Wise Beyond Her Age.

Rene La Montague, the crack polo
player, tells this story Of very small
miss, the five-year-old daughter of a
prominent merchant of the Cedarhurst
set
Mr.. La Montague was driving a
small trap from the Rockaway Hunt
club to his home in Cedarhurst, when
he encountered the little miss, who
was out for a walk with her nurse
and a small baby brother, who occu-
pied the perambulator. Being an in
innate friend of the child's parents, he
offered to give her lift as far as her
house. The offer was accepted and on
the way Mr.. La Montague was RECALLED
with interesting items of family news
which were lisped out In rapid sue.
cession until he pulled up in front of
the house.
The child alighted, and as there was
| nobody in sight on the grounds, he
asked her If she could get indoors
| safely. 1.., ..
"Oh, yes" said the little tot, land
| thank you very much"
Don't mention It," nodded back the
polo player; when to his surprise the
child opened her eyes very much and
murmured:
Il won't."-Philadelphi Record.

CAPTURES BANDITS
AFTER LONG CHASE
FARMER HOLDS UP ROBBERS
BY AN OLD RUSE
Receivers Part of Money Which They
Had Stolen from Him and
Wounds Two-Gang Later
Escapes

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Feb. 26.-In the
San BOiS mountains single handed and
in the dark, James Beck, a farmer re-
siding near Stigler, Okla, early today
captured five robbers who had robbed
him of $4,000, recovered part of the
money and then made an Intellectual
attempt to land his gang in Jail. Two
were wounded, but all escaped.
Sunday morning last the men broke
into Beck's house and escaped with his
money. Arming himself with a re-
volver, the farmer started in pursuit.
He trailed the robbers day and night,
until at dusk Thursday he saw them
enter the San Bois mountains, seventy
miles southwest of Muskogee.
He laid in wait till darkness covered
the robbers rendezvous, and when
finally the quintet fell asleep Beck ap-
preached, yelling Hands up!" Cover
them, bOyS!" Leading the robbers to
believe they were surrounded, Beck
forced them to return $1,000 of his
money, all they had left, and attempted
to bring them to Muskogee to jail.
Learning that their capture had been
effected by one man, the robbers made
dash for liberty
They escaped, but not until two of
them had been shot and wounded by
Beck, how badly is not known. A
sheriff's posse today is securing the
mountains for the robbers.

ROB
VICTIM OF $40.
TWO MEN HOLD UPSAN DIEGAN
ON OLIVE STREET
Three Mexicans A.so Reported to
Have Secured Small Sum from
AngeIeno at Ord and
Main Streets

r. P. Wood of San Diego was held
up and robbed of $40 by two men on
Olive street, between Second and Third
streets, shortly before midnight last
night.
Wood arrived here on business from
San Diego several days ago. Last
night he went to North Olive street to
visit some friends. He was on his way
to the New York hotel, where he is
staying, and was walking along the
street slowly when two men suddenly
confronted him and ordered him to
throw up his hands. AS both men
were armed with revolvers he instantly
complied with the order, and while one
of the men kept him covered with his
weapon, the other secured his money,
which consisted of SGT in bills and So
in silver change.
Detectives were sent to the scene
within few minutes after the robbery,
but no trace of the highwaymen was
found.
Frank Hill, who lives at 722 CONNER
cial street, reported to the police last
night that he had been stopped by
three Mexicans at Ord and Main streets
at 11:15 O'Clock last night and robbed
of $3.50 All of the Mexicans were
armed with pistols, but none of them
was masked.

MRS. TEAL IS SENT TO
PRISON FOR PERJURY
C0LLAPSES IN COURT ROOM AS
PENALTY Is IMPOSED
Wife of Noted Theatrical Manager to
Serve One Year for subornation
in the Gould Divorce
Case

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Mrs. Marga-
ret Teal, wife of Benjamin Teal, one
of the best known theatrical managers
in this country, was convicted today
of attempted subornatiOn of perjury in
the divorce case of Helen Kelley Gould
against Frank Gould.
Mrs Teal was sentenced to serve one
year in the penitentiary on Blackwell S
island.
AS the verdict of the jury was pro-
nounced Mrs. Teal sank to her knees
and was lifted to a chair by attend
ants.
She then buried her face in her muff.
One of the jurors was weeping as the
verdict was read and the sentence i'm
posed
All the jurors signed a recommends
ton for clemency.
Judge Foster, in sentencing Mrs.
Teal, said he would not add to her sui
feringIby referring to her record, with
which he said the district attorney had
acquainted him.
The judge said he had been greatly
impressed by the bearing of Mr.. Teal,
who had sat beside his wife through
out the trial.
Counsel for Mrs Teal said he would
apply for a certificate of reasonable
doubt and endeavor to obtain her free
dom on bail.
"This has been the mistake of a
garrulous woman and lacks the inter-
est that usually appears in cases of
this kind" said the court.
Mrs. Teal was indicted last year
jointly with Mrs. Julia Fleming Cor
Julia McCabe) and Harry S. Mousley,
private detective. They were charged
with attempting by offers Of money to
induce Mabel McCausland, a milli-
ners apprentice, to give false evidence
against Frank Gould in the divorce
case. Mrs. Fleming and Mousley turned
states evidence.
A pathetic feature of Mrs. TeaPs case
is that she is the mother of child but
sixteen months old.

ACCUSED PROSECUTOR HAS
POOR MEMORY AS WITNESS
Cross Examination Weakens Defend
ants Testimony, but Makes
Him More Sarcastic

REDWOOD CITY, Feb. 26.-The trial
of District Attorney Bullock was re-
sumed this morning with the defend
ant still under direct examination. He
contradicted the testimony given by all
the witnesses for the prosecution, but
when Prosecutor Cook began his cross
examination Bullock's memory weak
ened, and he failed to remember every
time he was tightly pressed. He per-
sisted in arguing with the prosecutor
and his answers were very sarcastic.
During Bullocks redirect examina-
tion occurred the only lively tilt of the
trial, when Cook charged Linforth, Bull
locks attorney, with improper actions
toward the jury. Linforth responded
by calling Cook a liar and Cook re-
sponded with, You're another"
All the testimony in the Bullock trial
was completed at o'clock this after
noon and court adjourned until 1
o'clock tomorrow afternoon for argu-
ment, both sides agreeing to take but
one hour each

INDICATE IMPORTANT
AMENDMENTS BEATEN
Belief Expressed at Midnight Pasa-
dena's City Charter Will Not Be
Changed to an AppreciabIe
Extent

PASADENA, Feb 26.-With but two
precincts in by midnight, and the re-
mainder reporting the count progress
ing so slowly as to be uncertain when
they will report, the vote of the citi-
zens apparently has killed every
amendment to the city charter said to
be progressive, and passed only those
which were technical in their nature.
All the amendments increasing the
salaries of the city officers were de-
feated, if the vote of the two precincts
reported can be taken as a sample of
the entire vote, and so is the amend
ment making the life of public utili-
ties franchise thirty instead Of twenty
years, as at the present time. The list
of proposed amendmnets, with the
probable fate of each as shown by the
vote already in,
