Lusk and her residence as East Front street caused much excitement in police circles Sunday evening when she re ported that she had been robbed by two strange men. The excitement was evi dently mostly made up by herself as she had a very hazy idea of the identity of the two men and when two men were brought before her sht nt one identified them as the two. A search, however, revealed that the two men were not possessed of the sum of fifteen dollars which she claimed had been taken from her. I In the early evening the police re ceived a call to come to Mrs Lusk's home at once as she had bten robbed. Officer Jones at once responded and when he arrived the woman said that she had been talking over the gate with the two men and that they got her so excited that she turned quickly and ran into the house.

Upon examination it was deemed best to let the men go and the women was not over anxious to have the case p s'led. Old County Resident Dies. Henry H.

A man mimed Bogoit camo to tho United Suites In ISG5 nnd acquired ti tle to somo lands lu Montana. Ho re turned to ltussla, where ho died with out knowing tho value of his property. A syndicate bought up all the sur rotiudlug land and wanted thnt belong ing to BogolT's heirs. As a member "of the syndicate I was sent to Russia to put tho matter through. There was Just one thing to bo kept secret-Bogoff- bad paid about 5700 for property worth over $I00.0(H), I was to get hold of the land as cheap ly as possible, giving no hint of Its real value. Bogoff was u native of the port of Narva, on tho gulf of Finland, and one day 1 landed there In search of Information. I had my passport and other credentials and anticipated no trouble, but 1 was Ignorant of the way things work in Russia. After tak ing up quarters at a hotel I called upon a lawyer to make inquiries and secure asslstahcc. lcs, ho had heard of the BogolTs and thought tho fninllji could easily be found. 1 was to vail again on the morrow und meanwhile he would gather such Information as he could. Two hours later the chief of police or Narva entered my room with two of his men. The astute olllcer questioned mo for three long hours'and was more suspicious at tho finish than nt the be ginning. It was so queer that Bogoff should have purchased that land, no queer that he hadn't reported It uu re turnlm:. so queer that 1 should make such a long Journey to see tlie heirs, so queer that I should seek out a law yer intead or calling at the police sta tion. I knew exactly what all this meant Dad I said to the lawyer lu the iirsl place that there was a "dlvy" in the matter for him and for the chief of pbllce and two or three other olll chils nil would have gone well. When the chief realized that l could not bu bled he had all my papers taken to his otllce. The police were ordered :o look upon me as a suspicious person and a detective was detailed to watch me day and night. Thinking I might curry on the busl uess from St. Petersburg. I went to that city and again called upon a law yer tlrst of all. He was sharp enough to realize that the property was of con siderable vnluc. and without any beat ing around the bush he told me that he would find the heir aud put the matter through for the sum of $0,000. 1 re fused to bribe him and as a result soon discovered that no lawyer would have anything to-do with the case, and only two days had passed before I was sum moned to the olllco of the chief of po lice. He closed the lntcrvlow by say ing that I would bo shadowed while I remained at tho capital und by advis ing mo, to take no further steps on my own account to discover the Bogoffs. I had not been provided with money to brlo any one. I must either defy tho police and work up the case single handed or return nnd report a failure. Being firmly convinced that Mrs. Bo goff was In Narva, I secretly left St Petersburg for that town. Securing rooms in a boarding houso nnd disguis ing my personal nppcaranco to a con siderable extent, 1 prosecuted my In quiries under one excuse and another until I at length discovered the woman. Sho was living in her own homo and In poor circumstances nnd was rejoiced at tho prospect of selling tho land, which sho remembered her husband referring to ns n poor Investment on his part. I must have the assistance of n no tary to make out tho papers, and it was while seeking this assistance that the pollco got track of mo ngaln. As soon as they Interfered I was balked They not only warned every notary In Narva against me. hut the widow was obliged to take a Journey and o lnt,o hldluir Things might have stopped there luiil I been a cool and placid man. When I fniind the police hounding me iit'j'iii I lust my temper and gave the chief my opinion of things lu general and of his oWii conduct In ftarilcuiar I was nrrestnl: on what ejwirge I never knew Am sunn as liicn reunited I asked leave r eniiiinuiilcn'e with the American minister. This lequost was refused I was not allowed books, writing mate rials or other food than the regular prison fare aud was, lu fact, treated lu all respects ns a criminal. On the third day the chief of police sent for me and asked If 1 would leave Russia If given my liberty. 1 replied in the negative and was returned to prison. Mj threats that the' matter would be thoroughly sifted by our representative only made him smile, and he quietly Informed me thnt ho would keep me In prl'ton for the rest of my life if need he. On tho seventh day he sent for me again. 1 had now changed my mind. I snw that I could be sent off to Siberia If the officials so desired and that there was no longer the slightest hope of accomplishing my er rand. I therefore answered him that I was ready and willing to leave tho czar's domftitons at a moment's notice, end as a steamer was to leave port that evening four pollco officers were detailed to escort me on hoard. Not only that, but I was locked up In a stateroom and not set at liberty until noon next day. I found Americans, Englishmen nnd Frenchmen on the boat, but got no sympathy from nny of them. On the contrary, I was called an Idiot for my conduct, nnd every ono ngreed that I might have been packed off to Siberia without any ono but tho pollco belhg the wiser. "It's a funny thing," remarked tho observing man, "that particularly Btout and particularly thin pcoplo can discover Insinuations in regard to their slzo where absolutely nono Is meant;. Now, tonight In tho car thero wcro two good examples of this within a few minutes of cncli other.

A stranger was hunting quail In tbo mountains of Georgia, where by rea son ot the wild peas they are very nu merous. One day his dog flushed n Hock of wild turkeys to the rago of a nnttve youtlr who had been creeping toward them. The boy promptly brought his old fashioned six foot rllle to his shoulder, and the bullet cut-up the dirt under the dog's feet Tho next Instant the boy disappeared In. the brush. Later In the day tho hunt er came across u mountain cabin and saw the same boy in the yard with a man whom he took to be his father. He balled the mnn nnd angrily gavo nn account of the morning's Incident "no wasn't forty yards away when hp shot at my dog. I think he should have a good thrashing," he continued.

"An annuity Is the best elixir of life 1 know of," said tho examining physi cian of an Insurance company. "It sometimes seems as if annuitants nev er die. We have lots on our books who top eighty, ninety and oven iilne-ty-Dve years.
