TRAGEDY IN REAL LIFE.
Sad Mistake of Horsethief Hunters on
the Rio Grande.

Sad Mistake of HorsethIef Hunters on
the Rio Grande.
The most pathetic scene / ever wit
nessed,' says Judge R. L. Cawthorn, OF
Texas, in the st. Louis Globc-Democrat
was third OF a century ago, but it is
as plain to my eyes to-day as it was
then. We had been bothered by horse
thieves down on the frontier. and you
know what that means in wild coun-
try. crowd of US started out after
the scoundrels, and just before we
reached the Rio Grande we saw two
horsemen off to the left who acted sus-
piciously. After them we went, and it
was pretty race for awhile till they
disappeared behind clump of trees
We had shot to stop them, and when
we got in sight Of them again we found
that one horse had been shot and they
had deserted him, while both were rid
ing the other. They were evidently
Mexlcans-a man and a boy-and the
man showed fight, turning and firing
at US, finally hitting our deputy sheriff
We gained on them rapidly, and pres
emily a well-directed fire sent them all
in a heap.
''When we reached them the 'boy'
was kneeling in front of the dying
Mexican, sobbing and moaning as if
her heart would break, while her hair,
which had fallen from her cap, fell be
low her waist. 1t was case of elope-
ment and they had taken US for her IA
theirs servants, while we had been
equally stupid and had taken them for
horsethieves. When he began to gasp
she drew little pearI-handIed revolver
and before anyone could think of stop
ping her placed the muzzle under her
ear and fell into his arms a corpse. No.
we never heard who they were. We
buried them and went after the horse.

GOLDMAN SENTENCED.


NEW NoRE, Oct l1.-JudGe MARITIME, in
the court Of general sessions, sentenced
Emma Goldman, the anarchist, to years
imprisonm. ut in the penitentiary. Ika
courtroom was crowded before the open
ing hour aud there We're number of po-
licemen on hand to prevent any possible
outbreak of Miss Goldman's friends.
When Miss Goldman was called to tho
bar her counsel, Lawyer Hail, arose to
address the bar.
He had come, he said, prepared to make
an argument for a stay of sentence, but,
rs there was n difference of opinion be-
tween himself and'his client, he could not
make such an argument, and would,
therefore, for the time being, withdraw
from the case. Being asked what she had
to say why sentence shonld not be passed
upon her, Emma Goldman began; Your
honor" She was Interrupted by the
court and told that she must keep to the
subject in heF proposed address.
Your honor" she said, knowing that
preparations have been made by the
police to imprison my friends, in case |
make an address, | refrain from saying q
word rs to why sentence should not be
passed upon me"
In rendering sentence, Judge MARITIME
said: You are = woman above the ordi-
nary intelligence, yet you have testified
you have no respect for our laws There
Is no room for you in this community"

MOVED BY SHERMAN'S SPEECH.
Democratic senators Begin to see the
Seed Of United Action.

WASHINGTON, Oct. lI-Senator Shcr
mans speech this afternoon caused some of
the democrats in the Senate to ask whether
it was not time for them TO agree upon
united action. Before the decision had been
reached To take Il recess, Mr.. Vest began
circulating petition addressed to the chair
man Of the caucus asking him to issue call
for the cuacuS.
The call which Mr.. Vest has drawn up
was carefully worded and every man who
signed if thereby pledged himself 10 abide
hv the decision Of the caucus. When this
paper was presented to democratic repealers
they declined. after reading the caption. to
sign the request. 1t is not probable that the
caucus will be held earlier than tomorrow
evening, and possibly not then.

this metal so costly is the difficulty
of separating it from the elements

1t seems odd to know that four of

quickly phosphorus will do that

being thrown into hot water or upon
ice, will burst into a rosy flame.
Potassium acts similarly, but with
greater violence. On touching
water it flames up and at length
explodes, throwing a fountain of
sparks into the air. Magnesium,
