A VENERABLE MONGOLiAN.
Forty Years in America, with an Hmerf-

lSt Louis Globe Democrat.

The oldest Chinaman in st. Louis IA
John Saloon, who is at the present time
seventy five years of age. He is small in
stature, being about five feet four inches.
His mustache is luxuriant for a China
man, and almost white. The religious cue
is gone, and his hair is thickly tingei with
gray, and years have deprived him Of ali
his teeth. Forty years ago John emigrated
for America, but the ship stopped at the
Sandwich Islands, and he, thinking the
new world was reached, disembarked, an
the ship sailed ON without him. Seven
years later he arrived In New York CITY,
having sailed arou uG Cape Horn. In
America John saved money, and made
two trips back to China, remaining q wear
each time. On the third trip to this coun
try he served as cook on the vessel In
which hs sailed. Arriving again in New
York, he met an Irssh girl named Bliss,
whom he married. The queer people then
visited number Of the States, and thir-
teen years ago camS to st. Louis. They
had three children, swo boys and one girl.

A SUDDEN REMOVAL.
Discovery of Human Body Bound With
Strips of Bacon.

ISt Louis Globe Democrat
There has been of late considerable dis
cussion over q very remarkal lie case Of
death in the county, just south of Caron-
delet, and the usual cry has gone out that
the Investigations of death by the county
officials are too easily gone through with;
and that the cases are not dealt with with
that care that should be given such mat
ters. About two weeks ago q Louis Weh-
meyer, a farmer, residing on the county
road, about six miles from town, paid
wages in bills to a young man who wss
known only by the name of Fritz, and who
had been working for him some time, and
the man Fritz left him. That afternoon
Fritz was seen in Carondelet, and was
apparently under the influence Of
liquor. About dusk the same even
ing the man was seen at the
office of physician few
miles out on the county road, where he
obtained bottle of medicine, complains
ing of weakness in the stomach. The
next afternoon q number Of children play-
ing in the woods came across the body Of
4 man in the grass and they ran frightened
to their elders and gave the warning. A
large crowd of people went down the road
10 investigate the matter and came upon
the body. An examination showed no
traces of violence whatever, but the ex-
animation was very superficial. pscul-
Tar feature of the case was the discovery
that large pieces of bacon were tied with
strings around his wrists and ankles. The
body was identified by Mr.. Wehmeyer as
that of " Fritz" and an inquest was held.
A verdict of death from alcoholism was
rendered and then farmers objected. It
appears that the relatives have no idea
that the bacon was tied around the dead
mans wrists and ankles in order to attract
the hogs to the lplace that they might eat
the body up. They claim that no post =
mortem was made, and there is hideous
suspicion that the man was murdered for
what little money he had about him whom
be was walking along the road.

REVEALED BY A SPIRIT.
Strange Story of Murder from the
"Blaclx Diamond" Country.
TMahanoy Plane Pal Cor1


[Mahanoy Plane Pa) Corl
Early in 1915, while the s'long striker
was In progress in the Lehi gh region and
the State militia were guarding the
strike-affected black diamond country, a
man named Branson Comatsy, miner
employed in the Harlei sh colliery, near
Hazleton, Luzerne County, mysteriously
disappeared. 1t was presumed at the
time of his disappearance that Comatty
was murdered. The period was an
exciting one, and no particular effort
was made to discover the whereabouts of
the collier. Now comes most remarkable
story in connection with Comatty's
strange disappearance. About a week
ago, as several miners were passing a
worked out slope in the Mahanoy Basin,
they aver that they saw an apparition OF
Comatty, whom all the men knew when
he was engaged in mining in the Lehig gh
region. The colliers watched the spirit
for some time. 1t finally melted out of
sight. Martin O'Neill, one of the miners,
determined to visit the place where the
ghostly visitant was seen. Yester lay
morning O'Neill, accompanied by half q
doz n striking coliiery hands, went to tn o
abandoned pit and made an investigation.
Entering the cavern, and p oceed ng in
the direction of the spot formerly occupied
by the first pillar, what was their aston
ishment to stumble over a human skele-
ton. A careful examination proved be-
yond doubt that the bones were those
OF the missing Comatty. In the skull,
just above the base of the forehead, were
two bullet holes, while another hole was
in the back OF the head. These evidences
indicate that Comatty was murdered. 1t
is presumed that he WINS the victim of
Molly Mcguire hatred. The remains were
buried, but the supersdtious people believe
that the ghost will continue to haunt the
neighborhood until the murIerers are
brought to justice and punished.

WEDDING A MURDERER.

Before He Goes to the Penitentiary.
lColurnbia Is. c. Dispatchl
AT the recent term Of court for Chester.
deld County, James Hunter, fine looking
and well-to-do young white farmer, was
tried and convicted of manslaughter for
the killing of George W. Evans, tieigh;
Dor, and sentene,d to four years at hard
labor in the ,nitensiary. The homicide
occurred about a year ago. Hunter and
Evans had difficulty several years be-
fore, but they were apparently on good
t,rrns with each other just previous to the
fatal encounter. On that day, however,
In consequence of an insulting remark
made by Hunter in speaking of Evans
wife, the latter knocked him down and
punished him. While Evans was leaving
the scene with his mothers arm around
him, Hunter ran up to him and dis
charged the contents of his pistol
into his body, causing almost instant
death. TIL killing was also witnessed by
Miss Bora Evans; pretty girl of eighteen
years; niece of the murdered man, and
the affianeed bride of his murderer. Not
for one instant during all his trouble did
the love of Miss Dora for her promised
husband waver.
Night before last, some time after Sher.
if King AMI his hous eholl had retifed for
the night, they were aroused by a loud
knocking on the outer door of the jail.
The Sheriff dressed, went out, and, to his
astonishment found that his visitor was
Miss Dora Evans, who had fed from her
home, twenty five miles distant, and had
ridden tnattended through drenching
rain for the purpose; as she boldly an
nounceds of marrying her lover before he
went to the penitsutiary. Sheriff King
furnished Miss Evans with a comfortable
room for the night. Early in tile morning
clergyman was summoned, and In the
Jail hall, at eight o'clock, the interesting
ceremony was performed in the presence
of about fifty spectators-court officers,
lawyers and jurymen. A substantial
breakfast followed, after which the newly
married couple exchanged affectionate
adieus. The bride returned to the home
of her parents, and the groom was hand
cuffed by the guari, taken on board the
train and started Off on his journey to the
penitentiary in this city.
