ana with an answering cry he started in the
direction from which the boy came with the
other men and women at his heels.
Finding himself thus suddenly at liberty
Jimmy also began running around the block

him.

red-hafred boy had saved him from his foes
But after going through tho adventure he
was particularly anxious to reach the end Of
his journey without losing his chance to
wish. He stood looking at the red-haired
boy In perplexity until suddenly thought
occurred to him. He beckoned mysteriouslv
and pointed Ill the direction Of the Barclows'
house.
The red-haired boy looked at him IN

vent dogs from running over the beds and
destroying the costly flowers. He is armed
with a large club, which be hurls at any
dog he sees, and generally with such skill
that the animal goes OF limping and howl

The other day young dog, of no particu-
lar breed, but as bold as lion, determined
to punish the Waterman for his misdeeds,
and as a first step he went boldly into the
park and squatted on beautiful flower
bed. right under the nose Of the Waterman.
In the twinkling of an eye the club was
raised, and down it came, but instead Of
hitting the dog it smashed a rose tree laden
with blossoms, and, worse still, no sooner
was it on the ground than the dog grippe1

''There's something wrong" says the
witch, puzzled like. ''Wait minute" And
she up and put forth charm that changed
the whole day to night all over the world,
and then she called forth horrible giant
whom she commanded to throw Terence
over the edge Of the Other End. But az
Terence could see as we'll in the dark as BY

lost her power for evil, and she did willingly
what Terence told her to, the which was to

THEY ARE PURSUED.
Bandits Leave a Trail Of Blood Alono
the New Railroad.

the New Railroad.
A special dispatch to the Denver
News. from Captain, N. NJ. under date
of February z. says:
Sheriff Gonzales and posse. who
started out to capture the gang of
bandits who stopped at the Block
ranch a few days ago and secured
fresh mounts at pistols point. returned
empty handed today after an exciting
chase of owe thirty-six hours.
After leaving the Block ranch the
~despeTadoes started in the direction
of the Captain mountains which. ow-
ing to their extreme roughness and
impenetrability. have always been a
favorite hiding place for such charac-
tiers. The sheriff pushed forward as
fast as possible. His party had not
proceeded very far. however. before
they came upon Sheriff Higgins. of
Chavez county and six deputies. who
were searching for the same band.
Thus reinforced, the pursuing party
urged their horses on and were at one
time close upon the fugitives. The
bandits evidently realized that they
would fall into the hands of their pur-
suers unless something was done and,
undoubtedly at a prearranged signal,
the entire gang separated and each
man took a different direction. This
made further pursuit extremely diff
cult and after a day spent in fruitless
efforts to continue the chase the pur-
suing party turned back.
A rumor got afloat today which
caused great CONSERVATION among the
Off cials in charge of the jail at Lin
coin. 1t was to the effect that these
men were coming towards Lincoln for
the purpose of l~lOerating a a by the
name of Woods. who is confined in the
jail charged with the burning of the
Copeland ranch in the eastern part of
the county about two months ago and
killing the storekeeper and an I'M
known man who was stopping there
over night. Considerable color was
given to this report by the fact that
the desperadoes had stopped over
night at the Woods house, the night
before. confiscating property at the
Block ranch, and thai part of the gang
at least are from Oklahoma territory,
which was the former home of Woods.
Up to this afternoon no such an at
tempt has been made, The janl is
heavily guarded.
This Is the worst gang of cutthroats
that ever operated in the southwest
and is, without doubt. the same which
came through Puerto de Luna, in the
Pecos valley, about a week ago and
robbed a store, killing two men and a
boy WHO were in the building at the
time. They then robbed the pay car
and bank at Santa Rosa. Their path
is strewn with blood all the way from
Oklahoma territory, where about three
weeks ago they were implicated in a
robbery and double killing.
The chase will be continued until
they are either captured or run out of
the country.

CRAZY TOWN.

The extent to which human creduli.
ty can go is ~strikingly illustrated by
the occurrences reported from Cedar
vile, N. j., where a considerable por-
ton of the population, after listening
to ~revivalists, has been seized with a
sudden religious frenzy. Some attend
the meetings and become so ecstatic
that they fall to the floor and their
bodies become rigid. Some are at
home waiting for the end of the world
to come. Some roam the town declar-
ing that they have been anointed as
divine healers, while others pretend
to be members of the divine trinity.
The mar who started all the excite
ment is in the insane asylum, two or
three of his followers also have gone
there, and to save the rest Of the hys-
tcrical crowd from the same fate the
few people left in the town who nave
retained their senses are taking de-
c.sive action to put an end to the crazy
business.
