A Sad Case.
A Plattsmouthian visited the state
penitentiary yesterday and saw Ben
well at work in the cooper shop where
he has become quite an expert. Two
ndians confined for murder were alpo
at work in the cooper shop hooping
barrels. To make an Indian wo: k is
worse than punishment than hanging.
Nine women are in- the penitentiary.
a majority of whom aro colored. One
man sent their four years ago for life
has never spoken a word since his in
carceration and he has not had to
work. It soems a vigilance committee
n one of the western counties caused
i
the death of his wife, and he i-ingled
out a man that he thought was the ,
leader, and killed him. He was tried
and found guiity nnd sent to the pen
for life. The authorities seem to'
have sympathy for him and he is often '
lariated out in the open lawn for ex-.

Mr. James Rowland, of this village
tates that for twenty-tTd years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheum
atism. A few nights ni'O she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr. Rowi md for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm and instead of going for
the physician ho went to the store and
secured a bottle of it. His wife did
not approve of Mr. Rowland's purchase
at first, but nevertheless applied the
Balm thoroughly and in an hour's
time was able to go to sleep. She now
applies it whenever she feels an ache
or a pain and finds that it always
erives relief. He says that no medi
cine which she had used ever did her I

How an Amateur Detective Outwitted an
Embezzler Posing; as a Forger In Exile
Who Knew of a Rich Deposit of Ore
That Ilad Never Been Reported.
"I never was in Mexico but once, and
then I went as an amateur detective, "
said the mining expert. "It happened

had his confidential clerk to whom ho
had given an opportunity by trusting
him fully skip with $10,000. He knew
wbero he was, just over the border
from Sau Diego. But ho was safe, for
ho kept religiously on the wrray side
of the line. Several detectives h;wl been
sent dowu there to lure him over, but
in someway be had detectnl tho detect
ive in them, for they often acquire a
professional air iu spite of their best
efforts to tho contrary.
"I knew that my only chance would
be to go and live there as a fugitive
from justice myself and so secure his
entire coufidouco. I decided to bo a
forger. I took up my abode in the
wretched little town and iu about 24
hours was so s;ick of it that I was on the
point of throwing up tho whole s; heme
and going back. But my friend had
done mo many a favor in business, and
in decency I owed him some return. Oi
courso I did not make tho Klick mail's
acquaintance. I was determined he
should make mine. He held off for sev
eral days, evidently thinking I was a
detective and expecting me to make, as
they bad alwaya done, approaches tc
him. But I kept away, as if 1 were sus
picious of him. The fellow was dread
fully homesick, a : 1 I don't wonder, in
that place. He usod to go out on tht
desert and look at tho stars and stripet
across the border and wish ho dared gc
back, lie evidently bewail to think he
was worse imprisoned than if he had
been iu some p uiteutiary.
"Finally one day he ventured to ad
dress me. I replied very coldly to hif
salutation, which only made him the
moro.anxious to know me. He b:-f.:a!i tc
inquire into my business and fin I out
what I had come for. I g ivehim no spe
cial satisfaction until one day I said that
I had come frir :i change of air. With tht
same kind of air in the United States f
few miles away this was, of course, ab
surd, and ho concluded, ns I intruded
he should, thr.t I was th:ro for tho same
reasoii he was, but I pile I hini v irh ut
questions. Finally, in his impatience
he burst out with:
" 'What's the use of keeping up thif
pretense longer? I know and you know
that wo are both on the same errand
down hero. It is true, as you say, wt

to seo that r.o h:id made a very xor bar

cality was to sit and sjiend' it sb wly in
that little hole of a Mexican town.
"1 had already interested bi n with
my stories of fortunes that hr.d Ut-n
made in luckv mine investments, and
told him I knew of ono rich d p.isit
which I had never reported to any ue,
intending to invest the amount f my
forgery in its development if lcrald
get some more to put with it 1 told
him it was in an out of the way Lical
ity iu southern Arizona, and that we
could get there without detection if we
would co on foot or burro buck ;uid
avoid tho railroads. Finally ! con
eluded that he was willing to t:i!. i the
risk if I would and g. and look i.t the
property. The rest was easy. I vrote
at once for an officer to be rodv to head
us off while crossing the Colorado river.
We had traveled some distance without
being challenged or exciting suspicion.
I threw off my pretended apprehension,
declared that wo were safe from all in
terference and that we might as well
take it easy. This proved contagious,
and I saw that I would havo no difficul
ty in getting him to the point I had
designated to the officers.
"We were riding slowly along in the
hot sun of the desert when suddenly
from behind a butto two men on horses
shot out and rode swiftly toward ns ami
were upon us almost ljefore wo had time
to realize it. Although I had expected
them, 1 confess I was taken by surprise
it was done so quickly and success
fully. Of courso they handcuffed me as
well as hini. But before w had reached
the railroad station they had released
me, and he understood how he had lieen
fooled. I expected he would burst out
in curves and reproaches, especially
when they confiscated what he had left
of his stealings. But he didn't. In fact,
it was so great a relief that he made no
defense at the trial and took his sen
tence with great iudifferenca I would
hardly have been surprised if be had
thanked nie for the favor he was so
