OUTWITTED THEM,
How n Detective Failed to Capture
the Man He Was After

What was the case that made the deepest
impression upon me?'' was well-known de-
ton Star reporter. well, if I should tell it
it would ruin my reputation, but l will give it
to you with the understanding that my name
is not to be used.
"A gang of horse thieves we're working
Southern Indiana, and l was employed to fer
rit them out. Taking two assistants
started on the trail, and finally succeeded in
locating them in Brown county, which is, |
believe, the only one in the state without a
railroad.
I'VE knew that the thieves had their head
quarters somewhere between Columbus and
Nashville, the latter being the county seat
of Brown county, and with my men 1 secured
the county without success until nightfall,
when we took refuge in a cabin, the family
being absent, and we expected to explain our
presence when the occupants returned.
In about an hour, four men rode up, evil
IDENTIFY much excited, the leader accosting me
with: We are from Columbus and understand
you are looking for stolen horses. Three were
taken from us last night, and we want to give
you descriptions of them and Join our party >
them no direct reply inquiring instead:
DO you know whose cabin this is?'
oh, yes; it's old man Stewards. They
are in Columbus and will not be home tonight.
but we are friends of his and know any man is
welcome, especially on the mission we are. He
has had four horses stolen
''They entered the cabin, and soon lost all
suspicion Of them, taking descriptions of the
horses they had lost, and agreeing that they
could remain with us the next day.
II awoke early in the morning. having oc-
cupied the lower room with my men, while
the strangers had retired in the loft I went
to the log stable to see after our three horses,
and they were gone. Then I returned to the
house and no trace could be found for some
time Of the strangers. Finally a rudely
written note was found pinned to the door,
saying that we were welcome to remain in
the house until the following day, when a
stage would take us to Columbus that they
had moved and would not use the cabin any
longer. Thas was the last trace I ever got

MARKET GOSSIP.

Gossip by private wire to C. H. F. Smith
& Co., st. Paul, members of New York stock
exchange and Chicago board Of trade:
Chicago: The Liverpool market reminds one
OF the little end of whip-lash, it follows the
rest but when it gets around it cuts, This
was the case today and resulted, of course,
In an early break, on which some holders
Hguidated but local buyers took everything
offered and some more. Liberal flour sales
and inquiry for winter wheat and knowl-
edge also that stocks Of the latter were small
together with speculative shortage in such
markets, also figures on French crop showing
condition Of 81 against SO last year.
which latter crop allowed nothing for ex-
port, turned the market into a strong bull
one and demonstrated to the thoughtful that
after all said, America was to be the dicta-
tor on prices. Locally there was consider
able covering by shorts, but there probably
remains In all markets a fair shortage which
on further advance is likely to stir itself.

Origin of the whistIing Buoy.

Very trifing incidents sometimes lead to
the development of the most important and
valuable inventions. Talking with an old sea
captain the other day, the subject of whist
ling buoys and their advantages over the
ordinary bell buoy were under discussion. He
informed me that the inventor Of
the whistling buoy, that godsend to the sail
orr got his first idea of the device from see
ing small boy pushing an ordinary tin horn
mouth downward into hogshead Of water.
through the small end with a whistling noise;
and that same principle is now embodied In
all the apparatus supplied by the govern
ment, the rising of the tide or action of the
waves driving air into the horn.-Boston
