A RICH HAUL.
A Negro Woman Steals $4,000
at Danville.
She fs Located Here and Put Under Ar
rest By Policeman Stone-Part of
the Money Recovered.

Policeman Stone made an arrest
last night that was worth nearly two
hundred dollars to Danville, Tenn,
lady, and which placed feather in
his own cap as an officer who is up
to snuff.
Il. G. Craney arrived in the city
from Danville on the 1926 train and,
as luck would have it, he met Officer
Stone at the depot. He at once
stated his business to the officer, and
told how his mother, about two
weeks ago, had been robbed of about
5000 in cash. He gave the name Of a
negro woman who had been living
with his mother and who left about
the time the robbery was committed.
He further stated that he had evil
dence that the woman had come to
this city and was then living here.
The officer remembered that a
woman answering the description
given by Craney had recently rented
house near the old Bradley
brickyard, and he at once decided
to make a search of the
premises. 1t was decided at
first to get a search warrant and
search the premises according to law,
but Craney told the officer that ne
gro man had followed him from
Danville and that he had reason to
believe that he would put the woman
on her guard if action was not taken
at once. just al this time the negro
was seen making of in the direction
of the house. Stone at once OWNED
his purpose and taking short cut on
him beat him to the house. The
woman was put under arrest just as
the man reached the house. Seeing
that the officer was master of the sit
uation he beat hasty retreat and has
not been heard from since.
When the woman was arrested she
denied everything and said she did
notshave but $500 in the world. 1t
was thought best to make search,
however, as the gentleman from
Danville had identified her as the
suspected party. In going through a
dresser drawer the officer found
$l67.11, the most Of 1t being in gold.
Mr.. Craney was certain that 1t
was his mothers money and imme-
diately laid claim to it. Seeing that
the officer had her dead to rights the
woman confessed and gave iup the
money without .any trouble. The
woman's name is Amanda ThOmp
son and she had been employed by
Mrs. Craney, who runs little gro
Gerry store at .Danville. THE money
wasiin Mrs. Craney'sshouse and the
thief got hold OF it while cleaning up
the rooms. She had come here and
had spent only enough.of the money
to furnish her. a room, which she had
done in pretty good style. Lizzie
Gooseley, another woman, was living
with her. She was arrested also and
the couple left on the 1852 train for
Danville in charge Of Mr.. Craney.
The prompt action of Officer Stone
is worthy of more than passing no
tice. His chief has long since found
that he is a man to depend on in any
emergency and he is fast taking rank
as one of the shrewdest men on the
force.

This repeated until the bird picks up

When it took wing and fu;tered
away to a bookc se In the corner, the

is called, was repeated for t, 20 min

"The policeman j. coming; look ont

the carpet on ca n sIie of the bird with
the palms of his hand, and IN the
twinkliug of an eye the dead had come
to life, and was perched trembling
upon toy tree in the tu ther corner of
the room. Ali of this Was done in less
than five minutes.
Those tricks, as you see, are exceed
ingly SIMPLE. The bird could not b. lp
doing them. The trainer had simply
taken vantage of the peculiar con-
formation of the birds body. Any
bird handled as the finch was handled
could not have helped doing the same
things, although 1t might have taken
longer to have roughe the fear out of
an excessively shy bird.
It il equally easy to train birds to fly
to their trainer and eat hemp seed be-
tween his lips.
There ara many amusing tricks
which require apparatus; such as teach
ing bI d to fire off cannons, pull
wagons, haul down flags. draw wagons,
f,Isi with seed up an inclined plane to
the cage, aud draw water from M MA
ture well in little thimble bucket.
But those shOnld not be attempted
until the simpler tricks are learned and
tie wuFLd-be trainer has thoroughly
acquired the kpack of training a
bird.
The macaw, paroquet, cockatoo--all
vsrieties of the parrot, in fact-are
wild and dangerous birds to handle be-
fore they are trained. The parrot
must be taken from it's cage with n
heavily gloved hand, for its hooked
bill y terribly powerful and it is q
cruel bitter. This is the way it is
tamed: Take it into sma land entirely

stantly ON the wiz. WFen the bird
