towird town at breakneck speed.
Reaching the jrtaza he notified the policeman on the beat of the holdup and
said one of the holdup men had followed him a block toward town- The offi-
cers went on a hunt for the robbers but did not find them and Crawford rode
home on a street car.
Actress Divorces Husband
Who G-ave Her a Six Min-
ute Kiss on Wedding Eve.
DIVORCE ISSUED
IN" SAN FRANCISCO
Denver Colo. Feb. 5. "Heavens! May
Buckley obtains a divorce on the ground
that her husband -was cruel to her. If a
man -who gives his fiancee a soul kiss
lasting- six minutes by the clock can be
cruel to his wife -what can we expect of
men who do' not kiss at all?"
This was the tenor of the exclamation
that went the rounds of the smart set
last night when it was learned that May
Buckley (our May) the pride of Elitch's
Gardens during several seasons and the
pet of Denver society -was yesterday in
San Francisco granted a divorce from
Charles "Walter Martin Sabine -whom
she married at the witching hour of
midnight under the apple trees at
Elitch's on! June 27 1908 says the News.
Although the news of the divorce
caused a sensation the fact that the
pretty actress got the decree on the
ground of cruelty brought the greatest
surprise.
Never apparently -was there a onore
ideallc dove match than that of Martin
Sabine and May Buckley. When he ar-
rived to claim his bride on June 23 his
first act on stepping from the train was
to pick up'bisliWena1?c&na3a greet
her with a soul kiss that lasted six mln---utes
by the clock at the union station.
When the news of that enduring kiss
became noised abroad through the city
it caused the breaking ot several en-
gagements it is said because the young
anen could' not come up to the standard
set by the Englishman.
"He certainly must love her" quoth
the disconsolate maidens "or he wouldn't
kiss her so enchantingly."
That Buckley-Martin kiss was put
down as the supreme test of true
love and the swains who failed had
solitaires to sell cheap.
Then came the romantic marriage un-
der the apple tree when the couple
swore eternal love unJer the stars and
it was deemed that in comparison with
this affair all others sank into insig-
nificance as far as romance and true
love were concerned. No one had a doubt
but they would bill and coo the rest of
their lies and that never a harsh wora
would be spoken on either side.
According to the dispatch from San
Francisco the suit was aiot contested.

of a log on which he was seated six stories ahove ground.

servation." "And that Includes the Alaska' coal

terjected senator Sutherland.

that they do duty every day. Seen all permit to take out meter. Seen that send
out bills. Seen that constructors pay bills every day to settle all disputes.

Flights at Denver and Salt'
Lake Are Branded as
"Flukes" andv Failures.
MUST FULFILL
CONTRACT HERE
Expressions of disappointment over
Paulhan's flights in the only two iowns
in .the -west ffvhere the Frenchman hs
given exhibitions since leaving Los An-
geles wHl cause those who are atxeanpt-
lng to bring him to El Paso to take
steps to see that every provision of bis
contract Is fulfilled when he comes
here.
Paulhan appears to have been a dis-
appointment in Denver and Salt Lake
where he did not fulfil his agreements.
The Salt Lake Telegram of January
31 says":
"Was fizzle by Paulhan intentional?
Aviation 'meet conducted with little re-
gard for promises iniade. (Treats Salt
Lakei's like a lot of nutts.
"M. "Paulhan and his crowd 3eft Salt
Lake at 7 oclock this morning for Den-
ver where aerial exhibitions are an-
nounced for tomorrow.
"The Frenchman solemnly vowed that
when he reached Ms highest point in the
koir near -the lair grounds yesterday ha
had sent his biplane to the highest al-
titude it could attain.
"During nearly all his short flight the
tops of trees not 60 feet high could
be seen above the "machine. He says he
got up 300 feet; it looked like about
100 or 150 to most of the spectators
when he was at his best."
There is a lot more but this Is enough
to show what Salt Lake thought. It is
also enough to make the El Pasoans
careful to see that he complies with his
I contract If he comes here.
Ih Demver.
The Denver TImes of February 2 says
of Paulhan's flights there:
'Thousands disappointed by failure of
Paulhan to fly at time fixed. Flight to
the height of cot more than 300 feet not
made until vast "majority of spectators
had left grounds disgusted with at-
tempts. "Louis Paulhan the French man-bird
made four short flights at Overland park
yesterday afternoon in the presence of
50000 people who witnessed a real air-
ship In action for the first time in their
lives. -The flights were not up to the
expectations of the thousands who had
paid a large admittance fee to see tha
exhibition. The people of Denver how-
ever were given a practical demonstra-
tion of a machine heavier than air
which lifted Itself above the surface of
the earth and flew through the air with
the grace of a bird.
'The real event of the afternoon did not
occur until almost dusk and after a
large part of the immense throng- of
people had become wearied and depart-
ed for the city. The biplane ascended te
