charge of robbing a Mexican. 1t ap-
pears from the complaint that Fran

Chesney. George Thompson and John
Doe. Hackney and Chesney are in
Jail, and the officers are looking for
Messrs Thompson and Doe.

toms" where some one of them
bumped him on the head with blunt
instrument and relieved him of every
thing in his pockets. His pocket knife
was found on Chesney when arrested,
and Chesney seemed greatly surprised
to find it there. He showed greater
surprise than did the officers.

concealed weapons-the second fine

and paid the same.

fore the court of Topeka this morn

TRUTH ABOUT PEG LEG MINE.
"POet Lariat" of Arizona Writes About
 the Historic Myth.

NJ. M. Rice, ''Poet Lariat" of Ari- zona, who is now living at Fairbanks, Alaska, has written an article en- titled "True Story of the Peg Leg Mine," which is probably the first authentic account of old Peg Leg'' Smith and his fabulously rich ore specimens that has eyer been pub lished. The article was published in a recent issue of the Fairbanks Times, and is as follows:
 The recent telegraphic reports de- tailing the discovery of the famous Peg Leg mine, on the Colorado desert in Southern California is but an annual repitition of that mo- torious fiction.
 The writer of this article has spent the major portion of nine long years chasing this desert phantom, suffer- ing hardships and privations, inde- scribable and inconceivable, and yet I was but a unit of hundreds of ad- venturous spirits who banked faith and risked life in an endeavor to locate the place where the ubiquit- ous "Peg Leg Smith'' punched the impression of his wooden leg into the verureless soil of the Colorado desert.
 That ''Peg Leg Smith' was no myth, but real human parsonage and enigma, can be attested by men living today, and that he brought in- to civilized settlements rich speci- mems of gold ore, from time to time during his brief and checkered career, is susceptible of proof by reliable authority.
 The Hon. Charles Brinley, resi- dent of Yuma, Arizona, and gentle man not given to delusions, whose word is unquestionable, knew Smith and on divers occasions saw and handled the ore that "Peg Leg" found on the desert. MT. Brin- ley has been resident of Yuma for fifty years, coming in the quarter masters department when the post was first established.
