HAUNTED FOR YEARS
Flight of Defaulter Who Never
Was Pursued.
Guilty Land Man Turned Tramp-Sur-
rendering After Eighteen Years,
He Found Indictment Had
Been Quashed

Omaha. Neb.-Elmer E. Johnson
was fugitive from justice for eigh-
teen years. In that time he wandered
through every state in the Union but
one, and visited every country in the
world in an effort to eTade the fed
eral inspectors and secret service
men. The other day he walked into
the Office Of the United States mar
shall at Omaha and surrendered. lie
then learned that the case against
him was quashed fifteen years ago;
that he had fed when none pursued
and that the army OF federal officers
who had been chasing him over the
globe were only creations OF his own
guilty conscience.
Johnson sat down and cried when
told by the marshal that he was a
free man; that the government did
not want him and that for the last
fifteen years he! might have settled
down and lived: an honest man in
stead of wandering as hobo over
the world.
I'm too old to make new start
now" said Johnson after he had
braced up. III l had only known this
years and years ago | might have
amounted to something. II l had
stood trial and taken my medicine l
would have been out o: prison fifteen
years ago. NJ punishment would
have lasted two or three years. As
fact, 1t continued eighteen years and
its effect will continue throughout my
life."
Cant you lend me a quarter to get
something to eat with?' And with
the 95-cent piece in his hand he shut

johnson was an official in the pub
lie land office in Del Norte, Cal. In
1893 he was found short $1,000. He
was indicted on q charge OF embez'
element, forfeited his bail and es.
capped. For three years the govern
ment inspectors kept lookout for
him. Then the case was dismissed
and thereafter no further efforts were
made to capture him.
ION a cattle ship ! worked my way
to Liverpool" said johnson. II was
absent from the states about i've
years, during which time I visited
practically every country in Europe,
and many in Asia and Africa. I was
simply a hobo but watched keenly
for government detectives who my
conscience told me were always after
me.
For eight years have been wan,

to the gulf. / have worked a few
days in actually hundreds OF printing
Offices. But I made it an absolute
rule never to work IN a place for

to the next stop, thus throwing the
detectives on Of my trail.

ELEPHANT GOT VENGEANCE.
When a Hunter Wounded the Beast II
Turned on the Assailant.

Carel Krieger, celebrated ele-

the following manner: He had been
an indefatigable and fearless hunter;
and, being also an excellent marks
man. often ventured into the most
dangerous situations. One day, hav-
ing, with a party, pursued an elephant
which he had wounded. the irritated
animal suddenly turned round and,
singing out from the rest the per-
son by whom 1t had been wounded,
seized him with its trunk and, lifting
its wretched victim in the air, dashed
him with fearful force TO the ground
His companions, struck with horror,
fed precipitately from the scene, un-
able 10 turn their eyes TO behold the
rest OF the tragedy. But. on the fol
lowing day, they returned to the spot
where they collected the few bones
that could be found and buried them
near the spring. The enraged animal
had not only trampled the body to
pieces. but could not feel its vengeance
satisfied until II had pounded the very
flesh into the dust, so that nothing OF
tho unfortunate man remained except
a few OF the larger bones From the
Reason why a Natural History.
