She Could Not be Fooled Twice

A bright little girl was taken by
her father out into the country to
visit all uncle whom sne called
Walsh. AS the two drove along
the country road, the little one
spied a scarecrow In the field, and
exclaimed: "Oh, papa. there's
Uncle Walsh !" Papa laughed
hugely at the joke, but told her
that sh c was mistaken; that
she saw only a scarecrow. A little
further along and Uncle Walsh's
farm was reached, and away out in
the field was Uncle Walsh at work.
The little girls eyes were first to
catch 81 hit OF him, but she wasn't
to be fooled so easily this time,

DEATH Or A NOTED CRIMINAL
ISAAC NEwsOM, WHOSE CAREER
IN TWO HEMIsPHEREs READS
LIKE A ROMANCE.

Ii r. n
The history of Isaac Newsom, a
famous criminal who died recently
IN this city, reads like a chapter
from romance. Newsom was
born in England, received a fair
education, possessed a pleasing ad'
dress, and became leader of dar'
ing crooks who operated In En'
gland and on the Continent. New.
som was q genius at planning rob-
berries, and he was welcomed as a
guest IN many wealthy b ouses
which he thus had an opportunity
to study and plumber. His victims
were found throughout all Europe,
and his confederates were nervy,
audacious and we'll disciplined.
Having reaped a golden harvest
IN the Old World, Newsom came
to the United States, settled in
Cincinnati, and repeated his tac'
tics. He used to frequent John
Brenazo's saloon, and raked in rich
spcils until he got a load of buck
shot in the bac6 while robblng a
store on Fifth street. He never
wholly recovered from the wound
then inflicted. He was betrayed
by Brenazo through jealousy, and
was sent to the penItentlary in
1854. Rather than work he chop
ped of his own fingers with an axe,
Released in 1860, he went to
Europe, and there, 1t is said, was
one of a gang who disposed of the
Jewels and precious metals, with
assistance from Mother Mendel
baum when required. Newsom
wandered back recently to Cincln
natl, a wreck of his former hand
some self, and soon died 10 penury
after having squandered princelJ
fortunes.
Ga opening the body four buck
shot, fattened ont and matted to
gether, were found encysted IN the
lumbar region. When they had
entered the body they had struck
against the body tissue of the spi
nal column, and had, by pressure
on the nerves, produced parial pa
ralysis. Their presence caused al
most constantly recurring sbsces

highwayman.
Mr.. Mackearcner was taken to
Minneapolis, where, at last ac-
counts, he was said to be recover
ing.
II Is believed the rObber is the
same man who recently held up as
Northwestern and Wisconsin Cen
tral train. As soon as the news OF
the robbery reached Ashland, Sher-
iff Foley aud posse started in pur-
suit. They were soon joined by a
mob under Judge Lynch. A pack
of bloodhounds, with their Indian
tracers, were also brought into
reqnisition. All avenues of escape
were cut of and systematic man
hunt was begun, ending this morn
ing, as above stated.
Postoffice Inspector Pulslfer is
one OF the men who was in the
hunt for the Wisconsin stage.rOb.
Der who was captured last month.
He knows all about the highway
man, who is k.Own as "Black
Bart, the Lone Highwayman OF
Wisconsin, In an interview a
a few days ago Mr.. Pulsifer said
Black Bart is the cleverest woods
man 10 the Northwest. His proper
name is Reimund IIolzhey. His
first attempt at stage robbIng was
In April last, when he held up a
stage going from Pulslier to 81
mond. He shot the horse and
went through the passengers, but
got nothing. In the second at
tampt he secured mail.pouch con.
tanning several hundred dollars in
money and robbed two passengers
of $50. His third plan was made
on the stage running from She
mario to Inglade, ou the Menom
lne Indlsn reserve. Two passen-
gers we're robbed of 800 and a
mail.pouch containing some money
was secured. Again Black Bart
tackled a stage on the Milwaukee
and Northern railroad line and rob
bed it. An hour later he robbed a
train. Following his train.robbery
he entered the village of Bonduel
and compelled Phillip Cam, the
proprietor of general store. to de-
liver the money in the safe. This
amounted to $50. He was fully
recognized by Mr.. Cam. His next
exploit was the robbery OF the
Wisconsin Central sleeper, which
he rounded off by murder in rob-
blng the stage of the GOgebie Lake
Line. Block Bart is a German and
IS twenty two years old. He took
to the lite of rObber as the result
of reading dime novels.
A dispatch from Bessemer says :
The highwayman Holzhey, under
the escort of Sheriff Foley, reached
North Bessemer. They took the
stage there, and proceeding to
Bessemer arrived at that place,
where the robber was safely Jailed.
Very little excitement was mani
tested.

And, daintlest of misses,

But ali too oft she's lowering.

BUT GOT LEFT.

One OF the exGursiOnists landing
at Brighton Beach the other day
seemed exactly fitted to the term
"green as grass" He was an old
ish man, with the scent of burdocks
in his clothes, and as he moved
around he left trail OF hayseed
behind him. He had no sooner left
the train than he approached
young maD who was negligently
leaning against post at the en-
trance to the depot, aud raid:
"By gum! but This Is nice. Pye

"You bet it does, but Pve got

He pulled a fat wallet from his
hind pocket and patted il affection
ately, and confdentially whispered;
"R.h.i.n.o. rhinO! Come and
have a drink of sassaparilly and
soma ice cream"
The two were soon fast friends.
Several phlla nthrOpists tried to
signal the old man that he was in
tow Of a pickpocket, but he was
obllvious. The young man "steer-
