BOUGHT A CHEAP COW.
Bold, Bad Thief steals the Bankers Cow
and Sells Her to .Ir. AuIt.

EX-Sherif AUlt bought COW yester-
day. He went up TO the stock yards
and brought her at great bargain.
He is now looking for the man who sold
him the COW. He has even offered to
Sheriff Royse and Charlie Burrows a
reward to assist to find the dealer in
fancy mich cows.
Mr.. Ault bought he COW for s12 and
she was worth s25 Of gold standard of
anybOdy's money.
The cow was even more than recon-
mended but what Disguised the ex-
sheriff was that Banker Tillinghast OF
Clearwater came along in about two
hours after Mr.. Ault had bought the
COW and said: ''She is my meat" He
felt insulted that his favorite cow had
sold for only s12.
The young man who drove her to
the stock yards offered her to Marsh
Paugh for SO and Marsh being onto
his job concluded to take her. He took
a SECOND look at her ard told Mr. Ault
that the cow was entirely too cheap
and the young man must have stolen
her. Marsh concluded not TO make the
trade. IF the young man had asked
SIS Mr.. Paugh would have made the
trade but So was entirely too cheap.
He was not dealing in S12 mich cows.
Ed Realey wanted n fancy mich
COW for his uncle. Tommy Lynch, and
the bankers COW just suited him but
that $l2 made Ed think that the bot
tom had dropped out of the cattle
market for certain and he would just
wait while and see if they didn't get
chea per-
Ault finally concluded that the young
man had a good COW but had never
found it out. Il will just chance So
on that cow" said Mr.. Ault and it was
a trade. He had had experience with
the criminal classes when he was sher-
iff and Mr. Ault more than half be-
lieved that the young man was honest.
The eX-sherif is out his So and he
win spend the price of two or three
cows to catch the man who stole Bank
er TillinghaSt'S COW. He does not care
so much for the price of the cow but
he thinks that kind of speculation in
mich COWS ought to be discouraged.

LYLA kAVENAUGH.
A Young American Singer Who Has Scored
 8 Great Hit In Europe.

A 1OunS Amer1can S1nSer " hO Has scored
 Great Hit In Europe.
 For several years England and France have been deluging this country with ac- tors of more or less ability. Many of these people have been warmly and all have been courtoously received, despite the fact that with perhaps single exception no American player has won emphatic success on the "Other side" for more than two dec- ades. Mary Anderson was the fortunate one. Booth and Jefferson could have done very much better at home, Lawrence Bar rett's London experience almost broke his heart, while Richard Mansfield is still tell ing of how shabbily he was treated over there. Therefore when an American with out reputation at home goes abroad and wins fame it is all the more gratifying. And that is what Lyla Kavenaugh has donc.
 Miss Kavenaugh Is Philadelphia girl of good family who was we'll educated and gently reared She became magnificent performer on the piano and several other instruments before her voice received any particular attention. Then it was discov- cred that she was possessed of q phenom- enal vocal organ, and Miss Kavenaugh went to New York and put herself in charge of the famous instructors, Mime. Roderick and Signor Bellari.
 The young singer found at the end of her period of preparation that her work had ! only just begun. It was next to impossi- ble to get an engagement that she was willing to accept, and Miss Kavenaugh de- cided to go to Europe to look for work. She we:lt to Paris and signed a contract soon after her arrival. Before its expira- tion Vert, the great London impresario, heard her and engaged her for long term | in the British capital, to be followed by a season in Berlin. Miss Kavenaugh's work has evoked genuine enthusiasm, and she is such a strikingly handsome woman that her portrait has been published by nearly every illustrated paper in France and Eng.

CLUBBED TO DEATH.

Maurice MOriRrty Charged With kill-
 ing His MOther-in-Law.
 Unfortunate Maurice Moriarty, whose life for several years has been one round of trouble, Is under arrest charged with killing his mother-in-law, Mrs Ann Don O. van, aged 64, at their home on Dublin stre et The crime was committed Saturday m )rn- ing. The seiectmen were notiied late Saturday afternoon that the woman needed attention. Dr Crane went to the house and found the woman sitting in a chair in Q comatose state.
 The woman had been the victim of a terrible assault. There was fracture of the tibia near the ankle joint. and one of the fibia about opposite. Outside of these injuries a number of bad bruises were found ab ut the body, the worst being on the chin and arms. It was further found that the right side was paralyz ad, caused by a hemorrhage of the brain. The unfortunate woman never rsgained con- sciousness after the arrival of the doctor and died at 1:25 o'clock Sunday morning Moriarty was arrested Saturday evening and denied having committed the crime. He said hIs mother-in-law went to the house drunk Saturday and that was all he knew about it. On the other hand, the woman, when asked by Rev Father Murphy who who assaulted her, pointed to MorIarty. Medical Examiner Axtelle viewed the remains yesterday and telephoned foI Coroner Mix. The latter is in Canada and Deputy Coroner T. F. Callahan was notified. He went to Mantle with the troops this morning, and up to press houl nothing had been heard from either. Maurice Moriarty has had an eventful career.
