SUPERINTENDENT N"7rfrnYT7TTHf6F 5HV7FN

downright, 1905, by p. C. Eastment.l
There had been no less than thirty
six thcfts and burglaries in the eastern
suburb of the city, all evidently by the
same hand, and yet the police had
not found the culprlt.
| know hat the police worked hard
on this case, and that every seeming
clew was carefully followed, and h a
they let a boy fifteen years old take all
the credit away from them was not
their fault. | was that boy, and that
| solved the mystery was owing 10
luck. The crimes began about the
middle of September, Il gave them
no attention until about the 1st of No
vember. Then | happened to be talk
ing with a man who had had his push
cart stolen. This, in fact, was at the
beginning of the thcfts. He mentioned
that the tire of INT of the wheels had
been wrapped with wire to tighten it.
On the night of the talk another
house was robbed. 1t was only two
blocks from my fathers house, and
Will llltlc, WIN OblItLo. ii1 49,
fused all information, but during the
day | was told by Il son Of the house
holder that they had found racks I'M
der n window. 1t was an open fall
and the ground had not yet frozen
The tracks were those of Il boot, and
the sole Of one had been mended. l
vent up and down the alley in the rear
of the house with this boy, and IN
the dust we found the impress of what
looked to be buggy tires. They were
something else, h~oWever-they were the
impress of the tires Of that pushcart.
At every revolution II of the wheels
left a sort Of smudge, and l was JUS
titled in believing that it was h tire
that did it.
Ny theory was that all the stolen
goods had been taken away in the
pushcart, but the case was blocked
right there. Where had they been
taken? Had l gone to the police with
my theory l should have been ridicul-
ed. The detective who can't find a
clew himself doesn't want any one else
to find one. When | had lain awake a
dozen nights trying TO ngure Things
out luck helped me The streets were
still dusty. A barn had been broker
open and a lot of bedding temporarily
stored therein had been taken.
l happened to be passing the place
when the discovery was made and the
police telephoned for. There were the
tracks Of the pushcart again. In the
dusty road following the cart were
boot tracks, and one Of ITEM had a
patch on the sole. l followed them for
d mile straight out into the country
before they were lost.
1t was easy to figure that If he thief
was not selling any of his plumber he
was storing it somewhere and that the
country offered a safer place than the
city. The idea now was to follow
along the road 4nd spot off any likely
, 1905-11-08

looking place. | had my mind mace up
that 1t would be an Old barn out about
two miles. | walked out on the 0
for five miles and found no one but
farmers OF honest standing. I took
two crossroads and followed them for
a distance, but with the same result.
The thief had gone out that road with
the pushcart and the bedding, lat
where had he brought up? The Weatli-
err changed, the ground froze, and
all at once the crimes ceased.
Then luck came again. | was hwy
ing Il pair of winter gloves in Il store
when Il farmer called and asked foY Il
pair of mittens for Il woman. Some
talk followed, and it came out tat
she was a widow who was living neXt
to him, three miles out of town. lie
also asked where he could get Il pair
OF rubber boots for her.
l got the idea right then and there
that the widow was the criminal. 1t
seemed absurd, but yet the idea chung.
A detective would have told me II go
home and soak my head, and Il report
er would have laughed me out of his
IOOIll. L ClitAt TIL ONtI lut llIlIS lpi u
week, and then something happened.
| had been sent on an errand directly
after breakfast, and | passed Il house
which had been burglariZed the night
before. There were quite a number of
people about, and the owner was tell
ing them how entrance had been effect
ed and what had been taken. What
b11ptarc and farnarG COLL a tracking
snow had fallen during the night, and
the first thing | looked for was the
track of that pushcart.
An alley ran alongside the house, and
there they were. There were also
prints of rubber boots. The alley gate
opened rather hard, and sticking to it
We're some small threads of blue yarn.
The farmer had bought blue mittens
for the widow. Taking up the tracks, [
followed them for two miles before
they were obliterated by travel. l kept
on to the house of the widow and
found 1t a small cottage. Between the
gate and the road the cart tracks and
the footprints were as plain as day.
| had worked the case as far as |
could, and | now went to the police. |
was sneered at and warned not to
NEEDLE with their business. l went to
the sufferer by the last robbery, and as
he was a man Of influence and anxious
to get his property back he not only
listened, but insisted that something
be done. A search warrant was pro-
cured, a couple of detectives wen out
to the Widows farm, and from an out
door cellar enough stolen property was
dragged to fill several stores.
She had been stealing off and on for
three years. She had always dressed
as a mar In her excursions. Until she
stole the pushcart she had used a
~Wheelbarrow. Stolen money she had
made use of, but not a stolen article
had been sold. She had passed for a re-
spectacle, hard working woman, and
by her keeping the goods on hand her
lawyers made out that she was a KEEP
tomaniac and got her a sentence Of
two years, when she might have other
wise got fifteen. NJ. QUAD.

GOTCH ON HU-JITSU.

"F'rom what I have seen of the jiu- jitsu," said Frank Gotch, the wrestler, one night last week, Il am free to say that it has no terrOrs for me, nor do think it has for any American athlete. Of course, if you permit jiu-jitsu ex- pert to take his locks as he pleases. and then exert his strength, he may do you damage or make you cry enough. the usual termination to one of their bouts. But if the man on whom the system is being demonstrated is per mitted to defend himself. I have yet to see the Japanese who can accomplish much with his holds against even the ordinary man. to say nothing of a well trained athlete.
 Tt was first introduced to the Jap anese game in California. There was a Jap there who was doing all sorts Of tricks with the boys fin the gymnasium. We arranged a, match in which defeat was to be accomplished by forcing any part of an opponents body to the mat. As soon as he touched otherwise than with his feet he was defeated. I won three falls in thirty-six seconds. each time throwing the Jap his full length on the mat. So far as I could see. he had nothing to put on me in the way of bone breaking. chest crushing locks. If he had he didn't have time to use them, and after seeing some of the performances later I would almost be willing to let him try some of them and agree to break them after being executed.

JAP CHALLENGES JEFFRIEs.

According to the representative of Jim Jeffries. K. Higashi. who has gain- cd nOtoriety as a jiu-jitsu expert, is anxious to take fall out of the cham pion fighter. Higashi is little. but ac- ror,iing to Jeffries's press agent he chai- lenged the boilermaker to a finish fight in the following stirring terms:
 "I have practiced jiujitsu since l was Q years old and am prepared to meet any man in the world, bar none in combat. One condition only 1 make in this challenge and that is that be allowed to use all the tricks and ds- vices employed by jiu-jitsu men of Japan in desperate conflict I stop those who fight with the fists in a diff ferent manner from the way in which I stop wrestlers. Although I am aware that ylr Je6ries is as big again as | am. have no doubt of my ability tO overcome him and throw him over my head. This requires not only skill, but is the result of many years of exper- fence. My opponent may employ box ing, wrestling and jiu-jitsu tricks aeainst me as he pleases- I will meet him with jiu-jitsu alone"

 vicksburg, Miss. March cO.- On U field that was slippery and muddy the New York Americhs yesterday shut out the Vicksburgh team. The expert ment of burning sawdust sprinkled with coal-oil was tried before the game but 1t did little toward drying the field.
 Base running was lost art in the mud, but the New Yorks hit the bail so hard they had no trouble in making the circuit. They also fielded without tremor. Clarkson doing particularly good work.
 Elberfeld, in center field. was tao star of the game. He slid through the slimy footing and caught fly, and he took two line hits on the first bound and threw out the batter at first base each time
 .Conroy was not bothered in the least and gathered in high fouls in his iminl- table fashion.

THE PUGlLISTS.
PLENTY OF
 GOOD SCRAPS
Many Clubs Held Many Bouts Friday and Satur. day Nights = Fighting News is Brisk.

Philadelphia, March 2O-A card of exceptional excellence was offered to the patrons of the National Sporting club, this city, Saturday night, and $500 persons attended The star at- fractions were Tommy Murphy of the New Polo A. C., New York, and Phil Logan of this city and Hughey Nc Govern of Brooklyn and John Lansing of Philadelphia.
 Lansing and McGovern met in what was advertised as the semi windup. They had it out for six rounds at 122 pounds. It went the limit and Hughey was easily the winner on points. McGovern had all the better of the first round, digging his right into the stomach and jab- ping his left to the face. Lansing landed couple of good left swings to the head and he brought the blood from McGOvern's face in the second by jabbing. Lansing did clever work in the third with straight left jab, but McGovern's body blows weak ened him. Lansing slowed up in the fourth. McGOvern kept after him and did great execution with right and left jolts to the wind. The fifth round was in favor of McGovern. McGovern had Lansing tired and grOggy in the sixth round, but could not finish him.
 About ten minutes later Murphy and Logan appeared. They met at 125 pounds. In the first round Mur- phy led with short left and hooked 1t to the jaw. Logan swung and then caught a stiff left on the head. Logan ripped q hard right to the stomach and in return Murphy dropped Logan with a hard right to the jaw. When Logan arose he fought back desper- ately, landing four successive lefts and rights on the head. One of the blows brought the blood from Mur- phys nose romF this round until the finish Logan seemed to have his man measured, although Murphy swung after he was unable to connect to any extent. At the finish Murphy .cie more marks than Logan.
 The nreliininlries were of a high order and furnished some stiff gruel- ling. The first pair were Eddie Me- AvOy of Philadelphia and Young Otto of New York. It was easily Otto's struggle. Johnny Dwyer of the New Polo A. c. met Unk Russell of Phila- delphia in the next essay. The result was a draw. The third bout brought together Terry Martin of Philadelphia and Danny Duane. the New York lightweight. Martin clinched repeat- edly and was disqualified in the third.

THE SPORTING NEWS.
MATCH NOW
 ARRANGED
Cronan and Pickett Will Meet Ut City Hall Thurs. day Night--Parr Thrown By Rooney.

everything IS now arranged for the wrestling contest between Dave Cron- an of the Brooklyn Athletic club and Dan Pickett of the Goodwill Athletic club. The match will take place next Thursday evening and in order to ac- cOmOdate those who no doubt will be anxious to see it, it will be held at City hall. This is one of the most important matches ever pulled of in this city and 1t has taken weeks to complete the final arrangements. Two clubs ma,.e bids for the match, the Simonsville Athletic club and the Brooklyn Athletic club. The former club was successful in bid ding but owing to the small quarters of the club it was found impossible to put in an eighteen foot mat, as cen sequence Manager Joe Lawlor of the club dropped the match. An agree ment could not be reached to hold the match in the Brooklyn Athletic club rooms as Cronan, one of the particl- pants was a member of that club. Finally Manager Bergen made an offer to give fifty percent of the receipts of the match after some expenses were paid, furnish hall and mat and see that the contest was thoroughly adver- tised. This offer was accepted and then began the hunt for hall City ball was finally secured this morning and the window cards advertising the match will be distributed this evening.
 By the terms of the match Cronan agrees to throw Pickett two falls ill one hour of actual wrestling. me match is at catch-weights but it is be- lieved that Cronan will not weigh ten pounds more than Pickett. Both the wrestlers are in condition now and have only been awaiting the selection of the hall. Both are strong, rugged lads and those who attend on the eve hing of the contest will see one of the most bitterly contested matches ever pulled off in New England. It is be- lieved that at least $1,OOO will change hands on the result of the match. Each side will deposit $50 as side bet and the winner of the match will take everything, the loser getting nothing. The. platform on which the, lads will wrestle will be erected on the floor of the hall and all will have an Opportun- ity of seeing the contest. There will be two preliminaries, "The Turk" and "YOung Blondfn" will furnish one and Gresham, the champion of Montreal and Young Fitzgerald of the GoOdwills will furnish the second. Here is a tournament that has not been unsur- passed in this state. The admission will be p cents for rush seats and 5O cents for the ringside.
