ALLEGEDINSIOE STORY
Interesting Sketch Of The Men Ar
rested For Holding Up BoWman's
Rank

The Silver City Enterprise tells the
following story of the two men arrest
ed in San Antonio, Texas, by Ben
Williams on the charge of holding up
the Bowman bank at Las Cruces:
1t is evidently impossible for some
criminally inclined persons to keep out
OF trou BILE, even if they make strenu-
Gus efforts to reform. The reading
public of this section remem bers the
horrible murder of Prof. J. 81. Sim
mons, who WAS teaching at Cook =
Peak, on the night of April 10, 1895,
the mystery of which has not yet been
solved. Soon after the murder James
Brooks and William Wilson we're sus-
pected and arrested. For more than
one year their attorneys fought for
a trial, but the territory was search
ing for the necessary evidence to
convict. which, falling to secure. the
indictments were dropped with leave
| to reins tate, and Brooks and Wilson
released.
For u time after their release Wilson
was engaged in work in the Organ
mountains and Brooks at Hanover.
Brooks ran a small boarding house at
Hanover and finally saved up a few
hurdred dollars, by non-payment OF
bills, etc, sending his wife to Cochtse
county. Arizona, by rail, and then
skipped with borrowed horse, steal
ing saddle, the property of j. F..
Rabb. He WAS captured some ten
days ago in Arizona and Sheriff Blair
brought him to Silver City.
Brooks grew confidential and said
that Wilson, accompanied by one j.
Wilbur, had come to Arizona and en-
d avored to persuade him to assist
mans bank in Las Cruces, which
Tharnnn0n q
quarrel ensued between Brooks and
Wilson, the latter and his partner be-
ing chased away by Brooks with a
Winchester rifle. Shortly after this
visit to Brooks the robbery was COM
mitted in Las Cruces.
The inform alton obtained from
Brooks by Sheriff Blair was communi-
Gated to the Dona Ana county officers.
Deputy Sheriff Williams then came to
Silver City and obtained further de-
tails as to Brooks story, which infor-
nation put him upon the right trail,
the result being the capture of Wilson
and Wilbur in San Antonio, Texas.
Immediately upon the capture Will
Jams wired Sheriff Blair.
Every circumstance, together with
q description of the robbers, goes to
prove that Brooks story was correct,
and that Wilson and Wilbur are the
bank robbers.
Four indictments are pending here
against Brooks and Wilson and they are
likely to $50 over the road" for q long
sentence. It ia also possible, now that
Wilson and Brooks have quarreled, to
get the true facts of the Simmons
murder.
Due credit should be given to Sheriff
Blair for his interest aud activity in
ferreting out the true robbers.

There's been some talk lately about

would actually throw themselves on

they don't smell nice in scufiie.

Jacks coup. We used to be worried
good deal by night attacks. The
beggars used to try to rush us on dark
nights, and even single fellows sneak
ed their way into the camp sometimes.
Jack laid out some mines at one
place we pitched at to welcome them
with. One middle watch the word was
passed that they were coming. and we
all turned out to receive them.
There was some loose scrub a little
distance off which had led Jack to eX-
pect attack from that side and To lay
the mines there accordingly. We could
see dark forms moving about in the
scrub and edging toward us. though
rather slowly, and after Il rather tire

cerning the school,:
OTTAWA, KAs., Nov. 10, 1900.
Editor Sentinel, Grand junction, Colo:
Dear Sir and Friend You may say
through your columns to the public, that
we believe in asking that We may receive.
We believe in receiving. that we may in
return, give. Ths Grand Junction Busi-
ness College is founded upon the same
principles that have made grand sue
cess of the college with which it is closely
associated. The university business
college of Ottawa is enjoying very
phenomenal success financially, and has
gained the favor Of the people OF broad
country, owing to the success OF large
number Of its graduates that have gone
out to represent it, as cultured and we'll
trained young men and women.
The two schools are 900 miles apart,
yet we are now working over the entire
country lying between them. 1t is our
intention to add to the population of
Grand Junction.; to add an enterprise to
the town which will be very beneficial to
the business houses and Of great benefit
to the homes OF Grand function and VIC
unity, as there will be good school OF
business training close to home where
the boys and girls may receive practi-
cal business education, without the ex-
pense and Inconvenience OF going away.
We have crossed the mountains and
opened this school with no thoughts OF
failure. Have already spent hundreds
of dollars advertising throughout Colo
RADIO and Utah. Twenty seven editors
are carrying our announcements, and
twenty stenographsrs of the Ottawa
school have been kept busy for the last
two months writing the letters which
have gone to all parts Of Colorado. We
are building a school at Gradd Junction
and want the support Of the people OF
the town.
We have, in this letter, set before you
matters as they are, and now we throw
open our doors for patronage. We have

to remain in the memory Of the people,
and consequently on Thanksgiving Day
greatly reduce our rates. We ask the
people OF Grand junction to buy our
scholarships. Is not an enterprise OF
this nature in your town worth $50 to
your We trust that it is, and that many
scholarships will be bought on the day
of our reduction, oven though the boy or
girl for whom it is bought is not yet
ready to enter, and it be laid away for
future use. We wish to receive the
hearty cooperation Of the people OF
Grand junction. and on the Monday fol-
lowing Thanksgiving to open our school
and carry on it's work in a way that will
be admired by all wide-awake, enthusias-
tic and enterprising citizens Of the town
which is the home of this school.

Census Work.

Supervisor Laughlin of the census
states that an earnest effort will be made
to get the statistics of the state up in a
creditable manner that will give the gen.
eral public some idea of the rapid devel-
opment of the hickertail country.
He has had a difficult task to get the
maps and data required by the depart
ment, but has been ably assisted by the
county auditors and school superinten-
dents of the state.
In the selection of the enumerators
prefer ence will be given to school teach
ers and struggling young men who are
trying to acquire an education.
AS the census is under the supervision
of the republican administration, natur-
ally enumerators of that political faith
will be chosen. In some counties meet,
ings have already been held to select
men to be recommended for the posi-
tons. Mr.. Laughlin will be largely
guided by these recommendations in all
cases where he is assured of the Compel
ency of the parties selected.

Don't Want EN-.

A Fort Yates dispatch says: Stand
ing Rock Indians do not take kindly to
the proposal for the removal of the San
tees from Devils Lake to this reserva-
ton. They hold that they have not more
than land enough for themselves. Prob
ably the best plan would be that pro-
posed some years ago, namely, to buy
out the few settlers on the old Fort Rice
reservation, north of this reservation, at
tach some land west of this, and form a
separate reservation but adjoining Stand
ing Rock: This proposed reservation
would have fifty miles frontage on the
Missouri river, fine hay meadows and
abundant timber and coal, and could be
procured at very small cost. Major
B%ingenheimer, the agent here, is in favor
of this plan, excepting for the fact that
liquor would be easily procured on the
north side from white people.

Buying Wool in Advance.
The demand for wool is leading specu-
lators to buy in anticipation of the next
clip. The Dickinson Press says:
In the last few weeks considerable has
been talked about wool prices for the
coming season. Wool buyers have been
through the country trying to contract
for some of the best clips. Here is a
proposition that a New York speculator
made to S. P. Gotta: Twenty cents per
pound, the sheep to be counted now and
averaged at 7 pounds per head, two
thirds of the purchase price figured on
this basis to be deposited in the First
National bank to Mr.. Cota's credit ard
he be allowed to use one-half Of the de-
posit money without interest. In case
that the price of wool should go higher
than 20 cents and Mr.. Gotta should desire
to sell to other parties he to have the
privilege of so doing by paying the wool
buyers l cent per pound. This buyer
made similar offers to a number of Glen
dive parties, but SO far as known none Of
the offers were accepted. 4
