How a Sharp Western Girl Assisted
in Entrapping a Young Man

From, the st. Paul Mimi Pioneer-Press, June g.
few weeks since the postoffice authori-
ties at Sioux CITY were Informed by one of
the leading citizens of that place that a let
ter. directed to his daughter, had been
opened while in transit from st. Charles,
and a diamond ring, a precious heirloom OF
the family. had been extracted. The letter
had been sent " l. w. Parker, at the lat
fer pIace. who had been engaged to the
younr lady. Parker is a go~od-looking
vounr man. with a dashing style and pol
shed manners. He held a sort of rowing
commission for the telegraph company, re-
naming at different places only a short
time. making female friends in
wherever he went. During his stay at
Sioux CITY he form ed the acquaintance OF
the Young lady mentioned. She is spoken
Of as a bright. intelligent girl, to whom the
outcome of her acquaintance with Parker
has been q source OF much modification and
sorrow. Parker was called away from
Sioux CITY. and upon his departure the
Young couple exchanged rings, Parker re-
ceiving the diamond ring and leaving a
gold one in its place. His business called
him to several different places. In the IN
term rumors of his career reached his Sioux
CITY friends. and their eyes were opened to
his true character. The young lady became
>iIl>ttt1 u tl~
his ring. with the request that Parker
would promptly return the diamond.
If unable to keep the love OF the Sioux
CITY Young lady, Parker determined not TO
come out of the contest without some
trophy. and he concluded that that diamond
would satisfy his ~unrequitted affection. lie
therefore, from St. Charles, penned a short
epistIe TO the young lady, announcing his
Willingness to break the engagement, and
stating that he inclosed the ring. The let
ter was received, the impress of the ring
was upon the envelope, but the ring was
not there. In one corner OF the envelope
was a short cut, showing plainly that after
the sealing Of the envelope it had been cut
open, a hook inserted and the diamond re-
moved. The father of the young lady Ia
formed the postal officers, and the case was
put in the hands of Detective Chlids, OF the
Postal Service. of Maukato. 1t took tour
weeks for the officer to satisfy himself as to
who was the thief. The pOstmasters at the
forwarding and receiving cities, and each
mail agent along the route, were Implicated
at frs, but after a careful search the detec-
tive became convinced that Parker was HIM
self the thief; that he still had the diamond
ring IN his possession. Detective Chllds
went to st. Charles, and there remained In
disguise, s~hadowing Parker continually.
Al last he found it necessary to take the
postmaster at St. Charles into his conf
dence. Parker was paying attentions to a
young lady in that place, and through the
assistance of the pOstmaster's daughter, the
"ld OF the recipient of Parker's attentions
was enlisted to get the ring. The plan Tor
tte detective was for the young lady to get

[ hurch Records

We have heard and seen enough to make
US question the official records of
churches. To be a little particular: one of
the ablest Baptists in North Carolina
himself an ex-editor of decided gifts and a
capital writer-has declared that he is salts
fled that the returns of the Baptist church
exaggerate very much the actual strength,
and in this way: the church books are not
purged as regularly as the should be. We
have heard Methodist ministers say that
they have found the records Of membership
on the circuits in a very unsatisfactory con
dition-that they have found names of per-
sons on church records who had been dead
many years. or who had left the State. or
had CEASED to consider themselves mem
bers.
We havo no doubt that the people of
North Carolina are as religious as the neo.
pie of any State in the Union, but there
are hardly 347, 600 bona tide members of
the various churches. We are quite sure
that If the records were thoroughly scruti
niZed and corrected, that the number of
actual members in the State would fall be
low 800, 900.
In this connection we will be pardoned
fer repeating IAN DER true talen which
we heard long ago. In a certain county
there were two brothers, John and William.
John was a piouS. member of a church and
kept the church record. About once in two
years he revised the list of membership
which was large. On one occasion he got
his brother William, who was not pious.
but who knew the membership pretty well,
to reod over the old list while he, John.
made out a new one. 1t is sIsd that the
record of the church was never so perfect
as then, for ever fellow whom William be.
lieved unworthy was skipped by him, and
consequently was dropped by John, but
without his knowledge. 1t was said that
some two or three years afterward some of
the more devoted members proposed to
John that he should send for his brother
and get him to hold the old book again and
make out a new list. On the occasion re-
ferred to William cleared the book of some
thirty names Wilmington Star.

A NoBLE BEAsT.-A bulldog tina was
stolen from Lord Dufferin, in Canada. a
year ago, turned up lately in Terre Haute,
where she killed a Texas steer in a street
hight. Colonel Burns, of Evansville. bought
her Tor Sllo, and fastened her in his stable.
The Evansville Journal SAYS yesterday.
while the Colonel was leading a horse worth
$1,000 past the dog, she leaped toward the
horse with such tremendous force that the
collar snapped like "a string. She buried
her teeth IN the horses flesh. Colonel
Burns seized the dog by the throat with
ooth hands, and, hurlng her back, threw
himself upon her as she fell. She tore his
SHIRT into shreds. At last with his heavy
boot heel he planted u blow on the forehead
which stunned the beast" The Journal of
Thursday said: Colonel Burns was sitting
on horseback at his front gate Yesterday
morning, when the spotted bulldog dashed
ont OF the side gate, having snapped the
cast-lron chain. He whipped his horse into
a gallop and followed. Captain App, of
the police, was coming down the street in
his barouche, Wien the dog dashed toward
us morse and made a leap at his throat.
Inc morse SHE'D to escape his danger. over

App against Il shade tree with such force as
to dlslocate the right elbow. On Parrett
street the furious dog met a lad and seized

Oh the plank walk and down the embank-
ment. Colonel Burns attacked the dog
with the butt of a heavy whip and knocked
her senseless The horse ran away during
the fight, and has not been recovered. The
dog was hauled home still senseless. The
journal of Friday said "Marshal Langolf
went to the stables to see the dog yesterday.
She lazily yawned and pretended to fawn,
while her great red chops, hanging down,
were opened and closed indolently. Langolf
went to pat her head gently, when she
leaped at his throat. The stout trace held
her back. though her paws caught in the
marshals vest and brought him down on
his knees. He drew his revolver and put
two bullets through her head. With a few
struggles the ferocious beast died"

upon some glass with the stolen diamond,
and secure his arrest with it upon his per
son. The young lady entered into the
scheme, and exhibited an ingenuity in fill
ing her difficult role worthy of her teacher.
but, despite her cunning efforts and many
devices, Parker wouldn't exhibit the dia-
mond. He wrote her initials and other
things upon pieces of glass for her, but
never would show the diamond with which
he accomplished his handsome designs. All
the while the young girl showed no undue
desire to see the diamond, and displayed no
knowledge of his possession of it except
from his own statement that he had a dia-
mond.
The detective was now satisfied with the
evidence furnished by his bright young lady
assistant that Parker was the thief. But the
opportunity had not presented itself to ar
rest the fellow with the brilliant upon his
person. About this time Parker announced
his intention of goingto Chicago. Detective
Childs felt sure that one object of the thief
was to pawn the ring or to have it reset to
prevent its recognition. When the young
man took the train for Chicago. in the same
car, disguised, was an old man. and behind
a pair of dark glasses a pair of keen eyes
watched every movement of the thief. When
the two reached Chicago the Minnesota de-
SSNtiN l. ~ HIS 1lotCi, GIItt
then Informed Detective Stewart, of that
city, also in the Postal Service, of his mis-
sion, and obtained his assistance in watch
ing Parker. At the suitable time.
after keeping an eye on the thief
for two or three days, the detective ar
rested Parker in his room. His surprise
knew no bounds, and he loudly protested
his innocence of any connection with the
theft. He said he had enclosed the ring in
the letter, and supposed that it had been
received. But the officers searched his
clothing, and there found a jewelers. ticket,
showing where he had left the ring with
orders to reset the diamond in a shirt stud.
When this was found, Parker at once
changed his protestatlons of innocence to
piteous pleading. The detective took him
to the jewelers. shop secured the ring, and
with him in arrest Detective Chiles return
ed to Minnesota. He was quietly taken be-
fore the United States commissioner, and
required to furnish 5000 bail for his APP
pearance at the June term of the United
at Winona. Parker was indicted by the
grand Jury. His mother. who lives near
Winona. furnished the bail, but several
days before the court convened it was
known that the bird had flown. The bail
was forfeited, but the most thorough search
by the officers did not reveal his where
abouts. His lawyer stated that he had no
knowledge of the young man, or that he in
tended to absent himself.

REMARKABLE LAwLEssNEss IN ILLINOIS.
Hardin county. located in the Egypt of
Southern Illinois, has produced a gang Of
dcsperadoes, whose robberles and murders
have just been made public through an in
~effectual attempt to bring them to justice in
the county court. The leader is Logan
Belt, a man of great nerve, and SO daring
that he walked into a dancing party at the
house of a neighbor, Tom Oldham, coolly
shot Doch Oldham, a brother of the host,
and then dare any Of the friends to take
it up" Belt has gathered a reckless gang
of his relatives and friends about him,
whom he has used to carry out crimes that
he has planned, and assassinate tho e whom
he dreaded or hated. SO influential is this
clan in the county, that though two Of its
members recently turned States evidence
and unfOlded the secret regulations by
which it is governed, County Judge Taylor
released its members on their own recognl-
zance, after they had been held in the sum of
$500 each to answer indictments. The
Belts came into court in full force, brlngil &
their pistols in a carpet bag. Jonathan
Belt. a Baptist preacher belonging to the
family, conducted the defence. He PLAIN
" told witnesses that he did not like
that they had sworn an infamous
lie. and is now pressing a charge of per
jury against the two who ''squealed" on the
gang. But the better sen iment Of the
county is outraged by the disclosures Of the
trial. which showed that nearly every one
of the Belts had killed his man. They have
also been in the habit of distributing writ
ten warnings to their enemies to leave the
county right away, and it is thought likely
that the growing Indignation at their bar
barities will soon bring them to justice
All this in the loyal Nate of Illinois, the

SHEEP IN SOUTH CAROLINA. {. b.
may use his extraordinary advantages to
good account by adopting The following
plan: Let him by all means hire a boy at
a cost of $50 or 500 a year, but give him
enough sheep to take care of to earn his
wages. Three hundred or 400 ewes can be
herded as easily as 100, and the cost of
watching them will then be reduced to one
third or one-fourth, or ID to 90 cents each
per year. Let him make a pen with a high
fence leaning outwards, and if possible
procure a barbed wire, to run a foot above
the top all around, or get Il quantity of
small, sharp. right-angled hooks to drive
in the top rail OF the fence to keep off the
dogs at night when the sheep are penned.
By li~ttering the pen with fine straw the
manure saved will pay good interest on a
tight board, slab or stake fence s feet high,
and this will keep out any dog. Procure
as many ewes at 81 a head as the pocket
will afford. There is money at that price
in any eve that will bring a lamb. Get
good MerinO rams, one ram for every 30 or
90 ewes. Provide the sheep boy with a
good Collie dog, and give the dog a stout,
brass studded collar to help him in his
battles with the ours. Also gives the boy
a musket loaded with b b shot, and a shrill
whistle, to scare the dogs WITH. The
whistle Will be rs effective as the musaet,
and if otherwise, let a shot follow the
whistle, If the latter is not needed by a
tresspassing cur. The Collie. or two Of
them, will look out for stray dogs, and will
soon give them warning to leave. The
Collies should have a kennel outside Of the
night. For feed during the winter months,
J. c. b. may SOW rye, mustard. rape, tur-
nips, winter oats, barley, or any other green
fodder crop which can be eaten oft the
ground, and if he will give his sheep a little
cotton seed. hulled and cracked, or ground,
his fields Will soon show the benefit. With
such a range, ewes at such a price, cotton
seed at hand at a nominal value, and with
such a climate as South Carolina affords IN
the winter, l would greatly prefer j. Z. BIS
opportunity TO any in the West. ,.
