Woman Wore Male Attire.

Pittsburg, Pa-Masquerading as a
nan for six months, operating one OF
the heaviest lathes in the plant of the
Westinghouse Electric & Manufactur-
ing Company successfully, frequenting
poolrooms and other public resorts
where she was constantly under the
close scrutiny Of men companions
these facts were brought to light when
a woman who had been known as
Ode Hackett was arrested, charged
with larceny and taken to the East
Pittsburg lookup.
The story gained publicity when the
young woman was arrested on
charge of larceny and lodged in jail in
Ee St Pittsburg.
The girl broke down and wept. After
being questioned, she confessed to
having dressed herself In mans attire.
Search of her room, SO the police say,
showed two trunks filled with valu-
able tools, wire and brass. 1t is also
said a typewriter is missing and she
Is accused of knowing something of
its disposition.
Little is known of the woman. Last
January she appeared at the Westing-
house plant and applied for work. AS
she looked strong and no one sus-
pected her of being woman, she was
given employment. For the past six
months she has operated a heavy lathe
in the plant, and the work Is said to
have been as satisfactory as that Of
any man in the works.
She made her home in Turtle Creek
and made no effort to hold herself
aloof from male companions. In fact,
she seemed to prefer to associate with
them as one of their number. After
the disappearance of number of val
liable tools from the works she was
suspected, and a close scrutiny re.
suited in her arrest.

Talked Out of a Fortune.

Chicago-Alleging that he was
talked out of fortune which he
should have inherited from his
mother, by a fortune teller, Andrew
Lilak has brought suit in the Circuit
Court, asking for an accounting and
a receiver for the estate. He says
the fortune teller has now married
the fortune by becoming his step
mother.
He charges that Marie Kara. the
ess. mad told gloomy things about
him to his mother, Maria Stroper, as
she lay dying with a cancer.
Among other unpleasant forecasts,
she is alleged to have informed Mrs.
Stroner, whom she knew to be pos
sessed of some fortune, that her son
would never come to see her after she
was dead, which so wrought upon the
sensitive pride of the one about to
die that she Immediately decided to
leave the $4,000 of which she was
possessed to her husband, Charles
Stroner.
Soon thereafter she made the deci-
sion effective by death, and the fore
caster of events made 1t further eff
fective by marrying Stroner. To all
of this Lilak enters objections. The
property is now nominally held by
John Kara. son Of the soothsayer.

No department of government, Ger.
tainly none represented in the presi-
dents cabinet, is less open to partizan
political criticism than the department
of agriculture. Sometimes there is a
hubbub about free seeds, for which
congress and not the department is
responsible. Beyond that the COM
plants are few and the blessings are
many. Secretary Wilson says that
during the fiscal year Just ended the
department has made discoveries
which will benefit the American peo-
pie to the extent Of millions of dollars
"a sum too vast to calculate. Some
Ut these discoveries are patentable.
and If the patents were held by the
discoveries would make them rich.
But all such patents, after being taken
out in the name of the inventors, are
dedicated to the United States for the
common good.

KlsER GETTING FROM UNDER.
One Of the Men Arrested on Charge OF
Firinq Depot Will cheep.

Boulder. Colo.-George w. Teal and
George F. Fonda, both of this city,
were in Denver and had a short talk
with Kiser in the jail. Kiser said to
them that he was not responsible for
the fire at the Colorado & Southern de-
pot, because Reeves set it, and he could
not keep him from doing SO.
He did not deny, however, that he
set one of the first fires, nor that he
stood by Reeves when the latter put
the waste and the straw in the box car
which caused the conflagratton, nor
did he deny that he and Reeves
sneaked off together to the brewery,
and from there watched the flames
spread without sending in an alarm.
Kiser impressed the men as attempt
ing, in a cowardly way, to evade his
share of the responsibility.
The actions Of Harvey Pool may be
Inquired into, as he was told by the
men that they would do something,
and after they did commit their crime
he did not tell the officers who the
men were, in fact, did not tell them
hat he had been warned to remain
away because it was desired he should
not be implicated. While the officers
we're on the hunt for the guilty men
he kept under cover.

BANDITS STICK UP SALOON.
Carry Of $500 and Make Their Escape
Into the Night.

Silverton. Colo.-The most daring
and cleverly executed stickup in the
history Of Silverton occurred Thurs
day morning at 2:45 o'clock in the sa-
loon and gambling house of Slattery.
Three masked men, dressed in the
garb Of rough riders. raided the place
and escaped with $500 In cash be-
sides several valuable diamonds and
several guns before the occupants had
fully realized what had happened.
There were twenty-five, but none Of
fered resistance. They were herded
in corner at the point of guns, as If
so many cattle. and made to face the
wall while the bandits gathered their
loot. No attempt was made by the
robbers to search their victims or
their haul would have been much
larger.
Several of the patrons as well as
those employed by Slattery wore val
liable diamonds and many carried
goodly sums Of money. These were
not molested, the robbers combining
themselves to taking the contents of
the cash drawer and safe. When their
work had been accomplished the trio
disappeared through the rear door and
were lost in the darkness. A she f's
posse was Immediately organized, but
failed to capture the bad men.

HAD LAIN ON MARBLE SLAB IN
MoRGUE TWO DAYS AND
LIVES.
knew ALL GOING ON
WHEN CORONER STARTS POST
MORTEM EXAMINATION
DEAD MAN COMES TO.

st. Joseph, Mo.-John A. Hall, a
railroad man, who came here recently
from Sabetha, Kansas, was found in
the yards west OF Locust street few
nights ago, apparently dead. The body
was removed to a morgue, where 1t
lay on a slab all night. after Hall had
been pronounced dead by the police
surgeon.
On the following day Halls body
still lay on the slab In the morgueA -
til late in the evening. The coroner
had been busy during the day and had
no time to look at the corpse. When
he went into the morgue he was &C.
companied by one or two other physi-
clans and those who had found the
body of Hall. The witnesses were
questioned and 1t was learned that he
had nothing in his pockets from which
his identity could be established. No
body at that time knew his name or
where he had lived.
The coroner decided on a post NOR
tenn examination and left his assist
ant to do the work.
The assistant took up the knife and
drew it down Halls abdomen, split
ting the skin several inches. Almost
as soon as the knife touched him Hall
began to arise from the slab, and a
second later stood on his feet before
the astonished doctor.
you needn't cut me open," said
Hall. 'Tll answer any questions you
ask me-"
Halls clothes were found in another
room and he put them on. Assistant
Coroner Brewer took him to restau-
rant and had bowl of soup prepared
for him. After he had eaten, Hall de-
clared his intention of going to his
home in Sabetha.
But you can't go tonight" said the
deputy coroner.
Sure 1 can," answered Hall.
There's train in about half an hour"
The deputy coroner wondered how
he was going to account for the abb
sence Of the corpse If Hall got away.
He walked with him in the direction
of the passenger station and turned
him over to the first policeman he met.
Hall was released the next morning
and was allowed to go home.
Hall declared that he was conscious
from the time he fell to the ground in
the railroad yards, where he had gone
to ask for employment. He said. he
heard all that was said when the u
oner stood beside him In the morgue
and announced that he would hold a
post mortem examination, but was un-
able to move or make an outcry.

All /: Serene on c. q 9.

Denver.-Sixteen freight trains out.
seven in, and all transfer tracks
switched was the record made In the
Colorado & Southern yards on the first
day of the return Of the strikers. Ev-
cry man who left his position as re-
suit of the strike returned to his for
mer position and within an hour all
appearances Of the condition that pre-
vailed during the previous three weeks
had disappeared. Nineteen yard en-
gines put In motion under the direc-
ton of men experienced in the work
began to handle the business as in nor.
NAL times.
Every stril. ebreaker employed by
the Colorado & Southern was dis
charged. During the entire day they
arrived in steady groups from all parts
of the road and appeared at the ONCE
of Superintendent Morris to draw their
time checks. A force of Ave clerks
was kept busy from 1880 o'clock in the
morning until ten o'clock at night pay
ing the strikebreakers, and many were
turned away until morning.
Most of the strikebreakers who re-
ceived their wages have left the city,
which fact is considered by the return
ing employees as indication that the de-
mand for the differential will be
granted at the conference Tuesday. 1t
is argued that If the managers con-
templated making fight on the ques-
ton the strikebreakers would be re-
quested to remain in the city until the
conference is over.
Some OF the passenger brakemen
who were recruited from the general
offices of the company will be returned
to that service. but all others have
been turned adrift. There was some
murmuring among them because they
had not been retained after assisting
the company in time of need, but the
officials say that they had made no
promises to the recruits.

Longmont, Colo.-This August
weather is exceptionally fine for the
production of honey. and during the
last two weeks the bees have been
making up for lost time. ]. H. Taylor,
living southeast Of Longmont, who has
$50 hives of bees, has taken off al
most one-half of the honey, amounting
to 1000 pounds. Mr.. Taylor says the
bees will not pay any attention to a
chunk of pure honey laid on board
In the yard near the hives. He says
this is a good sign that the honey flow
In the fields is exceptionally good. He
ships honey to different parts of the
United States and has already made
one shipment to Joplin, Missouri.

SNAKE RIVER TENT CITY.
Camp Mainland Has Been Established
For Convenience Of Homeseekers.

Denver.-"Camp Wantland," tent
city," requiring in it's construction sew
eral carloads of canvas and tent poles,
of the Little Snake river in Routt
county, north of Lay, Colorado, twenty
miles south of the Colorado Wyoming
line. The camp is to accommodate set
tiers who are beginning to leave for
the valley to examine the $4,000 acres
of land, to be thrown open by the state
land board under the Carey act. {.
Camp Wantlend will be the mobiliza-
ton point at the lower end of the val
ley, although smaller camps will be
maintained at other points between
Lay Colorado, and Baggs, Wyoming
The canvas town will have sleeping
accommodations for 800 people, and a
dining room tent, in which $50 people
can be fed at one time.
The central camp is on the L-Seven
ranch, an old COW camp, formerly a
rendezvous for Tom Horn and his as
sociates. Historically, it is a point of
considerable interest. 1t is seventy
five miles from Wamsutter on the
main line Of the Union Pacific, and the
same distance from Steamboat Springs
on the proposed line of extension of
the Moffat road.
The valley is reached from the
Union Pacific railroad by stage from
Rawlins, Wyoming. or by automobile
lines from Wamsutter, Wyoming, over
the Moffat road from Kremmling, via
the Steamboat Springs, Craig and Lay,
over the Rio Grande by stage or wagon
route from R"e, Colorado, via Meeker.

Omaha.-'Three days from now
there will be no telegraph wires work
ing except those necessary to move
trains and to transact business neces-
sary to the incidental work of railroads,
unless some settlement is reached in
the meantime"
President Small of the Commercial
Photographers Union said this as he
passed through Omaha Friday morning
on his way from the coast to take
charge of strike operations at Chicago.
This was the first time he has had
an opportunity to talk since the strike
began.
Mr.. Small unqualifiedly approved Of
the course of the telegraphers in the
various cities in leaving their keys.
He lays the entire blame on the two
telegraph companies for their alleged
failure to keep the agreement which

dent of the Western Union, in particu-

ficulty, but in this case 1t Is not for

lustlce and Sanity.


There has been great deal said
about the unwritten law, and 1t is held
by many thinking people to justify
murder which is indefensible. True.
- life may be taken at times in self
protection without violating divine or
human law. but for deliberate homi-
eide there is no excuse whatever. 1t
is, of course, exasperating almost be-
yond endurance to have the home
despoiled by a constituencies monster
who bears the guise Of man. but courts
should deal with him in a civilized
community and give him his deserved
punishment. When a man takes the
law into his own hands and puts an
end, with malice aforethought. to one
of his fellow beings, he is simply
barbarian, no matter what cause he
has for his bloody deed. The young
man who slew the supposed wronger
of his sister in this city. says the
Boston Budget, received just SEN
tence, though there Is sorrow that he
should have thrown away his young
manhood to become a perpetual pris-
oner; but his punishment, though Sc
we're. was deserved. and 1t will act as
. deterrent on other impulsive young
men of fiery southern blood, who
might be TEMPTED to follow in his I'M
fortunate footsteps. The case Of Judge
Loving of Virginia, who was acquit-
ted by jury Of the crime of murder
partially, apparently. on the ground of
sudden insanity, and partly. no doubt.
through reverence or regard for the
lnwritten law, is one in which 1t Is
widely believed strict Justice was not
melted out. In all probability, the
young man who was shot to death by
an irate father did not commit the
deed of which he was at first suspect
ed, but even IL he did, his slayer, 1t
seems to us, should have paid some
penalty for his offence, and not have
gone entirely unwhipt of justice. Then
We have the story of a mother and son
who confessed that they killed
young man because he refused to wed
the daughter of one and the sister of
the other, thereby breaking solemn
promise that he had made. This was.
no doubt, maddening, but the provo
cation was no excuse for the homicidal
act or good moral reason for their
acquittal. When brutes walk on two
legs the law OF the land, as has been
well said, does not allow us to butcher
them. and the sooner this is realized
by those who claim the unwritten law
as defense the sooner shall We have
a return to sanity in the treatment Of
assassins.

Says City Finances Ml.manased.

Trinidad, Colo.-At special meeting
Of the City Council Auditor Harry Null
nix made partial report Of his inves-
legations of the books of the past city
administration and the Trinidad water
works system. The report states that
the finances of the city were grossly
mismanaged, but no criminal intention
was found.
The chief criticism is directed to the
sale of STE, 900 city warrants for which
an agent of the Independent Invest
ment Company OF Denver was paid a
commission of 1880 The report also
states that $500 is due the city for in
terest. The investigation extended
over a period of about ten weeks and
was conducted at a cost Of about 3d.
900 to the city.

COLORADO AS
HORSE STATE
SECRETARY WILSON BELIEVES
FINEST HORSES IN WORLD
ARE RAISED HERE.
REVELATION TO MANY
THE EAST KNOWS BUT LITTLE OF
THE WONDERFUL RESOURCES
OF THE WEST.

Denver.-"Colorado will soon be
knowns as the state where the best
horses on this continent, IL not In the
world, are raised. They will be Colo
RADIO horses, bred from the best draft,
running and trotting bloods In the
country"
So spoke Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson during the few hours
spent in Denver on his return to Wash
ington from six weeks trip through
the states of the West and Northwest.
Particularly interested in the horse
breeding experiments on the combined
government and state horse-raising
lands. in charge of the State Agrcul-
tural school at Fort Collins, Secretary
Wilson passed one day at that institu-
ton.
"A herd of colts" he continued, "as
fine as can be seen anywhere, are now
kicking up their heels at Fort Collins,
the best ever produced in this country.
The climate. and conditions in general,
are ideal for horse raising.
For several years past have been
hearing lot about Fort Collins horses,
and my western trip wouldn't have
been complete without going there.
L
the progressive steps of agricultural
men.
Il found farmers in the vicinity Of
Fort Collins making SIS an acre on u
single crop of beets. remember when
sent the people of Fort Collins dis
trict their first beet seeds. l never
dreamed then that such magnificent re-
suits would be attained"
Secretary Wilson's trip through the
West included visits to the forest re-
serves.
Fires Not So Numerous.
Fires in the reserves have been
greatly reduced in number this year."
he said, land 1t is our hope some day
completely to prevent them. In the
state of Washington $75;OOO worth of
timber within the forest reserves was
destroyed by fires las. year. and $780,,
900 was the loss in the Washington for
ests outside OF the reserves.
Forest reserves are proving valI-
able. have never heard a really good
argument against forest reserve. 1t
Is greed in a man that makes him op-
pose them. In the upper section of this
state yesterday l asked an old settler
why he objected to the reserve. He
the frankness characteristic of the set
tiers in Colorado, said, Why, 1 want to
cut down the trees and turn the tim
Der into money
THAT is the usual argument; they
want to turn the timber into money
regardless Of consequences. But the
man who looks ahead realizes the great
benefits of timber reservations.
"One thing in particular has at
tracted my attention in Colorado" con-
cluded Secretary Wilson, and that is
the cattle raised here. Steers from
Fort Collins are going to make a
strong bid for the big prizes at the
Chicago show this fall. They are go
ing to surprise stockmen all over the
country"
Secretary Wilson Is accompanied by
his son, Jasper, who acts as his private
secretary.
