Cripple Creek, Colo, April 17-Dan
Lucey, alias Sullivan, who is wanted in
Butte for the alleged murder of Patrick
l.. Reagan during September last in
Silver Bow county, was apprehended
in Victor last Friday night and was
brought to this city and Jailed. Lucey
entered the Office saloon in Victor on
the evening mentioned and was at once
recognized by the bartender. Jack Sui
Ivan. Sullivan informed Police Officer
Meaney. who was in the saloon at the
time, and after some little trouble, he
succeeded in OverpoWering Lucey and
placing him under arrest.
This afternoon Under Sheriff Murphy
of Silver Bow county arrived here and
identified Lucey as the man wanted.
He left tonight for Butte with his pris-
oner. When Murphy first went to the
Jail Lucey pretended not to know him,
but later acknowledged he knew the
sheriff and agreed to return to Mon
tana without requisition papers. Lucey
refused to be interviewed and was in
clined to be a trifle surly. He was TAX
en- to the train tonight heavily ironed.
He takes his arrest very philosophical
ly, and was by far the coolest of the
party at the jail, and even assisted the
sheriff to adjust the irons on his arms.

CARSON IS BOUND OVER
He Is Charged With Robbing W.
T. McGonigal.
IN THE FORMERS SALOON
The Defendant Alleged That the Work
Was Done by Nancy Hanks Against
Whom He Had Warned the
Victim,

The preliminary examination of e.
P. Carson, charged with robbing W.
T. McGonigal in the formers saloon
on the night Of the 9th instant, was
held in Justice Nichols court yesterday
and it was o'clock last night when the
testimony and arguments were COM
pleted. Attorney John w. Cotter de-
Tended Carson and the state was rep
resented by Chief Deputy County At
torney Kelly and Deputy Attorney AL
ley. Judge Nichols bound the defendant
over to the district court in the sum
of $1,000, the amount of bail under
which he has retained his liberty since
gal was to the effect that he had just
written a letter to his daughter and
started up town to buy some postage
stamps. When he reached Carson
saloon at the corner of Mercury and
Wyoming streets he stepped in to say
hello to his friend, Carson, and Incl
dentally to take a cigar CT some
thing.
Il drink nothing but soft drinks"
said he. Il went into wine room and
there was Nancy Hanks. We had a
SouPlC VI SUI dl lllhS anu L oioli hhS"
anything till the next day."
Carson testified that McGonigal went
into his saloon at the time stated and
spent his money freely for drinks and
treated the house several times. "Old
Nancy Hanks slipped into one Of the
wine rooms and McGonigal also went
in and l warned Mac not to associate
with Nancy, as her CRATE was plainly
to rob men. I ordered her to leave and
she went. 1 was busy in the saloon,
and when l went to the box I found
the door locked ON the inside. l de-
manded admittance and the door was
opened. Just as l stepped in Nancy
stepped out. Mac said to me: We'll,
I've been robbed I sent after an
officer, and in the meantime I returned
to the box and told Mac that he had
better turn over his watch and what
change he had left to me for safe keep
ing. He did give me his watch and
about $40 in money"
The evidence of Detective Murphy
and Sergeant McGrath, who made the
arrest, was to the effect that they saw
Carson take the money and watch from
McGonigal
McGonigal said that before he started
up town he had $780, Nancy Hanks
was not arrested, as the officers be-
lieved that she entered into the play
as the innocent tool of Carson.

SLANGuAGE AS TWILL BE TAUGHT
Astonishing Possibilities Grow NJ Out of
Professor Halls Suggestion.


From the Chicago Chronicle.
If the school children of Chicago
could decide by vote the course of study
to be pursued in the pubic schools there
is little question that they would Adolf
by an overwhelming majority Tie idels
Of DR.. G. Stanley Hall. That gentle
man has been delivering addresses to-
fore the Chicago kindergarten college
at Handel hall during tha last Week.
and he took occasion to talk like tbs
one day:
with regard to English taught in tie
schools, if I had my way there should not
be an English lesson given as such in a
school. 1t is faulty method that gives
the child a speech consciousness which
makes him seem unnatural IN address.
l recommend slang, for it expresses
| ideas in very simple ways, and children
could speak slang and be eloquent,
whereas if they are taught perfect Eng
lish their expression becomes faulty.
There is a book called Lost Beauties in
English 1t is a book of slang. Take
that and teach it instead of the perfect
English lessons of our schools. 1t is
dangerous power to cultivate the
power of talking without saying any
thing, and that is what the English les
son does"
1t is evident at a glance that a liberal
application of DR.. Halls theory to the
study Of English would result in a revo-
luton of method which would be at
least startling. In school conducted
under the Hall system the primer class
would have to be at once revised. For
instance, take that well-known lesson
which runs like this:
See the man.
He is an old man.
will the boys SNOWFALL him? ?"
mo, for they know he is kind and
good"
Under the plan of education devised
by DR.. Hall this simple bit of word
painting would have to be substi-
tuted:
Pipe his nobs."
He's an old skate, amt he?"
will the kids take wallop at
him."
well. just watch their smoke
When the 6-year-olds have mastered
this lesson they might proceed to the
next page, where, in the old-fashioned
books, will be found this out-of-date
mode of expressions:
Come, John, let us walk in the gar
den. We will pluck the sweet flowers
and listen to the little birds Are they
not pretty? We must not harm the
birds, for that would be cruel"
This sort of thing will not do at all
in DR. Halls classes, however. The
children are apt to learn to talk with
out saying anything" Therefore they
will find this in their new books:
Say, Jack, let's take a drill for the
fresh air. We can grab off a few of
them flowers and hear the birds cuttin'
loose. Say, amt them birds beauts?
We dassant take shot at EN-, because
we're likely to get pinched by the HUI
name society"
OF course, the new method will large
ly do away with woman teachers. be-
cause they cannot readily master the
subtleties of slang and their places as
pedasogues would be filled by bunch
of gentlemen known in certain circles
as "burlies," men who, according to Dr.
