about $50 90 from Red" Warren week
ago Sunday. repented his actions on
Monday and returned Mr.. Warren the
amount Of money stolen as we'll as the
keys and pistol that he had taken. 1t

the officers were too close on his trail
and thought it best to make restitution.
Danger, "Red' Warren's dog which

News OF OLD TOWN

Charles Early was arrested by Con-
stable Newsom> on Friday last, charged
with petit larceny. Charles had pur-
loined % sticks of dynamite from one OF
the railroad contractors, and had
brought it into the state of Idaho, and
cached it under q pile Of lumber near
the Dougherty saloon. He attempted
to have another party try to peddle the
dangerous stuff, but when he went to
get it be found that the plant was gone.
James Wilcox, of the DoughertY saloon,
had discovered what the man had under
the lumber pile and notified Deputy
Ensley, and the latter removed the pow
der and stored it IN an ice house for safe
keeping. Early was brought before JUS
tice Warmer for trial in the'afternoon.
HIS evidence did not hold together well,
so the justice gave him $40 fine to
allow him to think over the combina-
ton of %, Early and dynamite and Con-
stable Newsom took him to Standpoint
on the evening train.
The life of justice of the peace is
sometimes as strenuous in Old Town as
that of police officer. Justice Warri-
mel had a little experience on Tuesday
morning with big Irishman named
James Craney- Along about 9 O'Clock
he noticed Craney beating a man named
Abeldt over the back with club and
tried to find an officer to have the mat
ter attended to. He failed to find any
one and by the time that he returned
from his quest the parties having the
trouble had disappeared. Shortly after,
while watching the departure of the
Spokane, somebody called his attention
to two men at the Appel Bros pole
dock, and told him that he thought one
OF the parties was being rolled for his
money. He soon saw that the under
man was about to be rolled down the
pole chute, which is about 100 feet long
and very steep, with the lower end pro
jecting into the river
Warmer ran towards the chute, bu
before he, reached the top the man haG

The last man to start reached the bottom

having caught on some nails. Warrine

down the hill. He was finally over
powered and taken to the Jail.

ODD GIFT FOR CANNON.

Speaker of the House Received Stick
of Licorice From New Yorker.
One of the most curious gifts that
have ever been received by Speaker
Cannon came to him recently from A.
w. Ten Eyck of New York. 1t was a
small stick of licorice inclosed in a
common envelope without a word of
comment, says Washington dispatch
The package lay in the New York post
office for ten days because of INSULT
Gent postage. 1t was finally forward
ed by Postmaster Morgan and opened
by L. Whyte Busbey, the speakers
secretary.
The round tube of licorice was exam
ined gingerly before it was shown to
the speaker in order that it's identity
might be fully determined
'sIt might be bomb" was the sug
Ngestion made by visitor to the speak
er's room.
NO" answered Mr. Cannon. at was
probably sent by some friend to break
me of the tobacco habit"
Mr.. Busbey says that the licorice is
one of the strangest bits of CORE
spondence he has ever been called on
to answer. Some time ago a match
and piece of bologna sausage were
sent to the speaker, but the name of
the sender was not given.

For nearly ten years he ran with the
old volunteer firemen, fought through
the civil war with the Ellsworth fire
zouaves and saw the gallant colonel
of that organization shot. He was
himself wounded at the battle Of Bull
Run. AS deputy sheriff he arrested
William M. Tweed and Comptroller
Connolly and guarded the latter in his
Incarceration in Ludlow street jail. He
enlisted in the famous Walker filibus-
tering expedition. was one of thu first
three men to walk over the Brooklyn
bridge and stood guard before the
stand on which General Butler and
Horace Greeley spoke in City Hall
park.
The old janitor always took great
delight in telling of his joining the
Walker expedition. He and several
Of his friends attended a meeting in
the Bowery theater one night, at
which Generar Walker spoke. They
became so enthused with his account
of the possibilities of his venture that
they enlisted on the spot. On the
way down the bay when the expedi-
ton started Marty and his compan-
ions dubbed over with the fun of the
thing and made so much disturbance
and played so many tricks on the boat
that they were put ashore at Sandy
Hook. ut was in January, and it took
us three days to get home, but never
have been sorry that they put us off
the boat" he would say. He also al
ways congratulated himself, with good
reason, on the failure of another sea-
faring experience. He was engaged to
fill vacancy on the steamship Pacific
and had gone ON board when the man
whose place he was to fill turned up.
Reese was told that he would not be
wanted. He went ashore much disap-
pointed. The boat sailed and was new
er heard of again.
The pension question was always a
sore spot to Reese. A man who knew
of his having been wounded in the
war asked him with surprise once why
he had never applied for a pension.
"Why should I?' the old man replied.
Il have always been Disguised with
the number of undeserving people who
receive pensions. Do you realize that
the amount of money already spent by
the country in pensions exceeds the
cost of the WARP"
One day Reese was asked what was
the most exciting scene he ever saw in
City Hall park. "The Greeley-Butler
meeting" he replied promptly. "It
was just after the war, and the people
were very excitable. There was big
crowd, and the police and we deputies
were out in full force. The people
heard Greeley through all right, but
when Butler got up he was Kissed and
hooted, and we looked for serious trou-
BILE. Several missiles were thrown on
to the platform, and one Of them. a
sound apple, struck on the table be-
side which the general was standing.
He instantly picked it up. took out his
knife and peeled, halved, quartered
and ate 1t, coolIy waiting for the dis
turbance to die down. / have always
thought that act saved his life. was
told later that there were several men
in the crowd with revolvers who had
come to the meeting to kill the gen.
eral. His GOODNESS completely won
over the crowd, however"
