Burcheu Still sticks to His Story That III
Did Not Kill Benweu

WOODSTOCK, Ont, Oct. 20.-Mrs. West
Jones had an interview with Burchell a
day or two ago. They conversed about
the case, and in answer to pressing
questions put by her Burchell de-

that he had confederate. He has
stuck to this story from the start-it is

great majority of the people hereabouts
still believe that he alone committed

THE CASE OF JOSEPH B. BARTON.
Routine Business In the Third District :
Probate Matters Before Judge Bartch

An interesting case OF hdbeds corpus was
heard before Judge Zane yesterday afternoon
The application was made by Mr. j. H. Movie in
behalf of Joseph B. Barton, who on the 14tn of
December last was sentenced at Beaver for un.
lawful cohabitation, to pay fine OF $500 and
costs. In default of payment he was commit
ted to the penitentiary where he has served
out the necessary thirty days imprisonme MT.
On Thursday he was taken before Commission
er Greenman and applied to take the poor debt
or's oath.
Barton testified that he owned a small town
lot in Paragoona, Ioron county, of the value of
$500 or $500. Besides this, he had some seven
acres of land at distance of a
mile and half or SO from the town
de also had a team and wagon, but no other
property. On this showing Commissioner Green
man refused to grant the release, holding that
mas much as the parcels were separated they
could not be considered one homestead and
were, therefore, not exempt from execution
rms really oyerruled the decision of Judge Zane
delivered some four or five years ago.
1t is said that Mr. Greenman stated that the
former decision OF Judge Zane was not good law
80 the case was brought before Judge Zane and
ably argued by Mr.. Moyle for the petitioner and
Mr.. Mckay for the people, upon which, and the
showing OF the ABOVE facts, Judge Zane over
ruled Mr. Greenman's overruling and reaffirmed
his opinion given in that Lee case and Barton
was liberated.

An Unfortunate Man.

On Wednesday evening as the
southbound Santa Fe passenger
train appeared around the curve just
beyond the long bridge in the north
ern suburb Of the city a man was
seen to leap from the car window
and run desperately as for his life.
There was no question that he was
insane. He imagined that some
body was after him. The unfortu-
nate man proved to be F. Engelking,
of MiIheim, Austin county, brother
of Mrs. E. G. Langhammer, wife of
the county assessor. He had been
to Bot Springs, Ark, for his health
and was returning when the maniac
spell came on him. He has been in
the insane asylum two or three times
but was supposed'to be cured, or at
least harmless. After jumping from
the train he was overtaken, and be-
ing recognized as the brother in-law
of Mir. Langhammer, was turned
over to him. Mr.. L. took him to his
house and after supper put him to
bed. A few minutes later he re-
turnedto thereon and Engelking had
disappeared and has not been heard
of since, although Mr.. Langhammer
spent nearly all Thursday hunting
for and making inquiries concerning
him.

1t Beats MulhattOn.

A colored man by the name of
Smith, who lives on Mrs. Hickey's
place mile or so northeast of town,
and who recently purchased a mule
from Mr.. August Schendel, says that
one day last week while he was in
the field blowing his mule the ami
NAL began to groan as if in great
pain and to swell up suddenly as if
it had wind collie or something of
the kind. He started to take the
mule out OF harness, but before he
could do so it became inflated so
rapidly that its belly burst and its
bowels rushed out on the ground,
death resulting almost instantly.
The BANNER does not undertake to
say whether the above story is true
or not, but simply repeats it as it was
told. The darkey swears that it is
as true as gospel.
