An Intrepid Woman Rancher Who Sue
cessfully founded Up a Brace Faro
Game That was Fleeing Her Cowboys
Frontier Justice Tempered with Mercy.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. IA sensa-
tonal story comes from Carbon County,
which brings Mrs. Kate Maxwell, the
owner OF cattle ranch, into prominence
as daring and desperate woman, whose
career may rival that of the notorious
Belle Starr. Mrs. Maxwell is known
among ranchers as ''Cattle Kate, "and has
II her employ about twenty cowboys.
The cowboys have been losing very heav-
lily lately at faro game in Bessemer, run
by Farley & Goodwin. Kate became con-
WINGED that they were being robbed, and,
accompanied by her foreman, both armed
to the teeth, visited the place Monday
night.
With six-shooter in each hand Kate
ordered the faro-dealer to ''get out" He
'got," and while she kept the gamblers
covered the foreman examined the cards
and box and found the game was "brace
game" " lien this was explained to the
big crowd that was present, there was
wild rush made for Farley and Goodwin,
and they were dragged outside and badly
beaten. Some of the crowd went for
ropes and the two gamblers were
given ten minutes in which to
say their prayers. While this was
going on Kate and her foreman Sc
cured all the money about the place
several thousand dollars. Then Kate
was disposed to be merciful, and finally
the two gamblers were put on ponies and
started off for Utah.
The saloon, after being Systematically
pillaged, was burned, and the crowd led
by "Cattle Kate" started for her ranch,
where the money was divided and free
whisky and dancing ended the night.

The French in the south Seas.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2l.-The greatest
excitement prevails at Tahiti in conse-
quence of news of trouble at Samoa This
has been heightened by the operations OF
the French toward Bola Bola, Mufheine
and Raitea, which form the ieeward
islands Of the Society group. The French
authorities have expressed their intention
of taking possession Of these islands, but
have been metwith most determined oppo-
sition on the part Of the natives. The
lower part of the principal island is occu-
pied by the French, but the natives are
beyond their reach, having retired to the
mountain Businesses. When opportunity
offers they descend and harass their
opponents.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.

A Condemned Murderer, After Escaping
and Running at Large Twenty Years.
Captured.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 21.-John Smith,
who was sentenced to death here in 1870,
but broke Jail, has been found near Ar
kansas City, Ark, and Chief of Police
Meffert there has telegraphed here to
know if a reward is outstanding for his
arrest. Governor Buckner recently with
drew all rewards covering that period,
but will probably renew the reward for
Smith.
Smith killed George Off in a saloon row
In 1867. He, Frank Hillerich, Off and an
other were drinking together, when Off
and Hillerich got into desperate fight, in
which OFF had the advantage. Smith drew
knife and stabbed OFF to death. He was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged
June 3, 1870. An appeal was to be taken,
but on May Smith broke Jail. If he is
now returned he can not get an appeal;
the Governor will at once fix the day for
his execution.
After Smiths escape he was heard of
frequently. At the last report he was on
an Australian sheep ranch. Hillerich was
also convicted, but got an appeal and
went free for lack of testimony.

The Lesson of the British Naval Man
euvers.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-Extracts from the re-
port of the committee on naval maneu-
vers in 1888 will be presented to the
House of Commons to-day. They say that
the nation has every reason to be salts
fed with the personnel Of the navy, but
that the main lesson of the maneuvers is
that Great Britain is far from being as
strong as she should be on the seas.
They say; I'VE are decidedly of the
opinion that no time ought to be lost in
placing the navy beyond comparison with
the combined naval forces of any two
powers. At the same time we believe the
navy is strong enough to engage any
single maratime power with success"

Pigott Nearly Collapsed.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2l.-The Evening
Suns London special says: ''After
Pigott had been under cross-examination
for only few minutes to-day the forger
made sad exhibition. He faltered and
hesitated, and it was clear to every one
in the audience that but for the
fact that the court opportune-
ly arose, he would have col
lapsed. Morally and physically ne is
a wreck. The concensus of opinion of
men of all shades of political opinion is
that the Times case has already utterly
broken down. The general feeling is that
Pigott will tomorrow either confess the
forgeries or refuse to answer further
questions and be arrested.
