CONFESSIONS OF
AMATEUR HoLD-UPss


The Herald was in possession of in
formation last Friday that at least one
friend of young Howe would secure
his confession that he was shot in the
attempt made by three masked per
sons to hold up and rob |. z. Anderson
a few nights ago. but was requested
to say nothing until he had confessed,
as other parties had to be apprehended
and arrested. 1t is probable that the
facts of the confession need not have
been held from The Herald of Satur-
day afternoon. but II IL was necessary
in order to secure Sloan and Nichols,
good purpose has been served. as
both men are behind the bars at the
county jail awaiting a hearing on the
charge of attempting to rob Mr. AM
derson
Young Howe shot almost to death.
his life hanging by slender cord,
could not well restrain himself from
confession His statements implicate
Frank Sloan and Joe Nichols. and
make it appear that Sloan planned the
attempted crime, coaxing, bantering
and bulldozing the other two into it.
Howe says he could have shot Ander-
son before he was shot himself, but
that he was willing to take a long
chance to avoid hurting the intended
victim. When he was shot the other
two ran away but Nichols returned to
help him home. Nichols In his state
ment. says that the statement of
Howe is true; that after he took Howe
to Animas City, he brought the hat of
Sloan to him, meeting him at the
junction creek bridge.
Sloan has made no statement. 1t
appears that he was the starter and

yawniug wearily for his arrival. A
visitor to the county Jail yesterday
heard Sloan, after he had read the
published confessions of the other two,
say that he would prove by fifty or
one hundred people that he could not
have been near the scene of the at
tempted hold-up at the hour when the
attempt was made, but things look
bad for Sloan.
Neighbors of young Howe express
great surprise that he would engage
in such work, and in his statement he
says he tried to talk Sloan out of Il
and that when he started to leave the
other two, Sloan called him coward.
He was weak, faltered, and fell un-
der the influence of Sloan. Nichols
said that he did not care to return to
the penitentiary. and that he hesitated,
but he did not wait long enough to
keep out of 1t.

The woman who had several Angora
goats killed by cattlemen near Grand
Junction few days ago, has hired an
army of fighters to resist further at
tacks. and the Denver papers an,
nounce that the cattlemen are deter.
mined to drive her goats away from
the range they claim or kill the bal
ance of them. The stock industries OF
Colorado should find a more peacea
BILE and safer basis for their conduct
than is presented in reign of terror
occasionally here and there through
out the state.
1t is not matter of surprise that

Herald predicted several years ago
that the time would come when the
La Plata district would become the
chief mining attraction of Colorado
and today it is chief in America. The
conditions with which the district is
contending at present are only tempo
rary and during the fall and winter
1t will be found to be the busiest
scene of mining action in the west.

sLoAN's ENVIRONMENTS.

Frank Sloan, who with Joe Nichols
lies in Jail charged with attempting to
hold up and rob l. p Anderson, prob.
| ably has been the architect of his en-
vironments. What his surroundings
have been and whatever were the in
fluences attending his earlier life be
| fore coming to Durango. he has chosen
the companionship of those abandon
| ed to the nobler walks of life.
Sloan had worked about some of the
games for wages at times, but was not
regularly employed. If he were bent
on making gambling profession he
might have succeeded better else
where. But failing to draw regularly
the gaming wage of five or six dollars
day. he was confronted with the
proposition of going to work at some.
thing else or do some rough gam
bling"
Sloan has a girl wife and baby for
whom he Is said to have amnifested
the ordinary affection of husband and
father In his present predicament
his future does not promise well for
them.
II has been said that among Sloan's
associates there are others who only
lack the nerve to lead or engage in
crimes like that which he is charged
with planning and trying to execute a
few nights ago. His acquaintances
say Sloan is above the average of in
telligence found in the class to which
he belonged His environments prob
ably were not OF the character that
shape the lives of the higher or more
respectable" class of criminals who
would not hesitate to rob or defraud
by other methods not so harsh or
raw" as the hold-up business He
was willing to take "long shot" and
risk his life to make quick money, but
the sharp report OF six-shooler and
the smell of gunpowder ratified his
nerve and he beat hasty retreat. 1t
was not easy money" which |. p. An
derson was carrying home that night.
Anderson had reckoned on the posi-.
blli,ies and he had his gun ready for
emergencies. Bang" and the blood
OF Howe was streaming to his shoe
tops. When he was taken home his
pantaloons and shoes were matted
with blood and the flow was not check.
ed for several hours Sloan was not
hurt, He who fights and runs away
lives to fight another day
Sloan's alleged connection with the
attempted hold-up recalls for discus
sion his career in Durango and leads
to speculation regarding the policy OF
the city to keep down the expenses
of the police department 1t has been
conceded generally for some time that
one man in the day time is not suffi.
cient to properly police city so large
and unwieldy as Durango Had An
dersoD been shot instead OF one of the
hold-ups, it would be easier to urge
that the city had sufficient number
of men to have districted closely
enough to have covered the locality
where the attempt was made and
there would have been less chance
| for the occurrence. One man at night
can effectually cover about three
blocks in the heart of the city where
he Is most likely to be needed to quel
the ordinary disturbances and misde
meanors.
Sloan's situation directs attention
to number of people who have beer
his associates In comparative idleness
and subjects them to more careful
watching by the authorities.
