A PAIR AT THESSV
A Good Example.

Mrs. Dauber was lady who kept
lodging horse in one of our cities. A
man came and engaged room in her
house. She had suspicious Of him and
watched him. At length she found him
sneaking through the other rooms with
his shoes off. She snatched up pistol
and confronted him, covering him with
the little gun and holding him with
it and with her eye. Meantime she
screamed for help. 1t came, and then
the sneak was given over to a police
man. who landed him in the station
house. There he proved to be a well
known thief. Finally it came out that
the pistol was not loaded at all, but was
utterly harmless. 1t had, however, en-
abled Mrs Dauber to capture her thief
all the same.
It is a period of dreadful attacks and
murderous assaults on women, for some
reason inexplicable There have not been
so many women murdered and attacked
ever before in the history Of our country
as in the past two years. and the out
RACES continue. Under the circumstances
women should be taught to defend them
selves, with pistol or otherwise. A good
strong infusion Of pluck and fearlessness
will go as far as pistol in confronting
a murderous miscreant sometimes. But
women should be taught to use the pis-
tol, too, and have it handy. 1t cannot be
expected that girls and women must re-
main shut up indoors all the time Men
could not stay at home to protect them
if they did. They must learn to protect
themselves, at least till the murderous
mania is over among masculine crea-
lures. Cold lead or a good steel blade or
club is far more effective with the
wretches who attack women than plead
ing. AS to running away, that is the
worst thing woman can do. The man
who pursues her can always run faster.

some woman, passed three $50 bills, raised
from 50 bills, upon young men clerks in
dry goods stores. The pair got out of town
without detection and went o Chicago
where in the crush at the Worlds fair
grounds they put out raised bills estimated
by the authorities at $4,000 within two
weeks. They were finally captured by the
secret service officers and upon trial were
convicted and sentenced to five years each
in the Joliet penitentiary.
Seven months later Mrs. Freeland gave
birth to q son, and, through the influence
of her West Virginia relatives, the presi
dent pardoned her. She returned to Terra
Alta and was supposed to be resting quietly
till few weeks ago, when bogus $50 bills
turned up at Grafton Kingwood, Fair
mount and Warrington, route over
which Mrs. Freeland had travelled few
days before.
She was arrested, and considerable Of
the bad money was found in her house.
The work on the raised bills is decidedly
interesting. 1t is all done by means of
split paper, pasted over scraped spots on
the bills. The ciphers used to make $50"

ink and in others with revenue stamps,
colored to suit. The work is artistic and
proves the dizziness of the hands that

With Her Able Pen Mrs. Freeland Makes
Twenty Dollar Bills Out of Twos.


Mrs. Belle Freeland of Terra Alta, ".
Va, seems to have a mania for counter
feiting, and she has become so expert at
raising SO bills to $50 and 81 to $40 that
her work passes easily among ordinary
shopkeepers, and on at least two occasions
bills raised by her have passed muster at
banks. Her husband, John w. Freeland,
and herself come of fine Preston county
families Of wealth and position, and their
near relatives are among the most promi-
nent people of West Virginia. They were
married about ten years ago, and each is
about 30 years old. After the wedding they
began travelling and kept up expensive liv-
ing till all their money was gone. In 1892
they settled down at Terra Alta, near their
old homes.
A few months later several country mer-
chants were victimized with raised bills,
Mrs. Freeland conducting the transact

went to Wheeling en- route for Chicago.
