Last Saturday night Annie
Schneider, sister of Remus
Schneider, and niece of Harm
Schneider, who lives south of
town, got off OF the west bound
passenger train, and was ac-
costed by five we'll known young
men of the town and enticed to
the garage south of the railroad
where she was assaulted. She
swore out warrant for their ar
rest but three of the boys escap-
ed while two are now in the coun-
ty jail. Early Monday morning
the girl was mysteriously spirit
ed away from the marshal 5
house in whose care she had been
placed and nothing has yet been
heard of her. Tuesday evening
a mass meeting was held at the
court house and large reward
is offered for the return of the
girl or any information concern
ing her whereabouts. Excite
ment is very high, and the crime
IS serious one, as the girl is
only IA years of age.

FELL lFROM BOX CAR
LIMBS so BADLY MANGLED As
TO NEcEssITATE THEIR
ANfPUTATIoN
HAS CHANGE FOR LIFE
RALLIES FROM oPERATlON-tEIS
BROTHER SAW HIM
RUN OVER

An awful accident befell L. H. Haz-
lett, a switchman in Las Vegas rail
road yard, at 1915 last night. which
has already cost him his two limbs
and may yet be the cause of his death.
While switching m the east end OF
the yard IN the immediate vicinity OF
the boiler house which supplies the
Castaneda hotel with steam heat. and
when in the act of setting brake ION
top of car, there was sudden COM
pact between two cars, with the Tesult
that HazIett lost his balance. He fell
violently to, the track below and under
the wheels of a moving car. Both
limbs were run over by. four ca1ls and
were a mass of jelly, lnangled and
bleeding, when he was rescued from
his perifons position by his own
brother, A. D. Ifazlett, who is night
yardmaster, and who witnessed the
accident from few feet distant. He
saw the brothers lantern extinguished
and at once rushed to his side and
asked what the trouble was, little
suspecting that such an accident had
befallen him. The injured brother re-
piled that something had struck him.
However, the tones of agony in which
he spoke told only too plainly that he
had been badly hurt. A moment after
the accident occurred, Switchman w.
G. Johnson, who was on duty with
Hazlett, saw the predicament in which
his fellow workman had been placed
and he had the presence of mind to
yell to him to lie perfectly still.
These words of warning probably
saved Hazlett from being ground to
pieces by the wheels, as he was try
ing to crawl from under the cars

humiliation, had he told the truth
IN the first place.
After generating the boys naamed
Chaves implicated boy named Julian
Gallegos, who was hunted up by Shar
Tiff Romero and Deputy Sena and
brought into court. The Gallegos boy
denied positively any connection with
the robbery and entered a plea of moi
guilty. At this juncture an adjourn.
ment was taken at noon until 2 O'Clock
this afternon, when the hearing OF
the two boys was resumed.
After continued questioning this
morning by District Attorney Ward,
who urged him to tell thestruth, the
Chayes boy finally broke down and
confessed that he committed the rob.
berry and offered to- go to the place
where he had hidden some of the loot
he secured from the Baker horne. Ac.
companied by Sheriff Romero and De
putty sena he first went to the old
Mission school on the West side,
where the revolver was found, and
then to his grandmother's home, where
the gold watch was recovered. Both
belonged to Mr.. Baker and were iden-
titled by him. These articles young
Chaves claimed were all that he tosk,
together with little money, which
he said he had spent The other ar
ticles taken he said were in the pos
fcontlnued on pace 81

|EFFEcTs OF OPERATION
FATAL TO A SENATOR


Fargo, N. d., Oct. 22.-United States
Senator Martin N. Johnson died in
this city last night. A week ago he
submitted to second operation for a
nasal trouble and was thought to be
doing we'll.
He had been a sufferer from
Bright's disease for years and had
complained in the last two days, but
reports were reassuring. His wife
and brother were present.
Senator Johnson was So years old,
He was a graduate of the Wisconsin
university and came to this state in
1882, devoting his attention to farm
ing. He was uiember of the con-
stitutional convention.

VICTIMS WERE TO BLAME
VENTURE BEYOND DEAD LINE

OCCURRED

Hartshorne, Okla, Oct. 22-Twelve OF
thirteen men caught in an explosion
yesterday in the Rock Island Coal
company mine here are dead and the
thirteenth is in a critical condition
All the bodies have been recovered.
The men are believed to have gone
beyond the dead line" with lighted
lamps in entering the mine, the lamps
igniting escaping gas. The fact that
Dan Hughes, a sub-boss, was with the
other men, suggests the theory that
the men were arranging the air
courses to carry out the gas when
one or more of them passed over the
dead line" Hughes was alive when
taken frsm the milne, Sut never re.

lbravely and was at once hurrled out
to the railroad hospital, where three
physicians were not long in deciding
that immediate amputation Of both
limbs was all that would save the
young mans life and then he would
have about even chances for recovery.
The limbs were taken off below the
knee and at last accounts the patient
was resting easy and doing as well
as could be expected considering the
nature of his injuries.
Hazlett's remark to his brother that
something had hit him gave rise to a
street rumor that wire stretched
across the track was responsible for
the accident, but there is no wire
within reaching distance in that vicin-
ity.
Another theory advanced for the
awful fall to almost certain death Is
that Hazlett had been struck with a
rock or other heavy missile, more for
the purpose of extinguishing the light
in his lantern than of doing him
bodily harm. A local switchman said
to an Optic reporter this afternoons
that devilment of this kind has fre4
quently occurred here, and he cited
an instance or two when stealthy at
tacks of this kind had nearly resulted
fatally.
After sitting all rumors and Con-
clusions to the bottom, the general
opinion is that Hazlett was pitched
headlong from the car by the foroe1of
the coming together OF cars.
'BilE' Adlon, who has sleeping
room in the foundry building, some
distance from the railroad track, was
awakened by what he at first thought
was a collision. Soon after the tcries
of the injured man were heard sand
Mr.. Adlon repaired to the scene Of
the accident as rapidly as possible.
However, a crowd of railroad men
were already doing everything pos
sible under the circumstances.
"Cy' Hazlett, as he is fanijliarly
known among his friends and asso-
ciates. is only about twenty-five
years of age and had been switching
in the local yards but few months.
However, he was competent and
usually very careful and no one
would have singled him out ass-ever
being the victim of an accident due
to his carelessness or want Of fore
thought. He is popular in railroad
circles and stands high in the COM
munity generally. He has made his
home with his brother and mother.

Faulkner and TRAHEY BOYS
not IMPLICATED in ROBBERY

This morning before Justice of the
Peace d. r.. Murray was held the pre-
iiminary hearing of Atanacio Chaves,
charged with larceny from dwell
ing, the complaint being made by
James R. Baker, whose home was rob-
bed day before yesterday. The
charges against jesse Faulkner and
John Trahey, who we're implicated by
Chayes as having assisted him in
committing the theft, were dismissed
on motion of District Attorney 9. W.
g. Ward, as it was shown these two
boys were in no way connected with
the robbery. Chaves, himself when
ne saw the jig was up. admitted he
had lied to the officers yesterday in
dragging the two boys into the mess,
and upon his testimony they were at
once discharged by the court
1t was learned today that the Faulk-
ner boy was in school on Wednesday
afternoon, the day the robbery was
committed, thus making it impossible
for him to have been implicated in it.
Although the Trahey boy played
hockey" on that day, he gave sat
isfactory account Of his whereabouts.
AS a result of the prevarieations of
the Chaves boy, the Trahey and Faulk-
ner boys were. made the victims Of an
