About the Bird of July Mr.. Wri-
singer passed through Saratoga
with Mrs. Geiger and her two
children moving them to Rawlins.
where he claimed she WAS to Join
her husband whom he said was
working on the L. p. The ap-
pearance of Mrs. Geiger excited
the suspicion of some of her
friends, who wrote to the husband
and leraned that he was in n of
the southern states and had not
been near her since they seperat-
ed.
Mrs. l.. W. Want and Mrs. D..
ID. Wagner went to Rawlins last

Brush creek for a number OF
years, and owns a ranch of l6C

POSTAL OFFENDERS CAUGHT
Postoface Inspector Caught Four Men
Supposed to be Guilty Of Stealing
Money Order


Money Order
For more than a week Postotfice
Inspector L. S. T. Gregg of Den
yer has been in the city working
quietly on the trail of men who
have been making it a practice
to rob postoffices.
The scheme seems to have been
to break into office, steal money if
they could but take blank money
orders as we'll and after a few
months make them out for good
sums of money and in this way
made some pretty good hauls.
Two years ago or more the Dillon
office was broken into, and the
robbers have been chased ever
since. Mr.. Gregg Thursday cap
tured his prize when with the as
%sistance of local authorities he
put in Jail L. Cummings and AL
Zimmerman. He knew there
were others in the bunch but
thought they were scattered. He
learned however that three others
had been mere within the last few
days and he Immediately got the
wires hot. Two more were arrest
ed in Grand Island, Neb. yester-
day morning..
They have been chased from
New York all over the country
and the inspe ctor knew it was
about time that they were return
ing here to try to make use Of the
blank orders, by use of a stamp
which they had purchased some
place and forging the name of the
present postmaster to the order.
AS soon as blank orders are stolen
they r always bulletined, but
after a year the matter is forgot
ten and the robbers can with some
degree of safety use them. The
blanks, stamp and other evidence
vas found on Cummings, and TIE
inspector is certain he had the
right man, and he is also certain
that the two in Grand Island are a
part of the same gang. thinner
man he is not to be sure about,
but he believes he will prove a
valuable witness, for if he is not
actually guilty of the crime, he
has been used a ''middleman," and
peen of assistance in getting
money on the bogus orders.
The fifth man the inspector
wanted badly, for, as he said, she
is a dandy" This morning Dep
uty Sheriff Trammell and Officer
Hanks caught two more fellows
who came in on No. 4, and are
holding them on suspicion. One
of them may prove the fifth man
wanted by the inspector, as he
believed the fellow tu have gone
west.
The preliminary trial was held
last evening before U. S. Commits
sioner Merrell and the two were
bound over. Cummings gave his
name as Howard P. Glass at the
trial. Assistant District Attorney
Clark came up from Cheyenne to
attend The hearing, and Marshal
F. A. Hadsell took them to Chey-
enne this morning. The inspector
will return here after going to
Grand Island, having left for that
place this morning, and he has
hopes of catching the fifth man if
one of those arrested this morning
dose not prove to be his game

New Ulm. Mimi, April 6.-By virtue
of the fact that the attorneys for the
defense in the celebrated Koch case
stated upon numerous occasions that 1T
was impossible for DR.. Koch, reared in
the environment of the German home,
but short distance from this city, to
be capable of committing the awful
murder with which he has been charg-
ed, the state has delved deeply into
the past.
In it's tireless search for incrimin-
ating circumstances, the state has as
certained that in the early days of the
states history, a brother of Mrs. b. G.
Koch, and the defendants uncle MUIR
dered a neighbor i'm cold blood, near
the village of Bertha, in Todd county.
The state has secured a transcript of
the evidence in the Todd county case,
and finds that the deed was of more
cruel and inhuman nature than the
New Ulm murder, if that were posi-
Bile.
The transcript of evidence secured
by the state gives the information
that Samuel Sable Mrs. Koch's broth

see upon what principle the aeroplane
is made. In it's essence it has but one
pair of wings, divided into two parts.
One Of these parts is in back, another
in front Neither is wholly dependent
upon the other, but each is aided by
the othe. And when the operator de-
sires to swoop downward, he does so
by operating the tips of the wings as
does bird. One tip goes slanting up
ward, the other in the opposite direc-
ton. and is very much like guiding a
horse or riding horseback or bicycle.
The instructive principle of equilib-
rum and balance is maintained thru
out The operator sits in a frame
suspended from the wings and the tips
are worked while he occupies the small
saddle seat made for him.
The aeroplane has no motive power.
1t is flown. not by the wind for it OPP
crates with and aaginst the wind. but
by air forces that have never been
controlled until Professor Montgom-
cry broke them to harness.
Let me say remarked Professor
Montgomery, that this is not an air
ship; it is an aeroplane. But it is the
basis of an airship. l have my hopes
but other men have had hopes and
failed. Some have died l shall wait
Before I4ilienthal, you know, men tried
to fly. There are ancient accounts of
the attempts.
'rhe principal difference in my
aeroplare from others lies in the con-
struction of the surface that gath
ers power from the air. I have taken
into consideration the movements set
by the surrounding air and have made
the surface of my aeroplane take adj
vantage of these movements by PEE
culiar form of construction. Not alone
is the sustaining surface to be taken
into account. The agitation Of the
air is reckoned with in my contrivance
and thar force is made good use of"
Great Sustaining Power.
Loosed at an altitude of 5000 feet,
the sustaining power of the wings will
give power of flight for a consider
able length of time. BY manipulation
of the wings the aeroplane can go
against the wind as well as follow it,
and the man suspended in the light
frame work below is complete master
Of the winged craft.
Professor Montgomery is apparently
much averse to making claims that he
cannot substantiate. His caution. his
earnestrpess, and all the circumstances
connected with his work give assur-
ance that the airship is utterly free
from humbuggery, as has so often been
the case. Associated with him in ex-
plotting and building the winged ship
is Father Bell of Santa Clara College.

ROMANCE OF A MILLIONAIRE.
J. G. Phelps Stokes to Wed Miss Pas
tor, Ciqarmaker.

tor, Cigarmaker.
New YORK, April Ga romance
growing out of university settlement
work among thd east side tenements
was revealed yesterday when the an
nouncement was made of the engage
ment OF j. G. Phelps Stokes, Million
aire and philanthropist son of Arson
Phelps Stokes, to Miss Harriet Pas
tor The bride to be is a cigarmaker
by trade.
Miss Pastor came here from Cleve-
land about two years ago to became
reporter on the staff of the Jewish
Daily News. She met Stokes by being
sent to interview him on some phase
of settlement work. Miss Pastor then
began to do voluntary work in connec-
ton with the settlement. A few weeks
ago she left the newspaper and since
has devoted her time entirely to set
tlement work.
When rumors of the engagement
were current two weeks ago, Stokes
made denial. Last night he explain
ed that he made the denial because
to acknowledge the engagement
would have belittled his relations with
Miss Pastor. He denied the engage
ment, he explained, because they did
not consider their relations should be
described by that word. They SO long
have considered themselves one in
spirit and purpose that an engagement
in the common usage of the word was
unnecessary.
'In the eyes of the world" he said,
II pIesume we could be called engaged.
We do not consider it In that light.
We have considered that we are one
married in words and thoughts we
regarded ourselves as wholly one. We
never mentioned such thing as an
engagement between us. There has
been no formal engagement, as the
world calls it. No bonds can make us
one more than we are"
Miss Pastor, Stokes said, had gone
back to her trade as cigarmaker. she
did this in order that she might get
in touch with the people, and have the
same environment as when she first
took UP the work of looking after the
poor. She wanted the old associa-
lions and thoughts that meant so much
to her when she was struggling for
her own living.
Stokes would not tell where Miss
Pastor is working but said she was IN
one Of the largest factories of this city.
Her mother and two half brothers also
are living in the city, he said, but he
preferred not to tell their address.

next year." said Stokes. I'VE expect
however to live in a tenement down

Stokes said there was no opposition
to his marriage on the part of his fam
ilv- and denied that radical differences
on religion formed barrier.

BOXER GETS A INDICATION.

Oldenburg Grand Duchy ol oiuen
burg. April 6.-Herr Biermann' edleof
Of the Oldenburg Residenzboten' was
sentenced yesterday to a years Nh
nrisonment for accusing Franz Kun
strait H. minister of pubic Worshlp,
education and justice of Oldenburg, OF
gambling and alleging that he was not
fit to superintend the clergy.
schools and courts. This is the thlrd
sentenced imposed on Herr Blermann
for a. similar offense.
The whole German press outside OF
the state of Oldenburg has been max
ing fun over the way public affairs
are conducted in this little feudal
principality, the only one in Germany
without a constitution. Ruhstratt IL,
as he writes his name to distinguish
him from his cousin, Ruhstratt !, the
Oldenburg minister of finance, mas
long been. regarded as the leader OF
society at this court and is an intimate
associate of the reigning grand duke,
Ruhstratt II never denied that he play
ed poker and "jolly seven" at the Oh
denburg casino, but he affirmed these
games were not gambling, and that
poker, especially, being game OF skill,
in nowise impaired his fitness to d.
rect the agencies of religion, instruc-
ton and justice. Several men and
police officials were brought here from
Berlin to testify as to the nature of
poker They agreed that altho judg-
ment was an important element, IT was
a game of hazard, and quoted some
American authorities on the subject.
In America, it was said, the game was
one very generally engaged in by re-
spectacle persons, who were not IN
consequence excluded from official life.
The court decided that 1t was libelous
to attack the minister on such
grounds
