RIDES PONY INTO
DOOR OF SALOON
William Van Arsdale Initiates
Feats of the Cowboys of
the Wild West.
WINDS UP AT CITY JAIL
Is Now Scheduled to Work for City
Breaking Rock at the Rate of
s. Per Day.

Filled with a desire to emulate the
widest feats of daring, William Van
ArsdaIe, % years old, last evening
tried to ride a pony into a saloon on
Seventh avenue and Third street, and
from all reports he did succeed in
chasing the animal up the steps. The
action of the youngster brought to a
climax a series of eseapades in which
he has been the leading and only actor
for about IL days. AS a result of these
escapades he was in the police station
over night, and this morning on COM
plant of Charles Thornhill, Van Ars-
dale was fined SIS and costs for dis
orderly conduct.
STARTED UP IN BUSINESS.
In the complaint against him it was
alleged by Thornhill that Van Arsdale,
while intoxicated, came into the Thorn
hill barn at nights, borrowed an ex-
press wagon and a team, and, without
the permission of the owner of the
outfit, went to work hauling baggage
for any customers whom he could find.
Patronage apparently was good, for he
managed to keep himself in a high
state of feeling with plenty of boone
Finally his actions were discovered by
Thornhill, who demanded a settlement.
Van Arsdale had no money. He was
arrested. When the charge was read
to him he admitted his guilt. He had
no money, and as he has shown an in
clination for work. he will have a
splendid opportunity to prove his abil-
ity, for he must serve out his fine at
the rate of 81 a day on the road i'm

ped at three different hotels, and has
changed hats and costumes three or
four times each day? A shroud of
mystery seems to surround her move

cal hotels Monday night, almost I'M

another hosiery, and finally moved to
a third. She has now disappeared.
Theories as to her identy and bust
ness are many. Some think that she
is female detective; others think she
is advertising some millinery concern,
while others hold to the theory that
she is gathering data on the hotels of
the country with a view of writing

She has excited a great deal of COM
ment on the part of everyone who has
seen her by her peculiar actions, and
striking appearance. She is about six
feet tall and very slender, and appears
to be about 50 years of age. She has
been observed to come into a hotel,
go into the parlor, and in some mys
FERROUS manner emerge wearing a new
millinery creation. Many have motto
ed her walking to and fro in Spencer
square. She gave her home on the no
tel registers as Chicago. No one has
ever observed her speaking to a soul.
When last seen she wore a green and
white hat. a black silk dress and

"One of the things like best about
Gainor is his aggressiveness," said
Hughie. He isn't shouting much; In
fact, he's one OF the quietest men In

speaks roundly of his courage. A
failure at bat doesn't disturb him IN
