Revolyed Around a Shaft.

Judge S. f. Booth, writing from Eli
zabethtown, under date of May 21,
says:
Yesterday, May Goth, Hugh White
man, young man working on the
dredge of the Ora Dredge company,
had a narrow escape from death. He
was aloft oiling the shaft below the
pilot house, when his pants leg was
caught by a setscrew on the collar of
the shaft. He was carried around the
shaft three times, when he caught
hold of a brace, his clothing being
torn off him, and he was liberated
from his dangerous position. He was
terribly bruised about the head, his
shins skinned, but no bones broken
He was insensible when found. He
hallowed for help, but his voice was
drowned by the noise, but was found
soon after the accident. If his cloth
ing had not given way he would sure
ly have been killed. He was taken
home, where he was taken care of and
all done that could possibly be done
for him, and he is now as comfortable
as could be expected under the cir
cumstances.

BILLY" BERRY VERSUS WEATHER MAN.

BILLY" Berry, the enterprising man
ager of the fair grounds, took no
chances with his friend the weather
man yesterday afternoon, for he had
him and the sandy sand beaten to a
standstill. "Billy" just had the water
cart professor do his little act before
the game commenced and that queered
mot Charlie Quier) the wind from
doing it's dirty act. Then again our
friend BILLY" had two nice benches
in place for the players to rest on be
tween the innings-that was another
thoughtful act, too,
The game was witnessed by the lar
gest number of rooters that have jour
neyed to the fair grounds this season
and all were satisfied, for there was
plenty of hits and runs galore.
Seventeen to five was the way the
score stood at the end of the game.
Rhodes twirled for the Browns and
did excellent work, but near the end
was somewhat tuckered and al
lowed the Tigers two or three runs
just for the sake of keeping up theiT
spirits. Young Rhodes, when he gets
hardened down, will be o. X. and with
Wilson at the other end, the battery
will be the best in the territory

Gov, Peabody Honors Rsquisltion
Papers for Return Of Men.
ALLEGED JEWeLRY THIEVES.

James Logan. George Gibson and J..
l.. Lewis carried away almost every
thing of value from the jewelry store
of Samuel Vann and Samuel T. Vann
in Albuquerque, N. NJ, and tried to
peddle the watches and other jewelry
in and near Florence, Colo, according
to the complaint made by the owners
of the store. The governor yesterday
honored a requisition for the three
men, and they will be taken back to
New Mexico for trial.
The men were arrested by the au-
thorities at Florence on descriptions.
They were endeavoring to pawn some
OF the valuables. This aroused sus-
picion. Then a descriptive circular
confirmed the authorities In the belief
that they had the right men. An Of
ficer arrived here Thursday with requi-
sition papers, but was compelled to
wait because the governor was out of
the city.
Jewelry valued at nearly $500 was
lost by the Albuquerque firm. Some
of it was recovered. The store was
forced at night and the burglars had
ample time to make thorough search.
They took advantage OF the opportuni-
ty to take every thing in sight, and
but little remained in the place after
the visit of the marauders.
Three hundred watches was one OF
the items in the inventory of losses
the morning after the burglary. These
are valued at $50 each, making a total
of $4,000 for this item alone. 1t is
charged that watches were offered at
ridiculously low prices in Florence
some time after the robbery. and the
authorities assert that the men they
arrested while selling them had some
in their possession that answered the
description OF those stolen.
Another item of loss was fifty chains
valued at $40 each. Forty charms
and lockets that were stolen were val.
ued at $40 each. The jewellers missed
twenty-five diamonds worth $25 each
