Peculiar Footprints.
Jesup. June 27.-Harry Baker, a
young man OF previously good charac-
ter, has been arrested here for the al
legged crime of stealing $50 from DR. E.
w. Haradon. treasurer of the local
lodue OF Modern Woodmen of America.
The money was taken a week ago last
Monday night from the doctors panta-
looms pocket while the family were
sleeping. Entrance to the residence was
gained by cutting hole in the wire
netting on window frame SO that the
window could be raised.
The loss was not reported for several
days as the doctor had a cue which he
desired to work. on secretely. In the soft
earth near the window entered was a
well marked foot print of deformed
foot. A plaster OF paris cast was taken
OF this and the doctor set about himself,
In the capacity OF detective. to find some
one In town with a foot similar to his
cast. BY this means the crime was
fastened on Mr.. Baker who has some
what crooked foot.
The young man was arrested but his
trial was not had at once, he being
placed under bonds Instead OF being sent
to jail. Today the preliminary exam
ination is going on at Independence. the
prosecution being conducted by the
county attorney. Baker stoutly denies
amy connection whatever with the theft.
No money was found on his person and
the only evidence against him seems to
be the similarity OF his foot to the track
near the window. He is a brother-in-
law Of r. ". w. Dickinson. for many

quently cited as beautiful instances of
providential mechanics in building the
strongest and largest possible limb
with the least expenditure of material,
and this is largely true, and yet birds,
like ducks, which cleave the air with
the speed of an express train, have the
long bones filled with marrow or satu-
rated with fat, while the numbering
hornbill, that fairly hurtles over the
tree tops, has one of the most complete
ly pneumatic skeletons imaginable,
permeated with air to the very toe tips,

the frigate bird and turkey buzzards,

From all accounts it appears that
the officers were cool and gave the
necessary orders with the least pos
sible excitement. Captain Ward, who
was on deck when the vessel struck,
at once gave orders to the crew on
watch to hurry the passengers to the
forward deck. AT the same time the
quartermaster on duty sounded the sig

There was not much confusion until,
fifteen minutes after striking, the bow
of the vessel suddenly plunged under
water. Then there was wild rush
for the boats. Two had already been
lowered and others were getting away
as rapidly as the trained discipline of
the crew could prepare them. A thick
fog enveloped everything and as yet
no sign had come from the life saving
stations. Darkness was all about. A

He succeeded only partly, as many

of these were picked up. others were

number of over 100, were terrorized.
Some of them huddled In little groups
chattering in fear; others crouched
close to the deck, moaning pitlfully;
many jumped into the sea. Captain
Ward remained on deck until the ves-
sci had settled to such an extent that
the water was engulfing him. Then
he went upon the bridge, and from
there continued to issue his directions,
