company but a month prior thereto,
and when no work had been done on
the street save the laying of the curb
ing, the plaintiff notified the city
that she was not the owner to the
center of the street and that she was
not an abutting or adjoining owner,
but that the land belonged to the
company and that she would resist
the payment of any lien The law
under which the lien was sought to
be created provides that each lot or

defense admitted that the plaintiff
did not own the property in front and
abuttlng upon the street at the time
that notice was given to improve, or
at the time the assessment was made
or ordinance passed, it claimed an
implied dedication to the city by
user, alleging that the street has
been open within the limits of the
Improvement for 60 feet from 10 to
81 years; and that although the COM
pany owned the fee to the half of the
street in front of the plaintiffs prop
erty, at the time the order for the
Improvement was made, that the own
ership did not affect the right of the
city to make the Improvement and to
create a lien on the property,
The court, however, took the oppo-
site view and rendered an opinion
against the city ana in favor of the
plaiuun,

PURSUE GIRL HORSE THIEF
SHE HAS STOLEN MORE THAN
FORTY IN PENNSYLVANIA,
Hundreds of Shots Fired at Her.
But the Daring Rider Laughed
as the Bullets Whizzed BY.

MT. PLEASANT, PA girl
horse thief is leading members of
the state constabulary and a large
band of farmers and liverymen a
merry chase over the hills of West
moreland and Fayette counties.
The posse of more than 600 farm
ers and the state police have pursued
her more than so miles. Hundreds
of shots were fired at her without
effect. Later She was joined by a
fashily dressed boy companion.
1t was not until recently that the
girl, who is described as being pretty
and not more than IS years of age,
and her companion, a few years her
senior, were suspected of horse steal
ing.
Howard Croushore and his wife of
Ruffsdale drove to the west end of
Mount Pleasant to visit F. M. Sloan,
Mrs. Croushore's father. They hitch
ed their horse and buggy to a post
in front of the Sloan home. Shortly
after 10 o'clock, when about to re-
turn home, Croushore discovered
that his horse and buggy, valued at
$500, were missing. Footprints in
the soft earth indicated that the thief
was woman.
The Mount Pleasant police and the
state constabulary began a search,
and farmers and liverymen were
warned to be on the lookout for the
horse and buggy. The police several
times found the trail, and once fol-
lowed it to West Newton, but the
horse thieves drove on to brick
road, where all trace was lost.
When the girl and her companion
stopped at farm house a few miles
from Mount Pleasant and asked for
something to eat the farmer recog-
nized the horse and buggy from the
description which he had received, |
and refused to furnish the couple
with the meal.
The man and girl quickly drove

away, and then hunt was begun.
Farmers for miles around joined in
the chase and fired volley of shots
at the fleeing couple The girl would
laugh as the bullets whizzed past
her. The couple drove over into
Fayette county, and were soon lost
among the mountainous roads. At
some places where the couple have
stopped at times they appeared to
be well supplied with money.
1t is said that the girl alone has
stolen over forty horses.

Washington Diplomat Is a Bride
groom Without a Bride.
DR.. Belisario Porras, minister
from Panama to the United States,
occupies the rather unusual position
of a bridegroom without a bride.
The doctor was engaged to marry a
charming young woman of Costa
Rica, and the date for the wedding
was set. But urgent business com
PEELED him to leave Panama for
Washington before the ceremony
could be performed. In Latin coun-
tries brides-to-be have superstitious
feelings about postponed weddings,
and the fair Costa Rican senorita in
sisted that the important event must
take place at the appointed time.
Accordingly DR.. Porras after reach
ing Washington filled out and signed
certain papers and then sent them
to his bride-to-be, who went to the
altar with a friend of the BRIDE
groom. The latter read his responses
as a proxy for DR.. Porras, and thus
by proxy the doctor and the senior ia

Miles to Grange Fair.
John Kavanaugh, farmer who
lives in Portland, Conn, decided to
take his family to the Grange fair at
Haddam Neck There is no railroad
running between the two towns.
Mr.. Cavanaugh owns ten yoke Of
oxen himself, and by borrowing from
his neighbors managed to collect AZ
yoke or SO oxen altogether. With
these attached to a gaily decorated
OK cart he made the trip, covering
the distance of about twenty miles
in five hours. The services of twelve
drivers were needed to guide the
animals on the road.
The line of cattle stretched for
more than a quarter of a mile along
the road, and it took them five min
utes TO pass a given point. On his
arrival at the fair grounds Cava-
naugh found that he and his cattle
attracted more attention than anv

aster in Recent Hurricane.
From the report of Capt. Rawding
of the four-masted schooner Ellen
Little, from Gulfport, Miss, to Bos-
ton, it is believed some vessel, prob
ably an Italian square-rigged, met
with disaster in the hurricane which
devastated shipping off the southern
coast several days ago.
Capt. Rawdi 3 said that on Sat-
urday, when thirty-five miles south
by-southwest from Chinnecock, his
vessel passed through a mass of f1ot-
sam, including about 100 crates of
Spanish onions.
The crew fshed up one of the
crates, but the consignees' and other
marks were indistinguishable. The
crates were shipped from some port
in Spain. Cargo of that character is
always carried in the hold of a YES
sci. 1t is believed the vessel was
either overwhelmed by the storm or
was in collision with some other
craft.

FEATHERLEss HEN IN BLooMER
Saratoga Has Bird That Has Never
Had q Feather.

Saratoga, N. Y, has hen that
wears clothes. Her name is Jenny,
and she lives on the Misses Williams
farm. Jenny was born without a
sign of feather and as she grew to
henhood not a vestige of covering
appeared.
The other morning when William
English went to feed the hens he no
ticed Jenny up in a corner shiyer-
ing. Just then an idea struck him.
Why not make a suit of clothes for
Jenny?
The hen was measured for a suit,
and now she wears it, a natty one,
with buttons down the front and
holes for her wings. She now struts
about the barnyard, and, once the
laughing stock of the flock, she is
now the envy of all the other hens.

SMOOTH SWINDLER CAUGHT
S. A. POTTER, GOLD BRICK MAN.
is BEHIND THE BARS,
1t Is Said That He Has Gathered
About 81 100000. Offered to Put
Up Cash Bond of $4,000.

CHICAGO.-S. A, Potter, who is
said to have garnered more than ST.
5000 from the unwary of two con-
tinents in the lest few years by means
of gold brick swindles and confidence
games, was locked in Jail here to-
night. He was arrested today by O..
f. DeWoody, division superintendent
of the department of justice, after
being sought for year by United
States secret service men and the
police of almost every city in the
country Scotland Yard is also said
to have sought Potter and his com
panions, who we're credited with hav-
ing operated in London.
Potter, who was also known DIS
George w. Post, was wanted here
on an indictment for swindling re-
turned in the United States court in
July, 1910. Potter and a companion,
Edward Starktoff, also are wanted in
Philadelphia, where they forfeited
$23 900 bond year ago. In view
of this forfeiture and the report that
the confidence men of whom Potter
is said to be the head, continually
keep a large amount of protection
money within reach Chief DeWoody
will make every effort to keep his
prisoner under lock and key until he
is brought to trial.
A cash bond of $4,000 offered by
Potter was refused by federal Off
GERS, who declared that nothing less
than $4,000 cash bond would Sc
cure him his temporary freedom.
Starktoff, who is said to have oper-
ated with Potter under a score OF
names, is in the city, according to
DeWoody, and all the secret service
men and police are searching for
him
At Potter's home a great quantity
of evidence, including what the Sc
cret service men termed a sucker
list " was found. The nature of the
other evidence was withheld.
Potter and his men are said to
have appealed to the ayarice of vic
tins, and according to detectives one
of his most highly remunerative
ventures made his victims equally
criminal.
After fleeing his $4,000 bond in
Philadelphia Potter and Starktof are
said to have opened an Office here
and flooded the country with adver-
tisements of spurious money for sale
at half price
The bills, it was advertised, were
made from plates stolen from the
United States mint at Philadelphia,
and were splendid counterfeits.
Being in the position of having
sought to defraud the government
the investor would not dare complain
and the swindle was conducted with
little risk by the perpetrators.
Potter was arrested in a hand
