CHAPTER III.
ANXIOUS DAYS AND NIGHTS.


Ben Wilkins, who acted as our guide
from the Lamar place, was tall, ath-
letic man of about thirty. He kept us
moving through the woods, but the
smoothness Of the ground and the GER
tainty and quicl1ness of his stride as he
went on silently in front, told that he
was leading us over beaten path with
which he was perfectly familiar
never hear dog barking in the distance
in the night time now that it does not at
once bring to mind some scene or Incl
dent of this flight There was seldom a
night when we were not startled by
hearing from some direction the barking
Of dog, and, like the ringing Of bell
buoy to a sailor, we always regarded it
as signal that told of danger near by.
We were too weak to keep up the
swift pace set by our guide, SO that fre-
quently we had to call on him to halt
while we threw ourselves on the ground,
painting from the unusual exertion An
occasional glimpse of the stars told that
we were moving due north, and it seemed
to me that we must have been marching
for eight or ten hours, when Wilkins,
after leading us along a wagon road for
mile or two, turned into clearing
and stopped before one Of cluster Of
cabins whose outlines we could make
out. Knocking at the door, with pause
between each rap that suggested a pre-
concerted signal, voice called out from
within:

Only Few Technicaiities Be
tween Holden and Death.
Clifton Holden. the Redwood Falls
murderer, whose life has hung in the
balance for the past two years. is now
within sight of the scaffold, and only
the clemency of the chief executive Of
the state can stay the dread sentence of
the law Assistant Attorney General
Childs, who has carried the case through
for the state, yesterday received from
the United States supreme court at
Washington the decree in the .habeaS
corpus proceedings, upholding the cir
cult court of the United States and af-
1irming its order. 1t was placed on file
in the United States circuit court, and
an application will now be made to that
court for judgment, which, when grant
ed, will place Holden in the custody of
Sheriff Mead, of Redwood county. The
supreme court of the state will be APP
piled to for a decree of its order, and
then the murderer will be resentenced
to hang. The date on which the eXecu-
ton will take place will be fixed by the
governor, and there can be no doubt
that in the course of a few weeks the
outraged majesty of the law will be
Vindicated.

Benevolent Catholics Hold

The public school fathers are i'll a
turmoil that is enough to keep them
awake of nights to devise plan to let
them out Of their trouble. The several
hundred teachers in schools have IT.
celved no pay since Christmas and they
have set up clamor that can be heard
without producing raSplng effect.
They say that household expenses,
board bills and shopping bills ought to
be paid and they have no money to
meet the demands or even to pay car
fare without borrowing. One young
lady of an economic turn Of mind said:
''If this continues much longer | will
have to give up my building aSSocia-
ton shares" Another said: Il will have
to 90 to friends and borrow" And this
is the condition of many who, having
invested their surplus money and not
being paid their salaries, will either
have to borrow and pay interest or run
bills that are contrary to their lncllna-
ton. The money to pay teachers is not
available by the board OF education, and
many lenders are ayerSe to lending
money on board OF education certificates
because they are not backed by the
credit of the city. 1t was said by Off
Gals and others yesterday that the cor
poratl0n attorney ought TO uraIt Dill al
once and hand it to the Ramsey county
delegation with request that it be
passed by the legislature at once, under
a suspension of the rules. The bill is to
authorize the city of ST. Paul to pledge
its credit to certificates of Indebtedness
issued by the board of education suffi-
cient 20 pay salaries now due teachers
in the schools.
Comptroller Roche and City Treas
urer Refs, upon being asked yesterday
when money would be available to pay
teachers salaries, said they were not
prepared to say. They said that if GER
tiiicates of indebtedness were issued in
the name of the city the money could be
raised in five minutes thereafter.

To Be Arraigned To-Day-Verdict
at the Inquest.

At the inquest yesterday afternoon it
was learned that the name of the man
who was murdered at Arion hall last
Sunday night is Binda Paola, instead of
PaOla Binda. The inquest was con-
Quoted by Deputy Coroner Darling at

served as jurors. Several Italians. eye
witnesses of the tragedy, were ques-
toned and told the story of the murder
substantially the same as it was
published in the GLOBE yesterday. 1t
appears that Radino had knocked PaOlo
down, and struck the fatal blow with
the knife while hes held him on the
floor. The jury, of course, returned a
verdict to the effect that Paolo came to
his death from wound inflicted by a
knife III the hand of SAVING Radino.
Radino will be arraigned in the mu-
