OUR JOLLY OLD BUKGLA.B PROVES

TO BL LITTLE SAMMY RANDOLPH.

He Pay3 His Weekly \iiit to Bisckof's Ba­

zaar, fights Two Men and Escapes While a Large Audience Gapes

With Wonder.

The jolly old burglar is ao more or if he is he has been shamefully imposed upon by little Sammy Randolph walking in his footsteps. Sammy is aCrawfordsville product and resides with his mother i.n Walnut- street. Sammy is pubescent but not pretty. His hair is inclined to be the hue of tow and hi6 complexion is a yellow melancholy spangled o'er with mnuve colored freckles. Sammy is a youth fcnown to fame if not to fortune. From his earliest boyhood he has been an ardent disciple of the prize ring and in the lingo of the turf is "handy wid his props." He is perfectly fajiiliar with every nook and crevice in the business portion of Crawfordsville and this same knowledge stood him well in hand last night. For several week the police have had him spotted for the daring burglaries and all but had a case against him. They were waiting the springing of a little trap they had laid for him when Sammy sprang another trap and then escaped. Monday night some one entered Biechof's baz:iar again but the matter was kept quiet. The p:ipers were kept still and no .word given out. Certain that the burglar would return again .John Bischof and Howard Mack slept in the back room just north of the skylight by which the burglar ia wont to enter. Last night they were in the room quite early.

Along about 10 o'clock Master Sammy Randolph was in Johnson's saloon and was challenged to a game of pool. Sammy stated that he was "broke" but rather thought he could raise a little wind in the course of half an hour and went ont. He braced up the stairway just west of the store and going to the rear climbed out on the roof and meandered back to the skylight. He raised one of the windows and called softiy, "Louis! Loais!" No one responding he called again, "Venus! Venus! There's a bum on the roof." All was silent and after a few minutes wait Master Sammy wormed his wav through the window and slid down one of the supporting columns with grace and ease. He had started for the office with a cat like glide when Messrs. Bischof and Muck, attired in the night shirts and maiden modesty, stepped out between him and the waybv which he had entered. When the lad perceived that he was trapped he leaped forward but then stopping called, "There's a tramp on the roof trying to get in and I just came down to tell you about it." "Yes, yon were the tramp your own self," sweetly murmured John as he drew a big revolver and pointed it at Sammy's head. He walked up and took hold of the lad's collar and started toward the front door with him. But Sammy couldn't see it that way. He is considerably smaller than his captor but he had taken exercise in the prize ring and proceeded to put np a game fight. He kept pounding John quite heartily and finally John to terrorize him fired his revolver four times. Randolph then seized the weapon to wrench it away and thereupon John threw it away several feet-

Immediately Randolph broke away and ran for the weapon, but was headed off by John. By this time about fifty people from Laymon's cigar store and the streets had assembled in front and were betting even money on the result of the fight. One good man even went so far as to sell pools, offering Howard Mr.:?: as a dark horse 1 to 2'J. Finally Jolin broke away with his hand badly cut and sprained, and taking the front door key from the wall started foward to let the crowd in. Then Sammy turned to the back room to hunt Howard Muck np and put a head on him. Howard was found and was being punched in a

most scientific manner when the crowd came in with a rush. Sammy desisted from hia pleasant onployraent and starkd to climb the pole to escape. He hod started when John Oallihan seized bini by the leg. He gave a good hard pull, however, and got away. He was 900n at the top of the pole and went shooting through the window, taking glass and all with him. Officer Gill arrived on the scene just here and learning that the burglar was on the roof ran around to the alley by THE JOCKNAL building juet as Sammy was preparing to leap from the low roof. Sammy saw him, however, and lan back followed by a bullet from the officer's revolver. He ran for some distance over the buildings which have one story additions in the rear. Sammy was in fine feather and sang derisively as he ran—

They're after me, they're after nie: To capture me is everyoue's desire They're after me. they're ufter me

I'm the very Individual they require. He broke into the room above Lacey & Pontious' store and here he was lost in the shuffle. Officer Gill, after some tall climbing, gained the roof and followed him, but he had too far a start and had escaped bareheaded, his hat having fallen off in the store. The police searched for him all night but found him not. His mother's house was searched as were all his customary hauntB. The trains were watched but Sammy was not seen or heard of. The earth seemed to have swallowed the dear boy up. There is no doubt he committed most of the burglaries in the business part of town. Detchon's drug store was robbed twice and some perfumery and fine brushes taken. Sammy had promised such articles to his beBt girl for a New Years' gift and was to have delivered them to-day. Had he done so the heartless Delilah would have turned them over to the police without delay and landed her devoted lover behind the burs.

Kid Henderson to the front. A well-filled house gathered at the Empire theater last night to see the sparring exhibitions with the Fitzsimmons combination. The first bout was between Kid Henderson, of Crawfordsville, and Charles Grim, of this city, light weights. Henderson was the handier with the mittens, but Grim had the most strength. They boxed three rounds, the first one of which was distinguished by the remarkable hugging powers both men displayed. It was a hammer and tongs sort of a contest and both men landed some pretty hard blows. No blood was drawn, but both men looked as if they had all the fightng they wanted at the conclusion of third round. Neither getting any decided advantage the referee culled it draw.—Indianapolis Journal.

Kid Henderson has been scarce in Crawfordsville since his fight with Joe Tansey, "the champion of the southwest" near the red bride last September. The Kid has a host of admirers here, however, who will watch every step of his upward progress until he finally occupies an exalted position at the end ol a rope.

Obarity SufTereth Long and is Kind. The citizens of Crawfordsville and vicinity have responded liberally to the needs of the Orphan's Home since the unfortunate lire, and now that thi Matron is at the helm again and will bring order out of chaos it is thought the new Home will be quite comfortable. Yet if there are others* who feel the de sire to help there are some things thai are much needed. Chairs of all kinds and sizes, large and small, high and low, will be very acceptable, as well at looking glasses. There is much need ol a bureau or so, and a wash stand. Thold stylo bureau with several drawer? will be very useful in the Home. Tb work of the Association has been much lightened by this ready response and the managers feel grateful that our people "hath a hand open as day for melting charity."

Boney Wants Damages.

In 1389 David Lawton, of North Carolina, arrived in the city and going oui to Mace hired out his 18 year old son Boney to Andy Stone. Mr. Stone wat to feed him, send him to school and pa\ him fair wages, Boney WBB a lustv youth as stout as a three old steer but r,ither slow in thought. It is said thai he would frequently rise in the morning and try to put his pantaloons on over his head. This maj or may not be so. Anyhow he worked 11 months and t?ot no pay or schooling. He is accordingly suing for $250 for service rendered.

Horse Sale Postponed.

Elijah Clore has indefinitely postponed his horse sale which was advertised to take place on the 15th of June on account of distemper among some of the animals. He has, however, consigned three fine bloodel animals to John Lackey at Cambridge City who has a sale on February 21 2) The three he has consigned are Lew Wallace, by Favorite Wilkes, record 2:24} his dam, young Fanny, by Sterling acd a fast pacing mare, Flora C„ record, 2:2(5.

Stolen Horse Recovered and Thief Captured. A horse that was stolon from a hitch rack at Veodersburgh some teD days ago was recovered yesterday near Wav laud. The thief was captured on the farm of Elijah Clore. His name was John Lathrope. The detective work was done by a member of a horse company in Illinois. Lathrope was taken to Covington and lodged in jail.

Hogan the Humanitarian.

William Hogan lives in Danville, 111.,

!ind

is a member of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The other day William set out for a good morning walk and became so interested in connUng railroad ties that he was in Crawfordsville before he knew it. He ^as been here ever since and now has a tixed boarding house with prospects of good steady job up north. Last night tie was amusing a crowd of goodly gen'leman in a Plum street store and being solicited by the proprietor to bring a bucket of water he willingly went to the fountain at Brock's grocery. He saw a sight that caused his heart to grow sick, and large, salty tears to trickle down his cheeks. In a chicber coop outside the store sat a plump hen shivering in the midnight -lir. "Oh shame, where is thy blush called the grieved Hogan, "cruelty unspeakable! Oh beast to have this defenseless hen a prey to the blighting blasts of the weary winter wind. Come chickie, I'll take thee where'tis good and warm. I know of a nice hot frying pan 'twill warm thee." So spake he and thrust the grateful biddy under his arm just as officers Cnimes and Milholland came along and punched him. Danville society will doubtless be shocked to ascertain that Mr. Hogan now languishes in jail with a charge of chicken stealing chalked up against him.

DEFENSE OK THE PEACOCK.

It Is Not Tmc. said, That 111a Fret Are I'glj— 11. Court*. "Who says tl.o peacock has ugly foot?" remarked Taxidermist Wood, of the Smithsonian institution, to a Washingston Star reporter. "I have heard and read that piece of nonsense ever since I was a child, and I understand that it la recorded as an ornithological truth in classic Greek and Latin. You will coma across mention of it even in fables. To my mind it affords an illustration of the fact that most people never usa their own physical senses actively but depend for their notion of life and things upon the observations of others. "1 have just finished mounting this pair of peacocks. Isn't the male bird a beauty? You can see for ycror««lf that his feet are decidedly pretty and well shaped and rather small in proportion to his size. They are very slightly bigger than those of a turkey and are decidedly handsomer. The same can be said of the hen bird, inattractive though the latter is in other points. Wherever in the feathered kingdom the cock "bird is the handsomer he does the courting, while in the comparatively unusual case where the female is more gorgeous she it is that takes initiative in the love making. "It is a curious thing to observe that the male peacock in courting his chosen mate approaches her not with the brightly colored face of his feathery fan toward her but backward. Then, on coming close, he wheels suddenly about with every plume trembling in the sunlight and dazzles her all at once with His beauty. As for the popular misconception respecting his feet, there can be no doubt as to how it originated. When the peacock is pointed at, being naturally a wild bird, he is apt to drop his fan and scuttle away. Thus the impression was conveyed to the ignorant that he imagined his feet to be objects of attention and accordingly sought to hide them. Of course nothing could be more absurd."

How the Phrane Itcatrn to a Jelly" Originated. "The phrase 'beaten to a mummy' has been familiar to me fivt.i my youth and np, and I have always understood it as 'beaten to a jelly,"'' says a writer In Waverly Magazine. "Does it not refer to the medicinal substance formerly known as mummy, which kept its place in our dispensatories until pretty late in the last century? It was variously composed and not always of the same consistence, but in general appearance would probably resemble that of soft pitch. I speak now of the spurious kinds, which were doubtless most common. Even the 'genuine' sorts were not, however, necessarily Egyptian. "l'enicher, in his Traite des Embaumemens, pives directions for the composition of mummy from human flesh expressly for medicinal purposes. He recommends certain parts of the body to be used, and these to be dried, macerated and spiced out of all likeness to their natural condition. Mummy so prepared entered into a great variety of 'balms' and other Tncdieants, for which Penicher in his concluding chapter gives recipes from old writers. Some of these have the consistency of oil, others that of an ointment. It is clear, from the references In Nares, that mummy and its preparations were well known and from the 'make mummy of my flesh,' which Nares quotes from an old play, to 'beaten to a mummy' is a natural and easy stop,"

Not What They Ate.

It is customary for the railroad companies to treat witnesses well when they are subpoenaed to court. When a witness for a railroad company has to leave his work to testify, says the Philadelphia Press, the company pays him fully for the loss of his time in case the legal witness fee is not so much as the witness would have earned in his usual occupation. In addition, witnesses are given an order for their dinner at a restaurant near Sixth and Chestnut streets. The other day when the agent for the Heading railroad went to pay for the checks turned in by witnesses he found one for the unusually large sum of two ilolhu-s. hat in the world did the witness eat," asked the agent, "that his cheek should be two dollars?" "It wasn't what he ate," replied the caterer, "but what he ordered made his bill so big. After he finished his dinner he orden I a '."hole 1-i it til .1.
