PEARL BREAKS JAIL.
Young Woman Stage Robber Cuts
Her Way to Liberty.
Hole in the wall Shows How She

Framed ry Alen-The Story
of Her Crime.

Pearl Hart, the female stage robber
incarcerated at Tucson, A. T., awaiting
trial on an indictment in the United
States court, broke Jail the other morn
ing by cutting "a 15-inch opening
through the wall ten feet above the level
of her cell floor. II is supposed that she
had confederate and is attired in male
attire.
A few days ago she declared that she
would never submit to be tried under the
laws neither she nor her sex had a voice
in making.
Pearl Hart is the woman who helped
hold up the stage between Globe and
Florence on Monday, May 20. She did
the work after the manner of a master
hand She and her companion, joe
Boot, were captured a few days later by
Sheriff Truman.
The stage was numbering along
through the hills with nothing of un-
usual interest to disturb the monotony
of travel, when two persons attired in
mountain dress suddenly appeared
from behind a clump of bushes. With
revolvers cooked and held with steady
aim, they gave the oldtime frontier or
der to "stand and deliver"
The distance from Globe to Florence
is G5 miles over country inha bited by
an occasional prospector, hunter or
band of rowing cowboys riding the

on the banks of the ella river lies River
side. Between Riverside and Globe the
country is so rough as to be impossible,
except on the stage road. Tall, craggy
peaks rapidly give place to narrow,
winding canyons. Formerly there was
much freighting to Globe over this road,
but this is now done away with by a
railroad which reaches the camp from
another direction. It was in this lonely

A MONKEYS VICTIM.
Attractive Cincinnati Widow L
Snatched Baldheaded by Mis-
chievous Little Similar.

There's an attractive young widow
on Eighth street, at Cincinnati, who
had her matrimonial chances almost
ruined recently by the sportiveness OF
a red-capped monkey going about with
his master. This widow is buxom,
and possessed of a fair amount of this
worlds goods, and, being of lively dis
position and sociable, she naturally has
many admirers and some wooers.
A few days ago, says the Commercial
Tribune, she gave sort of musical en-
tertainment in her parlors, when were
present dozen or more friends, amor. x
them two men whom she was particu-
larry anxious to impress favorably, for,
be it said sub rosa, she wants to marry
again.
All went well until an organ grinder
and monk set up before the house.

the man and it's little neck craned in
the most beseeching attitude. This
continued until several peanuts had dis
appeared Then the observer said:
''Did you train this squirrel? Does it
know you?''
"No,' was the reply, ANYONE can call
these little fellows if they only know
how" and handing nut to woman,
he added: ''Take quarter of it in your
fingers and hold it out so, and pretend
to throw it,"
The squirrel had retreated to the OPP
posite edge of the walk during this con-
versation, but kept very keen eye on
the two people. When the new friend
tried to entice him, he was not sure
about things, and expressed his uncer-
tainty and indecision by many pretty
whisks and maneuvers, but finally,
with the air of a squirrel who would
say faint squirrel never won fair nut,
he darted toward the outstretched NOR
sci, seized it, and, sitting on his hind
feet, ate it all.
Just as he had decided to accept an
other fragment he discovered in the
grass another and larger nut, and, with
ia most businesslike air, he picked it up,
carried it into the middle of the lawn
and buried it. Then he returned for
more peanuts.

an abnormal energy in hustlihg for
small coin. He hoped nimbly from one
spectator to another, holding out his
paw, and whenever he received con-
tribution he would stuff it Immediately
into his pocket.
presently the organ grinder called
upon him to disgorge, and to my great
surprise the monkey ran out to the end
of his tether and showed every sign of
rage and indignation. He clutched his
pocket convulsively, and when the man
tried to approach he clawed at him like
a wildcat. It was perfectly clear to my
mind that that monkey was the de-
scendant of a long line of monkey-grab-
bling ancestors, and was merely exhibit
ing his hereditary instincts. At any
rate, he stood off the organ grinder to
the great delight of the crowd, and the
fellow turned blue with wrath. At last
he took very unfair advantage. He
reeled up the string, lifted the poor
beast from the ground, grabbed him by
the tail and held him reverse in mid
air.. Fifteen. cents in coppers dropped
out of his pocket, and as they hit the
sidewalk the monkey emitted howl of
grief that was audible half way to the
Clay statue. Then his owner tied him
to tree and proceeded to gather up the
coin.
''The sorrow of the monk while he
watched the operations was really pa
thetic, but when passed their way half
an hour later he was hustling around
for pennies as eagerly as ever. If that
animal was loose in his native wilds I'll
bet he'd organize a cocoanut trust in
side of ten DAYS."

The vat, which is used for MASKING

into it to repair one of the two big steel
knives which revolve from a shaft in
the center and mix the malt. While
working away Sapiro was startled to
see the knives commence to move.
Thomas Mckay, the engineer, not know

the knives in motion.

ran around in the slippery vat at TOP
speed. For five minutes the race for
life continued. Finally Sapiro's cries
attracted the attention of Mckay, who
came running to the side of the vat.
He was SO terrified by what he saw
that he became rooted to the ground
and in daze watched the chase. Sapiro
cried desperately for help. The shaft
had reached it's maximum speed and
the man between the knives could not
last long. In the meantime slip on
the copper bottom meant a horrible
death. Sapiro was on his last legs when
workmen from other parts of the build
ing heard his cries and stopped the ma
chinery. The runner fell to the bot
tom of the vat exhausted. He was I'M

country, nearer to Riverside than Globe,
the robbery occurred.
"Hold up, there!" the cry rang out
as the two figures. with revolvers lev
eled, stepped into the road before the
fast-driving stage. The driver pulled
up the horses with a tug that nearly set
them on their launches.
The situation was not realized
though two passengers had loaded
six-shooters, until they were safely COW
cred by the weapons and commanded to
line up for inspection.
The driver had nothing to lose. One
passenger, o. ]. Neill, who is we'll
known in the territory, was relieved of
$500, six-shooter and gold watch and
chain. About $50 was taken from the
other two passengers, besides a re-
volver.
It all occurred in few minutes, but
not so quickly but the driver and the
passengers had time to take numerous
mental notes.
Both robbers were attired in mems
clothing, but it was observed that while
one did the robbing the smaller of the
two, short distance away, held deadly
aim on the little party with never a
tremor Of the small white hands. While
not sound escaped the lips of the de-
termined face that peered from behind
the big revolver, the stature, general
appearance and the partial view of the
features of the smaller robber pro-
claimed undeniably the fact that 1t was
a woman.
There have been female highwaymen
before, but never a woman stood forth
more sublimely self-poised in such a
dramatic scene. Her conduct would
have done credit to the tutelage OF
Black Bart or any hero of the tales re-
lated in the border histories.
After the hold-up, which was ac-
complished without the waste I a
cartridge or the disturbing OF even a
jackrabbit, the stage was allowed to
proceed. Mr.. O'Neill stopped off at
Riverside and at once began arranging
plan of pursuit. The stage, with its
passengers, continued the journey to
Florence, where Sheriff Truman was
Informed. He joined Neill at Riverside,
and the little posse took to the hills.
The capture was made at night in the
brush in the hills near Benson.
The woman showed fight, and taunt-
ed her companion for allowing himself
to be taken without battle. The Off
GERS found in the woman's possession a
sack containing $500 and gold watch
belonging to Neill, one of the stage pas
sengers.
On being taken to Florence the wom-
an was recognized as Pearl Hart, who is
well known throughout Arizona and
southern California. She is about Is
years old, of medium height, with dark
hair and blue eyes. Some of her friends
say that she planned the robbery in or

| A machine tor utilizing the light OF

earth during cold or night, has been
invented by a resident of Washington.
William Calver, whose claims are that
the machines will do away with the use
of all present illuminants or the ne

Mr.. Calver's machine utilities the

that the portion of the solar rays which
is poured down on a given space dur

for the future and taken advantage of on
dark or cold days. He declares that he
can turn out power in such quantities
that machinery, which must be run
with steam generated by fire, can be
used by the adoption of this stored
heat, which will accomplish every
purpose to which the fire under boiler
is now put.
