POSSE CAPTURES
PIER AT A RANCH
Alleged Slayer of Sheriff
Martin Had Stopped to
Get Ammunition
UoC ammunition.

Dalhart Texas, Jan 3O.-Doc Bolton
deputy United States marshal, has re-
turned from the scene Of the shooting
of sheriff r. z. Martin, of Hansford
county. He says that Pifer, the man
who shot the sheriff, was captured
southeast of Hansford, and was rushed
to the Canadian Jail for safe keeping.
Bolton had federal ejectment papers
to serve on Pifer, and had taken Mar
tin along to assist in the ejectment,
arriving at the ranch at o'clock on
the evening of the 26th. On the ar
rival at the house Martin called for
Pifer to come out and Pifer, it is said,
ran out the rear door and entered the
stable Both officers followed him,
and on reaching the open stable door
called again for Pifer. Instantly a
shotgun was thrust to the stomach
Of Martin and discharged, Martin re-
ceiving two shots of double B shot in
the abdomen, falling into the arms Of
marshal Bolton and expiring.
It is thought Pifer had no more am
munition and he jumped on his horse
and made for the breaks. Bolton re-
turned to Hansford and gave the alarm,
and a large number of Martins friends
returned to the ranch and conveyed
the body to Hansford.
Messengers were dispatched to sur
rounding towns and about noon word
came from q ranch south of Hansford
that Pifer had called there for am
munition, and shortly after a posse
captured him.
Pifer is unmarried and imagined. it
is said, that the whole world was
against him. He had been ordered off
the ranch twice, it is said, by state
courts, and this time by the federal
court

THINK MURDERER
rs NOW AT LARGE
Suspicion Prevails in Nor
mon Colony That Authori-
ties Are Not Keep
ing Faith.

Colonia Dublan, Mexico, Jan. 30.-It
| is said that one Of the Mexicans who
were convicted of the murder of Mrs.
Mortensen and Mr. Koch has con-
fessed to the crime. Two of them
were sentenced to death and the other
was sentenced to life Imprisonment.
but just what has become of them
seems to be a mystery. One report
SAYS that two OF them were taken to
Ciudad Juarez TO prevent lynching,
and the third has been set free again.
Men who know this man claim to have
seen him Saturday and yesterday.
1t is also stated that an American
went over to Casas Grandes to get a
photograph of the three men and the
jefe said yes, he could get it, that they
were all in the jail, but he did not get
the photograph.
The crime is thought to have been
committed in revenge for an imaginary
wrong. 1t is said that a couple of years
ago these same men broke into Mr..
Mortensen's house and stole some mon
ey. The boys followed up a clue and
convicted them, but they were never
punished. They, however, sWore ven
geance. and evidently have taken IT.
Mr.. Mortensen has befriended these
same Mexicans in many ways.
Yesterday a mad dog was seen upon
the streets Of Dublan. Seven dogs
were known to have been bitten. The
hydrophobia dog has been shot and
most Of its victims have also been sac
rificed. Some of the bitten dogs were
valuable animals.

get a passport for his teams and wag
ons he will go overland into the United
States Mexican colonists feel that 1T

ders.
George F. Sevey is down from the
camps and says work on the railroad
Is progressing, but Workmen are be-
coming more scarce all the time. The
railroad company has moved the pump
from kilometer SO to kilometer 1880
on Seveys works. AT kilometer SO
they had to go % feet down in the
river bed before they found a suitable
foundation upon which to build the
central pier of the bridge, and a six
inch centrifugal pump had to be work
ed all the time to lift the water so the
men could work. At it's present loca-
ton, 1880, they expect to go down
from 20 to 80 feet in the river bed be-
fore they can place their piers. This
company is building piers to five
bridges, and they expect to finish them
all within three weeks.

SCROFULA
HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by a swelling and liberation
of the glands, especially about the
neck. 1t is almost entirely hereditary
IN its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects In weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage of outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofula. It is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
circulation. S. S. S., in addition to

LA TOILETTE IN
WEST VIRGINIA
General Elliott Said to be Actlno For
the Wisconsin Senator Against
President Taft.

Washington, d. c., August 19.--It
viii be a surprise to great many
Republicans In West Virginia to leana
that the friends OF Senator LaFollette
and the so-called progressive Repub-
hcan league hope to secure a portion
of the delegates from West Virginia
in the national Republican cenven-
ton. Very quietly some OF these men
have been at work, and have come in
touch with number OF prominent
West Virginia Republicans. Possibly
the one who has been most active, at
least the one who has most often
be n in conference with Senator La.
Toilette. has been General c. d. FL
lott, now adjutant general of the
state, and former United States mar
shall. II Is understood that Mr.. El.
l:ott has undertaken to look after the
IaF'ollette interests In West Virginia,
This will be a surprise to good
many people who counted Elliott as
machine politician OF the most pro
aunced type. In the past few weeks
Mr. Elliott has been in Washington
number OF times. and on each ocea-
sion has been in conference with
LaFollette's friends II is said. also
that Mr., Elliott Is nursing al ambi-
ton to go to the United States SEN
ate, aud he counts upon the strength
OF the LaFollette movement as a
means to land him in the place now
occupied by c. w Watson.
AT one time 1t was supposed that
Ex-Governor Dawson. and probably
Hon w. p Hubbard, would take an
active part in a movement against
President Taft in West Visginia, but
neither of these gentlemen, it s I'M
derstood. is disposed to support La.
Toilette, and Mr.. Hubbard is counted
a Taft man, although his friends be-
lieve he has a personal grievance
against the president The very large
majority of West Virginia Republic
cans who come TO Washington agree
that IL will be impossible to defeat
Mr.. Taft in West Virginia. Practi-
cally all Of them expect that the dele
gates from the Mountain State will
go instructed TO vote for the re-
nomination OF the president. Mr..
Elliott's activity may create some
diversion but 1t is not expected to
be serious.
