chung to him. His persistency in living
apart from his chosen people enforced
them to always speak of him as lei
Solitario."
He would visit among them to solace
and nurse the sick and give absolution
to the dying, but he would never break
bread within their hospitable doors,
preferring and insisting always upon
crust and cup Of cold water outside.
Nor would he sleep upon the soft
wooden colchons which even the poor
est of New Mexican homes afford, but,
absorbed by devout thoughts, wrapped
himself in his coarse blanket and laid
himself on the bare ground or in some
clubhouse with the sheep and goats.
This, Of course, was part Of his self
imposed penance, from which he never
deviated, rigorous as 1t was.
One day after his familiar and be-
loved face had been missed for some
time by his devotees sorrowful party
went out to seek him. They found him
dead in his cave, his beads infolded in
his delicately shaped fingers and his
countenance wearing saintlike ex-
preston. A poisoned dagger IN his
heart by the hand of an assassin had
accomplished the foul deed, which for
a whole lifetime, during every moment
Of the unhappy mans active and
dreaming hours, was continually dis
turbing anticipation.
Thus passed away, as he had pre-
dicted in his youth, the eccentric but
holy Matteo Boccalini, hermit priest
and the eel Solitario" Of the New Mex
leo mountains, man Of sorrow and
grief, yet with as much repentance and
as many penances as sins, one of those
ethereal beings who might become
physically unclean, but never spiritual
ly impure.
4 For years after his departure from
Council Grove the hermit priests cave
was an object Of much interest. Until
i within very short period, when the
quarrymen tore down its last vestige,
upon its time worn walls could be uac.
ed, rudely carved, his name, Matted
Boccalini, cross, "Jesu," Maria" and
Capri" all so dear to the lonely and
sad mans heart.

There is policemen's college in st.
Petersburg to train applicants for the
force. There Is museum combined
with the school where the pupils make
themselves familiar with the tools Of
criminals-jimmies, drills, chisels and
contriyances for robbing collection
boxes, special field Of Russian
thieves. The Russian passport system
is studied in detail. The duties of the
dvorniks, a sort of assistant police, are
taught. They keep watch on the resi-

their visitors, examine the papers Of
newcomers and direct them to report
themselves at the police station. The
members of such clever and compli-
Gated system need careful instruction.

Last Monday Night.
GOODS LOADED into WAGON.
Thieves Got Away but Some.
thing May Be Known Re.
garding Their Identity.

The store of G. F. Trager at Buckllr
was broken into and robbed by unknown
parties on last Monday night. The en-
Aance was forced through a back win
dow. Goods to tle amount Of between
$l00 and 5000 were taken. So far. as
learned there Is no clue to The identity Of
the thleyes.
1t is believed that the goods were load
ed into wagon and hauled out Of town.
A peculiar feature of the robbery Is
that the jewelry stock owned by Mr..
Lukens in the same room, was not touched,
Tee stock taken consisted Of shoes, hats,
gloves, blankets, pocket knives, neckties
and handkerchiefs. OF the shoes and
hats a large number was taken.
Sheriff Joe Miller received word of the
affair on Tuesday morning and went to
Bucklin at once. He returned home
Wednesday. Whatever he learned there
regarding the identity or suspected iden-
tity of the robbers he is keeping quiet for
the present. but 1t is understood that the
matter is being investigated, and that ii
is possible that the guilty parties will be
found.

If you were never held up by the

with some claim hunters to Gray and
Finney counties. He reached Dodge
City just as the deputy sheriff and mar
shall were on the lookout for the Bucklin
robbers. The officers felt that they
ought to know what Was In Mr.. Newby's
wagon and gently hlnted as much to
him. Mr.. Newly didn't like the husi-
ness any too well but gave permission to
the officers to seorch bis wagon. This
was done and the matter was soou oyer
with, as The officers found they had
stopped the wrong wagon. The longer

Father in Self Defensd.
Judge Madison returned this week
from Meade county where the murder
case against Don Edwards was tried be-
fore him. Edwards killed his father up
en- learning that his sister had been
criminally assaulted by him.
1t was hard matter to get a jury on
the case. Public sentiment was strongly
for the son and as the two brothers who
were charged with the killing were the
only witnesses, tho defense was enabled
to establish a case of self defense. The
jury found the defendant not guilty Of
murder as charged.
The other son who was present at tile
time Of the killing will not be tried.
