Howard Two Hours Ahead of Durant
at Last Accounts.
Atlanta, Ga, April 26-Interest in the
bicycle race between Durant and How
ard is at fever heat. Since the two
started yesterday every source of infor-
nation has been besieged with anxious
inquiries as to theirrelative positions in the
contest. Durant laid over at Austell last
night, while Howard put up at a farm
house ten miles this side of Dallas, Ga,
only eight miles ahead of Durant.
The latest news this afternoon says that
Durant passed through Stilesboro two
hours behind Howard. Plenty of money
is changing hands on the result, with
Durant as the favorite.
ALI Prater, a famous Georgia pedestrian,
wants to make bet of $3.50 that he can
start tomorrow morning and walk the
distance in less time than the bicyclists
can make it,
This afternoon Durant arrived at Rome
at 6:35 O'Clock, Overtaking Howard and
Foote. To the former Durant returned
couple of handkerchiefs in Rome which
he picked up. Durant rested while How
ard went on with his pacemaker, Foote
But, without doubt, Durant will overtake
Howard tomorrow if their roads don't
diVerge.

SHE HELD UP" HER MAN.
Another Portion of Mans Domain In
vaded by a Kansas Woman.

Topeka, April 23-The advocates of
equal rights have cause to congratulate
their sex upon another avenue recently
opened to women, though there have been
no bulletins sent out. A woman Of Kan
sas City named Maria Pendrv, which is
probably one of her many aliases, took
to the road as a highwayman, or high
way woman Her first venture was
financial success, but unfortunately for
her enterprise she was captured, and will
now serve a two years term in the peni-
tentiary.
This woman held up" her man in the
regular way, presenting q revolver to his
face and demanding Hands up as he
came around corner. He obeyed, for
there was very evidently shoot in her
ewes. and he stood still while she ri1ed
his pockets. Resenting this invasion of
mans domain as well as the loss of his
money and watch, ne FASTENED to the po-
lice station as soon as he was released,
and a policeman found her.
A woman in this city, a bright little
leader of the equal rights movement, said:
Why mott dor not say, of course, that the
calling she adopted was a righteous one,
but why was she any moreFo blame than
a man under the same circumstances
