convicted for stealing six turkeys from

Russian MOBILES sad Fate.

Ewnelus Usmoski, the son of an old
and noble Russian family, is patient
at the city hospital in st. Louis. The
unfortunate young man was taken
there last Saturday with both legs so
badly mangled that it was necessary
TO amputate them.
Usmosli is u years old and came to
America two years ago. His father was
a count and considered one of the
wealthiest men of Warsaw, until
twelve years ago, when he was exiled
to Siberia on account of his alleged
connection with a nihilist scheme TO
blow up the royal palace at st. Peters
burg. AT the time of the fathers ex-
lie the family possessions were confis-
Gated and the family were left almost
penniless. After the fathers death,
which occurred eight years ago, infiu-
entail friends of the family interviewed
and their possessions were restored.
At the age OF Is young Usmoski, who
had Inherited the nihilistic tendencies
of his father, was discovered in some
plot against the government and was
sent to Siberia. After a year friends
secured his pardon and he returned 10
his home in Warsaw. He remained
! there but a short time. when be again
got into trouble, and to avoid second
! trip to Siberia came to this country.
/ Young usmoski made his way 20 Chi
cago and for year worked az fresco
painter. Frcm there he went to Kan
sas City, where he remained until last
week. when he decided to again return
to Chicago. Having no money, he was
making his way on freight trains, and
in attempting to jump off freight car
few miles west of ST. Louis last Sat
urday night he fell under the car. the
wheels passing over his legs at the
knees. The young man has written to
his family and informed them of the
accident. Both legs were amputateo
above the knee. but the physicians
think he will recover, and If the means
come to enable him TO do so he will re
turn to Russia.

A story of Sir John Millais.

The late Sir John Miilais was once
attending a celebrated case at Bow
street and was accommodated with a
seat in the press box. In front of him
sat a youthful new addition to the staff
of a leading London illustrated.
Don't you think that would be an
improycment?' suggested the great
artist mildly pointing out some techni-
cal point in the sketch the youngster
was engaged on. The young fellow
was highly indignant at first, but oven
tually adopted the alteration with such
Improvement that he turned round and
inquired somewhat patronizingly,
"Who may you he, sir. that presume to
correct my work." For answer he re-
ceived a card on which was neatly in
scribed. John Mallais. II. A." accom-
named by the kindly remark. 1--WE are
never too old to learn; perhaps you
NAV be able to give me timely wrin-
kIe one of these fine days" That ar
fist has made considerable Roadway
'since in his profession, but he was par
alvzed at that supreme moment.

Looks Like a Bloody Tragedy.


Great excitement prevails at Deyall's
BUM Ark, over the discovery of what
Is believed to be bloody tragedy.
Bud Chafiin and his five children are
believed to have been murdered. and
suspicion points to Mrs. Chafin and
John King, her paramour, as the muir
derers. Chafiin lived on White river.
between Des Arc and Devalrs Bluff.
John King, hired man, lived with the
family. and is said to have alienated
the Chafiin woman's affections from
Ter husband. Neither King nor any
OF the Chafiins have been seen since
Sept. II. On that date King was seen
driving away in wagon with Mrs.
Chaffin AS they did not return and
nothing was seen of the other members
OF the family, the neighbors began an
investigation. When the house in
which the Chafiins had lived was
opened, blood was found spattered all
over the door. and there were evidences
of terrible butchery having been COM
mitted, but ne bodies were found. The

Too Pretty to 30 Dcported.

"My face is my fortune sang pref
ty Olga Johannsen with telling effect
TO the commissioners OF immigration,
at New York. the other day. 1t was
a song without words, or notes either.
Vocal chords had nothing to do with
it. Liquid blue eyes, cheeks like the
rose, lips redder than the checks, hair
that fell in two long, thick plaits
inches below her waist and clustered
about her brow in a curly bang,
form that made the simple dress she
wore look like Partisan creation
these joined in singing the song that
won over even the stern commission
ers. The beggar maid that captured
King Cophetua wouldn't have been in
IL with Olga for a second. She ar
rived from Sweden on the American
liner st. Louis. When the immigration
officials began to size her up after the
routine methods. they found she lack
ed every requirement of a legal immi-
| grant. She had neither money nor
friends. But she wasn't reported The
commissioners were transported. They
