Herbert Hamblet, IA years of age, resid-
ing at Granville, Washington county, on
Tuesday coaxed 7-year-old boy, named
Joseph Mcclure, to lonely spot, whereupon
Hamblet told young Mcclure that he was
going to kill him right away, and thereupon
proceeded to beat him most unmercifully.
He than cut off one of his ears, also the bic
toe of his right foot. Hamblet's next bar.
barous act VAS to compel the little boy to eat
manure until he became deathly sick.
Young Mcclure was then taken to the river
and held under the water until he was nearly
strangled, Hamblet subjecting him to these
indignities from o'clock in the morning
until in the afternoon, during which he
suffered untold agonies. Hamblet then left
him alone in the woods. The little boy
went home and reported the facts to his
father, who at once made complaint to
magistrate and warrant was issued for the
arrest of Hamblet. He was soon found and
arraigned before justice. When asked
what he had to say to the charge against
him, he defantly replied he would do it
again if he had the chance.

Figuring for Another Walking Match.

Figuring for Another Walking Match.
A few days since Mr.. s. K. Hunt, the
Minneapolis pedestrian, issued challenge
to Mr.. Owen Sullivan of this city, to run a
match of twenty five miles for 800 OF more
side. In reply to the challenge Mr.. Suli-
van desires to announce that he is prepared
to enter match of 100 miles for $3.50 or
$500, the conditions being the same as
usually govern go as you please walk.
The somewhat equivocal terms of the
challenge promulgated by Mr.. Hunt, natur-
ally sustain Mr.. Sullivan's indisposition to
enter q contest where the relative odds are
so much at variance. The fact is that the
formers reputation is almost entirely based
on comparatively short runs, while Mr.. Sui
livan's popularity is owing to his power of
endurance and great staying qualities in ex-
tended walks. In case the match transpires,
the conditions of time and place will be ar
ranged by mutual consent of both parties. J

THE MURDER OF MRS. McMASTERS
STILL UNRAVELLED

THE MURDER OF MRS. McMASIERS
STILL UNRAVELLED.
The Faribault Democrat of the 18th makes
the following brief but pointed allusion to
to the murder of Mrs. McMasters:
Since the death of Mrs. McMasters, of St.
Paul, who was found dead in her bed by her
daughter, it has been discovered that the front
door key and the watch of Mrs. McMasters are
missing. This has given rise to grave appre-
tensions that Mrs. McMasters was robbed and
murdered. The premises haye been thoroughly
searched, but the key and watch cannot be found.
The theory of ROBBERY is fully conlr med
Peters, who states that on Monday night at 8
o'clock, when returning home in company with
friend, she saw man come ut of Mrs. Nc
Masters gate. She described him as having
on dark clothes and white hat. Judge Gill
fllan, son-in-law, is of the opinion Mrs. Nc
Masters died natural death, and that after
her death the house was entered and the watch
stolen.
The admission that there was robbery
and no murder is absurd. If Mrs. Nc Mas
tiers was robbed, SHE aoas murdered. Her
closest relatives concede that she was robbed.
To accomplish his plumber the robber entered
the house, and the very appearance of
burglar before the delicate woman was suf6-
cient to give fatal shock. Very slight vio-
lence, to prevent an outcry, undoubtedly
resulted in almost instant death,
and the miscreant carried the lifeless
body from the rarlor where the encounter
occurred, to Ike bedroom in the rear, and,
placing it carefully on the bed, fled to avoid
detection.
1t is strange that the relatives of the de-
ceased should so persistently seek to make
it appear that the death was natural one,
while they unhesitatingly concede the rob-
berry. 1t is no reflection upon the estimable
lady that she was robbed or
that she was murdered. If terrible
crime was committed in the very heart
of great city, it is to the interest of So
ciety that the facts should be known and an
effort, at least, made to discover the perpe-
traitor. Both the relatives and the police
have been derelict. The former seem to have
desired to hush up all suggestions of vio-
lence, and the latter have been put off with
statements of friends that the death was
natural and there was no occasion for further
Investigation.
Why do not the physicians who pro-
nounced it apoplexy ask to have the body
exhumed and an autopsy made? They dare
not have those remains brought forth to the
light of day. They kaoao that their hasty
verdict or opinion will not bear investiga-
ton, and hence their anxiety to hush the
matter up. .-@.
Meanwhile the opinion of the public
strengthens that Mrs. Mcl1lusters acas ,nur-

BITING A BEAR.
a Fearful Encounter s,s u North Caroline
u.s. Forest
raleigh Observer.l

--.5 Forest
Raleigh Observer
In the early part of this century the west
ern portions of North Carolina were infested
with wild game, among which was the elk,
now entirely extinct in the South. The last
elk was killed in Mitchell county, it is said,
about 1924. Some time about 1915 party
of veteran and daring hunters were in the
mountains of Buncombe engaged in hunt
for these animals. They spent several
weeks annually inssuch exhibitions, sleeping
in the forests, always in danger from wild
beasts. One evening: just before nightfall,
the party returned, one by one, to the rem
devious, all save one very old man, most
enthusiastic and tireless sportsman. Know
ing his habits, his absence caused little re-
mark, but, as time slipped on and he came
not, it was determined to make search for
him. While preparing to do this, the we'll
known report of his rifle rang out on the air,
and all then was still. The noise of the
report seemed to come from canebrake q
quarter of a mile away. Taking lights,
two of the hunters made their way thither,
and found their comrade but few rods
from the brake. lying on the ground
SO badly wounded as to be HELPLESS
inquiries he said he had tracked bear and
fired at him, wounding the ferocious beast,
he thought, fatally. On going up to his
prize the bear arose and seized him. A ter
rife struggle ensued between the two. Los
ing his. knife in the contest, the hardy hunter
said he had no other means of self defense
than to seize Bruins nose in his teeth. He
said he had done this, and with such effect as
to bite off the entire end of his nose. The
earth near by was bloody and trampled, but
his comrades ridiculed the idea of his having
actually bitten off the bears nose He con-
tinued to assert it, and said that the bear,
discounted, had fled and taken refuge in the
brake, where he would wager he then lay
dead.
The wounded man was taken into camp
and his injuries attended to. At daylight
next morning several of the hunters went
into the brake, and there found the bear shot
through the body, and with the tip of it's
nose bitten off. The old hunter lived many
years, but always spoke with peculiar pride
of bis having thus overcome the bear, and
exhibited score of wounds made by the
animals claws as proof of the story.

held at the old court house last night, to
effect working organization not only for
the coming campaign, but for permanent

the purpose for which the assemblage met

Thereppon both Mr.. Ansel Or

which every member should vigorously work
for the cause and success of the party. To
this end it was advised that after the CEN

the ears in a somewhat novel manner, and
the consequences promise to be the disrup-
ton of both and general row in church
circles. It seeps that the veteran theatrical
and circus manager, James M. Nixon, con-
ceived the idea of raising the wind by COM
ing "the high moral dodge" as he is wont to
call it, and SO he conversed with q clergy
man and wrote to Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe as to the expediency of placing the
drama of "Uncle Toms Cabin'' on a re-
ligious footing and producing 1t in the
churches before class of people who sell
dom or never attend theaters. Both of them
looked favorably on the scheme, and Mr..
Nixon went to work. By talking "the high
moral" to the trustees of the Michigan Ave-
nue. Baptist church, he convinced them that
the production of the play in that sacred
edifce, the largest in the city, would prove
not only edifying but entertaining to those
who are habitually barred out of the theater,
and he rented the church for q week. He
removed the pulpit and erected stage, with
scenery, fcotlights, etc., all complete, and
played to good houses for six nights. He
had meantime secured the lease of the Union
Park Congregational church, in different
part of the city, for the week following.
Some of the members of the latter church
were horror-struok at the proposed profana-
ton of their house of worship. and protested
most vehemently against it. Their protests,
however, were of no avail, as Mr.. Nixon had
the contract with the trustees in his pocket,
and had paid the rental in full for week.

one, and, therefore, not fit for representation
in church, does not seem to have struck
