Max Moiz- ger, ayoung German machinist, tola a pitiful story to the police this morn ing. Last fall bis wife fell 111 and bolng too poor to hire a uurso ho had to leave his work and caro for hor himself. When sho died he had no mouoy left with which to bury her, so he borrowed 30, giving a chattel mortgage on his furniture. After a tlmo he was thrown out of work and was uuable to meet the payment of bis mortgage. Theholdor was lenient with him and all was well, but this creditor died a short tlmo ago and tho mortgage pnssod Into unknown hands Last night wheu ho returned from his work he found that the holdor of the mortgage had broken into the house and stripped It of everything, leaving his three small children only the pro tection of the bare walls. The police will endeavor to find the heartless sharks. Tho way the mortgage men oloanod out the uufortunato man's rooms was tomething extraordinary. They carried out everything the apartments contained except tho stove, bed and tables. Thero wub some discussion about these, but Anally the coals were drawn from tho stove and it too was .taken away. A loaf of bread left on the table by tho father for tho children was also takon and tho contents of a pitcher wero spilled on the floor, so the men could take tho pltchor. Thetablo was car ried and a sick child was taken from tho bod, which was taken to plecos, and with tho clothing, was carried away, only tho straw tlok was loft and on this tho sufToriitg llttlo child was laid, without anything to covor It or any hoat In tho house Tho in truders then left, after carefully searching every closet and nook in the house and taking everything they could find. Tho little children wero frightened so that they wero afraid to leave the houso and they crouched upon the straw tick and shivered with cold and fear until he came home. The Nlxteeu-y ear-old Murderer. Sherman, Jan. 17. Hamp Willis, the lG-ycar-ol dboy charged with boing accessory to tho murder of James Sacra in tho Indian Territory, and who has been held in tho county prison of this city sinco shortly after the killing of Sacra by Milt Overton, was taken to Fort Smith, Aark., by Deputy United States Marshal Green. Overton killed Sacra in a pasture belonging to tho latter, tho boy Ilamp Willis was in the employ of Overton as a cowboy, and was in tho pasture at the time tho Idl ing was done. In a recent interview, whilo in prison in this city, Willis made a Btatcmont regarding what oc curred, which, if true, and can bo prov-, cd, will exonerate him from tho crime It is stated that whon Overton killed Sacra that ho was in tho pasture with Overton and WilsoD looking for cattle belonging to tho iormor, and having found several head they left him to herd them, and went off together to look for other cattle, that they went out of sight, and soon after ho heard tho shooting, shortly after which Over ton's horso camo running back with the bridlo and saddlo to tho hord, and not knowing what had happened ho, Willis, caught Overton's horso and hold him until Overton camo and took charge of him and mounted him and rode away. Willis is a half-breed In dian boy, is quite intelligent, has rath cr an effeminate appearanco, and ap pears to havo had good school opportu nitics. Ho 'is held without bail to await tho action of tho federal grand jury at I'ort Smith. Jiurnlasr Out Women nnil Children Chaui.eston, S. C, Jan. 17.

Louis Wair.cl, the bookkeeper, for somo imaginary wrong sioppca irom the oitico and tired four times at Captain Victor Lylo, of the British steamship Victoria, but fortu natly without hitting him. Captain Lylc, when assaulted, was ongaged in conversation with Mr. Marwitz, and made a hasty exit from the storo. Waizcl was instantly arrested and lodg ed in jail. Mr. Marwitz, his employ er, and members of his family, all tes tify that Waisol for th'o past two weeks has bocn ill, nervous and at times acted strangely, and attribute his attaok on Captain Lyle to loss of reason. Capt. Lylo does not wish to prosecute Wai zol, believing ho did not know what he was doing at tho timo tho assault was made This is borno out by tho fact that Waizcl, when interviewed at tho iail, was ignorant of tho fact that ho had attempted to shoot Captain Lylo. Mrs. Waizcl has been awaro of her husdand's weakness for years, and says ho had givon up his position at Marwitz s for tho reason that ho could no longer attend to tho duties and with tho intention of traveling.

'I am on the turf now," said a flu , black eyed young man, still In his te.-rf, to an acquaintance whom ho met at the Uuttenburg races. I am out for monoy, and everything goes." " wnon aiu you quit your uncio'8 hock snonr oskcu mo uoys ucininianco. "Las' week We'nfofr'vv fined" mo c for trvinc to work ono of his own cnines. Ono of tho funniest rackets ,you 'over '' heard of, and I'm just soro enough on the'Vt old man to giro it dead ownyASTho old man was coTnc un Center strctA ono dnv ?fc last summer, and ho stopped inii second hand tool shop to bco a friend. Whilo ho was thero ho got monkeying with a second hand Bignal box. It was a llttlo cast iron thing with tho word "pollco" on tho front and n brass button on tho top. When ho pressed tho button it set a lot of clockwork going in tho box, and made as much noiso as an alarm clock. Ho was stuck on tho thing nnd bought it for a half. I asked 1dm what ho was going to do with It and ho said ho would stick It up on tho wall and ring it if any toughs tried to raako troublo in tho shop.

Then ho took somo bronzo paint and touched up tho letters so that nobody could mako any mistnko in reading them. ' I don't lcllovo ho thought of what a great graft tho box was until ho had It up about u week. Then ho mado it use ful for tho first timo. A young fellow ' camo in with a dress coat wrapped up in, n nowspapcr nnd wanted flvo cases on it. Undo Jonas held tho coat up nnd sized it up with tho fellow that was trying to soak it. Tho coat u as big enough for two lllto him and tho old man sayst 'Dot's a nico coat. Eos Id your own? " 'Botcher life says tho young feller. " 'Valt till I call my binder,' says tho old man, and ho turned and jammed tho button down hard on tho signal box. Tho young feller lust gavo ono glanco atf' tho box, and ho snot out of tho door ond left tho coat behind. Ho ain't been seen around thero since. After that tho old man givo mo to understand I wasvte., como along kinder slow any timo when , ho rung tho box, so that if pcoplo didn't scare, thoy would toko it that tho call was for mo, and then ho would consult tno about tho goods that wero offered. IIo worked tho call on a man with a gold watch next day, and tho man snntched tho watch out of his hand and skipped. After that ho was more care ful, and when a crook camo in with a ring a day or two lator, ho laid the ring down out of reach and touched tho but-' ton, saying that ho would call Ids 'son and got Tils opinion about tho stone. Tho crook looked at tho call box and ran his eyo along tho wires which ran toward tho front of tho shop. Then ho began to swear, and mado a jump for tho side door. Next day a nico looking follow camo In and described tho ring, and'said that it was stolen from him, and that ho had cornered tho man who stolo it, and learned whero it wub. " 'AH right; I vill send for it,' says the old man, and then ho touched tho button again. i win como m again In a naif an hour.' says tho nico lookinc vounc feller. nnd skins out tho door.
