MURDERER ARREsrED.-On Satur-
day Sheriff Kendall of Garfield county.
Colorado, arrested Joseph Ball at Bea-
yer Canyon, in this county, on charge
OF murder said to have been commit
ted in Colorado about a year ago, and
took him back over the range to an
swer to the charge.
Ball, it is said, belonged to a band
Of horse thieves who infested Garfield
county and vicinity. A little over a
year ago he and some of his compan-
ions became jealous Of two men be-
longing to the outfit, fearing lest they
might turn informers and give states
evidence. All except those two left
the cabin in which they had been liv-
Ing, ostenslbly for the purpose of max
ing raid. After short absence they
returned with eight sticks of giant
powder which they exploded under
the cabin, blowing the structure to
pieces and killing their former COM
panions instantly. Balls said by the
sheriff to be one Of the party who
committed the deed, and if he was,
Colorado justice will doubtless be adj
ministered. There is little chance fol
murderer to escape in that state il
the law once clutches him. Idaho

BLUNDERS OF LIBRARY VISITORS.
Funny Mistakes That Are Made by Children
and Ignorant People in Calling for Books.

There arc some queer visitors to the City
Library reading-roon. The other day a young
giant, who was, apparently, nearly seven feet
high, and not more than nineteen years old,
came in. The attendants looked upon him as a
splendid physical specimen, but they were
greatly shocked when, in thin, piping voice, he
said: "Please lemme look at story book of
some kind" He was in painful contrast with a
seven-year old boy who had come in day or
two before. and boldly said: Gimme the Book
of Blood and Thunder, evidently under the i'm
preston that the general description of class
of literature was the special name of very de-
srable book.
Another small boy demanded ''Harper's Mag

PERSONAL SKETCHES.

How Ex-Mayor Caven Has Learned Several
Languages in His Leisure Moments.
Ex-Mayor John Caven is quiet, unobtrusive
man, person of hard, practical business sense,
and not one who would be suspected of being a
student of strange and varied learning. He is
of Scotch blood, with Irish and English admix-
ture, and was born within two miles of Nc
keesport. Pa, at place exulting in the some
what unromantic name of Long Run. His
father was salt manufacturer, and was among
the first to bore salt wells, as early as 1920.
Young John went to the log school-houses in the
woods, from time to time, irregularly, putting
IN his spare time boiling salt. From fourteen
to twenty years old, he boiled salt day after
day, year in and year out, from II o'clock
at noon until IL midnight, and the spare time he
had IN the remaining twelve hours of the day he
occupied IN carting coal or boating salt on the
Youghlogheny. There were veins of natural
gas all through that part of the country, and in
1888 and 1840 long before anyone thought of
king any use of it. young Caven has time and
again. amused himself by lighting the
escaping gas. He never attended
college day in his life. nor was he ever inside
OF one. except once, and then as visitor, when,
years ago. he looked through the Northwestern
Christian University building, when 1t was being
talked about as good location for an agricult-

reading. His chief recreation was books, and
after coming to this city he began the study of
German and French He had no instructor.
but applied himself so industriously that he
is now able to read in both these languages and
in German is especially proficient. being able to
read the best literature in that tongue He
picked up Latin and Greek in the same way, but
did not pursue them thoroughly or success
fully, though he is able to make TRANSACTIONS
from those languages. In 1873. while suffering
a long illness which followed
by lingering convalescence, he
took up the study of the Hebrew Bible. He has
continued this study, in which he finds great de-
light, for nearly fourteen years, and not day
passes that he does not read chapter or more
of the original Hebrew. Soon afterward he
came across quaint old volume of Zoroaster in
Persian, with German translation, and to this
he has applied himself in his leisure moments
with great satisfaction and profit.

AN OLD SECTIONS DISCOVERY
The Revelation That Came from Curl
GUS Examination of an Old Casket.
The Body of a Beautiful French Woman, Who
Died in this City Forty Years Ago,
Found to Have Turned to Stone.

From tne one favorite burial ground of the

The remains of all those who had friends pos
sessed of means sufficient have been removed to
the more pretentious cemeteries. Among the
hundreds of unkempt and unthought-of graves
are many filed with characters whose history, If
written, wonld add to the adage that truth is
sometimes stranger than fiction"
The old iron vault standing in the center of
the cemetery was familiar to boys who are gray
haired men now. 1t was built in 1S48 by Charles
Williams, the pioneer undertaken of Indianapo-
lis who resides at No. 20 West Michigan
street. For twenty years those who have
had occasion to enter its dingy walls have seen
sitting back in one corner, half concealed by cob
webs, an old metallic casket, dirty, rusted and
almost hidden from view by other and more at
tractive caskets It was usually passed unno-
ticed, and. if by chance, visitor, more induisi-
tive than others. asked about its history. he was
answered that it contained the body Of some wom-
an who died many years ago. and who was or
dered kept in the vault until called for.
For over twelve years Robert Turner, negro
now old and gray haired, has been sexton of the
cemetery. He has acquainted himself with the
history of nearly every person buried in the
cemetery, and takes pride in showing strangers
through the grounds and pointing out to them
the graves of more or less distinguished individ
uals. The old rusty iron casket in the vault has
always worried him, and several weeks ago,
when he was one day at leisure, he concluded to
satisfy his curiosity by a peep into it. He
dragged it from its long resting place. and when
he undertook to lift it was amazed at It's great
weight. 1t was with difficulty that he could lift
one end OF it. On the lid he found the simple
