Two states-Temessee and Mary-
lalld--clalm the birthplace of the in
'chtor, James Bowie, and the oucs-
'loh has never been quite definitely
settled. But he gave the name to u
weapon as deadly as any that has
ever been forged from steel.
When Louisiana became a state the
ola Spanish and French records ere
ated a great deal of trouble. It fire.
q"ehtly happened that a planter who
llao taken up a large tract of land
ana fairly opened ii out as planto-
llon would learn that it was claimed
oE some one under an old Colonial
grant. James Bowie was a verv fre-
qoeht claimant under these old laws.
Several capitalists of the time had
sent HIM to Havana, where the old
papers OF the Spanish colony Of Lou
'Slana were kept, and caused careful
transcripts Of them to be made. They
appointed as their agent to put them
III possession Of these properties
James Bowie. In these early dovs il
ana not take much provocation to
Drlng on personal encounter, as q
hight to the death was euphoniouslv
entitled. ~ man who had been to tho
trouble and expense Of opening up an
estate only to find it claimed by a
lot OF people he did not know was
generally pretty ready to fight for it,
whether fight would settle the uues
ton or not. The consequence of this
state OF things was that James Bowie
and his two brothers, Stephen and
ha%ln, had on hand almost constantly
some sort or "diilculty' that had
to be fought out with deadly weapons.
This was before the days when per-
cuSslon caps were in general use, and
the smaller pistols Of the period were
fllntlocks-inconvcniem to carry and
not very reliable. So the knife had to
be used when one wanted really
trusty weapon.
James Bowie set to work and with
pocket knife and shingle he made a
modcl of the kind of knife that he be-
lleved was about the proper thing for
the business he had on hand. The first
bowie" was mad. by the local
blacksmith at Shreveport, La, after
the model furnished by James Bowie
and II was used by him for several
years. About 1880, however, Bowie
heard Of Il New Orleans cutler, a
Sp"nlard named Pedro, who was max
ING knives of a wonderful kind and
temper. They could he driven through
silver dollar without damage to
point or edge. This artist made
Bowie knife which was a marvel of
beauty and temper. The blade was
nlne inches long, and, with the han
die, measured fifteen inches. This
weapon was used with telling effect
by Bowie in ninet cen different ell
counters and it was the one in his
stltfcncd hand when, with six dead
MrXlcans about him showing the cvi-
dencc OF his fatal skill. he was found
i! dead at the Alamo.
Bowie s method Of using the knife
was one peculiar to himself. He did
not hold it in his hand with the point
downward, but eraspcd the handle as
swordsman would grasp the hilt Of
his sword. He always struck at the
neck of his man and aimed for the
JuGular, and seldom missed hsi COUP,

a talk between the official and Rosen-

orderd the work to be stopped. Mackinson
hunted up Chairman Herman Freye, of tire

with the Councilman from the ward. Mr..

MAKE CARD BET: POLICE
Referee: WI LOCKED UP
Said Saloonkeeper Played Trick-Court
Holds Cards and Magnifying Glass.
Men Paroled.

John Clrillo. 81 years old, of 2O2 Fourth
avenue. Brooklyn, came to this city on
business yesterday afternoon and while
here dropped into the saloon kept by Sc
bastian Cappiello, 80 years old, at 2S
Eighth avenue, and began playing cards
for drinks. He lost nearly every game,
and he thereupon accused CappieAo of
having marked the cards. The saloon
keeper denied that they were marked and
the Brooklynite offered to bet 500 that
they were marked.
Cappiello took the bet and both went
to the Second Precinct Police station to
have the sergeant decide the bet. Ebert
happened to be on duty and he locked
both men up. They were paroled until
this morning.
When they were arraigned before Judge
Herr today in the Second Precinct Court
Cirillo was asked to show the cards that
were marked. He then got a magnifyine
glass and began examining the BACKS OF
them. Every once in a while he woulc
show a card to the court, stating that i
had a red mark upon it. Not one Of the
half dozen or more which he claimed were
marked could Judge Herr find mutilatec
in my way whatever, and as far as marks
went he was unable to discover a single
one of them even under the glass.
He then paroled the men for e&amina'
ton next Monday morning. He also helc
the cards and the money.
When Cirillo first produced the magnify.
ing glass Judge Herr took it and tried L
magnify" the two 500 ~greenbacks which
lay before him. but he failed. They at
tracted more attention han anything else

WANTS TO Die
HOMELESS WOMAN. AGED
e5, GOES TO POOR HOUSE.
Sad Plight of Mrs. Mary Dougherty
Revealed in East Orange Po-
lice Station Today.

Mrs. Mary Dougherty, who said she was
95 years old, told a sad story in the East
Orange Police Court this morning, where
she was brought after an attempt had
been made last night TO find for her the
home of her son-in-law at Warrington.
Her husband Inc daughter are dead and
she said she had no one to go to.
Il wish to God I we're dead!" exclaimed
the aged woman TO Overseer of the Poor
John ]. Moore this morning. when he was
arranging to nave her sent to the Orange
poor farm.
For about thirty-hve years the woman
has been struggling alone to get long in
the world and was at various times given
food and a sleeping place in Orange end
East Orange. Everybody seemed to tire
of caring for the aged woman, and yes
terday John Lodi, of III Lodi road, War
rington, who is doinB some carpenter
work in East Orange, tooA her up TO
Warrington to try and locate her son-in-
law. They searched around the place to-
gether Inc finally learned that the SON
in-law had moved away only yesterday.
Then the long trip back to East Orange
was begun and Mr.. Lodi and the aged
woman reached the station house at 10
o'clock. Chief Bell placed a rocking chair
in a cell and the woman spent the night
there.
With the loss of her only daughter and
her husband. Mrs. Dougherty told the po-
lice her life was empty and she wanted
ito go to another world"
The police fed her gloriously, and 1t is
probable she will spend her remaining
days on a poor farm.
