There Isn't n camp In tho Rangelys
where she isn't Welcomed, and when
she gets tired of one she picks up her
tackle or rifle and trnmps off alone
through the woods to the next one. OF
course, she hunts when she feels like
it, but it's the coquettish trout and good
game fish that fascinate her. The best
catch she has made is "ffty-two fish in
forty-four minutes, taken on the fly,
landed and cooked"
And this is what she wears: mo
boomers nor knickerbockers. Black
tights, a short underskirt and a plain
outside skirt, with very heavy boots.

Miss Fly Rod says that is about the
most convenient dress for women ang-
glers.
If one was not told hat Mrs. Walli-
han was n mighty daughter OF Nimrod
and could do all sorts of daring things
it would be natural to desribe her as
"a dear white-haired old lady" In view
of those thirty-two deer she has killed
that description has TO be modified.
She has white hair, hanging in natural
curls on her neck. And she is past
middle-age. But to call her old isn't
correct, for she is too active to warrant
tho adjective.

When the Wallihans moved to Wyo-
ming and later to Colorado her husband
and brother didn't like leaving her
alone in their cabin home for DAYS una
BILE, TO protect herself. So she learned
to uso n gun. Sometimes she has stood
in the door Of her own cabin and shot
wolves.
Mrs, Wallihan says she doesn't do
deer stalking alone, and most of the
thirtv-two deer have not been hilled
unless the family needed meat. Since
she has learned to shoot she has usual

by His Creamery Burning.

WICHITA, May 18-Mattie Smith and
Bessie Hutchinson were sentenced to the
penitentiary yesterday by Judge Reed
for term of one year.
The facts about this case are peculiar
and the real mystery surrounding the
crime for which they are to receive pun
ishmenr remains hidden. At least such
is the conjecture of the officers who
have made an investigation of the mat
ter
One night in January last the Graves
grocery store, on South Emporia avenue,
was burglarized. During the night a
light snow had fallen and the officers
readily tracked the burglary to the home
of Pearly Robinson, where a portion of
the goods were found. Grant Robinson
was arrested for the crime, and the Off
GERS believed they had a strong case
against him.
To the surprise of Sutton and Woods
they received a visit from the two girls
sentenced to the penitentiary yesterday,
who confessed to them that they had
committed the crime themselves, and
that young Robinson was innocent
The officers would not believe the
story told by the girls, as tracks leading
from the store, were of a peculiar shape
and made by shoe which the young
man wore. This fact was stated to the
girls, but they claimed they were the
guilty parties. They were locked up in
jail, the officers fully believing that they
would soon tire of the confinement, and
acknowledge that Robinson and not they
had committed the crime. But in this
conjecture they were wrong. The two
girls made their confession yesterday
before Judge Reed and were given the
lowest sentence possible.
It is said to be the first case on record
in Sedgwick county where prisoners
were given penitentiary sentence upon
their own confession only. The circum-
stances tended to show the innocence of
the girls, and such was the belief of the
county attorney.
The theory is now advanced that the
mother of the young man accused of the
burglary held some powerful influence
over the two girls, and they entered the
plea of guilty to save her son rather than
run the risk of her revenge. 1t is thought
by some that a more serious crime had
been committed, and Che facts were
known to the mother of the boy. Be
this as it may, the young man was given
his liberty and the two girls took his
place as the officers claim, and thus
thwarted them in a sure case.

Silas Herring was sandbagged and
robbed of $40 in money Mr.. Herring
was at his home on West Lincoln ave-

had just gone to the barn, only a very
short distance from the residence. and
while in the barn some one struck him
over the head with sandbag, knocking
him senseless upon tho barn floor.
When the members of his family went
to look for Mr.. Herring they found him
unconscious. Mr.. Herring had Just re :
ceived his pension money and was carry
ing it on his person. Hence it seems
that the robbery was committed by some
one who was acquainted with the cir
cumstances.
