Al this writing nothing % known
as to the Whereabouts Of murderer
Llewellyn. who it is claimed
passed through this city last We'd
nesday morning. The officers are
still out and all sorts OF rumors are
in the air, but no definite news had
been received from the seat of war
up to noon yesterday.
Wednesday morning Under
sheriff Steward and w. H. Brooke
met a stranger at the race track
and conyersed with him for several
minutes. He appeared to be nes-
vous and ill-at-ease and had no in
clination to talk. He claimed that
he had been working at Rocky
Ford picking cantaloupes and was
waiting to make a train out
Up to that time no accurate de-
scription Of Llewellyn had been
published. When Steward read
the Wednesday morning Denver
papers, however. he became salts
fed that the description given in
them fitted the man he had been
talking to. accurately, and he pro-
ceeded to hunt him up. He was
seen making his way east. and
Steward and Brooke followed him.
When commanded to halt he
started to run and was soon out OF
sight. Steward sent Brooke back
to La Junta for assistance and
Sheriff Barr, Marshall Nixon and
a posse joined in the chase. They
searched the river bottoms all day
but not trace of the fugitive could
they find excep, a few footprints
They gave up the chase about 4
o'clock and returned to town. A
telephone message was sent TO
Denver and three detectives came
down on No. 6, who were joined at
La Junta by Sheriff Barr. Steward
and posse. They got off at Las
Animas and started to resume the
search. About $50 o'clock
Thursday morning a man was seen
on the outskirts OF town and when
commanded to halt by Barr and
Steward he started to run. Stew
ard says he was only about sixty
feet away, but that it was SO dark
you could hardly see the barrel Of
a gun. The officers fired four
shots after the supposed murderer
and heard him run into a barbed
wire fence, and that is the last
trace that has been discovered up
to date.
Thursday morning a posse com
posed of Marshal Nixon, L. A. Ben
ton, Eugene Gleason, p. E. Lewis,
w. II. Brooke and number OF
others went down to Robinson on
No. 8. where they were joined by
S. N. Rose and Mosby Lee on
horseback. A thorough search OF
the river bottoms all the way to
Las Animas was made, but it was
fruitless.
Undersherif Steward received
telephone message from Las
Animas about noon that the posse
was still out and in the vicinity OF
Caddoa, but no particulars were
given as to what kind of clew
they were working on. if any.

Race OF the Lights.

Acetylene gas has the greatest il.
Illuminating power of any of the inum-
inants. The electric arc light stands
next, incandescent gas third, and the
incandescent electric lights fourth.
Gas oil and candles follow in the or
der named. When gas was first put
into use in 1905 it was predicted that
lamps would at once be abandoned.
Yet many people still prefer lamps to
any other method of illumin alton.
Twenty years ago, when the electric
light was put on the market, prophets
foresaw the immediate ruin Of the gas
business. This prophecy has been
falsetied, though the electric light
business has grown to be one OF i'm
mense Importance. Each new illum-
inaut seems to make field for itself,
without encroaching seriouly on it's
older rivals.-Ex.
