SAY ROBBER IS
FLEENOR'S PUPIL
BURGLAR CHOICE IN WHAT HE
TAKES
Police Suspect Man Guilty of Recent
Thefts Is Following in the Foot
steps of the Barefoot
Burglar

A robber who has closely studied the
work of J. c.. Fleenor, the barefoot
burglar, and endeavoring to initiate
him, is now at work in Los Angeles,
according to the police, and If what the
detectives say is true, the department
has an even more daring and cunning
individual to cope with than 1t had i'll
the case of the gigantic negro.
Fleenor's work gave an idea of the
class of man who did it, say the po-
lice, while the work of his pupil
shows no signs by which the thief could
be identified. In the methods he pur-
sues in gaining entrance to houses, the
smooth cracksman is shown, and the
nerve he has exhibited on several occa-
sions shows that he is a man of more
than ordinary nerve.
Since Fleenor's arrest the numberNof
burglaries that have been reported to
the police has decreased, and until
about week ago it was thought by
the police that no professional burglar
was operating in Los Angeles. Then
marked increase was noticed in the
number of robberies reported and in
almost every case the work appeared to
be that of the same man.
FIeenor Took Everything
When Fleenor was operating it was
noticed that anything of value was
taken. Toilet sets, razors, cutlery and
even glassware were carried off by the
negro, but the new one scorns every
thing but money or jewelry of an eX-
ceptional value. At several jobs he has
passed over valuable jewelry after eX-
amining it, and appeared to be salts
fled with a small amount of money.
This makes it hard for the police to
gain any trace of him. as 1t Is improb-
able he will pawn any of the expensive
articles he takes in Los Angeles, but
will ship them to the east.
This robber does not hesitate to visit
bed rooms which are occupied while
prowling around at nights, and has
several times been seen by the occu-
pants of the rooms while leaving.
From the slight descriptions the par
ties who saw the man have been able
TO give the police he is said to be a
large man, weighing about l6O pounds.
He is said to be white, and fairly tall.
He is known to go heavily armed, as in
two cases when he was seen reVolVers
were noticed in his coat pockets.
The detectives are doing all IN their
power to land the man, and 1t VIII be
a feather in the cap of the successful
officer Fleenor worked here for more
than year before he was caught. how
ever, and it is feared his successor may
be equally lucky before he makes some
break which will disclose his identity
to the department.

OF CIRCULAR SAW
James Heath of TOrrey Meets With
Horrible Accident at Saw
mill at Nntam

Richfield, Nov. H.-WOrd has been re-
ceiVed from TOrrey, Wayne county, of a
terrible accident that occurred near Not
am, at a saWmiIl belonging to Galemen &
Forsyth of TOrrey. James Heath and
Samuel Galemen were working in the
mill alone, which is about three miles
up the canyon from Teasdale. In some
way Mr.. Heath fell on a circular saw,
and before he could be removed his body
was almost severed Mr.. Galemen was
the only person with him at the time and
to make it worse there were no horses
to be had and he was compelled to leave
the unfortunate man alone and walk
three miles to town for assistance. On
the return of the party they were sur
prised to find Heath still alive and, plac-
ing him in a buggy they brought him to
Torrey and medical assistance was sum-
moned from Richfield. DR.. Hamilton re-
sponded and found the patient very weak
from loss of blood. The doctor extracted
two ribs and sewed up the wound, and
reports the patient getting along as well
as could be expected although he holds
out no hope for his recovery.

HOW HE BROKE SILENCE.
youths Companion.)

1t was real hardship for Judge
Brown to have to keep silent for any
length of time. Even when travelling
he usually found some one who would
at least listen while he talked. But or
one occasion he found himself in z
railway coach with only one other oc-
cupant-a stiff, dignified old lady. who
did not deign even to look at him wher
he raised his hat upon entering The
coach.
The judge grew restless after they
had Travelled several miles. He
drummed on the window. cOughed sew
eral times, then finally, in desperation
cleared his throat and asked in stem
torian tone:
Madame. did it ever occur to you tc
wonder whether il had ever rained any
before the time of the flOod?"
The unusual question startled the
old lady out of her dignified silence and
the two old people were soon engaged
in animated conversation.

DYSPEPSIA CAN BE EASILY
REMEDIED.

Dyspepsia is generally looked on
as a disease much the same as
numerous other ailments that the
human system is heir to, but as a
matter of fact it stands in a class
by itself and theoretically is not a
disease at ALL but d deficiency Of
the chemicals by which digestion
is produced, although the results of
dyspepsia on the system are such1
that a long line of constitutional
diseases are easily traceable to it
as a primary cause. 1t is frequent
" styled by medical teachers as the
Mother of maladies.'
There have been several entirely
new methods recently for supply
ing the chemical digestive fluids
which are deficient, and thus diges-
ton is accomplished artificially in
the stomach, thus allowing that or
gan a complete rest. which, in a
short time, if the treatment is adj
hered to. will restore it to its full
vitality and activity.
A well known specialist on stom-
ach troubles says that the best
formula for this purpose is as fol-
lows; 1.-TWO ounces Essence of
Pepsin; three ounces Syrup of
Ginger; one ounce Catandir Com
pound; mix these and use in doses
of from one to two teaspOohfuls
after each meal. also at bedtime for
the first few days. the ingredi-
ents can be had at any well stocked
pharmacy and it makes a mixture
pleasant to take and probably the
most effective known to science
for restoring the stomach and bow
Ell tracts to their normal function.

ABSURD STORIES CURRENT IN

st. Petersburg, Nov. 2S.-As a result
of the fact that Washington has cabIed
Secretary Taft, requesting him to has
ten his return to the United States.
the secretary, who is coming across
the trans-Siberian railroad and is due
Rt Moscow next Saturday. has sent a
telegram TO Montgomery Schuyler, jr.,
the American charge d'affaires, asking
him if possible to arrange the audience
with Emperor Nicholas so as to ena-
bic Mr.. Taft to leave st. Petersburg
the afternoon of Dec. 4, instead of the
night of Dec. 5. as provided for in the
original schedule.
Mr.. Taft says that he must catch the
steamer President Grant. which will
sail from Hamburg Dec. Z, and that if
he leaves St. Petersburg on the 9th,
even the closest connections viii make
II hardly possible for him to get to
Hamburg in time.
Some Fantastic Ideas.
The visit of Secretary Taft has given
an impetus to the stream of Russians
who come to the American embassy
to volunteer their services for the sup
posedly impending Japanese-AmeTican
war. The idea has gotten such a hold
on the people that some officers have
even taken steps to organize companies
of volunteers. Mr.. Schuyler is resort
ing to the Russian press to deny the
possibility of any trouble with Japan,
and consequently of the need of vOlun-
toers.
The most absurd stories regarding
secretary TaftS mission to Russia
are in general circulation As an ex-
ample, there is published a tale that
the secretary is authorized to arrange
for the statiOning of two Russian
army corps in the Philippine islands,
and one American corps at VladivOs-
tok. and that he already has engaged
several Russian officers at high sala-
ries for this service.
Dispatches from Toxic declare that
Japan, on her own initiative, has
marked the graves of the Russian sol
diers who died while prisoners of war
with granite headstones. All the news
papers comment favOrably on this evil
dence of the friendship of Japan.
