mense fires are built on the ground,
and that softens it to such an extent
that it is easier worked in winter
, than in summer. After burning tha
ground the miner drifts down until
he strikes pay. This plan of work is
entirely new, and it has proven quite
profitable. Summer work is done by
sluicing. Some very good strikes have
been made in the drift work, as, for in--
stance, one John Miller took out last
winter between S45, 900 and S500 Of

other miners took out from $4,000 to-
$4,000 each for their winters work

comparatively nothing. simply and
solely because they were not the right

THOUGHTS.

By sound of name and touch of hand
Thro' ears that hear aid eyes that
see,
We know each other in this land
How little must that knowledge be-
Our souls are all the time alone,
No spirit can another reach;
They hide away in realms unknown,
Like waves that never touch a beach
We never know each other here,
No soul can here another see
To know we need a light as clear
As that which fills eternity.
For here we walk by human light,
But there the light Of God is ours:
Each day on earth is but a night
Heaven alone hath clear-faced hours
I call you thus-you call me thus
Our mortal is the very bar
That parts forever each of us,
AS skies on high part star from star
A name is nothing but a name
For that which else would nameless
be;N
Until our souls in rapture claim
Full knowledge in eternity.

sitting beside HIM, and said: Mr..

BESSIE TITLES MURDERER
Police Weaving Strong Web Around
Her Sweetheart.

Dayton, o., Sept. 13.-Although
Bessie Little was murdered over
week ago, there is still intense interest
here in the case, which is developed
into a murder of as much deliberatiOn
aathat of Catherine Cling of Minneap0-
lis and into almost as atrOciOus a dis
position of the body as that Of Pearl
Bryan, whose head was never found.
When it was proven that Bessie Lit
tie was last seen on the night Of
Thursday, August II, riding with her
lover, Albert Frantz, the latter said
she had shot herself while they were IN
the buggy together. There were de
fensive theories about lovers agreeing
to die together and that Fr2ntz did not
carry out his part of the contract, but
every day evidence is accommodating to
show that Frantz deliberately drove
the girl out to an obscure place along
Saltwater river, shot her and threw
her body from bridge into the river.
The next night Frantz's barn burned,
destroying bis blood-stained buggy
and other traces.
His own family testified that when
F7rantz came home on the night of the
murder he was greatly excited and fell
into a swoon. On being revived he
told them his story about Bessie shoot
ing herself while they were out riding
and added that in his fright he threw
the body over the bridge into the river
and fastened home. He has stuck to
this story since his arrest, but in doing
so he has made many admissions that
convict him. The missing link in the
Pearl Bryan case was the head. In
this case it is the revolver which Frantz
admits he threw into the river with the
body.
Chief of Police Ferrel knows where
Frantz bought revolver previous to
the murder and is doing everything 10
find the missing weapon. If it is found
and identified as the weapon that
F'rantz bought, then evidence is COM
plete. Chief Terrell has had the river
dragged. He resorted to strong mag
nets and every other means known.
Yesterday crowds lined the river banks
while Diver Graham Of Cincinnati was
going down and securing the bottom of
the river. Every disclosure intensi-
f1es the degree Of the crime. as well as
the feeling in this community.

Several times Teresa has been caught
red handed in Instructions by the
Mexicans, but heretofore they have
failed to punish her. As matter of
fact many of the ignorant Mexicans be-
lieve in her sanity powers, and it
would create fearful uproar were she
ever put to death. She has healed the
sick in much the same way that Schlat-

miraculous cures have been attributed

LAWYER HIRED BY THE DAY.
The Contract Was for One Year ant
Expired Promptly.

With the name Of Rufus Lockwood
is recalled one of the most extraordi-
nary geniuses that the state of CalifOr-
mia ever produced. IT is many years
/ now since Lockwood held sway in the
courts of San Francisco. He was in
his day perhaps the best lawyer in the
state, and it was only because of utter
indifference to pecuniary matters that
he did not leave a large fortune behind
him, says the San Francisco Bulletin.
Lockwood went at one time to nor
ace Hawkes., a very distinguished law
yer, and the author of the consolida-
ton act which is now in force. Halves
had a reputation for close figuring.
and Lockwood knew it. He said:
Mr.. Halves, I'll hire myself to you for
one year from date at a salary of $25
a day, payable every night"
"All right" said Halves. delighted to
engage the services of the brightest
mind in the state at so low a figure
for the salary was not great one in
those dayS-and the bargain was
sealed. 1t was II o'clock in the morn
ing. But from that time on. it is said
Halves never missed an opportunity of
reminding Lockwood of his bondage
He would say, in the presence of others,
Lockwood, go fetch me that book"
Lockwood do this" or that" etc.
Lockwood never said a word, but aid
as he was hidden, and enjoyed his
triumph.
Finally it came to the day when the
years engagement was terminated.
There was a most important law suit
on hand, which Lockwood had maze a
careful study of; no one in the state
could possibly have handled it as he
did. Well, on the day in question Lock-
wood stood in court, an array of law
books in front of him, and eXpounded
his views in mastery fashion. Sud
denly he looked up at the clock and
saw that it was the hour Of II. Clos
