Strange Reward For Life savers.
 ''I have seen good many drowning accidents." said an old sea captain, land I have seen a good many queer rewart,s. Once a young A1han ,rsscGed young widows little soh from the sea. The widow. in her gratitude. asked for the young mans photograph. He sent it to her, and two months later he received magnificent painting, by Smith, that showed the scene of the rescue accurately. with the little boy and him, both perfect hkenesses, strug- gling like mad In the water.
 "A farmer, one of the Pinkertons told me, came from the west to meet a gold brick man. As the farmer and the swindler crossed on the ferry the swindler fell overheard, and the farmer rescued him. He was so grateful that he gave the farmer brick of solid silver.
 'I saved pretty girl from drowning in my youth" the captain ended. "Shs gave me a present that weighed 130 pounds She gave me herself, and I've still got her. She may, not be in as good condition now assshe, was then, but in my eyes son1sh6Iz she is as sweet and pretty as sheiever was-"- Philadelphia Bulletin

From J.11 to the Bench

Francis Pemberton q0259D was im- prisoned in the Fleet for debts con tracted during period of youthful ex- travagance. While in jail he applied himself to the study of law and came to be regarded as kind of legal oracle by his fellow prisoners, who nicknamed him Counselor. With the fees they gave him for legal advice he bought books to continue bis studies He then prevailed upon his creditors to grant his release from prison that he might the sooner earn money to pay off his debts. Called to the bar in 1854, after a brilliant career in the palace court at Westminster and subsequently in the house of lords, he became puisne judge. He was knishted in 1875 and ultimately, on the dismissal of Scroggs. was made lord chief justice in 1881.

SAVED FROM MOOSE
BY TWO JURYMEN
Thomas O. Young, Guilty Of
Murder, Will Be Impris-
Oned for Life

Thomas o. Young, who shot and
killed Policeman William H. Helms. last
night was adjudged guilty of murder
in the first degree by the jury hearing
the case and sentenced to life imprison-
ment. Sentence will be pronounced by
Judge Dunno Saturday.
Young escaped with his life only by
the narrowest margin. The jury agreed
upon finding him guilty as charged,
but 10 of them held out during five
hours of deliberation for the death pen
city. Two of the jurors could not
bring themselves to vote for the capital
penalty and, finally. after heated argu-
ment. the 10 gave in TO prevent a dis
agreement.
Young smiled broadly and rose to
thank the jury when the foreman had
declared the verdict, but he was
forced back into his seat Despite this
he appeared as happy as though he
had been set free. and was heard to
remark that few years would see
him out on parole.
During the anxious period of waiting
while the jury deliberated Young
laughed and talked with his attorney
and friends. and when Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Louis Ferrari and the
court bailiff whiled away the hours with
a wrestling match, Young was the most
delighted spectator of the scene. He
crowded and applauded loudly. When
the jury filed in to give it's verdict.
shortly before 10 o'clock last night
Young appeared the coolest mae in the

PASSENGER NABS
TWO PICKPOCKETS
Courageous Commercial Travel
er Holds Fighting Criminals
for the Police

After a brisk encounter, in which the
criminals received a severe drubbing.
Edward Ryan and Shedrick Larkin, two
notorious pickpockets, were turned over
to the police at the corner of Haight
and Fillmore streets last night by John
Blake. a commercial traveller. who re-
sides at 421 Fair Oaks street. Although
both OF the desperate characters are
young and vigorous and Blake is so
years Of age, the former were very
glad to be transferred to the custodians
of the law. Both men are being held
in detinue awaiting advices from the
east, where, it is believed, they have
records.
Blake was riding on southbound
Fillmore street car when he noticed
Ryan and Larlin crowding a foreigner
named Antoine Regis, and saw them ex-
tract a purse from the victims hip
pocket The car had reached Haight
street and both men jumped off. They
ran to the rear end and were attempt
ing to jump on a Haight street car
when Blake, who was in close pursuit
grabbed one by the neck and the other

field, boy, went TO Blake's assistance
and delivered a few rights and lefts to
Larkin's face while Blake hammered
Ryan. Both of the prisoners were sub
dued when a third man appeared and
saying he was an officer, attempted to
take charge of the pickpockets. Blake
demanded that he show his star and the
accomplice Immediately fed.
Off1cers McGue and Brush appeared on
the scene and the men were given into
their charge. Larkin in the meantime
had offered Muhlenfeld IS to let him
escape. When the men were searched
at the Bush street station the foreign
er's purse and cigarette case were
found on Larkin and identified.
Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived of pocket picking along Fillmore
street within the last month. and the
police believe that the two men now
held in the city prison are members OF
an organized band which operated
along the busy thoroughfare.
