WHM tVDED DEVIL CWCSStDand DIED. Sensational Climajc in the Career of "Reckless Carl Sat her land, Who Failed at West Point, Who Robbed, RJlted, Married and Tried to Reform, Failed A fain, Wrote a Confession and a Poem, and Put a "Bullet Into His Brain.

OS ANGELES.—“Red Devil" Sutherland, the late outlaw, was one of those stranger-than-fletion characters that Byron would have put into a Corsair poem, and around whom

f(

Robert Louis Stevenson would have "woven a thrilling romance. The young bandit himself made a dash at both these literary bids for fame, but fate Iwas closing in on him too fast. A man who really means business about killing others and then shakes hands with death itself can better express himself in deeds than in poetic numbers. The strange, inscrutable, baffling truth remains that this same desperado was of the stuff that genuine heroes are made of—that his very crimes traced their inception to qualities which, when developed instead of perverted, cause other men to be honored, knighted, sainted and sung about. He had heart, courage, gratitude, loyalty to friends and chivalry toward women. His debut as a bandit was made out of boyish admiration for the train-robber who had taken his part against a bully. His last thought was to provide for the wife whose love and trust he had never forfeited. Yes, Carl was a bad man, and deserved to die. But he owned up to it without a snivel, and took his medicine more bravely than some better men might have done. An amazing story of crime that re■calls the daring escapades of Jesse James and the coterie of bandits who terrorized the whole country a quarter of a century ago has just been revealed in Los Angeles, after the murder of a brave police captain, in the cold handwriting of the murderer himself, who died a suicide rather than be taken prisoner. Stirred by Recital of Crime. Not since the old days, when there were no railroads and men seeking their fortunes in the far west were ■compelled to cross the plains in prairie wagons and stage coaches, has the entire stretch of country west of the Mississippi been so stirred as by this astounding recital of crime by ■one who, in the closing chapter of his desperate career, penned his own epitaph in the following words: 'The last fatal moment is just ahead, and the bandit knows he will soon be dead; How lonesome you must be, when your finish you see, and you know you must meet A violent end. Your past life before you flies, and a voice within you cries, “Oh, for another chance to mend.” But you grit your teeth hard, and to some distant friend Bid “Good-by, Pard,” and your enemies you try to r»nd, while they are filling you with lead. 'TOO LATE.” By Carl. How wise we are when ’tis too late, and a glance we backward cast; We know just what we should have done, when the time for doing is past. While an entire city was mourning the loss of “one of its bravest and most devoted defenders of clean citizenship,” a woman —the wife of the self-slain bandit —lay ill and helpless •on a cot. in a rude cottage by the seashore extolling what appeared to her to be the virtues of the man who by his own admission was the perpetrator ■VWVTWWV’rVTVVVW’rWTVTW CHASE AWAY THE “BLUES.” Laughter Is the Enemy of Dyspepsia and Kindred Evils. I know a family with whom it Is a perfect joy to dine. The members of this famil vie with one another in seeing who can say the brightest, wittiest, funniest things and tell the best stories during dinner. Dyspepsia and nagging were unknown there. The announcement of dinner should be the signal for a jolly good time. Make the dinner hour the brightest, eheerfulest, most sunshiny hour of the whole day. Fine all “knockers” and ■everyone who appears with a long face Laughter and fun are the enemies of dyspepsia and the "blues.” The home ought to be a sort of theater for fun and all sorts of sports—a place where the children should take th« active parts, although the parents shook come in for a share, too.

of scores of the most daring train robberies and other wrong-doings that have ever come to light in America. On a recent Saturday afternoon, when the clock in the big tower of the Los Angeles county courthouse stroked two, there was witnessed a scene the like of which has not been enacted in this country since the death of President McKinley. As the body of Walter Auble, oldest member in point of active service in the Los Angeles police department, was being borne to its last resting place, every man, woman and child in the “Angel City” stood with bowed and uncovered head, that fitting tribute might be paid to the memory of an officer who died while in the performance of his duty. It was such a scene as Broadway witnessed during the “silent hour" when the body of William McKinley was in transit from his late residence in Canton, 0., to the grave. Perhaps no city ever paid a higher tribute to the memory of its hero dead than did this big, bustling town that nestles among the orange groves and flowers of Southern California.

Modern Dick Turpin. But toTcluTu to the W-s-as cSiFd; Sutherland, scion of honest middle western parents, who turned “black sheep” and died laughing, jeering, cursing his ups and downs, relating his “attempts at reform." and, finally, the change in the tide—the turn of the card—that ended his meteoric career. It is a story that is none the less frank than thrilling, yet one that almost curdles the blood and leaves the impression that, after all, Robert Louis Stevenson was, perhaps, milder in his treatment of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde than human nature itself. Were Jesse James and the score of other outlaws of his ilk, who robbed, pillaged and murdered in the early days, alive, they might marvel at the story of Carl D. Sutherland, a modern Dick Turpin, written before he encountered Capt. Auble, laid the fearless officer low with six shots fired in rapid succession, then ran away to die a few hours later by his own hand. It was addressed to Jack Henderson, a private detective and guardian of Westchester place, a fashionable residential section of Los Angeles, and began: “Dear Sir —You will, no doubt, be very much surprised to receive this letter. In fact, you won’t receive it at all unless I, Carl D. Sutherland, alias Joseph Palmer, alias Jack Ames, alias Carl Sherwood, etc., am dead. “The reason that 1 write this letter to you is because I was impressed with your personality, and decided that you were a brave and an honest man. In fact you looked a great deal like my father, and if there ever was a man that was the soul of honor, he was. "Since I have been 15 years of age I have never yet seen the man I was in the least afraid of, and yet I have met a few whom I recognized as more than my match. When I saw you I knew in a second a man that would rather take a man alive if possible; but that would take him if you were after him unless he was quicker than you with his gun and killed you. Asks Aid for His Wife. “Liberty is far more dear to me than life, and if I am ever taken I have a right to expect that you will contribute something besides vinegar to the dinner hour and the evening. Did not .Lycurgus set up the god of laughter in the Spartan eating halls because he thought there was no sauce like laughter at meals? The constantly increasing success of the vaudeville playhouses and other places of amusement all over this country shows the tremendous demand in the human economy for fun. Most people do not appreciate that this demand must be met in some form or the character will be warped and defective. “Laugh until I come back,” was a noted clergyman’s “good-by” salutation. It is a good one for us all. — Orison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine. Life Saving a la Mode. The Victim* Help! Help! I'm drowning. Would-Be Hero—Cour a-e, my brave man!

will be taken dead, and I leave you this and I beg you to do the best you can with it and if you can make any money out of it I beg you to see that my poor little sick wife gets a third or fourth of it. I know I can trust you to do this, for I believe you to be honorable and it is not more than right, for my wife is a good, true, honest and hard-working little womaii; a lady by birth and nature and from a good old southern and Kentucky family. She deserved a far better man than I. ‘‘When it is known that I am an outlaw, and have been most of my life, most every one will say: ‘He's a bad one,' and that’s all. I wish the world to know the truth, for there are a certain few whom I want to know that I was not as bad as they are sure to paint me. If I am killed I am sure to become notorious, as much of my past is sure to crop out and my name is disgraced, and as that is the case 1 may as well have the truth told as just part, and maybe a whole jugful of lies added to It." After giving the place of his birth as Lamar, Barton county, Mo;, and the date September 29, 18S2, this remarkable autobiography of Sutherland deals with his family. It speaks of his father being fire marshal of Pittsburg. Kan., then deputy sheriff, red «f m* relative*- uS^ng fought in every war this country has been engaged in from 1775 to the present time, except the Spanish-American war.”

Black Sheep of Family. "All have been honest—too honest, in fact, but I,” wrote the young bandit’ “I am the last of my race and the one black sheep. From a delicate, timid and refined boy 1 grew into a desperate young rascal, ready to shoot any man.” Next is the account of his meeting with Joe Palmer, alias Jack Wells, the notorious train robber. It was the turning point in Sutherland’s young life; he chose the blacker side. Because Palmer had taken his part against "a big bully on a farm in Kansas" Sutherland believed he owed Palmer a debt of gratitude. So, when Palmer and "his pal, Frank Errington, tried to hold up a depot and a rich horseman at Oswego, Kan., and later shot a deputy sheriff and were cornered” Sutherland stole a boat and under cover of darkness slipped by the camp of the posse that held the two men on the banks of the Nesho river, got Palmer and Errington and carried them on down the stream to freedom. Events followed swiftly after that. Sutherland and Palmer robbed “an old miser on a lonely road near Cherry- \ ale, Kan. Joining the other members of the gang later, they held up an M. K. & K. train near Denison, Tex. Then came the robbery of the depot, at Lamar, Mo. Here Walter Craig became one of the band. When he tried Io pull off a second robbery at the Lamar depot, Sutherland’s ' autobiography says, “my old schoolmate, who was night operator, put a bullet into Craig’s lungs, from which he died.” Hiding Place for Gang. After reciting the details of half a dozen other bold and daring crimes, the story shifts to Pittsburg, Kan.,’ “where pretty Nellie Errington was keeping a cottage, under an assumed name, for the gang to run in and rest up, if necessary,” Next we find Sutherland in the hands of a vigilance committee which is about to hang him. The rope is

SAMPLE OF BRITISH RED TAPE. May or May Not Be True, but It Makes a Good Story. At a dinner in New York during his disastrous American visit, Henri Farman, the aviator, complained of the American customs regulations. “With their affidavits, declarations, examinations and what not,” said Mr. Farman, “there is too much red tape about your customs. A man gets lost in all this red tape, as they say a foreigner was once lost in the red tape of the British post office. “This foreigner stood, one luckless evening, before the newspaper box in the London post office. The box has a huge mouth. Newspapers are thrust into it in bales. As the inquisitive foreigner bent over it a bale of newspapers struck his shoulder, and with a dull thud he fell into the box. “His friends ran around to the counters to rescue him. The clerks, however, paid no attention to their demands. The foreigner was in the mail box. Accordingly they would treat him as mail matter.

It is while i this ‘council” h in progress that Sutherland escapes. Sutherland jo ins his pals a short distance away. The vigilance committee pursues them, and Nellie Errington. learnln g of the committee's movements, jui ipa on a horse and goes to warn the robbers. She is mistaken for one as them and killed. 1 ree-for-all sho otlng followed, several of the committee were wounded, but the desperados, i got away. Did Honest Work for a Time. Sutherland tl ten worked for a time as a delivery < lerk in the Creek Nation. after whi th he committed more , robberies and was arrested for the first and only ime in bis life by the ■ sheriff of Lam>! ,r, Mo. He spent some nine months in a reformatory, escaped and joined the army as a musician under the narm i of Jack Ames. He was ambitious to b iconic an army officer, but Errington bobbed up again, and, knowing that ie would be found out sooner or later 1 Sutherland went back to the old lifi^ ^oing^ Angeles Sutherland "fffm nnfpals planned several crimes, among them t*je kidnaping of a mil lionaire and hiding of him for $200.000 ransom. Wfhis was spoiled, he wrote, because! the selected victim suddenly went Bibroad. The autobiography tells of numerous car hold-upw in San Francisco; of several murders!, and then of the time when he “married and determined to reform for good!." Sutherland continued: “I longed,! oh, how much, for a clean name, a hfcme, friends and to be somebody.” I Sutherland wals now clerk in the University club lat Los Angeles. His wife had been si telephone operator. She knew nothinkof his duplicity—his double life —and tshe was happy. They decided to buy A ranch in Oklahoma out of their saviAgs, and were well on the way to achiewing the one desire they had so longKd and planned for when the panic clame and all went to smash. Sutherland lost his job; with it went the ranch in Oklahoma. He pondered over his plight. He could see no way but ithe old way. That was the easiest; Me would follow it for a time, then whlen he got enough money together hA and his wife would go to Oklahoma, Ibuy back the ranch and live happily aver after. So it was, Sutherland found anothei pal. They robbea and pillaged; the Los Angeles politic found them out, and—the rest of title story has been told.—New York World.

CORN YIELD LIGHT; HIGH GRADE. No Bumper Crop in Indiana, Owing to Wet Spring. Indianapolis.—lndiana may not have a “bumper” crop of corn this year, but | the quality of the cereal is so much better than last year that the farmers will be gainers when they make comparisons. The crop last year was estimated at 150,000,000 bushels, but much of it was unmerchantable or was poor feed for live stock, because it had not matured at frost time. Early freezing ,in many localities made the cereal soft and practically valueless. i The crop this year may not exceed 120.000,000 bushels, but most of it is of high grade—well-formed kernels almost as hard as flint —and little of it, I except in the northern counties on i farms reclaimed from marshes and on bottom lands, was damaged by ‘ front. These statements are based on I reports from correspondents of the l Indianapolis News on the corn grow--1 ing counties and are the consensus of 1 opinion of leading farmers and grain dealers. The estimates of yield given । by the correspondents are borne out ! in the main by the statistics compiled by Mary Stubbs Moore, who obtained , her estimates from assessors and other reliable sources of information. The ! state statistician’s figures, given in I tabular form elsewhere, show the crop 1 this year to be short in acreage, aver-
