that he had understood that he tHooker)
could throw some light on the robbery, and
that large sum Of money would be paid
him for the information he gave Mr.. Pin
kerton explained to Mr. MCFARLAND that
Hooker would lie to him and endeavor to
get the money by giving him false infor-
nation, but to listen patiently to what he
had to say and lead him on as far q pos
sible without giving him any money. This
done. Mr.. Pinkerton further predicted that
Hooker would go back to his cronies and
boast of how much money he expected to
get; and that eventually, through his boast
ings, he would prove the means of locating
Burke alias Mccoy.
i !;
And so, precisely, it fell out Some of
Hookers companions were Pinkerton de-
tectves, although Hooker did not know
them as such. and they in time reported
back that Burke was really the Pollock
robber; that after committing the robbery
he had gone back to Omaha, and from there
had gone to Denver From Denver he went
to Salt Lake. and visited prisoner in the
Salt Lake penitentiary, with whom he was
Intimate, gave this prisoner some money,
and went from Salt Lake west to the Pa
cffic coast.
Mr. Pinkerton next instructed that the
record be examined for daring "hold-ups'
that might have occurred in the country
lately trayersed by Burke. 1t was then
found that faro bank at Colorado City,
a small place between Maniteu Springs and
Colorado Springs had been entered late at
night by masked robber. who compelled
the dealer and other persons to hold UP
their hands, took the money In the drawer
and escaped; that later on a similar rob-
berry had been perpetrated at San Bernar-
dino, Cal; that later still the pool rooms
of James Malone, q noted gambler at a
coma Wash, had been treated in the same
manner; and, finally, that light or pane
of glass in jewelry store at Sacramento
had been broken in and tray of dia-
monds snatched from the window by a dar-
ing thief. And all of these deeds, Mr..
Pinkerton learned ultimately through
Hooker's talk, had been done by Burke.
The watch on Denton at Omaha devel-
oped little, if anything, except that close
companionship existed between him and
the Omaha pawnbroker.
During the summer of 1893 learning that
an intimate friend of Burke's, burglar
who had been in prison with him in the
Utah penitentiary, was confined in jail at
Georgetown, Texas, Mr. Pinkerton decided
to go and interview this man, and see If
he could get any trace, through him, of the
robber In the meantime he instructed the
detectives at Omaha and Denver to keep
particularly close watch on Jack Denton
and Hooker.
On Mr. Pinkerton's arrival at Austin.
Tex, he found awaiting him dispatches
from Superintendent MCFARLAND of the Dem
yer agency. stating that through Rockers
talk they had learned that kid" Mccoy,
or Burke, had been arrested at Eagle, Col,
with kit of burglar tools in his posses
sion, and was then in jail at Leadville

STRANGE FACTS ABOUT
OUR STREET RAILWAYS.
Tho Evolution From Horses -

Superseded All Other Systems.

Some facts Of timely interest regard
ing the growth and present condition
Of street railways in America are con-
tanned In a special report recently is
sued by the apartment of Commerce
and Labor. !
On the subject OF the growth OF
street railways, the report brings out
the fact that the first passenger cer
ever constructed for Il street railway
was used in New York City in the third
decade of the last century. This car
was drawn w horses over strap rails
laid on stone ties. improvements in
troduccd during the next forty years
were principally in details, but tho in.
PRODUCTION of the cable system in 1878
was decided advance in motive
power, At the present time, however,
the use Of the cable car is confined al
most exclusively TO the cities of Chi
Cago san Francisco and Kansas City,
while the trolley, which was not used
to any great extent prior to 1885, has
practically superseded all other sys.
tens.
The total number OF passengers car
rled In one year was $3.50, 5.296, OF
which l,062, i03,3S2. or 1872 per cent,
were transfer passengers.
The average number Of rides per in-
habitaut advanced from thirty-two in
1890 to sixty-three in 1902 for the
country as a whole, while the advance
Of the urban population was from
ninety eight to l6S. The proportion Of
rides to the total population is greatest
in the District of Columbia, where the
| population is urban, and is next great
est in Massachusetts,, while New York
ranks third. California has the high
est proportion OF rides to the urban
population. -Harper's Weekly.
