NEW POSTMASTER AT EMMA

RewSri.d for rero:c Work In saving
Funds Of rostoffice Four Years Ago.
AS reward for defending the
postofiice at Emma, this State, four
years ago, against four lurglars,
= ident Roosevelt has waived the
civil seryi e regulations, upon the
recommendation Of Postmaster Cen
eral Cortelyou, aud s. III. Alexan-
der's Chris mas gift was promotion
from a laborer 10 a cleIk hip in the
department. The attempted rob-
berry took place On the night OF Feb
ruary 6, 1901, and the Official &C.
count says:
after the store in which the
postofiIce at Emma Is located close d
for the night, Mr.. Alexander. who
had been sleeping in the room ad-
joining, heard knock on the door
and inquired what was wanted. He
was told that some one living near
wanted his mail. He unbarred the
door and two masked men entered,
covering him with revolvers and
commanded him to give up his own
revolver and open the fireproof safe.
While one Of the burglars, Ffar K
johnson, who had laid his revolver
on the disk near the safe, was stoop-
ing in the act of looting the safe,
ard during moment when the
other burglar, Ben Foster, had his
head turned, Alexander seized the
idle revolver and shot the latter
near The heart. He attempted to
shoot Johnson also. but failed to do
so, as the revolver snapped.
. ga desperate struggle followed.
Foster, although seriously wounded,
pursued Alexander and shot him in
the abdomen, the bullet coming out
at the ba k. Alexander, SEER G Fos-
ter about TO shoot at him again,
swung johnson around, so that the
bullet struck Johnson'5 left should r

cred the burglars.
I alexander mar aged, however, to
put them both out Of the buildir G
and to call cut signal of distress
and then tainted. The postmaster,
hearing this signal, came to Alexan-
der's relief and found him lying
weak and faint in pool Of blood.
"iis bravery is the more accen-
tuated when it is known that Mr..
Alexander is man Of small stature,
p 'obably not more than five feet ak
iches tall, and weighs less than 125
pounds. II would seem that he
must have been possessed of almost
superhuman strength to Gust the two
desperadoes from the postcfi %.

plices, after trial, were given the e: :
IRENE penalty of the law, which, for
the offense committed in the State
Of North Carolina, is death. After

REVEALED IN DREAMS.
How son, Mysterious Crimss Have Been
brought to Light.

How soma Mysterious Grim :. Have Been
brought To Light.
Some Of the stTaugest stories in
the annals Of crime are those which
tell OF the part dreams have played
in The discovery CT criminals, says
It'd Bits.
One spring day IN 1880 firm la
borer, when passing a lonely moun-
tain lake in Sutberlandshire, saw in
the waters dead body, which when
rescued proved to be that Of a we'll
known peddler who had mysteri.
ously vanished about a month
earlier.
The body bore The marks of VIC
lence, the pockets Were empty, and
it was clear that the poor fellow had
been brutality murdered and robbed
but by whom ? That was a mys-
tsry which for many week COM
pletely defied calculation.
One night, however, Kenneth
Fraser, a tailor's assistant, sa " in a
dream the cottage Of a man, Hugh
Macleod. and heard a voice say in
Gaelic The peddler's pack is lying
in cairn of stones in a hole near
this house." He told the story Of
this singular dream to the authori-
ties who accompanied him TO Mac
leod's house. and there, sure enough,
beneath q heap Of stones. the MUIR
dered mans property was found.
Macleod was arrested, confessed and
was executed.
Another very remarkable story is
tod of tragedy in Ireland. One
evening two strangers presented
themselves at wayside inn, Port
land, and after taking refreshments
C ntinued tbs ir tramp in the direc-
rI0n of Carrick- On-Suir. The incl
mt was commonplace enough; but
il led 10 startling developments, for
N the wayfarers the landlady Of the
inn recognized two men Of whom
she had dreamed a very strange
dream the night before. Ia her
dream she had seen one Of them kill
the other with towards blow from
behind, rifle the pockets of the dead
man ard s.ealthily bury him be.
meath a hedga. So impressed was
her husband VIII tits drelm was
told to him III IL he nude his way
to the spot Indicted and there dis
covered the body of the buried man.
There has seldom been a more
mysterious crime than the murder
of ar. Stockton, a London victual-
Ter, a great many years ago, and the
mystery would have been unsolved
10 this day had it not been for the
Intervention of q Mrs. Greenwood,
who came forward with the state

MURDERESS
NAY DIE
A FAMOUS CASE
Insane Jane Toppan. Who
Killed a Dozen People, is
Starving To Death---A
Horrible Career.

Taunton. Mass. Oct. 22.-Ians
Toppan, the Lowell nurse, who killed
dozen or more persons at various
times, is in an extremely weak con-
dition at the insane hospital here and
her death is believed to be a question
of very short time. For year and
half she has refused to eat. and her
weight has been reduced from 2l0
pounds to so.
II was early in 1892 that the case
of Jane Toppan attracted the eattention
of the entire country. In November
of the preceding year she had been
arrested at Barnstable on u charge of
numbering one of her patients. Soon.
however, the investigation of the au-
thorities led them to believe her
guilty of other murders. If the wo.
man was guilty of half the murders
of which she was strongly suspected
she was entitled to place in criminal
annals rivaling that of II. II. Holmes.
the Chicago man who was executed
for his numerous crimes.
The crime for which Miss Toppan
was arrested was the poisoning OF
Mrs. Mary Gibbs at Cataumet, Mass &,
in August, 1901. Indirectly she was
held responsible for the deaths OF
three other residents or Cataumet at
about the same time. She was also
suspected of the murders of some OF
her patients in Lowell. Chicago and
other places. All of the crimes were
said to have been committed by the
use of poison.
A medical commission appointed to
examine the woman declared her in
sane and consequently she escaped
being tried for any of the eleven
deaths alleged against her. During
the four years she has been confinde
in the Tauton asylum her condition
has grown steadily worse, and for
more than year she has been unable
to leave her bed.

The company as a whole is one of tho
best singing and acting companie,

One thing that added in great
measure to the success of the per
formance of this exceptionally good
company was the presence of an or
chestra. The company's own musical
director was in charge of Prof
Payne's orchestra of this city. which
orchestra consists of Prof. Payne,
John Cameron, Frank Shores and
one or two other talented home boys.
Although only one or two rehearsels
were held the orchestra did admirable
work and rendered the difficult mus
zeal selections splendidly. The audi.
ence certainly did appreciate the
presence of the orchestra for mus

PEGGY MADE GOOD
A Crowded House Delighted with
the Clever Performance of That
Wonderfully Popular Musi-
cal Play, Peggy from
Paris"

Grand junction theatre goers had
| a chance to pass on the merits of one
| of George AIDES famous entertain
ment efforts Saturday night when
Peggy from Paris came to the Park
opera house and a mark of happy
and perfect approval was stamped on
this whlrlwind of fun, music and
beauty that has piled popularity on
popularity ever since II came into
being some years ago.
1t is hardly probable that no pro
duction of like nature ever gave
more complete satisfaction in Grand
Junction than did Peggy from
Paris on Saturday night.
In spite of the fact that Saturday
night is considered bad night for
the show business the Park opera
house was completely Allied and If
that audience wasn't pleased then
continued applause and roars of
laughter indicate nothing.
The musical comedy has been
changed some since its first presen-
every instance made improvements.
The musical programs for the pro-
logue and the two acts were spark
ling In their newness and charmlngly
varied in their features.
The company is one of exceptional
merit Some of the members of the
original cast were there. notably
Arthur DEACON who takes the part OF
Hickey. the useful boy and who is the
star of the company. 1t Is hard to
success with DEACON left out. He has
played the part of Reginald Hickey.
the big over-grown, muscular boy. for
four years, missing only two or three
performances in all that time. Dea-
gon as Hickey would make wooden
man laugh. AS a comedian he Is
original and more than successful.
As Hickey he has pretty nearly any
comedy character ever seen on the
local stage beat. The part Of Hickey
was not so important when the play
was first produced but DEACON made
such hit that he was given greater
prominence and the leading char
acter.
George Elmer as Capt. Plummer.
Peggy's father. was true and ideal
Ade character, he was all right at all
times.
Miss Eulalie Jensen is playing
Peggy" this season. She is tall.
handsome brunette and makes a
most fascinating. graceful and pleas
ing Peggy.
Gale Satterlee as Montague Fish,
the sporty old banker. was especially
good and one of the best fun makers
of the evening.
Miss Minnie Olton certainly de-
serves much credit for the manner in
which she handles that ludIerous
character of Mrs. Fish.
The ten or more other principals
were most satisfacto and the large
chorus was hugely pleasing. The
eighteen or twenty girls of the COM
pany were all good looking and could
dance we'll. In fact the chorus was
one of the best selected and one of
