc., emanating
from the rear OF the residence of 7. j.
Kelleher. In less time than it takes to tell
it. the premises were black with people.
An investigation discovered Attorney Geo.
r. Holden, hatless, shoeless, and minus
other garments but plus great deal of ex-
element. brsced against the door OF Mr..
Kelleher's carriage house. He explained
that he had found man prowling around
his apartments, with criminal intent, that
he had pounced down upon the villain who
had escaped from the house, that he had
pursued and finally cornered him in this
building. He had sent for the police but
they had not arrived.
While George was emitting these ex-
plantations, the man inside made q feint to
escape from window in the rear Of the
building. George left his position at the
door and flew to the window where he
braved attack from his prisoner, who made
a vicious iab at him with piece OF board.
Finally, the man inside, noticing that the
door was ajar, rushed out and escaped
through the crowd without being appre
hended.
| II appears that the prisoner was none less
| than member OF the "Lexow committee,
T. j. Kelleher. with whom, apparently, in
vestigation had become fad and who il
s6emb sJhrJeu III 10 tosJ inc oxboHI OF
Georges stock OF sand. He now frankly
admits that he found it unlimited and that
Georges sprinting qualities are unmatched
All day to-day George was still in the
dark as to his prisoners identity, and has
expressed the belief that he had accom-
plices in the crowd. He also declares that
should he learn who the man was, he shall
prosecute him for a breach of the peace
Mr. Kelleher's friends are giving him the
laugh all round that he should try to put nj
joke on George with the result of Georg,
shutting him up on his own premis es.

LAWYERS AT SWORDS POINTS
Counsel In Fountain Case Exchange
Personal OpiniOns-CaptainC Cur
rie the Stand.

HILLSBORO, NM, June 7-Colloquies be-
tween the attorneys as the result of remarks
made by Attorney Catron, and taken as per-
scnal by the defense, together with numer-
Gus objections by Mr.. Catron made the
opening of the defense in the Fountain mur-
der trial decidedly animated. The court in
timated that contempt proceedings would be
instituted If there was any repetition of
the proceedings of personal character.
George Curry, former speaker of the house,
and captain of the First United States Vol
rnteer infantry, was called first, but an
objection to the most important part of his
evidence was sustained. He testified that
while acting as agent of Governor Otero in
the Fountain investigation a confession was
obtained from "Slick" Miller that he and
two others, not the defendants, had planned
the Fountain and three other murders. This
evidence was objected to and the court
sustained the objection. Captain Curry testi-
fed concerning a conversation with Jack
Maxwell, who said he was with Lee, Gilliland
and MuNew at Lees ranch the night Colonel
Fountain was murdered.
Cross examination brought out the fact of
Currys Indebtedness to Lee, but this had
not been mentioned by Lee.
Bud Smith, who was Maxwell's former
employer, testified that Maxwell had made
the same statements to him that had been
made to Captain Curry.
Joe Morgan, a weafthy planter, testified
that he had seen the defendants at Lee s
Dog Canon ranch the day of the murder.
Several attempts to impeach the witness
were unsuccessful, but it was brought out
that he was very friendly and had business
relations with the defendants.
Maxwell was witness for the prosecu-
uon. He was brought here under an at
tachment and is still in custody and will be
held until the close of the trial
The defense this afternoon introduced
testimony to the effect that the defendants
up to sundown on the day of the murders
were sixty miles from the scene. 1t was
testified by the witnesses, who were not
shaken by cross examination, that the
tracks said to have been measured at Colo
mel Fountains last camps were made by
searchers who arrived before Llewellyn and
others who claim to have made measure
ments.
Tom Tucker, Lees foreman, WHO sum
moned Governor Thornton and assisted in
the investigation of the Fountain murder,
showed Lees horse and says he could rec
ognize the trail. He will be asked to do
this later.
Attorney Catron examined the witness as

Ho admitted having killed several men, but
claimed 1t was done in self-defense against
great odds oT while he was an officer. In

ers, faced and routed a gang of eighteen
men, killing John Goode.
