SHE STOLE CONTRIBUTIONS.

Scheme for Securing Money.

A Kansas City Young Lady's Clever
Scheme for Securing Money.
KANSAS CITY, Kan, Nov. 26.-For
weeks past the deacons of the Washing
ton Avenue Methodist church have been
mystitied by the discrepancies between
their mental count in the contributions
each Sunday and the amounts which
were found in the boxes when the cash
was counted after the services. Sunday
night the deacons saw pretty young
girl brush up against the plates on the
pulpit rostrum and lift an envelope
They stopped her, and before she knew
it she was closeted with the deacons
adjoining the vestry room ad-
jacent to the auditorium. The
girl broke down, sobbed, confessed.
and pleaded for forgiveness. but the en-
act details of her peculations. name and
address are carefully withheld from the
public. 1t seems that each time con-
tribution was taken up i'll the church it
was allowed to remain on the pulpit
rostrun until the meeting closed The
girl occupied front seat, and when the
audience arose she would do likewise,
turn her back to the pulpit and step
back from the surging crowd. Then
she would reach back and strai ighten
the folds of her cloak, and there is
where she got in her work OH the collec-
ton.

A California Engineer Too Sharp for a
Gang of Desperadoes.
San FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-Particulars
of an attempt at train robbery have just
come to light. Last Saturday, little
after Sp. M, the Los Angeles express
stopped at Pixley, CAL, on it's way south.
When about to start again the trainmen
were warned that three men, masked
and armed, were waiting in the shadow
Of the tank house, just beyond the
depot. They had been lettering about
there during the afternoon and were
seen at the last minute by some Chinese,
who gave the alarm. The train was
backed some distance and then ran by
the ambush at a very high rate of speed.
No clue to the robbers has been found
as yet. It is a favorite plan of the rob,
bers to board trains just as they are
pulling out of station.
