WILLIAMSBURG ROBBERS
ARE UNDER ARREST

AS result of descriptions of the
suspected parties sent broadcast over
the state by Sheriff Esser and his as
sistants. the men guilty of the robbery
OF the Williamsburg postoffice on the
night of May 18th. are under arrest at
Pueblo, having been taken into custody
by the police there on Sunday.
In addition to the robbery of the
postocice it will be remembered that
several pairs of shoes, some hosiery,
and other articles of merchandise.
were stolen from A. P. Easton's store
on the night In question, both crimes
having been committed by the same
persons. From the first Sheriff Esser
was sure that James E. Mitchell, a
former convict at the penitentiary. was
guilty of the burglary and to that con-
viction is due the arrest of the
thieves.
Mitchell was arrested by Ohdcer
Gray OF the Pueblo police force soon
after his arrival there Sunday after
noon and was locked up on suspicion.
In consequence of the sweating pro-
cess. to which he was submitted, he
made a confession in which he stated
that his pal in the Williamsburg rob-
berry was Frank Williams. alias Chas.
Gavin. The latter was soon located
and locked up. pending an investiga-
ton OF his connection with the affair.
George Wallace was also arrested
and given quarters in the Pueblo Jail
on the theory that he was associated in
the Williamsburg affair, but as Mitch
ell persists that he had nothing to do
with 1t the probabilities are that Wal

qua and Summer School has come to
our desk is a neat little volume of
A pages, we'll illustrated with typical

of the strongest and best balanced
platform programs and summer school
courses ever offered by any assembly.
There are only few great Chautau-

from a speculative instinct
The assembly at Boulder, Colorado,
is one OF the few which stands for
education and culture. Its session
opens July 4th. and continues for six
weeks. The Summer School opens
July Sth. and continues for Ave weeks.
Every effort Is made to have life on
the grounds as comfortable and as
nearly ideal as It can be made. The
choice Is offered between tent and cot
tage life.
The expenses are made just as rea-
sonable a. possible when proper re-
gard for quality is given. On the plat
form program We noted a number OF
such we'll known names rs Ben TIL

HAS SIX HUNDRED AND
THIRTY-SIX PRISONERS

There are 636 convicts in the peni-
tentiary here at the present time,
which is the maximum number reach
ed this year. AS the majority of the
criminal courts will shortly adjourn
for the summer months there will be
a gradual decrease on account Of pa
roles, discharges and deaths until the
middle of September or the first of
October, when the courts will resume
their grind and new convicts will be-
gin to come in again. There Is very
little sickness in the penitentiary now
and conditions generally are regarded
as very satisfactory. 1t is probable
that before the close of the calendar
year the prison enrolment will ap-
proximate 700.

CONDUCTED SERIES OF
INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS

The entertainment given at the First
Methodist church Friday night by Prof.
William B. Patty of Chicago, under
the auspices OF the Epworth League,
was replete with interesting scientific
experiments and fully redeemed the
high expectations of the audience
While the majority OF those present
knew in a vague sort Of way that
wireless telegraphy, radium and liquid
air were three of the most marvellous
subjects which have been revealed
through the achievements of modern
science, few Of them had seen any
actual demonstrations of their wonder
full power or thoroughly comprehended
their possibilities as agencies in the
material progress OF the human race
Professor Patty is a mater in the
domain OF applied science in addition
to being a most agreeable lecturer. a
combination that rendered the enter
tainment more than ordinarily in
structive and pleasing. He demon
strated the Marconi system of sending
messages through wireless space and
explained in a comprehensive manner
how II was done. He pointed out the
marvellous qualities of radium. elab-
Grating upon its inexhaustible light,
heat and energy, and conducted a
series OF intensely interesting expert
ments with liquid air. which is liquid
but dry: which melts steel, freezes
alcohol and boils on ice. Its tempera-
ture is 312 degrees below zero and II
freezes cloth until it breaks and
crackles in the hands like glass. Had
Prof. Patty lived In the middle ages
and practiced his experiments at that
time he would have been put to death
as a dealer in the black arts. Verify,
science Is more wonderful than the
Imagination.

Both Mitchell and Gavin have served
time in the penitentiary here. the lat
ter from Arapahoe county, from which
he was sent from seven to ten years.
He was released February 21, 1906.
The prisoners had on the shoes which
were stolen from Easton's store a
week ago Monday night and there is
no doubt of their guilt. The night Of
the robbery they boarded a Denver &
Rio Grande train and went to Buena
Vista, leaving the next morning for
Denver. where they "blew in" the
money they secured from the safe in
Easton's store. From Denver they
went to Pueblo, where they were taken
in charge by the police a few minutes
after their arrival.
Mitchell has bad reputation in po-
lice circles and is wanted at several
places, notably in Omaha, Neb., where
he is said to have cracked a safe a
few months ago and made his escape
with large sum of money. Sheriff
Esser, District Attorney Stump and A
P. Easton went to Pueblo at noon to-
day and will bring Mitchell and Gavin
here for trial II allowed to do so by
the federal authorities. Their arrest
was brought about by means of the
sheriff of this county and on that ac-
count the prisoners ought to be turned
over to him for punishment The gov

which case the trial would take place
in Pueblo. The postonice department
