INGENUITY OF A THIEF.
He Compels Four Stolen Turkeys to
FLY with Him,

He Compels Four Stolen Turkeys to
Fly with Him.
In seeking to escape from the police
recently E. c. Jones, who is credited
with being a chronic petty larcenist,
1mprovised a balloon out of four or i've
turkeys, says the Denver Times. Pa
trolman William Hogan was trudging
peacefully down Market street about
O'Clock in the evening when his eye fell
on the form of a man turning into Mar
'ket from 18th. In the mans hands,
two in the hand; dangled four live,
squawking turkeys. At the instant
when Officer Hogan's eyes lit on the
man and the turkeys the mans eye
lit on the form of Officer Hogan. This
coincidence was followed by strange
doings. The man with the turkeys
Dolted for the stairway leading to fur
nished rooms with Officer Hogan in hot
pursuit. The man seemed to realize
as he reached the foot of the stairway
that unless something miraculous hap
pened he would be overtaken. A hap
py thought seized him. With quick
movement of his arms he showed The
four turkeys he had hitherto
carried dangling, head down, from his
hands, and had found to be a great
burden-aloft above his head. In
stantly the wings of the great birds ex-
banded and began to flap nightly.
This action of the four pairs of wings
resulted in a motion much like that
OF balloon, flying machine or an
aeroplane. Mr.. Jones found himself
jerked quickly and irresistibly up the
stairway and rapidly out of the
clutches OF the pursuing copper. The
movement was a powerful one, and it
would unquestionably have landed Mr..
Jones in safety had it not been for the
roof. But alas! the roof was in the
way. The four muscular turkeys
scared steadily and serenely upward,
passing the first floor landing with
ease and reaching forward with great
ambition for higher things. Mr.. Jones
chuckled gayly. All of a sudden,
though, there was a dull thud and
heavy fall. The heads of the four
turkeys had crashed into the ceiling.
and; dazed by the conclusion, the four
turkeys and Mr.. Jones tumbled into
squealing, kicking heap on the floor.
Oh1cer Hogan rushed up, seized them,
bundled them into the patrol wagon
and sent them to the police station
house. Mr.. Jones was locked up for
petty larceny and the four turkeys
were turned over to the custodian to
await the appearance of claimant.

A CRIMINAL ACTION IS BROUGHT
And Stewart May Also Sue for Per.

Mccain Stewart, colored, brings the
first action in Minneapolis under the civil

restaurant keeper. Flangstad was ar
ralgned in the police court this morning,
charged with violating the civil rights
statute passed by the last legislature.

taurant yesterday for meal. He took a.
place at the table and waited for the pro-
prletor, who was acting as a waiter, to
serve him. Fully forty-f1ve minutes

come In after him, had been waited upon,
anu yet no effort was made to supply his
wants. stewart called Flangstad and

A number of men who were eating left

flangstad. Stewart then tried to get an

refused and the colored man swore out a.
warrant. The incident has aroused the
colored population, of the city, and the
case will be fought to the bitter end.

MADE UP ON CHRISTMAS DAY.
H:snand and Wife Never Spoke to On,

A''soand and Wife Never Spoke to Ono
Another in Twenty Years.
Last Christmas was happy day for
a New York farmer and his wife. On
That day Mr.. and Mrs. John Stewart of
Matawan resumed their old relations
toward one another and both are now
once more happy. Twenty-one years
nave Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart been mar
r1ed, but for the last twenty years
neither has spoken a word directly to
the other. When either wished to say
anything he or she would speak to a
black cat. In this way they have liv-
ed. Neighbors often tried to bring
about reconciliation, but never sue
ceeded, as neither would give in to the
other.
The quarrel grew out of Mrs. Stew
arts desire 70 go to church. Before
ner marriage she was in the habit OF
attending every sunday, and after sne
became Mrs. Stewart she still desired
TO continue the practice. Her husband
objected. He did not believe in church
going, and preferred to have his wife
with him on the only day in the week
on which he did not labor. The result
was that Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart gave
up speaking directly to one another.
Mrs. Stewart every Sunday went to
church and sat in the seat she occu-
pied when a mere child and always
alone. When friends asked her why
her husband did not accompany her
she was ready with an excuse for him.
The Stewards are. going to celebrate
the settlement Of their long quarrel
by giving party, to which will be in
vited all their friends. Neighbors are
now wondering which Of the stubborn
couple was the first to give in.

excitement, and every one seemed to be
getting ready to go to war and hoping that
they would have the chance. In Nebraska

their enthusiasm was of the bubbling-over
order. They said that the people were great
