New wrinkle In shoplifting Told by
an Old Detective.


= New wrinkle In shopllning Told by
an Old Detective.
"The ingenuity expended by Grim
lnals in their efforts to get other peo-
ple's property, and also to regain their
liberty when they are captured, is n
constant source Of interest to me, !" said
an old detective the other day. "The
escape Of Shanahan, the thief who was
going up to Sing Sing. is an appropri-
ate example of this. He unlocked the
handcuf that bound him and bolted
of to a cab that was in waiting for
him. Now, where did he get the key
10 unlock the bracelet2 He was thor
oughly searched before he was led out
of the city prison, and the theory is
that a relative who kissed him goodby
as he was about to step into the prison
van slipped the key from her mouth
into his as their lips met A pretty
trick, wasn't itl
Here is another one that came un-
der my observation the other day; A
woman went into a iewelry store and
sat down on a stool before the counter
to look at some diamonds. She was
eating an apple at the time Presently
the clerk missed a fine stone from the
trayful she was examining and as he
was accustomed to the ways of shop
lifters, he accused her of the theft.
''She protested vehemently at this
insult, but a policeman was called in
and she was searched. The stone was
not found and then the woman began
TO threaten a suit for damages. In
order to avoid an unpleasant scandal,
the proprietor was about to offer her
fifty dollars, when the police officer
prevented him.
He had been questioning the clerk
about the woman's actions in the shop
and had learned that she had been eat
ing an apple when she entered. That
aroused his suspicion. Where was that
applet The woman had made face
over it and had thrown it out on the
sidewalk. Then the clerk remembered.
Let her CO. said the policeman, she
will not bring any suit So the woman
went away without any money and
vowing vengeance. The policeman
sent the clerk to follow her. She was
soon Joined by another woman, and
before long they got into a quiet corner
and the second woman produced the
half-eaten apple from her pocket and
gave it to its original owner. The
clerk continued to follow them, and he
told the first policeman he met what
he had seen. This officer arrested the
woman and the apple was taken from
her. Pressed far into it was found the
diamond that had been missed from
the tray. New York Tribune.

what a Tarantula Looks Like.

The Mygale tarantula sometimes
spreads over six inches square, but more
frequently four or five inches. The
writer has a stuffed specimen that ex
tends about six and half inches. A
shaggy coat of hair covers the surface
of the great spider 1t is supplied with
six long, bony legs and two dangerous
pedipalps or strikers, each armed with
a sharp sting and poison sac. The
strikers are frequently mistaken for two
long legs and from this aEises the idea
that the creature has stings on it's feet.
Two powerful projections, resembling
jaws, protrude from the head. Under
each of these is a curved poison fang,
similar to cats claw, but longer lex
actly like those of rattIesnake), which
may be lifted, extended and hooked
into the victim. A person thus stung
or bitten must cut the tarantula away
at once, for the spider does not seem
willing to unhook its fangs. Florence

Where Bodies PetrIfy.

When the new cemetery was located
at Rapid City, s. D., the remains OF
the little son of Mr.. Eugene Holcomb
were disinterred for removal. This, /
believe, was the first case of actual hu-
man petrefaction observed in the hills.
Later on dozens were found TO have
been transformed into solid rock, which
plainly preserved every feature, even
20 the delicate tracing of the veins in
the temples, wrists and hands. At
Deadwood the remains of that famous
frontiersman, Wild Bill, were also
found TO be petrified. These things
may sound strange and unlikely, espe.
cially to those residing In tho east, but
Ia the Black Hills region it is an open
secret that not one corpse In a dozen
turns to dust. st. Louis Republic.

sArnRnAY,s IouRNAL

DhA DhsA - HC1 Af+FHNAf
had interviews with nearly one
hundred business men, all of whom
expressed tbemselvs in strong Lam
guage denouncing the Statesman's
fire fake. We could just as well
have printed another hundred SINH
lar interviews and today the ex-
pressions continue to roll in. The
JOURNAL realizes that only by the
most vigorous efforts can the evil
effects of the fake publication be
counteracted. This morning the
insurance men are hard at work and
will no doubt reap a big harvest,
even If they do not succeed In get
ting rates raised. Every effort
must be made to prevent an advance
and that is just what most business
men seem to fear. All realize that
even if the advance can be stopped,
insurance dealings with Salem
will be on a great deal sitter basis
and many privileges heretofore
granted will have TO be revoked.
MORE EXPRESSIONS.
Chief Engineer Low: "It was
the d-dest piece Of foolishness l
ever heard of in my life. Sunday
morning we found the hydrant at
Ferry and Church streets had the
valve broken off and the cheering az
the Statesman office was not found
ed on the facts, as examination
showed plenty of water and good
pressure"
Banker Wallace: "The water
company does not pretend to furnish
pressure to throw water over the
highest buildings. 1 have twice
asked the city council to make better
and larger connections with the
mains, for these hydrants are in
sufficiently supplied by p to 8 in.
connections, except those at the
state house. The steamers demand
a Ain. supply from hydrant and it
is the duty Of the city to make those
CONNECTIONS with the fire hydrants.
Such reports brand the paper print
ing them as perfectly irresponsible" ]"
A business man: "Because Lynch
and Saubert, of the Statesman, have
had trouble with the fire department
and were practically fired out Of it.,
is not good reason for burning the
town and frightening people,"
Ike Patterson: at was a detri
mental thing to our city"
Squire Farrar: at was q slam on
the city government, on the fire
department and on the water works
aud L am glad too see you are
knocking it silly. The whole thing
is rank injury to our city and busi-
ness interests and entirely unsup-
ported by the facts"
Will Brooks: at was bad piece
of work.
Landlord Anderson: at laid the
town open for the dissatisfied rock
beaters to burn it down"
DR.. Jessup: ut was an extremely
dangerous thing to do. A nervous
woman near confinement might
suffer disaster for life from such a
fright"
Another doctor: at was silly.
Those things will not do in com
munity like this"
Justice Applegate: at was an
inceudiary publication"
Real Estate Dealer Booth: "It
was pretty good advertisement for
the firebugs of Portland and other
places to come and burn the town."
Chas. Calvert: at means a raise
of one per cent. on my insurance,
and is an outrage"
Banker Ladue: even if it does
not raise the rates it will stiffen the
insurance companies. Wholesale
houses will hear of it and think
there is something wrong and push.'
