Two Mysteries on One Bike.

There is a New York family which
has a country place in Westminster coun-
ty. In tine family are two young
women who Gin town. at any rate) are
extremely digniiied and extremely con
ventional, says the N. Y. Tribune.
There is also a brother who became in
fatuated with the idea that it would be
good exercise for him to ride a bicycle.
On q recent moolight evening, when the
brother was not at home, the two sisters
stole quietly out to the barn and brought
I forth the bicycle They were arrayed
! in strange and weird costumes which
they improvised for the occasion. They
wheeled the machine" over to the ten
mis- court and then. for the benefit of the
sleepless stars and the wide-awake moon,
gave an exhibition of attempted bicycle
riding which would make the fortune of
roof-garden manager. The result of
that little performance, not counting in
the bicycle, may be summarized as fol-
lows: One wrecked tennis net, two
broken poles, twenty-five square yards
of ruined turf, crushed and broken
shrubbery in large quantities, one
twisted ankle, one knee-cap strained,
one knee-cap bruised, two arms stiffen-
ed, and seventeen separate and distinct
black-and-blue spots.
alt's funny" says the girls, confden-
italy, that a bicycle goes backward
when you want it to 60 ahead, and can
run into two dozen things at enc time"
what | can't understand" says the
brother to the whole family, SIS how a
load OF brick fell on my bicycle when it
was locked up in the barn.
The girls have nothing to say to this,
and when their brother is in their pres
ence they heroically walk without limp
ing.

FooKS MURDER CASE.
Insists He Killed Stoneking-Wants
to Tell Why.

Chandler. o. T., April 1.-THE Publicist
tells Of the Fooks murder case in the
district court Saturday as follows:
The grand jury at the opening Of the
district court this morning returned an
indictment against Matthew Fooks for
the killing of Price Stoneking yesterday.
AS soon as the case was properly dock
etei Fooks was arraigned. He listened
carefully to the reading of the indictment
and VIII. n asked if he had employed coun-
sci. answered no; that he had nothing
to emplc. one with and didn't know that
he needed one; he thought he could at
tend TO his own case.
The court told him that he would be
given twenty-four hours in which to en-
ter plea, when Fooks said: Il am ready
to plead now, but not to the Indictment
as it is. If they will take that word
murder out cf it I'll plead and save the
county expense. / killed the man and
meant t. kill him. If hadn't Iowouldnt
have bea+ his brains out after l shot
hirG. but il wasn't murder"
eli was considerably worked up and
persisted in wanting to talk about the
crome-said he only wanted an hour to
tclI why IC tHdl StOHe-
king had lied to him, and when a man
lied he had no right to live. He empha-
sized his words by pounding the floor
with his crutch. and the court had forbid
him talking any further on the subject
or making any demonstrations.
Ihe court made the order that Fooks
be permitted to defend as a poor person
and then asked Fooks IL he had any
choice of counsel. Fooks answered that
he would like to have Hoffman & Embry,
but the court told him that only one
would be assigned to him, and he then
selected Mr.. Embry.
When the court asked Mr.. Embry IL
he would accept the defense. Mr. Embry
asked for time to consider the matter and
said he would see the court and explain
to him.
The order was then made that Fooks
plead in twenty-four hours and the court
informed him that he would send him
word as to counsel assigned, and advised
him to submit his defense entirely to the
judgment of counsel assigned to him
The prisoner will probably be brought
into court again Monday morning to en- !
ter his plea
