The real Rogers served a year in
San Quentin for forgery. When re-
leased he won the interest of Capt.
Robert Dollar, a merchant, who sent
him to China in a clerical position.
Soon Rogers was posing as Captain
Dollars son. He began to pass bad
checks and was caught. An officer of
the court was to have taken him to
Nagaski, where he was to be turned
over to the Sheridan. The belief of
federal officers is that Rogers got his
guardian drunk, slipped a supplying
drug into Johansen's drink and per-
sonally delivered him late at night on
board the Sheridan.
Rogers was arrested by the Chinese
authorities and is now in custody, ac-

Runs Down and Kills
Negro Near Delta.
HEAD SEVERED FROM BODY
Had Been to Delta to Buy Sup
plies for Grading Camp and
on Returning Was Killed.

Friday the 18th proved "a hoodoo
to Il foreman on the construction
gang at Delta. The negro who is
known as Red by his fellow
workmcn was run down and killed
by a Cotton Belt freight train last
Friday night lie was carrying seven
chickens with him and six of them
crossed the Great Divide with their
owner. The negro had left camp
that evening and gone into Delta
to purchase some provisions, and it
is supposed that his failure to note
the approach of the train was due
to his being intoxicated. His head
was completely severed from his
body rs was also one foot. An in
quest was held at the scene of the
accident and the remains were buried
by the side of the railroad track
near where the unfortunate man met
his death.

RUMORED IN LONDON THAT
ASOUITH WILL RESIGN.

London, March 10 The pcrsis-
tent rumors that Premier Asquith
expects to resign rs Il result of the
Irish Home Rule Turmoil, have
excited considerable interest. 1t is
the opinion of many that the noted
statesman has seized this opportuni-
ty a~ an excuse for rcsigning that he
may free himself from the annoyance
hc has suffered at the hands of the
~utiragcttcS. The pcrsistcncy Of the
miIitants have caused him no small
amount Of worry, and he is doubtless
gratlticd for an excuse to drop out
Of public life without making an adj
mission of the true basis for his ac-
ton.
In the last few years he has not
only suffered bodily injury, but ha.
also sustained heavy losses of valua,
bile property because of the stand
he has maintained toward the de,
mands of the aggricvcd women.

Saturday night at about eleven
O. clock a large number of the police
force quietly approached and sur
rounded the premises known as the
Mertcn Hotel at the Corner of
Broadway and Sprigg streets. Some
of the officers entered the building
while Others remained on the outside
for the purpose of intercepting any
of the occupants who might attempt
to make their escape. The proprietor
Henry Mcrtens, was arrested. If
the place had been used for immoral
purposes, the offenders had evident
ly been surprised of the approaching
raid as no evidence of any wrong
doing was visible. The place was
tcnantcd by the Camden family,
of whom S. J. Camden, Will Cam
den and wife, and Miss Ethel Cam
den were required to report to the
Police Station Sunday morning where
they were questioned by Prosccut-

succeeded in rcviving him sufficiently
to ascertain his name and address,
but he was too dazcd to offer any
explanation of his plight He was
assisted to his home, where an at
tempt was made to rouse his parents,
but they manifested feeling Of UNI
concern in the matter and refused
to yet out of bed or offer any sug-
gcstion rs to the disposition to be
made of the unfortunate boy. Mr..
Hutson forced the door open, took
the victim inside, and there left him
to the tender mcrcies Of his apparent
ly unfccling home folks.
\ few minutes after the officer
returned to his beat young man
known as Butch Erwin advised him
that while passing the corner OF
Benton and Good Hope a short time
before, he had seen two men who
were engaged in bitter quarrel
and one of them answered the de-
scription of Mccormick, although
he knew neither of the parties.
Mr.. Dierson also stated that he
heard loud and threatening language
out on the street near where McCor
mick was lying, a few minutes be
fore he was discovered.
At this time the officers are unabl,
to find any clue of the party Will
whom he was supposed to have
