A Plot to Murder

soe w 4'ANtouFs
CAMDEN, N. j., Sept. 24.-The star
witness In the Leconey murder trial next
month will noe be Garrett Murray, the
farm hand, but William Smith, who 10
locked up.
Smith lives with his wife in a little
tumble-down thahty on Edward Bur
roughs' farm, not far from Lecopey's.
1t has been learned that at $50 o'clock
on the morning that Annie Leconey met
her death Chalkley Leconey went to
Smith's house aud aroused him, telling
him: Annie and had quarrel aad
she is hurt l want You to go over to
Mrs. O'Donne rs and tell her to send
| Lizzie down to the house after some
chicken feed. She will see Frank Lingo
there"
FEARED THE SCHEME HAD FAILED.
Lecorey, it is sad, returned to the
farm and reloined Garrett Murray in the
ci ron patch. The morning hours wore
on and nothing transpEed. Leccney
grew restless and susp lcous that all had
not gone well. He agan went over TO
Smiths, found that the latter had not
gone to ODonnel's aud urged him to do
so. Smith finally did 40, and little
Lizzie O'Donnell went to the farm as
SIZE was direc'od and discovered Annie's
body, but she did not rec Lingo. Her
mother met her or the road, as testified
to at The inquest, and thus The alarm was
first given.
THE MURDERED eIRL's ESTATE.
County Clerk Edward Burrough, the
Leconey administrator, and Deputy Sheriff
West made an appra'sement of The dead
girls estate. Besides the SIPS found in
her trunk, and which is now in Coroner
Stanton's hands, there ,is'-quite q large
wardrobe Of clothing, housekeeping linen,
fancy goods and part of the furniture
that filled the little parlor OF the farm
house, which was purchased Jointly by
Chalkley Leconey and his liece, making
altogether alb ut $3.50 worth.
Clerk Burrough, who is also foreman
of the Coroner's jury, denied yesterday
that he was prejudiced in Leconey's
favor.
Detective Burr. of Noorestowp, has ar
rested George Bennett, the colored man
who is suspected of completely in the
murder. Bennett was seen at Mount
Holly on the afternoon OF ths murder
spending money freely and drinking.

position your friend desires is sought
after by many more. l have received
great number Of applications for all
the offices in the Territory. 1t seems
to me that the only fair and just
method for me to pursue under the
circumstances is to defer to the wishes
of the party in the Territory. l as
sumo that the Territorial committee
and the member of the National CON-
mittee will as nearly reflect the views
and wishes of the party as anybody
else. 1t would be manifestly unfair
for me to make a personal matter of
the patronage. 1t is my impression
that President Harrison will not make
any changes in the officers ''except

The Idaho legislature is still wrest-
ling with bills and throwing the most
of them on the table or burylng them
in the bill cemetery. But few yet
have been made laws. Whatever that
body does to immortalize itself as law
makers must be done in the few re-
naming days of the session. Idaho
does not need a great deal of new
legislation but what she does, needs
badly. A great many bills have been
introduced for buncombe, a great
many of no practical benefit to the
territory had they become laws and a
great many whose authors had no
idea of seeing them printed even.

have not given up all hope yet but
for some measures the chances

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 20.-From Bolar,
in Mercer, County, Missouri, comes
the following story of a deplorable
tragedy: Henry Thomas, an old farm
err, has four grown daughters named
Hattie, Margaret, Nancy and Jane,
aged 16, IS, 20 and % years, respec-
lively. Last Wednesday night Samuel
and Charles Hasburn, brothers, pro-
cured ladder and helped Margaret
and Jane out of the second story
window of their fathers house, and as
they were about to elope with the girls
the pld man appeared on the scene,
but too late to prevent their escape.
He at once procured the best horse
he had and shot gun and started in
pursuit When about twelve miles
from home he overlook the fleeing
party. He Immediately opened fire on
them, killing both the boys and fatally
wounding Margaret. After getting
nearly home with the girls he was
told that the other two, Hattie and
Nancy, had also eloped with Ned
treason and Thomas Allison. He at
once left the girls he had with him in
charge of some neighbors and started
after the others. After securing the
other two girls without any serious
trouble, he started back, but when
about two miles from home a mob
took possession Of him and strung
him up to tree.
The old man was terribly strict
with the girls, he would hardly let
them out of his sight hence, the elope-
ment. lie always Dragged that he
would not be bothered with lazy soas-
in-law. The public feeling is strong
ly-in favor of the lynching. Margaret
died last night.

AN IDAHO WONDER.
Discovery Of Floating Island on the
Dome Of the Continent.

Dome OF the Continent.
John Tomlinson, of Bannack, Idaho
told San Francisco Examiner repor-
ter recently that there is real float
ing island on Henry's Lake, Idaho.
The lake is situated on the dome of
the continent, at depression in the
Rocky Mountains known as Targee's
Pass, in honor of the trapper who dis
covered it. Ii is oval in the shape and
has an area of forty square miles. son
first appearances, said Mr.. Tomlinson,
1.-The lake, the waters of which are as
clear as emeralds, seems to have no
outlet. 1t is surrounded by solid
ground, on which are groves of pine
and luXuriant mountain grass. On
the western edge lies what appears to
be hollow pool connecting it, and
from this, obscured in a growth of
shrubs, rises small creek, the source
of the north fork of the Snake River.
Now, on this lake, and sometimes seen
on the north side and sometimes on
the other, is this curious floating
island. 1t is about 300 feet in diam
eter and has for its basis a mat OF
roots, so dense as to support large
trees and heavy thicket underneath.
Decayed vegetation adds to the thick
ness of the mat and forms a mold
several feet in thickness. On the edge
of the floating forest in summer time
may be seen luxuriant growth of
bluejoint grass, the roots of which
form so compact mass rs to support
the weight of horse. ANY number of
men have 70 difficulty in walking
about on it. Further back among the
trees you might build big house
and make a garden and do whatever
you please. You would be just as
solid and safe as though there were
not 30 or 100 or 200 feet of water
under you. There is willow thicket
near the center of the island, and
scattered among these willows and
contiguous to them are a number of
aspens and dwaft pines. These catch
the breezes which float oyer the island
and act like sails on boat and move
the 3O0-foot body hither and thither
over the forty-mile square of water.
This shows why you may one day see
the island on one side and the next
day on the other. 1t is the queerest
thing | ever saw You pitch your
tent some evening on one side near
the island and are pleased with the
beautiful prospect. There is the
island only few rods from you, COW
cred with trees and grass. The next
morning you wake up and the island
is gone. You look far away to the
other side and there it is, its trees
bending gracefully in the wind. Along
in the afternoon it returns, or it may
take an easy jaunt Off at an oblique
angle from you. Henry Lake is ex-
ceedingly picturesque. Around it.
rise snow-capped peaks. among which
are some of the highest of the con-
tinents backbone, partly covered with
a verdure of forest and grass, and
showing here and there formations of
granite and unique basaltic columns.
During the hunting season the waters
of the lake swarm with wild fowl.
There are beaver, too, and plenty of
big game may be had in the adioin-
ing mountains.
