FIRE WAS A BLUFF.
Stock Supposed TO Have Bssn Burned
Had Baen Sold.
CHARGED WITH ARSON.

Dionisio Leandro, who also some
times signs his name as Leandro Dio-
mis-, was bound over to the grand jury
by Judge Crawford this morning on the
charge of arson in the night time The
bond was fixed at $4,000, which he put
up and was released.
Leandro was the proprietor of a
small store at Duranes, about a mile
and half up the river, which was
burned down some time ago. He pur-
chased all of his supplies of Gross,
Kelly & Co. and owed them quite
sum of money. During the latter part
of February he bought a bill of goods
amounting to about $500, for which he
was given credit.
On the night of February 26, the gro
Gerry store of Leandro was burned to
the ground, and the contents OF the
store, with the large stock he had Just
purchased, were supposed to have been
consumed. The circumstances sur.
rounding the fire in the dead of the
night looked somewhat suspicious and
during the past three weeks the matter
was carefully investigated. Finally
the investigations brought about the
information that the larger part of the
stock of the store had been sold before
the store was burned
Yesterday afternoon, Officer Harry
Cooper and Ralph Hunt, of the Gross.
Kelly & Co, set out for San Antonito.
where they had learned the goods had
been taken and disposed of. At the
store of Charles Kemp they found a
large quantity of the goods which were
supposed to have been in the store at
the time of the fire. A number of boxes
of canned tomatoes, sardines, sacks of
beans, rice, coffee, brooms, and other
supplies were identified as the stock
bought by Leandro.
1t has been stated that Leandro owed
the Gross, Kelly & Co. in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000, but how much of the
goods have been recovered is not

SPURIOUS GOLD COIN.
Two Men Arrested for Passing Coun-
terfeit Money.
BEFORE THE GRAND JURY.

Luke Walsh, of the Metropolitan sa
loon, is the possessor of a $40 gold
piece that is light in weight and on
close examination looks bad to the
owner. Two young men, one claiming
to be a pugilist, who have been hang
ing around the city for the past two
weeks, had considerable difficulty in
passing the $40 gold piece, but finally
succeeded, doing the quick vanishing
act, only to be apprehended and locked
up later.
They give their names as Harry b.
Tutwiler and j. Kelly, and give evil
dence of being bum railroad workers.
They entered the White Elephant
last night and after ordering up the
drinks they offered the bogus coin in
payment. The bartender's quick eye
detected the bad parts, and he asked
them to wait a moment and he would
get it changed at the same time start
ing back to the tables.
Never mind" they called after him
eagerly, and told him to bring it back,

handed it back and was given good
money for the booze they had just put
away. What other places they visited
Is not known, but they finally hit the
Metropolitan and bought bottle of
whisky. They handed over the bad
coin again. Mr.. Walsh being busy, did
not look at it closely until after they
had gone, which they did in an awful
hurry. When he did look at it he was
not took in, discovering that it was on
the bum. He reported the matter to
oihcer Knapp, who soon had his men
in jail. They were brought before
Judge Crawford this morning and
bound over to the United States grand
jury. An indictment against them will
probably be returned this week.

known, as the goods were sold to Kemp
on the 23d of last month and he has
been selling out of the stock ever since.
1t is hardly possible that there was
a large stock in the store if Leandro
is guilty of the charge preferred
against him. If the fire was premedi-
tated the valuable goods were undoubt.
edly removed and will be recovered.
officer Cooper and Mr.. Hunt return
ed last night and warrant was imme-
diately sworn out for Leandro's arrest.
He was found at Joe Badaracco's sa-
loon and taken to the city Jail. Since
his store burned he has moved to Bad
aracco's, where his family are living
at present.
Leandro has always borne a good
reputation and was considered an hon
est and worthy man by all with whom
he had ever had any dealings.
The charge is an ugly one and conse-
quently the bond was placed high. This
case will be brought before the terri
torial grand jury this session and if it
comes to trial some startling facts will
be brought to light

CHARGES AGAINST WOOD.
Hathbone, the Cuban DefauIter, Should
Subside

| Washington, March 23.-Secretary
| Root today took official action on the
| charges made by Estes G. Rathbone
against Brigadier General Leonard
Wood. He made an endorsement on the
papers, saying that no answer to the
charges was required from General
Wood and no action will be taken
thereon; that it was known to the sec
retary of war that the charges in ev-
cry respect were without just founda-
tion.
The secretary refers to the part tax
en- by the military governor in the post
Office cases in which Rathbone was a
defendant, saying that General Wood
at every step had the approval OF the
secretary of war and exercised only
such control as was necessary as mill
tary governor
He refers to the game of Jai Alai and
declares that the gift accepted by
General Wood had no relation what
ever to any official action of his. but
was part of the expression of graft
tude of the Cuban people toward the
representative of the United States
and TO have refused the gift would
have been dscouTteous and unjustlfia-

opening of the third annual automobile
show in the Light Guard armory. The

An interesting features of the show
and one not included in the recent
large exhibitions in New York, Chicago
and Boston, is the large display of au,
tomobiles intended for army use. This
includes ammunition wagons, balloon
carriages, ambulances and an automo-
bile battery of rapid fire guns, invented
by a professor of the Northwestern
Military academy at Evanston, ILL., The
exhibition will continue throughout the

for the supplies, but rather was just
storing them away. He seemed to
have had kind of mania to take little
things that would prove of no value to
him whatever, as most all of the goods
carries the railroad brand and conse-
quently he would not have been able
to dispose of the goods. 1t is not
known that he did try to dispose of
any of the stolen goods.
Mares was brought before Judge
Crawford. and waived examination. He
was bound over to the grand jury, and
will undoubtedly be indicted this
week.
Mares who is about 80 years of age,
has a wife and family and comforta-
ble home. He has always borne good
reputation, and those that know him
are greatly surprised that he should
resort to stealing. He states that he
doesn't know why he stole the stuff,
but that he had foolish mania for
taking little things
Mares states that so far as he knows
he is the only one of the native en-
ployes who has been taking stuff from
the warehouse, but the Santa Fe Off
GERS think different. Four more search
warrants were issued by Judge Craw-
ford this morning and systematic
search will be made for the goods that
are missing from the storehouse.
Mares is undoubtedly only one of the
several vino have been collecting sup
plies at odd moments. officer Hub
bell who revealed and brought to light
the stealings of Mares is in possession
of the search warrants and some start
ling discoveries are expected today.

Burlinuton Extension Plan.

Chicago, March 23.-The Burlington
road has about completed arrange
ments for the construction of an ex-
tension from Sioux City, Iowa, to Ash
land, Neb. This link will be 100 miles
long, and will connect the Burlington
and Great Northern at an important
point The line is to run nearly south
from Sioux City, after crossing the
Missouri river at that point, and will
put the northern Hill roads in direct
communication with the southwestern
system of the Burlington. At Ashland
the main line of the Burlington g.
Missouri River road extends to Omaha,
and the Plattsmouth cutoff gives ac-
cess to the branches reaching the Mis-
souri, river at various points all the
way down to Kansas City, and also Sc
cures an outlet to st. Louis. The new
line will have the further effect of
opening by means of connected and
diverging lines the whole of the upper
Mississippi valley to the unimpeded
traffic of the Hill lines.

of the pope was much more FORMAL.
The babel of voices sank at his sp-

The formal salutations having ter

the center was the pontiff in his white

those surrounding him, his silver hair
cleaning under his white cap. He
was surrounded by the cardinals stall
in their violet robes and preceded by
the pontiflcal cross, the jewels of
which flashed as though they also tri-

conclavists and prelates seemed really
Jubilant in their Joy and satisfaction.

Standing forward in the window, the
others having fallen back, he deliber.

across the great Basilica. Crossing
