As the Crowe Flies
A former St. I.oillslau, now n resident of
Omnhu, aildH a chapter of reminiscences to
tho Pat Crowe literature, which has be
come current by reason of tho outlaw's
allege 1 connection with the Cudahy kidnap
Inf.:. "In tho summer of lSOS." said tho nar
rator of the story, 'Tat Crowo was arreMcd
In St. Louis on the chnrKO of robbery. He
gavo tho police a merry chase and a running
flRht ensued, In which numerous shots wcro
fired. Crowe gave unmlstnltnblo evldenro
of his nerve, tint tho odds wero ngalnst him
and ho had to surrender. Shortly aftnr his
Incnrcoratlon at police hoadnuartcrs, ho was
6fll7cd with what appeared to bo symptoms
of Wolent Illness. After n hasty examination
a pilaoit physician ordered tho outlaw lo
bo transferred to tho city hospital fdo
tention ward, which wns securely barred
with iron.
"At tho hospital tho young medical In
tornca looked grave, or tried to do so,
and gavo out tho knowing declaration that
'l'at Crowe's days were numbered.' They
used unpronounceable names In diagnosing
his case, and Crowo said he felt his llfo
gradunlly ebbing away. For three monttu
ho occuplel a bunk In tho detention ward,
nnrtnklng of Just enough food to sustain
life. Meanwhile ho wn3 overwhelmed with
proscriptions, but ho evaded swallowing tho
greater part of tho medicluo on tho theory
that his stomach was too weak to retain
It. Much sympathy wns created. Women
sent flowers, sentimental men talked about
'tho passing of a hero and the detectives
said: 'A bad man has been shelved.' And
ns tho days pascd, the cheeks of tho out
law became more pallid, his volco grow
hollow and his eyes seemed to gink further
and further into his head. Father McNear
ney, n dovout and kind-hearted priest, was
a dally visitor to Crowo's cell. Ono day
thuro came from relntlves In Illinois n draft
for $200 In favor of Crowe. Tho hospital
superintendent cashed It and by suspension
of rules 'the dying outlaw' was permitted
to keep the money In his cell, It being a
slnglo coinpnrtmcnt. Ono evening Bhortly
nftor tho receipt of tho money, Crowo com
plained of unusual Illness.
" 'Send for Father McNearney,' ho cried,
'for I cannot live.'
"Father Mc.Nenrney wns hurriedly sum
moned nnd at hla suggestion, based 011 tho
'dying man's' request. Crowo was trans
ferred from tho detention ward to a cheer
ful, nlry ward, unbarred and unfettered, on
the second floor of tho main building of
tho hospital. Strict qulettnlo was enjoined.
Only tho doctors on their hourly rounds
nud tho snowy-capped nurse who watched
by his side wore permitted behind tho
wicker screen which soparnted Crowo's cot
from tho common herd of mlsernbles.
"I.ate In tho night Crowe begged his
nurso to press n hot cloth to his clammy
forehead. That necessitated a trip 'to an
other part of the building. No doctor was
lu sight.
"When tho faithful nurse returned with
tho hot cloth Crowe had Mown. Whither
ho Journeyed sho know not. Sho only knew
tho window was open. Wlso detectives
who came next mornliiG said the open window-
furnlshod a 'valuable clue." Crowe's,
scanty summer nttlro was also missing.
How It vanished from a locker In charge
of. a hospital attendant wns a mystery
until somebody suggested that money
might havo been used as n persuasive
power. Another mystery was how puch
a sick man could escape.
"Hut tho next morning when they cleaned
Crowo's cell In tho detention word, they
found a great big cake of soap. And
there wore tooth prints In the soap."

Audrecsen. Charles Metz, H. K, Uruce, W.
S. Wright nnd P. M. Price were among the
speakers who opposed the proposed exten

James 13. Kelhy defended tho action of tho

of the council that this additional trackage
Is absolutely necessnry for tho Indian sup
ply depot, which is to bo located on the
north side 'of Harney street. Just west of
Twelfth street. He stated that the track
will be n greut advantage to all the prop

opposition to tho trnck and stated that It
will block tho alley In the rear of his build

to have all his goods unloaded at his front

which desire lo havo their goods hauled In

a moment and remarked:
"What do you chargo for mixed drinks

"It's not what wo charge for mixed

Crowo to kidnap Teddy. Well, there is n
nlco old Indy living down In New York who

Sho has not seen him since ho wns about

correlntlvo fact that Teddy has expanded

but oven with these excluded ho still has to
his discredit quite an Imposing array of
transgressions, nil of them crimes of somo

him he is certainly not a petty criminal.
Ho goes after "big game" nnd pnttorns
after tho methods of Jesso James und other
terrors of the middle weal. Hero are somo
of tho best known events of his criminal
career:

After the Chicago & Northwestern train
robbery at. Tower W in August, 1803, Pat
Crowo was sought far and near by Pinker
ton operatives, special olllccrs of tho North
western road, tho Omaha and Council muffs
police departments, lie proved for six
months ho could keep out of tho wny of all
the detectives In tho country If ho desired
It. Finally ho dropped Into Chicago with
tho samo coolness manifested by Jesso
James when that famous bandit located In
St. Joseph after ono of his numerous ex
cursions. Pat went to tho hotel of his
brother nnd Is said to havo worked around
that well known house several wcekB beforo
tho detectives succeeded In locating him.
Ho wns under treatment at ono of the Chi

Ho offered no resistance and was token to
tho central police station. His brother
Steve nnd his friends protested l'at was
Innocent and l'at gave every Indication to
tho nflWrs that ho had nothing to do with
the robbery. With tho assistance of South
Omnha ft lends ho succeeded In Establishing
an alibi and was released. After stopping
In Chicago a fow days ho started wost In

Hal I road opeiatlng ofllclnls are a unit In
tho opinion thnt the cleutrlc headlight
which a number of railroads arc now adopt
ing to take tlie place of the old-fashioned
warning light is one of the most Important
improvements in recent years. Kxperiments
with electric headlights have In all cases
proven signally successful und their use,
It Is forecasted by well-informed railroad
men, will within the ueur future become
ery general.
One of the latest rends to adopt the
electric hiadllght Is the Ilurllngton and the
experiments thus far conducted have been
moat satisfactory. It is tho Intention to
provide all engines with theeo UgblB, do
ing awny gradually with tho headlights now
In ute. "Wo havo nt the present time." said
(Icueral Superintendent Calvert, "only four
erglnes equipped with electric: headlights
Wo put thctc on so tnat our men may
familiarize themselves with the lights.
When they know how to hnndlo them we
will get more.
"The udvnntnges of the electric headlight
are numerous und I do not know any ob
jection worthy of consideration that may bo
urged against It. One of the chief Im
provements Is thnt cnglncmeu can seo
switch targets uud other obstructions on the
track where thero is no light to protect
them almost ns easily as In daylight, and
fnr enough away to bring their train to a
stop beforo getting Into trouble. Another
thing Is that farmers and othors on cross
ings will be seared ott by the bright light
and fewer people will be ruu Into by trains
Tho additional expense of providing electric
headlight equipment will be offset In n
very Bhort while. I think, by the saving In
claims arising from nccldeuts, such as will
be avoldod, lu many cases, by the greater
brilliancy of tho headlight and Its conse
quent Increased effectiveness In warning
drivers nnd pedestrians off from dnngerous
ground.

"On dark, foggy nights tho reilectlon will
show around curves nnd prevent head-end
collisions, niectrlclty Is so much better
for hendlightlng purposes than acetylene
that wo havo stopped experimenting with
tho latter altogether."
tlencral Superintendent Calvert cited a
few exnmples of the eillclency of the now
headlights for tho purposes for which thoy
are Intended. "As nn Indication of the
grcnt brilliancy of tho electric headlight,"
ho said, "tho very first night an engine
equipped with ono for experimental pur
poses was on the road tho agent nt tlrafton
peered out of the panes of his bay window
and saw what appeared to bo either .1
comet or a train almost to tho station,
bearing an exceptionally brilliant light.
Ho knew that no train wus duo nt that
tlmo and was conr,b?ornbly exercised. He
telegraphed tho dispatcher to nscertnln
what train was coming In nhead of No.
3 nnd said It was even then In the east end
of Iho Grafton yard. The dispatcher was
himself somowhnt perturbed until It
dawned upon him that the now electric
headlight was probably tho solution of what
for tho moment seemed a serious problem,
for hu remembered that the engino of No.
3 was using ono of tho new headlights. It
turned out that the bright light which
tho Grafton agent saw was the electric
headlight on No. .'i, which was then In
the Fairmont yaards, seven miles away.
"Another simllnr Incident occurred nn
tho first night. At OtiH 11 freight train
pulled Into'n siding to get out of the way
of No. 3. when No. 3 was twenty miles
away. Tho conductor saw tho headlight
bearing down upon htm and there was
somo mighty 'apld hustling to get out of
tho way, tho conductor thinking that tho
train was right on them. Ho waited
twenty-six minutes for No. 3 to pass him
after ho got safely In tho elenr and No. 3
all this tlmo was coming right along."

At tho recent meeting of the Western
raBsenper association In Chicago tho mucn
mooted question of the adoption of n sjs
tom of interchangeable mllcago In tho
territory west of tho Missouri river and
east of tho Itocky mountains was decided
and February 1 Is tho date set when, In
all prababltlty, tho plan will go Into
clfect.
Traveling men and others who have oc
casion to do much traveling west of tho
Missouri river nnd In doing so havo to tiso
a number of different roads will bo more
than rejoiced when Intcrehanginblo mile
ago Is adopted by all of tho roads. Here
tofore they havo been put to much Incon
veulcnco by icnson of the lack of such fa
cilities, nnd their nrguincnts to tho rail
road passenger ofllclnls havo had much to
do with tho determination to adopt nn in
terchangeable mileage.
"It was practically settled several weeks
ugo," said General Passenger Agent John
Frauds, who was a member of tho com
mittee which pushed through tho Inter
changeable mllcago proposition, "to adopt
n satisfactory system of mileage. Of the
various plans submitted nono met with ap
proval and tho delay has been largely
owing to this fact. Now, however I am
Inclined to think that n recommendation has
been mado that will meet with general ap
proval. It Is tho adoption of an Inter
changeable mllcago similar to thnt used
In the territory covered by tho Central Pus
scnger association. The purchaser will get
11 book containing 2,000 miles of mileage,
good over any railroad operating In West
tern Passenger association territory. This
book will not bo handled by tho conductor.
The traveler holding such a book will go to
tho n'gent nnd secure a ticket from him
to tho point of his destination, tho agent
tearing from the mileage book tho equiva
lent of tho ticket."
