Rolled An Alderman.

Roger Brunpick, a well known railroad
man and alderman from the first ward,
was "rolled" yesterday and relieved OF a
wallet containing about $65. 1t being
just after pay day Mr.. Brunnick still
carried a portion OF his months wages
about him. aud two miners from the San
Juan country, evidently knowing this,
induced Mr.. Brunnick to take drink
with them, and soon had him in condi-
tion which made 1t easy for them to get
in their work.
As soon as Mr.. Brunnick could reahze
the state Of affairs, and missed bis
money. he hunted up an officer and had
the two men arrested.
The fellows. who gave their names as
Thomas Featherston and John Nc
Ginnis, we're given hearing before JUS
tice Byers this afternoon.

Concerning Douglass.

The followin com munication has been
received at this office, from Douglass
Arizona, situated on the line Of the Ell
Paso & Southern railroad to which point
large number of Grand Junction peo.
pie have gone:--
Editor Sentinel perhaps a
few little items regarding this place
might prove interesting to the readers
OF your paper, especially as there are
several Grand junction people here, so
just jotted down a few Of the facts con-
cerning the town:
Douglass is recently coming right to
the front. There are already about 5000
people here and they are coming in by
the train load every day. A regular
passenger has been put ON the read,
which leaves here in the morning at 6:oO
and gets into Demming, New Mexico, at
$3.50.
There are two smelters here, one has a
capacity Of 1900 tons of ore per day,
while the other has capacity of 500
tons daily. Neither smelter is completed
but both are under course of construc.
tion. Both smelters are using a work
train night and day, and within 80 days
there will be pay roll here of 5000
per month.
Prices here are good, In fact they are
away up. 1t seems that the houses
also spring upi the night.
There is an electric railway to the
smelters in course of construction, the
ground is ready and the material is on
the ground. together with a force of
workmen. There are quite a number
who have come directly from the juno.
tion here.
This place has abunant supply OF wa
ter. Wells are pat down 100 to 200 feet
deep. and the water is very soft and de-
licious.
There is good depot here and the
chops are much better equipped than
they are in Grand Junction, and there is
being built a strictly modern round
house.
Douglas is only half mile from Old
Mexico line and good Mexican cigars
are on tap all the time.
The country here has it's drawbacks
Each spring there are terrific sand
storms and the weather gets pretty hot
in summer.

Took Jswelry off.

Columbus, Aug. 1S.-Mrs. Frederick
W. Prentiss, wife Of the president Of the
Hayden Clinton National bank, was held
up in her own home here today by a
masked robber and at the point OF a re-
volver compelled to deliver $1,000 worth
Of diamonds. Mrs. Prentiss had just
completed dressing for reception and
had seated herself In her bedroom. Sud
denly she heard a revolver click and
looking up, faced a roughly dressed man
over whose face hung a handkerchief and
on whose cap were the words, "Gas In
spector." Mrs Prentiss stripped the
rings from her fingers and handed them
over when rhe door bell rang and the
robber fed.

FORGED A CHECK.
A Farm Hand Wants Quick Cash.
Forses Check for $l46 on
James B, Hunter,

George Fossil, for eleven days a farm
hand employed by James B. Hunter, is
in the county Jail where he will have
plenty of time to study penmanship and
arrive possibly at the conclusion that it
does not pay to write other peoples
names on checks.
Fossil came to the farm OF James B.
Hunter eleven days ago and on Sunday
last while the family were away he en-
tered the house and obtaining check
book Of Mr. Hunters proceeded to write
out check for himself 10 the sum Of
sl46, which he made payable to the
name Of Thomas Rogers, an old employe
OF Mr.. Hunter. He of course forged the
name OF Mr.. Hunter to the check and
also that OF Rogers. impersonating the
latter.
This morning Fossil came 10 town and
went to the Fair and purchased pair
OF shoes and hat, rendering the check of
$l46 to Mr.. Meyer in payment for same.
The amount OF the check aroused the
suspicious OF Mr.. Meyer and he went to
the telephone and called up Mr.. Hunter
to see whether the check was genuine.
While Mr.. Meyer and Hunter were talk
ing the man overhearing the conver ga
ton skipped out Of the store. The
sneriff's Office was notified OF the attempt
to pass the check and Wes Smith was de-
tailed to look for tho man. just as he
was about to start out in search OF Fossil
the latter walked right into Smiths
arms, Lear Scovill's stables.

claim that the rattler was as big
around as a stove pipe. For an in
slant it raised it's head in the air
and hooked at them; then it dropped
the rabbit in the road and made a
straight start for the terrified ne
groes. It's rattles sounded like the
beating of a snare drum, making a
hideous noise. The entire crowd of
worlzmen, instead of turning upon
the snake and dispatching it, took
flight down the road, and had a foot
race which will not soon be seen
again. The horses also saw the snake
and stampeded, and pandemonium
reigned. ILL.,.
Half an hour later the negroes re-
turned to the place and found that
the RATHER had recovered the rabbit
and was out of sight. A party with
guns searched for the snake, but he
could not be found. s-.-

Dick. Col. Sartoris at once jumps to
than the Dick before him, and with
ardor receives him in the role of SAL
ly's fance.
Imagine the situation. The young
people are given no chance to ex-
plain, the father is all smiles and
scomplacence, and wants to tell ev-
erybody at o.lce. They bind him to
secrecy, and agree together to pre-
tend an engagement until someone
can be found to take Dicks place.
The pretending grows very inter

pretty and clever, and all the time we
know each is in love with the other.
They talk of the carpets they will
buy, the coal scuttles, the kind of
windows they will have, and all the
time they pretend to be looking out
for the other fellow. Presently, ON
the night Of Flo's wedding, very soon
after the ceremony, the play at love-
making and domestic preparations Isl
interrupted in tragic manner, and
thereafter the atmosphere is murky
for considerable time. Joseph Pin

and demands an interview with the
bridegroom. Arnold and Arbuthnot,
who up to this time had suspected
nothing of the formers relations
with Mary Primer, receive him in a
room apart from the guests.

He began to eat it as an epicurc

mouthful and noticed that something
hard slipped down his throat, he at
tributed it to seed in the jam

But when after the second mouth
full he began to experience q queer

There, reposing on beds Of jam,
were many tiny china dolls, and it
was two of these that he had swal-

In the first scene we see the secre-
tary at her typewriter, a meek, sad
faced little thing. We learn that she
and Arnold have had some sweet
hearting in the past, but that, to-
morrow being his wedding day, all
that must end. Arnold extracts a
solemn promise from Mary that she
will never disclose anything concern
ing their past intimacy. Richard,
Florence and Sally, too take part in
the first scene, and talk of the com
ing wedding as folk do when such an
event is imminent. Richard is pre-
pairing for the bachelor supper, and
in the intervals of preparation lis
tens to condolences from Sally, a
cousin and lifelong friend Of his.
1t seems that Miss Sally has reached
the advanced age of 2S,. and that her
father is getting very anxious to have
her married off, has sworn If she
passes another season without be-
coming engaged he will cut her off
with a. paltry sum. In desperation
she has written him that she is en-
gagged, and now he is Fastening to join
her and meet her betrothed. What is
she to do? She turns to Richard for
advice.
He promises to help her obtain a
victim before the fatal day in June
that has been set by the impatient
father as the limit, and they chatter
awhile as to what name to call the
imaginary betrothed when her father
shall appear on the scene and ask for
his prospective son-in-law. He looks
through a memorandum book at a
list of acquaintance, and they de-
eide that none of them exactly suits.
After considerable funning he sug-
gests that Mrs. Richard Turpin
sounds pretty well, and they agree
on that. At this moment enters the
father, eager for word concerning
the to-be bridegroom. Not having
time for second thought, Arbuthnot
tells him the name of the man is

among his friends family which re-

silence to the discussions of the

after Prof. Heilprin's return from
Martinique he called at the house.
During the visit, his hostess, leaving
the room suddenly, found the ancient

The Rnr Breaker

I'm - years old, goin' on 49,
taid the boy to the boss of the
breaker. He didn't look more than
ten and he was only nine, but the
law said he must be II to get job.
He was one of multitude of the
16,0l10 youngsters Of the mines, who,
because miners families are large
and their pay comparatively small,
start in the breaker before many
boys have passed their primary
schooling. From the time he enters
the breaker there is rule OF prog
ress that is almost always followed.
Once miner and twice breaker
boy, the upward growth Of boy to
man, brealSer-boy to miner, the de-
scent from manhood to old age, from
miner to breaker-boy; that is the
rule. So the nine-year-old boy who
is "12, goin' on 49,. starts in the
breaker.-World's Work.
