James J Rourke posed especially for
the Siftings staff photographer with the
above excellent result. Mr.. O'Rourke
was born in Manchester, England, in
January, IS, and at the age of seven
years came With his parents to this coun-
try, setting in Pennsylvania. In '79 the

wears Mr.. O'Rourke followed railroading,
running into Denver the greater part of
that time In 81 he came to this city
and for three years was employed at the
Newhouse tunnel. He was appointed
night-watch by Mayor A. f. Barker, and
served as such for year and a half, when
he was appointed city marshal. When
Idaho Springs became city of the sec
ond class, be was elected several times as
city marshal and has served five years in
that capacity. Mr.. O'Rourke may well
be proud of his official record. as during
his ncumbency the police records have
been exceptionally free from criminal
cases, due to the diligence of himself and
assistants. Many unostentatious acts of
charity have been performed by him, for
he is kindhearted and generous to
fault. His personal popularity is also
shown by the election returns Of previous
city elections.

METEoRIC CAREER OF KEN

Gained Fame by Leaping from Cow

on Bush, Thus Stalking
Her Claim.

An advertisement for the sale of a
valuable lot by the administrator of the
estate of Nannette Svegeburg means to
those who are in possession of the facts
that 1t is the closing chapter in the story
Of the most spectacular woman W no has
ever called Oklahoma home She is
dead now, and, strange to say, there are
no distant relatives fighting over the
wealth she left behind. A few there
have been who have laid claim to the
lands she owned, but when traced to the
end their claims have proved false, or, at
least, shadowy
Miss Nannette Daisy, her name before
her marriage, was a Kentuckian and a
beautiful woman. 1t is related that prior
to going to Oklahoma she was assistant
state librarian of Kentucky, but further
than this her antecedents are little
known. But she was a good mixer" and
wire puller" and showed other evil
dences OF having had her share in the
politics of the state which claimed her
, birth.

was on April %, 1889, that she first came

of the engine. When the train reached a
point few miles north of where Britton,

now located, she gave the preconcerted
| signal to the engineer, who slowed the
train while she leaped to the ground and
