men approached him he stopped them
Cañon City record., 1907-05-16

They said they were going home. Hart
nett then asked one OF the men who
was later identified as Keaung. what
his name was. Keating replied:
John Kelly"
nett of the other man.
Fred Baker" was the reply.
The man giving the name of Baker
opened his coat as he spoke and Hart
nett caught sight of q revolver. He
at once struck the man across the face
with his club, knocking him senseless.
Keating turned and ran but was
brought to a halt by Hartnett's threat
to shoot him If he did not stop.
According to the story printed by
the Journal, Hartnett waited until the
man who was afterwards declared to
be Meyer. recovered his senses and
then marched both men to the patrol
box at Wood and Madison streets,
where he was Joined by Patrolman
Thomas Hennessy. who is still con-
nected with the Lake street station.
Here Keating made an attempt to es-
cape but was recaptured. Both men
were then taken to the Lake street
station. There, according to the
Journal. Meyer first gave the name
of Fred Baker and then said his name
was Charles Meyer. Heating made
no further attempt to conceal his iden-
tity and made full confession of the
crimes enumerated above.
The two men we're later held to the
grand jury in bonds OF 5000 each by
Justice C. J. White at the Desplaines
street police station.
January 26. 1886, the men were SEN
fenced to Joliet penitentiary, Heating
for two years, and Meyer for one year.
The charge on which the sentence was
based was the burglary Of Larson's
clothing store at II West Lake street.
Lieutenant Hartnett today corrob-
GRATED all OF the facts given above
and said that he had been told after
wards that Meyer declared that had
Hartnett been little slower with his
club he would have been killed.
Hartnett said today:

saloons by shooting pool balls into the
pockets with his revolver and he had

to Pueblo on the top of a passenger
train. He denied any knowledge of
the murder. Undersherin O'Leary
brought the prisoner to Pueblo on an
early train yesterday and he was taken
to the city Jail.
1t Is a disputed question as to wheth-
er the police. II they secure enough

in the court of this county. A crimi-
nal must be tried for his offense In
the county In which 1t is committed

found in Pueblo county, It Is likely
that he was killed while the train was
passing through Fremont county.
Some attorneys claim that Fremont

the general reputation at that time of
being bad man"
John Keating died while a convict
in the Joliet prison, and one Of his
brothers. Charles Keating, who is now
a prisoner in the county jail. said to-
day:
I'VE always knew that Charles H.
Meyer, president OF the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. was the man who
was sent to the penitentiary with ny
brother Johnny. 1 don't remember hin,
myself, but he used to go with my
sister. and I have often heard my
folks speak of him. After Meyer got
out of the penitentiary he used to
write to mutual acquaintance, Sam
uel Williams, and Sam used to read
the letters to US. One time Sam came
over with a paper telling how Charley
Meyer had been made the head of the
miners union"
Mrs. Keating, the mother of John
Keating. today accuses Meyer of being
the cause of her sons downfall. She
said:
Charley Meyer left Chicago as soon
as he got out Of the penitentiary. but
for a long time he wrote to Sam Will
liams, who lived next door to US and
Williams used to read us his letters.
Williams later went to Missouri and
We have not heard from him since"
The Journal also prints a story dat
ed Boone, owa, which is substantially
as follows:
Frank s. Meyer, chief OF police Of
Boone for four years and now a con-
ductor on a street car line here. is a
brother of Charles H. Meyer. He said
today to a Journal reporter: I heard
that Charles got into trouble in Chi
cago once and was arrested. The less
said about it the better. | know that
Charley went to Chicago in 1884 or
1885 and was gone about a year and
a half. l did not hear from him dur
ing that time. Later Charley went to
DeadwoOd and then to Denver have
also heard Charley speak of Sam
Williams. but l never saw Williams
myself"
1t appears that the Pinkerton De-
tective agency soon after the arrest
Of Mr. Meyer became aware that a
man named Charles II. Meyer had
been in the penitentiary at Joliet. OPP
eratives were set to work to collect
evidence as to the identity OF the con-
vict. Charles H. Meyer. for the pur-
pose OF introducing 1t at the trial Of
the president OF the Western Fedora
ton OF Miners in certain contin-
gency No evidence on the subject
can be introduced unless an attempt
is made to show good character. If
this be done at the trial OF Meyer, wit
nesses will be on hand to show that
the president OF the miners union is
the Charles H. Meyer who served a
term In Joliet penitentiary for burg
larry. II Meyer was at work In the
Black Hills In 1886 and can produce
proof to show the fact the jury will
have before them the fact OF the pre-
ponderance OF evidence.

Wit and humor are such elemental,

arises between the ideal and the fact.

promise and performance. and perhaps
1t might be added that it Is always or
almost always a moral incongruity. In
