on his imagination. The citizens, VIII, al
ways have an eye to business, were very
much afraid that the tomb, chapel and
convent wall would all be pulverized in q
few years, and leave nothing for the army
OF tourists to be attracted by, So they
have added a new iron grating and put
down q good pavement. These innova-
tions are quite out of keeping with the sur
roundings, but by gradually adding new
things, IN the course OF q century or two
perhaps the whole tomb, with Friar Law
rences cell, may be restored. Yankee in
genuity would have long since put the
burial place OF the Capulets in it's ancieut

pleaded for assistance and counsel from

Tell me not, friar that thou know'st my grief

Ifin thy wisdom thou canst give no help,

And with this steel I'll help it presently.
Then here few days afterward came the
solemn procession OF monks, who carried
torches in their hands, chanting a requiem
as they bore the lfeless form of Tybalt's
fair cousin to her tomb.
Leaving these scenes that the genius Of a
poet who never saw them describes so
beautifully, wandered towards the ancient
palace of the Scaliaers, those powerful
rulers who were supreme in the Republic
from 1862 to 1889. One OF them, Barto-
lommeo della Scala, known as Escalus,
Prince of Verona, died in 1903, at which
date is generally fixed the episode of Romeo

He Stayed with His Tunnel,

Mckin is an honest Irish miner, who
drifted off from Arizona a few years ago
into Sonora. He bad little money, but a
great deal OF faith. Benham says: II
should say here that every mine that has
been worked in Sonora, or, indeed, any
where else in Mexico, has it's early history
recorded in the archives in the district.
Thus, If claim has laid idle halfa century
and one wants to get it's record, he has
only to get the project or local authority of
the district, and he is given access to the
huge volumes that contain the informa-
tion. McKin got hold OF claim that
hadn't been worked for twenty years, and
studied up its history. He found that the
last year it was worked it took three shifts
OF eight men to pack the water out of the
mine. BE also found that the water in
creased 80 fast on them that the mine
had to be abandoned, and from that he ar
gued that it was by no means exhausted.
The problem then was to get the water out.
But how? McKim had no money to put
pumps, but he hid have good de i
OF courage and strong arm. He
went down the hill and resolved to run
tunnel for the mine, to strike the ledge be-
low the water pocket. Nearly five years
years has peg!ed away at that tunnel. He
had fully 900 feet to run. For about u
year McKim had brother Irishman to
help him, but the latter got weary of the
hopeless task, and for the remaining time
McKim went it alone. About year ago
he noticed that the face of his tunnel was
in moist, crumbly ground, and he got fear
full that it wonld tumble in on him. He
didn t 60 near the tunnel for several days
for he was afraid Of it. One morning he
went up and found the water pouring out
49,, -
pocket lad broken through and the tunnel
was draining the old mine at the rate of
900 barrels a minute. McKim was be-
side himself with Joy. In week he ex-
plored the mi ,e through the old workings,
and he found almost bed of pure silver.
Actually, he cut out cabinet specimens with |
q chisel. He sacks and ships the ore, and |
the little property is turning out S1OO.O 900 |
q year with no other labor than that of |
McKim and two Yaqui Indians. So much |
Tor patent industry and four years of faith |
and hard work. ."-Chcago Herald.

OF the crime and had family to sup ort.
Judge Rodgers said, in criminal cases,
and especially in one of SO great magni.
tude as this, the Court must rely very
largely upon the representations OF the
State, and it was the duty Of the Court to
give the State every opportunity to inves-
tigate this crime. While he learned that
the prisoner at the bar and associates did
not believe in any law, still justice should
be administered to aid the law. He would
accept suggestions from the States Attor-
ney and would postpone the hearing till
one week from Wednesday,. As regarded
the support of the mans family, the same
hands which had gone down so deep in their
pockets to relieve the sufferings of the fam.
lilies OF the policemen would see to it that
Fischer's family did not starve.

THE ESTATE OF COS. NELSON.
The Fight over His Possessions
Still in PROGRESS in the Courts.

The Fight over His Possessions
Still in Progress in the Courts.
After considerable opposition on the part
of relatives, the will of Anderson D. Mel
son, deceased, was admitted to probate some
few weeks ago. In this will MI. Nelson
left all his property, valued at some
500. 600 to his wife. Yesterday morning
fresh troubles arose, when sister of the
late Col. Nelson, Mrs John Stockton and
her husband, John NJ. Stockton, appealed
from the order CT Judge LELAND admitting
the will to probate. The objections consti-
tute formidable looking document, and
allege that the pretended will made Dec.
20. 1885, is not the last one which Col.
Nelson made: they deny that it was ever
signed by him, and say that at the time it
purported to have been signed the colonel
was of unSound mind and in no condition to
make will; that his mind was by weak
ness and the near approach of death i'm
paired to such an extent that he did not
know what he was doing. and was not con-
scious of the disposition he was making of
his property. They further allege that
Emily S. Nelson, the coloneFs wife, by
threats, sntreatieS, espostulations and the
use of undue influence upon her husband
when he was debilitated in body and weak
and unsound in mind induced him to sign
the will few hours before he died, and
charge that for that reason the will is void.
1t is also alleged that ON Dec. 7, only three
weeks before, Col. Nelson had made will
leaving portion of his estate to these OBJ
jectors. The questions involved in this
proceeding are whether the last will was
actually signed by Col. Nelson; whether he
was of unsound mind at the time, and
whether Emily Nelson, or any other per-
son, by threats, fraud or oppression, induced
him to sign it,

1885, when the defendants made trade
with them giving them what purported to
be valuable timber land in Manitoba. A
transfer deed was made with the under
standing that it was not to be recorded
The plaintiffs claim that the defendants did
file for record the deed, however, notwith-
standing the fact that nothing had really
been paid for the land in this city. The
amount involved is about $50, 900. The
plaintiffs ask for return of their property.

GENERAL NOTES.
SWORN IN BY JEFF DAv1s.
How Lincoln Took His First Oath
of Allegiance.

Oh = tAeS ldAces
Special to the Globe.
NATION, ILL.,, July 19.-George B.
Balch, who lives in the southern part of
this county, near the old Lincoln home
stead, was great admirer OF the first mar
tyred president. He has made it hobby
to pick up all stories concerning Abraham
Lincoln, and tells the following, which he
has received from Rev. Or. Harsha of
Omaha: ''Gen. Winfield Scott, when a
young man, was stationed at Fort Smelling
at that day perhaps the remotest military
outpost in the country. When the Black
Hawk war was begun some Illinois militia
companies proffered their services. Two
lieutenants were sent by Scott to Dixon,
H.. to muster the new soldiers. One of
the lieutenants was very fascinating young
man of easy manners and affabe disposi-
ton. the other was equally pleasant, but
extremely modest. On the morn
ing when the muster was to take place,
tall, gawky. slab-sided, homely young
man, dressed in suit of blue Jeans, pre-
scented himself to the lieutenant as the cap
tain of the recruits, and was duly sworn in.
The homely young man was Abraham
Lincoln. The bashfuI lieutenant was he
who afterwards fired the first gun from
Fort Sumter, Maj. Anderson. The other
lieutenant, who administered the oath, was
in after years the president of the Confed-
crate states, Jefferson Davis" DR.. Harsha
was in Carter Bros. book store in New
York city. where he chaHsed to repeat this
story to friend. An elderly gentleman,
who was sitting near by listening, arose
and remarked that he was happy to be able
to confirm the facts. as he was the chap
lain at Fort Smelling at the time and was
fully able to corroborate each statement
A bystander then gave the additional testi-
mony that he had often heard Mr.. Lincoln
say that the first time he had ever taken
the oath of allegiance to the United States,
it was administered by jefferson Davis.

Was 1t Murder?

The remains of the man found in the
river at the foot of Thirty-eighth street
Sunday have been identified as those of
Karl Agergard, who resided at 2115 Thir
teenth avenue south with his wife. He was
a travelling man, but for some time past has
been out of employment, and week ago
Monday left for st. Paul to seek employ
ment on farm. His wife is nearly crazy
over the affair and insists that he was muir
dered. This theory is strengthened by the
fact that the only things found in his pocket
when the body was taken to the morgue
were two mileage books. The pockets
were also turned inside out. The body is
badly decomposed and it will be hard
matter to find any marks of violence in case
Mr.. Agergard was murdered. An inquest
will be held to-day
