ALLEGED STAGE Robber.

Spokane. May 5.-Ed. Webb, the
alleged hold-up man and stage rob-
Der, is again a fugitive. In August,
1894, a mail coach was held up and
robbed near Houston, Idaho. One
robber was captured and sent to
prison for a long term. Webb, sup
posed to be his partner, escaped and
could not be found. A few weeks
ago he was discovered in Mexico, ar
rested and plans made to bring him
back to Idaho to be tried for the crime
OF eight years ago. Now the %postofice
authorities have received notice that
Webb has escaped by exchanging
clothes with his brother, who visited
him in the Jail. At latest advices he
is still at large.

Reyes was travelling under the name
OF w. H. Browning, as was shown by
the signature on the railroad ticket
he had and which was bought at Hell

tained from a discharge from the
army that he had i'm his pocketbook

in the Philippines. He had nothing to

AIS, if possible arrive at some man
ner by which the injurious salts in
time may be eliminated, or at least
nullifed as to their effects. The geo
logical conditions obtaining here are
such as cause it to be believed by
those competent to form an opoinion
that alkali will always be present to
a greater or less extent, as it is con-
tanned in the surrounding bluffs, be-
ing n of the components of the
sandstone that forms the rimrock
bounding the valley on the two sides.
AS it is released by the effects of
the elements it finds it's way into
the lowlands and assimilates with the
soil,
To ascertain, if such a thing can
be accomplished, some manner in
which this assimilation may be over
come and the salts freed SO that they
may be carried off or at all events
'a~eutralized is one of the purposes for
which the agricultural department has
undertaken the work now on hand
here. Similar surveys have been
made in a number of the states and
territories where conditions like unto
those prevailing here exist and while
as yet nothing may be said to have
been accomplished in the direction
of finding a cure for the evils that
have to be commended with, the knowl-
edge acquired it is believed will ulti-
prove beneficial to all con-
cerned.

A Livingston dispatch contains the
news that it has been definitely dc.

Yellowstone park branch to Gardiner,
on the very edge of the northern
boundary line of the park. The

pleted in time for the opening of the

having been completed with the own

Herman N. Reyes in Jail Charged
With Looting Hotel at
Health Resort.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Herman M. Reyes. alias w. H.
Browning, is locked up in the county
Jail, awaiting the arrival of the sher-
if of Jefferson county, who holds a
warrant for his arrest on the charge
Of having robbed the Hotey Robbery
of Boulder Hot springs.
The prisoner was arrested shortly
before l o'clock this morning by Dep
uty Sheriff Robbins on a telephone
message received from Springdale
warning him that Reyes was on board
of the %eastbound train. The message
was from Sheriff Benner of Cascade
county, who was on the same train
and had been notified by the Jefferson
county sheriff to look out for the man
and arrest him. For some reason
Benner did not find Keyes and after
getting off at Springdale 'phoned to
the sherih's Office here to search the
train. The message gave an accurate
description of the man md also detail
ed the articles he was supposed to
have on his person that we're part Of
his alleged loot.
Mr.. Robbins waited for the train to
arrive and asking Policeman SAILS
bury to accompany him boarded it
and found the man he was looking for
occupying a berth in one of the slep-
ers. Without waiting to give the other
a change, the deputy covered him with
his revolver and told him he wanted to
talk to him and then threw back the
bedding, after which he made the
prisoner sit up and examined the bed.
He found a 3S-calibre Smith & Wes-
son reolver under the covers and this
he appropriated. Keyes was then or
dered to get up and dress himself and
while he was thus engaged Mr.. Rob
bins carefully searched the bed and
found a pocketbook and a ladies gold
fashioned rope chain, of the kind that
goes about the neck and was much
WORN years ago. In addition he also
found two rings, n containing a
sapphire setting and the other three
stones resembling rubies. The rings
and watch chain correspond in every
particular with the description of the
jewelry given Mr.. Robbins and he
concluded that there could be no mis-
take concerning the prisoner and
took him to Jail.

The Troubles Experienced by a Pros.

Claude D. Smith of Gilt Edge APP
piled for a marriage license last ey-
ening and found himself confronted by
complications that threatened for a
time to be SO serious as to make it
extremely doubtful whether he would
be granted the permit necessary to his
complete happiness.
When asked the usual questions it
developed that the applicant had been
married before and that his wife had
divorced him, and that, too, no longer
ago than two years. Under the law
he was not entitled to a license, as he
was considered the guilty party and
consequently barred from marrying
within three years from the time of
the entry of the judgement ordered
against him. He stated that his form
er wife, who was supposed to wait
two years before r~emarrying, had TAX
en- another husband long before the
statuatory time and considered that
he should have the same right.
The clerk could not see matters in
that light and referred him to the
county attorney. MI. Hathhorn gave
a written opinion that he could see
no reason why the license should moi
be granted, especially as there seems
to be some doubt as to the law, the
original act having been partially re.
pealed and left in such form as to
cause many attorneys to believe it to
be no longer i'm force. 4
When Smith gave the age Of the
prospective bride, Jessie A. Otis, an
other hitch occurred las it turned out
that she was a minor. But he had
prepared himself for this emergency
by producing the written consent Of
the parents of the girl that she should
marry him. The opinion of the county
attorney and the little document from
Father and Mother Otis removed al
barriers and the groom-elect left the
court house treading on air.
