FINNETY’S fortune.
Ir D-d Not, Turn His Head Nor Cause Him
*' to Go Back on His Poor Relations.
Pi-an the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Petei Finnerty, the, semi-millionaire, who
suddenly at Waukesha last, Tuesday.
., history resembling in many respects
tv,: of many other individuals who struck
j. , a in the golden and silver regions.
] n:i teen years iigo he yvas doing his best to
n ake a poor farm neat- Keokuk, la., pay,
l„, t mortgage after mortgage sank his hopes
-,ut of sight, and at last he was obliged to
to stroraboating. He ran for some
.inn as a deck hand on the river, between
Keokuk and St. Louis. In 1874 he came
1V,.-4, attracted by the chances of big pay
n et the possibility of running across a for
*u!ll,. He went to work as a miner
ju San Luis Park, yvbere he re
r,: mu and ui t 1 tlie Leadville excitement broke
( Then lie crossed the Mosquito Range
B and became a jobber on Friar Hill. He
. ~,,,,1 two span of mules and was hauling
the smelters, when one day he discov
ered the “Little Chief.” Taking the Dillon
|,rotiiri‘s iu with him they worked the claim
until they struck mineral. Almost imme
diately the mine was bonded for a few weeks
e, a Chicago syndicate, headed by Harwell,
who paid $35,000 down, and yvere to pay
f idO.OOO more on the date when the bond
expired. In the meantime Finnerty and the
t),u „;s found that they had let millions slip
hv the sale, and they did everything in their
power to prevent the Chicago parties from
carrying out their share of the contract.
Tlie telegraph wires were repeatedly cut
60 .. to prevent communication between the
D'iidville and Chicago ends of tho bargain,
gad that the sellers might at any rate get as
, 11U eh as possible out of the mine, they put a
jot of men to work in it, and gophered it for
nearly $50,000 worth of mineral. The Cbi
capoans appreciated the good thing which
they had, and made sure of completing the
tale. They sent the $300,000 balance in
(turnbacks from Denver by a messenger,
who had an escort of six men, headed
by the late W. Frank Smith, a
pocky Mountain detective. The party
ru ie to the end of the Denver and South
Park railway, and then took mules across
the mountains. They arrived in Leadville
ut noon of the day for the payment of the
money, and it was counted out to Messrs.
Finnerty & Dillons in Tabor Bank, and
they parted yvith “Little Chief"’ forever,
goon after selling the “Little Chief” Fin
lu-rty disappeared from Leadville. At this
time Col. JciSh Atkins, of the Rocky
Mountain Sews, who yvas his intimate ami
confidential friend, says he had deposited
there in bank to his credit $lOO,OOO.
During the years he had been away from
his former home in loyva a brother had
lied, leaving a large family dependent upon
the product of a badly mortgaged farm. A
sister on another farm had also been over
taken by a family bereavement, and her
financial condition was no better than that
of her brother’s wife. Unannounced Peter
appeared upon tho scene. The story of his
Hidden wealth had not reached the farm
heigh borhood in which years before
he had struggled a poor, honest,
bard-rvorking farmer. Without mak
ing known the real purpose of his mission,
be under some pretext or other, took the
two widows and their children to a neighbor
ing city. Here the little ones yvere all dressed
11(1 in tailor-made clothes, the best money
could buy, and the other boys and girls each
furnished with a suitable gold watch and
chain. The astonished children were taken
Mck to their mothers, who yvere left at the
jest hotel in the city, while Peter went out
with the children “for a walk.” Their de
light and astonishment knew no bounds,
b ext the women folks were decked out in cost
ly raiment and given elegant gold watches,
fhev protested against the extravagance,
u:d with tears in their eyes said all these
toe clothes and gold watches were enough,
Cut the money they had cost would go far
toward wiping out the mortgages on their
farms. With a good-natured smile Peter
told them to never mind the farms, they
would be taken care of in good time. Two
•pans of fine horses, with harness and car
tiages, yvere next purchased and ordered in
front of the hotel, and there inspected by
the astonished families.
Peter had not yet got through. He next
visited a prominent bank and placed $5,000
to the credit of each widow, presenting
them with bank books and blank checks.
By the time Peter had gone this far he yvas
the talk of the city in which this had taken
plpce, but the great-hearted Irishman was
cot yet through. With their elegant
•quipages the entire party set out for their
Ijfmer homes, less than twenty miles.
Bn the way they halted long
enough at the county seat where the mort
|ages on then - farms yvere paid off and clear
t eds handed over to the overjoyed yvidows,
whose rainy eyes and happy hearts spoke
buder than words of the most eloquent ora
tor. A day or two later Peter left tho
neighborhood, and in due time put in an np
tearanee at Leadville. He told the story to
Col. Atkins as it is hero, enjoining him to
make no talk.” This was the bright side of
cis adventures after the sale of the Little
Chief.
There is a dark side also. During Fin
nerty’s absence his wife yvas persuaded into
tecuring a divorce from him, and she mar
hed anothor man. Peter knew this, and
bis generous treatment of tho other folks
bud in it something of the spirit of Irish re
fenge, and it aroused the former wife to
Ji ti'm. she brought suit against Peter for
Mi.ooO for the maintenance of his three,
laughters, aged now respectively 22, I'd,
tfi'j hi years. The father used to send for
>li*‘ children, who were brought to his
Htel when lio visited Keokuk,
oul one day the former Mrs. Fin
3"rty and her lawyers swooped down
, R on him, and from that time on he was
'ringed to shun lowa, and always remained
Finss the river yvlion he visited that sec
l"n - Lawyers and detectives yvere after
ui everywhere, and tried to make trouble
' him, but he at last, through a Catholic
t; ‘J-st, secured a release of tho children for
vi.iKii). The children were placed in a semi

GOOD STORIES OF PRESENT DAY.
When Detectives Are at a Loss Luck
Sometimes Comes to Help Them.
From the Xctv York .Situ.
Ten or twelve years ago, when I was on
the detective force of Cincinnati, two or
three very shrewd rascals “hung up” the
town for three or four weeks in a way which
annoyed us not a little. They were chaps
known as porch climbers, ami the way they
did their business was simply slick. Porch
climbing was then in its infancy. A sneak
thief might be ready to take advantage of
an open door or window on the lower story,
but as for ‘‘shinning up” a column to reach
a balcony, or using a light ladder to enter a
chamber window, no one had ever tried it.
The very first job done by the gang re
sulted in a haul of $OOO worth of jewelry.
Your common thief no sooner lias any plun
der in nis hand than he hastens off to the
pawnshop to make a raise. This jewelry
was not put up, neither were the socond and
third hauls. Then we knew that we had to
deal with rascals who had come well heeled
and were holding on to their stuff or ship
ping it to some other city for sale. The first
throe robberies were made at the supper
hour, when all the family were in the dining
room or down stairs. The papers made such
an ado about it as to place citizens on their
guard and tlie thieves changed their hours.
It was in summer and very hot yveather,
and all up-stairs windoyvs were open for
ventilation. They yvent into three or four
houses through second-story yyindows in tlio
evening or up to as late as midnight, and
cleaned out jewel cases without being seen
or heard.
Perhaps the boldest feat yvas the sixth job
undertaken. There was a small one-story
house standing beside ail elegant mansion.
The little house was on a twiner. One of tile
fellows mounted to the roof, crept along to
the larger house and then ascended the tin
conductor on the big house to a bath room
window. The blinds inside were locked but
ho hung to the sill yvith one hand until he
could open them yvith the other. People on
the street saw him and a policeman called
out to know what he was doing. The fellow
was then sitting in the windoyv dangling his
legs in a careless way and lie replied:
“Jim and I do that for exercise every
night.”
With that he disappeared into the bath
room and proceeded to ransack the various
rooms on that floor. It seemed that all the
family except a daughter were away to a
neighbor’s and the young lady had a beuu
in the parlor. The servants yvere out on a
rear veranda and the rooms were thus at
the mercy of the thief. He took his time in
making his search and, while he was after
money and jewelry first, he did not despise
laces, opera glasses and valuable bric-a-brac.
He made up a large bundle of stuff, took a
cigar which he found on a mantel and was
puffing away in the coolest manner when
he descended the front stairs. The girl
heard him and came out into the hall and
asked:
“Did you want to see papa?”
“Yes* my dear,” was the ready reply;
“but he seems to be out. Tell him I called,
will you?”
“What is the name?”
“Wilcox—Judge Wilcox. I brought ray
Egyptian curios over for him to look at, but
some other night will do as well.”
She saw him depart without a thought of
how he entered and the robbery was, of
course, discovered later on. The detectives
were instructed to let everything drop to
hunt down these slick fellows' and there was
any amount of cursing and jawing over our
ill luck. We had every hotel and boarding
house under strict scrutiny, but we could
turn up no suspicious characters ansyvering
to the description of these. The man who
sat on the sill of the bath room window was
said to have long black whiskers. The one
who passed for Judge Wilcox had auburn
Burnsides and was an unctuous sort of a
fellow. Five hundred men could have been
found in a day’s hunt to answer these de
scriptions. For many days the post office
was watched, strangers were dogged about,
depots guarded, and gardens and concert
halls looked after, but yve made no arrests.
At least every second night there was a
fresh robbery and every second day the
papers had opportunity to come out with a
fresh artlclo and belabor us. We were seem
ingly doing all that men could do and our
position was truly uncomfortable. The cli
max came about in the oddest sort of way.
On one of the fashionable thoroughfares
lived an old maid —that is, she yvas one of a
family, being, if I remember right, the man’s
sister. She was pretty well off and always
had several hundred dollars in a bureau
drawer in her room. She had read about
the work of the gang and was in a state of
terror for fear the house yvould be visited.
One day a brilliant idea occurred to her.
She would capture one of the mob. She
planned it that one of them would climb up
to her corner window by means of the con
ductor, enter without disturbing her, as she
yvas a sound sleeper, and go for that money.
What did she do hut go out and buy a steel
trap—something big enough to hold a fox.
She got one of the servants to set it for her
and tlie open trap was placed in the top bu
reau drawer, and the chain led out through
the back side and made fast.
Two nights passed yvithout another depre
dation. We yvero keeping such a sharp
lookout that the felloyvs had to bo more fly.
On the third night, at exactly a quarter of
13, the old maid was aroused from her deep
sleep by a human yell of pain, and she was
no sooner on end than she saw that she hail
caught her man. He was down on his knees
in front of the bureau and both hands were
fast in tlie trap. His first yell was his only
one. When he found the woman was awake
he calmly observed:
“Excuse me, but I think I’m in the wrong
room. Please don’t make any disturbance
about it.”
“Who are you?”
“A friend of Will’s and yve both came
home a little sprung. Won’t you please
help me to get rnv hands loose?”
There was a >Vill about the house—the
man’s own son —but he had not been out
that evening, nor was he in the habit of
drinking. Without getting out of bed the
woman touched an electric button, and
within ten minutes the house was aroused
and two policemen had the man in charge.
The jaws of the trap had caught him about
the wrists and he hud suffered a good deal
of pain. He was the Judge Wilcox chap,
Burnsides, unction and all. When taken to
the station his whiskers wore found to be
glued on, and he also hail a false wig. When
these were removed he stood forth as pert
and trim a thief as you would yvish to over
haul. He turned out to boa Now Orleans
man named Davis, and was only 20 years
old.
Tho capture of Davis’ partner followed
swiftly, and also in a curious wav. Asa
train yvas aliout ready to leave for the North
a spruce young fellow came into the baggage
department at tho depot to get his trunk
checked. It was there all right, but he got
into a jangle yvith tho expressman about the
charge for bringing it down and tho depot
officer finally arrested both. On the yvay to
tho station too young fellow tried to bribe
tho officer and that settled him. We went
for the trunk and when it was opened overy
dollar’s worth of property which had been
stolen yvas found therein. If there yvas a
third man in the party, which some of us
believed, ho saved his bacon and got out
some other way. In tho baggage of tlie
second mail, whom wo never identified,
were three different yvigs and whiskers to
match. Both had boon in disguise when
abroad and it yvas little wonder we could
not spot the right men. Both are still in
prison or have not been at liberty over a
year.
Manv People Refuse to Take Cod
Liver Oil on account of its unpleasant taste.
This difficulty has been overcome in Scott’s
Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with Hypophos
phites. It being as palatable as milk, and
tho most valuable remedy kuown for the
treatment of consumption, scrofula and
bronchitis, general debility, wasting diseases
of children, chronic coughs and colds, has
roused physicians in all parts of the world
to use it. Physicians report our little pa
tiont.s take it with pleasure. Try-Scott’s
i Emulsion and be convinced.

MUCH IN A HORSE’S NAME.
Men Are Influenced to Bet Again:.t
Their Bettor Judgment.
“I often bet against my judgment,” sad
a prominent bettor on horse races to a Mail
and Express reporter yest r.lay at tiie Hoff
man House. He mused awhile and thui
added: ”1 know it seems a paradox, but
betting on horses is very queer. I went out
to the races the other day fully resolved to
stake my money on the horse that won
A friend of mine who lost $lB,OOO
during the last few weeks
happened along and asked me
what horse I intended to bet on. I replied
Sea Foam. ‘That name doesn't sound well,
and a derrick couldn't pull me to back that
horse,’ he said emphatically, and he strolled
on. That put me to thinking and I changed
my mind and selected a losing horse. There
is not one man in a hundred that goes to the
races to bet who has a mind of his own. A
straw will change the ninety-nine. Names
have a great deal to do with betting on
horses. Sea Foam is not a good name; it
sounds shoddy. But Hindoo, Hildebrand,
Hogarth, and names of tlias kind influence
betting. 1 will not bet on a shoddy-named
horse. 1 pretend that I am never influenced
by tips, so called, Imt I am: 1 can’t help it.
Now the judgment of that man who said
ho would not bet on .Sea Foam I had the
greatest confidence in, although ho lists lost
a great deal of money trusting his own
opinion. You see, men who bet catch at
straws and are as variable as the wind. The
successful plungers are men who trust solely
on their own judgment and bet that way
through thick and thin. It is all stulY to
say that betting on horses is luck. Some
times it may be pure luck with the man who
doesn't know anything about horses, but
tho majority of those who bet think they
know all about the equine race, although, as
I. said, they can be influenced easily.”
A Russian Blasphemy Case.
Odessa Dispatch to the London Daily News.
I was present yesterday in the Appellate
Court here when an appeal was heard from
a Russian peasant named Krzyzanovski
against the sentence of six months’ im
prisonment adjudged him by the Kamenetz-
Podolsk Tribunal for blasphemy. The ap
pellant’s offense was this ; Tired and weary
after a long day’s labor in the harvest field
last year, ho entered the village tavern and
drank a glass of vodka. After this appe
tizer he was supplied with a small meat roll,
called in Russian “pirog.” The peasant
found the “pirog” such excellent eating
that he exclaimed: “I would rather kiss the
girl who made this pirog than the Icon!”
The latter is the sacred picture never absent
from any Russian habitation, before which
it is usual for visitors to uncover and cross
themselves. The peasant’s exclamation was
highly complimentary to the cook of the
tavern but the pal ish priest, to whom it was
reported, heard and judged it in a different;
light. Hence the prosecution and sentence.
Tlie peasant whom I saw enter the box and
devoutly cross himself before the “Icon” in
court, was a middie-aged jovial, and good
tempered looking man, who apiieared much
relieved by the court reducing the original
sentence to cine month’s arrest.
