PETER Won HoFFLIN APPEALED
TO CHIEF OF POLICE FOR
ASSISTANCE

Peter Won Hofflin struggled into the
city hall yesterday afternoon, labor
ling and perspiring under the burden
of o mammoth telescope grip and a
terrible fear. Peter came from Den
yer. He was going to Los Angeles.
Bur the English were after him, and
he got off the train in Las Vegas to
seek the protection of the police.
He went into the office of Chief
Coles, and, depositing his grip on the
floor but retaining a tenacious grip
on his fear, said: I'm here" The
chief was glad to see him. He said
50.
Peter mopped his brow.
They are still after me; they al
most got me on the train. ! thought
lyon would turn them back. Don't let
them get me, mister. never done

Then he began to rave. Peter, who,
in his proper mind and sober, was a
car whacker in the Denver railroad
yards, and who by birth is a Hollan-
Dire, became possessed of the idea
lthat the English were going to get
him if he didn't watch out. He fig
Iured, it is said, that the best way he
could watch out was to fill up on
Icheap whiskey. The more booze he
drank the closer the English got.
They drove him into the land Of the
ID. rs. Coming out of the first attack
he went to the depot and bought a
ticket to the California city.
In his telescope, Peter put a bottle
of whiskey On the trip he transfer

YOUTH GIVES A
WORTHLESS
CHECK
JAMES REYNOLDS is ARRESTED
ON COMPLAINT OF Il.
A. HARVEY

James Reynolds, young man IL
years old, who came to Las Vegas ear
lly in the summer supposedly from
Terre Haute, Ind, and who went soon
after his arrival to Harvey's ranch
where he remained practically con-
tinuously until yesterday afternoon
when he took train No. 1, ostensibly
for Roswell, where he said he intend
cd to enter the military school, was
arrested last night at Albuquerque at
the request of Chief Of Police Coles,
on warrant sworn out by H. a.
Harvey, whom he is said to have de-
frauded of $65.
Ir settling his account for board
at the ranch, Reynolds is said to have
given Mr.. Harvey a check for this
amount drawn on the First National
bank of this city. He had no account
at the bank, it is declared. Wh1le
here for few hours yesterday he
presented check, to which he is
said to have signed the name of H. A.
Harvey, to the Charles Ilfeld company,
it is reported. The check was not
cashed, however, the boy being un-
known to the firm, and the signature
having a strange appearance.
Reynolds, who is small for his age,
but bold in all his ways, has exhibit
ed an appetite for liquor since he has
been in this. section that may be at
at the bottom of his present trouble,
according to the story. It is said that
he has been drinking heavily all sum-
ner.
