TOO HANDY WITH GUNS
No. court, could sentence a man
to death for stealing handcar.
The worst the judge could do
would be to send him to prison

Yet a special policeman, in the
employ of a railroad, can kill a
man for that ofense and get
away with it.
Anthony Williams, IS, was
speeding along the railroad track
in a. handcar. Special Cop McIin-
erney Of the. Chicago & Alton
called on him to stop. The boy
didn't stop. The COP, shot and

He was arrested Aug, q and
was dismissed, and the govern
ment officials announced that the
hunt was abandoned and the
money charged up to profit and
loss" But still Fitzgerald was
watched.
For three years this ran along.
Then on Feb. II, 1910, three days
before the statute of limitations
would have ended the case, an in
dictment against Fitzgerald was
voted by the federal grand jury,
but still nothing was done to-
ward arresting him. For six
months the warrants lay idle, and
Fitzgerald was given the impress
sion by the government that the
case was ended-but still he was
watched. Then on Sept. IA, 1910,
he was arrested. And still he was
watched.
He will plead as defense the
statute of limitations, alleging
that the non-attempt to serve the
warrants made the three-year
limitation effective.

The boy was unconscious when
taken to the Peoples Hospital
and couldn't give his side of the
story, 1t may be he didn't steal
the handcar. But, even if he did,
what right had the special cop to
shoot to kill?
Regular cops do the same
thing. The death sentence can't
be. imposed for resisting or rum
ming away from policeman, but
a cop will shoot and kill a man for
either. He has no right to do it
unless his own life is in dangery
and it certainly isn't in danger
from a man who is running away
from him.
These cops are entirely too
handy with their shooting irons
in many/cases.

Lovers of Dickens will easily
recall the ''seminary incident" in
which the we'll meaning Mr..
PiclSwick is 'staken in" by Jingle's
clever man-seryant, Job Trot-
ter; is led to try and stop sup
posed elopement of Jingle with
one of the seminary boarders,
and is caught by the abbess and
the entire household at midnight
in the seminary garden.
Half past 10 o'clock arrived
and it was time for Mr.. Pickwick
to issue forth on his delicate
errant. Resisting Sans tender
of his great coat, in order that
he might have no encumbrance
in scaling the wall, he set forth,
followed by his attendant.
There was a bright moon, but
it was behind the coluds. 1t was
a fine, dry night, but it was
most uncommonly dark. Paths,
hedges, fields, houses and trees
were enveloped in one deep
shade. The atmosphere was hot
and sultry, the summer lightning
quivered on the verge of the
horizon, and was the only sight
that varied the dull gloom in
which everything was wrapped.
Sound there was none, except the
distant barking of some restless
house dog.
They found the house, read
the brass plate, walked around
the wall, and stopped at that
portion of it which divided them
from the bottom of the garden.
The faithful Sam hoisted Mr..
Pickwick over the wall and said
good bye.
Lights occasionally appeared
in the different parts of the
house, or glanced from the stair
cases, as il the inmates were re-
firing to rest. Not caring to go
too near the door until the ap-
pointed time, Mr.. Pickwick
crouched into an angle of the
wall and awaited its arrival.
The hour came and Mr.. Pick
wick, according to arrangements
with Job Trotter, who was to let
him in by that door, in order
that he might arouse the house
and save the clipping girl,
knocked gently.
There was a slow whispering
inside, and then voice cried:
who's there?"
That's not job" thought Mr..
Pickwick, hastily drawing him
self up against the wall again.
That's woman!"
Believing he had aroused the
household, Mr.. Pickwick men,
tally decided to keep quiet till
suspicion was allayed and then
climb over the wall again and
get away. But he did not count
on the inmates opening the door
and finding him.
who's there!" screamed a
numerous chorus of treble voices,
from the staircase inside, con-
sisting of the spinster lady of
the establishment, three teach
ers, five female servants, and 80
boarders, all half dressed, and
in a forest of curl papers.
OF course Mr.. Pickwick didn't
say who WAS there; and then
the burden of the chorus
changed into "Lor! am so
frightened"
Cook" said the Lady Abbess,
Cook, why don't you go little
way into the garden!"
please, ma'am, l don't like"
responded the cook.
While the cook was shaking
and the Abbess scolding, one
Miss Smithers, a boarder, spied
poor Mr.. Pickwick through the
crack in the door.
Ladies, dear ladies'" said Mr..
Pickwick.
"Oh, he says we're dear!"
cried the ugliest and oldest
teacher. ooh, the wretch"
LADIES'" roared Mr.. Pick
wick, rendered desperate by the
danger of his situation. "Hear
me! l am no robber. 1 want

WITH HIS LOOT
Burglar Carries Away Gold
Watch Belonging to John
S. TomIinson.

burglar was discovered in the apart
ment of John s. Tomlinson, 1874 Yer
mont avenue northwest, about o'clock
this morning. Mr.. Tomlinson and his
wife were sleeping in the rear room on
the first floor. The shades were drawn
and the room darkened. Silently the
burglar removed the lower screen and
crawled into the room, but it was SO
dark he was unable to get his bearings,
and in order that he might be able to
see where the occupants left their CLOTH
ing he struck match.
Arouses Mrs. Tomlinson.
The slight noise made by striking the
match and the light that followed aroused
Mrs Tomlinson. The form Of a tall white
man was visible, and she called to in
quire what he was doing in the room.
The intruder merely grabbed what cloth
ing he could and started in the direction
of the front door, with Mr.. Tomlinson
close behind him.
In hurrying through the dark hallway
the burglar stumbled over chair and
dropped the clothing, with the exception
of Mr.. Tomlinson's vest, in a pocket OF
which was gold watch and ribbon fob.
Mr. Tomlinson had a small amount OF
money in his trousers pockets, but that
garment was found later near the door.
The burglar experienced no trouble in
getting the front door open and making
his escape.
