John Bactis. His two companions stated
that they lived in Usage county, Mo, and
had come down the river intending to 90
to Arkansas. They met the old man who
called himself BaeliS, u few weeks ago and
he wanted TO accompany them, and finally
they consented. Ko0tz and Hammond
were released, but Daelis was held in con.

act, while in the school park, the audience
is brought at once to the pio, of the play in
which "Forinc" stands between Rene de

has been maliciously brought upon her is
removed, and on her seventeenth birthday
she is found the lawful heiress of great pos.
