E. E. Springer has one of the strong
est wells in this part of the country.
1t was dug only a few days ago, on the
TORY place, and was so strong that an
embankment had to be thrown up to
keep the water. If you don't believe
US, ask Springer about it. 1t is no
doubt as strong a we'll as there is in

Mrs. r. III. Sweet returned from
Chicago Saturday, where she had been
in a hosgital for nearly two months.
1t would seem that Mrs. Sweet has
more than her share of sickness.
Hardly had she recovered from the
troubles of last summer when other
complications set in and again it be-
came necessary for further treatment.
However, it is hoped that now she has
fully regained1her good health.
William Edwards was here Saturday
from Pretty Prairie. Years ago this
was his home but he moved away. He
has not been in Charter Oak for sever
al years. but was we'll pleased with the
appearance of the place. He made the
same statement to us that we have so
often made to the world-that Charter
Oak is far ahead of most towns that
you see.
Mr.. Edwards was one of the first set
tiers in this valley, taking as claim
in 1877 the farm now owned by Carl
Rademecher. Here he remained until
1885, when he moAed away. While
here last week he was the guest of j

A CALIFORNIA FAKE.
Failed in TIE O'Keefe and Britt
Fight.

San Francisco. Calf, July S1.-Of the
many tricks that fighters have per-
petrated on the San Francisco public,
none was more bold than that resorted
to by the O'Keefe crowd in their en-
dcavor to secure the decision and the
long end of the purse in that fighters
contest with Jimmy Britt. which was
scheduled to take place at the Me-
chanics pavilion tonight. @ :>eefe's
plan was simply to go into the ring
with the California champion many
pounds over weight.
He was willing to forfeit his weight
money in order to get into the ring
with Britt and by sheer weight wear
the Californian down and eventually
knock him out or secure the decision
through the award of the referee.
When the weighing in took place this
evening it was found that O'Keefe was
so much overweight that Britt refused
to go on with him.

THE MILLER INCIDENT
President Proctor in Consultation
With President Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, Long Island, July ST.
John r. Proctor of the civil service
commission and Mrs. Proctor were
guests of president and Mrs. Roose-
welt a part of today. The president
considered with Mr.. Proctor the case
of VIM. Miller. who recently was re-
instated in the government printing
office at Washington. as foreman il
the bindery by order of President
Roosevelt.
The case, SO far as the civil service
commission is concerned, is a closed in
cident but Mr.. Proctor is familiar with
the details of the matter since the re-
instatement of Miller. The charges
filed against Miller by the bookbinders
union which expelled him from mem
bership will be Investigated in due
course of time. but the indications are
that their consideration will not be
hurried.
The president, it can be said, is in
terested in the case, but beyond his
published letters to Secretary Cortelyou
he has made no public expression con-
corning it. He is thoroughly Informed
on the case, however. and is cognizan
of the charges filed by the unior
against Miller. The announcement o.
the decision of the authorities as to the
charges probably will be made by Pubic
Printer Palmer when a decision shall
have been reached.

cry rumor was investigated and even
when all trace of the murderers had
been lost Sheriff Roberts kept up the
search.
He had guarded every passage out OF
t he territory and it was this precau-
ton that finally led to the capture of
the murderers. They had passed
through Phoenix; that much was
known and it was surmised that they
would take refuge in Mexico.
Early in May they We're located at
Naco on the Mexican side by Billy
Blankenship who enticed them across
the line and arrested them. Their man
ner was suspicious and the officers
were certain that if they were not the
Goddard murderers they were wanted
for some crime in the territory. They
told conflicting stories but admitted
that they had been in the neighborhood
of Prescott at the time of the killing.
This opened the gate for further evil
dence against them. They had ad-
mitted working in railroad camp but
according to their story of the time of
their leaving the camp they could no;
have reached Goddard station in time
to commit the murder 1t was shown
though that they had left the camp a
day earlier.
When they were taken to Prescott
the Mexican, Hernandez, was sent for.
He did not know why he was wanted.
He was taken into a room where the
prisoners were, with several other men
He recognized them at the first glance.
The Identification was positive.

THE FOLSOM CONVICTS
Seem to Have Entirely Distanced
Their Pursuers.

Placerville, Calf, July 3i.-Twelve of
the desperate convicts who escaped
from the Folsom penitentiary are still
at large and today's developments in
dicate that the pursuing officers have
become weary of their fruitless search.
Following false clews through a rough
country under a hot sun has exhaust
ed both civilians and militia.
Late today Governor Pdrdee issued
an order withdrawing the Placerville
company of the national guards from
the chase and reports have been re-
ceived that many members of the
sheriff's posses are returning to their
homes. All trace of the outlaws ap-
pears to have been lost and the pros
poets of their capture are more remote
than ever.

the Phoenix Jail on their way to Pres.
cott they were twice confronted by
the widow of Goddard. She was not
positive in her identification the first
time, but the second time she believed
they were the murderers. When she
next saw them in Prescott, dressed as
they were on the night of the slaughter.
she was sure of it.
There was a great deal of other evil
dence. wholly circumstantial which left
no reasonable doubt that they were the
murderers of Goddard and Cox. 1t is
believed that in the taking off of these
men a scOurge las been removed.
They are undoubtedly the two men who
have committed a series of murders
between the Weaver district and the
northern part of this county within tne
last six years. The last was the killing
of the two station keepers at New
River about two years ago

A COLLISION AT NACO
In Which Supt. Sroufe and Wife snd
Col. Epes Randolph Were Injured

Tucson. July 81. (Special)-A train
from the Cananea today ran into the
special car of Superintendent Sroufe
which was standing on thu Mexican
side of the line at Naco today. The
occupants of the car were Superintend-
ent Sroufe, his wife. General Manager
M'Farland of the Colorado & Arizona
railroad. Col. Epes Randolph OF the
Huntington lines of southern California
and Senator Eugene S. Ives
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Sroufe were badly
but not seriously cut and Col. Randolph
suffered some injury as did also Mr..
M'Farland but none of them were seri-
Gus. The car was not badly damaged
The engineer of the Cananea train
hurried across the line to avoid arrest
in Mexico. The responsibility for the
accident was not fixed by the informa-
ton from Naco.

shots of the second volley had gone
through the back of his chair
The murdererS uncertain regarding
the effectiveness of the second shots
ran out of the house to await develop
ments. When the firing began the
sheep herder, Hernandez, was sitting
on a bench outside the station. Be
lieving that the murderers would in
clude him in a general slaughter he
| fled and was not located for several
days.
The murderers fingered about the
station most of the rest of the night.
They reloaded their revolvers in front
of the store and they could be heard
prowl;ng about and their forms could
! be dimly seen. The survivors were so
terror stricken that they thought only
of defense. The murderers went away
early in the morning.
| Ii was not known that Cox had been
killed. 1t was thought he had escaped
and gone after help. But the morning
light disclosed him lying with his face
upon the table. The inmates Of the
station were too frightened to venture
out and alarm the neighborhood other
wise a quick pursuit could have been
organized. About Q o'clock in the
morning man by the name of Garrett
came to the store and learned of the
slaughter. He spread the alarm but it
was not until that night that the pur-
suit began to be arranged.
| Goddard lived until nearly daylight.
He was in possession of his mental
| faculties and told his wife that the
! Scared faced Mexican had shot him.
At the beginning that was practically
all the clue the officers had to work on.
The rest of the inmates of the station
had been SO badly scared that they
could give no description OF the mur-
derers or at any rate no description
! that was of value to the authorities.
| Two men supposed to be the mur-
derers had been seen in the neighbor-
hood before and after the killing and a
fairly good description was obtained.
| The officers cid not get on the ground
until early on the second morning after
the killing and then the most energetic
chase was begun continuing for almost
four months. Sheriff Roberts was on
the road night and day. He had secur-
who gave an accurate description of the
murderers and he said he would know
| them Various suspects answering the
| description in q general way were
taken before him, but he instantly said
that they were not the men The
sheriff kept up the hunt greatly assist
ed by Sheriff Cook of this county. Ev-

While the sheriff was hunting for the
murderers he was also collecting evil
dence and when they were finally
brought to trial they found them
selves involved in net from which
there was no escape.
They were promptly convicted within
little more than a month from the
time they were captured on the MeXi-
can line. The evidence against them
was so overwhelming that an invoca-
ton of the laws delays was hopeless
and no effort was made to take the
case to the supreme court. The prison.
erS themselves did not demand an ap-
peal. and today was fixed by the court
for their execution.
They had betrayed little interest in
their fate from the beginning. Beyond
the formal plea of mot guilty" they
had never denied the commission of the
crime and after their conviction d con-
fession was daily expected. 1t was
never made unless it was included in
their last utterances to the priest who
ministered to them.
But toward all. beside the priest.
they preserved an insouicance which
gave little prospect of a weakening on
the scaffold and their hardihood was
kept up to the last. Their last night

SpeclaI TO IlneS-hepuDllcan.
Grinnell, Nov. Saturday afternoon
Grinnell and Ames meet on Ward field
and whichever team comes off victor
should be conceded the better-barring
flukes. The air is electrical with en-
thusiasn1, big mass meeting is to be
held this afternoon and Ames will come
down In force to root for their heavy
eleven. Coach Ristine has plenty of
material and moreover has practically
the same team as last year, but even
then, it is believed. here, that Ames
must play good ball to win from the
scarlet and black. Grinnell has not the
same light and weak team as last year,
altho they will be terribly outweighed
but not so much as last year
With a team weaker than this years
scrubs, Ames had hard time to make
a single touchdown last year during the
first half on the team, and that was
partially due to our captains fault.
If the team play as they did with
Iowa. Ames has every chance to win,
but if they play as they have in prac-
tice, Ames Will get a strenuous practice
IL they win or lose.
