AN EASY ROAD TO FAME.
A Sensational Story Writer Who Gets
His Climaxes Free.


There's a man who has 20 clever
fellows working for him; they give
him their best brain power, and vet
none of them have ever secured a dol
lar for it,"
1t was o'clock in a downtown res
taurant, and the speaker nodded to-
ward small. dark man, who sat at a
table a few feet awy. The little man
is writer of short stories of thrill
ing and dramatic character. He is as
prolific a writer as "Old Sleuth," and
makes big income yearly by his pen.
He lives at hotel downtown. and
while he has no regular connection
with newspapers, his hours are those
OF reporter on a morning journal.
Twelve O'Clock at night finds him in
some OF the newspaper Offices or at
the rooms of the Press Club in a
friendly chat with a bunch of "all
nighters."
He writes his melodramatic stories
up to a crisis, lays down his pen and
walks over to city room, where a
dozen reporters are throwing the last
of the days writing into the copy bas-
ket. Everybody soon begins to spin
yarns.
Curious thing came under my
notice a few days ago." begins the
writer of melodramatic tales. He
sketches the plot of his unfinished
story up to the difficult point, which
has stopped him. "Now, what do you
suppose happened next?" he philoso-
phizes, Ticking the ashes from the end
of his cigar.
I'll bet so and so," shouts one of
the boys.

poses a second. People under such
circumstances would have"-and he
finishes the story. 20 go ~.
In 10 minutes the romancer has half
dozen plausible sequels suggested to

strolls out and over to his hotel with

SAVAGE HAIR-DRESSING.

Hair-dressing among savages is an
art absolutely unequaled among Avl-
lized people, and the edifices erected su
the heads of Africans and Fiji island
ers are works of time and, like Rome,
are not built in day nor taken down
in night. From the island of Eugnas
near Sumatra, comes a curious heal
ornament. 1t is bell-shaped cap Of
black wool, with a grotesque little
figure of man seated on top, with
eyes of mother-of-pearl, the black n
laid with spots of the same substasse.

made far apart. Consequently, more
than twenty miles an hour cannot be
made on the level with safety. only
one passenger and two freight trains
a day are run. To add TO the danger
there has been put on the line one or
the heaviest engines In existence, the
compound system. The light rails, tho
steep incllnes and the high grading
combined make travelling risky. On
sleep incllnes, owing 10 the light rails,
the heavy engine cannot be held, and,
running at speed OF thlrty-three
miles an hour, turns the rails out.
Therefore It has been concluded that
the road must be reconstructed on
broader lines.

CAR CRASHED
INTO A HOUSE
CENTERvILLE CAR JUMPED THE
TRACK AND JARRED THE
PASSENGERS.
SOME WERE INJURED
BUT NOT SERIOUSLY,
Caused BY Piece Of Slag-Reward For
Discovery Of Miscreant Who
Put It There.

Car No. 1S, run by Conductor Ross and
Motorman McGrew, left Centerville at
1890 this morning. At the crossing of
North Montana street, the car jumped
the track, turned sharply and ran into a
small frame house owned by Capt. Will
liam Hill. The front end of the car
breaking a window. The top of the car
in front was torn up in the collision.
Inquiry at the company's office ELECTED
information regarding the cause of the
accident, but the names of but one person
injured had only been. obtained up to 8
o'clock. This was a Mrs. Pollinger, who
lives at ButchertoWn, north of Walker
vile. Her injuries were confined to
bruises and were moi serious The acct
dent was caused through a piece of Stag
which some miScreant must have placed
on the rail at the point where the car
jumped. The mark Of the crushed Stag is
visible on the rail and truck of the car.
The motorman stuck to his post and
held the brakes, but was thrown own
along with the conductor when the car
struck the house. Rising, they gave i'm
mediate attention to Mrs. Pollinger, who
seemed to be the worst injured of he
seven or eight passengers aboard the car.
The others scattered soon after the acct
were not collected by the conductor.
Mr.. A. H.. a of Los Angeles, who
was aboard the car at the time of the &C
cident, called at the Inter Mountain

the affair. Mr.. Sain says the accident
happened near a bridge. The car was
thrown off and over an embankment,
running into the house in themanner de-
scribed above. The talk after the acct
lent led him to think it was caused by a

Liquor Dealers After Alleged License
Evader.

After a tailor had deposited a S. bill
on the counter as a penalty for imbibing
too heartily, Judge Sullivan this MORN
ing called VI the case of MMat Lewis,
arrested on complaint of Ed. J. Robson,
a detective in the employ of the Liquor
Dealers Association. Lewis was charg-
ed with selling, bartering and disposing
of liquor and beer in less quantities. than
one quart at Nos. 16 and Is West Ga
lena street, without a license" Mr.. Lew
is put in a plea Of not guilty, n will
have a hearing next Tuesday afternoon.
William Talbot, a saloon keeper of
East Park street, claims that he struck
a fellow who had broken one of his win
dows in a scuffle with a companion near
his saloon, for which he was arrested and
consequently pleaded not guilty to the
charge of fighting booked against him.
He will have a further hearing tomorrow
morning.
Arnold Carlson, John Sullivan and
Stanley Malloy belong to a gang of ur-
chins who loiter o the Grand Opera
house on show nights and poster people
for pass checks or for money to admit
them to the gallery. This is the least of
their offenses. Growing holder, these
urchins swarm about the ticket office and
entrance doors, and the language uttered
by the hoodlums would shock even a Por-
tuguese sailor. Many complaints have
been made by patrons of the theater, but
The uulSdHCc SeeIlS Impossible OF dOato-
ment.
When they stood before Judge Sullivan
this morning. no mother or father ap-
peared to utter a plea in behalf of the
lads. The boys bore the appearance of
castaways, and their youthful faces were
stamped with the incipient marks of the
petty criminal. The Judge gave them q
severe lecture on their conduct, but no
blush of sham mantled their cheeks nor
even an attempt made to blubber, the
trick which young rascals Invariably play
in order to soften the heart of the police
magistrate.
Arnold Carlson pleaded guilty, but the
other two pleaded the reverse. Suisse
quently they changed their minds and
told the judge they We're guilty. His
honor thought 1t necessary to make an
example of the young hoodlums and see
if it would have any effect on the gang
lettering abou the opera house.. There
fore he imposed a fine of so each on each
of the a and committed them to jail
until the same is satisfied. The judge also
warned them if they appeared again in
police court, he would see tina they were
sent to the reform school.
