widencd, while the deputy sheriff and
Gabe stood on the alert with drawn
revolyers, at last the officer reached
down and grasped the form by the
shoulder, saying at the same time:
"I arrest you in the name Of the
commonwealth Of Virginia for highway
robbery
There was no response. With a
vigorous jerk he turned the form over
and then jumped back aghast. The
bearded face that confronted him was
that Of the dead. Gabe's bullet had
done it's work. The robber had been
shot through the back. In raising the
body from the log the whiskers were
discovered to be false, and when the
officer removed them Gabe Jimison
exclaimed, "Holy smoke, it's Nell
PRESCOTT Boys, I'm Aabbergasted. J"
Some Of his companions also recog-
nized the pretty face, and despite the
fact that the form was clad in male
attire declared it to be old Job Pres
colts daughter. 1t was mercifully
decided not to inform the Prescott
family of the death of Nellie, and so,
after viewing the body, the coroner
ordered it inferred on the mountain
side near Oak Grove. After the burial,
there were no more robberies in that
part of Virginia.-Cor. st. Louis

Haunted by Chickens.

"Imagine being haunted your whole
life through by Chickens said the
travelling man, setting down his glass,
"and by chicken pie, at that. Of
having it thrust before you by an un-
alterable decree, day,in and day out,
year after year, until mournful troops
of murdered feathered birds pass in
ghostly review before your eyes in
sleep, and hobgoblin chicken pies per-
form weird nocturnal Lances on your
abdomen. Talk about eating quail
every day for steady diet. I tell
you these are gastronomic luxuries
compared to chicken pie every day.
Yet there was man down at Smith
vile, Ca, who was mean enough to
take this diabolical revenge on his
widow. He kept the railroad eating
house there, and when he died he left
it to his widow, with the condition IN
his will of-chicken pie ! She was to
have chicken pie at least once day,
or not to have the hotel. And she,
poor woman, having no other means
of livelihood, still struggles along,
conscicntiously confronting chicken
pie every day. Her only consolation
is that the guests Of the house have
to stand chicken pie. No one knows
what actuated the man to put chicken
pie into his will-but how he must
have hated that woman "-New York
Times.

The bag is filed as an exhibit in the
case of Edgar Bell VS.. commonwealth,

negro, claims that he was "hoodooed"
by this bag to kill a man, and he hopes
to convince the judges that his claims
deserve consideration.
"A large estate is involved in
singular question raised in suit now
on trial at Riverside, Iowa. Last
summer father and son named Hayes
were drowned while bathing together,
going down in each Others arms. The
question is, which died first? If the
father, then the widow is entitled to
the entire estate; If the son, as he
was an only child, the widow can have
only half the estate, and the rest goes
to the other heirs-the brother and
sister of the husband. Here is chance
for some spiritual medium to ring up
the other world, and ask father and SON
who got there first.

Lille Snow, the 16-year-old
daughter Of Councilman Snow, Of Gin
cinnati, met with peculiar accident
at her home. The young lady was
standing in front of a dresser and had
lamp standing on it. On her reach
ing over the lamp the heat from the
chimney set fire to celluloid comb
which was in her hair. In an instant
bright fame shot up, the young lady
began to scream for assistance. Her
father was in an adjoining room, and
upon hearing the screams ran to her
assistance. He succeeded in smoth-
ering the blaze with his hands, and in
so doing received severe burns. The
young lady had most Of her hair burn
ed off, but fortunately the flames did
not mar her face.

An Attempted Assassination

| DARLINGTON, S. c., Jan. 23.-For
some time detective named jenkins
has been operating in the Hartsville
section in the interest of the dispen-
sary,. and he has made several arrests
for alleged selling of whiskey. He
was in Darlington on yesterday for the
purpose Of bringing persons accused
before the officers of the law. Last
night after getting home he was shot.
He had gone to bed, but some one
went in the room for the purpose Of
speaking to him. When he awoke he
struck match, and he was instantly
fired upon by some one who was stand
ing outside Of the window. The ball
was slightly turned by going through
the glass and inflicted only flesh
wound in the neck. This jenkins,
who has good many other names, has
been in that n.ighborhood for some
time past as tombstone vender, and
has samples Of his wares with him.
He requited the hospitality Of the
people by playing the spy upon them.
There have been no arrests as yet.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
DARLINGTON, S. c., Jan. 23.-News
reached Darlington this morning Of
the shooting Of one Of the State con-
stables at Hartsville, whereupon the
States correspondent repaired to the
scene Of the crime and obtained an
interview with Constable G. L. Jen-
kins. Mr.. jenkins is in the service
of the United States, is member Of
the Pinion Detective Agency, and is
employed by the Governor of this
State as private detective to aid in
breaking up the illicit sale Of liquor
in section of this county known as
"Kellytown." He has been boarding
in that section ever since the first of
last December, and evidently had the
confidence of the parties guilty Of
violating the liquor law, for he had
worked up forty-eight cases against
different parties, and was fixing to
leave Hartsville and his "Kellytown"
com panions when the shooting took
place in the Wylie Bell Hotel in
Hartsville last evening at o'clock
Constable jenkins had retired, and
hewitt Kelly came to his room and
insisted on jenkins getting out Of bed.
jenkins sat up in bed, and by chance
was rubbing his head when he was
shot through the window by an un-
known party, the ball striking the
third and second fingers of his right
hand, glancing and striking the mas
told bone on the right side Of the
head, and then extending downward
about an inch. The shooting was done
with 38-caliber pistol.
jenkins is a native Of Ewart, N. c.,
is 33 years old, and has been in the
detective service sixteen years. The
wound is not very dangerous, and
jenkins is feeling much better than
on last evening. He was only about
two feet from the pistol, and had it
! not been for the window glass and his
hand, the results would have been ia
tai. The neighborhood in which Jen-
kins had been working up the illicit
sale of liquor is thickly populated
with Reformers, and the principal
parties are reputed to be strong Till

but no arrests made SO far.-Special
