Twenty-Three Texans, Five With
Families, Bunkoed by a
Polish Jew.
ANOTHER COLONY IS COMING
Fleeced Victims Left to Ponder Over
Their Folly and the Land
Agent Levants.

SEATTLE. WASH. Nov. 12.-By fraud
ulent land transaction NJ. McCofski. a
Polish Jew. is $3.50 in pocket and twenty
three admit Texans, five with families,
have been transported from their homes
at Bremond. in the southern part of the
Lone Star State. to the strange but hospi-
table shores of Puget Sound. They arrived
at Seattle via the Northern Pacific, paying
in addition to $40 apiece. for which they
were each to be located on homestead
claim of 160 acres of land, $40 head trans
portation.
McCofski, who is as destitute of home
steads as honesty, appears to have worked
his swindling game upon unsuspecting
Texans wholly through the medium of
the mails, claiming to be the head of a
concern styled the Washington Land Com
pany. He represented that he resided at
227 Poplar street, this city, and so he did
until within about four days prior to the
arrival of his victims, when he suddenly
disappeared, leaving for parts unknown.
The authorities are searching for McCof-
ski, who is said to have practiced similar
frauds in the middle Northern States, but
with little prospect of locating him.
Fortunately most of those who came so
many hundred miles on false errands
have money-some enough TO purchase
return tickets, which few will do, while
others will remain and make the best of
the situation. Four or five of the num-
Der found employment to-day. Those
here report that another colony was ex-
pected to leave Bremond for Seattle few
days after their departure, having also
been fieeced in similar manner by Nc

ERIE, Pa, Nov. 12-The body of Will
liam Stenger. who cut his throat and dis
appeared from his room at the Schneider
Hotel at Cory, Pa, yesterday morning at
an early hour, was found this afternoon in
pond near the radiator works of which
the suicide was a proprietor. The young
man had bet heavily upon Bryan and
Sewall, and his frenzy over his loss drove
him to drink.
He carried knife from the supper
table and yesterday morning plunged it
into his throat, inficting horrible cash,
and lay down on his bed TO die. Death
CAME too slowly for him. Putting on his
ulster and turning the collar up to con-
ceal his wound from the people in the
office he passed out and walked ten blocks
to the mill pond. where he finished his
desperate deed by drowning.
Stenger was about 30 years old, single.
and came to Cory from Titusville. A few
years ago while under great mental ex-
citement he wandered away from home
and was gone some time before he was

nue., Treasury Department, is in the hands s

dial. Mr.. Miller has been the companion
of the President and also of Secretary Car
lisle on several hunting and fishing expe-
ditions.

Virginia, from which State he was ap-
pointed to his present position during Mr..

WOMEN IN WAR.
That the Fair Sex Can Fight Is Shown
by Many Experiences. :

That the Fair Sex Can Fight IS Shown
by Many Experiences.
If the "new woman needs any further
announcement as to equality-or is 1t su-
periority ?-of the sex when compared
with men, she can perhaps derive IL from
the knowledge that some OF her sex are
very good fighters. BY this is not meant
the class of women who engage in tene-
ment-house brawis, but bona tide combat
ants, armed and equipped IN all the
panoply of war.
There are feminine soldiery in the Gu
ban army who are doing brave service Tor
the cause OF liberty, and women have
been found of great service In other
conflicts. The French troops found IN
their African campaign that the Dahomey
Amazons were very good fighters, indeed.
The annals of all wars contain records
of women discovered lighting in the ranks
disguised as men. A few famous instances
are recalled by the Horse Guards Gazette
as occurring in the British army, Mrs.
Christian Davies, nlcknamed Mother
Ross" served as dragon in several cam
paigns under the great Duke of Mari
borough, acting as squadron leader OF
the Scots Grays at the battle OF Blenhelfn.
Hannah Smell was another female wor-
thy who, having been deserted by her
husband, adopted male attire and trav-
eled to Coventry in search of the run
away. She there enlisted In Colonel
Guise's regiment of foot and marched
with them to Carlisle at the time OF the
Scotch Rebellion of 1745. She afterward
enlisted in Frazer's Regiment of Marines
and proceeded to Portsmouth, where she
sailed in Admiral Boscawen's squadron
for the East Indies. There she assisted
at the siege of Pondicherry, where she
received twelve wounds. Through all her
adventures, including couple of fog
gings with the terrible army t'cat," she
managed to preserve the secret of her sex.
AT the close OF her military life, however,
she revealed her secret, and was awarded
a pension of 800 per annum.
Mary Anne Talbot served four years as
a soldier and sailor under the name of
John Taylor. and took part in severe fight
ing under Lord Howe in the early years of
the present century. Phoebe Hessel, ac-
cording to her tombstone record in
Brighton churchyard, served for many
years as private foot soldier in different
parts of Europe, and fought at the great
battle of Fontenoy, where she was badly
wounded. KING George " personally
lnterposed to give her pension of half a
guinea week in her old age. She drew
it regularly until Decembe 1921, when
she died in the 10Sth year OF her age.
Mary Dixon served sixteen years in the
British army, fought at Waterloo and was
still living in 1865, when she was described
as "a strong, powerful old woma an"

SEATTLE'S QUEER CASE,
Stephen ]. Overton Is Forced to
Testify Against His Bride
of Three Days.
An Attempt to Cheat Justice Ends in
the Woman'S Conviction of
Robbery.

SEATTLE, WASH, Nov. 12.-Stephen J.
Overton filled probably the most peculiar
role of his life this morning-that of ap.
pearing as witness against his bride OF
three days. The bride, too, filled not an
ordinary role-that of prisoner charged
with robbing the man who three days ago
made her his wife. Essie Winters was
the maiden name of Mrs. Stephen J..
Overton.
THE CALL last Tuesday told the story of
the marriage between Overton and Miss
Essie Winters.
The latter robbed Overton in the south
ern part of the city in September last.
She and r. J. Gould, with whom she was
intimate, were arrested and confessed all.
They were sent to the County Jail. The
Winters woman received repeated calls
from Overton; in short, he was in love
with her and Tuesday afternoon they
We're married.
Under the law of this State husband
cannot testify against a wife. or wife
against husband, except where crime
has been com united by one against the
other. The police say that the marriage
was nothing less than a conspiracy to save
the Winters woman and Gould from the
State Penitentiary.
This morning the case against Overton' s
bride came on for trial in Judge Humes'
court. She and her counsel expected
that the court would not permit Overton
to testify against his bride, but Judge
Humes fooled them.
| That little exception in the State law
which says virtually that the husband can
| testify against the wife where she has
committed crime against him was not in
Essie's favor, and Judge Humes made
Overton testify, much against his will.
| Overton went on the stand and told in
detail how he had been robbed by the
woman who later became his bride He
said that he married his wife because he
loved her.
Then the bride went on the stand and
swore that what her husband said was
untrue. She admitted that she was with
| him on the night of the alleged robbery,
but claimed that she did not take any OF
his money. The other evidence against
the woman was strong, she having con-
| fessed all to the police.
The jury found her guilty. Her counsel
say they will appeal. The case has ex-
cited the widest interest in this city and
during the trial the courtroom was
! crowded

INSURGENT LETTERS.
Methods Used by the Patriots to G
Them by the Spanish.

Methods Used by the Patriots to Get
Them by the Spanish.
The question is often asked, 'How do
the insurgents manage to forward their
letters from the island, the ports of which
are in the hands of the Spanish2" In
very many ways which the ingenuity OF
men and women can always contrive, but
the safest and most expeditions messen-
ger that the Cubans can choose is prom
inent loyalist. This has been repeatedly
tried, and the plan has worked to perfec.
tion-somewhat as follows: A com mittee
OF the insurgents waits upon a wealthy
manufacturer or planter who is identified
with the Spanish Cause. They show him
a sealed package, inform him that it con-
tains letters and request him to take it to
New York and there deliver it to the
Cuban Junta.
He Indignantly refuses. The committee
insists: ''You are well known as loyal
ist; the authorities will never suspect you
you can go and return without being
one of u.s." And then threat is added ::
"If you take the next steamer for New
York, ana if we get cipher dispatch
from the Junta saying that you
have delivered this package TO them with
the seals intact, at the earliest possible
moment, then we shall be much obliged
to you. and your property in Cuba will be
safe. But if you refuse or delay your fac
tory will be destroyed by dynamite. Here,
by the way, is some of the dynamite
and the insurgents show him quantity
of the explosive.
1t is said that several eminent persons
in Havana--even officers OF the volun-
teers-have been thus terrorized, and that
in one case the unwilling messenger, on
his arrival In New York actually made "A

SUPREME JUSTICES BANQUET.
Sacramento Citizens EIaborateiy Enter
tam the Distinguished Justices at
the Suffer Club.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Nov. 12.-Some
sixty prominent citizens of this city gave
banquet tonight at the Suffer Club to
the Justices of the Supreme Court and it
was an elegant affair. Besides the Justices
and Supreme Court Commissioners there
were present as guests Governor Budd and
all the State officers residing in this city.
The souvenir of the occasion consisted
OF a full-sheet lithographic group of the
seven Justices, with the signatures of the
citizens who gave the banquet. 1t was a
beautiful thing and came as surprise to
the gu SITS of honor. Each persoHpresen
received a copy.
The address of welcome was delivered
by Joseph Steffens, president Of the Cham
ber CT Commerce.
Each OF the Justices was the subject OF
sentiment proposed by some citizen, to
which the Justices responded in their turn.
The menu was an elaborate one, and the
halls of the Sutter Club were beautifully
decorated for the occasion with potted
plants, palms. flowers, etc., and an orches-
ira played choic- airs during the banquet.
