him once few years AGO, but he only re-
nained one day. He was very emphatic in
bis denial that for domestic or other rea-
sons he had ever had any difficulty what
ever with "Mox."
WHAT "Mox" SAID.
Mr.. Feitig was asked IL 'Mox," when
first found lying wounded in the barn, had
made any other statements about how he
come to DO hurt than that he was kicked
1.-THE first day we found him." replied
Mr.. Feitie. he made no mention of
having received his wounds in any other
way than by kick from o horse, but q
few few DAYS before his death. when he had
recovered sufficiently to walk about, no
was over at my place one Wednesday and
then said something about barrel of
potatoes falling on his head. The truth is
he was really not in his perfect senses Mt
that time. and don't know whether his
statements can be relied upon ct oil. He
nav not have been rational the day he was
first found wounded, but am inclined to
think he was.
DID HE TIE HIS HORSE?
AT one time,n continued Mr.. Feitig,
she said. while speaking of being kicked
by the horse. that on the night previous to
the attack on him he went in the stable
after had been reading that portion Of
the Philosophy on Dreams and laid
down with the Intention of sleeping. He
got to thinking over what | had read to
him, and becoming somewhat restless he
arose and tied his horse. which had been
wandering around the premises, causing
the watch-dogs to bark considerably"
suLLY's CHARACTER.
Speaking of Sully. whom he seems to
consider the guilty man. Mr.. Feitlg said
that somewhere near May 18th they dis
covered that he had stolen Sl6 from their
money-drawer. The money was found
wrapped in handkerchief in Sully's room
and when accused Of the theft he denied
taking it. SAYING he had saved it up. for his
brother. His brother was asked about 1T
and denied that Tom was saving up any
thing for him; .,
why didn't you discharge him then Z"
asked the reporter.
"Well.n said Mr.. Feitig." admonished
him severely at the time, and made up my
mind to look for somebody to put in his
place. but it was very hard TO get hands at
| that time OF the year. and as he was very
industrious boy | determined TO keep MIN

PERSONAL.
The name of the accused, which ha

Mr. Feitigs wife is a native OF Germany
and was Miss Eva Maria Vender. ,Sh
lived in Philadelphia and was married t'
Mr.. Feitig in May. 1873. Her sisters nus
band, Mr.. John Tresek, OF Philadelphia
has been on here recently.
| Rosdeitcher was native OF Austria, ant
cameto this country some eight or nin
wears ago. and soon afterwards was takeI
up by Mr. Feitig, ST.. and given employ
ment on his farm. where he was contente'
to stay only few weeks, though. ever sine

This case, in which there will probabl.
no another arrest soon. is still involved II
