Said to Have Made Confession of Lar
ceny From Local Establish

800 is the charge upon which Joseph Nc
Keown is held in custody by the local po-
lice The ring was obtained from a sales
man employed at Castelberg's the 18th OF
last month by means of a trick. 1t was
because of effort on his part to play a
similar trick on the firms of r. Harris q
Co. and Berry & Whitmore yesterday that
he fell into the hands of Detectives Parham
for him yesterday, but he was not caught
in 1t. This morning they arrested him as
he was about to enter a house on 18TH
street where he had a room. AT the time
the detectives arrested McKeown he pro-
tested his innocence, but later in the day
they say he admitted to Maj. Sylvester,
Capt. Boardman and the detectives that he
had obtained the ring from Castelbergs

oner gave the police an idea of his lden-
tity. These papers showed that he had

Looked Diamonds Over.

Last month McKeown called at Castel-
bergs and looked at some valuable dia-
monds. He said he was staying at the
Metropolitan Hotel and that he wanted
some diamonds sent there for his wife to
inspect. They were to be sent at 2 o'clock.
but before that hour he telephoned that he
was going to make a change in his quar-
tiers. His wife was nervous, he stated, and
wanted to get away from the crowd that
remained after the Inaugural ton. Then he
directed that the diamonds be sent to the
Elsemere a. o'clock, and clerk was sent
there with four pieces of jewelry. 1t was
a little after ) when the clerk reached the
hotel and the prospective customer told
him that his wife had become tired of wait
ing and was taking a bath. The clerk did
not mistruSt the customer when the latter
asked that he be permitted to take the dia
mondS to the bath room and show them to
his wife, but explained that he would like
to explain to her the merits of the goods.
Finally the clerk went to the landing near
the bath room, and while the door was held
partly open he handed over the valuable
diamonds. Two minutes after the door
closed the clerk went down the steps and
asked a maid If she had seen anything of
Mr.. Robinson" the man had given
his name.
HE just went out the door," she told him.
Realizing that the man had robbed him.
the clerk started out to overtake him. He
went to a railroad station and sent an
other employee of the store to a pawnshop.
The man with the diamonds reached the
pawnshop about five minutes ahead of the
clerk and obtained 500 on the diamonds.
Detectives were called in and the case was
investiga ted, but nothing more was heard
of the alleged crook until yesterday, when
he called at the other stores and ma de an
attempt to get more diamonds by means
of similar trick.
Called at Other Stores.
At the stores where he called yesterday
he asked that the diamonds be sent to 900
18th street northwest, where, he stated he
occupied a room. The dealers became sus-
picious of the mans conduct and reported
to the police what he had attempted. It is
thought that McKeown became suspicious
and got out of the way before the detectives
could get him. This morning he expressed
surprise when the detectives arrested him,
but made no effort to get away from them.
After the case had been investigated and
the prisoner had admitted his guilt the de-
tectives questioned him about the reason
he had for carrying the red pepper. They
recalled that. many desperate criminals
had carried pepper and had thrown it upon
officers or others when in danger of being
apprehended. The prisoner denied that he
had any such object in carrying it with
him, and said he used it in hot milk for
the purpose of keeping his feet warm He
had about one-half pound of the pepper in
his pocket Before being sent to station
and locked in cell the prisoner was meas
ured and photographed for the gallery.

SUIT ON AN AGREEMENT
An Interesting Proceeding Brought in
 District Court Yesterday.

Carrie A. Lount and Edna V. Parker, plaintiffs. vs Thomas Hayes. defend ant, is the title of a very interesting suit filed in the district court yester- day morning. It is an injunction pro- ceeding to restrain the defendant from selling the southeast quarter of section II, township l north, range 2 east.
 It :s alleged that in 1887 when the plaintiffs were Carrie A. Warren and Edna V. Warren an arrangement was entered into between them and the de- fendant by which the defendant should have the use of the property during his life time and that he should exc cute a will bequeathing the property to them at his death It is alleged that such will was executed but that the defendant disregarding the agreement is about to dispose of the property and will do so unless he be restrained. A temporary order was issued.
 The preceding facts are these: Some years ago William Rood, a California forty miner came to the valley and took up tlis land. Some time after that he sent for Haves who was also a forty miner and he made his home with Rood until the death of the latter some time prior to 1887 Rood's title to the property had not been made complete at the time of his death. The plain tiffs bought the interest of his heirs | in it and made arrangements for its re-entry in the name of Hayes who was to have the use of it during his | life time, the plaintiffs to bear the ex- pense of procuring the title and other wise to assist in making the declining | years of Hayes easy.
 | The property has grown to be ot great value. It lies directly west o1
 the city and south of the ranch of Jot | Monihon. The plaintiffs relied on th'
 promise of the defendant until few days ago they learned that he wa
 making arrangements for the sale O the property to William Nall. Then tn papers in the suit were drawn up | There was filed in the office of tn ] county recorder yesterday a deed t the property from Hayes to Nall,, tn | consideration appearing to be. S15,OOl
 though it is understood that the actua
 consideration was $12, ,0OO. There wa
 filed also at the same time a mortgag from Nall to Hayes for $11,00O. Bot
 documents were filed at five minute
 past five o'clock in the afternoon. Tn
 lis Dendens was filed in the distric
 court before noon.

HENRY KNOX. of Bunker Hill.
When Washington Joined the army he
promoted Knox to the rank Of col
onel. In laying siege to the city
Washington found himself embarras-
sed by the want Of sufficient artillery,
and Knox conceived the idea Of OBJ
tanning a supply from Lake George
and the Canadian frontier. Knox set
out in November on this hazardous en-
terprise. BY extraordinary efforts he
was able to return in December, hav-
ing succeeded in his mission. He
brought with him fifty-five cannon,
300 pounds Of lead and 4 barrel of
1ints.
Before the battle Of Trenton, Knox
was sent by Washington to cross the
Delaware and march on the place.
This he did before the stream became
choked with ice, Hating on the bank
Of the stream, in the enemy's country,
while Washington and his army were
struggling amid the floating ice in the
darkness, he directed their advance to
a landing. He then pushed on his
guns through binding snowstorm
and was soon in front Of the Hes
slams.
