WORK OF SALVAGE
BEGUN At JENSEN'S.

The work of clearing away the de-
bris and making whatever salvage re.
mains from the fire in Willis Jensen's
store was begun yesterday morning,
the building and its contents having
been taken charge of by agents of the
insurance company which had policies
on the stock Of the Laramie Furniture
company. There was a very severe
loss, despite the fact that some of the
property Of the store was not greatly
damaged. A pitiful sight was the
pitchers and cups in the queensware
department, which came through the
fire all right, but which, filled with
water during the fire, were broken by
tho freezing afterward. Some of the
stoves were saved almost uninjured
Mr.. Conner says he had no insurance
on the building, due to the high rate
on account of the nature of the struc.
ture.

ROBBED TILL
AT A HOTEL
THOMAS WALTON WANTED FOR
RELIEVING ROCK RIVER BOARD
ING MISTRESS OF MONEY.
Claimed to Be censumptive Travelling
Through the Mountains and Stole
Money When Left Alone In ONCE
for Momsnt-Aas Just Completed
Term In P~enItentiary.

Sheriff Charles A. Reals today Of.
fered a reward Of $25 for the arrest
and detention of Thomas ]. Walton,
aged about rs years, nearly six feet
tall. smooth shaven, bald on the front
Of his head, who gives the impression
that he is a ~consumptive and that he
has spent the summer walking through
the mountains for the benefit of his
health. He is wanted here for rob
bling Mrs. McDermott's hotel at Rock
River of about $40 and skipping out.
Walton was discharged from the
p~enitentiary at Rawlins last Monday
and at once left the city, going to Rock
River, where he stopped with Mrs. Nc
Dermott until Friday evening. He had
eaten his supper and was sitting in the
office of the hotel. Mrs. McDermott
was called from the room for a few
minutes, and while she was out and
Walton was alone, he opened the
money drawer n took the money
therefrom, at once leaving the place.
He was afterwards heard from at
Lookout, but since then he has not
been seen in these parts.
Under Sheriff Morgan Knadler had
been at Rock River but a short time
before after May. the negro wanted
for larceny, but when the officers
heard of the robbery, after the return
of the under sheriff to this city. Wal
ton was missing and had left the
place.
Sheriff Smalley this morning sent
Sheriff Reals a picture of Walton,
taken at the time he went to the PEN
itentiary at Rawlins, showing the man
in his shirt sleeves. Sheriff Reals has
sent postal cards bearing a description
of h fellow all W. this part of the
country, Int it is probable Walton will
be Overhauled and returned here for
trial.
Walton tries to impress upon his
hearers the fact that he is a con-
sumptive and is in the mountains for
his health. He says he spends the
time walking from place to place,
which accounts for his thin, pale look
and the fact that he does not ride
from point to point.

Circus Men Stop a Train.

Ringing Bros came near being shy
two Of the circus performers yester-
day and only the fact that an incoming
passenger train on the Northwestern
was under control, saved the men
from death. In way the incident YVES
laughable. as circus people are gener-
ally considered to be about the wisest
on earth, and know full well how TO
look after their own interests. The
two men in question, having returned
to the living cars from the afternoon
performance, were sitting on the south
track of the Northwestern, at a point
just opposite where the circus cars
were standing on siding, and did not
notice the approach Of the incoming
train, No 10. from the east. Station
Master c. A. Deuel. saw their danger,
however, and tried to warn them by
voice They were either too far away,
or too busily engaged, to notice the
shouts, and the train came bearing
down upon them. The engineer, think
ing that, surely the men could not be
asleep. and utterly unconscious Of
their surroundings, sounded the dan
ger whistle signal Still the men did
not bulge. The train was then brought

WRITING WAY AROUND WORLD.
Two Chicago Newspaper Girls Star

Two Chicago Newspaper Girls Start
Thursday Night on Long Journey.
Miss Louella Comfy and Miss Anna
Pinch, two Chicago newspaper girls,
were in the city this morning, being
their way to San Francisco. from
which point they will write their way
around the world Their paraphernalia
consists largely of brains and pluck,
altho they do carry one typewriter. one
camera, two revolvers, two suit cases
numerous credentials and letters from
Chicago newspapers, and only $3.50 in
money between them. Miss Comfy and
Miss Pinch expect to be absent from
Chicago between four and five years.
All of the expenses Of their trip will
be paid by their stories, which they will
send Chicago papers. They will also
do local assignments where they find
demand for them, and will remain
in each country they visit about five
months, living among the people, and
going to out-of-the-way places.
Miss Comfy, who is a very fascinating
and pretty young woman, Is we'll known
in Chicago newspaper circles, and has
been working on the Post. She is an
intimate friend of Miss Lucy Powers
Huffaker, formerly of the Times-Re-
publican, but now of the Chicago Re-
view. She is an accomplished musi-
clan, and plays the violin splendidly.
She has taken her violin with her, and
as she is clever in being able to do
several little vaudeville stunts, may
be able to amuse some of her new
found foreign friends in that way. Miss
Pinch is not so we'll known in Chicago,
altho she has worked in the papers
there for a time. Until recently she
has been with the New York World

Francisco Miss Comfy and Miss Pinch
will land at Honolulu, and will visit
Japan, China, Australia, Borneo and
other foreign countries.
