extensive land frauds in the west. He
was more than three years on this
case and when he had finished and
turned the evidence over to the gov
eminent it resulted in the conviction
of United States Senator Mitchell of
Oregon and of two wealthy land own
ers, Hyde and Benson of California.
From these land cases Burns went
to San Francisco to dig amid the mass
Of political and municipal corruption
in that city. Three years were neces-
sary for. the investigation. 1t resulted
in sending Mayor Schmitz to the peni-
Tertiary for five years: Ruef. the po-
litical boss, for fourteen years; Glass.
vice-president and general manager of
the Pacific State Telephone company,
and several others to prison for vari-
GUS periods.
Burns, Notwithstanding the nature
Of his profession. has a strong belief
In the integrity of human nature.
There never was time," he says,
when the moral sentiment of the
people was more easily and quickly
aroused than at present. or when
there was finer sense of honesty In
the various relations of daily life.
Even bad men want good govern
ment-if they are not making money
out of bad government. Nor do be-
lieve in the heredity of crime. Lom-
broso and other scientists speculate
and write essays, but coming right
down to common experience, which
Is better test than philosophy or
long tables of figures. l know that
environment and not birth is the one
great cause of criminal conduct"
He has always held that the detec-
tive business was simply matter Of
common sense. He is continually tell
ing his subordinates that every crook.
no matter how clever he is. always
leaves trail behind.
Intellectually. Burns Is the most r.
sourceful and brilliant detective in the
United States. Nowhere else on earth
perhaps. can anyone match him in the
ability to think out the snarled prob

WlFE's CURSE WAS ON HIM
Husband, Who Deserted Her, Stricken
by Paralysis as Dying Woman
Had Wished.

Cincinnati, O.-The wish OF a dying
woman that her husband might be
paralyzed IL he attended her funeral
came true. William Huesman Of this
city is the victim.
Although nearly seventy, and the
father of several grown children, he
had lived apart from his wife, Minnie
Huesman, his Junior by only a few
years. AS the years Of their separa
.ion extended, Mrs. Huesman became
each day more and more embittered
against her husband. Time and again
she declared that she hoped that when
sne died he might become paralyzed
on the way to the cemetery Ii he tried
to 60 to the funeral.
Immediately after her death the
husband was notified and, forgetting
the past, tried to atone by seeing that
his wife received proper burial. He
provided a coffin for the body and
next day he was on his way to the
cemetery when he suddenly collapsed

AT some distance from the opening
they dug another hole, ten feet in

mistook the meaning of the noises
and kept crawling still further from
safety. Finally at 80 feet they made

DauntIess Girl Hunter of the Tex
as Border.
Miss Katie Sharp, a Daring Big Game
Hunter, Splendid HorseWoman
and a Dead Shot With
Rifle.

Houston, Tex.-One Of the most
daring and dauntless big game hunters
in the upper Rio Grande border re-
Sanderson. She is a splendid shot
with rifle and revolver and is the
equal Of any cowboy horsewomanship.
She has gone on many hunting expe-
ditions into the Santa Rosa mountains
of Mexico where bears, deer and other
wild animals abound. She has In her
home many trophies Of the chase,
among them being the skins of sew
eral large black bears that she killed.
On a bear hunting trip into Meyi-
co, last winter. she had marrow es-
cape from being badly injured, or pos
sibly killed, by bear which she had
wounded. She encountered the AMI
NAL In a narrow canyon In the noun
tains and the two were within doz-
en- feet of each other before either
was aware Of the others presence.
Miss Sharp quickly brought the rife
that she carried to her shoulder and
taking quick aim fired at the bear.
The first shot went wild, hut the sec
ond stopped the animal just as 1t was
within almost reaching distance of
Miss Sharp. With her hunting knife
she put an end to the struggle OF the
beast.
This intrepid huntress knows NO
such thing as fear. She frequently
goes out alone into remote localities
of the border region and bags deef
and game birds. She knows all of the
trails leading through the hills aa&
rough country that rise along the Rio
Grande and is also familiar with ey-
cry locality Of the rugged Santa Rosa
mountains frequently on her hunt
ing excursions she has tried the nerve

and endurance Of seasoned and long
experienced men at the game. She Is
well known all through that region
and is popular among the ranch peo-
pie as well as those Of the towns. She
is given the sobriquet Of the Diana Of
the Border.

CITY ACQUIRES
MORE PROPERTY
Mayor Purchases Building Used by
County Officers During Erection
Of New Court House.
IT Is TO BE USED AS a JAIL
Building to be Remodeied and Iron
Cages Placed, Thus Making Home
for City Prisoners.

Mayor Laub went before the board
of supervisors last Thursday and pur-
chased the building just west of the
court house, used by the county dur.
ing the erection Of the new court
house. The consideration was $3.50,
and is thought by the city officials to
be very cheap. 1t is intended to place
some iron cages in the building and
make a place for city prisoners and
.tramps who ask for a nights lodging.
This is thought to make saving to
the city over the present method of
placing them in the county Jail and
paying Is cents for each one. The
city is also in need of suitable place
to store machinery, such as road grad
|ers, wagons, scrapers, shovels, etc,
and part OF the building will be used
for that purpose. At the time the
building was erected the city vacated
the street where the building stands
and now this reverts to the city. AS
soon as possible the grounds will be
|leveled up and all rubbish removed
and the place kept in respectable
condition.
