THE BURGLAR CAPTURED BY A PLUCKY GIRL Miss Lucy Frank Levels a Pistol at a Ma- rauder and Holds Him at Bay Until Aid Arrives. GRASS VALLEY, Sept. 17.—Nevada County has a heroine of whom it may well be proud in the person of Miss Lucy Frank, the pretty 18- year-old daughter of John Frank, an industrious farmer of Rough and Ready. About midnight last night the young barking of dogs and listening intently thought she lady was awakened by the heard footsteps.

I will not ob- ject to having it transferred to any other court. I don’t like it any more— no, really I don't. Tell them—tell them that I will not feel put out a bit if they ask for a change of venue. Do me the justice to tell them that.” The pleadings of the aged Judge, caught at last in his prostitution of justice, was pitiful. He fairly whined himself into tears, but steadfastly refused to allow a photograph to be taken of the docu- ment. “I might do this for any one else but The Call,” he continued, “but that pa- per has not treated me right. It has printed things about me that I did not like and I do not think that I owe it any courtesies.” Again the Judge showed by his own words and actions that his personal feelings were the only power that moved the machinery of his court. It was explained to him that The Call did not ask for any special favors or anything that the law did not give it a right to demand. While this conversation was going on the Judge spread the complaint before him, and carefully ran his peneil through the writing that was by this time ing him so much uneasiness. Even though it was Sunday and his court closed, according to his idea, he did not hesitate to alter the records. There, nov aid he, when he had finished the job, hat settles it.

With the writing hidden beneath his fnartistic daubing the Judge felt that buggy Rodden he had baffled the camera. Wil permitted the photo- graphi a focus on the front of the document. When the camera was turned on the Judge's inscription his heart failed and he ran a mighty and a sperate bluff.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.— Notwith- standing repeated denials, rumors of an extra session of Congress are persistent- ly circulated. Public men who are closest to the President declare that he has no thought of calling Congress to- gether before the regular time for its assembling on the first Monday in De- cember. Mr. McKinley hopes that by the time Congress meets in regular ses- sion he will be enabled to announce some substantial progress in the Philippine campaign and hold out hopes of an early settlement of affairs in those islands.
