Hardly a week goes by without the
announcement Of a handsome bequest
to college, and cities also come in for
a goodly inheritance Of this kind. Hart
ford has just learned that the will of
a deceased citizen bestows upon it a
large park and 100000 to take care Of
it. The colleges and the cities are the
coming plutocrats, and the people will
probably be willing to stand it,

HAYWARD COMPOSERS
HE TELLS Tho STORY OF M,ss
GING'S MURDER.

His Brother, He Says, Conceived M.
Plan for the Purpose Of Securing
the Life Insurance-Thc Real NM
Minneapolis, Dec. 9.-Adry A. Hav,
ward last night confessed how Misc
katherine Cling was murdered and
who fired the fatal shot. He declares
that Claus A. BliXt, the engineer At
the Ozark apartments, fired the shot
which killed miss Cling, and the ma.
tive of the crime, which was planned
by Harvey Hayward, was to secure
the insurance money on Miss Ginrs
life. After firing the shot he declares
Blixt returned to the city and gave tho
bloody clothing 40 one Ole Erickson
his helper, who took it to Iowa CITY
where it was washed. Erickson
brought it back to Minneapolis sold
part of it to a secondhand dealer on
Washington avenue, and the rest was
burned.
Acting on this information al 1.3u
this MOI ming the police arrested Cbo~
A. BliXt, the engineer of the OZARK
apartments, where Miss Katherin,.
Cling lived, tie warrant charging him
with murder in the first degree. They
also arrested Ole Erickson at the
building, as an accon plice El:x,.
whose description tallies with that of
the man who gave the boy, Paul Born
the note for Miss Cling.

The two detectives named were the
first to obtain information in regard To-
Harry Hayward's relations with tho
dead woman, and their visit to the
flats Thursday was with a view to
learning, if possible, something from
the engineer that would throw more
light on the mystery. 1t had been suc
gested that the clothes worn by the
murderer, which must have been be-
smeared with blood, might have been
burned in the basement of the flats

the exercise and her long chestnut
hair floating out behind her. She had
a commission from her father in the
city ard was dashing in, as she had
done many a time before, with all the
fearlessness of youth, thinking only of
her task and how it was to be per-

dams, journeying in with their peltry,

by a great drove of cattle, driven by a
hslf-dozen Withholding herdsmen from

deavored to pass this obstacle by push
Ing her horse into what appeared to be
a gap. Scarcely had she got fairly in
to it, however, before the beasts closed
in behind her, and she found herslf
completely embedded in the moving
stream of ferce-eyed, long-horned
bullocks. Accustomed as she was to
deal with cattle, she was not alarmed
at her situation, but took adj
vantage of every opportunity to urge
her horse on in the hope of pushing
her way through the cavalcade. I'm
fortunately, the horns of one of the
beasts, either by accident or design,
came in violent contact with the flank
of the mustang, and excited it to mad
ness. In an instant it reared up on it's
hind legs with a snort of rage, and
pranced and tossed in a way that
would have unseated any but a most
skillful rider. The situation was full
of peril. Every plunge of the ex-
cited horse brought it against the
horns again, and goaded it to
fresh madness. 1t was all that
the girl could do to keep herself in the
saddle, yet a slip would mean a
terrible death under the hoofs of the
unwieldy and terrified animals. I'm
