He was taken in on the strength of a telegram that man having three pairs of trousers, sup posed to have been stolen from tho wreck, was on his way to Pueblo. Duffy, carrying package, was arrest ed as he left the shop of local tailor. When an attempt was made to detain him he struck the proprietor and ran.

"a Public Highway Leading to Lake Success.

New York, Nov. 1.-After a strug- gle lasting Is months, Wm. K. Van derbilt, Jr., has succeeded in gaining permission to close the public high way leading to Lake Success, on his beautiful Long Island estate, near Hampstead. Failing to purchase the lake, after acquiring his estate in and around that body of water, MT. Vanderbilt asked for the lease of a meeting link between an old road and the waters of the lake. There was nothing of record to show that the board of trustees of North HempsteaJ ever acquired ownership of the dis puted right of way to the lake, save by prescription and use. The idea that MT. Vanderbilt would stock the vate preserves raised much opposi tion.
 Previous to the election a year ago he made an offer of $50,000 to the town for the lake. It was determined to settle the question by the ballot So intense was the feeling that the vote boiled was more than that at tine presidential election, and the offer was rejected. Finally MT. Vanderbilt appeared before the trustees and ap- piled for lease running 99 years, in return for which concession he pro- posed opening road to the lake by another route. His opponents still refused to capitulate, but the matter was put to a vote of a board, and he won.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-Serious electrical disturbances, said to be due to the aurora borealis, or northern lights, caused great inconvenience to tele- graph and telephone companies Sat urday. Telegraph wires in all direc- tions from Chicago felt the effect, in some localities causing an entire ces- sation of business. Long-distance tel ephone wires were similarly affected, communication being entirely sus- pended at times. One report stated that huge waves of electric force passed through the earth, paralyzing the strength of the currents in the wires.
