Paul Waldron had won the girl he
loved; for few weeks he was per-
lectly happy, and then clouds, light as

the great world longing to be in the
midst of It, and he could not under
stand her.

He was too earnest even to under
stand her lighter nature; her wonder

Last night the east side police
arrested genteel looking gentle
man who was hugging the benches
about the union depot, and made
himself acquainted with all the
passengers getting on and off the
trains, who could be approached by
so nice and genteel looking mau as
he was.
He has been about here three or
four weeks, and was arrested once
before for selling a cheap article
of perfumery to the people Lying in
the residence portion of the city,
but the mayor turned him loose,
and since that time the police have
kept an eye on him, but he has
made no break. They figured him
out to be a CRATER" and last
night when he acted as he did they
arrested him on the vag charge and
locked him up in the city prison.
When the case was called this
morning he told the recorder that
he was a lawyer and being here
without means, asked him to put off
his trial until he could get no ley
from home and when ic came, he
would plead guilty As an accomoda-
tion to the officers for the exten-
sion of time asked. MAJ shall Casey
asked how long it would be before
he could hear from home, and he
said only a short matter of two or
three weeks. The recorder gave
him until six O'Clock this evening to
get money from home or from
somewhere else and he was taken
back to the bat cave.
Another case of vagrancy was
disposed of by the party charged
pleading guilty.

TAKEN TO FORT SMITH.
Alleged Train Robbers Make q
Strong Resistance.

Fort Smith, June IS. Inspector
Houk and Deputy Marshal Lee
brought in three men today, sup
posed to be the men who robbed
the Pee Gee train at Shady Point.
The men are miners and have en-
ployed able counsel who will appear
for them before the commissioners
Monday.
They made a running fight and
were captured after hard chase.
One of the guns they ssed was a
shot gun, identified as one stolen
May i8 from the Wells-Fargo Co.,
at Wister, ]. T. The engineer
whom the robbers held up has seen
these men who held him up, and
the guns he is almost certain are
the same, as he had good oppof-
tunity to see them well on the
night of the robbery, The men be-
ing masked, the engineer cannot
swear to their identity, but is NOR
ally certain they are the robbers
In explanation Of their resistance
the men say they thought they
were being arrested for some al
|
legea violation of the federal iu-
junction which has been issued
against the striking miners. They
are from the mines at Witteville,
which are two miles from the scene
of the robbery.
