IntorostliiR Facts iu His Civrcor- Kcincr Trllmnr , Sept. 2B. II.V. . Iturtnn , the inoit daring stage robber of the ninotcontli century - tury , is now nn itnnnto of the county jail , Imvint ; arrived them Inst cvoning iiuilui' care of Deputy United States Marshal Sim AV. Cnntril. liiirtoti wns conviutocl in tl\o Unilctl States court at Pueblo for the robbery of the United Statoa mails between Del isVrto and Alamos.i lant .Juno , uiul is sentenced to a hfo's term n tlio poni- tentiary. A reporter for The Tribune , huurini ; that Uurton would arrive on Inst evening's Dcnvor & llio Gnmdu train , boarded the outgoinj ; train ut 7tOnnd. : ! met him and his escort at the car ahopj and was properly intro duced to liim by Deputy Cantril. They were sensed in the front pa-ssen- Her car anil Durton was heavily and aecnrely chained to the seats in order to prevent any attempt nt an escape. When the reporter appioachctl him and asked if there was anythins ho would like to have said in the in regard to hia past career , ho replied that there was nothing very important in liis life which was worthy of par ticulnr mention. The reporter then naked him if ho was a married man , to which ( mention ho replied that ho wns not and never liad been. Ilia father was killed bja man fifteen years ago and his mother now lives in Uastrop county , Tcxaa , and is in very easy circumstances. When young liurton was only thir teen years old his father was shot , and ho then took a solemn oath that as lie bccario of a o ho would kill the perportrator of the deed , which oath ho k'jpt and killed his man in the same county where his mother now resides. After killing him ho made his escape , and in order to raise money for the expense of defense in the suit for that murder a crime ho considers a just ono ho in 1877 rob bed a stage near Waco , Texas , which cent 'ncd uomo eight or uino men and from whom ho secured about § 200 , and did the robbing in the daytime , alone and with nothing to assist him but his trusty revolver. His. next successful robbery was nearEastrop , Texas , where ho secured about § 175 in money from three men who were in the coach. There was one lady among the passengers , but ho never robbed ladies or criuplus. The third and fourth robbeiies of his life were done during the month of April , 1877 , near Austin , Texas , and only a few days after the ono com mitted near Uastrop. Ho robbed two stagecoaches inonoday. On the first ono ho secured about § 3,000 from seven men , but on thosccond ono that " day ho was not so lucky , as from the six men in the coach ho secured only about § 300. After this robbery he was arrested and convicted , and sent for life to the West Virginia penitentiary , but pro per inilucnco was brought to bear on President Hayes , and ho was pardoned after serving three years and eight months. After being released from the pcntontiary ho returned to Texas , and was put under bonds for the mur der of the slayer of his father. Ho * then started out again robbing singes to secure money for his defense and made an unsuccessful attempt near Gonzales , Texas , and followed the stage for some distance with his revolver ver cocked and pointing at the driver , but the driver did not st8p , and not wishing to kill anyone ho let him go. His next cfl'ort was between George town and Lampasi , Texas , and was more successful , although ho secured only § 4D. On the ! id of last Juno ho stopped a coach which was tilled with passengers , near Gainsvillo , Texas , and robbed them of about § 050 , Ho says for this robbery two men have been ar rested and are now in jail at Dallas , Texas , serving out their sentence , but Burton declares they are innocent of the crime , as he did it alone. Prom Texas ho wont to Arkansas and com mitted a robbery , and then came to Colorado. In looks liurton is rather above thoao who are commonly classed as criminals , and looks moro like a well-cducated and well-raised gentle man. Ho is very jovial and fret ) to talk , and is quitoontcrtaining to those around him. * Just before the prisoner was taken From the Pueblo jail ho made a des- por.ito attempt to gain hia liberty. When the jailer lot liurton out of his cell ho walked directly into the ] ail oflica where Cantril was standing ready to put the tthncklcfl on him , and when within about two feet of him [ drew a toy pistol ( which ho had made out of Rome 'cather ' that he took out the Denver jail , and covered with tin foil , making it resemble a 45 cali- bro pistol ) and placed it over Deputy Cantril's heart and ordered him to throw up his hands , at the same time making a dash for Canhil'e pistol. In this instance Cantril's presence of [ mind stayed by him , and quicker than Hush he jumped back and raising the shackles which ho hud in his hands to was about to deal Burton a heavy blow on the head , when the latter sprung backward nnd probably savt'-d Ills life , fin Cantril no doubt would liave broken his skull with the blow. Burton's excuse for doinic so writ ) that had been sentenced for lifo and he was willing to run desperate chances secure his escape. Had his bold at tempt been a successful ono ho intend- locking his guards in jail , secure their arms and mount the first horse which came in night and inside of ton a minutes would have been beyond recapture - capture , as under no circumstances would ho have allowed the ollicora to take him alive. Burton last evening in talkinc to The Tiibune reporter about this' little escapade ' scorned to bo good naturcd in about it , 'but was sorry lie did not mnko it successful. Burton , without doubt , to ono of the most daring and dcsporalo stagu robbura in the nineteenth century , and less than ten years ) mn robbed nine stages , including about fifty pee , and securing something in the neighborhood of § 10,000. Further facts concerning this bold knight of the road , obtained from Colonel I' . on Cass Carpenter , will bo found upon nn inside page of this issue , "From Fayelteville , Arkansas , ho came direct to Colorado , where ho landed 1 nt Pueblo Juno 1 ! , 1881. From thcro ho went to South Arkan sas ( Salida ) , thencoto Alnino , Pilkin. Gunnison , Like City , Del Norto nnd Alrimosn I , nt which latter place he landed on the early morning of Juno liii , 1831. Durinir the day ho hired a horse from l\ \V. Johnson , livery stable proprietor , to lido a short dis tance into the counliy to look at ranches , proposing to return about 10 o'clock p. m. , or , if not then , ho would return some time the next day. The 1 ptopriotor refused to let himhavo 1a 1fi horse unless ho would deposit n for fcit in case ho did not return the horse , otc. This foifeit was fixed at § 80 , which ho deposited. Burton reached the place where ho proposed lo 'hold up' the coach about 4 o clock in the afternoon. When ho left the stable in Alamosa ho carried a small bundle under his arm. which consisted of the material from which ho made the hooda with which ho covered the eyes of the pas- sensors as they came ono by one from the conch. lie returned to Alamosa about lifteon minutes ahead of the coach which carried the passengers ( twelve in number ) that ho .had rob bed. Ho boarded the saino Irani with them , sat at the table with them at breakfast , and listened , with com posure , to tliu hair-litting stories told by them of their wonderful escapes the night bcforo , and how' they liad 'stood the robbers oil * by refusing to alight from the coach , but hiding themselves under the scats , etc. , etc. Burton says they all got out , oven the lady who was in the coach , and no ono interposed any objection. In his own language : 'They were the most do cile , tractable lot of passengers that I ever encountered , ' From the stage load Burton says ho got about § X > 0 , although the passengers swearto a much larger sum. At his trial ho wan calm and confident , but not 'defiant , ' nt has been alleged. Burton know that wo had sure proof against him in that sack of ore , and admitted nsmuch to mo , but ho hoped all the time that wo could not trace thu ore directly to him. him."This "This , however , wo did. Had wo failed in this case , I had warrant in my pocket to servo on him , which would have taken him to Arkansas for trial. 'Tho case was regarded by the authorities as a very important ono , and wo have worked incessantly upon it in order to weave the chain of evidence donco BO closely that no legal or other technicality could bo pleaded in his behalf. behalf.Vo " \Vo have persistently fought against taking Burton to Del Norto for trial , for this reason : that wo know we had a good case against him one that would send him up for life ; and also because wo believe in law rind order It is better for Burton to HIVO been tried , convicted and sen tenced to the penitentiary for life hail it would have been to take him to Del Norto to bo hanged by vigi- "antes. "The summary execution of Billy Lolloy and brother did not servo to iletoa Burton from committing a like Dlfenso within a very few miles from where they met their fate. I regard Burton as the most daring , skillful , accomplished highwayman of whom history gives an account. Ho is neither brutal or uneducated , but rather the reverse. If limits can bo anything manly in robbing a stage coach , probably Burton manifested that trait , but had it been necessary to shoot and kill the voiy persons to ward whom ho acted so gentlemanly , ho would not have hesitated one mo- ncnt. In his interview i\ith mo after his conviction ho said that some of the witnessed greatly exaggerated the natter ; that ho did not get any such sum of money as they alleged , and that tluiy were the most thoroughly frightened set of men that lie over saw. saw."When the verdict was rendered ho betrayed no emotion whatever , and it was not until after ho was remanded to jail that ho showed any signs of weakening. "Burton says ho never yet robbed a woman or a cripple , nor a poor man if ho know it , Ho realizes his situation and regrets , or says ho does , that ho was not sent to Del Norlo and han.g- ed instead of being sent to the peni tentiary for lifo. This maken four mail robbers that wo have 'taken in' sincu January last. Billy Lo Hey aiul brother were captured in May lust , taken from the ollicials and hanged a few days after. Dingman was captur ed , tried and convicted last week and sentenced lo the penitentiary for ten yi'ni.s , and next comes Burton , aliai Ham \Vhito \ , just sentenced for life. Four , in eight months. " Burton is now in the county pail waiting transportation to LaramioCity , Wyoming , whoio ho will bo taken , with Dingman , at an early day. The instofllco ollicials feel relieved.

How \Vifo nnd Hunlirunl Were Xtouuitol < Uillvtln Fifteen years ago Thomas L. Patter son , a'young ' man , was married to nn estimable young lady of Wilmington , Del , , and removing to Baltimore , ho W.IH employed in a mercantile estab lishment. After n year or two of hap- > y wedded life , Patterson fell into mbitsof dissipation , nnd wns accused of dishonesty by a follow clerk tocover up his own misdeeds. Ilia protesta tions ot honesty bcingdisboliovcd , Pat terson II d , and his abandoned \\ifu returnnd to her Wilmington homo with her infant. Years rolled on and nothing was heard of Pat terson until a newspaper ropoited that a man of thu same namu had been found dead in n hotel of an in terior Pennsylvania town. The re mains were exhumed , and mistakenly identiticd as Puttcrpon , wore interred in Wilmington. Hia grave was marked \\ith a tombstone , nnd thu widow frequently ntiewcd tlowera up on it in memory of tlio lover of her youth. Recent disclosures provo that the body recognised as his was that of an enliro stranger. It appears that Pnttcmm on Jeavim. Baltimore went lo Texas nnd engaged in caltlo raising , in which he was quite suc cessful. Ho Bold out and engaged in teaming across Nov.- Mexico , until he had rccupoiatod in health nnd fortune sutliciently to enable him once more to claim hi : ) wife and child. With ( hi/ , idea , ho wrote to his wife and entrusted ( ho letter to n messenger In carry to the nearest postollico , which watt at no small dis tance. For some reason the letter was never mailed , or at least was noyer received. Soon nfler ho was captured in the Indhn raid , lost all that ho possessed , and woi himself taken prisioner. Making hia escape , ho returned to civilization penniless , broken in health and spirits , and felt unwilling to again write to his wifo. Finally , ho worked his way to the homo of some old friends in Wiscon sin , and was warmly nnd tenderly cared for until , with renewed health , ho made another attempt to re cover his wife and child , Ho lirst wrote to an intimate friend living in NVilmington , making inquiries about his wife and child , Greatly surprised at receiving a { otter from one supposed to bo mouldering in the grave , the friend answered the letter , giving the information asked for and asking him to write more fully. This Mr. Pat terson promptly did , enclosing n long letler lo hin exile. The friend then communicated the startling news to Mrs. Patterson and delivered the letter from her husband. The cor respondence resulted in preparing Iho way for the reunion of the long sop- orated family , and Mr. .Patterson's circumstances now being such as to justify the slop , ho will come on hero in October to claim once more the wife whoso joy that ho is nlivo equals her gticf when she mourned him us dead.

The pecu liarity of Iho engine is that it has two sots of driving wheels , one on top of the other. The main driving wheels in the Fontaine engines are to- cuied to an elevated axle , above the boiler , and running in boxca snppor-t od l > y a suitably braced frame , the cylinder and slides being net obliquely and in a diagonal line to the axis of the driving wheel. The driving wheels are of the ucual construction , but do not touch the raila.Resting on the rails arj other driving wheels of llni same size as the upper oneii , with which there i.i a frictional contact.
