TWO ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Arrest Of Men Who Broke Into the American
Express Office Al Paris.

Paris, May 3.-The principal auth
or of the robbery of the American Ex'
press Co. Is office in Paris the night OF
April 26, when three masked burglars
escaped with 1000 francs, has been
arrested. His name is George Miller.
For some time he has lived in Paris
under the name of james Samuel, be-
ing employed in barber shop. Some
days before the burglary the detectives
noticed three mon of English appear
ance whose behavior was very mysteri-
Gus. These persons entered banks
without doing ahy business, and in
spected buildings. The detectives
maintained careful watch at the
railway stations for persons who
might possibly have been connected
with the robbery, and their patience
was awarded when they apprehended
Miller. Miller was the bearer of a
large number of stolen checks to the
amount of 5000 francs in a box in a
leather handbag. He had also in this
bag dynamite cartridges, jimmies, a
metal saw and drills of the finest
steel.
Another one OF the thieves has been
arrested at Amiens, his baggage being
seized at the railway station. Other
arrests are imminent.

pITlFUL FATE OF A CHILD.
Lost on the Desert, . Little Girl Dies Of
HUNGER and Exposure.

North Yakima, WASH, May GA
5-year-old girl has been found on the
lonely desert of the Horse Heaven
country, 10 miles from her home,
standing in badger hole, where she
died from starvation. The child was
the daughter of Hon. W. b. Mat
thews, ex-coun.y commissioner Of
Yakima county. Searching parties
had been securing the country for FIVE
days and nights in an effort to locate
the child alive. 1t was thought that
she had been carried away by Indians
and would be found on the reserva-
ton. She had been tracked II miles
from her home when all traces OF her
were obliterated by the winds blowing
the tracks from the sand.
Two children, a boy aged eight
years, and the girl, five, were sent out
from home five days ago to look after
some lost cattle. They walked away
until 10 miles from home, when grow
ing tired they fell asleep. A passing
cowboy noticed them, and after arous-
ing the sleepers took them on his
pony and carried them almost home.
The children then assured him that
they could get home without further
assistance, and he let them go alone.
The night came on and it is supposed
the boy ran faster than his sister and
left her behind. When he reached
home he was frightened and could not
tell exactly what had happened. A
search was made for the girl, but she
could not be found that night.
