SEES S5 BILL ONE MINUTE;
NEXT MINUTE IT IS GONE
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
PUZZELS CHIEF But HE
SOLVES PROBLEM.

Chief Of Police John Kearney is not
a sDiritualist but for about ten min.
utes yesterday he was about two.
thirds inclined TO believe that there
were invisible agencies .inhabitlng the
atmosphere Of his office. With no
other person in his office, the doors
closed and the windows down, a five
dollar greenback vanished complete
ly out Of sight within a period of ap-
proximately one minute. He saw Il
plainly at one moment, turned his
back, glanced at a book and looked
back again. Prestol It had dlsap-
peared.
The chief had opened the door Of
the office safe and the banknote was
lying In the bottom of the safe. II
was bail money put up by a prisoner.
The officer took out a record book
and glanced at It a moment and then
turned to pick up the bill and deposit
It in the cash drawer. 1T had faded
out Of sight. Chief Kearney looked
In the safe and out OF II, looked on
his desk and in his pockets, think.
ing that in a moment Of abstraction
he had placed It somewhere without
taking cognizance Of the fact. He
could not find 1t anywhere for a mat
ter Of ten minutes. II there had been
someone else in the rovm he might
have probably have been subjected 10
a "fisking," but as It was there was
no one upon whom suspicion could
be cast. The chief was Donplussed.
In his own words. 1T got my goat >"
Suddenly his trained ear caught a
slight rustling sound under the safe
and almost at the same moment his
trained eye caught sight Of something
green hereunder. STOPPING down he
found his banknote and also discov-
cred the thief crouched under the
safe. The thief was a cat II pe-
longs TO Supt. ]. S. Landers whose
office is nearby but has a habit of
sleeping under the safe in the police
station. In his idle moments Chief
Kearney has been wont TO dangle a
piece of paper under the safe TO
tempt the feline to play. The bank
note had caught the eye OF the cat
as the chiefs back was turned and
was Immediately appropriated as a
plaything. Very simple.

WARNER RANCH IMPROVED
BY DUIIOING Of BIG DAM
WATER WILL BE CONSERVED
FOR IRRIGATION PURPOSES
AT BUTTER CREEK.

X. G. Warner, a prominent Butter
Creek rancher and sheepman is a
visitor in the city today. Mr.. War
ner is making extensive improve
ments on his ranch at Butter Creek.
and has just completed a large con-
crete dam across that stream for ir-
rigation purposes. The dam is about
one hundred feet long. nearly twelve
feet high. with three foot base and
sixteen inch top, and is expected to
furnish water for all the bottom land
on the ranch. At present Mr.. Warner
is changing the course OF the creek
with view to squaring up portions
of the land which was badly cut up
by the old channel. Mr.. Warner
stated that the sheep in that part OF
the country are in good shape. but
that the dry weather, and early cold
has rather limited the grazing. and
that the sheepmen have been forced
to begin feeding rather early.

KEPT HIS SECRET WELL.
Even SCOTS Son Didn't Know Who
Wrote the Waverley Novels.

Wrote the Waverlsy Novels.
A Scotch newspaper having referred
to the old story that Walter Scott, son
Of the great novelist, had never read
his fathers novels, the Dunfermline
Court Journal reprints letter that
first appeared in its columns on Sept.
II, 1859. It was signed "Veritas."
and the writer says: "From 1910 to
1888 resided in Edinburgh and was
on intimate terms with Walter Scott.
Sitting together one winter evening
several years before his father made
the famous declaration at the the
atrical fund dinner held in the assem-
bly, rooms of Edinburgh that he was
the author of the Waverley novels. I
put the following questions to my
friend: DO you not really and truly
believe your father to be the author
Of the Waverley novels. or who do
you suppose the author to be-?
"His answer was: 4 have really no
idea who the author is. If my father
is the author he keeps the secret to
himself. for none of the family knows
And then he added. The moment q
new novel (by the author of "Wav-
erley'D is announced my father orders
copy from his bookseller, and the
whole family assemblies in the parlor
in the evening to hear the novel read
by myself and my sisters, each taking
q turn
"He further added, When anything
very droll or funny occurs in the read
ing of the novel my father joins most
heartily in the laugh, perhaps more 50
than any of the family"
