JAMES AND BOYLE HAD
NO CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE.

Joseph Ii. James. the detective who re-
ceived the first clew TO the presence of
the robbers. and his partner. Detective
Edward P. Boyle, Of Kansas City, the
other two officers who participated in the
raid, did not engage in the deadly battle.
Vaughn was arrested at the corner OF
Fourteenth and Pine streets just previous
to the shooting. and after being searched
by Detectives Dwyer and James, was left
in charge of the latter. Boyle had not
time to engage in the fight. as being the
fourth up the steps. the battle had ended
almost by the tine he reached the door to
Roses bedroom, and De;ecti5e Shea fell
back with the exclamation: I'm shot"
The Coroner's inquest into the deaths of
the two detectives and Rosenaur. yester-
day morning. resulted in a verdict that
Shea and Dwyer died from wounds and
hemorrhages caused by leaden bullets
fired from a postol in the hand of Morris
while the latter was resisting arrest.
Rosenaur, 1t was found. died almost in
stantly from bullet wounds caused by De-
tective Dwyer. The verdict in each case
was homicide.
Few Coroner cases have caused the
widespread interest that the deaths OF
the two detectives and the robber did.
and the room was well filled.
The only two witnesses of the shooting
able to attend-Detectives James and
Boyle-told Of the tragedy as far as they
knew. and several minor witnesses told
Of the scenes after the battle.
In evidence against the robbers were five
large revolvers found in the room after
the shooting, which belonged TO R~osenaur.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Too many people have a habit of 60
ing with their bristles up.
It is seldom one hears an interesting
lie, though the. people surely get
enough practice.
The first question asked in every
home by every member of the family
returning from an absence on the
streets is where's mother?"
There are two complaints which can
usually be made of every woman: She
has too much patience with her sons
and not enough with their father.
Talk about man fussing about the
family bills! You should hear a coun-
trywoman who makes butter talk to
her folks when they dip into her
cream.
1t is a good thing to keep at least one
building in the course of erection in q

to go and find fault on a Sunday, out
side of the regular churchgoing.-Atch-

A TA-Er Of BONANZA DAYS.
How n Chance Remark of James
Flood Ruined His Gardener. W

HOW n Chance Remark of James
Flood Ruined His Gardener. W
In the old days of excitement when
mining stocks were on the jump and
men became millionaires over one days
| dabbling an incident occurred at the
country residence Of James G. Flood in
Menlo when fairly well to do farmer
found himself without home in the
short period Of one week. The mans
name was Hank, and, being Il first
class gardener, he READILY found EN-.
ployment about the residence of the
| wealthy owners of mansions. In this
way he was employed at the Flood
residence. Hank was lettering about
| the garden one Saturday evening as
the proprietor. in company with Wis.,
itor, was looking over the stock.
Mr.. Flood, who had just stepped out
| of the hog corral, casually remarked to
his friend that he would be willing to
make a bet that "Con would go up to
300 before Christmas" Hank con-
! strued "Con" to mean Consolidated
Virginia, and, taking the tip which he
| thought would make him millionaire,
he disposed Of his holdings of 25O acres
of fine land, his stock and, in brief,
! everything he had on earth except his
| wife and four bright little Hanks. The
proceeds he invested in Consolidated
Virginia stock, which was then selling
at $50 share. ~
Christmas came, but instead Of "Con''
going up to $500 it fell to $25. The
| man was q pauper. In lamenting his
loss he incidentally mentioned to q
friend of Flood how he lost his all.
Flood, who was generous to a fault,
sent for Hank and had him repeat his
story. When he learned Of his chance
remark about 'Con going up to 300
before Christmas he fairly shook with
laughter and explained what it meant.
1t was in reference to the gift Of a
young SOW, made a present to him by
Con o Connor, who in the fun of the
thing had called the pig Con. The bet
alluded to the sow's increasing in
weight to 300 pounds before Christmas
and not to Con Virginia. So,
Having enjoyed the joke and after
joshing Hank, the noble hearted Flood
bought back the ranch for Hank and
recompensed him, for all his losses.
The originality of the joke and the
knowledge of the, penalty paid by an
eavesdropper were Floods reward
