poets and He Is Taking No
Chances.

Sheriff Whelan's corps Of deputies con-
tinued their search all day yesterday for
the elusive Kasson who unkindly ad-
journed his session at the County Jail
sine die, but the willy journalists ways
lay not in the paths of the pursuers and
the walls of the county keep knew him
not.
Kasson is no novice at the art of evasion
and the expensive lessons of the past have
taught him tricks which the Sheriff.
officers will have to trump before they can
do all the desperate things which they
have decided upon as Kasson's lot when
he is captured. One OF these tricks was to
get rid of an inconvenient physical defect
which once caused the capture of this
man, who aspires 10 eat bread and an oc-
casionai cut of pie in the sweat OF other
peoples brows. The wisdom of that move
will appear.
Kasson, chic and debonair after the
manner Of his kind, appeared in San Jose
during the campaign of '92 with an in
definite amount of capital and perfectly
apparent equipment of gall and an
nounced his intention of starting q morn
ing newspaper. The political situation of
the city at that time resem bled crazy
patchwork, and the smooth man from the
East had no difficulty in finding faction
which needed an organ. The paper,
known as the Argus, was duly launched
with 3 long-felt want salutatory and
other essential adjuncts. Other journals
in the already overworked field took not
kindly to the interloper, and one of them,
in a facetious local. referred to the man
who had come to town with SIN mall-sized
sack, silk hat and a choice assortment
of variegated eyelashes.
1t was the reference TO the eyelashes 10
which Kasson took exception, for in the
generally black fringe of one optic was
tuft OF snow-white hair, which gave him
an uncanny appearance and made him
strikingly noticeable.
Kasson's prolonged Indignation at the
reference to his freak blinkers struck his
employees As peculiar, but they had not
long to wait tor an explanation. On the
eighth day of the Argus advent into San
Jose's journalistic fields the local police
received a message from Idaho officials to
arrest w. f. Kasson for forgery. When,
the Idaho officers arrived few days later
they explained that they had seen the &C.
count o the San Jose editor with the
white eyelashes and it was by that mark
they recognized their man.
During the whilom journalists incar-
ceration at the County Jail the attend
ants noticed that his eyelashes were strik-
ingly sparse The lids of one eye were
slightly intiamed about the edges. But
there were no telltale white hairs. Kas-
son may make some bad break that will
oetray his whereab bouts to his pursuers,
but it is not likely he will again miss lib
ertv by an eyelash.

Marriage with many is no longer
a sacred covenant, but temporary rela-
