The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1903-09-24

struck at him with the butt of a heavy
riding whip; but it was caught and
wrenched from his hand. Laying hold,
then, as q final resource, on one of his
pistols, he fired at the fellow, who drop
ped, with smothered curse, to the earth;
while his companion, who mad been hold
ing the bit of the rearing, trembling
steed, let go and sprang, in his turn, upon
the count; but Louis, with heavy blow
from the discharged pistol, felled him
also to the ground, to keep company with
his companion. Then, giving Roland the
rein again, he galloped on. A volley of
shots was fired after him, but he was
unhurt, though two or three whistled past
his ears. .
1t was evident that the number of his
assailants had been exhausted, for still
he was neither met nor followed; there
fore, he slackened his horses speed to
give him breathing space, and also to
consider, on his own part, which direc-
ton he must pursue, for the field or COM
mon upon which he found himself might
take him in any direction other than the
| one desired. Upon elaboration, he re-
| solved to go straight onward from the
wood path, and he struck across the field,
| his way still illumined by the electric
| flashes that played over the black sky.
| The rain was falling faster and more vio-
| lently, when suddenly a light cleaned
| out upon the blackness around it, at some
distance ahead, and remembering that a
small cottage, inhabited, when he was in
this district last, if he remembered right,
| by some quiet peasants of the neighbor-
| hood, stood somewhere near his present
| position, he concluded that this must be
| it. Putting the spurs to his beast again.
therefore, he pressed on, and in a few
moments reached its friendly shelter, just
as the rain came pouring down in abso-
lutte torrents.
Fastening Roland in. an old shed that
adjoined this cottage at one end, Louis
knocked on the door with the handle OF
his whip. The next moment it was open
ed wide, and before him, shading her eyes
with her hand, with her pretty and petite
figure clearly defined against the glow
ing background of well-lighted apart.
ment beyond, stood a young girl, evident
ly not more than sixteen years of age
There was an earnest smile on her face
and warm welcome for some one, evi
IDENTIFY, upon her lips; but the beautiful
features changed their sweet, expectant
look to one of startled surprise as the
light from the apartment behind shont
upon the strange face of our young hero
"Your pardon, mademoiselle," sait
Louis; "but the storm has overtaken me
and I am forced to ask for shelter here
little while until its present violenc'
abates."

RUFUS YOUNG
A Man Who Passed His Life in Steal
ing Horses.

ing Horses.
The career of Rufus Young, the horse
thief who died at the Rutland coun-
ty jail yesterday, says the Rutland
Herald, Is typical enough TO be more
than a curiosity. 1t is no sporadic
case. Years ago In New York State
he ran a hotel; but this was only his
avocation. His vocation was that of
horse thief. His hotel was only q
side issue. He was the leader of a
gang of men who picked up other peo-
pies horses and sold them. 1t could
hardly be said that Young had pas
sion for making money. He never
made any amount of money at stealing
horses, and he spent at least thirty
two years of his life In prison as a
penalty for plying his trade. He SIM
ply had propensity for taking horses
wherever found. He probably never
tried to break into a jewelry store
nor a bank, nor was he ever known
to hold up a lonely traveller or to
adroitly "touch a mans leather for his
money" Young was after horses, and
he wanted to sell them, too, the mo-
ment he captured one. He finished a
twenty-five year term In prison less
than two months ago, and probably
half a dozen times between that and
his death he broke into barns in search
Of horses.
We would say that Young was men,
tally sick. We do not think that he was
amenable to religious instruction. SO
far as horses are concerned, he had
no sense of right and wrong. He was
beyond the influence Of prayer or NOR
al tuition. He needed doctor rather
than a minister. Why should he not
have been placed In a hospital for In
curables rather than in a prison
Scientists tell us that the criminal i'm
pulse runs in families. Youngs dis
ease, If we may so term 1t, may have
been a case of atavism, revival or
recrudescence Of a criminal DISPOSE
ton that could be traced back to his
ancestors. In that event the person to
punish would be Young's great-grand-
father perhaps, and not him. He need
ed medical treatment and care. We
wonder whether the world will so de-
velop in wisdom on these matters that
the insane criminals will be eventually
separated from the vicious and placed
where they cannot harm the commu-
nifty.

and that i may be at hand when you need
warning again. Good night"
Louis continued his way, with strangely
mixed feelings of wonder at what had
just occurred, together with some degree
of apprehension and curiosity as to the
danger which menaced him. Nothing in
the shape of danger appeared, and for,
perhaps, the space of fifteen minutes,
he was kept in suspense. But, sudden
ly, branch above his head was bent and
cracked sharply, and while Roland, af-
frighted reared violently, and almost I'M
seated his rider, the lightning flashed
again and the figure of a man swung
lightly down from the branch to the path
way. A strong hand seized Roland's bri-
die; rough voice uttered Stand! a
pistol was pointed at the counts head.
What do you require?" asked Louis,
briefly and sternly.
Whatever money you carry about you.
Give it to me, and be quick about it!'
said the voice.
"You are mistaken, my man." uttered
Louis, quietly, while one blow from his
slight but powerful arm struck aside the
uplifted weapon, and second stretched
the ruffian senseless among the bushes
by the path. With terrified snort, as
the count gave him the spur, Roland gal
loped forward, but he had scarcely COW
cred dozen rods along before two more
men sprang out into the way.
Roland, scared by their sudden appear
ance, shrank and reared, and while one
of the villains seized bride, and brought
the beast to his feet again, the other
leaped upon the young count, and, with
a powerful grasp, almost drew him from
the saddle, at the same time firing pis-
toll close to his ear. BY miracle or chance,
the aim missed. Louis jerked his arm
from the grasp of his assailant, and

SENATOR PLUMB'S COURAGE.
The Smallpox Marks in the Kansan's
Face Were a Badge of Honor.

The Smallpox Marks in the Kansan's
Face Were "A Badge of Honor.
G. R. Snyder, who is writing his
tory of Kansas, gives chapter to Sen
ator Preston B. Plumb, and quotes Jo-
seph Bratton, one of the Usage pio-
neers, as saying:
81 fought and licked man once who
said that Plumb was a coward. knew
that he was no coward from Bur
lingame instance with which l was
familiar. Along about the spring Of
1860, when we were running the hotel,
and the stage from Lawrence to EN-
poria stopped at our place for meals,
Preston B. Plumb was on it one night,
and during supper heard talk Of small
pox having broken out here A man
stopping with l. B. Titus came down
with the disease, and as soon as Ii
was known what 1t was he was car
ried off half mile up on the hill TO
an empty hut and left there alone to
die.
mo one being willing to nurse him
Plumb, hearing Of the case, resolved
to stop off and go and look after the
man, even at the risk of his own life
He got George BrattOn to fix up bas-
ket of toast and eatables, take his
light and roll of blankets, and show
him to the sick man. Mr.. Bratton did
so, going near enough to help Plumb
all he could. Plumb found out the
sick mans condition, and cared fol
him that night. The next morning
learning that Abel Policy had once had
the smallpox, he got him to admit the
sick man to his cabin, because it was
more comfortable. They two cared fol
the man the best they knew how until
he died.
when all was over Plumb cleaned
up, changed his clothes, and continued
his journey on to Emporia, only to be
taken down with the dreadful disease
himself and to be carried off to one
side and undergo the forced absence
Of friends care; and at last, wher
he was over the disease, to be branded
with the marks the balance Of his life
That was true courage"

The Sea Lawyers Speech.

Here is one of the humOrs OF the war:
When the cruiser Topeka was brought
across the ocean her officers had a mer-
nv time with the British crew. The
vessel was built for Portugal, and her
name, when our government purchased
her, was the Diogenes. On the third
day out from Liverpool her officers de-
cided to mount few guns, but when
the order was issued there was loud
grumbling among the crew. Having
noticed the prevailing mutinous spirit,
the lieutenant In command had the
troublesome men called before him and
asked what was wrong. The leading
sea lawyer of the party stepped for
ward and made the following brief and
pithy speech; when we shipped on
this ere vessel, sir she was in Brit
ish yard, an we thort she was British
from stem to stern. But the anchor
no more'n h'isted an we're no more'n
under way an We calls 'er the Diogno-
ses an runs hup the Brayzilian flag.
That alone were suspicious. Yves two
days out an We runs hup the American
flag an calls 'er the Tapioca. We think
ye're nothin' but irate."-Kansas

UTAH LAKE PUMPS
ARE NOT WORKING.
As a Result Farmers May Not
Get What Water They Are
Entitled To.
MACKAICHT SAYS THEY WILL.
Statement of Supt, Hines as to the
Amount Of Water Used Daily
Ia Salt Lake,

Land and Water Commissioner Mac
knight received word from one OF his
deputies this morning that the pumps
at the Utah lake pumping plant We're
out Of order and they were compelled to
stop pumping. 1t may be two days
or IL may be a week before the pumps
will be in shape to resume operations
as the trouble Is OF rather a serious
nature. In the meantime every effort
Is being made TO furnish the farmers
with the water to which they are en-
titled out OF the city canal and Mr..
MacKnight stated that he had no fear
but that sufficient water can be OBJ
tanned to fill the contract and no trou-
bic Is expected on that account.
According to the statement of Supt.
of Waterworks Hines the citizens Of
this city are receiving and consuming
l,590,6j1 gallons of water per day more
than they received at this time last
year. The flow of Parley's creek yes
terday was 4766,66S gallons; City creek,
65S3,6S0 gallons; Emigration creek,
100000 gallons. making n total OF
12250,SG6 gallons per day flowing into
the clty's mains This is an average
Of 22O gallons per day for each person
In the city.
notwithstanding the fact that the
citizens are receiving 100000 gallons
more per day than they did last year,
stlll there is not enough water to meet
the demand and the reservoir IL so
low that Supt Hines will take of all
the street sprinklers tomorrow In order
to allow the reservoir TO flll up.
