Betsy Dowdy's Ride" by Col. r. B.
Creecy, is the article comprising the fifth
number Of the North Carolina Booklet. 1t
is a historical tradition of the Battle of
the Great Bridge and is written in Col.
Croccy's best style. 1t will whet the
appetite of all who read it for Col.
Creecy's "Grandfather's Tales" which
will soon make it's appearance.

surgery in the past ten years than in

c...,. Thief c.e,u.ss.

Welles Wiseman, the alleged
head of gang of cattle thieves,
operating in southern Colorado,
was captured in Ration, N. M,
last Monday. and turned over to
Sheriff Goddard, of Colorado
Springs, where he is now confined
in Jail. State Cattle Inspector
Mosby Lee, of this city, rendered
invaluable help in assisting Sheriff
Goddard in the capture of the
prisoner. Mr.. Lee learned that
Wiseman had been seen near
Thatcher, and Immediately noti-
fed Sheriff Barr, who telegraphed
the fact to Sheriff Goddard. The
latter came down from Colorado
Springs Monday night and left the
following morning for Thatcher,
accompanied by MIR. Lee. On
their arrival there they learned
Wiseman had gone, and immedi-
ately proceeded to Trinidad.
Wiseman had been seen in Tr,ni-
dad, but.had left town about an
hour before the arrival of the off
GERS. Officers at Raton were then
notified to be on the look out for
Wiseman, and in a few hours
Sheriff Goddard learned of his
capture. He went after his man
and took him to Colorado Springs
where he was locked up in Jail.
Sheriff Goddard had been hunt
ing Wiseman for month, having
sent out descriptions OF the man
about the middle of February,
offering reward of $as for his
capture. Mr. Lee refused to &C
cept the reward, saying that he
he would be satisfied if he simply
received the credit OF effecting the
capture.
Wiseman is about a3 years of
age, and typical COW puncher.
His ingenuity and daring have
long baffled the authorities. Two
or three OF his gang were arrested
some time ago at Ramah, where
they had committed wholesale de
predations. He is known to have
gotten away with twenty-five head
OF cattle belonging to S. Altman,
near Ramah, and also quantity
belonging to other parties.

Sorrow. Of a. Editor.

A good story is being told in
Rife on the editor of the Reveille,
published at that place. He went,
on recent evening, to report q
party at home recently blessed
with a new baby. He met the
hostess at the door, and after the
usual salutations, asked after the
baby's health. The lady, who
was quite deaf, and suffering from
the grip, thought he was asking
about her cold. and answered that,
although she usually had one every
other winter, this one was the
worst she had ever had; kept her
awake nights a good deal, and at
hrst confined her to her bed.
Then, noticing that the newspaper
man was getting nervous. she said

cessity of the occasion and volunteered to
borrow waistcoat for the singer After
several vain attempts to find a suitable
garment, one was borrowed from a guest
in a nearby hotel
But it was cut high in front, q
The owner was willing to sacrifice his
garment, and some ladies went to work in
the interest of art with scissors and pins
to make over the waistcoat into one that
was cut properly for evening year With
the improviSed article held in place by pins
stuck-most of the time-into the shirt
bosom and the lining Of his coat Mr. Bis

secret could not understand why the singer
occasionally looked Ill at ease in singing
