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." 1 1 1 h iiine Valuable. la the ibiyB when Pat Crowo was a dis penser of liquid refreshments with uo moro trouble on his mind thau thnt which came from Imbibing overdoses of his stock In trade n stranger entered the hilarity fac tory lu tho Hoard of Trado building where Pat acted as lieutenant for his brother Stove, proprietor of the place.

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.

ELECTRICITY MEETS FAVOR Experiments with Electric Headlights Prove Host Satiefactorj. DARKNESS DISSIPATED FOR MANY MIES tlenernl .Hiiiierlnlf nilent CuUet-t of tlie UiirlliiKliiu Clio llMiiiipleo l'rti Inir tlie I'lTeetlt eneH or the .New Method of UkIiIIiik. 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. Will I'rrtent CoIIInIoiim. "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." lNTnitCIIANf.KAIII.i: MII.H.Mil-. MIO.N.

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.

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."
