MEMPHIS, Tenn, April IT,
Mother love does strange things.
Mrs. Josephine Wait, pretty,
"a, mother of two little children,
had domestic troubles back in
Rolla, Mo. Her husband, twice
her age, decided upon divorce. He
deprived her of her children.
The wife brooded. Her troubles
made her respondent. She cried
hours for her children. Finally
she fled from her woes. She came
hero.
Although she had turned her
back on her sorrows, they haunt
ed her, haunted her constantly.
She could not forget-the chill
dren, the once happy home and
the once-loving husband.
Something snapped in her
brain, they say. At any rate, she
craved excitement. So
She organized in Memphis a
gang of boy burglars. They took
fearful vows, carried huge pis-
tolls, wore black masks. She
adopted male attire and led them
on burglar raids. They called
her "Silver Heels"
The gang burglarized dozens
of places. The police were baf-
fled. Every morning developed
more cribs cracked in the night.
Finally
The police caught her. She

SPECIAL OFFICER
ON THE FRACE
MYSTERY

A special officer will be detail
ed on the Frace murder mystery,
according to orders issued yester-
day by the county commissioners.
After receiving communication
from the chamber of commerce, in
which the commissioners were
asked to add to the 1000 reward
already offered, the board DELHI
Grated some time, finally deciding
that to appoint a special officer,
with loose rein and prepared to
follow down any possible clue,
would be the more practicable.

'confessed-all the gang was
rounded up before night.
At first they couldn't fathom
the woman. She had no criminal
endencies-this well-educated
woman Fagin. She wouldn't
help them-she confessed respon-
sibility for the epidemic of bur-
glaries. Then
One day the matron brought a
little child into the cell house. 1t
was the baby son of one of the
other women prisoners. Some
thing snapped in "Silver Heels -
head again.
She cast herself down on her
cot, in a flood of tears. "My
babies, my babies" she walled.
The matron drew out her story
Then
Jos. e. Wait, the husband,
came ON from Missouri. He mort
gagged his farm to bail her out
He took her back into his heart
The authorities, although they
have sent some of the boy bur
glars to reformatories, are not
disposed to prosecute "Silvel
Heels" They pity her, realize
that her sorrow undermined hei
sense Of right, dependency made
of her a thief. The case against
her will likely be dropped
Then
Wait will take her back to
Rolla, back to her children.

 Shortages Shown

NEW YORK, December 2-The tes. timony in today's session of the sugar fraud case disclosed that the prosecu. ton was hampered by missing witness. es.

 "To secure these shows" states Al eXander, "it will be necessary for me to put up a cash guarantee of $l,2OO for each show.
 ''lf can secure pledges for the sale of seats to these shows to the amount of 5000, exactly half of the guarantee, l will secure all of these productions.
 T intend to start a canvass today and find out just how the people of Globe stand regarding high class shows and if they support me, Globe will see better theatrical performances this year than ever before. "

Will Receive Sentence This Afternoon for Stabbing
 Countryman
TORRANCE JOHNSON
 DRAWS FIVE YEARS
Trial of Mrs. Beck Sched- uled for Today-Other
 Court Matters

Frank Kchikawa, who wounded B, Togo, both Japanese, in nine places by stabbing him with knife, several weeks ago, was found guilty of assault with deadly weapon, in the district court late yesterday afternoon.
 The verdict carried with it recom' mendation for the clemency of the court, however, and as a result, it is probable that the Japanese will escape with a fairly light sentence.
 A motion for new trial will be ar. gued at 1:30 this afternoon, after which sentence is scheduled to be inn posed.
 B. Togo, the complaining witness, failed to appear in court when the trial was called yesterday and an attachment was issued for him. When he was final ly brought into court he was declared to be in contempt and fined 50.
 George Kubata, who suffered from a similar lapse of memory, drew a like fine.
 Draws Five Years
 Torrance Johnson, who was convicted of having had improper relations with Lillie Smith, young coiored girl, was sentenced to five years in the territorial prison yesterday.
 J. S. King, who took an appeal to the district court after having been con victed in the justice court of stealing lumber from J. $. Russel, entered plea of guilty yesterday morning.
 He escaped with a fine of $25.
 Tom Polk, an Indian charged with grand larceny, was discharged on motion of the district attorney, who held that there was insufficient evidence in the case to warrant a trial.
 On motion of counsel, the trial of Guadalupe Rodriguez, charged with was continued for the term.
 Will Try Mrs. Beck
 The trial of Mrs. Marjory Beck, with an assault with intent to commit murder upon Miss Charlotte Palm. is scheduled 10 be taken up today and as the calendar has been practical ly cleared up 10 date. this trial will probably be commenced this morning.
 This case promises to attract much attention and may be a lengthy affair.
 Demurrer Again overruled
 For the second time, a demurrer in the suit of B. F. Crawford vs. Max C. Bonne and the Globe Wholesale Meat company, has been sustained.
 When Bonne disposed of his interest in local meat market to Crawford some time ago, he did so on an agreement that he would not engage in that line of business for five years. This con tract was covered by bond in the sum of $lO,000.
 When he again entered in the busi. ness, in the Pioneer market, suit was filed against him to recover on the bond. A demurrer was sustained and a second complaint filed, with the re- suit that the demurrer to the amended complaint has also been sustained
 Bonne claims that he is not in busi- ness for himself, but is working as an employe of J. N. Porter, owner of the Pioneer market
 The plaintiff was given thirty days in which to file anotlAr amended com. plaint. Stoneman & Jacobs represent the plaintiff, with Rawlins & Little ap. bearing for the defendants.

There was considerable accumula- ton of Keewenaw today. North Butte was slightly weaker.
 All indications are for a traders market, as several big deals have yet to be consummated, and pending their result, the market will likely fuctuate within a five point range.
