AFRICA'S BANK R0BBER.
Exciting Chase the Police Had for
Him After His Escape.

Him After His Escape,
An interesting account is given by the
Johannesburg star, of South Africa, of
the police chase after McKeon. the bank
robber, whose ACHE yements in the matter
of perpetrating robberies, escaping from
jail and Guiding the police eniitle him to
rank with the notorious Jack Sheppard.
and whose regard for his clever black
horse reminds one of Dick TUrpin.
In the hurried start after MIckeon when
he escaped from the Pretoria iaIl, says the
newspaper i'll question, the mounted
police forgot 10 take handouts with
them.
Further, McKeon had friends all along
the route. lie was born i'll BaSutoland,
and every Bnsuto is his fast friend, even
to Mann. Consequently, when the
police inquired along the road of Basutos
II they had seen two men pass ON horse
back they invariably said that they had
not,
McKeon's love for his famous black
horse, now ut the mounted-police bar
racks, was extraordinary. The police
had to have three remouuts before they
could run that horse down. Two of the
mounted police sighted McKeon md
Cooper far ahead of them. They spurred
on after them. thinking that they would
bring the fugitiyes TO halt on the steep
Dunk Oh tile "lIllcnOSttr HlNef.
What was their surprise, however, when
they saw McKcon help his horse down
the t~wenty-fOot bank into the rive, SWIM
across. and, when he saw Cooper's horse
would no follow, come back, and, reach
ing out, pul! Cooper's horse down by the
bride and drag him through.
One of the policemen had a rifle and re-
solved to take n long shot. When Nc
Keen saw the smoke of the gun rise lie
and his companion drew their horses
apart, and the bullet passed between
them. Shortly after Mckeon drew his
die, ana stood patting his horse on the
head.
The police approached and he snrren-
two revolvers with the remark that he
he was enriching the Government with
rovolvers, for this was the sixth il had had
from him. He said he gave himself up
because he did not wish to kill his horse.
Cooper handed over his revolver, too,
looking ra her glum.
Mckeon said he knew he would receive
twenty-five lashes; hut he would Only
stay in jail for eight months. when he
would once Lore say good-by to the
authorities.
lie did not know why they had given
him twenty-five years. for he had not
murdered any one o. stolen a sheep or
OK. Robbing a bank of its surplus was
no crime.
The police were entirely taken off their
guard, and, consequently, at daybreak
the next morning the birds had flown
unobseryed 10y them. Mckeon las since
been recaDtureu at Ladybranu.

A CHINESE PIRATE STORY.
How the Robbers Were All Neatly
Bagged by a Cunning Trick.

How the Robbers Were All Neatly
Bagged by a Cunning Trick.
A short time ago q Chinese Junk was
boarded by eight pirates near NewchAng,
say the Shanghai Mercury. and the crew
of the junk came frankly forward and
told the robbers that there was nothing
OF any value ON board, as the vessel was
in ballast.
The pirates. being good. humored fel.
lows, laughed at the fools errand they ld
come IN and asked the boatmen could
they have u meal at least alter their
trouble.
The boatmen, apparently delighted to
get oil so easily, replied in the affirmative
and uncovered the matches leading To the
hold, whittier they told the pirates TO de-
scend before them, while the chow was in
course of preparation.
The pirates, never dreaming of any
trick from h harmlcss-l ookiug old Loaf
men, did Us they were told: but they
were no sooner below than the boatIntn
fastened down the matches again and
caught them fairly in "a trap.
Not content with having captured the
plTa'es, or else fearing 10 trust such ems
toners, the bOatmen s~traightway flooded
the hold with the intention of drowning
the pirates like rats.
In their alarm the pirates began TO fire
their guns at one another. In a little
time, however, all was quiet in the hold,
and the boatmen concluded from tho
silence that all was over.
So they ran iheir junk inshore and com
municated with the authorities. A pnrtv
OF troops came on board, and when they
raised the matches discovered five of he
eight pirates dead and the other three in
a dying condition.
The Survivors were handed over to ius.
tlee and suffered the penalty OF the law.
The boatmen were suitably rewarded for
their bravery and presence of mind.

What an a~bsurdity for New York to get
into a ferment as to whether Mrs. WILL

AsroR is Mrs. AsToR." The point does
not take q Solomon for its solution.
Be 1t known TO all whom it may
concern that, as a wife's rank in
this country is determined by her hus-
bands, and as there is no manner of
doubt that WILLIAM WALDORF AsroR is
"Mr. Aston" it follows by the sternest
logic that pretty Mrs. WILLIE Aston is
