Hon. jefferson Reynolds, president
of the First national bank OF Las Ve-
gas, and Mrs. Reynolds returned from
their European trip Tuesday morning
after having been absent from Las
Vegas eleven months to a day. They
sailed from New York City on July
7th OF last year on the Hamburg
American steamer Deutschland, which
carried 1900 people, including the
passengers and crew. The voyage
across the big blue was most de-
lightful one, the sea running smoothly
during the entire trip, which occupied
but five days and half, almost rec.
ord-breaker The propelling power, a
10000 horsepower engine, drove them
at, such high rate Of speed that the
ship made $50 nautical miles In one
day.
They landed first at Plymouth, Eng
land, where only about 100 passengers
left the ship, the remainder being
bound for Cherbourg, France. which Is
said to have the finest natural har-
Dor in the world, the next being near
Port Angeles, state OF Washington. 1t
is the emphatic opinion OF Mr.. Ray
nolds that every patriotic American
citizen passing that way should stop
at Plymouth. which was the last port
at which the Pilgrim Fathers touched
when they set sail for America. 1t
is truly an historic place, whence came
mn ~ uhns,ld a

ayers. Mr.. Reynolds In his casual con-
versation with an Optic reporter hap
pened to remember that the ancestors
Of Robt. l.. M. Ross, U. s., commits
sioner and chief deputy county treas
urer here, all came from this place OF
renown In the annals Of the world. At
Portsmouth, alongside of Plymouth, Is
located the largest naval station on
English waters.
Mr.. Reynolds and wife went direct
to London by rail from Plymouth, re-
naming In the foggy city about three
weeks, thence proceeding to Leming-
ton, England, which is center from
which visits are made to Stratford-on-
Avon, Warrick castle, Kenilwor!h and
other places familiar by name to
readers Of ancient history.
The next run was made to Birming-
ham and Liverpool and from the lat.
ter city to the English lakes in north
England near the Scotland line, known
as the Windermere lakes, thence
through mountain Businesses to Kes.
wick, passing Lake Thirlmere. The
city OF Manchester obtains It's water
supply from this body of water at a
distance OF ninety-six miles.
The next stop made by Mr.. and Mrs.
Reynolds was at Glasgow. Scotland,
where they met, Hugh Louden, on the
eve Of his departure for the United
States, and members Of his family.
Mr. Reynolds was particularly i'm
pressed with the condition OF public
affairs In Glasgow. In which city the

salary or emoIument. They consider

At $3.50 yesterday afternoon. at the
residence Of Mrs, John Shank, Miss
Vesta Louise ForQuer became the wife
OF DR.. Harry w. Houf, the Rev. Harry
II. Treat performing the ceremony.
About dozen friends were present.
The bride arrived from her home In
Cleveland, o., yesterday morning,
Speaking Of the marriage when II
was In prospect, the Cleveland Plain
Dealer said:
To meet the man who Is to be, her
husband Miss Vesta Fyrquer, the
twenty.year-old daughter OF DR.. and
Mrs. J. w. Forquer Of No. 2 Belvidere
street, leaves this morning on trip
across the continent to Las Vegas, N.
NJ. She will travel all alone and II
fortunate In her train connections
will reach her destination Wednesday.
That evening the marriage will be
solemnized.
The husband-elect Is DR.. Harry
Houf, a well known practicing physi.
clan Of Las Vegas. II was while he was
attending the osteopathic school at
Kirksville, Mo-, five years ago, that
he met Miss ForQuer. Her father at
that time was member OF the
schools faculty. Owing to the young
lady's extreme youth and the lack OF
a practice on the part OF the medical
student, no effort was made by the
two to get married. Both patiently
awaited time when her parents
would not object and when he could
offer her suitable home.
Four years ago DR.. Forquer moved
to Cleveland with his family. During
that period his daughter saw her H.
ance hut seldom. His last trip here
was at Christmas time, but the decls
ion to marry Wednesday was not ar
rived at until three weeks ago. The
announcement came very unexpected
ly TO the family and friends. All knew
Of the engagement, but supposed the
wedding would not be for year OF
SO.
Miss Forquer entertained number
Of her friends at a luncheon Saturday
at her home In celebration of her
coming marriage and the thirtieth
birthday of her fiance, which was yes
terday.
A crowd of friends will see her of

! tempted TO elicit that Thomas had
urged the witness not to tell that What
he had testified about rebates the day
before had been false, but the court
declined to admit the evidence How
ever, the general feeling was that the
government by means of the time
checks contradicting The statements
OF Thomas, the evidence of Mcintosh
and Miss Zulch and the admission OF
the witness himself that he had chang
ed date on his time book from July
% to 25. had succeeded in break.
ing down Thomas evidence.
Col. Llewellyn opened the argument
for the government with a pain, logi-
cal and dispassionate discussion of
the evidence. Attorney George Hun.
ker followed for the defense making
light of the express messengers evi-
ece, dwelling upon the theory that
the forty fat detectives had ribbed
up the case seeking a reward and
claiming tha, the defense on the evil
dence of Thomas had established a
complete alibi. Judge Long made a
mastery address, reviewing the evi
dence, making the most of it from
his standpoint, claiming that the ef-
fort to impeach Thomas evidence
had been wholly unsuccessful and
that the alibi was perfect. He dwell
eloquently upon the claim that this
old Colorado mine owner could have
no object to serve in telling anything
but the whole truth and that he was
positive that the men were in his
camp on the day of the robbery More
than doubt must be raised in the
mind of every candid man as to the
guilt Of his clients.
Col. Lewellyn's closing address was
clever and effective He gave good
deal Of attention to the worthlessness
of Thomas evidence. to the practical
admission by himself that he had
made false statements, to the flat
contradiction by other indisputable
evidence and skifully brought out the
strongest points Of the government
evidence

Of last year. four men held up the

Ger, who has been here for ten days
in connection with the Logan train
robbery, was an officer in Coffeyville,
Kans., at the time of the famous Dal
ton brothers raid. Five men, includ.
ing the three Daltons, rode into COT
feyville, armed cap-a-pie, one day in
the summer of "93" and made a sim
ultaneous attack on two banks. The
bravery of the cashier of one of the
banks kept the robbers at bay at one
bank for five minutes. The cashier
was shot through the mouth, but saved
the day for the town. In the mean.
time one of the Daltons had ridden
away with $2S,000 from the other
bank. The citizens gathered and a
