ESCAPED CONVICT
DEPUTY SHERIFF,
Model Citizen for Eleven Years
Identity Disclosed by Former
Fellow Prisoner.

Williams, Ariz.-'No necessity for
that" said Prank Sherlock, as H q.
Woods, a ranger, covered him with a
revolver and declared him under ar
rest. Sherlock had been recognized
as Charles BLY,, a convict who rode
away from the New Mexico peni-
tentiary on the warden's horse eIev-
en- years ago.
Ever since his escape the fugitive
has lived an exen. 1Iary life. For
eight years he served as a deputy
sheriff of Mojave County, and in that
time had run down many desperate
criminals. He was held in the high
est esteem by his fellow townsmen,
and the revelation that be was an
escaped convict came as a shock to
the entire community.
Recently Sherlock became a sue
cessfuI contractor and secured con-
tracts at Nelson, 'riz. A workman
in tattered clothes approached him
later and appealed to him for work.
A moment later the stranger extend
ed his hand and said: why, hello,
how are you?" The supposed strang-
er was a fellow convict who had
served in the penitentiary when
Sherlock alias Bly,, made his escape.

charged him later
This incensed the ex-convict and
he betrayed Sherlock. The next day
Captain Christian, of the New Mexi-
co penitentiary arrived and started
tor Sante Fe 18th Sherlock, where
he has two years to serve on a four
year sentence for horse stealing. Be
cause of his exemplary life the citi-
ems of Lis home town will make an
effort to secure his pardon.

WIRELESS RAYS A
MENACE TO HEALTH.
VIII Probably Cause Some Myste.
riOuS Disease Like the
X-Rays Did.

LonCon, England.-It is now as
serted that wireless telegraphy may
turn OFT to be a menace to health Of
the human race.
Basing his alarming suggestion on
the Iact that the Admiralty is now
sending messages to the British feet
a, sea by means of a wireless tele-
graphic apparatus erected at the
navy Headquarters in Whitehall, a
well-knOwn scientist says:
This means that ether waves are
being Iet loose IN one OF the densest
parts of London, in nay opinion a
most dangerous experiment, consid-
ering the totally unsupported re-
suits produced by X-rays. which are
only another form of ether waves,
upon people coming into frequent
contact with them.
With this wireless system once
use the people not only of Lon
don, but of all England, will be con-
tinually subjected to these mystic
rious and little understood ether dis
turbances, with possibly calamitous
results in the shape OF some fearful
and obscure disease akin to that
caused by X-rays."
Professor Sir William Crookes,
when consulted on the subject, i'm
mediately admitted the possibility OF
the wireless rays being injurious.
Marconi rays and X-ray:," he
said, are both vibrations of ether.
The X-Rays did not produce any in
curious effect for some years, and
the fact that they were at all dam
gerOus was not suspected. Personal
ly, though l have worked with the
X-rays from the beginning, l have
escaped harm. 1t is possible that
the wireless rays may have an Ill eff
feet upon people constantly subjected
TO them, though | have not heard of
case yet"
A professor at Kings College said:
1T is so uncertain at present in
what way the Arrays generate skin
disease that | should not care to
af1rm that wireless rays have no such
effect. For a considerable time no one
imagined the X-rays to be harmful
and then several bad cases occurred.
1t is impossible to be sure that the
Marconi waves are not injurious,
when we know that the X-ray ether
waves are so dangerous. 1t cannot
be denied that another set of ether
waves night have their own special
action upon the human system. II
might be undiscovered for years.
Experiment alone can determine
whether these wireless rays are
harmless or not"

London, England.-An observing
reporter of local daily on oYerhear-

merits of their pet dogs teeth at the
Peking Palace Dog Show, started up
on a tour of investigation among
fashionable West End dentists and
made the important discovery that
several well known dental surgeons
made large income by attending to
the teeth of their clients pet dogs.
Said one:
Il frequently attend to the teeth
of pet dogs belonging to my clients,
and that practice is common in our
profession. Scraping dogs teeth is
simple enough and almost painful
operation. / have on several Occa-
siOns cleaned a dogs hollow tooth

false teeth, and the dog soon got rid
of them. The instruments are the
same that we use for human beings.

country to make a special feature of

it is believed, would cause people to

Chicago, August 29.-Before the larg- est crowd that ever witnessed a base ball game in Chicago, the New York team lost the second game of the series today to Chicago. Brown and Mathew son, two of the leading pitchers in the country, were opposed to each other In the combat. Both pitched wonderful ball and had gilt-edge support, as neither team made an error during the exciting contest For three innings the worlds champions could not touch Mathewson, but in the fourth inning they got to him for six hits that netted three runs and won the game. Brown lacked control in the first inning and New York got three hits and scored one run. New York scored again in the fifth on singles by Tenny and Doyle, the former scoring on Donlin's long fly to Schekard. Neither side scored after this inning.
 As a result of Chicagos victory over New York today and the even break between Pittsburg and Philadelphia, greater interest Is added to the race for the National league pennant. Chicago and Pittsb burg are tied for second place, with New York but a game and half ahead of them.

By the middle of the forenoon crowds began to gather in front of the en- frances and at noon when the gates were opened, thousands were packed and damned in and about the park. The crowd was great that traffic in the streets around the park was greatly fmpeded. At o'clock every seat was filled except the box seats, which were held in reserve The attendance was estimated at over 30, ,000.
 cordon of policemen completely encrcled the playing field and kept the crowd from encroaching on the dia- mond. The crowd became so great that sh ortly after o'clock the management decided to close the gates. Hundreds were left standing on the outside and they became so insistent and eager to see the game that after short while the gates were reopened and the crowds continued to pour through the grand stand onto the field.

 New Orleans, August 29.-The Pelicans played through another rather uninter- esting contest with Breitenstein on the mound against Birmingham and blanked the Barons 2 to 0.
 The appearance of Duplain, local semi-profession outfelder in the ranks of the Barons added interest to the bout, and no complaint could be found with the visitors outfeld. It was the frayed performance of their infied Mat filled the visitors column of woe. Shortstop Downev and Third Sacker Larsen being especially bad.
 It was a game which belonged to the Pelicans from the start Raub found the veteran twice during the contest. Doug- lass and Robertaile annexed the only other hits made by the Barons off Brett enstein. The Birmingham backstop laced out a single to left in the first inning after two were down Duplain failed to hit at all and though Douglass pried opened the second period for Birming- ham by bingling, he could not get furth- CT than second Robertaille rapped sin gle to center, starting the third, but again. nothing followed, only three more men coming up.
 Breitenstein didn't walk anyone and showed great control at all times. Raub was the only other visitor to reach first, his single to right after two down in the ninth being productive of nothing.
 Robertaille didn't pitch bad game and can lawfully lay the blame at his field CTS door. The left wing of the Baron advance guard wavered in the second and third innings, the locals counting a man in each.
 Matty opened the second with single to left, was sacrificed to second and scored when Downey fielded Nill's fast roller wildly to first. But it was in the third that the Barons erred worse, base oh balls to Rickert, stolen sack follow ed by Larsen booting grounders hit by 'Rohe and Dexter, resulted in Rickert journeying around and counting the other run. Matthews forced Dexter at second, putting Rohe on third and the latter was tossed out at the plate by Lou Walters when a double steal was daringly at tempted.
 Another attempt to coiiiiiiil ooopie i"i ceny was made in the eighth by the Orleanians, Dexter and Dundon singing with a strike out sandwiched in between after Rohe had flied out, but the entire Birmingham team ran up when Dexter had been caught between third and home and he was finally put out.
