MRS. AMEs, DEPUTY SHERIFF,
With Revolver and Handouts She
Bore Off Her Prisoner in Triumph.

Bore Off Her Prisoner in Triumph.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel
The novel spectacle Of a prisoner being
AIKEN from the Central police station in the
custody of female officer was seen this
morning, when Benjamin Hit Of GAINESVILLE
started for Belvidere. Ill. in charge Of Mrs.
A. T. Ames, under sheriff of Boone county.
Hit was arrested at boarding house on
the west side Saturday night by Detectives
McManus and Schmidt upon a charge OF
stealing several hundred dollars worth Of
jewelry from Mrs. Ames, the woman who
took him to Belvidere to-day. telegram
was sent to Sheriff Ames notifying him.
and he answered that an officer would be
sent for the prisoner.
Yesterday afternoon the officer arri we'd,
1t was q woman IS or 40 years Of age, tall,
and OF slender build. A pair Of piercing
black eyes looked out from under dark eye
brows, and the firm, reliant step showed she
was a woman Of determination. She wore
a small black bonnet, plush cloak, and a
black and gray travelling dress. In her
right hand she carried arusset-colored grip.
she went to the Central police station and
to Inspector Riemer's office. He recognized
her at once, for she had visited the city
twice in search of her man.
Hit was brought to the inspectors room,
and his face colored and he hung his head
when he saw the woman he is said to have
robbed standing before him. Mrs. Ames's
eyes frightened when she saw the prisoner.
for whom she had been searching for almost
two months.
"Well, well, Ben, I've caught you at
last, she said. you ought to be ashamed
of yourself for robbing.the woman who be-
friended you. But III make a man Of you
when get you back to Belvidere."
Hit learned that Mrs. Ames had no re-
QUESTION papers. but agreed to go without.
He was then led back to his call.
Then Mrs. Ames surprised Inspector RE
mer and the detectives who were in the
office by opening her grip and taking out a
heavy pair of shackles and pair of hand
cuffs. You see, l am prepared for the re-
turn trip" she said with a smile, as she
handed the irons to the inspector, and re-
marked thai she would like to leave them
there until morning.
1t was the first case on record in the his
tory of the Milwaukee police department
where female officer had called to claim q
prisoner, and it naturally surprised the
officers. especially when Mrs. Ames an
nounced that she. single-handed and alone :,
would take the prisoner back to Be!Yidere,

Finding the Equal of This One.
From Fire and Water.
In Central Dakota, on the Missouri bot
toms, there exists one of natures strangest
freaks. The settlers term it the pump
snake" How it came there and where it
came from is yet unknown. 1t first made
its appearance in Emmons county in the
springtime of 1856. A full grown pump
snake measures about 16 feet in length and
about 3 inches in diameter. They are of
gregarious habits, roaming the prairies in
large herds, as many as 800 having been
counted in a single flock. In dIssecting one
of these reptiles there is found tube, which
extends from the root Of the jaw to the ex-
tremlty Of the tail, and terminating In an
opening. This tube is about two inches in
diameter and lined with a tough yielding
substance similar to rubber. The pump
snake is easily trained to answer the call Of
man. The inhabitants of this section trap
them in large numbers
A farmer on Cat Tail creek has a q ok Of
twenty pump snakes trained to a remarka-
BILE degree Of proficiency. At the blast Of
a whistle the snakes assemble on the banks
OF the creek. The leader there is ALWAYS a
leader to herd OF these snakes, who is elect
ed by two-thirds majority dashes into
the water of the creek. leaving only the ex-
tremity of its tail on the bank. Another
snake Immediately grasps the end of the
leaders tail in his jaws, third snake takes
a hold OF the second snakes tail in a SINH
lar manner, and 80 on, extending
to the water troughs in the cattle yards,
300 feet away. The leading snake begins
to swallow or pump the water Of the creek,
which passes through the long line of snakes
as it would through hose, aud falls in
heavy stream into the trough.
The agriculturist told of an extraordinary
circumstance which occurred a short time
ago. While working in the field near his
home he observed flames issuing from the
roof of his BARN. Wild with excitement, he
hurried to the burning building, only to
see that IL was a hopeless task for himself
alone to attempt to extinguish the flames
In despair he gazed on the destruction;
suddenly be heard a loud rustlng in the
tall grass, whence issued his herd Of pump
snakes ON the run. The leader hurled him
self into the creek, the rest instantly ad-
justing themselves heads and tails from
the creek to the burning building.
The last snake, standing on its
head, waved its long and fiexi-
BILE body, from the tail of which issued
stream Of water that was thrown with ter
rife force on the burning building. Back
and forth dashed the tail end of the living
hose. squirting the water where it would do
the most good, while the loud pumping Of
the leader could be heard above the roar of
the conflagration. Within fifteen minutes
the last spark was out. Then. and not until
then, did the pump snakes quit work. They
were completely exhausted, the leader hav-
ing tainted dead away. The main part Of
the building and its contents were saved,
thanks to the presence Of mind Of these
wonderful snakes.

Matter.
WASHINGTON, April 26.-There was to-
day posted in the press gallery of the House
OF representatives a request to the stand
ing committee Of the press correspondents,
asking them to inquire into the circum-
stances and causes for the dismissal of
James K. Young, late chief executive clerk
OF the Senate. The reasons assigned for bis
dismissal appearing to be disoreditabls TO
MN, and the standing committee allowing
ms name to be retained among
nose of the correspondents enti-
1led to the privileges Of the gall
ler!es, the request is made in
oFoer that just conclusion may be reached
IN the matter. The rules of the gallery re.
qulre that an applicant shall be "a man of
reputable standing" The object Of the in
curry will be to ascertain whether Mr..
Young has or has not been guilty of any Of
tense which takes him out of the list of

distance of over one hundred miles, and
by a route that necessitated two changes of
cars.
little before train time she arrived at
the Chicago and Northwestern depot with
Hit. He is large man with a meek, un-
intelligent face, and he is evidently very
much afraid of the fair officer of the law.
AT the depot Mrs. Ames marched her pris-
oner up to the cigar stand, where she pur.
chased a half dozen fine Havanas for him.
Hit was not shackled, as he had given his
word Of honor that he would not try TO as
cape, and Mrs. Ames said that she believed
him. She took him into the smoking car
and occupied seat beside him there. She
took the precaution to have him take his
place near the window, while she sat 10 the
aisle seat The passengers all stared as the
strange couple entered the car but this did
not appear n embarrass Mrs. Ames in the
least and she walked past tho groups of
smiling men with nonchalance which was
either natural or admirably assumed. Nor
did the clouds of smoke which Hit sent
whirling through the car affect her. She
believed that II was her business 10 be there
and she evidently intended to stay.
A city detective and reporter accom-.
panied Mrs. Ames the first few miles Of her
journey. During this time the prison er
never made a move. He was completely
cowed and he evidently believed that the
under sheriff might make his position an
uncomfortable one If he offered any resist
ance. That dress pocket which is generally
used by ladies for the accommodation of a
pocket handkerchief and of spools of thread
on this occasion contained a revolver-not
one of those little Derringers, but massive
Colt-ready for instant service should Hits
action make such a move necessary. Just
before the reporter left the train be asked
If she expected to reach her destination
with the prisoner in her custody. She an
swered in the affirmative and in a manner
that left no doubt she meant what she said.

why Men walk in a Circle.

The fact that people lost in desert or
in forest invariably walk in circle is
due to slight inequalities in the length
of the legs. Careful measurements of a
series of skeletons have shown that only
10 per cent. had the lower limbs equal
in length, 35 per cent. had the right
limb longer than the left, while in So
per cent. the left leg was the longer.
The result of one limb being longer than
the other will naturally be that person
will unconsciously take longer step
with the longer limb, and consequently
will tread to the right or to the left, ac-
cording as the left or right leg is the
longer, unless the tendency to deviate is
corrected by the eye.
The left leg being more frequently the
longer, as evidenced by measurement of
the skeleton, the inclination should take
place more frequently to the right than
to the left, and this conclusion is quite
borne out by observations made on a
number of persons when walking blind
folded. Further, on measurement Of
the arms, il is found that to 70 per cent.
the right arm is longer than the left,
while in "a per cent. the left arm is the
longer, showing that considerable ma
jority of persons are right handed and
left legged. The inequality in the length
of the limbs is not confined to any par
ticular sex or race, but seems to be uni
versal in all respects. Parsons Weekly.

AN INDIAN DELEGATE.
White Turkey, Chief of the Absentee
Shawnees, and a G. A. r. Man.

A man who attracted good deal at at
tention at the Republican national con-
vention is member of the Oklahoma
delegations man to fame and politics
heretofore unknown. When the Okla
homa Republicans met in territorial con-
vention they departed widely from all
precedent, and fifty choose frll-blooded
American Indian as one of their repre-
sentatives at the national convention.
He was White Turkey, chief of the alb
sentee Shawnees. He is full blooded
Indian, and direct descendant of the
great Tecumseh. His father was for
many years the leader of the tribe, and
under his guidance, in 1880, they left
their early homes in Missouri and went
to the Sabine country, where they had
been promised a large grant of land by
the Mexican government. At the break
ing out of the Mexican war the tribe
migrated to the Indian Territory, and it
was while on this pilgrimage that White
Turkey was born and received his name
from fowl Of that description soon af-
ter brought in by a hunter. At the
breaking out of the Civil War the Shaw
| nees sided with the North, and were so
prosecuted by their Southern neighbors
| that the entire tribe emigrated to Kansas
and remained until the war was over
| There White Turkey and eighty other
| members of the tribe enlisted in the
Fourteenth Kansas cavalry. He served
| two years faithfully and was several
| times wounded. At the close of the war
| he was mustered out and returning to
his tribe in the territory, married a
| Shawnee girl. In 1885 he succeeded his
| father as chief and has since been inf1en-
tial in inducing his subjects to adopt the
ways of civilization and become citizens
| of the United States.
| Although he never received any edu-
cation he is intelligent and progressive,
| and accepts the changed condition of his
people with good grace. He. is still
| supreme in authority in the tribe; though
by common consent they now take their
| most important disputes into the white
mans courts.
For several years White Turkey has
been an active member of the G. A. R.,
and since the organization of Oklahoma
he has taken deep interest in politics,
having been an uncompromising Repub-
lican from the first. Most of his tribe
are of the same political creed, while
their neighbors, the Pottawatomies, are
mostly Democrats.
The entrance of the full-blooded In
dian into national politics marks new
| epoch in American history, and the out
| come will be watched with interest.
