Confidential Game

Mrs. S. of Adams street, has recent l> had a very disagreeable experience. \ wcll-dressed man recently called at be" home and presented his card, wbich stated that he was "Dr. N, the great eye specialist of Denver" He wanted to sell Mrs. .. a pair of his medical glasses" and said he had been iri8 that her eyes were in bad cOndi- gicu. Mrs. <. has had trouble in threading her needle for some time. and when the Doctor" said he would examine her eyes without charge and just for love of his profession she con scented. Before the examination was over the Doctor had convinced Mrs. :. that it was only his oppOrtune arrival with his medical glasses that had saved her from fatal blindness. The Doctor was SO plausible that almost before she knew it Mrs. $. had the medical ElaSses and the Doctor had $1O.O0.
 These glasses proved unsatisfac- tory. and recently when Mrs. s. came |" our office we fitted her scientifically To. just one-half the price. As to the medical glasses" these can be bought in quantities for twenty cents per pair, and are made for one purpose only-to sell. Moral: Don't be buncOed, go to one who is reliable.

DeGUlRE TO BE TRIED
For a Time It Seemed He Had Escap.
 ed the Laws Clutch.

After having made the most stren- uous efforts to break into the peniten- tiary, J. N. De Guire may, after all, escape it. His is the man who robbed his partners at Tempe of the contents of the cash drawer of a saloon and the bank roll of a roulette game and was caught at Sweetwater. He had also swelled his fund by persuadinS Arthur Gibson to cash a worthless check for S1OO. This check though was in payment of a debt and a gambling debt at that.
 He was given a hearing before Jus tice Neilsen of Tempe yesterday morn ing. Assistant District Attorney Bull lard was there and advised the dis missal of the charges against DeGuire. Under the laws of this territory he had committed TO crime in the robbery of his partners, nor could it be said that in issuing a check in payment of a debt, he had obtained anything by false pretenses.
 But two warrants had been issued for him from the court of Justice Bur nett of this city. DeGuire had cashed a check for $10 at Hans Herlick's and he had persuaded R. D. Jones of the owl saloon to cash another for S2O. Both checks were drawn on the Tempe National bank. They were sent to Tempe on the day of their date but were thrown out fer want of funds and returned to the holders.
 After the disposition of the Tempe cases DeGuire sought to prepare against the Phoenix charges. He de- posted in the bank a sum sufficient to take care of both checks and fell back upon the fact that he had had an account at that bank and upon the probability that a depositor. not all ways knowing how his account stands might easily overdraw without intend ing to do so.
 At first it seemed that DeGuire had the prosecution blocked and there was a disposition to dismiss both cases against him, but a more careful study of the law led to the belief that he might be convicted.
 He was arraigned in the afternoon and pleaded not guilty to both of the charges. His examination was set for Tuesday, March 1. His bond was fixed at $50 in each case.
 DeGuire looked like a man who is suffering the physical remOrse conse- quent upon a protracted drunk. When he was searched there was found among his effects a needle gun," the kind with which slow suicide is com mitted. That was the first intimatfon that some of his friends had that he was given to the use of morphine.

BRITISH ENTER LASSA.

Younghusbaud's Expedition Reaches
Goal in Holy City of Thibet.
The British Thibetan expedition, I'M
der Colonel Younghusband, has finally
entered Lassa, its coveted goal, after
determined journey marked with the
blood of thousands.
Colonel Younghusband is the first
European to enter the holy city Of the
Thibetans. Until now the natives have
successfully resisted all attempts at in
vasion Fighting with the crudest Of
weapons, but imbued with the I'M
finching patriotism Of the Spartans,
they have turned back expedition after
expedition.
THUS far shalt thou go, but no far
ther,' has been their motto when
peaceful overtures for entrance into
Lassa have been made. They always
met foreign ENJOYS at a place far re-
mote from their capital and close to
their territorial limits and voiced this
unchanging motto in resisting any at
tempt at further advance.
Enter Lassa at any cost" was the
order given Colonel Younghusband
when he started on his expedition
many months ago. Twice was he com
PEELED to call for endorsements as he
pounded his way toward his goal, but
for every British life laid down during
his onward march the lives Of at least
one hundred natives have been the
price.
The war has been one between me-
dieyalism and twentieth century death
dealing weapons With a man Of Col
onel Younghusband's logged determi-
nation as the British leader the fight
ing could have but one result.

say more than that it was the most
damaging and sensational of any yet
brought out.
It is said the bottle found in Crys-
tails bed, which was thought to have
contain ed strychnine and was alleged
to have been put there by Mrs. Krauss,
has been found to have contained moth
ing but a harmless powder. 1t is
claimed that the attorneys for the de-
PENDANT will try to disprove the little
Somerville boys story. They will at
tempt to show that Mrs. Krauss was
not dressed in the manner described
by the boy, but that Crystal was so
dressed They will also try to prove
an alibi, as they claim Mrs. Krauss
was not at home when the boy went to
the house with the milk.
II find strychnine in the stomach
and liver of Crystal Krauss in quanti-
ties large enough to kill, and her death
undoubtedly was due to its presence"
DR.. L. P. Drayer, Of Fit. Wayne, has
issued this statement after an analy
sis Of the stomach Of Crystal Krauss
In addition, Dr. Drayer declared that
the bottle alleged to have been found
beneath the pillow Of the bed in which
the girl expired contained a half-tea-
spoonful Of white arsenic. There were
no traces Of this poison to be found in
the girls organs.

His Action Forfeits Place In Court of
Appeals Forever.
Judge Alton Brooks Parker has filed
with Deputy Secretary Of State Hor-
ace G., Tenant in Albany his resigna-
ton as chief judge Of the New York
Court Of Appeals. Although dated at
Rosemeunt, Esopus, n Y, the resigna-
ton was handed in by messenger
sent from the judges chambers, and
followed a conference between the
judge and his associates on the bench
of the Court Of Appeals. The resigna-
ton Is worded as follows:
''Rosemount, Esopus, N VI hereby
respectfully resign my Office as chief
judge of the Court Of Appeals Of the
State OF New York, such resignation
to take effect Immediately.
ALTON B. PARKER"
By his action Judge Parker disre-
garded the advice of the various poll
ticians and others who have been urg-
Ing him to withhold his resignation for
three days. By so doing he would
have made it impossible for success
sor to his Office to be nominated until
next year, and would have held the
place open for himself in the event Of
his defeat for the presidency Of the
United States in November, a tempo-
rary chief justice being appointed by
the Governor to serve out the year.
The defeat Of Judge Parker in the
fall now would mean that his old place
at the head Of the highest of the State
courts would practically be closed to
him forever, as the man elected this
year will have fourteen-year term to
serve.

Origin of Marine Insurance.

Marine insurance is q much older
system than most folk probably know;
it dates back to the early days of
Greece and Rome. In later times we
find Justin Martyr, in the year 533 A.
D., decreeing II per cent to be the
lawful amount of profit for the insur-
ance Of goods on land, but 20 per cent
to marine insurers, on account of the
greater risk involved The first marine
insurance people in this country were
Germans, the Merchants of the Steel
yard, who came to England in the
reign Of Edward ". They are most
strange race of men, for they lived to-
gether in community like monks,
and were not allowed to marry or even
to speak to women. The site of their
old residences is where Cannon street
railway station now stands. These
gentry, after time, were the victims
Of "anti-alien immigration" laws. They
waxed SO prosperous that the British
people became jealous of them, and
consequently, In 1897, an act of parlia-
ment was passed ordering all foreign
ers to leave the country, on pain OF
heavy penalties. Their place was tax
en- by Britishers, who formed a Coun.
Gil Of Insurance, whose checkered ca
reer is full of interest to lawyers and
historians, but not of SO much attrac-
ton to ordinary laymen.-Liverpoo

laughed. Lloyd Somerville, 9-year-

was the strongest witness for the

was strychnine poisoning and not ar

MANY DIE in TRAIN HORROR.
Five Coaches Plunge Into Colorado
Creek from Weakened Bridge.

Five Coaches Plunge Into Colorado
Creek from Weakened Bridge.
Probably about 100 persons were
killed or drowned in a railway wreck
on the Rio Grande at Pinon, Col. The
Rio Grande passenger train No. IL,
south bound, went through the bridge
over Fountain Creek. The engine ana
five coaches were thrown into the
creek. which is swollen from recent
heavy rains.
The wreck undoubtedly was due to
a cloudburst. For hours that evening
the country north Of Pueblo was
swept by the heaviest rain storm that
has been experienced in this vicinity
for score Of years Small streams
were swollen into raging torrents,
bridges swept away, and the roadDed
of the railway washed and weakened
in spite Of the heavy stone ballast.
Fountain Creek, In which the Rio
Grande train plunged, runs through
winding, stone lined gully, through the
hills. and it was filed with rush OF
waters so impetuous that the railroad
bridge was barely able to stand alone,
even before the train dashed upon 1t,
and was precipitated into the food be-
low.
1t is believed there were fully 125
persons on the train and only twenty
three survivors have been accounted
for With the breaking Of day the full
horror Of the scene became apparent.
Wreckage was visible in all directions,
dead bodies being seen here and there
in the piles Of debris from the cars.
driftwood and mud. Many of the
bodies were carried down Fountain
Greek by the wall Of water, which had
force enough to carry several coaches
nearly four miles away from the point
where they went through the bridge.
A cloudburst had filed the creek and
water was flowing over the trestle
when the train started across. The
bridge went down under the weight OF
the train, and the baggage car, smoker
and chair car were precipitated into
the torrent. The engine got almost
across, but fell back into the water.
The body of Engineer Human was
found 200 feet down the river. All the
cars were washed down the stream.
The express car was found not far
away with the safe open and its con-
tents gone. The chair car was half q
mile from the scene Of the accident,
half-filled with sand, in which were
buried the bodies Of many passengers.
The smoker was washed still farther
downstream and was not located until
several hours after the time Of the ac-
cident.
Upon the news reaching Pueblo a
special train bearing all the available
surgeons and the Rio Grande and Mis-
souri, Pacific officials left for the scene.
Later a second train, carrying stretch
ers, collins and number Of officials,
was sent out Two hours afterward
the relief train returned to the city
bringing those who had escaped with
their lives.

transformation of the desert into -four

orchards. Mr.. Goulder said that while
i'm a reminiscent mood he could go
back nearly so years further into the

would make too heavy a draft on the
good natured readiness of DR.. Reynolds
