der of Farmer Umberger, have frightened
up since the receipt of letter from sis
ter, in.which she states that confession
has been made by one John Beach, of
Somerset county, to having murdered
Umberger, and duplicating man named
Miller from the same county, as an ac-
complice. The story as given by the
Nicely girl, is that a certain justice of the
peace presented himself at Somerset re
Gently, made affidavit that John Beach
had appeared before him end confessed
that he and man named Miller had kill
ed Umberger, and that the Nicely BOYS
had nothing whatever to do with the
murder, The sisters story lacks confirm
alton, and in some respects looks i'm
probable. Some of the court house off
cials believe il was cooked up to influ-
ence the Board of Pardons, before which
their case will be brought again. A spec
lal from Greensburg gives different YER
sion of the alleged confession. 1t says
A rumor is in circulation here to the effect
that man named Pat Cayanaugh, con-
Vict in Somerset Jail, has confessed to the
murder of old man Umberger. The con
tession is alleged to have been procured
Though the efforts of the father of the
Nicely boys. 1t is said he has the papers
in his pocket and will arrive here to-day
and make affidavit to the papers. Cava-
naug is an eccentric individual and lived
in the neighborhood of the Nicelys.

Eponsive call, signal as eager and con-
lident as his own, and Nolan and No
Ian's rider whirIed quickly around to see
the source from whence it rose. -Four
hundred yards away. Just appearing over
little knoll in the prairie, and moving
towards them from the direction of a
distant clump of grazing cattle, another
horse and rider came trotting into hail
ing distance; and Perry. his bright blue
eyes dilating, and Nolan, his dainty, SEN
sitive ears pricked forward, turned
promptly to meet and greet the new ar
rivals.
For fifty yards or so the stranger rode
confidently and at rapid trot. Perry
smilingly watched the outturned toes,
the bobbingI,"bent over" seat, and an
gular elbows that seemed so strange and
out of place on the broad Texan plain
He could almost see the "crop" in the
free hand, and was smiling to himself
at the idea of a 'crop" to open wire
gates. when he became aware of the
fact that the strangers mien had chang
ed; confidence was giving place to hes
itancy. and he was evidently checking
the rapid trot of his horse and throwing
his weight back on the cantie, while his
feet, thrust through to the very heels in
the cleaning steel stirrups, were braced
in front of the powerful shoulders of the
bay. The horse wanted to come, the
rider plainly wanted to stop. Another
moment. and Perry could see that the
stranger wore eyeglasses and had just
succeeded in bridging them on his nose
and was gldrinS at him with his chin
high in air They were within two hun
dred yards of each other by this time,
and to Prrry's establishment, the next
thing the stranger did was to touch
sharply his horse with barbed heel,
whirl him spitefully about, and go bob
bling of across the prairie at lively can
ter, standing up in his stirrups. and be-
striding his steed as though his object
were not so much ride as game of leap
frog.
twas evident that he had caught sight
of Perry when Nolan neighed, had rid
den at once TO meet him, expecting to
find some one connected with the ranch,
and had vcered off in disgust the mo-
ment he was able to recognize the uni
form and horse equipments of the United
States cavalry.
