Capturinq Zebras.

Zebras are captured in German East
Africa by the natives who surround
them. When they discover a herd
quietly grazing they inclose it on ev-
cry side. the men standing about 100
or 200 yards away from each other. in
an immense circle. probably 10 or a
dozen miles in circumference. These
men have each a stick. To which is
attached a piece of cloth or flag They
lutter these sticks in the breeze and
drive the animals into a kind of corral
At a recent drive fully 400 Zebras were
surrounded. besides number of an
telopos. some OF the latter being OF
an entirely new variety. As the cor
val was not big enough. the larger
part of these animals were allowed 10

of him. ! want 10 say. too, that no

that makes crooks seek shelter
'Peg-leg' was in Detroit few
months ago. and. as was his custom
he failed TO see me. His speciality has
been TO work among crooks, and at his
home in Springfield, O.. he has a real

own admissions. has been to seek out
crooks. gold brick men and green
goods men in particular-and threaten

at one of our first-class hotels. He
found that the crook owned the swell
dwelling. and he went to him and said
that $4,000 would look pretty good to
him. The crook. SO Norris afterward
told me. paid him the money, giving
hun $4,000 in cash at the house Later
lie sold the property for fear that the
authorities would get next to him, and
skipped.
This settling business is what
Norris got rich on. think that he

has been trying to settle Norris is
a clever man. He writes the finest

Peg-leg' makes mistakes some
times. though. Once he hurried into
my Office and pointed out two noted
crooks who were standing across the
street. When I assured Norris that
h. had spotted two OF the detectives
oil my staff he looked provoked for a
minute and then laughed heartily

New Haven, Friday.-John Denmo7e. who drives an ice cream cart. was before Justice Clarke today because he mixed the warmth of love with the chill of ice cream. Mrs. Mary A. Benjamin, of No IS Pavilion street. looking charming in her new spring bonnet and dress, was the cause and the victim of his r.se in temperature. and she appeared as complainant against him.
 Why, Judge, he wanted to hug me when he was peddling ice cream!" said the young matron indignantly. He called for an ice cream tub, and then ashed for hug. Then the hor- rid man took one without my permis- sion. And he hugged me so hard then he woke up the baby and the baby began to cry. Then he told me not to tell my husband. and went on to peddle ice cream in the neighbor- hood" ?
 Do you mena to say. young man, that you so far forgot your employers interests and your wife and children sternely.

North Coast Limited

THE MUCH WANTED ROBBERS HAVE, FROM ALL ACCOUNTS, SUCCEEDED IN MAKING
 THEIR GETAWAY.

Missoula. Mont, Friday-With a re- ward of s2,300 hanging over each of the bandits engaged in holding up and dynamiting the Northern Coast Limit ed train on the Northern Pacific last night. and with a number of posses in what is believed to be close pur- suit, not word has come at II o'clock tonight 10 indicate the capture of any member of the gang. With the com ing of darkness the chances of any of the posses getting in touch with the robbers were greatly diminished, and If the latter continue their flight by night it is almost certain they will reach friendly shelter before being Oyertaken.
 The opinion grows that the robbers have accomplices who will help them in covering their tracks, and that by morning they will have reached a pre- viously prepared retreat sufficiently safe to defy further pursuit.
