When Tichenor learned what the property was
intended for. he said TO Schlegel: You ID

Il didn't think anything about it. I'm only

John J. Farrell, reporter was then called. He
had investigated the purchase and had inter
viewed the persons concerned. 1t was matter
of common rumor, he said that there was some
thing wrong about the purchase He said that
DR.. Lehlbach informed him that Schlegel had
stated that he had friend who wanted to sell

witness that he could not remember the purchase

Stevens would say that $4,000 and great

said Farrell was that the city ordered the
money paid to Tichenor before he actually owned
the property. Mrs. Crow didn't seem to know
anything about the meadow-land part Of the
transaction"
John NJ Burnett came next. He was expected
10 be the star witness. He started out by denying
that he had given information in this matter

Pull your leg when / lift!" Tom
shouted, and then he stopped down and
got hold of the edge of the wheel.
He Strengthened his back, bent his
knees and gripped the wheel tight;
then with great effort he flung back
his head and Strengthened his knees
Up came the cart, wheel, frame and all.
Pull your leg out!' Tom shouted
again. The man started, tried to sit
up, pulled his leg little way out,
gave up and rolled over on his face
with his head directly under the wheel.
1t was too much. Tom thought he
would rather have died than see such
a thing happen. He could not hold up
such load for more than a few mo-
ments, and it would kill the man when
it fell. No one was in sight He could
not move, not n muscle, or he would
have to let go. Oh, if he had only let
the fellow lie there and brought help.
Get out of there! Rouse up!' he
cried; and then, as the man did not
move: Help! help!" he yelled. There's
a man dying! Help!'
There was only one house near
enough TO send him aid in time, and
he directed his cries at that. There
were lights in the windows, but no
one seemed to stir to help him. At last
the strain became SO great that he
could shout no longer. He clenched
his teeth and resigned himself to de-
spair.
A door slammed. He looked up at
the house and saw girl running down
the steps Could he hold out till she
got TO him? III make a good bluff at
it, anyway" thought Tom, grimly,
and he held on. He had not strength
enough even to hurry up his rescuer.
The girl, who was we'll built, strong
and ruddy, reached his side quickly.
what are you wanting, sorr?" she
said
Tom was gasping. Great drops of
sweat ran down his face. His feet
staggered about from place to place.
