BIG MEAL SAVES wIFE's LIFE.
Husband, Threatening Her Death,
Grants Request and Woman Escapes.

Chicago Friend wife. you are
about to die, but I will give you one
wish before 1 kill you"
This is not a passage out Of the
arabian Nights; it happened at 10
West Delaware place, Chicago. The
speaker was John II. Helms, and the
woman he addressed was his wife Vic
toria.
well, John if you are going to kill
me, I'd like to have one good meal be-
fore I am sent into the hereafter" re-
piled Mrs. Helms.
The couple dressed. Mrs. Helms put
on her black silk dress, ordinarily re-
served for Sunday occasions. She
made q complete change of garments,
even to her silk hose and lingerie.
ct want to look decent when I die
she told her husband. when the latter
requested her to hasten.
Mr.. Helms was also dressed as if for
church. Into his hip pocket he slipped
a 80 caliber revolver. The pair went
to a restaurant at $50 North Clark
street.
They went down the bill of fare.
Both ate heartily.
When they arose to go. waiter
picked up Helms coat and held it for
him. Mrs. Helms noted the oppor-
tunity and, with the speed of a rabbit,
scurried thru the kitchen and out the
back way.
Helms paid the bill and departed A
few minutes later Mrs. Helms returned
and told the proprietor her husband
had threatened to kill her. and ( the
latter called up the East Chicago
avenue police station.
officers Pat McHale and Charles
Bennett, accompanied by Mrs. Helms,
approached the Helms home when they
saw Helms coming down the stairway
with a revolver in his hand. Helms
fed and the officers gave chase. The
fugitive finally ran into the arms Of
Patrolman Thomas D. Walsh. who
disarmed and arrested him.
The pair were estranged three
months ago and the wife, went to DEN
yer. Colo. Helms lured her back. sshe
says, by writing that he had broken
his collarbone Since then their life
again had become unhappy, said the
wife.

"ooc" MIpoLEroN,s DEATH.
Desperate Left a Six. Shooter Tn.

0esPsraoo Lett Six. Shooter That
Killed Twenty. Seven.
The barrel Of the gun of Doc" Mid
dleton, who died in Jail in Douglas.
Wyo.. few days ago, was SO covered
with notches-there were twenty-s seven
OF them-that there was not room for
oil on one side, 80 the redoubtable
owner had to turn the weapon over and
begin making marks on the other.
According to the gossip-when old Doc
wasn't around-notches had been cut
in that gun barrel in half the trans
Missouri states. -Four were cut in one
day.
Time was when doc" was wanted
in half dozen states, with rewards
aggregating probably $4,000 hanging
over his head. The vigilantes OF Ne
braska, Kansas. Colorado, Wyoming,
New Mexico. Arizona and few other
states always were on the lookout for
him, and instructions were that he be
hanged without the formality of a
trial.
BE sure it's Doc and then go ahead;
and II there's any doubt about its be-
ing Doc, 90 ahead anyway" were the
general orders.
He died Of measles and pneumonia.
Middleton was the king of the cattle
rustlers. He rustled cattle all the way
from Bozeman to Taos, from Abilene
to Aberdeen, from Omaha to Ogden.
The vigilantes were formed primarily
to stop cattle thieving. The rustlers
formed an organization known as the
"Hoodoos' for the purpose Of protect
ing themselves from the vigilantes.
Dozens Of rustlers and vigilantes were
killed.
Near Sidney, Neb. one day. the Wig
ilantes got after Middleton, who had
been accused of stealing a cow. This
time Middleton was innocent, 1t is said.
He got word the vigilantes were COM
ing. SO he saddled his cow pony and
took to the range The vigilantes
picked up his trail and there was a
running fight lasting half day. That
evening Middleton cut four notches in
his gun.
Two days later he surrendered to the
sheriff. who put him in the Sidney jail.
THE gang came to the jail as soon
as they heard was in there" Middle
ton used to say. "They demanded that
be turned over to them. The sheriff
said NO They poked their. rifles thru
the bars and wanted to shoot me, but
the sheriff threatened to kill the first
man who fired. so they went away. I
swore to get every man Of that COM
mittee.
1.-THE next day the fellow who had
sold me that critter came to town and
stood by me. was released. Then I
got my fellows together. Some of us
got every man we marked. Kid Scott
got the leader. scalped him and wore
his scalp at his, belt"
As a poker player. Middleton was a
success. In Cheyenne one night he got
into game with q boastful stranger
from the east. At daylight the stranger
leaned back in his chair.
I'm all in" he said. II had $1,000

house one afternoon, there's some
asparagus Just ready for eating. Come!
You shall gather the first fruits from

There was nothing she would like to
have done more. But, alas! asparagus
gathering was not one Of her strong
points. In fact. she didn't even know
what the stun looked like In its snatur-
al state. So, anxious not TO give her
