with the Rough Riders.
From the time of landing until the
fall OF Santiago the Rough Riders
were giant figures in the campaign.
Their work reached climax on July
1, when Lieut.-Col. Roosevelt led the
regiment in the desperate charge up
San Juan hill. He had shared all the
hardships of his men, and when he
broke the red tape of discipline to
complain of Gen. Skaters camp and
its dangers from disease the army was
with him and the war department lis
tened to his judgment. On July IL he
was commissioned a colonel of volun-
teers.
Elected Governor of New York.
Scarcely two months later the new
military hero was nominated for gov
ernor of New York. In the conven-
ton he received 1853 votes, against the
21S cast for Gov. Frank S. Black.
Col. Roosevelt entered into the cam
paign with characteristic energy. Men
of all parties supported him and he
was elected by a plurality of more
than $4,000. His administration was
very satisfactory to his state.
AS reformer, official, military leader
and state executive, he has carried his
earnest dashing personality into 1t all.
AS Writer.
AS a writer of outing papers his
varied experiences on the trail have
served him well. In biography, his
life of Thomas H. Benton and of
Gouvernour Norris have been praised.
Essays and papers dealing with politi-
cal life have added to this reputation.
OF his latest work, "The Rough Rid
ers' has been pointed to as zone OF
the most thrilling pieces of military
history produced in recent years.
When his name was first proposed
for the vice presidency, Mr.. Roosevelt
declined the honor, preferring to re-
main governor. He finally consented,
after much pressure.

Though established only two or three

Stanfeld and Gary, and each report
showed q great increase in the amount
of mail matter handled over the De-
cember report. One carrier delivered

pieces of mail matter than he handled
in December, though that was a busy

families are thus served with daily

WOMAN SAVES A HEAVY TRAIN
Which Might Have Gone Into a
Trestle.


But for the presence Of mind of a
pretty young woman a Central pas
senger train, en- route from Columbus
to Americus, might have been wrecked
yesterday morning.
It was quite close call for Conduc-
tor Sapp and his train.
AS the engine swung around a sharp
curve and approached trestle the en-
gineer saw the woman waving a signal
frantically.
The airbrake was applied and the
heavy train was brought to a stand
still just at the end of the bridge.
The source If danger was a horse
that had fallen partly through the
trestle, breaking leg and becoming
so firmly wedged between the cross
ties that it couldn't get up.
With great difficulty the train crew
finally hoisted the half dead animal
out of the way, and wreck was thus
averted.
And now comes the interesting part
of the whole story.
The pretty girl who signaIed the
train was red-headed, or, to put it
mllder, her tresses were auburn. The
color of the horse was gray; another
very singular coincidence.
But still more so, the owner of the
horse, who came up about this time,
was AIRED headed farmer living over
the hill near by.

THEIR DAY OF DOOM
IS NEAR AT HAND.
Three Murderers to Swing All In a
Bunch.
CHARLES PERRY ANN PARTNER
Now Convicted and Will Be Executed
When Third Man is Tried Letter
From a Philadelphia officer of Gen
eral Interest Here.

Charles Perry, of Americas, will
soon stand upon the death trap in
Philadelphia to pay the life penalty for
a crime committed there.
Perry, as is we'll known here, was
convicted of murder in Philadelphia
several months ago along with con-
federate, Henry Ivory, the two having
been concerned with another negro,
Sterling, in the brutal killing of Pro-
lessor White Of the state law college.
The story of the homicide was given
in full at that time.
For some reason the trial of Sterling
has been deferred and is still pending.
There is little doubt of his guilt, it is
said, and in the event of his conviction
the precious trio will be sentenced to
swing together,
AS much interest is felt in Americas
in the fate of Charles Perry, Chief
Wheeler wrote to Philadelphia officer
this week to find out whether he had
been hanged.
Yesterday Chief Wheeler received
the following letter to his inquiry:
Philadelphia, Jan. 31-Dear Sir:
Your favor of the goth, at hand. Perry
and Ivory were both convicted of muir
in the first degree, but have not yet
been sentenced. The third man, Sterl-
lug, has not been tried, and [ presume
