JORDAN MAY lT3q GET GET HERE HERE.
Discharged il Denver by Governor
Waite's Order
His Arrest Caused Quite Stir in the
Gambling Fraternity in San
Francisco.

The press dispatch received from Den
yer on Tuesday night, stating that Gov
ernor Waite of Colorado had signed the
requisition issued by Governor Mark
ham for the eXtradition of James Jordan.
the diamond robber, and that l. j. SIM
mons was about to start that night with
the prisoner for Sacramento, appears to
have been little premature.
1t seems, according TO later dispatches,
that the Attorney-General refused to in
dorse The papers on the ground that Sim
mons was private detective. Simmons
appealed to Governor Waite, and repre-
sented that he was the ext Chef of Police
of sacramento, and State agent, but
Governor Waite also refused, and Jordan
was set at liberty by habeas corpus.
Yesterday telegram was received
by District Attorney Ryan and Sheriff
O'Neil from Simmons to the same effect,
adding that an additional reason given
by Governor Waite for his action was
that the charge against Jordan was based
or statements made by Edwards, who is
a convict.
District Attorney Ryan at once called
at Governor Markham's office and laid
the matter before Private Secretary Eby,
the Governor bel lg absent MIR. Eby
promptly telegraphed Il request to Gov
ernOr Waite To honor Governor Mark
han's requistion, Jordan being under
indictment bv the Grand Jury OF this
county. He also informed the cranky
Colorado Governor that 1t was not alone
on Edwards confession that Jordan was
indicted, corroborative evidence being
given by Ned Foster Of San Francisco, to
whom some OF the stolen Wachhorst dia-
monds were sold.
Referring To this case the San Francisco
CHrOHictc says:
"Jordan's arrest caused a sensation in
the San Francisco sporting fraternity, as
1t was taken as Il declaration OF war be-
tween the two factions OF gamblers,
headed on one side by Edward Chase and
''Soapy" Smith and on the other by Lew
Bionger and Jordan. Chase IS a million
aire policy king, and his presence in San
Francisco at this time has, IL is thought,
great deal to do with Jordans troubles
1T is believed here that Chase trumped
up the charges TO get him out of Denver,
as he has become quite formidable fig
ure in sporting circles. Chase induced
Ned Foster OF San Francisco to charge
Jordan with the diamond robbery in or
der 10 get revenge. The last time Jordan
was in California he and Foster put up a
job to win a big pile OF money on foot
race. At the last moment Jordan went
back or young Foster. bought up the
runners and thereby won the money.
This is believed to be the true reason
that Foster is mixed up III the case, and
the whole scheme was arranged TO get
Jordan out OF the way.
''Jordan is well known on the Pacific
Coast. In San Francisco he used to run
variety theater. in Tacoma he ran a
big gambling-house and bunco dive un-
til he was driven out of town by the DO
lice. He, with Smith and Chase, COM
menced years ago in Chicago. when the
trio was mixed up in Washington Park
bunco game. Jordan got the money,
over $1,000, and refused TO divide up To
suit his companions"

Sensitive Hnrses

Harsh treatment, though it stop short
of inaicting physical pain, keeps nerv-
GUS horse in a state of misery. On the
other hand, it is perfectly true, as be-
sotted but intelligent stable keeper on 70
observed to me, "a kind word for a boss
is as good sometimes as feed of oats"
A single blow may be enough to spoil
racer. Daniel Lambert, founder of
the Lambert branch of the Morgan fam
lily, was thought as a 3-year-old to be
the fastest trotting stallion of his day.
He was very handsome, stylish, intel
ligent horse, and also extremely sensi-
tive.
His driver, Dan Mace, though one of
the best reinsmen in America, once made
the mistake, through i'll temper or bad
judgment, of giving Daniel Lambert a
severe cut with the whip, and that sin
gle blow put an end to his usefulness as a
trotter. He became wild and ungovern-
able in harness and remained SO for the
rest of his life.
In dealing with horse more than with
most animals one ought to exercise pa
tience. care and above all the power of
sympathy, so as to know if possible the
real motive of his doing or refusing to
do this or that. To acquire such knowl-
edge and to act upon it when required
is large part of the ethics of horse
keeping Companion.

One of the great advantages of glycer-

THE BALLOON IN BATTLE.
How 1t Is Managed and information Trans
mitted and Received


How 1t Is Managed and InformatianT Trans
mitted and Received.
Balloon and wago@ have formed a juno
ton and are ready to start with the
troops. Away goes the wagon, with the
balloon hanging on to its tail, while the
attendant sappers on each side keep it
steady. The train moves along at good
round pace, easily keeping up with or
even passing the infantry, and makes for
the particular spot at which it has been
determined to commence balloon opera
tions, which is usually ON the top of a
good high hill.
An ascent is an easy enough matter
and is soon accomplished. sTho balloon
is securely fixed to the end of the wire
rope. and the two men who are to ascend
take their places. At the word of COM
mand the men who have been holding
down the car let go, and up shoots the
balloon, unwinding the rope as it rises
and allowed sometimes to ascend to a
height of 1000 feet. And suppose the
officer receives instructions to move the
position of the balloon, is it necessary to
haul it down? Not bit Of it. A man
is placed at the end of ths syagon who
carefully guides the connecting rope so
that it cannot get entangied OF run risk
of being cut, and away scer tie wagon,
sometimes at trot across fields and up
and down hill, until the balloon itself is
long distance away from its original
station. Next, suppose that it is neces-
sary to lower the balloon. Is it needful
to wind in all the wire rope that has been
paid out from the reels? No such thing.
The balloon is brought to earth in a
much more expeditions manner.
A long, stout pole, in the middle of
which is pulley wheel, is laid across
the rope. Half dozen men seize the
pole and run it along the rope, and their
weight soon brings the balloon down to
the ground. Passengers can then be ex-
changed, or any other operation can be
carried on, and then the men run the
pole back, and up shoots the balloon
again many hundreds of feet into the
air, without having been away from its
exalted position more than few minutes.
But it is not necessary to lower the bal
loon in this or any other way whenever
it is required that messages should be
exchanged between those below and those
above. There are various contrivances
for doing this. Sometimes, for instance,
wire is attached, through which mes
sages can be sent to a telephone. Another
plan is to send messages down the wire
cable. A little wire hook is fastened
around the cable, and the letter or pa
per, weighted with small sandbag, is
sent fluttering down. The human voice,
it may also be added, can be heard both
from considerable height and depth, SC

How He Saved Himself From Capture
When Inside the Federal Lines.
Bishop Polk of Louisiana, who served
SO zealoEsly in the Confederate army,
had one adventure at tho battle of Per-
lyyille which is best told in his own
words. He says:
About dark, shortly after the arrival
Of Liddell's brigade, l observed a body
of men whom believed to be Confed-
crates standing at an angle to this bri-
gade and firing obliquely at the newly
arrived troops.
Dear me-, said |, "this is very sad
1t must be stopped. So turned round,
but could find none of my young men,
who were about on various messages. l
determined to ride up myself and settle
the matter. l cantered up to the colonel
of the regiment, asked him i'll angry
tones what he meant by shooting at his
friends and desired him to cease doing
SO at once.
81 don't think there can DO any mis-
take about it, !" he sid, with some sur
prise. II am sure they are the enemy. "

brazening it out, my dark blouse and the
increasing obscurity befriending me, SO
approached quite close to him, shook
my fist in his face and said:
"I'll soon show you who am. Cease
firing at once!''
then turned my horse and cantered
slowly down the line, shouting in an
authoritative manner to the Foderals to
cease firing.

back and calculating how many bullets

PARTING wolves to Death by rortnre.


One use of the whalebone to which
the Eskimos put it, and one case Of
which came under my personal observa-
tion, must not allow to pass unnoticed.
Whenever wolves have been unusually
predatory, have DESTROYED favorite dog
or SO, or dug up cache of reindeer
meat just when twas needed, or in any
way have aroused the ire of the Innuit
hunter. he takes strip of whalebone
about the size of those used in corsets.
wraps it up into compact helical mass
like a watch spring, having previously
sharpened both ends, then ties it to-
gether with reindeer sinew and plasters
it with compound of blood and grease,
which is allowed to freeze and forms
binding cement sufficiently strong to
hold the sinew string at every second or
third turn. This, with lot of similar
looking bats of meat and blubber, is
scattered over the snow or ground. and
the hungry wolf deyours it along with
the others, and when it is thawed out
by the warmth of his stomach it elon-
gates and has the well known effect Of
whalebone on the system, but having
the military advantage of interior lines
its effects are more rapid, killing the
poor wolf, with the most horrible
agonies, in couple of days. From an
