City, where he saw and greatly admir-
ed the bright uniforms and prompt
delivery of mail by the postman, wa,

re DEuM LAUDAMUs.

A person calling himself James R |
Mann, who now represents the First
illinois District, IN Congress, has etat-
ID on the floor of the House that he is

words to that effect, with other addi-
tional remarks of like character.
We have taken, therefore, slight
in this person, and have en-
to look up his record to see If
be can be identified by people in gen.
eral, or by the law officers in particular
of any Southern State. and to see If
any charges were preferred against him
about the date of his departure, and
if, SO whether the offense or ofienses
are extraditable, just when he left the
South and the order Of his going. But
his biographical sketch printed in the
Congressional Directory leaves bis
early life in such haze and mystery

learn this much, however, from the
directory that he IL now .Republi-

Novel Booty Taken by Thieves.

There are some remarkable thefts
that the police are called upon to
hunt down, but two of the ~strangest
and cheapest robberies that ever came
to the notice of the seventeenth dis
trict officers were reported a few laws
ago. In II case a ragman had push
ed his cart up an alley at Seventeenth
and Reed streets and left his v
ance, which contained two bags of
rags, to enter the real of a house in
search of more rags. When he came
out of the house three minutes later
his two bags of rags were gone. There
stood the empty cart. No trace could
be found of the thieves. Not a square
away, about the same time, there was
carried off a tubful of infants clothes.
which had been put out to soak pre-
vious to washing. The thieves took
the tub and all. even the water In
which the clothes were soaking

There has been a great deal of specu-
lation as to why it is that people who
lose their way, either in forests or open
prairies, will always move in a circle,
and almost inevitably to the right.
The following suggestions, while they
do not answer this query, are interest
ing, as showing the attention that the
subject has received: Some physiolo-
gists, anatomists and speculative phil
osophers claim that the left leg in the
human species is slightly longer than
the right, and SO takes longer steps,
thus causing a motion to the right
which in time completes a circle, if the
mind is so bewildered that it has no
fixed objective point in view. ParhPre
the real answer to this queer Question
lies IN the fact that mos persons use
their right hands in preference to their
left, and are accustomed to passing OBJ
Jects on their right-hand side, and so,
unconsciously, keep edging off to the
right. On a prairie, however, where
there is nothing in the way of obstacles
worthy of mention, this cause or rea-
son for walking in a 'right-handed'
circle would hardly hold good"

He made a head for the dummy ny

the top he set his hat. He proppei up
worked around behind France, and
got within thirty yards of him before
came. AS soon IS it was light
France peeped up over his dead bron-
cho and saw what he believed to be
Dahlman, sitting up on the prairie a
full half mile away. He stood up and
fired at the supposed body several
times, anxiously looking after each shot
to see if he had hit the mark. Sud
denly he was paralyzed to feel a touch
on his arm, and hear a gentle voice
say:
France, the jig's up. II you move
I'll have to bore a few holes through
you"
France did move and two revolver
shots rang out. The first broke
Frances right arm, the second one his
left. Then Dahlman, chilled to the
bone, left the wounded cowboy and
went over to where his clothes were
and dressed. Then he took his pris-
oner back to Chadron, seventy miles
away
One day a young minister of the gos-
pei came to Chadron and announced
that he wanted to preach. There was
no church in Chadron, and no unoccu-
pied buildings. The owner of the most
orderly saloon in town finally proposed
to close up his bar for one hour and
let the preacher use the saloon as a
church. The idea took well, and at the
appointed hour the saloon was iammed
TO suffocation. The young preacher de-
liveTed an excellent and at the
close took up a collection. Soon the
bar resumed business. A bad cowboy
thought it would be fun to make the
preacher dance and sent a bullet into
the floor close to the ministerial feet
as a hint to begin at once. Dahlman,
who was a witness of the assault,
knocked the thugs revolver from his
hand and sent him staggering against
the bar with 2 stiff Highlander. Be
fore the Convoy could recover and
draw another gun Dahlman had him
Covered with a revolver.
Il know the preacher does not ap-
prove of dancing" drawled Dahlman,
but perhaps he would not object to
seeing a cowboy dance. Now, dance,
you blankety-blank cur"
h cowboy objected and Dahlman
planted a bullet so heal his feet that
the bully felt the draught.
Dance, and dance a plenty!" yelled
the sheriff.
The cowboy danced. Whenever he
showed signs of stopping Dahlman
spurred him on with a revolver shot
that almost grazed the skin. The cow
boy danced until his tongue protruded
from his mouth and his feet each
weighed a ton. Then Dahlman made
him get on his knees and beg the
preachers pardon. Dahlman served
three terms, and refused another re-
election. He declined on the ground
that the community was becoming so
moral that there was no fun in being
sheriff. He may be seen on the streets
of Omaha nearly every day, and a
stranger would pick him out as being
the last man to face a revolver with a
smile and go up against a gang of men
with records for murder as long as
the moral law. But the man who tries
to impose upon Dahlman because he is
small and quiet and given to keeping
in the background is bound to meet
with a surprise that will turn his hail
gray.

TERROR TO BAD MEN.
FRONTIER SHERIFF WITH
STRONG NERVES.
Small In Body and Easy In Speech
But Never Failed to Take His Man
Tanning a Cattle Rustler-Made the
CowL~y Dance.

Small in body and easy in speech,
but a terror to bad men" in the days
when the frontier towns of the west
were overrun with toughs of the worst
sort, James C. Dahlman, now a lead
ing business man of Omaha, Neb., and
secretary of the state board OF trans
portation, has a record which he made
while sheriff OF Davies county which
stamps him as one of the coolest men
who ever drew a gun. Chadron was
the county seat and when he became
sheriff it was a literal he'll. Dahlman
began lis term of office by notifying all
concerned that Chadron would no
longer be a harbor for horse thieves
and cattle rustlers, that men with
notches On their guns would be per-
manently laid to rest in the Sane dunes
if they failed to emigrate toward the
setting sum-, and that gambling would
have to be conducted on something like
q genteel basis, instead of being a
drunken orgy, with painted female at
tachments. When the notice was post
ed the bad men laughed and the paint
ed women shrieked with delight at the
~audacity of the consumptive looking
tenderfoot.
A week after Dahlman issued his
order a noted cattle rustler named
Hindman came to Chadron, dra nix his
fill of frontier whisky, and remarked in
a loud voice that he would like to see
that sawed off little runt of a sheriff
arrest him. After so remarking Hind
man proceeded to shoot up the town.
The toughs expected to see Dahlman
leave town on important business, but
he had business in Chadron. He let
Hindman vociferate for an hour or two
and then prepared to clip his wings.
Hindman went into Buck Sweeney's
dance hall, and after shooting up the
place inquired as to the whereabouts
of the sheriff who was going to do

Queer Predicament of a Dead Man,

In the New York Assembly the other
day, Mr.. Weeks, author of the bill
abolishing common law marriages.
was arguing in favor of the measure
and attacked the common law mar
riage on the ground that as the law
now stands no a can tell whether
he is married or not. He ~astounded
the legislators by this statement: "a
mar die and along comes a woman
heavily yelled and in deep mourning
and claims to be his wife, and for the
first time the man hears that he is
married" Not until the Assembly had
recovered from its fit of laughter did
Mr.. Weeks realize that he had clothed
the dead mar with remarkable power
in permitting him to retain his sense
of hearing.
