FATE COULD NOT HARM HIM.

The Feeling of Security of Man
Whose Life Was Insured for $40.
Washington Post.
They are tearing down old houses
all over the city to make room for the
more modern house. While these
houses are being demolished there is
usually class Of people who crowd
around, eager to pick up all stray
pieces of wood which come in their
direction. Colored people generally
predominant in this class, and many
a family is thus supplied with fuel.
While tearing down house in the
northwest section of the city recently
the workmen were very much both
cred by these "wood hustlers,' as
they term them.
The wood hustlers" in this case
were composed, with but one excep-
ton, of small negroes. This excep-
ton was an old negro who had one leg
shorter than the other and was near
ly bent double, but whether with age
or not no one knew. He looked as if
he had worked hard all his life, but
appearances are deceitful.
The workmen became so incensed
at the wood hustlers" that they
drove them all away excepting the
old man. After 8 while the old man
became more bold and endangered
himself in trying to get pieces of
wood. One of the workmen spoke to
him about it, telling him he would be
hurt If he persisted in getting in the
way. The old man mumbled out
something, but paid no attention to
the warning.
Finally, he got close to the wall
and stopped to pick up a piece OF a
beam. JUST as he was STOPPING
brick fell in front of him, and he
narrowly escaped being hit. Seeing
this, a workman yelled:
Look out, ole man, or you'll be
killed"
II doan't kare." replied the old
man, and he continued to contiscate
all the wood that came within his
reach. Again he barely escaped
being hit with another brick, and
again the workman shouted:
II done tole yer onst to git away
from dere The ustthing you know
you won't know nothing"
II doan't kare," reiterated the old
man, looking around for more wood,
and, seeing some in the interior of the
building, ne went for it. He had
hardly passed the door when heavy
beam fell in the place he had just va
Gated, enveloplng him in cloud of
dust. Several workmen, thinking
that the heavy beam had pinioned
the old man to the ground, jumped
down to render all the assistance
possible. Imagine their surprise
when, on reaching the place, they
found the old man gathering the
wood as unconcernedly as though
nothing had happened. The work.
men were speechless for while, and
then one said:
Look a'har, ole man, you'll have
to git out o. this. WedOn't care bout
losin' time er carryin' yer corpous
through the street."
The old man looked contempluous-
ly at the speaker, and then said in a
dom t-give-a-continent tai tone:
"G'way niggers, I don't care. 1
jist had my life 'sured TO- forty dol
lars"

IT is now charged, and that in high
quarters, that the Chicago stockyards
strike was induced by old members of
the stockyards company, who, after
the sale of the yards, transferred their
operations to Kansas City, Omaha
and elsewhere, and by this move
were trying TO drive out the Chicago
packers. The removal of the slaught-
er house of Morris to Jersey City gives
color to this report. If true, it but
shows how, like footballs, the public
and the railway companies and their
employees are, when the efforts of in
terested unscrupulousness are pooled
for their control. A thorough system
of state and national arbitration.
whereby all strikes would be avoided
would remedy this evil also.

HITCH IN THE FOOT RACE,
the Hawthorn Men Claim
the Forfeit Money!,

There is a strong possibility
that the foot race will not be run,
as the hackers of Rosenthal claim
the forfeit money on the grounds
that 81, 900 was not deposited in
the bank on Saturday last. The
articles name Saturday as the day
but Furlong insists that DR.. Reed
afterwards made a verbal agree
ment that the money could be put
up Monday or Tuesday. He de-
posted $1,000 on Monday. but the
Hawthorne men claim the $500 on
the ground that the money was
not up in time.
Furlong has attached the money
and a law suit is in prospect.
The best way would be to waive
technicalities and run the race.

THE sTREETER CASE
The Ola Man Now Relieved
to be Innocent.

TO D9 innocent.
| There is now sojourning in the
State Prison a man named StreeteI
who WIS sentenced to imprison-
ment twenty years for the crime
of incest.
He came from Ellko county and
at tile time of the trial the feeling
in the county was very bitter
against him.
Since the trial facts have come
to light which tend to prove his
innocence and an effort is being
made to secure his pardon. The
principle witness against him was
his daughter who swore that be
was the father of her child. 1t is
now alleged that he was the vic
tim OF a conspiracy put up on
him by his rwo daughters and a
young man who was paying atten-
ton TO one of them.
Streeter is worth nearly $780,
600 and very close in money mat
tiers. 1t is claimed by his friends
that his two daughters got an
idea that in his will he had made
no provision for them and they
determined to force him to do so.
He states that when he was first
charged with the crime, the man
who was paying attention to his
daughter came and offered for
SIS, 900 to swear that the prospec-
tive child was his.
He declined to pay any money
as he felt that he was innocent. |
Then his other daughter sided !
with the first and swore against |
him.
His wife, a young woman, sided
with her husband and refused to
believe in his guilt. He was so
certain Of his ability to prove his
innocence that he refused to re-
tain a lawyer.
Since his Incarceration the man
vhome he alleges made him the
offer to swear to the paternity of
he child for $4,000, married the
mother Of the child and the two
,ave gone East.
It would hardly seem that such
! marriage would have taken
,lace if the husband considered
he charges against his father in
aw true.
Another curious feature Of the
flair is that he really had made
mple provision for both his
in his will, but after
heir action he revoked it and
made a new one, cutting them off
18th nothing.

THE ELLIOTT CASE.
Inyo County People Ask for
HIS Release.

The Inyo Cal Independent says
L x-payers representing $40, 9OC
o. assessed property signed the
p -Ition that was presented to
the Supervisors on last Monday
evening asking for a dismissal of
Of the Elliott case.
This petition was offered for
signatures at but three places in
the namely, Bishop, Lone
Pine and Independence-and veiy
little effort was made to obtain
signers.
We believe that every signer Of
that petition believes Elliott guilty
Of murder. but every one Of them
believes that it is not possible to
convict him Of murder In Kern
county.
The same paper contains the
following: Last Monday Sheriff
Kldred had a letter from Elliott
in reference to the approaching
trial. Elliott asks to be excused
from writing at greater length
as a carriage was in waiting to
take him to Belleview. He would
take trip up tc Inyo county to
see his friends il he could secure a
good team and be sure OF getting
back to Bakersfield in time for the
trial. The impunence Of this in
fernal scoundrel is almost beyond
belief.

SHORT SToRIEs.-Fred Somers

established a monthly magazine In
New York called Current Litera'
ture. In about a year it has taken
rank in public favor over the old
periodicals, and is now one of the
best magazines properties in New
York. Encouraged by the sue
cess of this venture Somers now
publishes little magazine called
"Short Stories," which is beyond
question the daintiest publication
Of the kind ever attempted. The
cover, paper and type attract the
cultured eye at once. One accus-
toned to cheap and trashy works
would pass it by at once as too rich
for him, but the man or woman
with the genuine scent for a good
thing would pounce on it quickly

great mass of stories one must
hunt the old, turgid magazines a

case Mr.. Somers does the hunting
and the reader gets the benefit of
his work. In this sort of litera-
ture he has unquestionably struck
the high water mark. Ask your

A LUCKY MAN.
T. =. Holloway Draws S7,5co

T.. =. Holloway Draws S7,5cc
in the Denver State lottery.
Mr.. T. F. Holloway, whois own
er OF - newspaper stand at tue
southeast corner of -econd and
Walnut stl eets, has suddenly come
into considerable wealth, because
he was fortunate enough to hold
ticket 1880 in the Denver State
Lottery.
Mr.. Holloway has invested in
other lotteries before but this is
I his first trial in the Denver lottery.
A week before the monthly draw
ing of the Denver State Lottery,
he invested Scots. for a whole
ticket, and on the 18th of this
month received notice that he
had won the first prize.
A few days after this Mr.. Hollo-
way received 375 twenty dollar
pieces by the Wells, Fargo Elk
press Company.
Mr.. Holloway is greatly elated
over his good fortune, but is as
yet undecided in what manner he
will dispose of it.
The Denver State Lottery is
comparatively a new institution in
this city, but has shown its inte-
gritty and its fair method of doing
business by the prompt manner in
which the claim of Mr.. Holloway
was met.
The claim Of Mr.. David Oliver,
of 1923 Charlotte street, Kansas
City, Mo-, who held ticket 25287 |
and drew 81 $50 as the third capt. |
tai prize, has also been promptly !
met.
The tickets are in wholes and
halves and are sold at Scots. and
twenty-five cents. Mr.. B. F.

dent agent of the Company at the
