WORKED A CUTE TRICK
Union Depot Police Officer Cunning
ly Thrown OF Track by
Smooth Man.

Yesterday union depot officers in
this city received a message from
Helper to be on the look out for a
man by the name of O'Conner who
had stolen a large sized railroad meal
ticket book in Helper and was want
ed by the officers there. 1t was
known that O'Connor in company
with another man had headed toward
Grand Junction.
Night officer Mahany was put on
his guard.
Some time during the evening two
men entered the local railroad eat
ing house and ordered suppers. In
payment one of the men produced a
meal ticket book, the eating house
people being next" refused to take
the book and notified officer Ma
hany. The officer Immediately ap-
preached the two strangers and
charging that one of them was o'Con-
nor announced his intention to arrest
him. One of the men said ''yes, am
O'Connor." He was taken in charge
by the officer and the other man quick
Iy disappeared. The man claiming to
be OConnor was lodged in the city
Jail. This morning 1t was learned
that the man in Jail was not o'Connor
at all but that the man who mad got
ten away was O'Connor. Believing
he could not be held on any charge
O'Connor's companion had lied to the
officer and told him that he was o.
Connor and in this way allowed the
real O'Connor to escape.
Naturally the man in Jail cannot
be held on any charge and will prob
ably be released today. He was pret-
ty accommodating to his guilty com
panion by claiming the latter's identi-
ty and thus allowing the guilty man
to get away.

Viscount Hayashi, the foreign min.
lister Of Japan, whose presence IN
Korea at this time supports Ito, in an
interview in the administrations pa
per, is understood to suggest a coun-
Gil of state, with power to act for the
elimination OF Interference 10y the
throne.
The censorship proclaimed over
Japanese press correspondence is de-
scribed a. precautionary on account
of the bitterness displayed toward
Ito's conservative course in reshaping
the destinies of Korea. Theaters.
amusement places and the markets
are now open for the first time in four
days. The situation in the capital is
promising. especially in consideration
of the fact that the stores of ammu.

troops are extremely small. Marquis
Ito expects valuable re~inforcements
of bluejackets from Japanese war
ships for emergency use.
