The train ran TO the bridge at Hurri-
cane creek, a distance Of fifteen miles,
in twef1ty-flvF minutes, speed OF thir-
ty-fiye miles an hour. which placed him
within two miles of the murdered mans
house at 9:i9, and with well-travelcd
road direct to this house. Giving him
twenty-six minutes to walk two miles
and commit the murder at 1915, and
allowing him twenty minutes to walk it
and six minutes to get o position to do
the shooting, was not impossible for
him to have accomplished.
Then IL was shown that the train go
ing west arrived at Hurricane creek
bridge at 10 40, giving him twenty five
minutes to return the two miles, which
it would take him, for, of course, the
west-bound slackened its speed on the
east side Cf the creek, and. rs he was
Cn the west side, lie necessarily had to
cross to get to the east side, but il was
also shown by witnesses that there was
wagon bridge parallel with tie rail
road bridge. so that difficulty was easi.
~ overcome.
Then it was shown that the train ran
to L. station in twenty-five minutes,
arriving there at 1l:O5, giving him
twenty-five minutes to get home. put
up his horse, and arouse his folks ut
haif-past IL.
During the giving Of the testimony
the prisoner sat rs il he were slowly
and certainly heing drawn into an abyss
that va certain destruction, and when
the evidence closed. and lie saw that he
was lost, he broke down and wept and
bemoaned his fate aud admitted his
guilt, and that. learning some days be-
fore OF the change in the time Of the
trains to take. place on April 10, he
lad laid his plans, resulting in the mur-
der of Willard Moore.
He knew OF Moore's habit Of sitting
up late of nights, and calculated on
being able to fire through the window
and kill him jlst as lie did. And lie
also knew Of Jack Tracy's habit Of
rding late at night, and calculated that
he would more than likely ride that
night, being Sunday, and he having
nothing particular to occupy his time.
He was tried when court convened,
was sentenced tobe hung; but, through
remorse and fear, he became raving
maniac, and was sent to the lunatic
asylum, ard died there before year
had passed.
Jack was soon released. and every
one Of his former acquaintance made
it a duty to try to prove to him that
"tliey always knew he was not guilty. !"
A few months after his release he
and Hester were quietly married, and
there is no happier couple anywhere
than they arc; and well they deserve to
be. after oil tho troubles through which
they have gone. Chicago Ledger.

grafton.

CALUMET, Mich, Oct S-A fire which
broke out on Saturday in the dry portion of
the Hecla branch of the Calumet and Hecla
mine is still raging 1t has already two
victims. The mine can not be entered, and
all the openings at the surface have been
sealed Parties attempting to reach the
fire have been compelled to return
to the surface Immediately. Fifteen men
were taken out of lower level, very much
frightened, and very hungry, but all sound
The fight started LOO feet below the sur
face, and is supposed to have been begun by
all explosion of powder. There are no dan
gerous gases in this mine, and no fire
could be fed by them, according to the
statement Of copper miners. The smoke
arising from the flames is so dense and
sitting that the fire cannot be reached, and
endeavors to extinguish it are necessarily at
tended with extreme difficulty and danger.
When 1t was first discovered John Rapson
and Thomas Gribble were sent down to
start the pump at the eleventh level
As they did not return n rescuing
party was sent to their relief. They saw
Rapson, who had been suffocated by the heat
and smoke, but could not reach the body.
Subsequently the rescuers were overpowered
by the fumes arising from the burning tim
bers, and the men were dragged out sense
less. Restoratives were applied in time to
save their lives On Monday Rapson's body
was recovered.
Forty men are imprisoned in the lower
levels and cannot escape until the fire is
somewhat subdued. They are in no danger
from sutfocation, however, as plenty of aiI
can be got to them. Vigorous efforts are
being made to subdue tho flames, and at last
| account some progress had been made.

God, that his aid may be given to those
measures which will result in the speedy put
