Covote and Jack Rabbit.

The speed of the jack rabbit has al
ways been proverbial among western
men, like the speed of a coyote. In d
straightaway race it is claimed that
the jack rabbit can distance the coyote.
but he usually falls a victim to the
coyotes superior intelligence. The ia
vorite coyote method for catching jack
rabbits is for one of the animals to
start a jack and attend to the work of
keeping the victim on the run. while
the other coyote sits down. patiently
awaiting the arrival of his dinner.
The jack rabbit when he has free
range will run in circles. and the
coyotes cleverly count on this habit.
Before long the rabbit will arrive at
the place from which he started, and
there coyote No. 2. fresh and ready
for a short sprint. will swoop down
upon him and then divide the mea!
with the coyote that has done the &C,
tual chasing-New York Press.

TIME FREES $4,000 THIEF
Three Years Since Chicago Sub Treas
ury Was Robbed.

The adriot thief who three years
ago stole $4,000 from the United
States subtreasury in Chicago is free.
He may safely leave his hiding
place and begin the enjoyment of the
spoils in public. Official report of the
theft was made three years ago, and
now the statue of limitations has run
against the thief.
So long as he does not flaunt the
money before the eyes of the govern
ment officials, that they may have an
opportunity to identify it, he is safe
immune from prosecution. Civil ac-
ton against the thief and attachment
of the money is the only course now
open to the government.
inquiries were made of District At
torney Sims to learn whether or not
at the eleventh hour some action
would be taken in the famous case.
1t is known that thousands of dol
lars have been expended by the gov
eminent in a determined effort to
track the thief, and that secret-service
operatives are still at work on the
case, but no action is contemplated.
Indictment of the thief by the grand
jury now in session would give the
government jurisdiction over the cul-
prit. But it became definitely known
that the clews have crumpled away,
and that the theft is as much of mys-
terry as on Feb. Is, 1907, when Sub
treasurer William Boldenweck sent
terse telegram to the department at
Washington containing the official re-
port of the robbery.

Them in Preparing Tabu-

New York, Feb. 22-Julius Krutt-
schnitt, vice president of the Union
Pacific Southern Pacific railroad sys-
tenn was subjected to a severe cross
examination by Frank B. Kellogg in
the governments suit to dissolve the
merger of the two roads. The list Of
commodities used by the merged sys-
tenn, on which Mr.. Kruttschnitt has
testified prices had increased, was the
particular target of Mr.. Kellogg.
did you select for this list commo-
dities upon which there had been large
increases?" he asked.
mo, I simply asked our purchasing
agents to make list of the principal
commodities, showing the differences
in the prices paid" answered the wit
ness. He said there were few things
which had not advanced in price.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt defended the de-
creased speed of certain freight trains
on his system. "a very small per cent
of the public is dissatisfied he de-
c1ared.

property valuation were other things
regarding which Mr. Kruttschnitt was
questioned. When the railroad man
quoted the interstate commerce COM
missions report on dividend averages
and showed that, although his roads
were paying a 10 per cent dividend
now, the average of the Union Pacific
for a ten-year period was 4.62 and of
the Southern Pacific 1.9 per cent, Mr..
kellogg asked:
would you undertake to say what
portion of the stock upon which rail-
roads pay dividends is watered stock
and what paid actual capital invest
ment?"
Mr.. Kruttschnitt answered that he
rather believed the interstate COM
merce commission had disregarded
watered stock in preparing it's tabula-
ton of dividend averages.
