,-c.mes-1app saw magnificent brooch
slip from the lady's dress anr fall to
he floor. 1t had scarcely touched
the carpet when the old man darted
from his place of co3ce:,,nent, seized
it, and with chuckle thrust it into
his pocket. D.. a.,
Just as ] thought" said Mr.. Tapp,
and without moments hesitation he,
too, sprang forth, seized the old man
as he was making off, and held him in
grip of iron. .@. -.
Now, then" he hissed, nearly
throttling the old chap. ITS no good
resisting or kicking up a row. You'd
better come along quietly. I've had
my eye on you all the evening, and
I've caught you in the act," and be-
fore the aged one could say anything
"a difficult If not impossible matter
under the circumstances, seeing that
/ he had as much as he could do to get
his breath-he' was hauled through q
back door, thrust into a cab, and con-
veyed to the nearest police station.
The following morning Mr.. Tapp,
feeling exceedingly pleased with him
self, waited on the duchess and made
his report. To add to the general ef-
feet he embroidered the somewhat
bald narrative with a few artistic de-
tails which had their source in his fer
tile imagination. =.
HE made a terrible struggle, your
grace, for he's a wonderfully powerful
man considering his age, and l had
all my work cut out to overpower him.
But l managed it, your grace, and
managed it, I'm glad to say, without
attracting attention or causing a scan
dal, thing which / know your grace
would have disliked above ali things.
The duchess listened attentively,
and encouraged by this Mr.. Tapp
seized the opportunity to pull up the
curtain on yet another scene In the
exciting drama.
HE struck out like a madman," he
continued, "hit and bit and scratched.
I'm covered with bruises and have al
most lost the use of my right hand.
But wouldn't let him CO. he added,
with modest pride; Il stuck to him
like leech."
:. At that moment the duchess private
secretary entered and whispered some
thing in her ear, whereupon she got
up and the two left the room together.
A moment later the private secretary
returned alone.
Her grace desires, to say, Mr.. Tapp,
that she is exceedingly interested in
the narrative you have just related
with such elocutionary skill"
Mr.. Tapp bowed.
"And she wishes to say that the
composition of the story reflects the
greatest skill upon your imaginative
faculties
MIR. Tapp locked sston:sEed.
"Unfortunate!y TIE statements you
have made are not borne out by the
actual facts" 5
MIR. Tapp looked still more aston
ished. ~s .''..
THE old gentleman you captured
with such apparent difficulty happens
to be nearly ninety years of age, and
he is so infirm since his recent illness
that he is almos. unable to walk or
speak. Your furious prisoner is' In
short, no less a person than the. duke
of Oldmarket, and the diamond brooch
he picked up happened to fall from
the dress of his eldest daughter, Lady
CYNTHIA Paddington. If l were you,

opened the door, Il should retire from

LAND SUITS KNOCKED OUT.
Demurrers In Oklahoma Title Cases
Started Are Sustained.

Muskogee. Okla. - Judge Ralph
Campbell has sustained the demur-
rers in the suits brought by the
United States to set aside various
deeds and leases made by citizen allot-
tees In the five civilized tribes in
eastern Oklahoma, and thus settled
legal controversy that had been the
cause of considerable concern in that
part of the state.
The court reviewed the relation Of
the United States to the five tribes
since they became a nation, and found
that no vestige of title to the lands
allotted them now remains in the
United States. The demurrers in
volved the question of the citizenship
of these Indians and the court de-
clared them to be citizens of the
United States with all the rights, priv
ileges and immunities of citizenship.
1t is held that the United States can
not maintain these suits on the prjp-
ciple that it sustains to the individuap
Indian trust relation, such guardian
ship being Incompatible with citizen
ship, national and state.
Finally the bills were held bad
becaue numerous defendants are
joined in each bill who were con-
nected with many distinct transac-
tons regarding as many distinct
tracts of land

LOSS OF LIFE IN GREAT FLOOD
WILL REACH INTO MANY
HUNDREDS.

Town-Finincial Loss Esti-
mated 7 to IL Millions.

Monterey. Mexico.-The destructive
food, due to the continuous fall of
rain for the past So hours. swept
everything before 1t and hardly a YES!
tige is left of the village of Monterey,
which a few days ago swarmed with
families belonging to the poorer
classes.
1t has stopped raining at last for
the first time since last Thursday
afternoon, and some idea of the hor-
rors of the flood of Friday night and
Saturday could be obtained.
1t was at first reported that 500
lives were lost in the disaster, but
now show that the number of dead
has reached 1900 and may be more.
The river has fallen considerably, and
while still high the danger now Is
over.
Fully $4,000 people are homeless in
the food district and are being cared
for by the attorney general. At noon
5000 people were given bread, coffee
and soup, at the municipal stations,
but there are many more on the
south side of the river still out Of
reach of the aid offered. The prop
erty loss is placed at $20,000,000
throughout the city.
All through the day and up to late
at night, the bodies have been taken
from the debris and ruins in the path
of the food and over 500 have been
recovered.
The greatest loss of life occurred
Saturday morning between the hours
of 9 and IL o'clock when the large
buildings on the south side of the
| river commenced to crumble and fall.
In one school building Of the south
side of the river, 90 women and chill
dren were drowned when the walls Of
the building collapsed This was one
| of the most pathetic incidents of the
| flood. Two priests were with them
and while in the act of blessing them
the walls fell and the whole 80 were
| swallowed up in the flood.
| The main water supply pipe from
| the Estansuela reservoir was broken,
and the city is absolutely without
drinking water, and it will be several
days before the leak can be repaired.
| Street car traffic has been abandoned
after two or three Intellectual attempts

Chicago, Illinois.-A proposal that
the city of Chicago consider George

of a comprehensive subway system
costing $80,000,000, will be made by
Mayor Busse to the city council this
fall No tentative ordinance outlining
the terms of prospective agreement

son, president of the corporation bear
ing his name, said he is ready to take
the first step leading toward the draft
ing of such a franchise and the petit
ton of formal request to the city.
This first step will be communica
ton asking the council to give Mayor
Busse the power to appoint a commit
tee to investigate the ability of the
corporation to carry out plan OF a
complete subway system
Roughly the plans contemplate the
construction of so miles OF subway
with about IL miles in the town quar-,
tiers. The routes include three to the
south, one to the southwest, two to
the west, one to the northwest and
two to the north.
Mr.. Jackson asserted some time ego

feasible plan for building a subway
railway in Chicago
