to many an older mining camp, and
building continues with confidence.
Plans and specification for more
commodious structures are under

well built up town will be here before

The population of the district is es-

An Able GuillotIned.

LAVAL (Francel, August 3O.-The
execution Of Able Bruneau, formerly
vicar Of the Church of Extremmes.
convicted of the murder Of Able Fri
cot, passed off more quietly than the
authorities anticipated. Fully 5000
people were present.
Able Bruneau was awake. when the
public prosecutor, examining magis.
trate and other officials entered his
cell this morning in order to inform
him that his last hour had arrived.
Unaided the condemned man donnsd
the black trousers, and then put on
his shirt, stockings and shoes.
When dressed Able Bruneau was
led to the chapel of the prison, where
representatives of the press were al.
ready seated. In passing the Holy
Water fountain, the Able dipped his
fingers, knelt and crossed himself fer
ve"tJy. He was then led to the altar.
where he prayed Il few moments. and
afterwards, with the prison chaplain,
retired to Il corner where the latter
beard the prisoners last confession,
after which mass was celebrated,
Able B'uneau following the prayers
with great devotion.
After breakfast the prisoner again
communed with the prison chaplain,
and asked that the clergy might par
don him for breaking his VOWS of
chastity. He then informed the at
PENDANTS that he was ready, and show
ed great GOODNESS until he arrived at
the foot of the scaffold, when his for
titude seemed TO desert him.
Upon the guillotine platform Able
Bruneau kissed the crucifix held up
before him by the chaplain, murmur-
ed short prayer with his eyes turned
towards the sky, and then at signal
from Diebler he was overturned upon
the bascule, and at about 500 A. NJ.
the knife fell and the priests head
dropped into the basket. The death
of the priest was the signal for loud
cries of "bravo" from the crowds.
Able Bruneau was found guilty of
the murder of Able Fricot, the Cure
at the Extremes, by stunning him
and throwing him into we'll, pitching
blocks of wood upon him as he strug-
gled for life, and finely pelting him
with long pole until dead. He was
also shown to have committed robber-
les, spent much money in fast living
and was indicted for the murder of a
widow named Bourdais, florist,
found stabbed to death and her place
of. business ransacked. Some of the
stolen money was traced to the pos
session of Able Bruneau.
