POLICE COURT DoINGs.
Man Charged With Stealing $19 Dis
 charged by Judge Burpee.


 charged by Judge Burpee
 There was considerable fun in Judge Burpee's court this morning. John Flynn was charged with stealing $19 from his roommate, Maurice Harmon, on the night of May 5. Flynn is Il young fellow whereas his accuser is well along in years. He is said to be quite wit. To use his own words there was $27 in his trunk until he took sS out to pay his landlady. From that time until the morning of the 9th he did not look at the contents of his trunk. He had some small change in his trousers pocket and this he put in his working trousers on Sunday night, May 4. He was aroused during the night by q noise and he saw Flynn transferring the change mentioned to his own pockets, yet he did not speak to him. Flynn was not in the room next morning when complainant awoke and it then occurred to him to see his trunk. Then he saw that the fastenings had been tempered with so that the lid could not be raised. He complained to the landlady that Flynn had taken his money and got drunk on it.
 Would Flynn drink?' asked Judge Lowe. This question was below the dignity of the witness to answer. Would he drink" he said contempt ously, would q trout swim in fresh water:' He complained next to pros ecutor Durant and he sent him to De tectiye Dodds and Detective Doddis sent him to Chief Egan and they told him nothing could be done without q warrant. Harmon is confident that if q warrant had been issued then he would have recovered some of his mon ey at all events. Then he began to tell long and, rambling story whereat Judge Lowe reminded him that his salvation was in danger
 Look out for yourself Judge Lowe, ' said the witness "and you'll have enough to do, probably more than you can take care of.'' Then Judge Lowe tried to show that witness was under the influence of drink, but witness con- tended he had had only flew drops'' that he could not stand any more. Judge Lowe tried to show lthat he could stand more but witness was ob- durate that "a couple of drops'' was his capacity.
 Finally, last evening, witness land lady tried to effect a settlement with il1m and this more than anything else convinced him that Flynn was guilty. Flynn told his story. It was to the e1Iect that he has not worked in three weeks on account of Hines and that he did not take Harmons money. He was discharged without prejudice to another complaint if such may be brought against him.
 Patrick Mooney was charged with intoxication. As year has passed since his last appearance in court sen tence was suspended.
 4 case against Agnes Miller for theft or ring from her friend Kettle still son, was settled for S25.

INDEFINITELY ADJOURNED.
The Chipman Will Case Has Been Laid
 Away for the Present.

The hearing on the Chipman will case has been indefinitely adjourned The widows side is now before Judge Huntingdon One or two of the i'm portant witnesses yesterday was Lena yeill. who has been q servant in the Chfpman home for some years. She knocked to filters the story told by Timothy Chipman about testatof's $ dancing and singing. Miss Veill said she was engaged by Mrs Chipman but was always paid by MT Chipman and she never got more nor less than her wages. If, during the month she had drawn. upon her wages, MT Chipman never failed to remember it. Further more she said that he showed every indication of having an acute mind and eye for his surroundings particularly in business affairs his mind was ever on the alert. She had never seen the old man climb out or in windows or be- have himself in any irregular way, and she was positive that during the years she had been in the ohuse she had never seen or heard him dancing or singing and waving his arms to the accompaniment Cooper dang, Coop CT dang" Timothy Chipman created sensation in court one morning by leaving the witness stand and giv- ing an illustration of how the old man used to sing and dance and consider himself a young man again. The ex- animation closed for the present with the presentation of number of deeds. pr Brown who was Mir Chipman's family physician, is at present out of town and upon his return the hearing will be resumed Until her own side of the controversy began, the widow did not seem to pay much attention to the proceedings. She would sit all day in reclining position in a chair near her senior counsel, Mir Williams, but when the defense began Wednesday afternoon she assumed an erect atti- tude. Her eyes are directed on every witness and she seems to see the words l leaving his or her mouth. Passing emotions are expressed on her fair face which no longer wears the troubled look that was always upon it during the hearing of the evidence for the con testants. It is reported that rather than settle with any of the heirs she will spend every penny of the large estate.

Carson, we may rest for the remain
der of our lives"
At night time they chose the base
OF a beetling crag, where the rocks
offered some protection from the chill
wind, and there. huddled together for
warmth, they enjoyed a few hours
sleep.
Before dayhresk, however. they
were up and on their way once more.
They had seen no signs OF pursuers.
and Jefferson Hope began TO think
that they were fairly out OF the reach
Of the terrible organization whose en-.
nifty they had incurred.
He little knew how far that iron
grasp could reach, or how soon Il
was to close upon them and crush
them.
About the middle Of the second day
OF their flight their scanty store OF
provisions began to run out.
This gave the hunter little uneas.
mess, however, for there was game
to be had among the mountains. and
he had frequently before had to de-
pend upon his rifle for the needs OF
life.
Choosing a sheltered nook. he piled
together few dry branches and
made a blazing fire. at which his
companions might warm themselves,
for they were now nearly Ave thous-
and feet above the sea-level, and the
air was bitter and keen.
Having tethered the horses and
bid Lucy adieu, he threw his gun over
his shoulder and set out In search
of whatever chance might throw In
his way.
Looking back he saw the old man
and the young girl crouching over
the blazing fire. while the three AMI.
mails stood motionless In the back
ground. Then the intervening rocks
hid them from his view.
He walked for couple of miles
through one ravine after another
without success, though from the
marks upon the bark of the trees.
and other indications, he judged that
there were numerous bears in the vi
cinity.
At last, after two or three hours
fruitless search. he was thinking OF
turning back in despair, when cast
ing his eyes upward he saw sight
which sent q thrill of pleasure
through his heart.
On the edge of iutting pinnacle,
three or four hundred feet above him,
there stood creature somewhat re-
sembllng sheep In appearance, but
armed with pair of gigantic horns.
The big-horn-for so II Is called
was acting, probably, as a guardian
over a flock which were invisible to
the hunter; but fortunately 1t was
heading in the opposite direction, and
had not perceived him.
Lying on his back, he rested his
rife upon a rock and took long and
steady aim before drawing the trig-
ger.
The animal sprang into the air.
tottered for a moment upon the edge
Of the precipice, aud then came
crashing down into the valley be-
meath.
TIE creature was too unwieldy to
lift, so the hunter contented himself
with cutting away one haunch and
part of the flank.
With this trophy over his shoulder,
he hastened to retrace his steps, for
the evening was already drawing In.
He had hardly started. however. be-
fore he realized the difficulty which
faced him.

warmth, but the rays from the electric
lights, which shone through the win.

cold without.
Hours passed; the frosty air became
more biting and crowds Of gay shop
pers passed without a glance at the ap-

deserted, when, suddenly, without

Tales Of Folklore May Have Been
Founded on Pygmies of Africa.
1t Is just possible that this type Of
pygmy negro which survives to-day In
the recesses of inner Africa may even
have overspread Europe In remote
times. II 1t did, then the conclusion il
irresistible that 1t gave rise to most
Of the myths and beliefs connected
with gnomes, kobolds and fairies.
The demeanor and actions Of the lit
tie Kongo dwarfs at the present day
remind one over and over again Of the
traits attributed to the brownies and
goblins Of our fairy stories. Their re-
markable power of becoming invisible
by adrolt hiding In herbage and behind
rocks, their probable habits in sterile
or onen countries OF making their
homes In holes and caverns, their mis-.
chievousness and prankish good ma
ture, all seem to suggest that 1t was
some race like this which inspired most
of the stories OF Teuton and Celt re-
garding a dwarflsh people of quasi
supernatural attributes.
The dwarfs Of the Kongo forest can
be good or bad neighbors to the big
black people. according to the treat
ment they receive. If their selfish
depredations on the banana groves or
their occasional thefts of tobacco or
maize are condoned, or even II they
are conciliated by small gifts of such

Johnston in McClure's, that the dwarfs
will occasionally steal their children
and put in their places pygmy babies
of ape-like appearance-changelings, in
fact-bringing up the children they
have stolen in the dwarf tribe. These
collections Of pygmies, which one can
scarcely call tribes, certainly exhibit
from time to time individuals Of ordl-

strongly resembling those of the pyg.
