GIRL CAPTURES A ROBBER
Feigned Sleep Until He Had Partly
Descended Through a Skylight.
Then She Pointed Revolver at Him
and Smoked Cigarettes Until
Policeman Arrived
lSnecial To The Times

Pittsburg, July 2I-Ben Richards, a
desperate burglar, was held a prisoner
for hours yesterday morning at 100 Second
avenue by Miss Hazel Bowman,
plucky young woman, with revolver
Miss Bowman contemplated going away
on a visit to Atlantic City and had con-
siderable money in her room and a vaIu-
able set of diamonds Richards, who is
a professional thief and has done time
for burglary, learned that she was about
to leave the city, and timed his visit
accordingly.
Miss Bowman was rather late in retir-
ing and on account Of the hea { did not sleep
soundIy About a m she was awakened
by noise on the roof, and after waiting
a few moments in suspense saw the head
of colored man peeping cautiously down
through skyIight over her head
Miss Bowman seemingly took no notice OF
the man, but getting out of bed went
to another room and returned with some
cigarettes, and she also brought a re-
vOlver along, which she slipped below
her pillow Lighting one OF the cigar
cites the young woman puffed away,
apparently unconcerned
After time she took the weed from
her lips and made feiut OF going to sleep
Soon the suspicious of the burglar, if he
had any, We're luled, and after taking n
survey of the room he commenced TO quietly
descend by way of the skylight.
When the body of the man was about half
way through the aperture Miss Bowman
leve!ed her revolver on him and ordered him
to stop. She seemed so determined that
the man saw nothing else to do but TO make
virtue of necessity and obey.
Miss Bowman lit another cigarette and
calmly smoked, whihe she kept the burglar in
this awkward predicament until 8 a. m.
At that hour Officer Dalton came along
and placed the burglar under arrest He
recognized r ichardsias one of the most noted
criminals in the city

came along to the gate of humble cabin
in town in Alabama just as an old negro
handed couple of Jugs TO his son, who was
about ten years of age, and said:
Now julius, yo' gwan down to de groc-
cry an git quart O. 'lasses i'll one OBJ dem
jugs an hurry back"
When the boy had gone I said to the
father
''You didn't tell him to get anything in
the other jug. Is he going to leave it at
the grocery"
No, sah-gwan to bring it right back
home" he said
But why send two jugs to get quart
of molassas?"
It's jAs' dis way, sah If lie only took
one jug he'd be powerful suah TO bump it
or drap ii an lose de lasses. If he taxes
two he's jes' as li'bul TO drap de empty one
as de iasses one, an dat makes de odds in
my favor. Anything else yo'd like to AK
about, white man?''-Detroit Free Press.

New York. July 2O.-The toilets most
interesting just at this moment are yacht
ing and boating costumes. The season
for these sports being now in full swing,
and the dainty rigs themselves more ador-
able than ever. Time was when a pretty
girl thought any old wool gown she was
not afraid Of spelling a proper equipment
for yachting. But in these sporting times
water toilets are as important as any
in the summer wardrobe-second only, iu-
deed. TO wheel clothes-and, along with
materials never seen on the water before,
the great spreading collars and epaulettes
of land gowns may be recognized They
are made OF the brown linens and ecru
batistes that have grown so popular for
this use. And with them the gown texture
will be blue serge or blue mohair, which
stufls stand salt air becomingly.

migrated 20 this country earlier than the
Sayage Indian hordes, which some seek to
Identify with the Tartar OF Asia. One
mound which was opened contained 60 600

that the Mound-Builders were OF Asiatic
origin is that mound in Wisconsin is shaped

THE JURY SECURED
And Bob" FtzsimmOns' Trial Begins-Pfose- cuton Hints at Dirty Work on
 on the Part of Fitz.

Syracuse, N. T., June 2S-The twelfth juror in the Fitzsimmons trial for man slaughter, in the killing of Con RiordaR in a sparring bout, was secured at. 10 o'clock this morning.
 The trial proper opened with motion by Fitzsimmons' attorney to compel the prosecution to elect upon which count of the indictment Fitzsimmons was to be tried. This motion was denied. There are four counts in the indictment.
 In his opening address to the jury, which lasted about an hour, District Att torney Shove said that he would prove the blow given Riordan by Fitzsimmons caused his death. He said that he that Riordan collapsed immediately af- ter the blow on the chin and neck, and that that blow cracked the white matter in Riordan's brain. There would be no contention by the prosecution that Fltz- simmons intended to kill Riordan Ex- pert witnesses from among the best physicians in Syracuse would be called to show that the blow was the direct cause of death.
 The district attorney hinted that there was dirty work on the part of Fitzsim- mons in this case, and he would show it. He said that Fitzsimmons had con demned Riordans drunkenness several times just before the bout The prosecu- ton likened the light tap given Riordan to the kick of a mule, and he told the jurors that when the evidence was in they would see that they would prefer the latter of the two.
 The taking of testimony was then be- gun, and the gloves used by Fitzsmmons were placed in evidence. None of the witnesses did much to help along the con tentions of the prosecuting attorney. From what they saw of the affair Rior- dams death was a complete surprise to them.
 One of the interesting features of the day occurred outside of the court room. After Con Riordans funeral last No- vember his body was placed in a receiY- ing vault and his brothers and family notified. The brother never sent any word as to what was to be done with the body. Today Fitzsimmons purchased a lot in Oakwood cemetery, and gave or ders for the body to be properly cared for and buried at his expense.

GAVE HIMSELF UP
After a Long Absence Henry M. Payne yoIun-
 tarily Surrenders to the Sheriff.

New Orleans, June 2S.-A special to the Daily States, dated Franklin, La. says: Henry M. Payne appeared at the sheriff's office in this town this morning and sur rendered himself for trial on the charge of shooting Lindly Murray Ferris here just six months ago today. MT. Payne's whereabouts were utterly unknown to the authorities of this parish and, in fact, they seemed to have given up hunt ing for him and had all confidence in his complying with the conditions of his bond. The accused was immediately in- careerated in the parish prison and was visited by numerous friends and ac- quaintances.
 He was interviewed by your co re- spondent, but had little to say. He does not deem his surrender of great import ance. He seems, on the contrary. to re- gard it as a matter of course that he would comply with the conditions of his bond. Court convenes here on Monday next, when the first criminal term will be held since the tragedy.
 MT. Payne says he has never felt that he was fugitive from justice. He was admitted to bail and always intended to live up to the terms of his bond. Neither MT. Paynes bondsmen nor the people generally of the community, who knew the circumstances of the affair. had the slightest doubt that MT. Payne would be here in due time for his trial
 MT. Payne arrived on the eastbound train from Galveston. due here at a. m. MT. Foster of the firm of J. '. Payne &, Co. of New Orleans came up from New Orleans last night and accompanied the accused to the SherifiS office.
