way.
BoRpENTowN, N. j., Oct. 1.-THE
case of William Massey, charged with
the murder of Lizzie Holloway in this
city on May Esd last, came up before
the grand jury ON Tuesday and an in
dictment was found by vote of 12 to
II. On the day following the grand
Jury reconsidered the indictment and
almost unanimously voted for no bill.
Massey will be discharged from Gus
tody when the grand jury adjourns next
week.
On May Esd. Lizzie Holloway was
found in her room unconscious, with
her head terribly bruised. Massey was
suspected of the crime and was placed
under arrest awaiting the result of the
coroner's investigation. Miss Holloway
died the following day and the coroner's
jury held Massey responsible for her
death.
He was taken to the Burlington
county Jail, where he has been confined
awaiting the action of the grand jury.
This leaves the Burlington county
authorities without clue as to who
committed the brutal murder.

Texas Related by Alex. Il. Sweet.

an Amusing Tale OF the Early Days of
Texas Related by Alex. Il. Sweet.
The scene OF the occurrence am
about to describe Is laid in the little
frontier town OF Bandera, in Western
Texas. The time is away back In the
mites, before the advent OF railroads,
nigh hats, dudes, bunco steerers and
other distinguishing features OF our
modern civilization.
The few hundred inhabitants OF Ban
dera were very mach worked up over
the presence in their midst Of a long
haired desperate by the name OF Ari-
iona BIZ. Everybody in Texas knew
Arizona Bill by reputation. Scores Of
men had fallen before his unerring aim.
lie had made record for himself in
California, out of which State he had
been driven by the celebrated vigilance
committee. The stranger was Arizona
Bill and none other, fer Smoot, the old
stage driver, had seen that noted char
acter in California and identified him at
once.
Bill, as we will call him for short,
did not get into any personal difficulties
while he was In Bandera. He didn't
have any occasion TO shoot anybody
Inc officials were brave men, but they
hesitated about tackling Bill. They
wero not afraid Of any ordinary des-
perado, but they gave the right OF way
10 man who had the reputation OF
pulling qua quicker than mule could
kick, and was never known TO have
shot twice at the same man, for the
same reason that lightning never strikes
| twice Ia the same place. 1t isn't nee
essary. Bill put up at the local hotel,
and lived on the fat OF the land, but the
landlord reirained from asking for a
settlement. William had everything
his own way. He dressed we'll lived
high, smoked tho finest cigars, and al
ways had his pockets full OF money.
One day there was a new arrival at
| the Bandera Hotel He hailed from
| New Jersey aud registered as Melanc-
| thon Tom pkins. He was a young man
and an invalid. His lungs were affect
ed and his object In coming 10 Bandera
was to be benefited by the climate,
which was dry aud bracing. He was a
| timid man constItutionally, and his bad
| health had made him even more nervous
than he was by nature. Finally, the
| landlord persuaded Tompkins to
carry a pistol in Difference to public
| sentiment. but on reflection Tompkins
removed the pistol from tho holster.
/ Nobody would know but that there was
pistol in the holster, and be would
not be regarded as defying public SEN
timent by going around unarmed. He
/ put the pistol 10 n bureau drawer. and
utilized the empty holster as a recep-
tacle for his money.

seriously.
The one thing needed-a naval sta

street, HIS long hair swapping in the
breeze. Before Tompkins could over
take him, be had disappeared in the
mesquite bushes. The citizens OF Ran
oera could hardly believe their eyes
when they saw the constructive ten
oerfoot from New Jersey chasing the
tantallizing terror. They cheered Tomp.
klns wildly, be was the hero OF the day.
Aompkins reputation as a bad man
was short lived. A few days later a man
arrived In Bandera who looked as much
IKE Arizona Bill as one tarantula looks
Ike another. He arrived during the
night and the first thing he did was to
mold a private interview with the aston
ished landlord. The new arrival
orphaned that he was the real
arizona Bill, all wool and a
YARD wide, with the makers name
o1own In the bottle, so to speak. He
had heard that = bogus Arizona Bill,
VINO looked very much like him. was
passing as the original desperate Of
that name and blackmAiling the cit-
LenS OF BandeIa. He had come TO Ban
dera TO have little business talk with
his double. There was an omInous
glitter In the eyes OF the new arrival
that BODIED no good for the duplicate,
when found.
The landlord explained that the du-
plicate had been run out OF town by a
tendertoot from New Jersey. The new
arrival expressed his admiration for the
piucky invalid, and the landlord prom
ised 10 Introduce them to each other
next morning.
On the following morning when the
landlord and the genuine terror went TO
the room OF Mr.. Tompkins a surprise
awaited them. Mr.. Tompkins was not
TO be found. He had heard that Arizona
Bill had returned and was looking for
somebody. The genuine Arizona Bill,
hearing that his double was repeating
hts Bandera experiment ia the town OF
Waco, several hundred mile distant,
mounted his horse aud started In that
direction.
a few weeks later an item appeared
In the Texas papers TO the effect that
the noted desperado, Arizona Bill had
been killed in Waco by a mysterious
stranger. Later on there was another
Item that Arizona Bill was alive and
running a faro bank 10 Silver city.
Both reports were true. and as subse-
Quently the surviving Bill shot two men
In quarrel, the Inference is very plain
that the imitation desperate met his
fate at the hands OF the original.
