DESPERATE FIGHT
ROBBER AND MURDERER GAME TO
 LAST
Purchased Sheep fr0m Ranchlnen and Immediately Took Their Lives --Is Captured After a Bloody
 and Determined Encounter.

Fl Paso, Texas, Dec. 2.--After a des- perate fight with officers during which he was shot several times and wounded several of his pursuers. A. R. sibley, the sheep buyer. who Is alleged to have murdered and robbed D. W. caw- therne and J. W. Ealston and another raneher on three successive days in Valeverde County. was captured last night in the mountains near sanderson and is now in jail, believed to be mort ally wounded.
 The circumstances attending the mur- ders are said to-. have been almost identical Sibley purchased large herds from his alleged victims. In each case the rancher delivered the stock at Del Rio, received a check, which he prompt. ly casbed and later was found mur- dered and robbed.
 The murders, which caused intense excitement, were at first attributed to feelings growing out of the arrest of alleged revolutionists. The disappear ance of Sibley directed suspicion to- ward him and he was pursued. He was overtaken in. the hills and desperate fight ensued. He was not taken until after he had wounded several of his pursuers and had been rendered help less by his own wounds.

 DELIGHTED ? sldent Pleased the
 People. CHAIRMAN SHONTS TALKS Says Roosevelt Won Hearts by Great Enthusiasm. Heaa of Big Ditch work Take. Oees- sion to Deay Engasement of His
 Daughter to Tatlsa
 Fereagner.

New York, Dee. 2.--"Presfdent Roose- welt took the Panama people by storm" sand T. P. Shonts, chairman of the Pan- anna Canal Commission, who arrived on the Panama steamer Colon from Colon today.
 Mir. shonts spoke enthusiastically of the recent visit of the Chlef Executive. and declared that work on 'the canal was progressing under satisfactory conditions. During his talk with the newspaper men, Mir. Shonts took oc- casIon to deny that his daughter, The odora, had become engaged to titled foreigner.
 Discussing the Presidents visit. Chairman Shonts said:
 ''President Roosevelt simply took the people of Panama by storm. The setting aside of all precedents by the President in his visit to Panama, won the instant admiration and respect of the people of the Panama republic. Mr. Roosevelt was familiar with the work theoretically, and saw and understood more during his short stay than the average man would in several months.
 "The building of the canal is to President Roosevelt as the building or a future home would te to any other man. He looks at it as his own per- sonal work, having been given carte blanche by Congress in the work.
 During the Presidents trip through the canal gone, one of the leading ctti- zans asked MT. Roosevelt what he thught of the criticisms written by Pouitney Bigelow. The President Ap- swered: Small people, like small diess despoil large things and large enter prises.
 'In the Presidents speech at Colon, the thing that won the hearts of the canal workers and people was the statement: The men who are now working on the canal and the citizens of Panama, who are assisting them. will go down to posterity like the vet erans of the Civil War. When this great work is completed, the men who have been instrumental in it's success, win look backward and say. was part of It. as, do the veterans of the Civil War. when they look with pride at the great united nation.
 Mir Shonts declared that the reports of labor troubles in the canal gone were absolutely untrue.
 In regard to the reported engage. ment of Miss Theodora Shonts to the Due re Chaulnes de Pioquigny, Mr. Shonts said:
 "The reported engagement Is -abso- IuteIy untrue. Both the Misses Shonts are scarcely out of school and will not make their formal debut in society un- til the 18th of this month, when we open our new home in Washington. The girls are, no doubt, great friends of the Dues family, and that may have been the foundation for the reported engagement"

 Interstate Commission " nt~ Paucity
 oa Freight Cars Explained.
 Washington, Dec. 2.--rhe car short age theoughsut the United States will be Investigated by the Interstate Com merce Commission.
 Commissioner Franklin Lane, who has been looking Into this subject said today that the Commission will take up the situation in the Northwest first Agents are now in that section inv ss. tigating complaints against the wheat carrying roads. Farmers in many States have reported that the railroads are preferring other trafic and that they are unable to get their grain to maket to share in the high prices now cago.
 The Commission has issued circu- lar asking the grain growers to sub init specific information regarding the amount of freight offered fer shipment and the reasons given for not trans porting the same.
 Commissioner Lane said The most serious problem which faces the ship ping public today is that of getting trafEic moved. There are millions of tons of freight awaiting shipment at the present time in the United States which the roads confess themselves un- able to promptly handle Whether there ts an actual car sAorthSF or hot is a question that only full Inquiry can determine; but that there iH fault to be found with the manner in which cars are used, seems to be generally conceded by all traffic men.
 'In the Northwest the farmers of the Dakotas and Minnesota have filled the elevators along the lines of the railroads and are stacking their wheat In great bins twenty or thirty feet deep and covering an acre or more of ground. At the same time there is ample room for all of this wheat in the terminal elevators at Chicago, Milwaukee, Min neapolis, Duluth and Superior.

MATTOX'S
 STATEMENT Did Not Cause the
 Wreck. HE WAS NOT HIDING OUT Declares He Has Witnesses to
 Absolve Him. The Day Operator and Telegraph stu- dent Were in omee and Heard
 orders eiven from Law
 yers Station,

Isvnchburg, Va, Dec. 2.--operator c. D. Mattox, who is charged by ofn- efals of the Southern Railway Com pany with being responsible for Thurs days wreck ten miles below Lynch burg. today made the following state ment:
 'Fhe statement of officials of the Southern Railway that 1 have been missing since the wreck and could not be found. although detectives of the company were securing the country for me, is without the slightest founda- tion. I have been at my boarding place practically al of she time since the accident.
 Tn addition to. this. l am reliably informed that a detective of the com pany was told during the day on Thursday where l was. On the nfgnt preceding the wreck l attended box party in the neighborhood. the day operator working for me until about midnight. The night being chilly, the operator, l. Clemor, decided to remain at the office until morning and at ' o'clock relieved me. remained at home the entire day.
 About o'clock I started for the station to report for duty. Reaching the offlce l saw q large crowd congre- gated outside and from what I learned I concluded 1t would be best for me not to go in the office. I learned from the day operator that another operator had been sent to relieve me
 T am not to blame for the wreck and l think l would have no trouble to suhstantiate this claim if given the opportunity to be heard. Operator Glemmer and a student operator were both in the ofGice and heard the opera tor at Lawyers give me q clear track for Number s3 (the train to which Pres- ident Spencer's car was attached). If my recollection serves me right, Num- ber 38 passed Rangoon at 6:0s and I reported this to Lawyers.
 T cannot recall that the operator there signed for the report, but 1t was his business to he there to take the report. let Number B in the block because Lawyers gave me the right of way for the train. When Number S7 twhtch eoliided with the rear of Num- Der Sal left Winners lthe first block station north of Rangoon) I began to call Lawyers. continued to call and got Lawyers lust as Number 37 was ecming, in sight. He gave me clear block for Number 37 at SIP and the train passed the block at e;14. As Number S7 was passing Rangoon I was talking to the operator at Lawyers.
 He wanted to know when Number y3 was by me. I told him and asked him When by your and he said, by but did not give me the time. I did not give Number 37 a clear track until the operator at Lawyers gave me au- thority and can prove this by Oper- ator Clemmer and by the student oper- ator, who has been studying at the ofYice for the past year When Number 37 had entered the block. Lawyers told me that Number s3 was by, and when I asked him the time so could record 1t, he opened his key and did not reply. Number g7 had gone then"
