BY A CREEPING SYSTEM
Grafters in the Bad Lands Made
Big Haul.
AND THEY WILL ESCAPE
William Brown Mourns the Loss O
1900 Which He Packed With
Him on Trip to Galena
Street Resorts.

The robbery of William Brown, who
lost $1,000 to grafters of the bad lands
at an early hour yesterday morning,
was one of the largest, as we'll as one
of the most cleverly executed, of that
class of robberies commonly styled in
the street vernacular as "touch-doWns"
that has ever come to the attention of
the police, and as has been almost IN
variably the case, there seems not the
slightest probability that the guilty
party or parties will ever be singled
out and punished; there is scarcely a
possibility unless, as has been the case
in one or two exceptions to the rule,
there should be quarrel over the dvis-
ion of the spoils and some one of the
grafters ''squeals' to get even, for the
victim, even, has not the remotest idea
which one of the women he visited got
his money.
The robbery was undoubtedly COM
mitted by what is known to the police
and those who engage in it, as the
"creeping' system. One of the grafters
entices man into her resort and after
ascertaining that he has money enough
to make 1T worth while gives a signal 10
a woman, or perhaps, her lover, in an
adjoining apartment. Then while she
engages his attention the confederate
creeps in and goes through his clothes
Brown visited two places, at either of
which the trick might have been played
on him, but he is at loss to know
which woman to accuse. The first place
he visited was that of Ada Stuart, a
comedy mulatto woman, whose place IS
at y East Galena street, and the Sec
ond was that of May Jewell, at No. 3D.
He and the police suspect the Stuart
woman more strongly than the other
for the reason that a door commune

against them. Two secretaries Ca

We're also suspected were arrested and
held for Vagrancy.
The manner in which the robbery was
committed demonstrates the cleverness
of some of these female grafters. Brown
carried his money in a pocket book in
his inside coat pocket and had the
pocket pinned up with a large safety
pin. Whoever got the money took out
the pin, extracted the bills from the
pocket-book, put the book back in its
place and pinned the pocket up again
So nicely was the job done that Brown
did not discover his loss till
some time later, when he
went to a restaurant, where
he happened to notice the pin had been

Stories"
SHOWS A FALLING OFF

We are now in the midst of the spring
output of fiction. While there are many
books of evident merit and some of the
best writers are represented, it seems
to us. on the whole, that the standard
of this season shows a distinct falling
off from the record of the past two or
three years, yet it compares favora bly,
with the average production of the de-
cade which is now so near it's close, and
many works have appeared that are
worth the attention of our readers.
The most popular italian author of
the present time is Gabrielle D'Annun-
zio. The fiction Of the italian language
is distinctly inferior to that which ap-
pears in English, and D'Annunzio's
work gains nothing in translation. But
his 'Maidens of The Rocks" will be ac-
ceptable to the student as fair sam
pie of the work of the foremost novelist
of his nation.
An author who is to be commended
for her excellent stories of the Emerald
Isle is Jane Barlow. We already have
from her pen Bog Land Stories" "A
Creel of Irish Stories" and Irish
1dylls.' This spring she has given us
strangers at Lisconnel," which re-
tans the welcome flavor of her other
works.
Mrs. Amelia f. Barr is not an author
of broad intellectually, and she seems
to have worked out her stock of fresh
originality some time ago. But she al
ways writes a pleasant, healthful and
entertaining story with a sub-stratum
of good thought. So that her Il, Thou
and the Other One: A Love Story"
while far from possessing the charm of
the Border Shepherdess," 1.-THE Bow
of Orange Ribbon or of Remember
the Alamo" will be warmly welcomed
by our patrons.
In the line of the short story it is
acknowledged that the work of Amer-
can writers is particularly good. We
have authors who in this direction are
superior to Lillian Bell, but she comes
close to the front rank Her books are
never long, yet the Instinct of Step
Fatherhood' is not a larger volume
than usual and contains several tales.
Across the World for a Wife" by
Guy Boothby, is a story full of incident
and well told. Mr.. Boothby is one of
the Australian writers and has well
defined sensational tendency.

Birds That Dance.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
There is no longer any doubt that
birds are addicted to the dance. The
bower bird and the prairie fowl are
adopts in the art, while the American
grouse is a veritable master of cere-
monies. 1t is the custom of these birds
to prepare their ball room by beating
down the grass with their wings, and
then to dance something suspiciously
like the lancers. By twos and tours
they advance, bowling their heads and
dropping their wings; then they recede
and then advance again, and turn on
their toes, swelling their feathers and
clucking gently

of weeks ago a sheep herder from Fer
gus county, who had not been off the
range for nearly two years, came to
town to see the sights. He saw them
and paid for it, for the second nirht
he appeared at police headquarters and
informed the officers he had been re-
lieved of SITS, all the money he had
been able to save during two years he
had put in by himself without seeing
a dozen human beings. Detective Muir
ply went down the row with him, but
he could not pick out the woman who
robbed him. The sheep herder left town
and the incident was supposed to have
blown over when Detective Murphy
decided to "vag" a certain secretary
whom he suspected. This had the eff
feet of bringing the fellows mistress
forward to tell what she knew or pro-
feSsed to know. He told the officer the
Schofeld woman was the one who got
Reuben Clues money. The woman is a

they never knew before, is regarded as
sure evidence that they made a quick
