Jears He Is . man OF fair education and
pleasing address. and when two years ago he
responded to an advertisement for farm
hand, inserted By Mr.. Schillins. sr.. he was
accepted and went to work. Mr. schn-
ling made up his mind that he had
secured model hand until he discovered one
day that the man was paying attentions to his
daughter. lie ordered him never to speak to
the girl again. and as the man promised to obey
he thought no more Of the matter at the time.

hoe Schneilbacs bore very bad reputation.

with him. Whether he was eoaded into his
act by the contempt no seemed to inspire
wherever he went. or whether his motive was
robbery. as the people In the vicinity are In
olin cd to believe. 10 a mystery. II robbery was

away from the house as empty handed as he
