BOB WILSON GETS 30 DAYS
Clever Detective Work of Local
Sleuth Lands Culprit Be-
hind the Bars

Considerable excitement was
created among the employees at
the Santa Fe depot last Friday,
when two gallon jugs of whisky,
destined to eastern points, were
missing, and Agent Snyder fail
ing to locate them after repeated
efforts, reported the theft to
Marshal House.
Among those lettering about
the depot, the marshal took es-
pecial note of a middleaged man,
then came to town to attend to
other duties.
Returning to the depot, House
observed the suspicious one ap-
proach Brakeman Garrity, who
had just stepped off a freight
train, and after brief confab
he left the stranger, then re-
peated the conversation to the
marshal, which was to the effect
that the fellow had some whisky
he wanted to ship east.
Upon getting this clue House
discarded his star and saunter-
ing up to the culprit, asked him
if he knew where man could
get job"
The culprit acquiesced, then
agreed to pay the fare of both to
Lamar, where they could procure
work, so that part was settled.
AS both waited for the stub,
No. 8 heaved in sight, with San
ia Fe Detective Angus on the rear
platform. Unobserved the Mar
shall gave the high sign" to the
detective, then told the thief in
loud voice that he would meet
him at 3:45, turned around the
corner, only to see the culprit
make bee line for the Cheyenne
street bridge. There, underneath
some brush, he brought up the
liquor, and had gone but a few
steps when halted by the willy
marshal who, with Detective An
gus, escorted Bob Wilson TO the
county Jail, where he will Ian
guish in durance vile for the next
thirty days.

Think of a productive county

several gold watches which they wore
at the time of their respective ar
rests, were stolen property.
Mr.. Finlay, however, In reporting
his losses, mentioned two gold
watches, one a highly-prized 17-jewel

locked up at present charged with

serious charge when Mr.. Finlay
comes to town and swears TO the afii-
davit against them.
The strangers worked their game
very shrewdly. The home of Mr.. Fin
lay was visited several days ago and
generally ransacked. Deputy Craw-
ford was on the Job all day Saturday,
and when northbound train reached
Pine Barren during the day, tho
deputy, on the lookout for suspicious
looking strangers on freights, saw Q
man suddenly emerge from the train
and hurry to Pile Of cross ties near
the side Of the track
The hobo, who left the train, was
permitted to reach the pile of cross
ties and it was seen that he had ex-
tracted from the pile a roll Of cloth
ing. The clothing which he had pulled
from beneath the cross tie pie were
two overcoats and number Of other
articles of wearing apparel, which
had been taken from the Finlay home.
Immediately upon being arrested, the
two strangers were searched, and the
two stolen watches were found, ona
on each man. A third watch, which Ii

was also found on one Of the
strangers.
Brought to the city the msn were
searched closely. In the package Of
clothing which had been found under
the cross ties were shirts, clean col
lars, neckwear, socks, ETC., all indf-
eating that the men were ready 70

1t was yesterday ascertafned that,
after burglarizing the Finlay home,
that the stolen clothing had been hid

HEROIC DEEDS
4
FRENCH From
Hundreds of Instances of
Individual Bravery in
Fighting Recorded.
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Nov. 21.-More than a
hundred instances of Individual
bravery in the fighting at Loos and
Hulluch six weeks ago, are recounted
in brief official notes appended to the
latest list of awards Of the military
cross and Distinguished Service
Order. The ten most striking stories
are as follows:
Captain Dennis, Scottish Borderers,
was wounded in the trenches, but
after his wound was bandaged he
escaped from the ambulance and went
back to his men, advancing with his
company until again wounded. He
was carried back to a dressing sta
ton, from which he disappeared after
his wound was dressed. Later he was
seen catching up with his company
and again cheering them on until he
was wounded third time.
Major Gordon, London Artillery, got
close up to the German lines to recon-
noitre, and although under heavy fire,
brought back twelve German captives
after having shot one man with his
revolver.
Lieut.. Carr, London infantry, mo-
ticed while directing the removal Of
grenades from the division "dump"
that the fuse of bomb had become
ignited. He at once picked it up and
carried it out Of the dug out. 1t ex-
ploded just as it left his hand, seri-
ously wounding him. His GOODNESS
saved an explosion of many thousand
grenades and bombs, which would
have killed scores of men and de-
stroyed the entire divisional bomb re-
serves during the heavy operations.
Capt Bird, London field ambulance,
on one occasion worked for % hours
without cessation In tending and
dressing the wounded. He was twice
observed carrying wounded on a
stretcher under rife fire, and for SIS
hours was continually exposing him
self to heavy shell fire.
Lieut.. Williams of the Bluffs, " took
charge of small party Of bombers
and attacked the enemy, throwing
1000 bombs in seventeen hours. It
was raining all the time, and the
damp fuses had to be Lit from cigar
cites. Williams was wounded early
in the fighting but refused to leave
his post.
Lieut.. Hollwey, royal artillery, laid
a telephone wire through the Hohen-l
zollern Redoubt under heavy FIRE.

Bollinger baby has attracted national
attention. The mother Of the six-day-
old infant gave her consent to Dir.
Haiselden's action. The autopsy ON
the child's body showed. that the baby
was paralyzed on the left side from
head to foot. On the right side the
outer ear was formed, but lacked the
drum, and the child would have been
deaf because there was no ear on the
left side. On the right there was no
neck. the skin growing from the
cheek to the shoulder blade. Curva-
ture of the spine and hemorrhage of
the spinal canal also were found. The
latter, according to physicians, would
have caused complete paralysis of the
child's body and would have resulted
in death had there been no other
causes.

would not be another Austrian ship

no facilities at the warehouse for
keeping this serum cold in warm
weather to preserve its efficiency, the

Austrian consulate asking If it could
find some means of sending over
these additional three boxes. The con-
