BOXELDER SHERIFF'S SAY
About the arrest Of the Escaped convicts. He

Your issue of today containing an
account of the capture Of the two es-
capped convicts, Moore and Kane, has
been handed to me. desire. in jus.

in the columns of your paper to show
my stand in the matter, and in so do
ing | desire to give every person just
credit due them for the part taken
and must say that the piece in this is
sue is very unkind to me in every re-
spect.
1t is true that Mr.. Barker, the dep
, uty sheriff of Cache county, captured
the men. After being out two nights
and two days with our county and
city officers got track of the convictS
at Deweyville and instructed Rodney
Fryer to either arrest them or keep
track of them and would come up
on the freight train, which | missed
catching by about two minutes, but
Immediately engaged livery buggy

continued after them to that place
and found that they were not there.
Thinking that they had boarded the
freight train that had missed | tele-
phoned the deputy sheriff this infor-
nation and asked him to be on the
! lookout for them at Cache Junction
as was following them as fast as
possible.

ton telephoned the officers at Ogden
that the men wanted were in oul
county and perhaps they had better
come up and superintend the search
for them.
a very few minutes after this Dep.
uty Sheriff Barker called me up by
phone and notified me that he had
apprehended one of the convicts, but
that the other one had escaped. |
Immediately asked him to procure
some one to hold the one he had cap
tured, as he informed me he was
afraid to leave him as he might make
his escape. This he did and proceed
ed after the missing one, whom he
captured at Newton.
This is a correct statement of what
was done up to that time.
Now as to the statement over the
signature of w. II. Griffin, permit me
to say that his statement as to my ex-

there is absolutely no truth and Mr..
Griffin in making such a statement
does not show the trait of gentle
man, as he presumes to speak the
plain truth.

get the other man on the train also
Mr.. Barker did not have time to
even remove the handouts from the

This shows conclusively that there

his individual check TO cover these
expenses, the check being for $500,
five dollars of which l gave to Mr..
Barker, five dollars to II. Fryer and
the balance with eighty cents Of my
own money to finish paying these ex'
penses. This work, so far as l was
concerned was done simply to assist
other officers in the capture, as have
often received such favOrs from them
which duly appreciate and recognize
the fact that officers should assist
each other in cases Of this kind as fal
as possible.
After arriving at Ogden with the
convicts was told that Attorney NJ.

fifty dollars for their capture but have
not received the same nor any part
thereof. Should there in fact be such
reward, and get the same, all who
took part in the capture will receive
his portion of the same. So upon this

Old Folks Have "More Fun than You can
Shake Stick at" A continued Story.

In its last issue THE REPUBLICAN
reported the forenoon exercises of the
Old Folks gathering at Richmond
Tuesday, and in the following pre-
sents the afternoon program which
proved no less enjoyable than the
mornings pleasures.
The master of ceremonies not being
present, II. S. Hammer, of Smithtield
entertained the old folks with some
excellent singing.
Mrs. Annie Miles, of Smithiicld, re-
cited piece entitled "llow Joshua
killed a mouse" At this the house
went wild. Upon returning she re-
cited Don't forget the old folks. y
Following this came selection by
the band, song by William Pliking-
ton, of Smithheld, Nov we are
growing old" This gentleman pos
sesscs one Of the finest voices In the
county. Every word was distinct and
he sang in very touching manner,
The whole audience Joined in the
chorus
A step dance was given by Andrew
Higee, aged 70 years, and Agnes Jar
dine, aged 10. The old folks did them
selves proud.
John Hammer followed with a sim
liar dance, giving shuffles, half-wings,
etc, to queens taste-a regular old
time jig.
Mrs. W. II. Dopp, of Lewiston, al
though somewhat advanced in years,
proved that she could outstrip many
of those much younger. Her dancing
showed that she was well acquainted
with the art.
Mrs. George Holiday sang the old
ballads "Annie Laurie" and "Sweet
Niolets.' Her voice is extremely
sweet and with her Scotch accent she
made a great hit with her first song.
Misses Fisher and Christensen sang
"Wc were slaves before the war" in II
very pathetic manner
The remainder of the time was de-
voted to distributing prizes.
Mary Anderson, aged 70, having the
most living children of any lady of
that age present, was awarded "A silk
umbrella.

Sarah Horne, the same age within a
few days. having the same number Of
children, received a fine purse
The irrcpressible George l.. Farrell
also walked away with silk umbrella
being 10 years old and having - living
children. No one was near him.
Four prizes, consisting of linen
table cover, linen towels, pair of
ladies hose, and a SCI of teaspoons was
given to ladies over sixty years who
had lost the fewest children.
Isaac Pew, eighty years of age, was
presented with pair Of slippers.
Robert Thornley,, the man that
matched up with an OK In early days
in moving his family. received pair
of spectac!es.
The presentation of the last gift
created the fun for the old folks. A
finely dressed doll was given to Miss
Abbie Lewis, of Richmond, aged y,
who had never been and never expect
ed to get married.
The exercises of the day were closed
by the band discoursing music, and
the hundreds of the old folks shaking
each other by the hand, and wishing
each other Gods speed. This was one
of the happiest days ever spent by the
old folks in this county, and they APP
preciated highly the efforts in their
behalf. Much credit is due George l..
Farrell, Bishop Skidmore, Mrs. Thos.
Petty, Moroni Stocks, Madams Mary
and Zina Merrill, with fifty others, for
the energy put forth in cheering the
hearts of the old folks of Benson
Stake.
Geo. l.. Farrell was presented with
an elegant silk handkerchief by a local
merchant of Richmond as an express
sion Of appreciation of the gentleman's
efforts put forth that day in entertain
ing the aged.
The song Mr.. Farrell sang in the
morning follows:
As you walk down the street
How often will you meet some poor
old soul
Who's wrecked and filled with woe
With old age his back is bent
In his pocket not cent

And for shelter does not know where
to go.
With relations by the score
Who would turn him from their door
And meet him on the street they pass
him by
If you ask him why it's done
He will answer you and say
am poor and old and only in the
way.
Then let us cheer them on
They won't be with us long
Don't sheer at them because they're
old and gray
They have passed the prime of life
And have seen much care an1 strife
They are poor and old and only in the
way.
There was time ! hear
When the young were not so queer
But since that time has come an
awful change
Young men in health and strength
From poor old parents shrink
We meet them every day, It's nothing
strange.
Take some forlorn old wreck
Whose children all forsake
For death I'm sure he oftentimes
does pray
For himself and wife after toilng all
their life
For they're poor and old and only in
the way.
Now this little song I'm sure
Is for rich as well as poor
Take the rich man that is getting
grey and old.
His relatives round him stand
And his friends all grasp his hand
Awaiting him to die
They want his gold.
Then let us travel on
They won't be with us long
Don't sheer at them because they're
old and gray.
But remember while you're young
That time to you will come when
You'll be poor and old and only in the
way.

SECOND PEACE CONFERENCE
Proposed to Hague signatories b,
President Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt.
Washington. Oct 31.-In circular
note Secretary Hay has carried out the
Presidents instructions relative to
proposing second Hague conference.
The note not only contemplates the
re-assembling Of The Hague confer
ence for the consideration Of questions
specifically mentioned by the original
conference, as demanding further at
tention, such as the rights and duties
of neutrals, the inviolability Of private
property in naval warfare and the bonn
bardment of ports by naval forces. but
goes further by practically endorsing
the project Of general system Of ar
bitration treaties and the establish
ment OF an international congress to
meet periodically in the interest OF
peace.
The issue OF the call while the pres
ent war is in progress is justified by
the fact that the first Hague confer
ence was called before our treaty with
Spain was concluded.
