A RASH YOUNG MAN.

It was written OF Cesar, to illustrate
the boundless reach of the Roman
power in his day, that the fugitive
from his wrath could find no refuge
beyond his grasp. The frozen steppes
OF Scythia. the gloomy morasses OF the
German forests, the burning deserts
OF Lydia, afforded no security, for
sooner or later the fleeing wretch must
succumb to the all.encompassing
system Of Roman arms aud Roman
spies.
Frank Cousins, ayoung Tennesseeen,
has found that there is modern
Cesar as relentless as the master OF
imperial Rome, from whom it is as vain
TO seek to escape. He had wooed
widow, but, growing tired OF her,
sought TO put her of. Hence his
grief.
The young man took to the woods
but the ayenging Nemesis pursued
with a shotgun. She also carried her
thirteen-year-old daughter with her as
an auxiliary, II assistance should be
needed. BY mishap the shotgun was
discharged and the young girls arm
was shot off. Then by a bold vancouver
turning misfortune to her service, the
insatiate widow caused the arrest Of
Young Cousins, she and the girl
swearing that he shot her arm off with
q Winchester rife. Upon the case
coming to trial, however, he was able
to prove the truth of what is here
related, and he was released. But the
widow is still camping on his trail,
and for him there is nothing but death
or submission.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT

their quarters opposite the palace Of Grand

sallow complexion and of Southern type
was among those admitted by tickets. He
took place five PAGES distant from where
the car was to stand. As the
man continued to wear his overcoat

off, but declined on the ground
that he was afraid of draughts. His re-

Chicago oRces Evenly Divided.

CHICAGO, Ill, April To-day in the
most exciting election scramble ever wit
messed in Chicago the Republican leader,
Hampstead Washburn, came out on top of
the heap, the first Republican, save one,
elected mayor of Chicago in fifteen years.
This, at least, was the apparent result as
shown at 1:l0 p. m, when 433 precincts
out of 5l3 had been heard from giving him
q lead up TO that hour of 1862 over the
Democratic candidate Dewitt c. Cregier,
present mayor OF the city. The
Democrats had a formidable split in
their ranks to contend with in
an independent candidacy OF ex-Mayor
Carter H. Harrison, but the Republicans
were little, If any, better off in that respect
owing to the citizens movement headed
by Elmer Washburn, ex-chief OF the United
States secret service. Both Carter
H. Harrison and Elmer Wash
burn, particularly the former, polled
vote that was amazing to the
straight party politician. Harrison is said
10 have had the secret support of large
number of the wealthy men of the city
who are backing the Worlds fair.
His old time strength with the foreign
speaking population, especially the Germans
and BohemlanS, returned heavily to him
also.
Elmer Washburn's vote, while surprise
TO the machine politicians, was something
OF disappointment 10 MS friends, beng
confined more closely than was expected TO
the membership Of the American societies.
The indications at II 80 were that aside
from Hampstead Washburn, the other sue
ceSsful candidates We're about evenly di-
Yided between the Democrats and Repub-
icanS.
Socialist Morgans vote was unexpectedly
Insignificant, about one-eighth OF the num-
Der of socialists popularity supposed to be
in the city.
The exact figures for the mayoralty can
didate with 433 precincts heard from were
as follows: Hampstead Washburn, 40,
Cregier, 81 ,040; Carter H. Harrison, BASIS;
Elmer Washburn, 10, 79l; Morgan, 1926.

Dallas, Tex, is now in the dumps"
When jay Gould visited that city and re-
manned eight days, he was Rined and
dined and given all he wanted Now Jay
did not want all OF Dallas. and the Trinity
river mud thrown in: neither did he want
to shoulder that magnificent city debt-that
is being piled up against the queen city OF
the prairie, but he did want the right of
way for his Texas and Pacific road down one
Of the streets of Dallas, and in wanting it
he had no bones in telling them So Now
Dallas wanted $4,000 brick depot-one
something like the one Gould built for
TeXarkana-and in wanting this depot,
they made no WY faces in asking Jay to
build it for them. They hob nobbed over the
matter and drank wine and smoked cigars
at the Dallas merchants expense, until
jay Gould agreed that if the city would let
him run his track down this street, he
would give them such depot that all of Fort
Worth would turn green with envy. The
merchants smiled, the newspapers of Dial
las fsttered Jay, and while all this was 60
ing on and the irons were hot, Gould was
having one OF the best streets in Dallas
threaded with iron, and the track is nos
used 10 store empty cattle cars on Now
the Dallas people have began to open their
eyes. The depot is not built, and instead of
Dallas making Fort Worth epvious, the

superintendent of the Texas penitentiary al

from the penal institution at Rusk. He
was confined there upon a conviction of
horse stealing, but on June 30 he managed
TO escape. He went under the name of

Mr.. Harris went to Guthrie this after
noon 10 procure requisition papers and it is
said that the charges here against him will
be tabled for q time in order to allow the

demonstrates that Capt. Scott of Shawne.s
town was right in all that ne said or did in

and it has cost him considerable time and
money to run the criminals who assailed

THE purchase, by agents of Chicago
packers, OF $4,000 head OF Texas cattle
for $1,000, 900. as related in dispatches
to THE GAzTTE, is one Of the largest
purchases of cattle since the great
boom days of 1882 and 1888 If the
figures reported are correct, the cattle
must have averaged SO head. That
is big price for Texas cattle on the
ranch, or delivered at the nearest ship
ping point, and means about So head
in Chicago. Picked steers are worth all
of that price, but in as large purchase
rs $4,000 cattle there would likely be q
great many heifers and young stock,
which could not reasonably be worth
more than $40. and the best of the lot
must have gone up to $40 or more, to
make an average Of s25 for the entire
lot.
And still the tide is rising.
