ran away and into the river. The horse
was drowned, and Johnson claimed the &C

Corporation Attorney Markham advised the
counsel that he did not see how the city
could be held liable but recommended that
if the case could be compromised for $3S the
annoyance and expense of suit in justice
court could be prevented.
The council accordingly passed an ordinance
settling the claim for this sum. In his veto
message Mayor Doran says:
From a careful perusal of all the papers
accessible to me, | find no evidence of
any valid claim on the part of the man

kind of claims as they seem to me more in
the nature of blackmail than of legitimate

of such character will have the evil effect Of
greatly multiplying them, and in the end

LACK ORIGINALITY.
Why Many Criminals Are Easily brought
to Justice.


lone reason why detectives appear
to do something miraculous occasional
ly is that there is after all very little
originality in criminals, said one Of
Chief Hazen's sleuthhounds recently.
"When man sets out to get money
by crooked means. he seldom sits down
and evolves new plan On the con-
trary, he evidently thinks Of the smart
cases he has heard of at different times,
makes up his mind which suits him
best and copies the plan adopted very
closely indeed.
Hence, when the detective sets out,
he has, in many instances, quite a
string Of precedents to take as guides to
the course the criminal will probably
pursue.
lone case, years ago, that helped me
immensely in the business, was forg-
cry. The man had disappeared and left
no clew whatever behind
Il obtained access to his room and
found that he had developed partial
ity for cutting scraps from newspapers
There was whole drawerful Of these,
and i went through them carefully.
Several had relation to forgery
cases, and one cutting that appeared to
be pretty badly fingered described how
a forger had got away in woman's at
tire.
Il worked on the theory that my
bird had flown in this manner and fol-
lowed 1t up until finally got ON the
track and captured the criminal

remarkable one, but, as q matter Of
fact. the runaway had left for me an
exceedingly valuable clew. II he had
taken the precaution to burn that cut
ting, he might have escaped capture al
