Tho arrest of Lewis Seldon, colored per
ter of a buffet car, and Wayne Bhoup, a
whit barber, both employed on the Northwestern-Union
Pacific overland passenger
train. Is believed by th official of these
rallroadn to solve th mystery of tbs nu
merous robberies which passengers of lata
htve complained of. The arrest of tha two
men was brought about by 3. C. Fanning
and E. R. Stevens, detectives employed by
tha Northwestern road. Beldon and Bhoup
are now sojourning In tha county Jail pend
ing tha determination of their preliminary
hearing on a charge of larceny from the
person, which was begun before Justice
Bryant yesterday afternoon.
Tot the last six months the Northwestern
rgllroad haa received complaints from pas
sengers on th overland limited who had
been robbed of various sums of money,
Only a week ago on passenger reported th
loa of flftO. Investigation led to th sus
picion that Beldon and Shoup wera respon
sible for tha theft and, that the victims
were robbed while In th barber ahop com
partment of th buffet car.
Special Officers Fanning and Sterans wera
detailed on the case. Thursday night they
assumed the role of passengers on the over
land limited. ' In his coat pocket Detective
Fanning carried a notebook containing a
number of marked 110 bills, th number
of everyone of which had been written
down on a slip of paper. Th two detective
were apparently traveling for pleasure with
plenty of mney to spend and they trot
quently patronised the buffet, taking, how
ever, careful note of everything they or
dered and paid for and at the same time
keeping tab on what Porter Beldon suppltel
to other, passenger.
' Both Are Attentive.
Early yesterday morning tha two detec
tive arose from their berths In the sleeper
and repaired to th buffet ear where they
ordered something to "brace up" on. Do
teotlve decided he wanted a shave. Bar
ber Bhoup was most accommodating and
attentive to hla customer. Hot towels in
plenty were spread over his faoe to keep
away that "tired feeling.'' Porter Beldon
wa equally attentive .and-, rigorously
brushed the detective- coat. All this time
DeUctlv Stevens waa watching from a
point of vantage. The porter finished
brushing the coat and the barber Uniahee
shaving Detective Fanning, who . rejoined
hla companion In the buffet compartment.
Barber Bboup waa seen to rejoin Porter
Seldon and then the two detectives de
cided the time waa rip for action. They
surprised the two men Just ae the porter
waa handing the barber a $5 gold piece.
Hastily pulling open the -portsr'.. cash
drawer in the buffet, . Detective Fanning
discovered, as h alleges, on ot bl marked
$10 bill which he had prevloualy missed
from his note book. He had taken care to
note that all th bill were In th book
before he ' went Into the barber's chair.
The porter and barber were at once placed
under arrest and on th train,, reaching

by Alstant Attorney Kimball which the
court decided lie should. Th court
threatened to commit him for contempt It
hs persisted tn his refusal hut the two
colored men refused to answer It. The ques
tion asked him was whether the rules of
the company did not require him to use a
certain check book tn which to keep ac
count of all .good sold from th buffet.
Thla question waa asked during Seldon'
cross-examination, aa be claimed that the
money found in hla drawer had been re
ceived In payment for drinks aold by him
aad tha ' proaeoutlon wa endeavoring to
chow that no such sum of money could hat
been received when compared with tha
goods sold.

Attorney General Multan today rendered
a decision oa behalf of . the auditor of
slate affecting the salary of a Judge ap
pointed to fill a vacancy since the passage
of the law Increasing the pay of Judges
from $2,600 a year to $3,600 a year. Judge
W. S. Kenyon of Dodge and Oovemor Cum
mins appointed George, W. Dyer ot Ne
vada to fill the vacancy for the unexpired
term. Tha state auditor was at a loss to
know what compensation to . pay Dyer,
Since the law Is now that a Judge shall have
the larger salary. - Attorney General Mul
len quotes the section of the oonstitutloc
referring to the term of office being for
tour yeara and that the pay of a Judge shall
not be increased or diminished during his
term. "In the case under consideration,"
say the attorney general, "Judge Kenyon
was sleeted for the term of four years.
At the time of his election the compensa
tion fixed by law waa $2,600 per annum.
It Is clear that under the proviaions ot
tha constitution referred to his compensa
tion could not be Increased or diminished
during the term tor which he was elected.
Judge Dyer was appointed to fill such
vacancy. The term of office which
he was appointed to fill la a part
of the asms term to which Judge Kenyon
waa elected. He atands precisely m the
same position, so fsr as the terra of office
which he holds is concerned, as Judge Ken
yon would have stood had he not resigned,
with the single exception that under his
appointment ha only holds ths term' to
which Judge Kenyon waa elected until
the next general election." Th attorney
general, therefor, concludee that it I the
same term of office and tb' salary cannot
be Increased during tb term.

CORRECTS FIRST TESTIMONY
Camilla Weldenfeld Recalled as Wit
ness la Merger 8nlt and Kxam.
laed ' by Oathrle.
' f- ' V
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. When the hearing
In tha case of Peter Power against the
Northern Pacific director Waa continued to
day Herbert Limberger, counsel for H. Con
tent Co., appeared with records ot trans
actions between that firm and Camilla Weld
enfold. Entries ss to the purchass of 100
shares of Northern Pacific stock by Weiden
feld on December 2$, 1901, and ot payments
ot cash on account Of Weldenfeld and Cap
tain 8;ern were put in evidence. The ac
count ot Ellsworth I. Chapman waa asked
for, but Limberger declined to produce it,
on the ground that it waa not pertinent.
Mr. Guthrie pointed out that, the Power
suit wss only one of several brought against
the Northern Pacific for the "same purpose.
Therefore, he thought that the entries of
suit brought by Mrs. Chapman, waa perti
nent to the Power suit But Mr. Limberger
pleaded privilege. :
Mr. We'.denfeld was recalled aa a witness.
He desired to make some corrections of his
prorlous testimony,:, .
i "I was asked," be said, 'lf I bought stock
for Ellsworth Chapman , or Mrs. Sophie
Chapman?. 1 find thst I,bought through Con
tent & Co. 100 shares of the Northern Pa
cific stock.' The price wa 189H- She paid
ty check, -cm January J.9, $18,944.10. Deliv
ery wa made to' Mr. Chapman.. I do not re
member wheee check It wa. ' "
"In relation to the Bouden stock, In the
conference with Judge Lancaster, . it was
understood tbst suit coulff only 'be brought
by a stockholder. Oovernor VanSant said
be would have nothing to do with any
'strike.' He would not. touch the caae un
less it was understood that the action would I
be carried , to the supreme court oft the
United States If necessary. It wss after
that that Mr. Bowden qualified and hs op
posed tbe suit." , '
Replying to . questions - by Mr. Outhrle,
counsel for tbe Northern Pacific., Mr. Weld
enfeld aaid that E. R. Thomas (a banker)
waa at first adverse to the present litiga
tion, but that he talked him Into It. That
was after Mr. Lamb'a visit to tha west. The
witness had shortly before stated that he
and Mr. Thomas had Jointly purchased 400
shares of Northern Peclflo stock.
"Did not Captain Stern or Mr. Lamb tell
you," Mr. Guthrie went one, "that Judge
Lancaster had declined to go one with tbe
caae .unless hs was convinced that Peter
Power was a bona fide stockholder?"
"I don't remember," was tbe reply.
"Did not Judge Lancaster send you word
he would have nothing to do with the Oreat
Northern suit if It was to be a 'strike'?"
"I understand he sent aome message."
said Mr. Weldenfeld.. , ,
Asked why be did pot personally sue, the
witness said that Lamb had told him he had
a plaintiff. Witnesses' stock wss sent out
to the western meeting.
"Then why did you . go to Mr. Thomas to
procure a plaintiff instead of suing your
self If you bad any grievance to redress?"
queried Mr. Outhrle. -.
"I think Mr. Thomas' had the stock. I
really cannot answer the question," replied
Mr. Weldenfeld.
Replying to Mr. Lamb, he said he did not
authorise Cap'aln Stern to make a payment
to Mr. Lamb to defray the expenses ot the
trip west to confer wKh Mr. Osborn and the
others. He asid he had never heard Peter
Power's name until the suit waa firat filed,
and he learned of the suit Itself through the
newspapers.
