COUNTESS LOSES DIAMONDS
Jewels Valued at Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars Are Stolen.
ROBBERY TAKES PLACE ON A TRAIN
Articles Packed i'm Dress Basket with
other Things, but How Thief
Managed to Secure Them
Remains Mystery.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Another big jewelry
robbery on trains between Paris and Lon
don has upset society.
The Countess of Carnarvon was robbed
OF about 5000 worth of jewelry, while
on the way from Paris to London on Sun
day So far no trace Of the thieves has
been found.
Lord and Lady Carnarvon left the Hotel
Ritz on Sunday morning and proceeded to
the Care du Nord. The lady's jewels were
in a small green tray, packed in a dress
basket, which was strapped and locked
With her luggage it was duly registered
and handed over to the railway authorities
The earl and countess arrived at Victoria
station about O'Clock in the evening,
thence drove 10 their town house.
It was noticed after the baggage had
been taken indoors that the dress Laske;
was unlocked. 1t was opened and the jew
elry sought for, but the thieves had
cleaned 1t out, replacing the tray and clos
ing the dressing case.
Although the robber had time TO do all
this, he does not seem to have taken the
trouble to rummage further into the bas-
ket, for some other jewels which had been
packed at the bottom we're undisturbed.
The articles stolen consisted OF twelve
rings, eight gold bangles, ten brooches,
two lady's watches. several charms and
other trinkets, which were all set with
diamonds and other precious stones.

OUT OF JAIL ON A FURLoUGH
Imprisoned Man in Allowed by Judge
TO Spend Holidays with
His Family.

MARYVILLE, Mo-. Dec. 23.-(Speclal) y
Judge Thomas c. hewitt, one Of the St.
Claire county judges in Jail here, serving
a sentence from the federal court, will
spend Christmas at home with his family.
telegram was received from Judge Phil
ips last night giving him permission to
go home for the holidays. He left Mary
vile this morning and will not return to
prison for two weeks.
Judge Nevitt pledged his wcrd that he
would not hold court IL allowed to go
home during the holidays, and upon this
promise he was released. There is a pos
sibility that the former presiding judge
OF st. Claire county will be released from
federal prison under the injunction that
he does not hold court again. He is now
serving a three years sentence and has
only been in prison about thirteen months.
The case of the St. Claire county judges
is familiar to the people throughout Mis-
souri, and adjoining states-in fact, it has
attracted the attention Of the entire west.
For years the county judges OF St. Claire
county have served out their terms OF ofice
in Jail because they refuse to levy a tax
to pay a judgment secured against the
county in the federal courts. The judg-
ment was on bonds issued to aid railroad
which was never built, though the bonds
were issued and were in the hands OF in
nocent purchasers when suit was brought
on them. The payment of the judgment is
resisted both because it would practically
bankrupt the county and because the peo-
pie believe It to be unjust. The county
judges in Missouri make the tax levy and
consequently election to that office in st.
Claire county practically means electing a
man to a term in Jail.

FIGHT FOR LIFE OF IOWA BOY
Sentenced to BE shot at salt Lake
on Conviction of Numbering
Waterman.

SIOUX CITY. Ia. Dec. 23.-(special Tel
egram. )-Sentenced 70 death because OF a
confession alleged to have been wrung
from him through improper means when
his mind was disordered and because the
court and jury which tried him was COM
posed entirely OF Mormons, Nathan Ha-
worth, an Iowa boy. whose parents, Mr..
aud Mrs. J. r. Haworth, live at Fort Dodge,
will spend Christmas in a felon's cell in
Salt Lake City. Unless the efforts OF his
aged parents, who have impoverished
themselves in the struggle, aided by their
attorney, should avail. Haworth will be
shot January 16 the strange form OF ex-
ecution having been selected by himself.
Nathan Havorth was arrested three
years ago, charged with the murder OF
Thomas Sandal, an aged night watehman
and Mormon. at Layton. Utah. large
reward was offered for the arrest and con-
vietion OF the perpetrator. Haworth was
arrested and convicted. Now II is claimed
the defense has new evidence which will
show that the confession given by Haworth
was improperly obtained by sherif Abbott
and will bring forward the evidence OF
three Of his prison guards to show that his
mind is unbalanced. Their case seems TO
be a strong one.

company about seining Lake Manawa for
the purpose OF exterminatng, as far as
possible, the carp and other FISH which
prey upon the game fish recently placed in
the lake by the government.
Mr. Lincoln stated he was not desirous
OF antagopiIing the motor company in the
matter, although he was OF the opinion
that Il would be beneficial both for the
game Ash and those anglers who INDUCED
In legitimate sport TO get rid Of the carp
and other species Of fish which preyed
upon and destroyed the game FISH. The
seinlng he said ought to be done before
the spawning season, which is in early
spring. He said he had no fear about the
fishermen failing to discriminate between
the game and other fish, as the work Of
selning. as required by law, would have to
be done under the personal supervision Of
a deputy warden, who would be required
to be on the spot all the time the seining
was In progress Mr.. Lincoln, before leav-
ing for home. stated he would take the
matter under advsement, and that It
would be several days before he would
decide what course he would pursue in
face OF the Injunction proceedings brought
by President Wells OF the motor company,
but he was OF the opinion that the matter
would be amicably settled.
Regarding Constable Magulre OF Ma

who has now filed informations against
certain Omaha sportsmen for hunting in
this state without a license, State Warden
Lincoln said that up to about August last
Mcguire had been a deputy under him.
but that he had been obliged to let him
out, owing to charges which had been
brought against the man in Cedar Rapids.
Mcguire, he said, was now evidently act
ing on his own authority. Mcguire, Mr..
Lincoln stated, had left Cedar Rapids sud
denly after his arrest and had failed to
