The sound of his horses retreating
hoofs had scarcely died away when
the scattered cattle turned their heads
in the opposite direction, where a
great disturbance in the underbrush
had suddenly begun. With much
cracking of broken twigs and sway
ing of foliage. a horse and rider
emerged into the open. The horse
was an ordinary broncho, but the
rider could not have been duplicated
anywhere between that ranch and
the frontier 1t was a fact, a remark
ably pretty girl, in a fashionable shirt
waist and correct riding skirt, glove
less and hatless, her heavy golden
braids coiled round and round on her
shapely head.
She Immediately spied the solitary
bull in the corral.

out gayly. What a chase you've
given mel But you see, these people
have found out and shut you I'D in

Riding round to the gate, she dis

difficulty, to lower the bars; the i'm

with irritably twitching tail, and
watching the proceedings with a sus-
picious and unfriendly eye His neck
still smarted from the viciously
tightening tug of Gomez lasso, and he
was in mood to resist any further
bullying.
When the newcomer rode into the
corral he faced about and tore angri-
ly at the earth with his horns. The
girl Instantly drew rein. She had not
seen bull do this before and she felt
the first twinge of alarm. Before she
had time to turn back he had rushed
almost upon them. with head lowered
for battle.
The rider struggled with all her
young might to regain control of an
animal that bad no better instinct,
in Tending for himself, than to run
wildly in the wrong direction. 1t was
useless. Then, her wits returning to
her, she remembered her pistol, and

Cure for Criminals.

Physiological circumstances may
totally change the character, as, for
Instance, mental disease, and even a
slight injury to the brain. 1t is this
latter class of administrations by
accident-that has so far come under
surgical treatment. There is no rea-
sen why we should not :ttempt the
same operation on those congenitally
deformed-that is. on the typical pro-
fessional criminal, whom so far all
methods of reform and all varieties
and measures of punishment have
failed to cure.-Dr. Hollander, in
Strand Magazine.

In the Circuit Court yesterday W.
C. Pope. was acquitted OF the charge
of stealing horse and buggy from
the farm OF Commissioner OF the
Revenue Harry W. Booker. The evi.
dencc submitted to the jury Was not
convincing and the jury was out only
a few minutes when the verdict OF

as Mr.. Booker expressed the hope that
the man would not De severely punish.
ed. He has been in Jail nearly four
months. Pope sold the horse and
buggy while on spree, and declared
that he thought he had right to do
so as he was managing Mr. Booker's
farm.

attorney for the accused man and
Judge Montague represented the
state.
Following the aCquittal Judge Robin
son ordered Sheriff Curtis to hold

state for stealing a horse. buggy ant.
harness. Friends of the family are
making every attempt to settle the
case in Maryland and to secure the
release Of the man from Jail.
Richard Blue, cOlOred. was tried on
the charge OF seduction. but before
the main witness completed her testi-
mony, commemorative Attorney
Montague asked the jury to dismiss
The case. Mr.. Collier was the at
tOrney for Blue.
Tomorrow the cases of Belle Harris
and Teagle Johnson. indicted for fe-
lOnies. will be heard by the court
Sheriff Curtis last night received 4
Telegram from Sheriff c. r. TOwnSen,.,

QUESTION papers can be prepared and

him to Maryland. Pope IL charged

Summary of Re-
turns From Argus
Extra Edition

X. h. Reynolds, candidate for states
attorney made the great race on the
democratic ticket iii Rock Island. H.
Il. Wheelan rs had at all times in the
campaign been expected. had no diff
Guilty in carrying the county for the
place as minority representative. His
only possible opponent was Harry NJ
McCaskrin, OH the prohibition ticket.
and while McCaskrin polled a good
vote in some precincts, he did not en-
danger Wheelan at any point.
While Mr.. Reynolds carried Rock
Island easily, he lost by heavy mar
gins in Moline, and his vote here it is
feared is not sufficient to overcome
the lead of Magill in Moline, with an
even break in the country precincts.
1t may be said that the defeat of
Reynolds was due to the weight of
the republican national ticket. Ma
gill and his friends at all times fought
for a straight party vote, and even
went so far as to misrepresent the
law in order to induce voters to cast
straight ballot. In spite of this eff,
fort, however, the tickets were
scratched literally, and Reynolds car
ried the majority of the scratched
tickets.
O'IIcrn Made Good Showing.
DR.. NJ. J. O'Hern, the democratic
candidate for the Office of coroner,
though defeated from the indications
of the returns obtainable, made fine
showing, and that he, too. suffered
from the straight party vote" teach
ings is evident. DR.. O'Hern was pre-
vented. by professional duties. from
making an extensive campaign as
he desired. Wherever he spoke, how
ever. his arguments bore fruit, and
scratched ballots in his favor were the
result. The fact seems to have been,
however. that the average voter over
looked the Importance of this Office in
the consideration of the candidates for
the national and state places.

More Complete Returns Show MasiIl
and Rose to Have Won by
Small PluraIities.

Never has the count of ballots been
slower than in Rock Island yesterday.
The extensive scratching made the
task an almost endless one. and this
was particularly true in few pre-
cincts where the election board was
composed of men who had not had ex-
perience in the work before in sew
eral of the precincts it was after 8
O'Clock before the count was finished.
and in one it was not till Sis that the
last figures were totalled and the
board left the polling place In an
other 1t was daylight before the work
was finished The same condition
that existed here was found in almost
every precinct of the county, although
in Zone did the work continue so late.
About as Indicated.
The later returns do not alter the
situation in the county to any great
extent. The figues, which are still
incomplete in some respects, show
that L. NJ. Magill of Moline defeated
X. r. Reynolds. the democratic can
didate for states attorney by COM
paratively small plurality, and that
John Rose of Moline was carried into
the office of coroner by the straight
republican vote. defeating DR.. NJ J.
