l.. {. Meachamp, who lives al Homer,
La. is a great hunter, and has fine
deer hound Dan, OF which he is Justly
proud. A few months ago Mr.. Mea-
champ was going squirrel hunting, and
in order to keep Dan at home he was
compelled to tie him up The hound
whined and begged. but finding his mas
ter was obdurate he at last lay quite
peacably before his kennel all day. At
five o'clock in the afternoon, however.
when Mrs. Meachamp was beginning
to look for her husbands return, Dan
became so unusually restless that she
went out to see what was the matter.
In spite of her repeated efforts she
could do nothing to pacify him. and at
last, to her utter establishment, he broke
the rope and bounded away over the
fence and into the woods. He was gone
probably half an hour, when he came
running back, painting and almost
hreathless, with his masters hat in his
mouth. Mrs. Meachamp became at
once alarmed, and calling her son they
set opt TO find Mr.. Meachamp. the dog
a. the ne bounding along in front and
.eading the way. At last they came
upon Mr.. Meachamp lying helpless in
the woods. where at precisely five
o'clock he had fallen in a little ditch
and broken a small bone in his leg. The
dogs knowledge of the accident at the
very moment Of its occurrence seems
almost incredible, but the truth of this
is beyond dispute.-N. Y. Alliance.

THE BOOSTER.
One Product of the Glorious Climate
of California

In exery California town there are
numberless little poker rooms where
open games run day and night. There
are a few handsome places where It
costs five dollars to SIS to sit in game.
but most of the places are plain little
rooms where player may buy a stack
of 20 white chips for so cents and take
his chance. Chips at 2b cents each
may seem very small. but as the game is
played Invariably for table stakes. the
player soon either loses his modest
stack in the game or is forced to put in
more money. The players are nearly all
poor men. but as the losers leave their
money and the winners usually stay,
500 worth of chips is not an unusual
sight on the table.
The law forbids the use Of a slot in the
table or any kind of kitty" so the
proprietor makes his money by charg-
ing each player one white check every
half hour for new cards. The income
OF such place foots up to exactly five
cents an hour to each player, hardly
enough to satisfy the ambitions Of the
sportsman who runs the place; hence
the booster"
The booster is really a poker agent
on a 80 per cent. commission. He comes
into the game with a stack or two Of
the proprietor's chips and plays 10 win,
with the understanding that he will
quit whenever asked TO make way for
moneyed player He must thus return
the original capital and one-half of his
winnings. His principal usefulness is
in starting new games and filling vacant
chairs in those lacking players. lie
comes around early when the poker
place opens. and hangs about with 9th
ers OF his kind until two or three indie
pendent players turn up. Then he be
gins to play. and makes what he can
until a nudge in the back warns him
that his chair is wanted.
TO the booster with his small stack
the game is a serious thing. il means
food, lodging and tobacco for the next
"a hours. lie must always look neat
and prosperous, as If he had money in
rolls, although he often sits down with
stomach left empty merely that his
linen may be stainless and his shoes
may shine. OF course. such a man is
not above running up 4 set of threes"
or dealing off the bottom if he gets a
chance, and his spare hours at home are
often passed in front of the looking
glass trying new tricks.
Though he is about the best short
card man in the world, the booster rare
~ makes more than enough for days
living. The stake in the game is so
small at first that he does not get much
OF chance; and later. when the game
grows strong, he has to make way for
others. Besides this. the other players
are pretty well seasoned and keep a
sharp eye on the dealer. This, with the
thought that a loss means a hungry day
IN the street, takes away all desire to
plunge.-N. y. Sun.

BURGLAR IN THE HOUSE
But Mrs. Frank J. Thomas Screams
Make Him Beat a Retreat.

A burglar early this morning entered
the residence of Captain r. NJ. Spivey
at HOO Topeka avenue and caused great
CONSERVATION.
About 8 o'clock this morning the Spi-
vey household was in sound slum-
Der. AS had been usual the kitchen
door was left unlocked, but by accident
the door leading to the rear stairway
was also unlocked.
Quietly the night prowler entered the
kitchen and assembled the stairs At
the first door on the second floor to
which he came he tried the knob only
to find that the lock was sprung. This
was the room occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
G. S. Downing, but neither one was
aroused by the noise of unlatching and
prying on the door. The marks OF
the attempt were visible. The next
move made was the trying of the knob
on the next door, which happened 20
be the Ledchamber of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank J. Thomas. Mr.. Thomas, who
is manager of the Southwestern Fuel
company, is out of the city, and Mrs.
Thomas, who is daughter of Cap
tain J. B. Johnson, was alone in the
room AS the burglar opened the door
the hinges creaked and the door swung
standing near it. The screen was
Knocked over, which made startling
noise. Mrs. Thomas was rudely awak-
ened and she bounded out of bed and
stood face to face with the burglar.
Mrs. Thomas screamed, and contin-
ued to scream, which apparently great
ly frightened the burglar He turned
and made a rapid escape down the rear
stairs and into the back yard. By this
time the household was up. Mrs. Spi-
vey and her daughter, Mr.. and Mrs
c. S. Downing and Miss Nellie Clough
all ran into the upper hall from their
bedchambers to earn the cause of the
screams.
When the circumstances of the affair
had been told and the doors of the
house securely locked and bolted the
household again became quiet and the
burglar went his way unmolested.
Nothing was taken from the house.
Mrs. Thomas could not describe the
burglar, except that he was large. 1t
was very dark and all Mrs. Thomas
could see was a form in the doorway
The others did not get a glimpse of
him.

SAUSAGE MAKER MURDER.
New York Has Inform alton That
May Clear Chicagoan Luetgert.

New York, July 20.-The World says:
For more than two months the police
of this city have been in possession of
information which, if true, and the cir
cumstanceS indicate that it is, will save
the life of Adolph Leutgert, now in Jail
in Chicago, charged with the murder of
his wife. 1t is this: That Mrs. Luet-
CERT was in this city on May 18th and
this is apparently conclusive evidence.
A W. G. Grotty, formerly lived in Chi
cago. He was we'll acquainted with
Mrs Luetgert. In fact he had known
her as Louise Bicknes long before she
become the wife of Luetgert. On May
z, Mrs. Grotty, accompanied by Rich
ard L. Schulhof and Rudolph Shintzky
went to Cooks ticket agency on Broad
way. 1t was between 10 and IL o'clock
in the forenoon. AS Mr.. Grotty rejoin-
ed his companions on the sidewalk two
women approached, one of whom he
recognized as Mrs. Luetgert. He asked
her when she came to the city and she
replied that she had just arrived. Mr..
Grotty then introduced her to Mr..
Schulhof and Mr.. Shintzky. Mr.. Grot-
ty, who was then a guest at the Broad
way Central hotel, invited Mrs. Luet-
arert TO dine with him. She declined on
Inc ground that she was about to leave
New York. He noticed she appeared
somewhat excited, but paid no great
attention to it, He told her that since
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1897-07-20

he had last seen her in Chicago he had
married and expected his wife here
soon, when he would be very glad to
have Mrs. Luetgert CALL
They parted and Mr.. Grotty thought
no more of the matter until a day or
two later when he was aStounded to
read the shocking details of the sup
posed murder of Mrs. Luetgert in Chi
cago.
Mr.. Schulhof said yesterday he re-
called the meeting on Broadway and in
that respect could confirm all Mr.. Grot-
ty had said. Nevertheless he did not
want to get mixed up in the matter.
AT the Occidental hotel, on
Broome street and the Bowery, the reg
lister fails to show that anybody by the
name of Luetgert from Chicago stopped
there during the first ten days of May.
Still it is quite possible that the woman
would give a false name and address.
At Falk & Cos agency on the Bowery
the books show that on May z, tickets
to Hamburg on the Palatia were sold
to Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Bruckner,
