When de Sun Stood Still.

An old darkey hearing a discus
sion about the sun standing still at
the behest of Joshua, remarked, "If

Julicum Seezer fout his battle, cum in
contak wild de gineral machinery of
de globe, knock de kyars of de track,
bust de locomoter, squash all de pas
sengers and make a gineral smash
up" Rogers has no such fears. He
seems to think the earth revolves
around him and that the sun should
not hasten it's going down on council
days until he gives the order. Coun-
Gil formerly met at p. m. Four

The Enterprfsing Reporter.

CHICAGO, May 24.-Wm. B. Hotch-
kiss a reporter for the Inter Ocean, did
a little police work last night on his
own account. Result may be the dis
closure that another person besides
Cronin was murdered. Hotchkiss
found that the suburban police had
neglected to search the Catch basin,
where Cronin's body was found,
after removing the corps. The news
paper man decided to do this himself,
and in the bottom of the sewer basin
was found a bloody towel, like
the one wrapped about Cronin's
head. Further cropping brought
up single human finger.
The member was decomposed,
and it was impossible to determin g
whether it was mans or woman's,
but the probabilities favor the idea
that it was the finger Of male. The
ideas suggest ted by the new find were
various. The recollection of Wood
rufus confessions as to a woman's
body, were reviewed, as were also his
statements indicating there had been
a struggle, in which Cronin was a
participant. The woman's body,
Woodruff said, had been cut up into
small pieces, and the finding of fin
ger is pretty generally taken as a pos
sible confederation of the prisoner s
strange story. 1t is certain that the
finger is not from the hand of DIR.

at the First Mission three days be-
fore the Lockwood shooting, as pub

is not the verbatim statement he made
on the morning of the occurrence.
He told it at Bryan's stable when
he turned in his hack that night after
the occurrence and at o'clock in the
morning told it to a gentleman at
FrIedman's saloon but said the hack
was not taken away from him. The
men pulled pistol on him when he
got to the mission and demanded the
hack, but he told them he would not
give up the hack unless they killed
him. They could not "bluff7 him and
got in the hack and drove to the
Arkansas Pass depot. Here they got
out and went into a boarding house
near by, telling him, Williams. to
wait for them. He waited some time
and seeing them no more drove off
and turned in his hack.
