the most tragic and mysterious on record

day, July II. Mrs. Warden, her daughters
Christie and Fannie, the former about
twenty-five wears of age and the latter
younger, with young friend named Louise
GoOdell, were returning at about ten o'clock
from the village of Hanover to their home
about mile from the village. At point
on the road called the Vale of Temple,
Almy stepped from behind clump of
bushes and ordered Mrs. Warden, Fannie
and Miss Goodell to go on. " | have come
900 miles to see Christie" said he, and
will see her alone" He then drew re-
volver and pointed it at the women, threat
ening to shoot if they did not go on. A
terrible struggle ensued. Mrs. Warden
had been dragged away by Miss Goodell
but Fannie chung to her sister, until the lat
ter was torn away by Alny and dragged
into pasture. Several shots were fired at
Fannie one of which grazed her shoulder.
Then she hid in the bushes for a few min
utes until IA neighbor arrived. Both at once
started for the place where Almy and
Christie were struggling, when two shots

near Ely station, over three hundred differ

The plumber was stored in a cave on a
mountain. At the time of his capture he
made u desperate and determined resist

wounds before he surrendered Four days
after he escaped from his captors and ran
over mile and a half with nothing on but
his nightshirt and a bedspread thrown
around him. He concealed himself in Il

was convicted on nine different indictments
for breaking and entering, and was sen

He was in the prison but seven years be-

to bury all the people who die in Rio. There
are six classes of burials from which q choice
can be made. For 81 $50 you can have q
funeral of the first class, which is very swell
indeed with a gold and silver chariot, fancy
casket and all sorts of gorgeousness The
cheapest burial costs only SIS. For that sum
the corpse is put into box, hung beneath an
axle beneath two wheels, conveyed IN that way
to the cemetery and dumped out of the box

readily condoned and forgotten as a rule. 1t
may be said of the men of this Latin race that
