lack SIatterfield in Fowler last
Friday on a warrant sworn out by
James Brown, who charges him
with being implicated in the sheep
robbery and blowing up Of the
sheep camp that occurred near
Fowler last week. The sheep
camp was blown up with dynamite
and over two thousand head Of
sheep run off. When pursued by
a party of Ianchmen, however,
the robbers deserted the sheep and
escaped. This is the first arrest
that has been made. Slatterfeld
was taken to Rocky Ford and re-
released on $500 bonds. His pre-
liminary will take place in Pueblo
soon. the crime having been com
mitted in that county.
SlatterfieId is well known in the
vicinity OF Fowler, where he has
lived for nine years. He is in
terested in cattle raising in small
way and has claim located near
the Brown sheep ranch. He bears
a good reputation among his
ne'shbors and his arrest comes as
a great surprise to all.
Ii is reported that there are three
other warrants in the hands of the
officers, but the strictest secrecy
is being aintained in regard to
the names of the men wanted.
Mr.. Brown has made the state
mcnt, however, and when the ar
rests are made there will be some
some more surprises.

SUNDAY CLOSING LAW
PRONOUNCED DEAD
Senate and House Commit
tees Reach Conclusion.
Plan Contemplated Did Not Bar Drug
Stores, Dairies, Etc, From
DsiEg Business.

The Sunday closing law for the Dis
trict is dead. The committees and mem
bers OF both houses OF Congress inter
csted in the matte. have come to the
conclusion informally that 1t shall be
dropped for the present session at least.
1t Is said that there was originally a
favorable sentiment toward more
stringent law on the subject for the ben
EFT OF the retail grocers. butchers. and
other neighborhood shopkeepers.
The idea was that such places could
be closed without much IL any injury
to the community, and that the greater
number of them would prefer to close,
Il closing we're made obligatory. so that
they should not be adversely affected In
financial way by the competition of
places that remained open.
1t was never intended that milk or
Ice or drug places or shops that con-
tribute to make Sunday a day Of rest
and recreation should be prohibited
from remaining open.
A member Of the Senate District Com
mittee said yesterday: The asita-
tion of the extreme Sunday closing ad-
vocates killed the measure. undoubt-
edly. AS long as the advocates Of the
bill made the plea Of furnishing gen.
eral day Of rest, by moderate lesisla-
tion. they met with little opposition.
But the sentiment Of many influential
members Of Congress is strongly against
considering the question from the reli-
sious point of view. chiefly. and when
the ministers began to take the relig-
ious ground sentiment changed"

his company to scrv, with it until Sep

later record of him has been found.
While the records of the Eleventh
Tennessee Cavalry are incomplete and
1t Is impossible to ascertain from them
whether Gallien was formally mustered
into the service as 4 member OF 1t or
not. they show conclusively that he was
actually made a soldier in the regiment
by being placed on duty in it. and by
being clothed and paid by the Unite1
States as a soldier.
"In an affidavit submitted by Gallien.
1t Is declared that he never received any
money during his service as a member
OF the Eleventh Tennessee Cavalry. A pay
roll on file shows that on May 13. 1864.
at Camp Chase, Ohio, Gallien received

Caused Universal Sorrow.
The death Of Mr.. Marean caused uni
versal sorrow, not only to a host Of
friends. but to a large circle of busi-
ness associates He was widely known.
and numbered among his friends men Of
both local and national reputation.
Mr.. Marean stood foremost among
telegraphers in the United States. Born
and educated at Montrose. Pa, he
evinced interest In electricity at an
early age: so that It was not surpris-
ing when he turned his attention to sc-
quiring a knowledge Of telegraphy while
yet In his native town. At Montrose he
learned the rudiments Of the business,
and later acquired experience as an
operator in the service of the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western Railroad. In
the fall of 1868 he entered the service of
the Western Union Company, and short
ly afterward came to Washington. where
his unusual ability as an operator soon
attracted general attention.
Promoted on Merit.
It was not long before Mr.. Marean's
ability was recognized by his chief, and
he was promoted time and again, as
his superiority became more and more
apparent. As years went by. openings
in the higher grade OF the local service
were awarded him. until about twenty
years ago he was appointed manager Of
the Washington office. The distinction
won by Mr.. Marean in acquiring control
of the business OF the company in
Washington served to bring him promi-
nentIy before the public.
The matter OF the successor to Mr..
Marean. as local manager of the West
ern Union. has not yet been determined
upon by company officials. 1t will be
several days before the subject is con-
sidered.

Persian Mystic.

The Babists of Washington. believers
in Abbas Effenda, the Persian mystic
who claims to be the Messiah in the
flesh, are looking forward with cxpec-
fancy to a visit from Mira Abdul
Fazle in the near future. Mira Abdul
Fazle, who is known as the Persian
prophet" OF Babism, has made many

more are the American strongholds Of
Babism.
Meetings in Secret.
For many months Mira Abdul Fazle
has held meetings in this city at in
tervals without the fact Or the place of
meeting having become matters OF pub

held here in April. in the private resi-
dence OF one Of the Capitals most aris-

Abbns Effenda, or "Bclu Ullah," as ne
Is sometimes called. who is now alive

and Australia have become followers of
the prophet whom they believe to be
sent to gather and reunite the child
