"BAT" THE TERRIBLE
Is tanned BY A GIRL
INSURANCE POLICY CAUSES THE
TROUBLE
Deputy Marshal Masterson, a Gun
Fighter From the West, Goes to
Office to Kick, but Meets His
Waterloo In a Young Woman

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The great
and only Bat Masterson has taken
water-and from girl! Alackaday!
No one in the west will believe 1t,
for from the Cimarron country to Sas-
katchewan Bat is known as a tanner of
wild men who has never yet backed
away from anything that breathed.
Nevertheless he himself will vouch for
the truth of this story.
When Mr.. Masterson was In Chicago
a few years ago he took out $4,000 ac-
cident insurance policy to oblige a good
Fellow. an agent who was a friend of
his. AS he was interested in a book at
that time he gave his occupation as
broker. Having removed to New York
in the past year and become a United
States deputy marshal. Mr.. Masterson
mentioned that fact when he dropped
in at the New York office of the COM
pany the other day to pay his premium.
Wont make any difference" said
the agent; "just leave the policy with
me. I'll fix it."
"And what do you suppose I found
when 1 got my policy back?" Mr.. Mas
terson asked the World reporter.
Some blamed cuss had carefully in
serted a line reading: If the insured is
shot while serving a warrant or in
other marshal's duty the same shall not
be accounted an accident, and the
policy shall be void Now, wouldn't
that make you think? tell you these
insurance companies are all alike, and
I'm glad that some of EN- are getting
theirs right now"
Mr.. Masterson went back to the office
with his policy to make his protest.
And when B. NJ. makes a protest the
person he addresses usually sits up and
listens.
AS Bat entered the office, fire was
flashing from the blue eyes that have
looked without flinching into many a
revolver hurting death toward him.
"I think" he began, that this is a
clear case of bunc''-
Then he stopped short and gasped.
Instead of the insurance agent he ex-
pected he was face to face with pretty
and charming girl.
BEG pardon miss" Bat said hastily.
Charming day isn't it?"
Pardon me, SIR she replied coldly.
81 represent the company. What's this?
Why, of course if you're shot it won t
be an accident. 1t would be homicide
or assault with deadly intent. 1 pre-
sumo. Surely you see that, don't you?''
II took my policy and hit the back
trail" said Bat, sadly, yesterday. OF
course it's a bunc, but what are you
going to do when little slip of a girl

SODA F0UNT ROMANCE
TERMINATES N DIVORCE
Mrs. Sadie Turner Tires of Being on
the Move and Is Re-
leased

Because, as she alleged, her husband
had the habit of leaving his home and
going to some distant part of the
country without making any provision
for ner care Mrs. Sadie Turner yester-
day brought to a close the pretty ro-
nance of her short married career by
securing a decree of divorce before
Judge Gibbs of the superior court.
The couple were married at Ratona,
N. NJ, seven years ago. The groom
was an attendant at a soda fountain
and his bride, a visitor in the town,
first met him while he was serving her
with a drink. Following the wedding,
according to the story told by the
young woman, her husband started on
a series of rambles over the country.
He would leave her and go to another
city and she would pawn some of her
belongings to follow him.
This continued for several years, the
man moving nearly a score of times
during that period and the wife faith
fully following.
Even when he was at home, according
to the allegations of his wife, his COM
pany was not very desirable, as he
would rarely be home at night.
He left his wife in Los Angeles about
a year ago and later wrote to her
telling her he had another little girl
and that he could never be happy with
her again.

MONKEYS WORRY
SAILORS AT SEA
Simians Liberated by an Intelligent
Leader, Hold Crew at Bay
for a Week

for Week
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK Sept. 15.-With the sur
vivors Of 200 fighting Japanese monkeys
on board, the entire complement of
dozen long-haired Chinese dogs dead,
the Chinese monkey keeper a suicide,
story to tell of trouble with Russian
man-of-war. not to mention a typhoon,
into which it poked it's nose, the British
steamer Montrose from Yokohama, has
just arrived.
The Montrose sailed from Yokohama
three months ago, having on board in
addition to a cargo or oriental stuffs,
monkeys and dogs, and forty Japanese
parrots.
The Montrose was proceeding through
the canal on the morning of August 10,
when suddenly there was an unroar on
the upper deck amidships. Toxic man.
aged to get out of his cage and liber-
ated about 100 other monkeys. Then for
week there was pandemonium on
the Montrose.
Members of the Chinese crew were
objects of the first attack, and for
days their life was made miserable.
Their queues were pulled and their
legs were bitten every time a Chinaman
showed himself.
When the tormented ones tried to de-
fend themselves the monkeys climbed
into the rigging and grinningly awaited
for their enemies to separate. 1t was
week before the monkeys were sub
dued.
When at last the decks and rigging
were cleared of their presence, fifty had
been killed, some of the Cinnamon and
others by jumping into the sea.
The day before the monkeys were
subdued Hoy Sing, the monkey keeper,
jumped overheard and was drowned.
The monkeys also were responsible
for the loss of the dogs. The long
hair of the latter made splendid thing
to hold on to, and so vigorous was the
persecution of those unfortunates that
every one was killed before the mon
keys capitulated.
The Russian man of war incident
occurred in the Gulf of Alden. The
Russian ship sighted the Montrose and
fired shot across it's bow. The Mont
rose stopped, exhibited its papers, ana
was allowed to proceed.

When the World reporter told Miss
Carlson, the woman in the case who 1t
was that she had treated so cavalierly
she nearly fell over.
"Was that Bat Masterson?" she cried.
"The real Bat Masterson? That quiet
gentleman? 1 wouldn't have spoken to
him like that for all the world!"

HEALTH OF POPULAR ACTOR
BROKEN
WILL RETURN TO ARIZONA
Well Known Member of Belasco Stock
Company Suffering From a
TubercuIar Affection
of the Throat

The local stage career of Tom Oberle,
the popular actor of the Belasco thea
ter stock company, is rapidly approach
ing an end.
At consultation of physicians held
Thursday it was determined that this
capable and well known Thespian
must relinquish his stage labors within
a very few weeks. When Oberle was
given six weeks vacation by the
Belasco management a few months
ago 1T was with the hope that the rest
might restore the actor to good health,
but when he returned it was found
that while his physical condition was
vastly benefited by the rest, his throat
was in worse shape than ever. The
consultation held Thursday developed
the fact that the actor was suffering
with a serious tubercular affection of
the throat, and that an immediate and
prolonged rest was absolutely neces-
sary. When the result of the confer
ence was made known to Mr.. Oberle
he remarked: "All right; L curried
Eorses in Arizona for a couple of years
and got my health back, and 1 guess
1 can do the same thing again"
Mr.. Oberle will continue to appear in
the Belasco bills for the coming four
weeks, after which he will be COM
PEELED to sever his connection with the
company. He will Immediately go to
Phoenix, Ariz. where he was sent
when his health broke down in New
York while he was appearing in Au-
gustus Thomas play, Arizona" five
years ago.
Affected by Friends Death
Intimate friends of Oberle aver that
the actors health has not been good
since the death of Sam S. Shubert,
who was killed in an accident on the
Pennsylvania railroad at Harrisburg,
Pa, and the demise of Kirk La Shelle,
the well-known manager of "Arizona,' -
who died a week after Shubert was
killed. At the time Oberle broke down
during the Gotham career of Arizona -
the piece was being played at the Her
aid Square theater, at that time under
Shubert's management. When Shu-
bert and La Shelle. who were largely
instrumental IN having Oberle sent
west for his health, told the actor that
he must relinquish his part in "Ari-
zona,' he replied: II may not be a
we'll man, but you mark me- 1 will live
to see both of you buried"
When the news of the deaths of his
former managers was carried to Oberle
he repeated his prophecy of five years
ago, and said, with a pathetic note ir
his voice, And now that they're gone
1 suppose it's to be my turn next"
DR.. R. Nichol Smith, Obere's phys
ician, expresses the belief that year
or two in the dry climate of Arizona
will put the popular actor once more
or his feet, and that he will then bt
able to resume his stage labors.
Friends of Oberle are discussing q
monster benefit for him before he
leaves the Belasco organization.
number of prominent citizens of Los
Angeles have volunteered their services
to head a committee to take charge Of
such a benefit performance, but so fal
no definite plans have been made.
