Several months ago Bruce murderer
Victoria Maria by choking her into IN
sensibility and then burying her alive.
He was arrested and his preliminary
examination held in Hesperia, but
while the officers were seated with
their prisoners in the court room the
Indian made successful dash for liD-
ertv. For months the desert has Deen
searched by officials and Indians, TOT
the latter were as anxious as the Tor

captured by the Indians. but that ne
had been put to a horrible death. Tho

FLIGHT OF KELLEY
Mdv Save the Rich Brib8 GiVGrS
From Being Indicted as the
Statute OF Limitation viii
Intervene in 40 Ddys

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 19.-All efforts
to apprehend or bring about the sur
render of Charles F. Kelly, the missing
member of the House of Delegates
who is alleged to have distributed the
$4,000 lighting bribe money, have
been futile. His arrest probably
would mean the exposure of the mill
honaires who put up the money to Sc
cure the lighting contract, for it IS
believed he would turn States evil
dence.
Kelley is alleged to have been the
intermediary between the members Of
the combine and the bribe-givers,
whose names are known only to him.
There are rumors that he has been
offered a small fortune to leave the
city until the expiration of forty days,
when the statute of limitations inter
venes and makes it impossible for in
dictments to be found.
Circuit Attorney Folk has notified
those who are alleged to know where
Kelly is that they will be summoned
before the grand jury and forced to
tell all they know. The general inl=
preston seems to be that Kelley will
give up as soon as arrangements can
be made for his bond.
The complete story of the passage
of the Central Traction bill was first
made known today. The bill granted
a franchise covering nearly every
street in St Louis, and it's passage
was secured by Robert Fl. Snyder a
promoter of New York. He is alleged
to have spent all of $250,000 in the mu-
nicipal assembly.
The bill was once defeated, and then
passed over the mayors veto. It was
not difficult thing to secure a suffi-
cient vote in the House of Delegates
the real difficulty commencing wher
the Council was reached. For votes
$4,000 apiece was paid, and how much
money was spent in other ways wi.
probably never be known.
Finally but one vote was necessary
to secure the two-thirds. A membel
was induced to accept present .
$50,000 and his vote was cast for the
bill. Fearing that some combination
of circumstances might defeat his pur
pose, the promoter, as alleged, sough
to make things doubly sure by buying
the president of the Council. HiE
Eoffer was spurned, but son of tht
president was given $4,000 and toll

After the meeting a banquet was held
and Snyder borrowed the $4,000 he
alleged to have given one of the del
egates. Only $4,000 of 1t ever wa
returned. He sought to secure tn
