a Garden Ruthlessly Plundered in
Daylight.
Yesterday afternoon, in bro ID day
light, some person who probably would
hate to be called k-thief-entered
the premises at 1913 X street and pulled
up by the roots beautiful camellia bush
and carried it off.
For six years the lady of the house had
watched and cared for that bush almost
as mother cares for her child, and the
creature who could be guilty OF the act
referred to deserves the lash.

honor to the Arbella. She died in Sa-

after her arrival in America.
While my genealogists were at work
upon the pedigree of Sir Archibald and
Lady Eleanor, I had their coffin plates
polished up and retouched in spots. Also
I caused to be made for my sisters and
mother q few sold ornaments set with
handsome gems and bearing the family
crest, bracelets and all else being of an
cient patterns. They were the best coun-
terfeits Of ancient family jewels that
could be turned out in London by an ex-
pert at such work, an artist immensely
patronized on the sly.
l next invented a very pleasing and
romantic fiction Of these jewels having
been deposited by Sir Archibald with a
certain barrister-his lawyer-as a secret
trust. to be delivered to the heirs of his
son Walter when personally applied for
and under certain conditions, one of
which was that the person applying
must remove his remains to America, in
accordance with his dying wish. This
trust bound not only the counselor at
law, but also his heirs, with much more
that put into the story to make it
nlausible

All this was written out upon a most

To the true genealogy of Sir Archi-

CINCINNATI, O., July ia case under
the Geary Chinese Exclusion act made its
appearance in the United States court in
this city, yesterday, in the shape of an
appeal to the United States circuit court of
appeals for the Western district Of Michi-
gan, the appellants being Ching 10 and
Sing Lee, who made their home in Petosky,
Mich.
The appellants who are. natives of
China, were arrested at Petosky February
9Th, 1898, on the charge of unlawfully re-
naming and living within the United
States. After hearing they were found
guilty and sentenced to 20 days imprison-
ment, at hard labor, in the Kent county,
Michigan, jail; part of the sentence being
that, at the expiration of the 20 days i'm
prisonment, they were to be returned to
China.
Application was made by Ching Jo and
Sing Lee for a writ of habeas corpus, on
the ground that they were held in custody
and restrained of their liberty after the
expiration of the period for which they
were sentenced to imprisonment, their
claim being that they have been kept in
the county Jail continuously since Febru-
ary 18th, 1898. The application, however,
was refused by Judge Severns of the west
ern district of Michigan, and an appeal is
now taken in Cincinnati to the United
States circuit court of appeals.
The claim made by Ching 10 and Sing
Lee is that they should have been dis,
charged at the expiration of the % days
imprisonment to which they were SEN
fenced.
The cases were the first that were brought
under the Geary Exclusion act. They are
regarded as test cases and upon the de-
cision may result the future enforcement
OF the Geary law.

FUNERAL OF A FAMILY.
Bomberaer's Victims, the Six
Kreiders, Buried Yesterday.

The Bodies Laid Side by Side in the
Mennonite Meeting-house---Tho
of People in Attendance--Alls Six Buried
in One Grave.
United Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
LANCASTER, Pa, July 12.-The most
sensational funeral ever held in this
county, If not in the State, was that
this morning of Daniel S. Kreider, wife
and four children, who were murdered
at Cando, N. D., by Albert Bomberger.
The bodies were laid side BY side in
Risser's Mennonite meeting house, in
Mount Joy township, and as early as 9
o'clock this morning, when the doors
were opened, a steady stream of people
poured into the building to get look at
the murdered people.
Even at o'clock the roads leading to
the church were filled with vehicles,
which by the time announced for the
services, filled every available space
within half mile of the church.
1t is estimated that there were 5000
carriages and $4,000 persons present.
Owing to the crowd services were held
both in and outside the church.
The jam to get into the building to
see the victims was SO great that many
women tainted. Those who got among
the crowd were forced in by the pres
sure, and the only way of exit was
through window.
The bodies were laid side by side in
one grave, ID feet long and ~ feet wide.
After the funeral the great concourse
was fed at the home of the murdered
woman's father, John H. Riser, who
lives near by.
