SILENT FOR YEARS
PEARS TO AID WIFE.
Modern Enoch Arden Kept Informed
of Affairs at Home Even While
Wandering in Strange Lands.

No Enoch Arden of fiction ever
played more perfect role than the
Rev. John Taggart who returned this
week to Glen Lyon, Pa, and rescued
,, the wife of his youth from life Of
poverty and disgrace brought on her
/ through a second marriage. The
wife, her son. Elmer, by her first
husband, and a daughter of Is years,
and son of seven, by her second mar
riage, will leave, in few days, for
the West, where they will begin life
anew. John Van Horn, the woman S
second husband, is serving sentence
in Jail on conviction OF domestic
crime in which, Elmer Taggart, was
the complainant and the charge was
base offense against the person Of
his halr-sister.
John Tageart's history is, strange
one. Some 20 years ago ne was a
young Methodist minister at Glenn
Lyon. He was loved by his flock.
handsome, a pulpit orator Of abili-
ty, young man Of promise. Fle
loved and married Miss Eliza lvey
one of the prettiest maidens Of
Bloomsbury. Pa, but their romance
was not happy. Soon after their son,
Elmer. was born, gossip drove the
young father from his home. He
declares his trouble was more tnan
any man could bear. After few
years he decided to return and take
up life anew with his wife, but then
he learned his bride believed him
dead and had married another.
Rather than return home and
make more trouble, Taggart began
to travel. He visited points in the
North, South, East and West. even
spending much time as painter
and paper hanger in the Hawaiian
islands. He also preached in many
Pacific coast towns, and in all these
travels he managed to keep in touch
with affairs at home. Some time
ago, how, he will not tell, Taggart
learned of the disgrace that had
come on his wife and family through
the crime of her second husband.
He learned that they were in poverty
and that the future of her children
had been ruined. Here. Taggart
showed himself the man and offered
20 bring them, out. VanHorn agreed
not 10 cause any trouble in case his
wife Joined her first husband, whom
she believed to have been drowned in
the JOhnstown flood.

-FOUR ARE DEAD
And Many Injured in a Queer
Accident.
CYCLE RUNS AMUCK
During a Bicycle Race at Berlin,
Germany, on Sunday, n Motor Cy-
Gle Exploded After Running Away
Carrying Death and Panic into the
Large Crowd of Spectators.
Large Crowd of Spectators.

At Berlin, Germany. on Sunday,
four persons were killed, more than
twenty seriously injured and dozen
others slightly injured, as the result
of the explosion of motor cycle and
fire which followed it during a cy-
Gle race at the Botanic Gardens Sum
day evening.
Thousands of spectators had gath
cred around the track, which was
opened for the first time few days
ago. During an endurance race, the
tire of one of the pacemakers motor
cycle burst and the rider lost control.
The benzine exploded in a burst Of
fame and the machine leaped into
the air. The rider was thrown against
other competitors. So terrific was
the speed of the motor cycle that it
continued on its course after the e1-
plosion, crashing into the public
stand, hurting spectator right and
left, and setting on fire several Wo-
mems dresses.
Two women were instantly killed
and their bodies, saturated with
flaming benzine, were burned to Gin
ders. The wooden stand caught fire,
and the flames flashed in the faces Of
bystanders, who, with clothing ablaze
rushed about shrieking with pain and
fear.
A panic ensued, in which great
number of persons. including child
rem, were badly trampled. Eighteen
men and four women were seriously
injured, two of whom having since
died. The hospital surgeons say that
several others are in hopeless condi-
ton.

R0BBER A WOMAN
HER BRIEF DIARY TELLS AN IN
TERESTING STORY.
California Girl Could Not Endure
Living With These Who Cared for
Her-She Turned Cowboy.

Arrested on a charge of burglar
izing the residence of Mrs. W. P.
Girvin and placed under $4,000 bail.
Mrs. Jean Thurnherr broke her re-
ticence in Berkley, Cal, this waek.
and confessed that for the past five
years she has been living the life of
cowboy. The court proceedings
which brought forth the womans s
life history showed that she was for
merly Miss Bessie Barclay, adopted
daughter of Judge and Mrs. Barclay.
She declares she was happy in child
hood but everything seemed to break
when she learned that the judge was
not her father and Mrs. Barclay, who
was more than kind, was not her
mother. The girl was then Is years
old. She left the Barclay home and
in the past five years she has lived
the life of COW puncher, elevator
man, errand boy and sailor.
According to her story Mrs. Thurn-
herr was never suited for life as
girl. Her diary says:
"But had never been as other
girls. I loved the games of boys
and not the pastimes of the girls.
| hated girls clothing with all its
fuss and muss. When was a little
thing mamma used to let me romp
in boys overalls and cried every
time she put me into dress
Having learned as girl to ride
on the Spanish ranches outside OF
Los Angeles, Bessie Barclay deter
mined to break horses for livell-
hood. To this end she applied to
Senor Sanchez, rich Spanish ranch
er, who heard the diminutive girl
ask for work breaking horses with
the greatest glee.
Her story goes on to tell how she
managed the first bronco and then
left for the wilds OF Arizona, Utah
and Mexico There she was once
shot in the shoulder and feared her

she managed to get we'll and did not
need to lay long.
Later she left the cattle country
and came North. Judge Barclay
sought that she return home to live
with him but instead she married
and continued her life as man.
Later she heard Of the death OF her
foster mother and made the follow
ing note in her diary: 81 cannot
write of the sorrow her death caus-
ed me. l suppose that the shock OF
this sort of thing was necessary to
show me that have duties as
daughter-though only the adopted
daughter of motherless household.

fill those duties instead Of trying to
curb my venturesome spirit in re-
form school. But there's no use
in pretending otherwise-it's boys
life and a boys opportunities and
above all the wide. free life OF the
mountain range that appeals most
to me-"

THE ADAMS CASE
TON MAN MUST SERVE
~" O9
LIFE SENTENCE.
He Has Been Before the Supreme
Court for Six Years on Murder
Charges but Loses Out.

SnaFScS DuC fOSCS ouI'
The States says the supreme court
has rendered decision in the ia
nous case of the State against R. O..
Adams of Colleton. 1t will be re-
called that few weeks ago an order
was issued dismissing the petition
for another hearing and the decision
rendered a few days ago simply
gives the reasons of the court for this
action.
The Adams case has been in the
courts since | 902 and three times has
he been under death sentence ard in
an interval he escaped and reward
of $1,000 was offered for his cap
ture. Adams was tried for the mur-
der of Henry Jacques and convicted
and sentenced to be hanged. The
decision was affirmed by the supreme
court and an order issued for his
resentence When the case came
back to the circuit court Judge
Townsend granted new trial on
the ground of after-discovered evil
dence. From this the State appealed
on the ground that the circuit court
had no jurisdiction but must obey
the mandate of the higher court and
resentence the defendant.
This contention was upheld by the
supreme court again and another
order issued for his resentence. In
the meantime an order was obtain
ed from one of the supreme court
justices, staying the remittur, in or
der that a motion might be made, al
lowing the supreme court to order
new trial on the ground OF after
discovered evidence. This hearing
was en- banc and the order reversed
and his resentence demanded again.
In the meantime Adams escaped
from Jail and was in hiding for sew
eral weeks. Gov. Hayward and citi-
zens of Coleton offered rewards ag-
gregating $1,000 for his capture.
An effort was made by some to get
the governor to offer a reward Tor
his body, dead or alive. but this
he refused to do. taking the stand
that Adams was probably somewhere
in Colleton and under the circum-
stances it would simply be olllciai
murder. Finally Adams gave himself
up TO the shriff and The fight in the
courts continued.
A strong petition was presented 10
Gov. Hayward and referred to the
State pardon board by him some time
ago. This petition held that his SEN
tencc should be commuted to lie
IMPRISONMENT and on the showing
made the board recommended favor
able action, which was approved by
Gov. Ansel.
The final appeal to the supreme
court to reopen the case was based
on the supposition that the court
had since its first ruling reversed
itself in the case of the State against
Lee and had allowed the circuit court
Jurisdiction in granting new trial
after the court had ordered sentence
to be passed. The supreme court,
however, overruled the points rais-
ed and dismissed the petition, Adams
has been brought to the pcnltentiary
and unless there is executive clemen-
cy will serve life term.
