A Scare Story.

One of the most familiar faces in
Cincinnati is "Greeny' Horn, who
formerly blacked boots in front of
the Grand Opera house. "Greeny" is
IL bright boy and as he advanced in
years hesecured employment to learn
the drug business and is now employ
ed at Ben Isaacs' pharmacy, corner
OF Longworth and Plum streets.
He is only Is years old, but his hair
is as gray Us that of u man OF 90.
"Greeny" tells with pride how his
hair came to turn gray. One night
when Chester park was in its glory
u crowd of sports gave n dance at
the we'll known road house.
"Greeny" was broke ano he saw a
chance to make some money. 1t
was midnight, and the street cars
had stopped running, so he started
on foot for the dance. When he
reached Spring Grove cemetery the
road was Us dark as could be.
"Gleeny" knew where he was, and
visions ofghosts and other earthly
things passed before him. Suddenly
there was a mysterious noise, and
"Greeny" became greatly frightened.
He turned and ran back toward the
city. When he reached home his
hair had turned gray in spots. Ii
continued to change until ii is now

Mistaken Identity.

Nearly everybody in this portion
Of the lead mines knowazsrh has heard
of w. NJ. Rollills. q a.bnsiness man of
Belmont, Lafayette County, this
state, and it is in connection with
this individual that one OF the
strangest cases of mistaken iden-
tity, with serious results following,
happened, writes Il Platville, Wis,
correspondent.
About four months ago n man
was foully murdered at Sparta,
Wis. The murderer, though identi-
fed, escaped and all efforts to cap
ture him proved futile. About two
months ago Mr.. Rollins went to
sparta on business, and as soon as
hc stepped off the train was arrested
as the perpetrator of the crime. Cir
cult Court then being in session, the
district attorney filed information
against him under the name of the
murderer. Mr.. Rollins, of course.
pleaded not guilty, and his attorney,
j. NJ. Morrow, asked for u continu-
ancc, to enable him to get the neces-
sary evidence to establish his inno-
ccnce. But this application Judge
Newman denied, and the accused
was forced to trial. Several witness
scs identified him rs the murderer;
Others sworepositivcly that tl,cys saw
him commit the crime. Ihcclain of
evidence wascompletr, and, although
Rollins took the stand i'm his own be-
half, protesting that he was not the
man; that the name he was being
, tried under was not his name: that
he resided in Belmont and had never
been in SPARTA before. The twelve
men good and true would not be-
lieve him, but returned Il verdict OF
manslnughtcr and Rollins was sent
to Waupm for eight years, and
thithcr the sheriff forthwith took
him. AS soon as he recovered from
his first shock he had his lawyers set
about to establish his innocence and
secure his pardon.
Luckily for him, the night themur-
der was committed IN SPARTA he had
attended IL dance Mt Belmont, and
ms soon as his friends in that place
heard of his trouble they made ap-
plication to Governor Hoard for his
pardon, and sent the afii,lnvits to
over one hundred people who saw
him mt the dance in nqucstion.
About this time the real murderer
was discovered, arrested. and con-
fessed his crime, and Rollins was re-
leased and came home, passing
through this city on the evening
passenger.
The strongest part of the whole
affair is the exact resemblance le-
tween Rollins and ndthemur,lcrcr. Peo:
pie who have seen them both can
hardly tell one from the other. They
nre both crippled exactly alike in
the left hand, and otherwise are per-
feet doubles.
