Caught Them Redbanded

Yesterday Chief Axtell and
Deputy Nesbitt succeeded in
making a good haul. when they
secured two of the burglars who
had broken into a hardware store
at Marmarth Monday night last.
The Marmarth authorities came
yesterday evening and shipped
their charges back, to make them
face charge of grand larceny.
Mr.. Nesbitt had been informed
promptly of the robbery, and
both he and the city police were
very much on the lookout. but
apparently in vain. Then. as
AXtell had just about given up
the hope of coming up to his
men, yesterday about noon,
meandering down main street,
he claps his weather eye on a
fellow that looked good to him.
He catches up with him, and
politely inquiries after his whence
and whittier, where he had slept
the night before, and such like
agreeable queries, and the e n
politely runs his hands down the
mans pockets and 10 and be-
hold, out come several suspicious
looking knives and other articles
of hardware, with the price
marks yet on them. Needless to
say, that man was carefully saved
up for future reference. And
then careful combing of the
city and railroad yards was en-
gagged in. with the result that
better than a dozen hoboes had
to pass muster.
But the securing OF one OF the
real actors in tn e Marmarth
episode was stroke more of luck
than of anything else. During
their search the officers looked
into the abandoned building il
the east end, formerly used as
the immoral resort of the town
and here they found sleeping
the sleep of the just" fellow
reposing on pillow made of hi
coat and a veritable arsenal o
revolvers loaded to the muzz g
together with other articles o
hardware. It's a good thlnj

Succulnbedto to His Injuries

issue, on Tuesday night of last |
week, Tom had fallen down a |
flight of stairs. sustaining a |
broken leg and other injuries.
What care and science could do
for him was done, and up to Sat
urday night he was in a spirit of |
cheer and buoyancy that made |
his friends feel safe that he
would soon be about again. But
over Sunday alarming symptoms
set in, probably from internal in
juries against which the honey
combed strength of a weakened
frame was not proof. All day
Monday until the end came, he
was practically in an unconscious
state.
1t was a matter of deep regret
for many who had hoped to see
old Tom, to cheer him on mis- bed
,f illness. to find, towards the
end that the physicians had to
bar visitors. 1t was a strangely
affecting spectacle to see and
bear at every hand proof of
heartfelt sollcitude towards one
of earth's poorest, a derellct up
on the stormy sea of life, one, of
whom in the sterner judgment of
the world it had to be said that
his life had be- n perhaps a failure.
But failure that it was, Tom S
life was far from being all fail
ure; there was the benedictlon of
his smile; that rollicking humor,
those quaint sayings of his; those
little Offices of companionship to-
wards the little one. that caused
even the rudest to desist from
scoffing him. No, Tom S life, d
