of those great problems is not much dis

bristling with laws giving protection to
American mechanical industry. And
ever since they have been enacted the
restless millions are pouring out of the

men and found that they had ex-
pressed suit case, answering the de-
scription of one stolen from the Red
Trunk. from Glenwood to Chicago.
They found the Chicago address. The
Chicago police Investigated and To-
Gated the suit case and a small por-
ton of the stolen oods at this address
but could find no further trace of the
men. The goods had evidently been
expressed to conferedate who had
departed before the police visited the
house.
However, few months later
Brophy and Lewis proceeded to hold
up the Red Light district of Florence,
Colo, and engaged in a pitched bat
tie. They were captured after a
thrilling fight. Revolvers, stolen
from the local hardware store, were
found in their possession. However,
they were held for trial in Canon
City for the holdup in that county.
While in the Fremont county Jail
awaiting trial Brophy made a sensa-
tion escape from the Jail. Efforts to
locate him were in vain. However,
one day box of beautiful flowers
came to the Jail, by express, for
Lewis, from a friend in Omaha"
The jailer was suspicious and making
careful examination of the flowers
he found a number of fine files hid
den among the roses and carnations.
There was every reason to believe
Brophy had sent the flowers to his
pal with the files secreted among
them. to furnish him with means of
escape. Through these flowers Bro
ply was traced to Omaha and recap
tured. In November, 1907, both men
were convicted of highway robbery
at Canon City and sent to the pen for
not less than . nor more than IA
years. Last night Brophy. whose real
name is st. John, had his sentence
terminated by death. Lewis did not
participate in the daring attempt at
escape and is alive today.

In the meantime, in the cell house
Convicts Johnson and Bradley were
exchanging shots with other guards
and in the fight johnson was killed
and the other convict badly wounded
With the death of johnson and
Brophy and the wounding of the 9TH

The greatest of excitement pre-
vailed throughout the prison.
The prisoners were taking the most
desperate chances and with but scant
hope of success.
How Brophy and his pals secured

Although but little over 22 years
of age at the time of his death Harry
Brophy's career of crime was one
terrible to contemplate. From the
office of Sheriff Schrader The SEN

ing the life and deeds of this youth
His real name was not Brophy. 1t
was Harold st. John. according to
the Chicago police He was born in
Canada and had college education.
He was good looking. very bright
and attractive young fellow. In 1906
he left Chicago for the West on a
career of crime. He was accompanied
by one Frank Farlan, whose present
whereabouts are unknown.
In Colorado the young man took
the name of Brophy and as far as
known his first criminal act in this
state was the robbery of the Schmidt

the year of 1907 He was aided in
this crime by Martin l.. Lewis. a des-

Ella SAYS NO
RATS ARE HERE

1t struck me last night on reading
| The Sentinei that some one must be
seem things, Having been in this
valley since the year one and having
seen the last departing Ute walk up
his tepee pole, mount his cayuse and
depart for the still farther west
with his &C" string floating out be-
hind; having seen the left wing" of
Prices army, and the Kansas suffer
ers as they wended their way down
the trail from the east, and kept in
toucn with this country quite closely
ever since, | have fancied | kept quite
well posted on the incoming popula-
tion,-human, enqulne, bovine, dog
swine and rodent, but | have never
yet in this country met rat. Mice
we have always had in numbers, but
rats, neyerl 1t has been one of my
boasts when east, that we had all the
good things here and many of the
pests, but no rats. OF course | do
not mean the mountain or so-called
trade" rat, (Which is really a squir-
reD ). but if the real genius rat, with
the long hairless tail, either the
British black rat or the gray Mormon
rat is here or has ever been here, |
have never seen or heard of him by
anyone VINO has seen him in this val
ley. Why they are not here has al
ways been mystery to me. Why,
with all the carloads of household
goods, grain and lumber that has
come in for years, no rats have come,
have never understood. | see that
former mayor of San Francisco
Schmidt. now serving sentence, is
charged among his other crimes with
having suppressed the fact that bou-
bonic plague infected that city at
time when it could have been stamp
ed out, and so allowed it to spread.
If we have lost the distinction of
having no rats among us we do not
want to suppress the fact, but should
go after and exterminate them,-but
first catch your rat.
We certainly have something real
on which war of determination
should be waged. This something is
the cause of the prevalent typhoid
fever. What is it? Cannot those
who have made such matters a study
give this subject such an investiga-
ton as will determine the cause and
the course to persue to eradicate it.
While at this time ii can hardly be
called an epidemic still 1t has made
desolate many homes in our city. 1t
| is said to be a filth disease entirely
| The cost of one life is too much to
pay for any disease caused by filth
which can be cleaned out when the
filth spot is once located. We can
not at this time attribute it's spread
to the housefly as is commonly done.
Soon the housefly will be with us in
numbers and the danger will be much
increased. The health department of
the city of Chicago has issued a pos
ter headed Speaking of Flies
which l endorse. 1t is timely and
possibly you may find space for 1t.
We sure have flies. We may have
rats, but l am from Missouri,-some
ways from 1t. w. p. Ella.

SEVEN-YEAR-OLD EGGS.

Eggs is eggs whether they be one
month old or older or chickens, but
there is an egg over here in Charles
ton that is entitled to more than pass
ing notice. 1t is one laid long time
ago, from all indications, and proof
of its antiquity remains in the shell,
for there is no one who cares to make
the crucial test.
To explain the egg matter it is
only necessary to remark that yester-
day householder went to his grocer
and bought some eggs. He insisted
on getting the fresh product for he
said he would eat most of them him
self. When the delivery was made
it was found that one of the eggs
had been fresh something like seven
years ago, for on the shell was this
inscription:

for stay of several weeks during

Mr.. Lakin will stay at Rosedale,
Florida, until about the first of April
when it is hoped that his condition
will be much improved.
President Lakin has for some time
been intending to go to Florida for
rest and recreation, and as Cover
nor Glasscock's health has not been
of the best recently, he was induced
to accompany Mr.. Lakin in the hopes
that the climate at Rosedale will
prove beneficial.
For ten days past the chief execu-
tive has been unable to spend much
time in his Offices and for the past
week has been confined to his home
his health, frail at the best has been
affected by much strenuous work, but
the stay at Rosedale, he hopes, will
restore the best of health to him.
