TOUGH YOUNGSTERS
SMALL BOYS WHO REvEL IN
BURGLARY
Detective Benedict Discovers a Gang
of Boys Who Are Past Masters
in the Thieving Line

Detective Frank Benedict has discov-
cred a small but we'll developed hotbed
of crime in the western part of the city,
For the past few months the residents
Of Star street have been annoyed by a
tough crowd of boys, little fellows about
Is and 10 years old. Petty burglaries
and small thefts have made life bur-
den to the neighbors, and more than
once the boys have been arrested at the
instance of some irate sufferer from their
pilfering. In each case, however the
boys have held together so ceverly and
lied so thoroughly that it was impossi-
Bile to secure the necessary evidence.
Last Wednesday Mrs. Lynch, who lives
at 1854 Star street, wentinto town, leav-
ing the house empty When she returned
she found that some one had entered the
house in her absence and had broken
open a small toy safe, taking therefrom
about So in change. For some reason
suspicion fell on a boy named Frank
Schmidier aged about 10 years, and he
was arrested by Benedict and closely
questioned. Under the rigorous exam
ination the boy broke down and con-
fessed to the theft, duplicating another
small boy named Arthur Conanet. Ar
thur was also imprisoned and closely
questioned.
However, he was made of different
stuff. With a monumental effrontery
he brazened the game out, lying artis-
tically and logically as the case proceed
| ed. He denounced the SCHNEIDER boy as
| conspirator who was fabricating false
hoods about him. SCHNEIDER confessed
| that he and Arthur had taken the money
and had entered a certain pawnbroker's
place, buying a revolver with part of the
money. The pawnbroker was visited
but at first denied having sold the boys
any weapons at all. Then the youthful
but brazen Arthur gave up the fight and
confessed to having taken the money
and said that he could find the revolver
for the detective. He went under his
fathers house and emerged with TIL;
weapon. No sooner did he put in an
appearance carrying the pistol, than his
mother swooped down upon him and
did grievously beat him where it wouli
do the most good. Such a complete and
thoroughly artistic spanking has sell
dom been seen. Having thus carried oui
he rmaternal duties in Spartan manner
Mrs. Conanet again became woman
and promptly tainted.
| Restitution of the 81 being made to Mrs
Lynch, the boys were permitted to go
with the promise of being semitic Whit

AN AWFUL MISTAKE
MRS. BRIDGES DEATH YESTER-

The Unfortunate Lady Mistakes Laud-

With Fatal Results

A shocking accident happened at Cole
grove yesterday morning. Mrs. Eleanor
Lowe Bridges, an elderly lady, lost her
life by mistaking a bottle of laudanum
for one of medicine
Mrs. Bridges, who is an Englishwoman
by BIRTH was making preparations to
drive to Los Angeles, her husband being
in the bath. For some time past Mrs.
Bridges has been ailing and has been
taking medicine. Not feeling we'll yes
terday morning, Mrs. Bridges went to
the cupboard, where two bottles of SINH
lar size and shape stood upon the shelf.
By mistake she took down a bottle of
laudanum and took teaspoonful. The
poison at once acted, and she fell into
stupor from which she was never
aroused.
Her husband, on finding out the truth,
at once summoned medical assistance,
and every effort was made to save the
unfortunate woman's life. But the at
tempt was of no avail, and she died with
out recovering consciousness. KregelC
& Bresee prepared the body for the in
quest, which will be held this morning
at Colegrove.

A MURDERoUs MOTHER
Story of Chinese Woman Who Asked
for Police Protection

Officer Edwards presented touching
sight yesterday as he paraded First
street bearing many bundles of strange
garments In his hands and accompanied
by a Chinese woman of uncertain age
and doubtful beauty, WHO clung closely
to him, gazing up admiringly with her
almond Oriental eyes on the big blue
coated officer. The woman had applied
to the police for protection from her
husband, whom she averred was a
gambler, and had threatened to kill her
and sell her 7-year-old child. She was
given in charge of Mrs. Gray, the
matron, and Edwards was sent out with
her yesterday morning to secure clothes.
Hence his festal appearance on the
streets.
The woman, according to the state
ments of H. c. Austin, is drunkard, and
has wronged respectable Chinaman by
her lies. When under the influence of
liquor the woman tries to kill her child
and the husband was forced to separate
them, sending the child to a family in
the southwestern part Of the city.

CURIOUS LANDS IN FLORIDA
A Subterranean Passage Which Is
Enveloped in Mystery

Payne's Prairie, three miles south of
this city, covers an area of $4,000 acres.
A large proportion of the prairie is now

of estimating the number of cattle, but

QUICK ACTION
Strangers at Morn Start on Their
Honeymoon at Night

Yesterday morning at s o'clock Albert
Kenchen was bachelor citizen of
Woodward, Okla, and a stranger to
Lizzie Chilles of Wichita. Last night a
8 o'clock they were husband and wife
by authority Of the probate judge and
promise of Rev. G. G. Press, pastor of
the Evangelical Protestant Friends
church.
Albert used to live at Goddard, some
five or six years ago but when the strip
opened he went down where the salt plain
casts its white mirage against the dry
blue arch of the east and took up claim.
He is German and a slayer. He stayed
with his claim against the bluff of soon
ers, the tenacity of the scrubby black
jack and the dry whistle of the wind
through the parched buffalo sedge.
Month in and month out, year after year,
he cleared brush, broke the patches of
prairie, fried bacon and "fritters'' nixeS
with water, boiled potatoes with the
Jackets" on, tended the truck" patch,
gathered the sod corn and finally got
tired of living aloue. He looked around
all over Woodward and counties K and
G, and all the rest of the alphabet that
he could get to. He frequently came to
back home single, lonesome and alone.
Tuesday he came up for a short visit
and stopped with Fritz Arnholz.
Lizzie Chilles is one of Fritz's family
and has been for year, coming here
from Little Rock, Ark. She and Albert
had never met, but when he went to say
goodbye to the Arnholz folks yesterday
morning he turned to Lizzie and asked:
You want to get married?"
She is only II and good looking She
liked Albert's broad, frank face and ten

"And go back to my claim in the strip
with me?''
"Yes"
Then the only thought that troubled
Albert was that every dish in the Okla
homa house was dirty and the floor had
not been swept for seven weeks. But he
soon dismissed that and said to her:
'Shall we take buggy ride?|
YES"
"And you go with me to get the

Her conversation wasn't in what might
be called beautifully balanced sentences

BULL MAD AT THE TRAIN

Robert Scott, engineer on the Oswego
division Of the Rome Watertown and
Ogdensburg railroad, had bull story to
tell when his train pulled into the Cen
trail station. The train had just passed
Minetto when gaunt red bull appeared
on the track, ambling over the ties in
very contented manner. Hearing
shrieks from whistle he quickened his
trot and apparently endeavored to set
the pace for the train to Fulton. The
warnings being of no avail, Scott put
on more steam, and as the engine forged
ahead the galloping animal turned to
one side of the track. AS the locomotive
