Speed and Escaped.
Mrs. T. L. Philo, handsome blonde. twenty
eight years old. was arrested IN Chicago on
Thursday on a warrant sworn out BY Deputy
Sheriff Reno Of Denver. She was turned over
to the Denver officer, who placed her in charge
OF the detective department at the Central sta
ton until o'clock that evening. when he
started with her for Denver. When the train
was near Ashton, q station about ninety miles
west of Chicago. the woman made her escape
and was not recaptured. The train was run
ming at full speed at the time and Reno vas

prisoner would attempt to escape.
He was aroused by a stir in the seat beside
him and awoke Just in time 10 see q lot Of flmy
skirts and pair of dainty little boots disap-
Fearing through the open window. The officer
quickly grabbed the bell rope and brought
the train to q standstill. Together with the
trainmen he hastened back along the track,
expecting TO find the bleeding form Of his
charge at the roadside. However, no trace Of
the woman could be found.
Considerable time was spent In searching
through the tall grass along the track, but the
search was fruitless, and with a heavy heart the
little deputy from Denver climbed aboard the
train and rode on to Ashton. There he hunted
up the city marshal and explained HE predica-

All night the party secured the prairie and
the little groves in the vicinity Of the place
where the woman made her jump, but no trace
OF her could be found. Reno has again tele-
graphed the detective department in Chicago
TO look out for her.
Mrs Philo was arrested in Denver for for

bail was furnished she disappeared. IL was
learned that she had gone to Chicago, and Dep
uty Sheriff Reno followed. He brought with
him requisition papers from the governor Of
colorado and upon his arrival placed the case
before Sheriff Gilbert. who sent one of his men

About noon Thursday the two men saw her at
State and Madison streets and promptly ar

gang that has committed many forgeries and
engaged in other swindling schemes by which
residents OF Denver have been fleeced out Of
many thousands of dollars. She had promised
the Denver authorities to turn states evidence.

The Solemn Ceremonial which Marks the

the great day for cutting comes there il Q
grand ceremony and much feasting.
One who was present at a royal hair cutting
tells us that the darling Of the harem was robed
in long flowing garments of silk and lace, con-
fined at the waist by golden girdle. Her long
hair, cooled for the last time, was fastened with
diamond pins, which cleaned and glittered
among fresh white flowers and green leaves
like pearly drops Of morning dew. There. in
the presence of the ladies, her father and an
officiating priest, surrounded by her maidens,
some 200 in number. she knelt under q canopy
of flowers and leaves while prayers were
chanted.
Then the beautiful tresaes being unbound

water and drawing them carelessly over her
head, clipped of about an eighth Of an inch Of
hair and threw it into golden basin, deposit

gold. The priest cut the next piece, her
mother the next and so on. each guest serving

a Bride of Thirty Wants Damages for the
Abduction of Her Boy Husband.


Abduction of Her Boy Husband.
Mrs Minnie Parker nee Birch Of Baltimore
wants $4,000 damages each from Mrs L. L.
Parker, Frank Ehler and Benjamin r. New
conner for alternating her husbands affections
and abducting him.
Minnie is about thirty years Of age and her
husband not yet nineteen. They met some
three months ago, when Malcolm Parker be-
came smitten with Minnie and proposed mar
riage. They came to Washington, where the
nuptial knot was tied. When they returned
Malcolm's mother refused to recognize his
wife, nor would she contribute anything to
their support. So the pair went to Philadel-
phia. where the bride secured employment at
Strawbridge Clothier's, and the money she
earned kept the wolf from the door.
About a week ago the boy husband proposed
that he go to Baltimore and demand q 900 Of
the $1,000 that coming to him when he
attained his majority. His wife consented and
even drew enough from her salary to pay his
fare. When she returned to the house she
found that two men had been there in her
absence and abducted her husband. From .
Ehlen, the boys uncle and q wealthy coal
operator. and d. F. Newcomer. his guardian,
who has big china house in Baltimore. Minnie
is quite attractive and does not look older than
twenty-five.
Mr.. Ehlen denies having had anything to do
with the boys disappearance. He says the
missing spouse left OF his own accord. Mr..
Ehlen claims that Malcolm il not responsible
for his actions, his mind being impaired by
constant cigarette smoking and the use Of
liquor. The woman, he charges, was aware Of
his prosperity and inveigled him into marriage;
that she paid ali expenses and that when Nal
| colin wanted to leave her immediately after
the marriage she persuaded him to remain a
week or two by saying that she would bs
ruined if he left at once. He also says Malcolm
openly told the Birch woman, in his Office, that
he wanted nothing more to do with her.
As all the defendants are well connected, the
case is attracting considerable attention.
Young Parker is not in town.

There's pleasant and a sure way
OF doing IL. It's with DIR. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They're the best
LAYER Pill ever made, and a prompt
and effective remedy for Sick
Headache, Bilious Headache, Con-

cleanse and renovate the system,
quietly but thoroughly. They reg

These are purely vegetable and per-

They're the cheapest pill You can
