BOY STOLE A STEAMBOAT
Ponca Bills Missouri River Exploit ]!
Recalled by Sentence.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, April 19.-Roy
Zero, alias "Ponca Bill" the boy who
stole a steamboat was sentenced on
Saturday to the South Dakota peniten-
tiary for robbing Watertown store.
Zero had a Sioux City record, but his
remarkable performance was the theft
of the steamboat.
In the fall of 1896 Zero began his ca
reer by the theft of steamboat be-
longing to the Argo Starch works at
Nebraska City, Neb., anchored to the
east side of the Missouri river near
Hamburg, Iowa. 1t was used to bring
corn to the starch works. Young Zero
and at Nebraska City he stole across
the big bridge, picked up small skiff
and began the hunt for a steamboat.
Dreams of Captain Kidd must have
crossed the mind of the boy, as he
| thought of the glorious trip to the gulf
in the corn boat.
He found the boat unlocked and the
fires banked. The two men who cared
for it were in Hamburg. Carrying on
quick fire, young Zero pushed the
boat out from the shore and started
| the engines. With the paddles splash
ing the boat went on swiftly with the
current. Zero knew nothing of the
current but luck favored him, and at
! daylight he steered in port at Browns
Vile. There he was, of course, arrest
ed. The judge sympathized with Fero
but he was sent to the reform school
with 1000 dement's.
On a bright summer afternoon in
1897, when all were out getting fresh
air, "Ponca Bill slipped down to the
rooms of the bookkeeper, John Brandt,
and dressed himself in one of Mrs.
Brandt's summer gowns, took white
para1os and went out for a walk. He
took a Union Pacific train for North
Platte. But there mis- fondness for liq-
uor resulted in the disarrangement OF
his clothes and his rearrest. But he
soon escaped again, writing on the
blackboard as he went out:
Some day I'll wander back again
don't think-and some cigarettes l
will bring"
Now Zero has fulfilled expectations
| by getting himself into prison.

Next to the smile OF a baby when be
sees his reflection in his mothers eye
when that proud mother is folding
him to her breast, music is the most
sublime gilt Of God to the world.
There Is pot the slightest doubt but
that the contentment, the tender
chords which tie everybody Of char
acter to okolona is based upon the
high talent of 80 many Of her people
in the natural gift and pure culture in
this sublime art. Naturally, then,
when one of the city's most cultured
musicians meets and invites a high
class artist to come to her home that
her people may enjoy heasing him, the
reception he will BE- accorded can only
be equalled by such an ovation as
was given to Mr.. John W. Nichols, Of
New York, who sang at the Opera
house under the invitation and direc-
ton of Mrs. A. 7. Stovall on Tuesday
night. The assurance Of Mrs. Stovall,
who Is herself a cultured artist in mu-
sic, was sufficient TO ill the opera
house to hear Mr.. Nichols, nor did any
one go away dissatisfied. The young
mans rendition Of the most difficult
and without doubt the heaviest pro-
gramme over attempted in this city,
was simply phenomenal. Out of Mrs.
stovall's difidence to appear as accom-
PIANIST at home, the audience was de-
lighted with another surprise, that Of
Miss Sims, Of Aberdeen, conserving
and coming at the ninth honr to pre-
side with Mrs. StovalI at the piano.
It was indeed a grand evening for
Okolona, and the beautiful audience,
representing the culture and taste OF
the city, attested it's permanence in
the annals Of the towns history.

II RAs it ever occurred to you
how many people there
VI are on this earth and
that no two were just
alike9 Think of it, nearly two
billions of people moving about on
the face of the globe and each and
every one is just a little different
than any other one of the whole
number.
The old saying that in every com
munity you find the same objec-
tionable and the same favorable
features, is not literally true. Of
course it may be admitted that
there are to be found everywhere
one goes something not just as we
would like to have it, people not
just to our liking, but the variety is
not the same by any means. There
is too much truth in the adage that
like begets like, for this to be
otherwise.
