WOMAN SHERIFF IN UTAH.
Miss Claire Helena Ferguson Has
Considerable Nerve.

NeENes
From the Philadelphia Times.
Miss Claire Helena Ferguson, who may
rightly claim to be the most daring woman
in The world, was brought up in a home of
refinement. Her mother 10 a practicing
physician of repute, and ii was while as
sisting her mother in the operatng-room
that Miss Ferguson acquired the nerve
which now stands her in such good stead
Two years ago, when she was barely
twenty-one, Miss Ferguson, who seems TO
have been born with a craving for risk
ana adventure, applied for and obtained
the post of assistant to the sheriff of Salt
Lake City
When Sheriff Lewis handed her her com
miss ion he told her that II might be her
duty at any time to execute a criminal
and that she had better start revolver
practice at once.
II is the custom In Utah 10 allow con-
demned man to choose whether he will die
by the hangman's rope or by a bullet and
IL he elects to be shot he is led out 10 a

she has not yet been called upon to exer-

One Of her earliest adventures was such
as would have tested the nerves and oour-
age Of The bravest man. She was EFT for
a time In charge Of one Of the most dar-
ing burglars in Utah, handsome, unprin-
cipled scoundrel, who had already served
five terms Of Imprisonment, and who goes
by the name of Handsome Gray" The
man was hand-cuffed, but contrived 10

BECKER PAYS THE PENALTY.
Chicago Butcher, Who Murdered His
Wife, Hanged Yesterday.

Chicago, Nov. 10-Albert August Becker,
the German butcher who, on Jan. q last
murdered his wife, Rachel and afterward
der to dispose of them, was hanged in
the county Jail at 1905 o'clock this after
noon.
Becker's neck was not broken by the
fall, and it was sixteen minutes before he
was pronounced dead.
On the scaffold Becker protested his in
nocence and declared George Sutterlin,
the father of his second wife, was the
real murderer.
The case of August Becker in many ways
bore a remarkable similarity to that of
Adolph Luetgert. Both of the condemned
men were butchers and the motive for
the crime was the same in both instances,
the desire 20 get rid of the wife in order
to marry a younger woman. The man.
ner of committing the crimes was also
much the same, both men, according to
the testimony, being extremely brutal In
the killing and both using the same means
to dispose of the body, by boiling and
burning.
It was proven at Becker's trial that af-
ter killing his wife he had chopped her
body to pieces, then boiled the remains
on his kitchen stove. afterward burying
the remains in various places.
AS in the case of Luetgert, the rings
of the murdered wife played no small
part in the testimony leading to the con-
viction. Like Luetgert, also, Becker en-
deavored to explain his wife's disappear
ance by saying she had eloped with an
other man.
Becker made several confessions. In his
first statement he said he had drowned his
wife in Lake Michigan. Later he en-
deavored to implicate in the crime the
father of the woman whom ne married
after numbering his first wife, and to the
last stuck to this version.

MEN TOOK FRENCH LEAVE.
About 100 Men Deserted From the
FOrty-third Regiment.

New York. Nov. 1O.-A special to the
Press from Burlington, VT, says:
officers of the Forty-third Infantry at
Fort Ethan Allen were perturbed this
morning when they found that large
part of the regiment had taken French
leave" The men were paid off yesterday
and those contemplating deseftion were
waiting for the money.
The officers admit that 100 pTivates ana
non-commissioned officers ran away last
night and the number that deserted In
che last four weeks will swell the list to
200. Probably twenty or thirty of the men
will return and report for duty before tho
regiment starts for New YORK to embark
on the transport Meade on Monday.
Last night many of the soldiers visited
the clothing stores in this city and bought
civilian clothing. They went down 20 the
wharf and discarded their uniforms, throw
ing them behind lumber piles and into the
lake. Twelve uniforms were found this
morning behind the railroad station and
fifteen more We're found on the wharf.
No steps have been taken by Col Muir
ray to recapture the deserters. The regi-
ment will start for the Philippines next
