TOM KETCHUM OWNS UP
He Is the Original Black Jack and Admits
Having Perpetrated Several Robberies
The Prisoner Likely to Die of
Blood Poisoning.

United States Marshal C. M. Foraker
and Sheriff Cicero Stewart, of Eddy
county, arrived last evening, bringing
! train robbery in Union county, and also
with the murder of Sheriff Farr, Of Col
orado. They also brought with them
Tom Ketchum, of the men who re-
| Gently attempted to hold up a train on
the Colorado and Southern, and was
shot by the conductor of the train. Tom
Ketchum is badly wounded in the right
arm by eleven buckshot from the gun
of the conductor, and it is feared that
I blood -poisoning has set in and thai he
will die the same as his brother, Sam
ketchum, did vt the penitentiary, from
a wound in the shoulder, a short time
ago. Sheriff Stewart, after assisting in
delivering the two men at the peniten-
tiary, left last night for Eddy county.
Tom Ketchum was taken in charge
by United States Marshal Foraker at
Trinidad, where the outlaw was in the
hospital. Ketchum refused to have his
arm amputated, and attempted suicide.
He first asked for a revolver with
which to shoot himself, and when that
was refused, took the %bandages from
his ARM, when alone wrapped them
around his neck, and put his foot into
the loop, trying to strange himself. He
was unconscious when found, and it
was two hours before he regained con-
seriousness. At first he was sullen and
surly, but later became laxative, and
told Marshal Foraker that he had COM
not with his brother when the recent
train robbery near Folsom was commit
ted. In fact, he did not know that his
brother was dead until Marshal Fora
ker told him. IF T had known that the
train had been held up near Folsom
only a short time before, I would not
have made the attempt a second time"
said Ketchum to Foraker.
Marshal Foraker is convinced that
Ketchum is the original BLACK Jack"
ketchum at first gave his name as
Thomas Stevens, but admitted later be-
ing Tom Ketchum. He said when ar
rested that the affair at Folsom was his
first attempt at train robbing, and that
he was formerly a peaceable cowboy,
and was alone in the hold-up. But he
admitted later having had accomplices
in the last hold-up at Folsom.
McGinnis was a non-communicative
prisoner.
Both prisoners were given a hearing
this forenoon at the penitentiary by
United States Commissioner J. P. Vic
tory.
The prisoners waived examination on
the nominal charge of interfering with
the United States mail and were asked
to furnish 81, 900 bond for their appear
ance at court. More serious charges
will be made later.
1t is related that the brother of the
Ketchums at San Angelo, Texas, some
months ago supplied Tom and Sam
Ketchum with money to start in the
cattle business in Idaho. The two
outlaws afterwards separated and indie
pendenty sought their old stamping
ground in northeastern New Mexico,
and without the knowledge of each 9TH
err resolved to rob the Colorado South
ern train, upon different occasions, and
both met with disaster.

In grading for the switchback on the
Jim Fair mine, near the south end of
the claim at Hanover, a large body of
low-grade copper was uncovered.
The Santa Rita Copper Company has
made Frank Bell a conditional offer for
his Philadelphia mine. One of the con-
ditions is that the company be- allowed
to do six months prospecting on the
property, and among other things be al
lowed to sink a 2OO-foot shaft.
]. B.. Gilchrist has sunk a reservoir
to bedrock in the gulch below the
Hutch mine at Hanover, from which
he will pump water to supply boilers at
the iron mines on the hillside. The dis
tance is 400 feet.
Seventy-ive tons of iron ore is ship
ped from Grant county to Colorado ev-
cry day, and this will be increased to
500 tons as soon as the Hanover railroad
is finished. New Mexico, especially
Grant county, is ar important producer
of copper, but because much of the ors
is shipped to smelters outside of the
territory, some even going to Aguas
Calientes, Mexico, the territory does not
get credit for the amount Of ore it pro-
duces.
Sixteen miners have leases OF the sill
yer mines of Chloride Flat, and all of
them are making money. One of the
~leasers cleared 81, $500 in the last four
months.
Ashton & Roach have let a contract
to sink a 1OO-foot shaft on the Wild Cat
at Santa Rita.
A strike of high-grade copper has
been made by Edward Baker on the
Lucky Boy. The Mckinley also shows
up well. Both claims adjoin the Santa
Rita mines on the west.
Ruben Bennett has a 3-foot body Of
ore on one of his bonanza group at
Hanover. Besides high-grade copper,
the ore carries $40 in gold and IS in sill
yer per ton.
Thomas Madden made an eighteen
ton shipment Of Stag and h%igh-grade
copper to the smelter at Aguas Caliente
from the old adobe smelter near the
Hanover mine.
Foreman Williams, of the Johnnie
Bull, at STEMS pass, struck a large
body of h~igh-grade ore on the 70-foot
level. The shaft on the mine Is down
1870 feet, and will be SUM to 500 feet. A
great deal of drifting will be done.

! the.South would have one billion dol
lars, enough to build factories to spin
every bale of cotton raised in the ten
States. To make the farmers deliver
the cotton to the States and not sell
to outsiders, have every bale tagged
like guano and have the tags sold for
ten dollars each, but the States put
the tags on the cotton they buy. The
cotton exported would bring into the
United States over one hundred mil
lion more gold, SO the whole country
would be benefited and made richer.
"This is the only way the cotton
can be handled to advantage for all
the people.
ga company Of two hundred million
dollars could be raised in thirty days
to carry out this plan if it could be
controlled by private parties, but they
cannot do it, but the States can, by
working together, do this, and then
have laws enacted to meet and carry
it out. If this is done then the South
will assert it's power ard show to all
nations the garden spot Of the world.

More Personality Needed.

The need is for the introduction
into reform work of more of the factor
of personality. A soul is more than a
statistic; a man can do more than a
method. While it is important to
convince the head, it is Of great mo-
ment to move the heart. And hearts
are drawn out toward other hearts.
Men, as a rule, Fall in love with causes
when they are led to esteem the advo-
Gates Of those causes. The reformer
is the inspiration Of the reform.
What moves the world is not men
alone, nor ideas alone, but men and
ideas in vital and vigorous union. 1t
is the Luthers, the Cromwells, the
Savonarolas, the White6elds, the Fin
neys, that master the multitudes by
their own consecrated heroism and
swing them into line with the causes
they have espoused. In such cases it
is not so much the man who has made
the cause his own as it is the cause
that possesses itself of the man, and
through him Of other men. 1t is per-
sonality that is persuasive, as the
magnetism Of manhood re-enforces the
pleas of an abstract cause.-Ne,o York

Strange Tale Of a Dying Man.

YATES CENTRE, KAN. July 49,
The death Of Leonard B. Bleeker,
aged 72 years, which recently occurred
here, has revealed case Of self-sacri.
fee seldom heard of outside the do
main of fiction. Three years ago
Bleeker came to this country peddling
a few cheap articles and, too old and
weary to proceed farther, kind
hearted farmer took him in and cared
for him until he died. To the family
which befriended him he told the
story Of his life, reserving for the
grave the specific names Of persons
and localities.
He stated that in 1861 he left a wife
and FIVE children in Michigan and an
swered the first call for volunteers.
The fortunes of war were against him
and for months he lay prisoner in
Andersonville prison. For some rea-
son he was led to believe that GER
tain other batch Of prisoners would
soon be exchanged. Among them
was dying man and the two comrades
exchanged names and military desig-
nations. The soldier died and the
death was reported as that Of Leonard
B. Blocker, and is so recorded in the
war department. The real Blocker
was released after time, rejoined his
regiment and served until the close Of
the war without communicating with
his family. Then he went back and
found his wife married to another
man. He ascertained that his chill
dren were we'll cared for and then left
the community without revealing his
identity. Throughout his life he
carefully guarded his secret and since
coming here was often urged to apply
for a pension, but stoutly refused.
Even when near death he would not
reveal the location Of his former home
or permit anyone to communicate with
his old associates. He was man Of
more than ordinary education and the
truth of his story or the possession Of
aoble purpose in his long sacrifice
cannot be doubted. Chicago CAroni-

stream was once on the beach at the
outlet of a creek in New York State
looking for shore birds when he saw a
colored boy, who was fishing for perch,
lay down his pole at the call of his
mother to do some errand.
The sportsman put his gun aside
and took the cane pole and fished, ad-
ding dozen perch to the boys string
and then sneaked off. Presently a

way, asked the boy the usual question

"Ar, my dear sir, y observed the
