STOLEN HORSE PLAYS POLICE
Recognizing Former Home He Turns
In at Stable, Where sIeuths
Are in Waiting
Apeclal to The Herald.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.--Three detec-
tives were in the stable at 423 East
Ninetieth street looking for a stolen
horse and wagon yesterday when the
missing animal dashed in from the
street. He used to be kept in that
stable, and when he passed it he took
the bit in his teeth and bolted in.
In the wagon was Otis Weinz, Is
years old, of 1895 Lexington avenue.
The detectives arrested him and they
say he confessed that he and two other
boys had stolen the horse. Albert Cur
tbs, 49, of 121 East Eighty-third street,
and Herbert Moss, 20, of lis East
Eighty-third street were also arrested.
Weinz was on his way to prospec-
tive purchaser when the horse decided
his own fate. The theft was committed
far from the stable where the horse,
recognizing place where he used to
be fed, and feeling hungry, turned in.
1t was by mere coincidence that the de-
tectives were there. for they were MAX
ing a perfunctory round of east side
stables in their search.

WAR ON LIONS AND WOLVES

DEADwoOD, s. d., Aug. 4.-The
Black hills forest reserve, in compare

has much upon which to congratulate
itself. From all points in the west and
the middle west come cries from stock
men who have stock grazing on the
reserves that wild animals are causing
much destruction among the stock. The
animals coming In for the major por.
tion Of the blame are the timber wolf
and the mountain lion. While these an
imals are not unknown In this section
OF the country. yet they are no longer
plenty, and the loss to stock by them
Is practically nothing. An occasional
timber wolf is encountered In the out
lying districts, and every few months
reports are heard Of mountain lions,
but these are few.
The chief difficulty on the forest re-
serve has been on the Wind river de
vision OF the Yellowstone reserve, in
Wyoming. It is even stated that the
wolves are increasing so rapidly that
they seriously threaten the future OF
the live stock business In that section.

Some Insist Figure High in Air Is Man
in Skirts-Makes Book on
Sex Question
Special to The Herald.

special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-From the south
west corner of State and Monroe
streets they said it was "a lady'-pos-
sibly not a perfect lady, it being i'm
possible to give an exact opinion on a
subject which was three stories up in
the air and was viewed at such an
angle.
From directly across the street in
Monroe, where the view from the side
walk was direct, and from the rear
they said 1t was man, the clothes to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
From the same angle, but up three
stories in the Palmer house, they said
1t was "a lady" From State street,
where you get the profile, they said it
was "a lady," but from almost directly
under it in State street you could not
be positive.
A man who had taken observations
from all possible points of view an
nounced that it was a gambling propo-
sition and opened a book on 1t.
The clothes were white-short skirt
with an elastic around the legs about
at the knees. Qf 1t had not been for
this elastic there might not have been
so much doubt for so long time.) A
red necktie added bit of color.
The subject Of conjecture was paint
llB Oil duN6TllS6lll6HI OIl IIl6 wall OF IL
building uncovered by the wrecking
and excavation for the new Mentor
building. 1t faced the wall and dabbed
carefully at red background, keeping
one hand tightly on a guide rope which
hung down from the roof, and both
feet likewise carefully on a ladder
which formed the airy platform swung
from the roof on ropes.
During the'afternoon the rubbernecks
in State street could have been counted
by the thousands One of the two po-
licemen on the corner gave 1t as his
opinion that when the "lady" came
down from the scaffolding she would
wrap one leg around the rope and de-
scend as eXpertly as high sign paint
er, and that as soon as she was down
she would ask for a chew of tobacco.
This was a discouraging opinion to
those who believed themselves to be
rubbering at female beauty and who
were wishing that the elastic would
break.
Several interested spectators procured
field glasses, and after an exhaustive
study placed their bets on the feminin-
ity side of the wager, saying some
thing about the contour being lady
like.
Towards evening as the difference of
opinion was becoming strenuous the
painter reached one hand around and
made several passes at the back hair.
You can pay off on that" said a
wise one, and the bookmaker cashed.
