WICKED PEAEL HART.
Exploit of n reunite 'Western Min
ing Hfjcion Pirate.
(1-rom the New Aork Sim)
A despatch from Tucson, Ariz , states
that Pearl Hart, the joung woman who,
with her sweetheart, Joe Boot held up
the Globe stage coach at Can Springs
Canon, Ariz , at the pistol's point on May
30, broke jail and escaped at 3 o'clock oa
Thursdaj morning With the aid of an
accomplice, so it is supposed, she cut
through a wall ten feet from the floor, aud
had several hours' start before her escape
was discovered Public sentiment is in her
favor and it is said that no verj deter
mined effort will be made to recapture her
She and Boot both swore that thej would
never serve out a term in a penitentiary,
but would rather kill themselves The man
is now in jail at riorence awaiting trial
When thej were separated Pearl Hart
made a more or less desperate attempt to
kill herself, or to make the bystanders
think she was about to kill herself Which
it was is a matter of some doubt
Pearl Hart's life has been that of manj
women who drift from mining camp to
mining camp in the West changing their
associations as thej change their habitat
At the age of sixteen she eloped from
boarding school with a man named Hart
Thej had one child Two years after her
marriage she left her husband because of
his crueltj, and for nearlj three jears was
separated from him He begged for an
other chance and thej went to Tucson to
gether
Hart beat and abused hei until she left
him again, after which he enlisted in a
Western regiment and went to the war
Then the woman, thrown upon her own re
sources, went to the bad, and after living
a disreputable life for several months at
tempted suicide Her life was saed, and
she bald that she would reform if she
could find anj work to do Some miners
at Mammoth sent to town ror a cook and
Pearl Hart took the job Bj comparison
with her former existence, the work seem
ed hard to her and life in a tent was, more
than she could stand
With Joe Boot, ono of the miners she
took a contract to freight some goods to
Globe for $S In Globe she became a wait
ress in a miner's boarding house but the
mines shut down and she was again out of
work Boot who seems to have been good
to her and for whom she had some affec
tion suggested that thej strike out to a
mining claim which he owned and trj to
dig out enough to take them both back
to his home in Canada Women's cloth
ing is iiot convenient for tramping and
mining Pearl Hart got a boy's outfit, and
for three weeks handled pick and shovel
with her partner Disappointment was the
wage of that labor, the claim showed no
speck of color '
Then Boot proposed ' that thej hold up
the Globe stage coach In a very high
colored and sensational autobiographj of
the dime-novel school of literature which
Mr J Brisben Walked, founder of the
tjpe-written Cosmopolitan Universitj hlr
ed the woman to wiite for his magazine
she declares that she consented to the stage
robbery onlj because she needed the money
to get home to hei dying mother The pair
armed themsehes with revolvers and how
they carried out the soheme is told by the
girl bandit" as follows
"Joe drew a fortj-fhe and said "Throw
up jour hands'' I drew nly little thirtj
elght and likewise covered 'the occupants
of the stage Joe said to me Get off youi
horse' I did so, while he .kept the people
covered He ordered them out of the
stage Joe told me to search the passen
gers I found on the fellow who was shak
ing the worst $300 He was trembliug
so I could hardly get inj hand in his
pockets The other fellow, a sort of dude,
tried to tell me how much he needed the
monej, but yielded $36, a dime, and two
nickclb Then I searched the remaining
pasenger, a Chinaman He was nearer my
size, but I just scared lnm to death I
onlj got $5, however"
After going through the passengers they
gave back a dollar to each of them, and
rode away Two days latar they were cap
tured and taken to Tloreiue wheie Boot
was left in jail, while the woman was
taken to Tucson She lemained there up
to the time of her escape
Pearl Hart Is about twenty-five jears
old She Is small and blight, weighing
less than 100 pounds Pictures of her in
her male attire make her look like a
sullen, homely boj of sixteen Vntil, bj

This is not such a serious question as it may at first appear. If
you place yourself in the hands of an absolutely responsible house
responsible from every standpoint there is little or no anxiety or
risk in buying a piano.
It's more than worth your while to purchase such a piano as the
Knabe, or to transact your business with such a house as Wm. Knabe
&. Co. The Knabe Piano, as you may know, is unquestionably the
best investment for any piano purchaser. The Knabe is a GOOD
piano, viewed from any standpoint.
The house of Knabe has enjoyed uninterrupted business suc
cess for over sixty years. It is today more prosperous than ever
before. Is it not wise to do business with such a house where the
future good behavior of your piano is guaranteed for practically all
time ?
Wm. Knabe & Co. sell pianos of other makes for buyers who
cannot now afford the purchase of a Knabe. Wm. Knabe & Co.'s
terms of payment are not the least attractive features of a great
business.
You w 1 find that Wm. Knabe & Co. can sell you a Knabe or
some other piano that will surely fill your requirements.
Pianos for rent.
