TABLES TURNED
ON Gun THIEF
George IngersOll Tries to
Sell a Stolen Weapon
and Meets With Surprise
OFFERS 1T TO OWNER
Harry StrOck Lends the
Article to Charles Calson
and Third Man Steals 1t

George W. Ingersoll was the victim
Of peculiar circumstances yesterday
which landed him In the City Prison
on a charge OF petty larceny. After
stealing a shotgun he was uncon-
sciously directed back to the owner
OF the firearm for the purpose OF max
ing a sale, where a policeman took him
in charge. The story Of the theft and
effort to realize on the stolen prop
erty is interesting.
Early yesterday afternoon Charles
Calson Of 50 Vermont street resolved
to go hunting to-day. He had no gun,
but remembered that his friend, Harry
Strock, a salOOn-keeper at $50 Fourth
street had one. When Calson asked
for the loan Of the firearm Strock
readily complied and Calson started
on with the weapon in the direction
OF his home. On the way he was ac-
costed by Inersoll. who asked permis-
sion to relieve Calson OF the weight
Of the gun. Calson consented, but
when he reached his gate he observed
that Ingersoll and the gun were dis
appearing in an opposite direction.
Unable to capture the thief. Calson
reported the matter to the police.
Last night Ingersou took the gun
to saloonman at the corner OF Third
and Townsend streets and offered II
for sale. This saloonman was not a
sportsman and suggested that a visit
be made to his friend Harry Strock
on Fourth street, where the weapon
might be disposed OF. When Inger-
soil arrived at Strock's place the pro-
prietor recognized his property and
called in Policeman Frank Fontana-
Calson was then sent for and the
charge of petty larceny made.

terday from a field Of six other start
ers Besides the 1886 which went to the
first horse from the $1,000 stake, the
owners of Fossil, Parker & Thwaites,
received the magnificent silver cup
presented by the Family Club Of this
city.
The stable of Walter Jennings re-
ceived full representation, for that
owner started three in the race-Gold
Money, carrying top weight, 116, Vesu-
Wan and Arcade. The entry was, Of
course, favorite at odds Of to 2. Fos-
sill, allotted 113 pounds, did not appear
TO be in great demand, for his odds re-
ceded from to to 1. Military Man
and Bombardier, each quoted at is to
around post time, were accorded
steady support.
There is little to describe about the
race. Away fifth from the barrier,
Knapp took Fossil out in front, and
though brought to hard drive as the
wire was approached by Helgesen on
Military Man, won by a neck.
Arcade easily disposed of Bombardier
for the small end of the purse. Vesu-
vian the runner-up for a long way,
finally had to fall back. Gold Money,
piloted by Dominick and the main reli-
ance Of the Jennings stable, got cut off
early and was not a factor in the rum
ming thereafter.

The Beaver.

From Stories of Woods and Fields, by Ehzapeth V.
Brown
Tho HEAVIER is the master builder among
tie animals, and his winter home Is the pest
on the stream, although the hotel muskrat
is a very fine stopping place when days are
cold, and food Is scarce
Do you see the beavers chest or TOOLS! he
never mislays one of them. His strong teeth
chisels are always in his mouth, ready to
gnaw anything, from a twig to tree trunk;
his sharp claw-shovels are always in place
for digging; while his broad fiat tail is
convenient for pounding down sticks and
twigs in building his dam and lodge
His tail serves also as rudder' when he
swims.
Perhaps because the skins of some of his
ancestors sold at one time for sixteen dol
lars apiece, the beaver feels that he can
afford two homes-a summer as well as a
winter one.
The spring and early summer are spent on
land. in a nest dug out of the bank. high
enough above the water to prevent 1t from
being flooded when the spring freshets
come. But in August the entire family
takes to water life again.
Beaver town is then busy place. If the
stream in which the family has decided to
build is not deep enough to prevent freez-
ing in the winter, dam has to be made.
Usually many beavers live in the same
stream and work together in building the
dam; but each family lives in its own sep
arate lodge or hut.
The beavers which go for timber some
times select trees five or six inches thick.
With no other tools than their strong teeth,
they gnaw and cut deep. wedge-shaped
gashes, first on one side of the tree, then
on the other until 1t falls.
Cutting it to suit their uses, they carry
the pieces, between their fore-paws and
chins to the stream and float them down
to the place where the dam is to be built.
The huts, which are dome-shaped and
often four or five feet high, are made of
stones, sticks and mud firmly packed to-
gether by pounding strokes of the strong
fiat tails.
When the mud and water freeze. the walls
become strong. Vegetables. roots of water
plants, bark of poplar and other trees,
gathered during the summer. are stored in
the hut; and the family is safely housed for
the winter, with no fear of any one except
