Burglary at the Locks.

This morning about half-past 2 o'clock
the store of D L. Gates & Co. was robbed
at the Locks TIE robbers effected an
entrance through the store room, which ad
joins the main building. and was probably
attempting to open the till when two dogs.
which are kept in the building. began to
bark. This alarmed them at their work,
and they made rapid exit through the
glass doors in front. Mr.. John Trana, the
constable, heard the noise made by the
glass being broken, and Immediately sur
missed that robbsry was being perpetrated.
He ran towards the store of D l.. Gates G
Co., and reached the railroad track whe,,
he saw the robbers running away. He I'M
mediately arrested them, and found in their
possession pocket kniyes. razors. three gen.
tlemeL's gold-plaiied chains. two lady's
gold necklaces with charms, one gold ring.
silk handkerchiefs, etc. These were not
taken from Gates store. but had been
stolen from other parties. They were taken
before the magistrate, Justice Williams,
and were placed under $1,000 bonds to
answer to the charge of burglary. Bail
not being furnished Mr.. Trana brought the
men to the city, and they are now confined
10 th e county Jail. They gave their name.

That Decoy.

Two well-known nimrods from Dufur
spent day last week on the lakes near
Rocklsnd, WASH, hunting ducks. They
were fairly successful; but joke is told
on one of them that has notyet appeared
in print. In the center of one of the
ponds, is anchored a decoy, and the
Dufur nimrod crept within shooting dis
tance, and gave it the benefit of both
barrels of his shotgun. His companion,
knowing the nature of the target, ap-
plauded his efforts and said he was one
of the best shots in the country. This
encouraged him to shoot three or four
times more at the wooden float. Finally
his companion told him it was difficult
to make a wooden duck any nearer dead
than it was, and lead cost to much 10 be
wasted. Realizing that he had been
"sold" he left the place in disgust, and
it was two days before he would give
his companion civil answer.

A Murderer May Inherit From His viatim-
After six years litigation the su,
preme court has decided the case OF
Ransom versus Shellenbarger, in
volving the point of whether or not
a murderer can inherit property
from his victim.
Seven years ago Lee Shellenbarger
murdered his daughter in order that
he might inherit some valuable prop
erty left her by her mother. Hewas
convicted and sentenced to be
hanged, but while the case was pend
ing in the supreme court he was
lynched. Before this tragic episode
he had decided his interest in the
dead girls estate to his attorneys,
Frank Ransom and John G. Watson.
The other heirs contested the at
torneys' rights. asserting that the
law would not allow a murderer to
profit by his crime. The attorneys
contended that in this country crime
worked no corruption of blood and no
forfeiture of property and that Ne
braska's statutes contained nothing
to prevent Shellenbarger's transfer.
The trial court found for the attor-
neys. but the supreme court reversed
this holding. Since then the person
mel of this tribunal has entirely
changed, and when the case came up
the second time the court upheld
the attorneys contention.-Lincoln

Haunted by Spirits of Women Who Poi.
soned One Another.
IL the midst of the old ruins an2
palaces of Italy, stained with count
less deeds OF blood, IL remains for onf
modern structure to be knoSa p&r
sicularly as the home of ghosts. This
interesting building is described by
Marion Crawford in an article in The
Century devoted to the wonderful
italian coast between Sorrento and
Salerno.
Above Agerola, which itself is al
most directly above Prajano, on the
southern side of the peninsula, stands
an enormous palace, visible from the
sea at a great distance. 1t is known
Us the Plazzo degli Spirit (the pal
ace of the ghosts, and l once took
the trouble to climb up from Praja-
no and go all over it. 1t is entirely
deserted and has neither doors nor
windows, building almost royal in
proportions and plan, standing on
vast terrace overlooking the sea, by
no means ancient, and in some parts
decorated with frescoes and stucco
work, which are fast falling a prey
to the weather.
1t was built by parsonage known
as General Avitablle, who came to a
tragic end before he had completed
his magnificent residence and whose
heirs are, believe, still quarreling
about the division of the property,
while the building itself is allowed to
fall into ruins. 1t would be hopeless
to attempt to disentangle the tales
told about the family by the simple
hillfolk. There were women in the
case who poisoned one another and
the general and whose spirits, ven-
omous still. are believed to haunt the
vast halls and corridors and stair
cases and underground regions of the
palace.
Whether they do or not, more ap-
propriate place for hobgoblins, ban
shees, ghouls and vampires could
scarcely have been created by dis.
eased imagination in a nightmare.
Even at midday, under the southern
sun, the whole place seems as uncan-
ny as a graveyard on st. Johns eve.
Bits of staircase lead abruptly into
blank walls, passages end suddenly
in the high air, without window rail
ing or parapet. Lonely balconies lead
around dizzy corners to dismal watch
turrets whence a human voice could
hardly find its way to the halls with
in. The most undaunted explorers
of the Society For Psychical Research
might learn what ''goose flesh" means
in such place as this.
