JESUS ARRIAGA.
rho Famous Mexican Bandit and His
Escapades.
The Cincinnati Enquirer prints the fol
lowing interesting letter from the City of
Mexico:
The reproduction of a paragraph in one of
the leading papers of this city, taken from
the Liberal , published at Porto Prince,
Hayti, has aroused a great excitement
among the Mexican people; it gives the de
scription of a doctor named Rull who lately
landed in that small republic. According to
the description it is believed hero that lie is
none other than Dr. Jesus Arriaga, a
celebrated thief, whose life is a ro
mance. He is the son of a family who
once stood among the best of Mexican
society, was' educated in the National
School of this city, where he went through
the preparatory studies, and was near to re
ceive his graduation as a doctor at the med
ical college, when he suddenly abandoned
his studies and disappeared in 1888, he being
then 18 years of age. His family and friends
did all they could to find him, but all efforts
were unsuccessful. Some time ago a rob
bery was committed at the “Bazar,” one of
the largest jewelry store's of this city. The
peculiar wav in which it was accomplished
CREATED A GREAT SENSATION
throughout the whole country. The watch
man was found under the influence of chlo
roform, lying almost senseless on the floor;
the doors, drawers and wife cases were all
well locked, and for a moment it seemed to
everyone as though nothing had hap|>eiied,
but that a practical joke had been played on
tho watchman. But on opening the safe
cases and drawers it was found that
more than $50,000 in money and jewels bad
been taken. For some time there was no
clew by which the authors of this skillful
robbery could be discovered, until another
ono occurred at a bank in Guadalajara, one
of the principal cities of the northern part
of Mexico, in the State of Jalisco.
Next door t o the only bank of this city at
that time was a “pasada” (an inn). A
stranger came to the landlord and rented it;
not many days hud elapsed since the stranger
took possession of the passada until the rob
bery occurred. The wall which separated the
two buildings had been bored, the doors and
drawers were opened and locked up again,
and more than SBO,OOO, most of it paper,
was missed. There was no doubt that the
two robberies were perpetrated by mem
bers of the same gang. The following day
the stranger had disappeared; the other peo
ple living in the house were totally igno
rant of what had taken place. This stran
ger had a beautiful child, a gil l 8 years
of age, who left the city, accompanied by a
woman, some days before.
The description of the stranger given by
the proprietor of the house was as follows:
A man of about 30 years of age, erect, thin,
of a medium size and a white complexion;
long black heard and a thick moustache;
good talker, well dressed and of elegant
manners.
, NOW THE DETECTIVES HAD A CLEW,
and it was soon heard that a passenger who
claimed to be a Frenchman was stopped by
the detectives at Vera Cruz; the features of
the man answered the given description.
He was brought to the City of Mexico,and at
his trial it was discovered that, he was Jesus
Arriaga, who had so suddenly left the col
lege. He had been away for 'twelve years.
When he left Mexico he went to Havana
with a girl who was working in a theatrical
company. The girl embarked for Spain, and
he was left alone in Cuba. He turned to
his books, and after some months of prepa
ration he asked to be examined at the Med
ical College of Havana, and received his di
ploma as a medical doctor. He married a
daughter of one of the most aristocratic
families of that city, and lived for a long
time in a quiet, honest manner. His wife
died in a mysterious way, leaving him a
child. Soon after ho went to Mexico under
another name, and was living en front the
“Bazar” in the Calle del Espiritu Santo
(street of the Holy Spirit), when the first
robbery took place, and afterward went to
Guadalajara. Notwithstanding the efforts
of his relatives to save him. he was sen
tenced to ten years of imprisonment. Not
many weeks had parsed when he, boring
through the wall of his cell,
EICAPED FROM THE PENITENTIARY,
and since that day nothing was heard of
him until 1880, a carpenter was arrested at
the City of Orizaba (State of Vera Cruz)
and carried to the city of Mexico, where he
was identified as Dr. Arriaga. It was a sur
prise for the whole city to hear again of this
man. Ho was taken to the court, and when
asked to name his counsel, refused to do it,
saving that he himself would make his
defense.
The day for bis trial arrived, the court
room was crowded, he raised before the
Judge, and turning to the audience, then to
the jury, said: “Gentlemen of the jury, if l
have done wrong, it has been to those who
can not be hurt; to those who have money
enough to help the others and don’t do it. I
defy you to present before me anybody to
accuse me of any felony, of any assassina
tion. No! T never have dropwd a single
drop of blood; I never nave done
any harm to anybody; I can present
you some families, poor families, children
Who have been supported by me for
four and five years. ” At that moment three
old women and six children arose from the
crowd and approached the bar. They were
asked by the J udgo and they confessed to
having been maintained, together with three
more families, by Dr. Arriaga during five
years. Those circumstances won the man
the sympathy of the audience and
of gome of the jury. Tho prisoner
continued: “Part of the money that I have
stolen is invested in works of this kind, and
the rest in my child; not a cent Ims
been wasted in a single thing that has not
been of some utility for somebody'. Since
three years ago I concluded to change ray
life, arid determined to live quietly and earn
my living by working as a carpenter iu
Orizaba, where I have a large shop. In a
word, I am fully determined to mend
myself. Now I appeal to you, gentlemen of
the jury—I appeal to your own conscience
—I olfer, I promise, I swear to be good liore
after,
• FOfl THE SAKE OF MY CHILD,
for the sake of these poor old women and
these dear little children, and for my own
sake—let me go free.” All was in vain. Ho
was sentenc'd again to twelve years impris
onment. He calmly heard his sentence, and
"itb perfect coolness said: ‘’You compel me
to look for myself. I accept the impeach
ment. I will not bo long there." He was
taken to the penitentiary, locked up and
slosoly watched.
The penitentiary is situated toward the
west side of the city, near the Gate of Beleu,
where Gen. Scott on Kept.. 14. 1840. gave his

master of the City of Mexico. I Wore the
entrance of the penitentiary, which looks

clustering curls, black eyes, an oval face

with a sweet dignity and said:
“ ‘Do you come from Mexico?’

“ ‘Do you know Dr. Martinez, of that

“ T think I know the name.’
“ ‘Well, I am his daughter; papa has

“ ‘Dear child,’ I said, trying to hide the

“‘I hope so,’ she said. ‘Good-by.’
“I left the college thinking that ignorance
is, in many cases, a blessing.
The readers of the Enquirer may imagine
with what interest the Mexican people, es
pecially from this city, have read the news
from Hayti.
It is saifi that two detectives have already
started for Porto Prince to identify Dr.
Rull.
CHASED BY A PRAIRIE FIRE.
It Nearly Caught the Hero, and Burned
the Heroine’s Husband to a Crisp.
From the SI. Paul Globe.
A few evenings ago a party of Northwest
ern cattlemen were grouped together in the
rotunda of the Merchants’ Hotel, discussing
different points of the business—to what per
cent, tho loss for the past winter would
reach, the prospects for the coming summer,
the effect of the inter-state tommerco law,
etc. The recent prairie fires in the Northwest,
and also those m Kansas, which caused the
loss of of life and property and destroying
for this season valuable grazing lands, were
made the topic of conversation, when ohe
of the gentlemen said,
“A prairie fire with a strong wind is a ter
rible thing. I have seen several, but
fortunately was never very close to but one,
and it was only by a streak of good luck, or
perhaps Providence, that I escaped alive.”
When the group had settled back for the
story the cattlemen told this incident, which
has romance enough in it for the foundation
of a novel:
“It was in ’75 or ’76, I don’t remember
which,” said the man. “I was in partner
ship in the cattle business with a man,
whose name is immaterial, with our ranch
in Indian Territory, below Medicine Lodge.
We had shipped a drove of cattle to Kansas
City, driving them from the Territory to
Wichita, Kan., which was then the ter
minus of a branch of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe road. The drive to Wichita
was rather disastrous to the stock, the grass
along the route being poor and water scarce.
On the way home from Kansas City it was
decided that we should continue on tne main
line of the road to Hutchinson, from which
place I would take a horse and ride down to
the Territory, while my partner was to go
on to Dodge City, and also take a horse for
heme. The object was to find a more desir
able route on which to dr We our next herd of
cattle in order to reach a shipping point.
Accordingly I stopped at Hutchinson, and
before going to bed was in possession of as
fine a piece of horseflesh as you ever laid
your eyes on. The distance from Hutchin
son to Medicine Lodge was about 90 miles,
which could be reached by a hard day’s
ride. By daylight the next morning I was
in the saddle and riding south. It will be
remembered that at that time Kansas was
little settled west of the central portion,
especially off the line of two railroads run
ning east and west through the State.
Consequently my ride was a rather lonely
one, the majority of .he living things to
be seen being prairie a 'gs, which would
scamper to their holes on my approach.
Occasionally I would happen upon a dug
out,’ but throughout the day I did not see a
solitary house 1 . These dugouts are strange
looking objects to persona unaccustomed to
them. Usually they are simply a hole dug
in the ground, a few poles laid across the
prairie grass and dirt thrown over the top.
The only redeeming feature about them is
that they are cyclone-proof. In some cases
a hole is cut in the side of a hill, but owing
to the nature of the country this form of
habitation is scarce. The day had been un
usually warm, and I hail been riding rather
slowly with a view of pushing on faster
when it had become cooler. A breeze
sprang up from the south and I gave my
horse a tap to urge him on. but not minding
the whip he started off in a different
direction than tho one which we had been
going. He appeared to be uneasy, but I
supposed this was caused from thirst. The
sun had goue down and the wind was in
creasing, bringing with it a faint odor of
burning grass. As it grew dark I could see
a flicker of light at a distance, but thought
nothing of it.' It was not long, however,
before I discovered the cause of the horse’s
uneasiness. Stretching from the right to
left,apparently in a semicircle, was a streak
of fire, and I at once realized that I was in a
dangerous position.
“There was no way to turn
to escape but to turn back, and
I was loath to do that. I stood still some
time, undecided what to do. It would be
foolish to think of trying to break through
this sweeping wall of fire. Turning the
horse’s head m the direction from which we
came, I let him have toe reins. He needed
no urging, and covered the ground in fine
style. I looked back, and was dismayed to
see that even as fast as we were going tho
tiro was gaining on us. Giving too horse a
short cut with the whip he gave a lunge for
ward, but fell, throwing me over his head.
He luid stepped into a prairie dog’s hole and
broken a leg. Seeing that he could go no
further I drew my revolver and ended his
life. The fire was now less than a mile from
me, coming before a terrible wind, the
flames leaping high in the air. Bv the light
I could see a small hill a few hundred yards
away, and my only hope was to roach that,
ri haps. finding shelter on the opposite side.
put forth my best efforts, but before
covering half the distance I could hear the
roar of the flames and feel the heat, while
tho smoke wax suffocating. Making a ter
rible effort, I kept to my feet for a few
seconds more, and then consciousness left
me. When I woke it was morning, and
bending over me wax a young woman.
Remembering what I had passed through,
my first impression was that I was dead and
in—well, where wo all want to go some
time. Hut I soon found my mistake, and
discovered that I was in a cave dug in the
side of a hill. Iu flying from the fire my last
step hail brought me to the door, anil fall
ing, had forced it open. The young woman
was in great distress, and told me that she
feared her husband hail been’ caught in tho
prairie fire. Bhe told me her history very
briefly, saying that she was an orphan, had
been married but a short time, and came
from the. East with her husband to make a
home. Her husband had left her alone two
days before, 'having gone to the nearest
town, and that she hail expected him to re
turn the evening liefore. Hastily eating
wnat she hail prepared, we started in search
of the missing man. The soeno was a deso
late one, as far as tho eve could reach being
a sea of ashi>s. We had gone a little over a
mile when, we found the charred remains of
the woman’s husband. I left her watching
over him while 1 hunted up a habitation, and
securing assistance we buried him near
n-hpre he died. 1 hired a mun to take me to
my ranch, where I found my partner had
arrived all right. Shortly .alter that. I sold
out and came North, but I ihink 1 shall not
forget that part of the country soon.”
Just as the narrator hud ceased speaking a
bright little boy came running up to him
saving:
“Papa, mamma wants to see^ou.
“But what became of the young woman f
was asked in unison by tho rest of the party
as the gentleman arose.
“Well," sold he with a smile, “she has just,
sent our boy after me.”

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1887.
FROM THE TOMB.
Ghostly Visitors That Corua Back of
Nights
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
On tho south side of Madison street, be
tween Elm and Plum, stands a three story
red brick dwelling. This house within the
past two weeks has been an object of awe
and interest among the neighbors. Any eve
ning, after dark, tor the past two weeks lit
tle groups of curious jwople have surrounded
the premises. The story goes that the house
is frequented by spirits and spectre'. Reimta
bleand reliable neighbors say that they have
been eye-witnesses of the most remarkable
phenomena on the premises. The house is
owned by a family named Baker. The Bakers
live on toe first floor. Up to a few days ago
the upper part of the house was tenanted by
Mr. C. Ludeke, the leader of toe orchestra
at Harris’ Museum, and his family. About
three months ago ‘‘old man” Baker, as he
was familiarly known among the neighbors,
and little Edna Ludeke died.
THE TWO DEATHS
occurred the same night. The man died of
old age, the little girl of diphtheria. Edna
Ludeke was a beautiful and interesting
child. She was bright and apt, with a
passion for music, and in the even time, as
her father played the violin for her, would
dance and caper about tho house in
childish glee, her long golden hair
nodding and waving and tos3ing as
she kept time to the time. For
several weeks after the two doaths nothing
unusual was noticed about the house. Oue
evening a few nights ago the neighbors who
command i* view of tfie back porch were
awe-struck by a strange, weird spectacle.
It was about 7:80 o'clock. The night was
still and calm and the moon shone brightly.
Sudden as a flash thereappeared on the back
porch two female figures. The figures were
full length. Both wore clad in the long,
flowing, spotless white,
GARB OF THE SEPULCHRE
One was the form of a child with long hair
falling carelessly over the shoulders. Neigh
bors who knew the little one well and saw
her daily in life, immediately recognized in
the sprite little Edna Ludeke. The other
form was larger and more mature. The eye
witnesses, of whom there were fully a dozen,
at onee came to the conclusion that it was a
daughter of the Baker family, who passed
away some years ago, when just budding
into womanhood. The two spectral figures
waltzed weirdly back and forth on the
porch, while the pale, trembling and
amazed spectators looked on awe-stricken
und breathless. Silently, noiselessly, with
ghostly tread, the two figures floated to and
fro, their white garments fluttering in the
evening breeze. This continued for three or
four minutes; then, quick as a flash, strange
ly and suddenly as they had come,
THE FIGURES VANISHED.
The next evening toe spectators of the
startling sight, and others who had heard of
the phenomenon, were on the alert for a sec
ond visitation. At toe same hour as on the
previous evening toe same two spectral
figures reappeared. They were not full
length this time, as on tne first evening.
Only the heads and busts were visible.
Limbless, footless, the two figures floated in
mid-air. The moon was again in the
heavens, and its bright rays shone full upon
the spectral forms. In a twinkling, while a
soore of witnesses looked eagerly on, the two
female figures merged into one, and forth
came the form of a man, full length, and
CLAD IN WITTTE.
The spectators recognized in the new fig
ure the deceased Baker. “Let’s see what it
is,” said a gentleman who was looking on to
a group that stood about him. “All right,”
said the othor, and they started forward.
As they did so the figure stretched its arm
before it and, clasping its hands before it as
a swimmer does who Is about to dive,
ptunged head foremost off the porch and
vanished in air. The third night the
watchers were again on the alert. This
night the phenomenon assumed a different
form. Instead of figures there appeared at
the window- a wave of light. It seemed to
be about a foot square. It was a light that
looked like gaslight. It would contract and
then expand again, but never to exceed its
original dimensions. Occasionally it would
suddenly change from its square shape to a
long, narrow streak of light. Then it disap
peared altogether. A moment later there
appeared in its stead
A BLOOD-RED BALL OF LIGHT
as large as a saucer. This flitted about like
a will o’-the-wisp. It darted through space,
to and fro, first here and then there. Alter
a minute or two it vanished as mysteriously
as it had appeared. These strange happen
iugs so impressed Mrs. Ludeke, the mother
of the deceased little Ulna, that she pre
vailed upon her husband to seek an
other dwelling, and the family moved to a
new residence a few days ago. The affair is
the whispered gossip of the vicinity, and
the neighbors keep nightly- vigils in expecta
tions of a return of the ghostly visitor.
His Opinion of Booms.
From the Dakota Bell.
•‘Yn-es,” said a man with a beard which
closely resembled a rusty woven wire mat
tress that has been rolled together as a
scroll and then struck by lightning, “yn-es,
these ’ere booms may be all right, tnen ag'in
they mayn’t.”
lie sighed and led us over in a comer away
from the crowd and continued:
“Peerhaps they be, then perhaps they
ben’t. I was up here ter a Dakota town
thet’s havin’ a boom yeste’dav an’ they
hain't all they’re blowed up ter be. No, sir,
not by a big sight.
“W’y, I went inter thet air town an’ I
was standin’ thar chawin’ boughten ter
backer when all at once I hears a dog fight
erround the comer an’ nattur’ly I legs it
erround ’lout as fast as I could Lump conj
for’ably so’s ter git erhead o’ the crowd, but
I might jes’ as well o’ saved my muscle cos
thar didn’t no crowd come. No, sir! It
was ae pertty a fight as ye ever seed b.ut I
was the only witness.
“My friend, thiA hnin’tno time for levity—
I stood thar an’ them dogs fit an’ rolled an’
jest howled an’ I was the only represen’tive
of a degen’rate and boom-struck race ter
watch and ’em!
“I stood their by them dogs, my friend,
an’ I wept—yes, sir, I’m not ersbamed ter
say I wept. An’ while I wept an’ them dogs
hunted for each other’s juggler vein the un
feelin’ jiopulace rushed past an’ platted new
additions, an’ sold corner lots, an’ run hoss
railroads out inter tlui back counties an’ got
eastern spectators inter poker game^
“While 1 stood thar an’ done what I con
sidered was my duty ter encourage sport,
they, unfeclin’ critters, org’nized a board uv
trade!
“When I wept they snorted; when I pulled
the biggest dog off by the tail they opened
thou - mouths back to their cans and boomed.
“They shouted themselves hoarse over a
bonus tor anew groc’ry store while I said
‘be still, sad heart,’ ati’ lifted the smallest
dog's hind legs out uv n liarb-wire fence.
“Where two short months ago every citi
zen in town would ‘a’ come an’ watched the
fight an’ j’ined with mo in shovin’ them
dogs agin each other, now the meanest uv
them would not listen to my entreaties to
stop an’ protir’pate, but drew themsolee up
haughtily and said: ‘Cease, you old blear
eyed jail bird—let the dogs fight from July
to eternity, thar is no noble thing but soilin’
real estate!’ And they folded their hands
under their coat tails an’ put thoir noses up
in the ail an’ walked awuy.
“So ye see, friend, that when at last the
little dog elmweil tip the big ’un I alone was
thar ter slip the collar olrn him*an’ take
his dead body tenderly by tho tail an’ snake
it up inter a alley an’ leave it near tho post
office.
“Pardner, I may be trottin’ in tho wrong
elans, the stream tnnt gurgles past my hum
ble door may not be the black, brackish, al
kali torrent of Hitter crook; I may be
weak as water, poor as hen-grass, an’ with
a spongy intellect mellow us a lullin' glove,
but I toll ye what I don’t take no stock in
these ’ere booms. They break up estab
lished social customs, cause men to wear a
foot off"n each log in the scramble ter un
load real estate an’ warp an’ corrupt idoesof
what eons’itutos true happiness.”
He wiped Ills eye on his sleeve, took a
la#ge drink at our expense and drifted out
into the lonely night.
