The saarman Murder.

There is but little doubt now that
the authorities of Douglas have Sc
cured the right man in connection
with the Saarman murder.
There are two suspected parties un.
der arrest. One wears brogans and
the other pointed shoes. The latter
is the one identified by Kinney as the
man who was in jail here. His shoe
fits the track of man who took a
round about way Of leaving the house
avoiding soft ground that his tracks
might not be identified. Whoever
made those tracks had direct motive
IN hurrying away and there was a
guilty method in his round about
movements to avoid soft ground.
He was seen in front Of the house at
2o'clock and the killing was done be-
tween noon and 4 o'clock.
The people are sitting the evidence
thoroughly and do not propose to do
anything hasty in the matter. There
were but two people near the Aouse
that day, the prisoner and the hus
band of the deceased. The fact that
the husband said he discovered the
murder at and did not report it until
8 o'clock to place only three miles
away, is cited as peculiar, but this is
met by the fact that the couple lived
anicably together, did not quarrel
and tho husband was too much OK
cited at the CHASTITY discovery, to know
what way to turn.
Theirs has ALEC been discovered evil
dence of struggle on the floor, and
a brass safety pin used b pin flannel
cloths about the throat of deceased,
was found in the wood shed with some
drops OF blood, Tho authorities are
also in quest OF another tramp seen
near Bridgeport.
Last evening the report reached
this city that the third man he'd been
arrested by Sheriff McC bftnack at
Bridgeport. McCorma ok was ex
pected to arrive at Genoa Inst even

life to the west by doing the silver in
dustry justice.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

Only q star! q shining star!
More glorious than our planets are,
But watched by wistful eyes and brignt.
And longing hearts. that wondrous night
Only q manager. shadow-thronged.
Tint to some public inn belonged.
Where et-breathed cattle quietly
For midnight slumber bent the knee.
Only the light of tapers small
That on two tender faces fall,
Two tender faces-one divine
That still through all the centuries shine
From palace walls, from thrones Of gold.
From churches. shrines. cathedrals old,
Where the grand masters Of their art
Wrought faithfully with hand and heart.
Only O babe! in whose small hand
IL seen no scepIre of command,
But at whose name, with freedoms sword.
Move the great armies Of the Lord.
Only a cross! but oh. what light
Shines from Gods throne on Calvary's
height!
His birth. His lifc. the angels sec.
Written on every Christmas tree.
