arc two of them. Alexander b. and John

Sixteen years ago they established bank

farming community Of Edgar county. and

ises to pay, and In turn got accOmmodA-
tion notes from these friends for the ask

Things went on In an sppasantly pros
porous manner until few months ago,
when the brothers, after series of pFelim-
mary nibbles, took DO grain gambling on q
large scale They seem to have guessed
wrong on the market every time Last
July flre destroyed their bank building,
and from that event may be dated their
apparent resolveto make or break. They
bought notes right and left and crsdited
the sellers as having placed the purchase
money on deposit. They borrowed pa
psr" from a score OF people and sold the
obligations to banks In other towns. They
used the funds In betting on wheat and
lost.
The other day they made a grand clean
up and fled. Their own father was despoiled
OF all the money he had In the world, and
"A. b. Standifords wife has nothing left to
show for the $4,000 she loaned her hus-
band. Merchants, laborers and farmers
are reduced to abject poverty. Even the
Methodist minister to whose church the
brothers belonged was bilked out Of $780,
the hard savings of years Of toll.
The only concern not swindled was the
Good Templars' lodge. for whose benefit
Alexander left fourteen dollars hs held
as treasurer. But against this must be
counted the fact that just before depart
ing he drew fraudulent drafts for
$4,000 and realized half that sum on
them. II Ii also hinbod that he
was accompanied in his flight by another

million dollars poorer for having known

Wanted to Change His Luck.

Gamblers are notoriously superstitious,
and bsltove in all sorts of charms, "hoo-
doos, warning dreams and so on. But
the palm for this sort OF idiocy must be
awarded 10 Charles Clay, who lives nesr
Henderson,, KY, and who has been ar.
resced at the instance of james Hender-
son. Clay is charged with having opened
bio grave of Henderson's wife and having
cut from the right hand of che dettd woman
tho forefngcr.
Ciay has been unlucky at cards, and was
adyised by some of his companions of a
sure way TO secure luck, namely, TO visit a
graveyard on dark night, open the grave
OF female and cut Off the foreflnger of her
right hand. Clay was credltious enough
TO believe IN the recipe, and acted on 1t.
He had no motive of robbery, as wasshown
by his Ieaving untouched valuable ring
worn on tbs left hand of the corpse.

full Of entertaining stories Of the good old
times, and, as is common with the aged,
the stories grow little by frequent telling.
On one occasion the Comanches murdered
boy who was with the hunters; the latter
overlook and killed seven Of the savages,
and the boys father was so incensed that
he prevailed on Mr.. Chriss to skin the
Comanche who had his boys scalp. The
skin was cured and painted, and was
long the star ornament Of saloon in
Dallas They say that on the inside Of
the thighs, where the wild rider makes the
strong grip on his horse, the skin was
nearly an inch thick.
On another occasion he wrapped deli
cate companion in n fresh buffalo hide to
keep him from freezing to death, and in
the night the hide froze stiff on him and
"went nigh to KILN him" When Gem
eral Buell. was in command at Fort Griffin
he "set up job" on Lieutenant Ed Tur-

When, last spring, the Dominion parlia-
ment began to investigate serious charges
formulated against people holding high
official and social rank, the accusers were
regarded with suspicion, and the accused
received the respectful sympathy Of tho
friendly and incredulous. But month
after month testimony accumulated of the
most convincing sort. 1t was shown that
in the construction of public works-docks,
harbor improvements, buildings, railway
extension, and 80 on--the Dominion treas
ury had been despoiled of millions.
and that the contractors had 'stood in"
with the politicians who got them the
jobs, and contributed huge sums to the
campaign funds and private bank accounts
of their hackers.
1t developed. according to one published
summary of tho situation, that "the tax
payer was robbed on the one hand and
bribed on the other" The firm chiefly
benefiting by tho alliance was Larkin,
Connolly 81 Co, which is reputed to bo "a
million dollars ahead of the game" One
OF the members Of this firm was Owen Il.
Murphy, a person who left New York with
come precipitancy several years ago, and
who was unkindly referred to at that time
as fugitive boodlcr." The recent in
quiry caused the rupture Of numerous con
fidential and business relations, and for
this reason Mr.. Murphy was moved to ro-
mark to reporter the other day regard
ing his former comrades:
