want to compliment you on the
newsy paper you are getting out
during my absence. Very few peo'
Pile know how hard 1t is to publish a
| daily paper In a town the size OF
Mexico. Many times the paper will
lose from $50 to 500 a week, and
is a terrible draw on the income from
the weekly and job department all
the time. No daily paper in Mexico
ever made expenes. The people all
seem to want a daily and take it for
granted that it makes money. Some
don't even subscribe for it for fear
the editor will get rich.
Mexico is on the dividing line be
tween a daily and weekly paper
town. As the town grows our people
became ore and more loyal to
daily and we feel confident that very
soon the Evening Ledger will be
able to so walk alone without lean
ing on the Weekly. It's lots of fur
in a daily, ever IL you can't make
any money out of it. AS we get old
err we think more of fun than we d.

rest there, as one of the four who

later made their escape. The authors
ties in Oklohoma have under arrest
IA man who is thought to be Conley
and who the description oil
the fourth man. They will leave for

Thos. w. Priest and John Burns, the
other three men, were arrested in st.
Charles by the Post office inspec'
tors on June 20. Priest was wound.
ed in this city in q battle with the
local officers two weeks previous
and who, nursing q wound, was the
cause of their falling into the hands
of the authorities at this time. His
two comrades made regular trips froI
st. Louis to his hiding place, ant
1t was whenmaking one of these Wis
its that they attracted the attenioI
Of the authorities, and were finally
arrested.
The detectives have been busily en-
gagged in working up evidence OF
Conn, alias Conley, alias Lewis, evel
since his escape.
An incident related by Mrs. Ern
est Boone, of Thompson, recently
brought to light some interesting evl
dence. She said that early in the
morning of June IL, a man came t.
her home and asked for some mill
and for something to eat for
sick man, which she gave. The MAJ
was in a box car at Thompson, sh'
was told by the visitor.
:. The same man, it is said, purchase
from a store at Thompson shirt
, and hats. A bloody shirt, cola
and tie were found about a half mil
down the track from the station. Thi
is the man, it is believed by the au
thorities, to be the one who has bee
arrested at Tulsa. He disclaim
any knowledge of the affair, and say
he knows nothing of the men uT
