The expression on the mates face was
fairly fiendish as he snatched an iron
Delaying pin from the fife rail and
rushed at Tom, crying:
''You won't stir, Ell! Curse you, I'll
show you the difference between afoat

But his blow was arrested in mid air
by anliron grip about his wrist and the
weapon was torn from his hand instant

the mizzenmast with force that near

sternly:
Don't try that with me again or I'll

AS he spoke he released the mate, who
sprang for the cabin steps, his face
crimson with passion, shouting:
'Mutiny! Mutiny! I'll have your

The two men who grasped the spokes
had barely time to obey the order when,
with shrek of wind and rush of boil

bark and pressed her over until the
wards touched the surface to Reward,
The storm staysail and maintopsail
were rent to ribbons, but the head sail
held, and, as the stanch bark slowly
righted, this caused her to pay slowly
off, and she gathered Roadway at the
same time. Slowly at first and then
with increasing speed she bounded
along before the hurricane.
And now the sea began to rise in all
its majesty. The masses of water
swept in wild waves before the hur-
ricane, their crests blowing off into
spray as they met the full force of the
wind. After several efforts the crew
succeeded in loosing few inches OF
the fore topsail, and, for awhile this held
nobly. Then came a stronger pull
than usnaa, and the sail was torn bod

The Santa Fe Has Ever to Con.
tend With the kaW
Between the Cities of Topeka
and Kansas City.
DEVOURS ROADBED
Repairing of bikes and Mainte.
nance of Track
Has Cost the Company Fully a
Quarter of a Million.

Passengers who travel over the Santa
Fe between Topeka and Kansas City
are familiar with the fact that the line
of roads runs in close proximity to the
Kansas river the entire distance of 81
miles. Few of those, however, are
aware that this particular fact has cost
the Santa Fe company a quarter of
million dollars.
Because of its aptness In devouring
land the Missouri river has earned the
title of "treacherous." The Santa F'e
people are in a position to use the term
''rapacious Kaw'' because of the ease
with which the latter river has deVour-
ed the thousands of dollars of company
money since the 81 miles of track be-
tween Topeka and Kansas City was ac-
Quired by the road.
a Without a bridge across it, the river
has cost the company in maintenance
of track fully $3.50, 900. This is Vouched
for by Santa Fe officials in this city.
The stone bikes visible to passengers
through the car windows, which project
from the track into the river, represent
a part of this expenditure New bikes
have to be put in from time to time,
and the old bikes have to be repaired.
Often the river rises at certain location
so as to overflow the rOadbed. This al
ways means a considerable outlay of
money.
AS long as the Santa Fe track con-
tinues to run along the seemingly slug
gish river which will probably be as
long as the Santa Fe road is in exist
ence, a certain amount will have to be
expended each year in protecting the
track from the water. 1t forms one of
the items of expense that are never
thought of outside of railroad circles.

JACK THE STRANGLER
Is Thought to Have Been Captured
in San Francisco.

San Francisco, April 24-Harry Wilson,
the mulatto whom the police have arrested
on suspicion of being the man who several
years ago Strangled a number of women
in this city and Denver, will be held re-
sponSible for several daring robberieS,
nearly all committed in the tenderloin dis
trict.
While the detectives and policemen were
securing the city for Wilson, who recently
robbed a Mrs: Griffin and several other
women, he visited the house of Mrs. Leon
ard on Ellis street and pretended to be
smitten with her charms. While they
were in a room the upper floor Wilson
seized his unsuspecting victim by the
throat and after almost strangling her
threw her, over the banister to the floor
below. He then entered other private
apartments and stole 500. For this he
may be held on charge of assault to
murder
While convinced that he is the much
wanted stranger, the police say it will be
difficult if not impossible to convict him
of the crimes committed so long ago. Will
son claims that he is a gambler and admits
having been in Denver when several wo-
men were foully murdered. He ridicules
the suspicion that he is the stranger and
claims to be able to prove his innocence
when it is necessary. He also discaims
any connection with the murders of wo-
men in this city.

AN EXTRA CONVEYANCE.
Man With a Buggy Hauled in the
Patrol Wagon.

John Dalhen had partaken of too
much liquor and when he started to
drive home he could not keep his horse
and buggy in the middle of the street.
1t was his fault for he would pull the
wrong line.
Officers Parcels and Henderson saw
him. He fell out of the buggy and was
covered with mud. They tried to get
him in the buggy but he would not stay
in.
The officers thought that the patrol
wagon would be the thing. 1t was
called. The man was loaded in and the
horse and buggy tied on behind. Now
the joke seems to be on the officers who
made the arrest. They had a horse and
buggy and unless it was style they were
after the patrol wagon was an unneces-
Sary evil.
