Charles L Thompson, the young man

The arrest was made. on telegram

Chief Strauss telegraphed to the auth

No explanation of the charge was made.
The young man was kept in the jail for
a week and nothing was heard from
California.
Last night Attorney w. +. Schoch

FOR ANOTHER'S CRIME.
Michael o'Donneu Spends Ten Years
In Prison for His Brothers offence.

New York, Dec. 16.-District Attorney
Gardiner today sent a letter to Cover
nor Black asking for the pardon of Mi
chael O'DonnelI, for ten years confined
in Sing Sing prison, on a conviction for
burglary. This request followed quick
ly the confession of the conVict's bro
Their, James, now dead.
The burglary was committed on April
5. 1888, in the saloon of Max G. Stein
at No. 40 East Sixty-fourth street. The
police were called, and arrested Mich
On the following morning Michael
O'DOnnen was arrested on the strength
of the Identification Of Stein, who had
surprised the burglars.
When placed on trial Feehan pleaded
guilty and begged for mercy. O'DOnnell
pleaded not guilty and his testimony
was zorro borated by Feehan. But Stein
was positive, and on his testimony
O'Donneu was convicted. Both men
were sentenced to 80 years imprison-
ment each in the penitentiary.
Feehan died in prison on Christmas
day. Before his death he scrubbed on
bit of paper that O'DOnneN was innO-
cent, and confessed the names of his ac-
complies to Senator Maurice Feather
stone-one of whom was James O'Don-
nell, a brother of Michael.
Senator FeatheFstOne was much I'm
pressed with this confession and called
at the penitentlaFy. After a CONVERSE
"O'DOnnell, you are a wrOnged man. I
am going to get a pardon for yous''
He then explained that Feehan had
confessed all.
With tears in his eyes, O'Donnell, who
had been imprisoned wrongfully, and
who had kept a secret to save his bro
Their from prison said:
For GODS sake, don't. Poor Jim is
dying and he won't have many days to
live. Let him enjoy his last days in
peace. He's got consumption and his
conscience troubles him, and know
he wants me to get out, but poor Jim
won't suffer il I can help it. I am a
strong fellow and will live down this
matter"
Senator Featherstone was much i'm
pressed with the brOtherly love of Mi
most dramatic and pathetic thing he
ever saw. He determined to get a par
don for O'Donnell, whether he wished
it or not.
On April last, just 10 years after
the crime was committed. the doctors
informed James O,Donneu that he was
dying. A notary was summoned and in
his presence the death-bed confession
was made and afterwards remade in the
shape of an affidavit. The next day
James O'Donneu died.
When the news of the confession and
death of his brother was conveyed to
Michael O'Donnell, who for 10 years had
suffered for another's crime, he sat
down on the narrow cot of his cell and
cried like a child. When the warden
told him he believed he was innocent
and cOmmiserated with him, the pris-
oner said he would have remained the
whole 80 years had Jim only lived
1t is expected that Governor Black
will grant the man who was wrongful
ly convicted a pardon in a day or two.

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia
and Indigestion


The national disease of Americans is
Indigestion or in its chronic form, dys-
pepsia, and for the very reason that 1t
is so common many people neglect tax
ing proper treatment for what they
consider trifling stomach trouble when
as a matter of fact, indigestion lays the
foundation for many incura BILE dis
eases. No person with a vigorous
healthy stomach viii fell a victim to
consumption Many kidney diseases
and heart troubles date their beginning
from poor digestion; thin, nervous peo-
achs are out of gear; weary. languid,
faded out women owe their condition to
imperfect indigestion.
When nearly every person you meet
IS afflicted with weak digestion it is not
surprising that nearly every secret pat
ent medicine on the market claims to
be a cure for dyspepsia, as we'll as a
score of other troubles, when in fact, as
DR. WeFthier says, there is but one
genuine dyspepsia cure which Is per-
fectly safe and reliable, and moreover.
this remedy is not a patent medicine,
but It is a scientific com binatiOn of pure
pepStn Gree from animal matter), veg
etable essences, fruit salts and bismuth.
It IS sold by druggists under name OF
Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets. No extrav-
agant claims are made for them, but

NEW YORK COWBOYS.
Woes of Gotham Police Who Are Com.
PEELED to Drive Stray Cows to Pound


New York. Dec. 16.-In all the
Greater New York metropolis there is
but one pound. This is a big Enclosure
resembling a stockyard, located at East
One Hundred and Eighty-siXth street.
The surrounding country is almost a
wilderness, and to find the place easily
one must be familiar with that part of
the city.
Rocky crags, such as have made Har-
lem famous, look over. the fence from
almost every side, and the nearest in
habitants are goats and squatteTs. Yet
to this place every stray animala, bird
or fowl caught within the limits Of the
city, whether it be on the next block to
the pound or at the southern end of
Staten Island, must be brought, the
duty devolVing upon the officer so I'M
lucky as to make the capture. This led
to many lud1crOuS, and to the officers
exasperating experiences. The law
makes no provision for transportation
other than that furnished by the legs
of the animals and their captOr. If a.
COW is caught browsing on a vacant lot
in far Rockaway, it has to be driven
through the streets, across the counties
of Kings and New York and part of
Queens and Westminster. The effect of
this is discOmforting to the suburban
patrolman.
An odium soon becomes attached to this
part of his duties. Not only the small
boys, but their friends, boot him, and he
is jollied by the members of the force
pOpulOus parts of the city which have to
be passed through with their prizes. The
suburban police soon become known as
cow catchers-" The result is that they
shirk this part Of their work. If a po-
lceman sees a COW ravaging a truck gar
den or a pig burroWing his way under a
yard hedge. he viii discreetly turn away
and walk to the other end of his post.
This is all very well for the officers, but
hard on the pOundmaster. who is paid a
fee on every animal which is captured,
either out of the price of its sale or the
amount received for its redemption
The dearth of spoil, however, has led

limits of the great consolidated. Here

He is a well known Topekan and he
called on Prof. tombstone about two

ing medicine. His nerve structure was
all run down. a dozen different symp-
toms were distinctly noticeable, but still
he refused to believe in the power of
remedies to cure.
why don't you cure yourself, then?"
queried Prof. tombstone.
Because I can't, and so thought I
would try yOu,' the Topekan retorted.
Yesterday he began on his third
months treatment and argued there
was a great deal in Christian Science,
but not so much as was there in Prof.
Johnstone's treatment. One by one the
symptoms have left him; little by little
the Inflammation was reduced, and lit
tie by little the life and vitality return
ed. His was q, severe case and so it will
require in all three months time to eff
feet a cure.
For the benefit of those who cannot

be we'll to say that all letters of inquiry
as regards this great treatment should
be addressed Prof Paul Alexander
