From the Denver Republican.
George F. Newton has solved a mystery
one that has puzzled him during all the
many years he has been a dweller in the
widest districts of the Rocky mountains.
TIe made this announcement TO Deputy
Game Commissioner Holland yesterday.
Mr.. Newton is superintendent of Glen
Beulah Park, a game preserve of 800 acres
situated in Mesa county, about eighteen
miles northwest of De Beque, which is
leased from the state by the Glen Beulah
Park Association, in which are several
Denver sportsmen.

present to tell him that it was no mys

ed a few struggling grayish locks that

Mr. Newton turned his own head in imi

deer areaked in the snow, forming the
queer tracks that have so long puzzled
me. 1 knew always what the tracks

Pupin's laboratory one can hear dis

of the building which is transmitted
through the 250-mile-long cable but as
soon as the coils are removed from the
circuit by the insertion of the plugs the
audibiity rapidly decreases and soon dis
appears.
The results of the laboratory expert
ment apparently leave nothing to be de-
sired and no serious objections were
found against the trial and adoption of
The method on long -distance lines. The
coils having the inductors could be placed
on the cross bars of the poles carrying
overhead wires, or could be located just
within the sheathing of cable; in either
case the expense for manufacture and in
stallation would be small in comparison
with the cost of the conductor. BY the
use of such conductor Prof. Pupin
believes that far higher rate of speed
as well as multiplying could be secured
In an ocean cable, and it would tend
greatly to increase use and cheaper the
rate for messages. 1t seems also probable
that the present limit for speaking by
aerial metallic circuit wires, now at St.
Louis at 1900 miles from New York and
barely satisfactory, will be exceeded by
the use of this new system and the great
expense of the copper conductors will be
appreciably lessened.

Waycross, Ga, May 2e.-John Smith,
the colored chicken thief, who robbed the
hen roost of Policeman John Lee was
given a term of nine months on the chain
gang.
A visit TO Smiths den, located near a
pine thicket near the Jacksonville branch.
south of Waycross, reveals the fact that
he was a peculiar recluse. His house con-
tains two small rooms, one up stairs, and
one down, the upper evidently being used
as a place of lookout. The lower room
is so connected with a network of wires
that it would have been impossible for
any one to approach it closely without
touching one of them, and waking up the
inmate. The house is situated in a per-
feet labyrinth of rences, there being
five or six of them surrounding the place.
These are all substantial board affairs,
about seven feet high. None of them
have gates, the negro effecting ingress
and egress by means of ladders.
After he had robbed Policeman Lees
hen roost Smith went to the residence CT
Mr. H. b. Lee, where he was discovered
by that gentleman making off with two
chickens. Mr.. Lee gave chase and SON
captured the negro, who is rather portly.
Smith Tried to escape and had to be knock
ed down two or three times before he
concluded to go to Jail.
Ed Knox has been appointed by the
City Council TO number the houses of
Waycrosss and place names of streets on
the corners. He will complete the work
within sixty days, and everything will be
in readiness for the free delivery system.

Eight ON CITY Attorney.

Atlanta, May 26.-The jefferson Club, a
secret political order proposes to take a
hand in city politics. Already they have
begun a warfare on Judge Anderson, the
city attorney. They want the city attor-
ney to devote all of his time to the citys
business and not to engage in private
practice. They are opposed to having an
assistant city attorney. They contend that
one attorney, by giving the city all of his
time, can attend to all of the city's legal
business The city attorney, they claim,
should have an office at the City Hall like
other city officers, and be accessible when
ever his services are required.

KILLED BY CANNiBAlS.
Probable Fate Of an Expedition Sent Out From
Mexican City.

Hermosllo, capital OF the state OF So
nora, Mexico, is excited over the disas-
ter which has overtaken the Wells eX-
pedition. This expedition was fitted out
by Mr.. Wells, OF Hermosilo. to explore
the island OF Tortugas in the Gull OF
California The expedition left Guaymas
in sloop last June and the first ac-
count OF its progress reached Hermo-
sillo three days ago There were IL
men in the expedition. According to
news which was sent from the Isla Del
Guardia, there are but three left.
The object OF the expedition was to
explore Tortugas, the unknown island
owned by Mexico, but controlled by
cannibals Many attempts have been
made to establish a civilized settlement
in Tortugas, but all have failed. About
five years ago an expedition, fitted out
in San Francisco, landed upon the ISL
and and was massacred. For more than
200 years this island has been known as
the home OF a cannibal race whose Gus.
toms are unknown. More than a dozen
expeditions have landed on the island
and nearly all have been annihiated.
The Wells expedition left Guaymas last
June. Valuable mineral and agricultural
grants were to be given DR.. Wells il he
could establish settlement upon the
island. They landed in the early part OF
July on the northern coast.

A NOVEL WEAPON,
An Ohio Woman Terribly SIashed With a
Hook Affixed 10 Polo In the
Hands Of Burglars.

Mrs. A. +. Smith is lying at her home
in Bowling Green, o.. terribly injured
by wounds inflicted by large hook in
the hands of a pair of burglars early
Friday morning. The men who COM
mtted the desperate deed escaped,
though they were given a hard chase
with pair OF bloodhounds belonging to
Sheriff Kingsbury.
Mrs. Smith is an invalid and was at
tackled in her bed by the fellows. She
awoke to find cloth saturated with
chloroform on her face. She discovered
at the same moment that the cloth was
attached to a pole, which was thrust in
through window. She grasped the
pole and shriekcd for help.
The fellows tried to get the pole away
from her, but she hung on, though a
sharp hook fixed in the end OF the pole
was raked across her face and body with
great force, terribly lacerating the flesh.
Finally the fellows let go OF the pole
and ran.
The police were on the ground with
two bloodhounds in a short time. and
the dogs readily followed the trail OF the
burglars About a half mile from the
house the fugtives ran into n creek and
the trail was lost. The hook is about
three inches across and is made as sharp
as a needle at the point.
