LIVE TOPICS ABOUT TOWN.

'sSpeaking of Lawton and the Geron-
limo affair." said Assistant Special
Treasury,Agent Rule today, reminds
me of a good newspaper story. Al
the time General Crook went into the
Sierra Msdres to bring Geronimo out
he was lost for quite awhile. That 1e,
lost to the outside world. Communf-
cation was out off for several weeks ard
there was great anxiety felt at his
silence. The associated press finally
offered 81 900 reward to the person who
would bring in reliable information
about Crook. [ was in the newspaper
business at Tombstone at the time.
An old froptiersman came into my
Office and said that Re knew where Crook
was. He offered to find him for an
equal share of the $1,000. I secured
two horses and was ready to start with
him. 1 called upon the represent ative
of the associated press and he said he
was going to spend the $1,000 on his
account in searching for the news. The
old scout said he could return with
authentic news within five days, but
the A. P. man was obdurate and said
he would send two men on Crooks
trail. He sent the men and they got
lost. Within few days Crook came
out with Geronimo. or, rather, Geroni-
mo came out with Crook, and settled
the mystery of his whereabouts. He
had been exactly where the old scout
said he was. I don't know whether
the two men sent out to find him we're
ever found or not.''
Emmett Crawford Post G. A. r.
of this city, was named after Captain
Emmett Crawford, who was shot by
mis- take by band of Mexican ruralas
in Sonora while in pursuit of Geronimo.
Captain Lawton was sent in his place
with one company of soldiers and. the

ed by Major Writ Davis.

"WHY will men gambler" asks the
City of Mexico Herald after relating a
story to the effect that wealthy Bel
gisn merchant resid emit In Puebla COM
planned before the judge of the first
criminal court of that city that he had
been robbed at poker. He met two
very elegantly dressed men, obsequi-
ously courteous, in q fashionable can
tina who, after enticing him into con-
versation, insinuatingly suggested a
game at poker just for "paso TEMPO"
The wealthy Belgian merchant was
induced to take hand, and after few
hours play he found himself minus a
very large sum which he told only to
the judge. In the meantime the two
courteous. obliging poker players left

NO LONGER A TERROR.

City Journal, when the announcement
of q number of cases of smallpox in
that city would have caused general
excitement and alarm in the commuu-
ity. Thanks to the advancement of

that time has passed. Not only are
there few fatalities from this disc
nowadays, but there is no longer any
danger that it will grow to the pro-
portions of formidable epidemic.
Every we'll regulated city is prepared
to cope successfully with contagious
diseases.
Some time ago, the Journal reports,
several persons afflicted with small
pox came to Kansas; City from
neighboring towns without attracting
the attention of the health officers.
AS result there are now number of
cases in the city. But there is no real
uneasiness and eno excitement what
ever over the matter. Kansas City
has an efficient and we'll equipped
board of health. This board is per-
mitted to call upon the public funds to
any extent necessary to cope with ex-
listing dangers. The most systematic
and thorough quarantine OF persons
and houses infected will be made, and
the disease will soon be stamped out,
as it invariably has been whenever it
has appeared there within the past
twenty years.
