and beside a big slough, she was bru-
tally murdered. She was pounded over
the head with maple club, which lay
broken III pieces by her side. stabbed %
number of times in both back and
breast, probably by an ordinary knife
and her throat was cut from ear to ear
with the same weapon. But a very
few minutes after she was known to
have left Hills house Russie heard her
screams and FASTENED to her assist
ance, but before he reached her death
came.
Mrs. Bennett was suspected of the
crime and arrested q few days after it
was committed.

Nevnda,s Flaming Tree.

Every one has heard of luminous
plants and shrubs, but comparatively
few people are aware of the existence
in our state Of a luminous tree of large
proportions. The Indians have always
entertained wholesome dread of this
tree and have number OF legends con.
nected with it, some of which are
clearly founded on the biblical story OF
Moses and the burning bush. AS a
result Of their superstition the tree has
come to be known as the witch tree"
and is quite a source of interest among
people for miles around. 1t is a valua-
BILE landmark at night, as It can be seen
half a mile away and the phosphores.
cent substance which exudes from it is
so powerful that It is possible to read q
few words of print held close to it.,
Several botanists have made journeys
to inspect and report on the tree, but ]
have never seen really intelligent ex.
glanation of the phenomenon. Ontario
