has affirmed the sentence of sixteen
years against Frank Baird Of Monroe
county.

ested with "Bill' Richards in the rob-
berry of the Sullivans at Hamilton and
it was his evidence which convicted
Richards. who also is serving a six
teen year sentence.
The Baird case was submitted on a
partial transcript and practically the
appeal was abandoned by Baird and
his friends. He was supposed aofa
ton for parole eventually, because he

in the penitentiary since his convic-
ton, and came out of his cell to testify

BEWARE OF CONTINENTS FOR CATARRH THAT CONTAIN MERCURY

As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on pre- scriptions from reputable physi- clans, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufact- ured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, To- ledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mu- cous surfaces of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally and made in To- ledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney < Co.

FOR WHOM $1,000 REWARD is
OFFERED.

Edward Price, a secret service de-
tective in the employ of the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe and Matt Ken
ney, a Kansas City detective, have
gone to Old Mexico to bring back a
man arrested there and charged with
being implicated in the wrecking OF a
Santa Fe passenger train last May,
nea Emporia, Kas., in which six per-
sons were injured, n of whom,
James Hanger, an old soldier from
Fort Leavenworth, died the next day.
Chief Hayes and Inspector Halpin re-
fused to talk about the case, but it is
said another wrecker has been trat-
ed to the Philippines and that Detec-
tive Kenney will go there to get him
when he returns from Old Mexico.
j. Il. Hurley, general manager of
the Santa Fe, has offered a reward of
5000 for the arrest and conviction of
the guilty persons. This wreck oc-
CURED a mile east of Emporia, the
morning of May IA. Evidence was
found indicating that a m and
three men were responsible for il,
and Santa Fe officials and detectives
have worked on the theory that the
three men were eX-employes seeking
revenge because they had been dis
charged. Near the scene of the wreck
in a pool of water, were found a track
wrench and crowbar that had been
stolen from a nearby section tool
house. The spikes and fishplates Of
two rails on the inside of n curve had
been removed.

FORGED A PASS
TWO YOUNG MEN IN JAIL FOR
HAVING GONE WRONG.

Some days ago a man named-H II. l..
Miner was sem down to Deming from
Silver City to relieve the day OPP
orator and ticket agent on the Santa
Fe, but for some reason did not go to
work; instead, he loafed around the
ticket office a day or two and then
left for the north, says the Headlight.
Agent Dreamer learned that he went
GU of here on a pass, and being sat
isied that he was not right, commu-
nicated with the officials at San Mar
cial, with the result that Miller was
brought back here by the division SUI
perintendent yesterday. On arrival
here il did not take long TO get at the
truth OF the matter, which was that
Henry Belts and Miller had fixed up
the telegraphic pass for Miller to
leave on and had signed all the names
necessary TO make it appear good.
As a result, both of these young men
are now in the bastile under $3.50
bonds each, and which so far, they
have been unable to give.
A party has just been sent TO the
pen from BernalillO county for this
very same crime, so that it don't look
good for these fellows.

the only nor the most potent argu-
ment urged against the spectacle.
1t is an object lesson in the desire
of the people to see horrors, however,
when it is considered that the crowd
who went TO see the wreck was the
largest of the fair. To be sure there
was better weather than on any pre-
ceding day and the opportunity TO at
tend the fair was greater, but with all
this the wreck spectacle must be ad-
mitted to have been a drawing card
for the day.
There is no good in these wrecks"
said a railroad official after he had
! watched the locomotives come -
gether. The people get the wrong idea
of the matter and are shown some-
thing which is alike unnatural and
disgusting. II is not right that
wrecks should be permitted in the
fair, and the objections made by sew
eral prominent Texas railroad men
are all good, and should be adopted.
Railroads are certain TO suffer TO a
a certain degree by the public parad-
ing of wreck possibilities such as

The San Antonio Express says.
Many railroad men We're interested

tives at the San Antonio international
fair grounds the other day. But most
of them are of the opinion the wreck
was a show that should not have been
permitted, because Of its uselessneSr.
1t is pointed out by them that there
can be no good purpose in this sort
of an exhibition, and that there is
nothing learned by looking at the
wanton destruction of property as ac-
complished in the exhibition wreck.
Of course, there is another reason
why railroad exhibition wrecks are
not popular with railroad men. There
Is a probability that the horrors OF
the spectacle may diminish the bust
