Christmas Mail Burned.
Alliance, Neb., Dec. "a, 1905

Alliance, Neb., Dec. "a, 1909.
Postmaster, Custer, S. D.
Sir On the morning of December
22nd, fire occurred in mail car No.
100 of the Alliance and Denver K. ?.
o., caused by the explosion of an oil
lamp.
Three sacks of partly burned mail,
End, 3rd and 4th class, was brought to
this office. l sorted out, tied up and dis
patched to its destination enough to fill
one large tie sack. All this mail seems
to have originated at Lead, Deadwood,
Hot Springs and other Black Hills Of
fees, and was made up on the D. & L.
r. P. o. There are in this Office the re-
mains of probably 200 packages, on
which the address is destroyed, and the
contents partly burned. They consist
of slippers, gloves, shawls, hosiery, fancy
work, toys, cheap jewelry and all kinds
of junk imaginable.
Now you will doubtless have endless
inquiries from senders for articles 'lost
in the mails" and the mails will be full
of form No. 1910 A majority of these
tracers can be terminated right here.
For instance, if Mrs. Smith wants to
know what became of the large pair of
felt slippers which she sent to her son
at Reno, Nevada, they are here partly
burned; or Mrs. Jones wants to know
why the little rubber doll, with a tag
reading "for Jessie" did not get to her
grandmother, it is here in good condi-
ton.
I write you about this because you can
make many explanations and lift suspi-
cion which might rest upon postoffice
clerks and railway postal clerks along
the routes this mail would travel These
packages we're all destined for Nevada,
Utah, Colorado, California aud Ari-
zona Offices. That is, all that still had
decipheral addresses on them, also a
| few for Oregon. ~
Very Respectfully,
IRA E. TAsH,
Postmaster.

Fake Agent In Jail.

Pierre Dakotan: Herbert Gregory,
Examiner for the Insurance Depart
ment, was in the city yesterday. He
had just returned from Alexandria
where he was instrumental, through the
aid of the states attorney of Hanson
county, in having bound over to the cir
cult court Z. NJ. McCallum, who has 80
licited insurance in that county without
a certificate of authority from the De-
partment, and for a company not licens-
ed to do business in South Dakota.
The defendant was bound over on one
count, but there are a dozen or more
similar charges to be brought against
him. When Mr.. Gregory left Alexan-
dria, McCallum had failed to secure
bonds and was locked up in the county
Jail.

TEMPERATURE DRIVES
THOUSANDS TO BEACHES
Visitors from Arizona, New Mex
iCo and Nevada Flock to
Seaside Resorts

Twenty thousand Arizona, New
Mexico and Nevada persons have come
to Los Angeles to escape the high
temperatures in those states and to
enjoy the seaside attractions at the
many resorts near Los Angeles. This
estimate was made yesterday by Of
ficials of the Southern Pacific and
Santa Fe companies. A perceptible
increase in the influx from Arizona is
attributed largely to the cutoff re-
Gently completed by the Santa Fe.
Within a month the rush of colonists
will begin. The dates on which col
onist tickets will be on sale have been
changed, according to advices received
yesterday. They will be sold from
August % to September 8, inclusive,
and from October 1 to Is, inclusive.
The rate from Missouri river points to
Los Angeles will be the same as last
year-$25.
Already the railway companies
which will benefit by the rush west
ward are preparing for it. 1t is be-
lieved that when the last ticket is sold
the totals will show a great increase
over those of previous years. Weather
conditions in the middle west and east
have been so unsettled for months
that it is believed thousands will seek
new homes in sunny Southern Cali
fOrnia.

RANCHMAN ARRESTED
ON CHARGE or DIGAMY
E. J. Baugh's Wife Maintains He
Is Married to Another
Woman

Accused in a complaint sworn to by
his wife, Katie L. Baugh, charging
him with having another wife, Ed
ward ]. Baugh, A years old, a ranch
laborer, employed on the Kast ranch,
near Wilmington, was arrested by
Frank p. Cochran, constable, and Jack
Johnston, deputy constable, last night,
brought to Los Angeles and locked
up in the county Jail on charge of
bigamy. Baugh declined to discuss
the charges against him, but denied
that he Mad more than one wife liV-
ing.
The information that resulted in
the arrest of the accused was fur
nished Cochran several days ago by
Mrs. Katie L. Baugh, who appeared
at Justice Baird's court and stated
that her husband was married to
another woman. She satisfied the au-
thorities as to the probable correctness
of her statements and a complaint was
issued by Justice Baird yesterday af-
ternoon charging Baugh with bigamy.
Cochran and Johnston finally locat-
ed the accused at the Kast ranch and
arrested him just as Baugh was pre-
pairing to quit work on harvester
which he has been operating.
Baugh probably will be arraigned in
court this morning.

PERFECTS ORGANIZATION
To Make Aggressive Effort to Sc
cure international Petro-
Ieum Congress

Preparations for an aggressive, con.
vention-seeking campaign were made
yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the
executive committee of the Convention
league. One of the first important
gatherings which the Convention league
will go after at once is the Interna-
tional Petroleum congress.
California already ranks as one of the
great oil producing states in the Union.
It's prominence in this respect, men,
bers of the league assert, will be a
powerful factor in getting the conven-
tion for Los Angeles.
At yesterdays meeting NJ. H. Flint,
George w. Won Ache, H. 2. Osborne,
Louis M. Cole, Charles H. Toll, w. G..
Hutchinson, John ]. Jenkins, John s.
Mitchell, Frank Virgins and f. ].

mittee effected q permanent organiZa-
tion by electing M. H. Flint chairman;
Charles H. Tell, chairman of the COM
mittee of finance; l.. M. Cole, chairman
of the committee on membership; John
j. jenkins, chairman of the committee
on hotels, and f. j. Zeehandelaar r,
chairman of the committee on pub
licity.
The executive committee decided that
the first campaign in behalf of the
league will be for members. An effort
will be made to get 1000 members with
in two weeks. The campaign for sub
scriptions will follow. Applications for
membership will be received at the
Chamber of Commerce and by mem
bers of the board of directors.
1t is not the purpose of the league
to overlook any convention, large or
small, that may be induced to come to
Los Angeles Any of the directors or
the secretary will appreciate informa-
tion regarding conventions that may be
brought to Los Angeles.
