to jury the other day, that "some per-

Representative Gustave Schleicher of
the sixth district of Texas, who died at
Washington, Friday, was Il German by
birth, and came to the United States in
1917, settling in Texas, where he pursued

ed in the state legislature previous to the
war but during that struggle he does not
appear to have been in public life. He
was elected to the forty-fifth congress, re-
elected to the present one, and ut the last
election was again chosen as a representa-

The criminal who attempts to escape
justice by retiring to some secluded spot
of earth and setting up an assumed name
in these days, when pretty much every
body is informed by the newspapers of
everything of any consequence that any
body has done, is almost certain sooner or
later to wake up and find that he has made
Il mistake. George II. Holiday, who in
1872 embezzed $4,000 from Macoupin
county, Ills, has made this discovery. He
has been living at Olympia, Washington
territory, ever since, under the name of
S. w, Hall, but was arrested Monday on a
requisiton from the governor of Illinois
