FINE BUNCH OF PleeERs
GUILTY SPOKEN S TIMES

Justice A. P. Folsom had a bunch of
guilty bootlegeers before him the past
week and four of the fellows had the
good sense to plead thus. :
Henry Weinrebe, who was very saucy
last week when arrested, got quite
tame when he found out that the
authorities had large quantities of
evidence" against him and pleaded
guilty.
Louis Schweat, John A. johnson and
Ed. Hickman also decided that they
were guilty.
S. M. Wilson was not quite ready to
plead and his case was continued until
the 18th. There are at least six wit
nesses that can testify to Wilson s
violation of the prohibition law. He
is supposed to he the fellow who rented
an empty house in the northeastern
part of the city just short time before
his arrest and all the other pieeers
made this house headquarters for sup
plies etc. Sheriff j. A. Wiech and
Policeman Joe Carroll helped to gather
in part of this tough bunch and seized
barrel or 80 of whiskey and other wet
goods. p. B. .Corbett, chief of police,
also gathered in some of the fellows
and in every instance he had the evil
dence too.
Il seems that Dickinson has been in
flicted with lot of bootleggers who
have been bonded together and it has
been hard to run them down. but the
officers have made some important
catches lately and it will not be long
until this kind of law breakers are serv-
ing time according to present indica-
tions.
John Hulka of Lehigh was the last
pigeer to be nabbed and he was taken
before Justice Folsom on Wednesday.
He had been selling openly to the
miners at Lebieh. All decent people
were up in arms against him and he
was ready to plead guilty when taken
before Justice Folsom.
It is expected that Judge W. C. Craw-
ford will be in chamber here the coming
week and that he will then attend t0
the wholesale lot ot guilty men await
ing him.

REV. HAckE's FINE ADDRESS
IN MEMORY Of LINCOLN

ME- MORY Of LlUCOlW
The Congregational church was filled
with an interesting audience Sunday
evening, to listen to the address on
Abraham Lincoln" by the pastor, Rev.
A. C. Hacke.
In this. fine address Rev. A. C. Hacke
told why we love the memory of
Lincoln, the man who restored the Union
and freed the slaves. He gave sketch
of his early life. the poverty of his
parents and his defective education and
how. from On awkward country lawyer,
he was called to the head of the nation.
Why?
Because. under his exterior appearance
he was the kind of man needed to
manage the national affairs in those
critical years. that is. he was loving
man, wise man and strong man.
Because Of the hardships of his own
life he was prepared to sympathlze
with all men in the time Of suffering.
He felt the needs Of other men and his
heart went out to them. His generals
complained that he would break up all
discipline in the army If he did not
stop pardonins 80 many men but
Lincoln simply said 1T makes me
rested after q hard days work if l can
find some good excuse for saving q
mans life. It was his loving nature
that bound him 90 closely to his fellow
men and gave him such power over
them,
Lincoln as a wise man: Lincoln g
early education was meagre. He had
few books but he became master of them.
The thorouehness which he cultivated
in reading and the complete mastery of a
subject found expression throughout his
life and was the basis of his success.
This attitude toward the Bible made his
life thoroughly honest and sympathetic.
All his later speeches. addresses and
letters are simply saturated with bibli-
cal thought and language. said the
speaker.
His law Office was laboratory, where
he studied men and learned to influence
them. The debate platform displayed
his power to control the multitude. He
swayed the crowds by his earnest appeal
based on facts which only clear and
logical mind could bring out. His wis
dom was that of d master mind deve.
loped in the experience Of a fierce
conflict.
Lincoln was noted for This physical
strength which later gave way TO those
developing powers that made him a
man of mighty influence. He was
lenient to fault, yetswhen he felt the
need he could oppose men with 9 vigol
that was appalling.
His power of humor was invaluable.
His homely illustrations and anecdotes
often carried his thought better than an
abstract. statement.
His trust in God was of great value tc
himself and to the nation. He lived
in a time when the balance seemed
against his country, and he bore the
heaviest burdens himself. He fel,
keenly the loss Of every life in war ant
wrote letters of sympathy to friends o.
the slain.
Lincoln is not dead. He lives il
every heart that loves that which h.
loved, and is inspired by his life tt
live for it. We admire our heroes BY
approving and following their examples
We can let this mighty man Of vaIor b,
an example to us of the sacrificing
sympathetic life. =

POSSE I'M PuRSIIIr.

Seattle. Jan. "A posse of seven deputy sheriffs is making a systematic search of the country about Kent. six teen miles south of Seattle. where the two hold-up men left the train.
 When Clark arrived here he was un- able to talk, but refused to so to the hospital until he had written a report of the robbery. With blood dripping from his mouth he sat at a desk in the railway station and prepared a complete description of the robbers and furnished the police the details of the hold-up.
 The two bandits went through all the registered and first class pouches, stole Clark's valise containing valuable registered matter and dropped off the train as 1t passed through Kent at re- duced speed. The amount of booty taken cannot be determined until the registry records are checked. Postal of ficials say the mail train tonight was not unusually heavy, although there were many valuable registered pack ages Had the robbers waited until the Tacoma mail was loaded on the train at Auburn, they would have made a much more valuable haul

.PATHF|NDERS LOST
 0N ONE DAYS JAUN1
FOLLOWED HOPEFULLY A TRAIL
 THAT LED TO NOWHERE.

w. Welton. who keeps a store in PalO Verde in the Buckeye Valley. is in the city for a day or so and brings the latest news from the Ohio Mud Hens pathfinding party which left here Tuesday for Los Angeles. via the great road race route. The party got a bum steer just beyond the Hassayampa river, travelled long distance on the desert until it prac- tically ran out of trail, then returned to Palo Verde where the night was spent and a new start was made about S:50 yesterday morning. EX- cept for the loss of time everything was all right and the gentlemen were in good spirits. The party is com posed of Messrs G. w. Finney. l.. l.. Ferguson and Drivers Fred D. Clark and Chas. Thacher.
 The party was the victim of misdi- rection. though no blame could be laid at the door of the man who fur nished the transformation. It was just an incident of desert life. The informant knew the Los Angeles Phoenix route and told the party to keep straight ahead beyond the Has sayampa until it came to the sec ond cross road then turn tO the north. That instruction would have been correct only a short time ago but since the Phoenix road race l trail leading north from Buckeye had been widened into a road that crossed the racing route this side of the point in dicated for the turn to the north. so the latter should have been made at the third intersection instead of the second. This new road the informant had no Knowledge of.
 The travellers thought from the gen. eral direction that they were not bear ing west fast enough and feared they were on the wrong road but were con- fident of the sincerity of their infor- mant and kept on until the trail van ished in the sand. Then they re- turned and put up at the Palo Verde store, chagrined but not the least i'll natured
 Mir. Welton said they remarked up on the road between Phoenix and Coldwater and said they did not see why anybody wanted to race over it. When told that one of the ears had covered the distance in for ty minutes. on the occasion of the race. they further remarked that the driver must have been determined to commit suicide if possible. Mir. Vel ton assured them that they need not be frightened at that little piece of road for the worst was yet to come. and told them they should withhold their enthusiasm until they reached the California desert where in some places the cars require help to run down hill.
