CONVICT HAD PLAN TO ROB
NORTHERN PACIFIC Elk.
PRESS OF $4,000
Detectives Run Plot to Earth and Con.
meet Convict in Penitentitary
With Crime

Special detectives of the Northern
Pacific who have been working on the
case for months have finally estab-
lished the fact that the c. T. Kelly,
received at the state penitentiary
few days ago from Bellingham, to serve
an eight-year sentence for forgery, is
the same man who made an attempt
to rob the company of $4,000 by the
means of a clever scheme that might
have worked had not Kelly, hard-up
for money, forged an order for $1,000
and attempted to pass it in Belling-
ham.
AS c. T. Kelly he was a telegraph
operator at Missoula, Mont, but left
the employ Of the Northern Pacific at
the time of the strike in September.
Soon after that he went to Ham,
ilton, Mont, where he circulated the
report that he mad received $4,000
from a man whom several months be-
fore he had grub-staked to go to Ne
vada
In a few days he went to the ex-
press office with a package Of money
which he wished expressed to banker
in New York He showed some of
the money in the bank and took a re-
ceipt from the agent for the $4,000.
When the box arrived in New York
there was nothing but waste paper in
it. Kelly hired attorneys to bring suit
against the company for the money,
but did not prosecute the case. The
detectives of the company were put
on the case and followed Kelly to
Bellingham, where he was arrested.
Before he was sent to the penitentiary
he was identified by man who had
known him in Montana.

there seem like feverish rush,
and the simple pleasures INDUCED in
during the nine days Of posadas in
Mexico are returned to with a certain
measure Of relief.
A posada is an inn, and the idea per-
vading these festivities is that story.

er, wished to know the number Of peo-
pie who bowed beneath his scepter.
In order to determine the fact he de-
creed that q census should be taken Of
all the nations composing the great
Roman empire. To effect this Angus
tus sent twentyfour commissioners to
the different parts Of his world. The
edict commanded that every person,
rich or poor, weak or strong, should go
to the place of his birth or to the orig
inal place of his family to have his or
try.
Joseph and Mary, who were both OF
the royal house Of David, went to the
town Of Bethlehem. They found it SO
full of people on the same mission that
they wandered about the town for nine
days seeking shelter. On the ninth day
they were allowed to stay in the stable
of posada, and there the Nino Santo,
or Holy Child, was born. The posadas
are held for nine evenings In commem-
grafton Of those weary Gays.
OF course there are miserable homes
where no sign Of posada is held, but
Mexicans, rich and poor, are generous.
No matter how dirty and ragged, every
one is welcome in the churches, beauti-
fully decorated, and at the nightly po-
sadas held in them, though there the
penatas are omitted, as the celebra-
lions are entirely of religious nature.

He added: I'VE cannot say how ex-
tensive it will be, but it will certainly
cover all records pertaining to Min

laid down by the legislature, and if any
