WIFE HELPS VICE
IN HIS EXILE.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

MADEIRA, Oct. 22-Something Of hu-
man interest might be compiled from
the record Of the three years which
Billy" Vice. abscOnding passenger
gent OF the Union Pacific Railway,
spent in this provincial town with the
wife whose fealty TO him has remained
mistaken throughout the dreary days
Of their exile. While living in a mea
ger cottage tie couple have literally
shared crusts and tried TO lessen the
severity Of their banishment from the
city whose life and associations once
meant so much to them.
Inspired by his wife, Vice rarely lost
heart At times his old buoyancy
would assert itself in the face Of the
most severe trials, and 10 the day of
his arrest ne assumed a cheerful atti-
tude despite his frayed jacket and
emacisted purse.
During his stay here Vice was known
as Thomas r. Ryan, and he eked out a
precariOus giving as an advertising So
licitor for a country newspaper.
That he was apprehensive of arrest
was shown by his habit Of locking and
barring his home at night and his eager
inquiries concerning any stranger in
town.

FRIGHTENED BY JOKE.


one day about four months ago
drummer came TO town and jokingly re-
marked that he was United States
marshal in search or a hunted muir
derer and a runaway crook. Vice. or
Ryan. as he was then known. happened
10 be the man at the bar TO whom this
Information was impaired. He evidently
took the statement seriously, for he
darted out Of the place with a hurried
excuse and secured the town TO borrow
SIS. with which he got out Of town. He
returned after a week.
During the time that Vice and his
wife remained in MADEIRA they were
frequently in financial straits but at
rare intervals money in fairly large
sums came to them from some un-
known source. On one occasion they
received 5000, and again they got
check on a Portland bank for $3.50.
Vice said that he was a member of the
Elks and got the money in the form
OF sick benefits. but he contradicted
this when questioned by member Of
the local Elks lodge.
When a stranger came. into town
last Thursday and was known TO be
looking for some one, Vice met him
and had several long talks with him.
but the nature OF their conversations
is not known Vice. among other
things, however is known to have re-
marked facetiously TO the stranger
that he knew every one worth know
ing, besides a whole lot who were not
DETECTIVE ARRIVES.
on the second day of the strangers s
arrival Vice went home with blanched
face and told his wife that all was up.
The stranger was Pinkerton man. The
pair talked the matter over and finally
sent a message TO a friend in Santa
Rosa That afternoon Attorney Rose Of
Santa Rosa conferred with Judge
Shortall and tried TO get the bail Of the
fugitive reduced to S2500. The original
bail was $4,000. The Judge would not
gree TO the suggestion, but remarked
that il would go easier if the wanted
man would surrender. Rose said he
would think il over and left 1t is now
known that Vice wired TO his friends
IN Santa Rosa. imploring them to do
something for him and remove the sus-
pense under which he was laboring.
Otherwise. he declared, he would end
his misery by killing himself and his
wife.
While in MADEIRA Vice and his wife
were well thought of. Mrs. Vice at
tended church regularly and took an
active part in Sunday-scnool work. Vice
himself occasionally taught Bible
class.

FOOTLIGHIS INVITING
Cherry Sisters Once More TO Leave
Farm for Stage.

Eldorado, Iowa, Feb. 9.-The fam
Gus Cherry Sisters, who made Iowa
famous, and who have been living on
their fine farm in Linn County in re
tirement for the last three or four
years, are about to appear again be-
fore the footlights and begin the
second of a series of tours which
were so profitable financially when
they started on the road before. This
inimitable bunch of footlight artists
has appeared during the last ten or
fifteen years in almost every city of
importance in this country.
Their work contains so much origi-
nality and individuality that they oc-
cupy a sphere all their own in the
theatrical world, but their position
has not at all times been an enviable
one. as their peculiar work has at
times been described as ludicrous.

POOR indian BOY
His Land Taken by Prospectors Who
Pay Him Huge Royalties.


Nowata, l. T.. Feb. S.-The transi-
ton of ali Indian boy from a penni-
less son of nature to a prospective
millionaire has been accomplished in
Indian Territory in a day.
AT Nowata, before the Master in
Chancery Of the Northern Judicial
District oil and gas leases on minor
Indians lands were sold, and among
them was the land of Ben Byrd. Yes
terday Ben owned 40 acres of riv-
er bottom land, valued at $40 per
acre. The land was allotted to him
by the Government in return for
thousands Of acres decided by his
fathers many years ago to the Unit
ed States.
Ben Byrd still owns the land, and,
besides, there is to his credit in the
bank, $10,120.
When Byrd's land was offered bid
ding became lively. The amount of
bonus per acre climbed steadily up
ward, until it reached $92. This ev-
ening Ben's guardian signed the
lease and the bonus was paid over.
Today the lessee of the Indian
boys land will let a contract for
drilling twenty oil wells. The wells
will have an average production of
ITO barrels per day, and of this
amount Ben will receive 10 per cent
At the prevailing price of oil the
Standard company will pay the lessee
81, 900 per day, and Ben's share will
be 800 per day.
By the time he shall reach his ma
turity the Indian lad, now twelve
years old, will be immensely wealthy.

Much interest is being manifested
by local theatre-goers over the en-
gagement of the now famous musical
play, Little Johnny Jones, at the
Gennett, Monday, February II.
Nothing is said to ever have ap-
preached it for the massiveness or
beauty of its scenic embellishments,
while the costumes of the principals
and chorus are said to represent a
fortune. Geo. M. Conan, who writes
his own plays and composes his own
music, has written for "Little John
ny JONES'" some twenty musical
numbers, everyone of which is said
to have scored. The company and
chorus numbers seventy-fve people,
the east including the names of many
we'll known favorites.

At the Gennett.

Large audiences have witnessed
every performance at the Gennett
this week. The bill is one of the best
ever produced at this popular house
and is meeting with the patronage it
deserves. One Of the most amusing
features is the attempt of someone
in the audience to ride a bucking po-
ny. So far no one has succeeded al
though several attempts have been
made. Besides the dog and pony cir
Gus, the seven other acts are unusual
ly clever and one of the best assem-
blies of entertainers that ever ap-
peared here, as numbers on vaude-
vile bill, is provided. AS a comedy
musician, Arthur Adair is as clever
as can be found. The Mannin Trio
and all the other performers are first
class and every act keeps the average
far above the ordinary.

NEW YORK. October 2O.-G. r. Scrug-
ham, manager Of the International policy
holders committee. today received from
Otto Kelsey, state superintendent of In
surance. a letter in reply to the several
complaints filed at Albany against the
campaign methods Of the New York Life
Insurance Company. In substance the let

THE New York insurance law requires
companies to mail to each policyholder
statement Of the several tickets for d.
rectors. with full instructions for voting
and with blank proxy and return envelope.
No other Enclosures are allowed. Policy
holders may ignore all other papers
ceived and vote on other forms sent by
interested parties, provided the names
voted are on the official list Of nominees
and the policyholder includes the number
of his policy and signs the ballot in the
presence Of subscribing witness.
More Investigations.
''If the New York Life complies with the
statutory provision for sending out official
statements and does not use the funds Of
the company In promoting the election of
the administration ticket nor improperly
employ its agents. this department can
not prevent those favoring the administra-
ZION TICKET SenQlnS out upon their own mo-
ton and expense such campaign literature
to policyholders as they choose to prepare.
Each party to the controversy is entitled
to the same and equal privilege.
1.-The questions of wrongfully using money
of the policyholders and of securing as
sistance from agents under official pres

"A second telegram from you dated the
18th calls attention to section So of the

lens of corporate wealth in an address
here today, declaring that there must be
an Inheritance tax and perhaps later on an

He said in part: 1.-The other day Marshall
Field died 1t was found that his fortune
exceeded the enormous sum of $lOO. 10000.
This vast wealth he left in trust for nifty
years, his sole heir being one individual
not yet in his teens. At the end of fifty
years, when that trust expires, that fortune
viii amount to not less than 81 900 OOo, coo:
at is believed that the wealth of John D.
Rockefeller now amounts to $SO0,OOo.OO0. L
have been told by those who should know
that 1t is nearly 81 O0O, geo 600. At his death
1t will probably be found to be much
greater than that 1t will descend to SIN
gle person-one of the best young men IN
every way In this or any other country In
his hands that fortune will not diminish,
for he is careful. prudent. able. II he lives
$500 OOO, GOO which he inherits will probably
amount ITO $4,000. 100000 l might go on al
great length with similar illustrations
"All this Is wrong. 1t is dangerous TO the
wealthy believe In fostering and encour-
aging that industrial enterprise which
makes men accumulate money. But when

longer the result Of individual effort and
