Bill Carlisle, Train Bandit, Is Taken
 After Being Shot by Wyoming Sheriff;
 Frankness Leads to His Apprehension

ranch of William Hill. From al most every rancher the posse obtain ed further information He had dined at the home of one rancher one day and another the next day. It was learned he had left this morn ing from the home of Frank Newell for the La Bonte country and the posse lost his track.
 Later in the morning, the posse learned that Carlisle had gone to the Widow Bray's home and here Carlisle made his escape when almost in the hands of his pursuers, just before noon.
 It was not hard for the posse to follow the fresh trail to Williams home in the widest part of the Lara mic peak country. Sheriff Roach and w. J. McClement, a special agent of the Union Pacific, lay down In the snow at Williams back door while the others surrounded the place. l Soon Williams came out. He in- formed the posse that Carlisle was inside and the sheriff entered. Carlisle seized an automatic pis- tol, but the sheriff fired a shot which ended the bandits career for the time being.
 Carlisle escaped from the state prison November 15 in box of shirts shipped fro mthe shirt factory in which he was employed. He was serving a sentence of 25 to 50 years for train robbery.
 Three days later he boarded the Union Pacific Los Angeles limited at Rock River, robbed passengers in a tourist car of $25O and left the train near Medicine Bow. In mak- ing his escape, it was learned to- day, Carlisle was wounded in the right hand. He was unable to get medical attention while fugitive in the hills and the bullet is still in his hand.
 From ranch house to ranch house thru the desolate Laramie peak country, Carlisle made his way, nev- CT attempting to conceal his iden- tity, rather boasting of it. It was not until last Saturday that any of his involuntary hosts notified off cers of the bandits whereabouts. While dangerously wounded, it was said tonight that Carlisle e's wounded is not necessarily fatal. He will be kept under guard in the To- cal hospital several days and then be taken back to the eAstate prison at Rawlins.
 The Union Pacific spent several thouss{nd dollars in attempting to capture Carlisle. Large sums were spent in trying to trace the source of letters and telegrams sent to the railroads and the newspapers pur- porting to come from Carlisle. It now develops that all of these were fakes and that Carlisle has been in isolated parts of the state ever since his escape from the train robbery.

Sidelight On Jenkins Case Shows Word from England in Similar Case Is Sufficient to
 Bring Action.

Washington, Dec. 2.-With much impatience the state department to- day awaited word from Mexico City of the release of Consular Agent Jenkins from the prison at Puebla in response to this governments sec ond sharp note to Carranza. The department tonight had not been ad- vised of the notes delivery, but of- ficials said it probably was present. ed during the day and that they ex- pected prompt action by the Carran- ga administration in acceding to the request" of the United States. Err TOTS in cable transmission were said to have delayed it's presentation. A new sidelight on the general Mexican Kidnapping situation was given today in report of the re- cent capture of Norman Rowe, a British subject, by rebels at Zacate- cas who held him for ransom, but who quickly released him at the in- stance of the Carranza administra- tion, without payment of ransom. Great Britain has never recognized the Carranza regime in Mexico.
 The British vice consul at Zacate- cas promptly notified the Mexican authorities and reported the kidnap- ing to the British consul general at Mexico City. Representations were quickly made to the Mexican govern ment and within a few hours the machinery, including the military, was seeking to rescue Rowe.
 The Kidnapping took place at Fres- nillo, large mining camp at Zaca- tecas, and in reporting the liberation and return of Rowe to Fresnil1o the vice consul said:
 "The government troops and the state authorities exercised all dili- gence in effecting the liberty of Rowe and as a mere matter of justice this should be stated as everything is due to the effacacv with which the au- thorities moved in the matter"
 Luis Cabrera, secretary of the treasury, under Carranza, known to be bitterly American, and whose brother is governor of the state of Puebla, where the Jenkins kidnap- ing took place, has taken an active part in the Mexican governments prosecution of the case against Jen- kins, according to advices received today. In a statement prepared for the press of Mexico City, Cabrera said that Jenkins might be liberated on bond but that 'the American government now prefers to set him free by means of threats"

Underwood Hackett, wife and

relatives in Menefee county, have
returned home. They were accom-
panied by John Kelly, of the same
place, who on this trip saw Blue

Mr.. Hackney said corn would be

is sound. Mr.. Morrow is an orator.
He speaks glibly and he has many
of the tricks of the trade of the old
time stump speaker. He is a more
ready speaker than is Governor
Black, but would be make better
GovernorY We do not think so.
Another thing that should exert
powerful effect upon the electo-
rate is that the next legislature is
almost certain to be Democratic.
There are enough hold-overs in the
Senate to make Democratic control
Of the upper branch a certainty.
There is practically no chance,
therefore, Of our Republican friends
really controlling the State govern
ment. Should Mr.. Morrow win he will
be as powerless as were Governors
Wilson and Bradley before him. He
could draw the salary as Governor
but he could accomplish nothing il
a constructive way without the con
sent of the legislature, and we know
that Republican Governors an,
Democratic legislatures rarely pull
together,

low the price he is willing to sell
flour to the people of Louisville, the
Ballard mills also pay the freight on
the flour to New Orleans, which
everybody knows, is quite some dis
lance from Louisville, involving a
freight rate of hardly less than so
cents barrel, though this paper has
not had the time to look up that rate.
If this is not profiteering with a
vengeance, and with the people Of
Kentucky as its victim, we should
like to know what it is, and how
much sincerity can be credited to the
Republican party platform plank ON
that question.

The Louisville Post, which warm
Ily supported Judge John ID. Carroll
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, comes out the past week
for Governor Black in an editorial
in which il quotes strong editorial
Endorsement of the Governor by
Harry A. Sommers, editor of the
EliKabethtown News, one of the
high-class weekly newspapers of the
Middle West The Post points the
uselesness of electing a Republican
Governor, when the Senate and
House are certain to be Democratic,
and shows how Morrow could do
nothing except with the help of a
Democratic Assembly if by an mis-
fortune he should be elected Gov
ernor of Kentucky. The editorial in
the Post, under the caption "The
State Election" follows:
"In the Elizabethtown News, Col.
Harry Sommers comes out strongly
for the reelection of Governor
Black, and the stand taken by the
News is symptomatic, we think, Of
the hest opinion inside the party. OF
course the Elizabethtown News is a
Democratic newspaper, but Ken
lucky is normally Democratic, and,
when the party is able to command
the earnest support of such an in
dependently edited paper it may be
considered on the high road to sue
cess.
"Orators do not make good Gov
ernors," observes the News. 1--WE
have recently had one and we know
what we are talking about" This
is, of course, an allusion to Mr.. |
Stanley, but the point that, simply
because a man is a good speaker
there is no reason to feel assured
that he will make a good Governor,

Virgniian Is Arrested
On Musicians Charge
HI. L. Kirby Accused of Obtain.
ing J. |. c. Peterson's Money
by False Pretences

Hugh Lee Kirby. of Harpers Ferry,
Va, temporarily living at the Hotel
Vanderbilt, was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Charles Kramer in an
action brought by John A. c. Peterson,
of 1923 West Forty-fourth Street, to
recover $15,185 which Peterson says
he turned over to Kirby on alleged
ia lse representations by the latter
regarding the great money-making
possibilities of the New Virginia Syn-
dictate. Kirby gave Sheriff Knott $4,000
cash bail and was released Peterson
is musician, and he said in his COM
plant that the money he invested with
Kirby represented his entire fortune
and he even borrowed all he could
from friends to take advantage of the
golden opportunity.
According to Peterson, Kirby sold
him what purported to be three one
per cent interests in the profits of the
New Virginia Syndicate which it was
to receive from the consolidation of
$4,000 acres of coal lands, which were
embraced in ninety one coal mines that
had gross annual output of 5000, OOO
tons.
Kirby, it is alleged, represented that
a syndicate of bankers, including
Kuhn. Loeb & Co., j. e. w. Seligman
Gulggenheim e. Bros, and Bernhard
Scholle & Co., had underwritten the
property for $5O,O0O,0OO and that

The number of passengers on the
vessels bound for Cuban ports was un-
usually large for SO early in the sea
son, and steamship officials attributed
tons between the United States and
Cuba. Most Of the passengers were
representatives of American business
houses on their way to compete with
English grms for the business of the
island. On board the Mexico was Pablo
&. Menocal, brother Of the President of
Cuba and a member of tho Cuban
House of Representatives. He was ac-
companicd by Sonora Menocal and their
children.
