A DESPERADO's SHOW OF NERVE.
Ko Collects $4,000 Reward While
$1,000 Is Offered for Hi,,, self,


The remarkable career Of old Tom
Starr. the notorious Cherokee desperate,
which has lately appeared in print, re-
calls M incident in his life the plainest
statement of which sounds like a roman &C,
says the Giobc- DsmOcrut.
Bill West was old Toms bro.her-in- law
and the most powerful man of his day in
the Cherokee nation. A blow from his
fist was rs deadly as Winchester bullet.
WITH this formidable weapon he killed
several men, and II law was passed dec lar.
ing Bills fist u deadly weapon.
Old Tom and Bill had been close COM
panionS. but one day they quarrelled over
the division of the spoils OF plundering
expedition. Vest struck at Starr. but
the willy savage lodged the blow and at
the same time deftly placed long, keen
knife blade between the formers ribs.
This was the tragic end of Bill West.
AT this time there was a reward of
$4,000 offered for Vests head and 50. 600
for that of Starr.
Old Tom was in need of ready cash and
determined to run the risk of losing his
own head by trying to secure the reward
on that of his brother-ln-law.
So. after killing West, he cut off his
head, put it in guuny- bag and pro-
ceedeu 10 Iahlequah, the capital, where
he presented his CORY charge to the chief
with tho proof that it was the right head
and demanded the reward.
Tho chief and treasurer are both old
men and they knew old Toms reputa-
tion. They also knew that the reward on
Vests head was only 5000. while that
for old Toms was %. 900. But Starr was
there himself and meant business.
At the muAzle of six-shouter the
treasurer forked over the 81. 900 and old
Tom departed with the money, to the de-
light and astonishment of the people of
Iahlequah without killing a single person.

FACT AGAINST FICTION.
Tho Misleading Character of Cir.
cumstaatial Evidence.

Tho Misle ding Character OF Cir
cumstantial Evidence.
There is no fgment of the imagination
if it is oil within the limit of possibli-
tles-more curious or strange than some
things that actually happen. The fol-
lowing is an instance in proof of this:
A few years ago Frank Millet. the we'll
known artist, war correspondent and story
writer. published short story in lead
ing magazine, which had as its principal
feature the mysterious killing of q Paris
ian arts; III his own studio, says the De-
troit rifc PccS.
A web of crcumstantial evidence led to
the arrest of . model who had been in the
habit of posing for him. But through
some cham of circumstances which the
writer of this has nov forgotten, the mur-
der. if murder it can be called. WAS found
to have been caused by the discharge of a
tirearm through the force of capillary
attraction.
The tirearm was used by the artist as
studio accessory and was hung in such a
manner that he was directly in line with
II Its discharge occurred when he was
alone in his studio.
The story was vivid and ingenious
flight of the Imagination. Now for its
DuTdlltl ldCt.
A recent number of the Albany Lar
Journal tells OF the arres; of q man upon
the charge of killing his cousin.
The dead man was found lying upon o
lounge about o'clock in the afternoon,
with a 32. .calibre ball III his brain. The
cousin, who had interest of Sl00, 200 III
his death. was alone with him in the
house at the time.
The discovery of the real cause of death
was due to the lawyer of the accused who
took the rifle from which the ball had
been fred, loaded and hung it upon the
wall, and then marked the form of man
upon white sheet and placed It upon the
lounge whore the man had been found.
Then heavy cut glass pitcher of water
was placed upon II shelf above. The
temperature was 20 degrees iii the shade.
The pitcher of water acted as II sun glass,
and the hot rays of the sun shining
through the water were rcfracted directly
upon the cartridge chamber of the rifle.
Eight witnesses were in the room, and
a few minutes after 3 o'clock there was q
puff and report. and the ball struck the
outlined form back of the ear. and the
theory of circumstantial evidence was
exploded.
This is interesting, not only because the
real occurrence is quite rs strange hs the
imagined one. but because 'be fact came
after the fiction and pnralleled it so
closely.
