CAT CAUSES HER DEATH.
Woman's Pet Overturns Lamp and
Spreads Flames.

Leavenworth. Kan. Feb. 22.-An
ordinary cat is thought to have been
responsible for the fire which caused
the death of Mrs. Clara D. Wicks, a
week ago. Coroner J. c. Davis and
Assistant County Attorney Malcolm
McNaughton made minute investi-
cation. after which they concluded
that feline had caused the havoc.
The cause of Mrs Wicks death is
attributed to shock and inhaling
fumes
Mrs. Wicks is known to have had
a cat, big, black cat with long hair.
This cat is known to have been in
her apartment when she retired
Thursday night. It is thought the
cat overturned a lighted lamp on a
table, after which it's fur ignited.
The cat then might have set fire to
lace curtains.
The body of the feline was found
yesterday by the investigators. 1t
was badly burned, and everything
went to show that it alone had been
responsible for the flames which
were indirectly the cause of its aged
mistress death.
The fact that Mrs. Wicks was re-
ported to have had a considerable
sum of money secreted in the room
led the coroner and county attorney
to conduct their investigation.

ARAB JOAN OF ARC.
A Woman Leads the Men of the Desert
to Victory.

London. Feb 22.-A1an Ostler. special
correspondent for the Daily Express,
with the Turkish army in Tripoli, sends
a. graphic description of the war god
dess of the Su1tan's African forces-an
Arab Joan of Arc leading a recent bat
tie against the Italians" He says:
when the Arabs chased the Italian
infantry out Of the trenches at Gar
garesh two years ago. at their head
was a figure, clOaked and hooded, who
carried no weapon but a staff of olive
wood whose voice rang high and shr1l
above the shouts and rafting rifle fire.
The face beneath the hood, was deep
brown. almost black. The eyebrows
met in a savage frown over glittering
eyes; the jaw was square and heavy;
the nose was short and straight with
widely distended nostrils and a collar
of panther's teeth glistened against the
brown bosom. With a voice like the
screams of a stallion, this figure alter
nateIy menaced and exhorted the Arabs
and shrieked out terrible curses against
the Italians.
1.-The men of the desert swept over
the earth works and their leader, leap
ing into the trenches, stopped, plunged
her arm elbow deep in blood and then
stood with the dripping right hand
flung forward-a statue of the goddess
of an African battle, for it was a
woman a Soudanese warrior that
fought in the ranks with the men.
Her voice bidding the towards re-
turn to the children in the tents and
urging the brave men to find sure
road to paradise under Italian guns,
Inaddened the Arabs as only the voices
of their women folk can.
"She was struck by a fragment of
shell before the charge began but she
went forward shaking the bleeding
hand in the faces of the men, bidding
them earn glorious wounds like hers.
After the fight she was a heroine at
the gardens of the children of Adhem.
She strobe among the tents, one hand
bandaged and the other brandishing the
staff of olive wood, the while chanting
f1erce1y and triumphantly as Deborah
chanted through the lines of Israelite
tents when the hest of Sisera was over
thrown by Turks and Arabs
