watch was stationed and nothing came
of it. On the afternoon Of the eighth
day, while the men were all in the
covers shooting and the women scat
tered about the house, and while Lady
Gray was lying down in her room for
a brief nap, her whole outfit of jew
elry was taken as if by invisible hands
Every male guest was in the field with

count for his or her time to a second
Lady Gray's door was locked, and the
jewels had been taken by some one
finding entrance at the open window.
A gardener had been engaged all the
afternoon trimming a rosebush that
grew under that window and part Of
the time he had used a ladder He de-
clared that he had not left his work
for a moment. He was searched and
questioned, but even the cbagrined and
indignant McNulty believed in his in
nocence Inquiries cautiously made in
regard to Charlie Davids brought out
the fact that he was a mile away at

haul amounted to about 100000 and

been there year or more when he
and McNulty met on the street one
day. The detective was invited to have
a smoke and a drink and as they sat
in Davids' luxurious quarters the baf-

is quite clear to me. In the first place.
the thief, whoever he was, spotted you
in spite of your disguise Then he got
on to the other two. Then he saw that
things had been made too easy. He
waited till all the men were in the
field, and then, although he was not
missed, he slipped aside, donned the
dress of a gardener and made for the
house. He reached it as the man at
work on the rosebush went to the barn
for a moment to drink with the coach
man. The man was not absent for
five minutes, but he lied about it. In
that five minutes the thief assembled
to the room, got the box of jewels and
descended and made off, and he was
lucky enough to don his own dress, Sc
cure the box and rejoin the hunt with

attend some folks, you know"

Pueblo. Colo, Oct 31-Every effort

southern Colorado is being directed
toward experimenting persons who
wrecked the Santa Fe flyer at Apishapa
bridge early Friday morning and risked
killing $50 passengers for the purpose
of robbery Two arrests have been
made. and more are promised.
One of the suspects was caught near
Fowler. three miles this side of the
wreck He had the appearance of a
tramp. He refuses to give his name.
but says he had been working on the
streets in Trinidad until a few days
ago. He is about 40 years old.
About the same moment that a tele-
gram was received by the chief of po-
lice in Pueblo to arrest a man having
in his possession three pairs of trous-
ers an arrest was made by the local
police of a man who gave his name as
John Duffy. He was in a local tailor
shop pricing trousers, and it was no.
ticed as he left that he had a package
under his arm. When an attempt was
made to detain him he struck the pro-
prietor and ran. He was later cap
tured. but man who ACCOMPANIED
him ESCAPED. The trousers are said to
have been stolen at the wreck
But for the accident of a, hot box on
the express car, a large amount of
money would have been in the safe on
the wrecked train, and this it is be-
lieved was the plunder the desperadoes
hoped to secure. Valises were rifed by
the robbers during the excitement fol-
lowing the wreck.
The express car in which, according
to report. the money was being trans
ported, was left in Colorado Springs for
a later train.

WHOSE SON lSHE?
John Murray DOwie Brands
Elijah's Statement as False.
Insists That Restorer Is His
Own Boy.

Essex. Ia. Oct. 31.-John Murray
Dowie, crushed by the attack made
upon him by his son. John Alexander
Dowie, says:
THE statement that I am not the
father of John Alexander Dowie is the
greatest myth that ever was uttered
by the mouth of man. 1t is scandalous
that my son should repudiate me after
l have done SO much for him. He is
my son and was born in lawful we'd
lock. No one can deny it. The records
may be had at the great register offices,
Princeton street, Edinburgh, Scotland.
I have always lived a quiet, peaceable
Christian life and it breaks my heart
to have this trouble come toward the
end"
The resemblance between John Muir
ray Dowie and John Alexander Dowie
is so close that the father has often
been taken for the son.
