Z. L. SCHULTZ CAPTURED
FOR participating In q Murder Commit.
ted In Crawford County 21
Years Ago.

Monday afternoon Col J. F. Little delivered to
sheriff Geo. K. Wood, of this county, 4. L.
schuitz, whom he had arrested near Purcell. l.
T., upon the charge ofmurder In the first degree
committed In this county twenty -one years ago
In 1873 Bud Morris, Jack Richmond. Littleobp
"ichmond and this man Schultz, then boy Of
ABOUT 10 years old, passed through the northern
part OF the county following two men who were
driving drove of horses and stopped at various
places and enquired of different persons when
the drovers had passed and what direction they
had taken. claiming that they, the droyers had
stolen the horses. Morris and his gang were
successful In overtaking them in the bottom
below Van Buren and took them on the Lees
Greek road about l6 miles, with their stock
where they foully murdered them. The mur.
dered men were unknown, but sometime after
wards friend in Missouri, identified the stock.
Morris, the Richmonds and Schultz were In.
dicted and Morris was caught and tried, but
while the jury WAS considering their verdict, he
escaped and has never been recaptured The
verdict returned by the jury against him was
verdict Of guilty of murder IN the first degree.
Schultz has never been heard of until arrested
by the officer above named, who was paid the
reward offered by the State. Schultz admits his
identity and claims that while he was with the
men he had nothing to do with the murder, as
he had been sent on with part of the horses Just
before the killing occurred. Morris. 1t will be
remembered. after his escape went back to Ten
nessee where he was captured but afterwards
escaped and mu rdered his uncle, who he claimed
had given him away and cause his arrest. The
Richmond's and Morris have never been heard
of since. Whether the evidence is sufficient to
convict Schultz is doubtful.

Robert H. Crocketps Lecture.

Blackburn's Free South speaking of
Col. Crocketts Lecture at Little Rock,
says:
There are lectures, and lectures. Some are
bright, interesting. and instructive. Others are
classic but stupid; others again are like some
bOoks-it were better had they never been
written. To the Aforementioned class belongs
that of Col. Robt. H. Crockett, delivered by him
in Little Rock on Friday night the ID inst, at
the Main Street N Z. church. to a goodly sized
and most appreciative audience. No man in
the State is better known and more deeply
beloved than Col. Crockett His genial person
ality is irresistible. his manliness no less mag
netic, and his talents as public speaker place
him in the front rank of those who grace the
rostrum. The name he bears is sacred wherever
the word liberty" is spoken; and when he
comes before the public with well-considered
production on the life aud services of one whose
deeds in war and peace constitute the most
charae teristic and of tho bri ghtest pages In
American history, it is meet that the public
should give him special recognition of its ap-
preciation- His lecture was on "Davy Crockett
and the Fall of the Alamo" and although the
immortal theme has been touched by the genius
Of thousands, both in prose aud verse, 1t is safe
to say that more faithful and intensely absorb
ing exposition of never fell from the lips of
any man. 1t tells the story of the great pioneers
life and grand death in language more forcible
and lastingly impressive than could tome Of
books. 1t is patriotic address, too. and shows
the author no less than his subject in luminos-
ity whose pure and steady glow attracts and
elevates the soul 1t were not necessary to give
an epitome of Col Crocketts lecture. We have
all read the story; let all who would feel better.
all who would think more hopefully and loving
ly of their country, her people and her institu-
tions, aud who would strive for higher ideal
in public life, catch the inspiration anew from

GOOD FOR THE CAT.

Custom House Broker Jones tells a
good cat and rat story, and he
vOuches for the truth of it, says the
San Francisco Post. The fact is, he
has told it so often that he really be-
lieves it himself if no one else will.
Mr. Jones formerly had charge of
a grain warehouse that was infested
with rats-great big gray fellows,
with bobbed tails and ears fringed
with fighting.
Il had to get rid of them in some
way" says Mr.. Jones "for it cost too
much to feed them and repair damage
they did Why, one of those fellows
would gnaw the side of a burglar
proof safe out in a night. 1 tried
traps, but | think one rat would
hold open the trap while another
stole the cheese. Then they would
spring it. Finally l left the traps
open, and occasionally would find
one set and bated with an old chew
OF tobacco or a cigar stub. | think
those rats had some idea of trapping
me.
| was telling a friend about my
troubles one day, and he volunteered
to lend me his maltese mOuser, a
great big nervous fellow, with plen-
ty of cunning. l was afraid the
rats would be too cunning for him,
but his owner assured me that he
would clean them out in a hurry.
The first morning l put him in the
warehouse l heard some racing and
running, and on peeking in 1 saw
the cat playing with a great big rat
They were rolling over and over each
other, and enjoying the fun hugely.
That made me hot, but left them
to their fun. The next morning
there was more noise than before,
and l saw 20 or 80 rats chasing
around having fun with that cat.
On the third morning there must
have been a couple hundred Of them,
and every one was having a barrel
OF fun with that cat, pulling his
ears. his whiskers aud his tail.
The next morning there was no
noise, but there were 372 victims of
misplaced confidence lying on the
warehouse floor, dead. The cat was
cutter than the rats. He waited till
ne got all of them out playing and
killed every rat in the place"

PATTI AS A HOSTESS.

Life at Craig-y-Nos a Mixture of Stateli-
ness and NJ eanness.
Sensitive persons who happen to be
invited to spend week with Patti in
her castle in Wales may do well to think
twice before accepting The divine
Adelina is the reverse Of all ideal host
ess, and Nicolini is no more pleasing
as host.
Those who have tried it say that life
at Craig-y-Nos is a mixture of stateli-
ness, show, cheeseparing and d1scom-
fort. Lights are out at 1920 in the cas-
tie In the billiard room, about which SO
much has been written, guests are not
permitted to play on either madame's
or monsieur's own particular table, but
must use another, provided solely for
them. Both Nicolini and his little
spouse are billiard fends and wouldn't
have their precious tables touched by
profane players
At. the sumptuous dinner table the
same royal monopoly exists in respects
to wines, the Nicolinis having their own
choice and expensive brands and an in
ferior quality being served to their
friends. This is all done with absolute
frankness on the part Of the hosts, and
should an unwary visitor help himself
from the Nicolini bottle he is brought
up with a round turn and told he must
not, for that wine is only given to the
petted head of the house !-London Cor

REAL ART IN BEGGING.
The Beggar's First Step Is to Get the At
tention of His Intended Victim.


The professional beggar in New York
uses various devices to st hearing
for if he can once gain the attention of
his intended victim he has taken the
first step toward success
"Can you direct me to Ninetieth
street and Seventh avenue?" asked
poorly dressed woman whom I met in
Fourteenth street.
''You had best take the elevated road
at the corner and get off at Ninety third
street, =" l answered.
''How far is it?''
"About four miles,, I said.
''That's long walk, and haven't
cent. Could you give me nickel to
pay my fare:'
Within three days again met the
woman at the same place with the same
story.
do you speak German?" asked a
young man with Teutonic countenance
in good English.
81 do not. D."

me cents to pay my ferriage, as
haven't cent? 1 will pay it to some
one who is as hard up as l am.
started the same conversation with me,
but he gets no further than the first
question.
A woman was standing at the corner
of Twelfth street and Sixth avenue gaz-
ing intently at the jefferson market
tower.
my poor old eyes are not much
good,' she said in soliloquy and then
turning to me asked, Can you see
what time it is by that olook?''
''Half past 9. .
$50 late? Mister, could you give a
poor woman few cents?"
At 10 O'Clock she was still at her
post.
BE careful if you go in there, - said
genteel appearing man as l approach
ed the entrance to a place of amuse-
ment.
''Why?' l asked.
81 have just come out and find 1 have
had my pocket picked, and have to go
to Yonkers to get home Could you lend
me half a dollar? l will return it. -
I watched the man until he had col
lected two half dollars.
did you drop these sir?" asked a
boy as he ran up behind me with pair
of cheap eyeglasses in his hand.
"No. They are not mine. -
81 am sorry, boss, for I thought you
might give me a few cents, as have
had nothing to eat today"
Two other men were approached in
the same manner before l had walked a
block
One evening as 1 turned from Grand
street into the Bowery a man who was
approaching dropped coin at my feet,
and had to stop to prevent collision
with him as he stopped to pick it up.
NEARLY lost my nickel, he said,
land I am trying to get another to pay
for nights lodging. Could you help a
poor fellow Out?''
Very likely he got his lodging
