The discovery OF the monster II few days

A little further down the road toward

dowed it with town hall, a railroad

capering on the top of it, little park,
and bronze figure of deer, race

man about 90 years old, is supposed TO
be worth in the neighborhood of $780,

who daily plies up and down the North

her brains. There WAS no officer in town,
and though hundred men stood around
not one dared to arrest the murderer. He
reloaded his revolver and walked the streets
for an hour, drawing his weapon when any
one approached. Several men set off for n

Winchester rifle that they might drop the
