JAIL

Louisa HoopIe, Led Her to Loan
Him $4o0-charges He

Mrs. Hoople told the officers she first
met Hoople, wtc is veteran of the Civil

she said, Dauphin borrowed $500 from her,
giving in return a note, in which 1t was
stipulated she should have his monthly
pension, $40. unit. the note was paid, with
interest.
The loan, she says, was to be used by
Dauphin to purchase a barber shop under
the Inman hotel. A few days later, she
asserts, he borrowed 800 and promised to
make out a note.
Il gave him the money and he promised
to have the note ready and signed by a
witness that day. said Mrs Hoople, but
srp to the present time have seen neither
my money nor the note. He seemed so
sincere in everything he did and said that
/ believed him. He is very impressive
man, both in manner and speech, and l
gave him the money without the least ap-
prehension.
The woman said she had saved the
money from the work of many years, and
Dauphin had left her with but 50 in her
possession
The theft of $685. she said, occurred last
Sunday. She accuses him of stealing the
note for $500 which he had signed some
days previously.

Dauphin was staying that morning" said
Mrs. Hoople, land when about to leave
invited him to my home for dinner
Dauphin said he would be glad to come
and I asked him to go to the house and
wait for me. giving him the key, while
went to market. 1t was not until the fol-
lowing day that discovered my loss
Mrs Hoople says she feels certain there
is woman acting with Dauphin to de-
fraud her.
The woman came from Illinois, where
she is said to have wealthy relatives.

FROM ALASKA TO CAPE HORN
A Pan-Amc can Railway. Greatest
Project of Its Kind.


Project of Its Kind.
The gray plover nests in the sedges
of Alaska, says E. B. Clark in the
Technical World; and when the shor'
summer wanes, it leads its young in
perilous flight southwark across plains
and mountain ranges and then, guild
ed by the coast-line, wings its way
steadily onward until it reaches Its
winter home in Patagonia. For more
than one-half of the immense distance
of Its migration the flight course OF
the gray plover is almost coinc. dent
with the surveyed line for the project
ed Pan-American railway, a CONNER
cial connection between the northern
and southern contiD ents that few
years ago was egarded as the dream
of enthusiasts, but which to-day has
passed far beyond the realm of vi
sions.
Men whose lives are well beh nd
them will probably live TO see tie day
when they can make an unbrolien rail
way journey from the River Yukon
in Alaska to the River iimay In Pata-
gonia. This journey from the north
to the south means more than the
travelling of an immense distance
within short space of time, tt.ougl'
this thought alone is impressive,
1t means the passing through alter
nate cold and heat. moisture and dry
ness, bare fields and green fields, tree
less plans and tropical forests, fertile
valleys and sterile mountains; II
means acquaintance with men of
every hue of skin and of every
habit of life, it means the wedding Of
