A TRAGIC ADVENTURE.
The Thrilling Sequel 20 the Hanging OF
Condemned Murderer.

Tho Thrilling Sequel 10 the Hanging OF |.
Condemned Murderer.
Everybody remembers when the
great Texas murderer Dick Masters,
was hanged - said t. NJ. Gary Of Waco.
"but the strange death Of Sheriff Win
tiers. who sprung the trap, has been kept
out Of the papers. After Masters body
was cut down, the county physician pro-
nouncing the murderer dead, the sheriff
ordered four deputies 10 carry the body
TO his private laboratory, where he
used to pursue his medical expert
ments alone. He was bound to dissect
the powerful, we'll developed body Of
Masters, so no shut himself up with tho
corpse and went TO work.
The sheriff moved about briskly,
pnking great clatter with his instru-
nonts Several times he went to the
windows and peered out, but the neigh
borhood was deserted. He soon discov-
cred that the drop on the scaffold had
not broken Masters neck, and the sher-
iff Thought that was fortunate, as he al
ways had experimental ON the restora-
tion Of lifo whenever opportunity afford
ed. He laid down his Instruments and
began to try and restore life. The even
ing shadows driftcd into night. 1t was
noisy town and tho shouts and laugh
ter of jewellers could be heard every
where. Several times the crowds pass
ing the shoriif's room thought they
heard the sounds Of scufiling, and more
than once muffled shout was heard.
But the pleasure seekers ON the streets
passed along without giving a thought
to this.
On the following day Sheriff Winters
failed to appear at his Office Nobody
had seen him since he locked himself il
the laboratory with Masters body.
Finally the mayor Of the town and sew
eral deputy sheriifs went to the labora
tory, but rapping at the door nor shouts
would bring any answer. Then they
broke open the door. The sight before
them nearly turned their hair gray
Tho room was total wreck. The furni
ture was strewn about the room
smashed to pieces, and everything bor'
evidence Of a terrible struggle. Sheriff
Winters lay on the floor, dead, and tn
marks about his throat showed that h
had been strangled. A few feet ava.
lay the dead body of the murderer, Mas
ters. The faces and the garments of boil
men bore evidence of a hard fight. Tn
only conclusion that could be arrived a
was that Masters had revived, and OF
regaining consciousness and strength b
attacked the sheriff and succeeded il
killing him before he died himself. Al
this happened in the Jail Of Rio Grand

A Queer Story About the Way In which
"Leonanie" Was Written.
In the house of a gentleman in this
city we recently saw poem written on
The fly leaf of an old book Noticing
the initials "E. A. p. at the bottom,
1t struck us that possibly we had run
ssfsss a bonanza.
The owner of the book said that he
did not know who was the author of the
poem. His grandfather, who gave him
tho book. kept an inn in Chesterfield,
near Richmond One night a young
man raped at the door and asked if he
could stay all night and was shown to
a room.
That was the last we saw of him.
When they went next morning to call
him to breakfast, he had gone, but had
left the book, on the fly leaf of which
he had written these verses:
LEoNANIE.
Leonaniel Angels named her,
And they took the light
OF the laughing stars and framed her
In II suit OF white,
And they made her hair Of gloomy
Midnight and her eyes of glowing
Moonshine, and they brought her to me
In the silent night
In : solemn night Of summer
When my heart OF gloom
Blossomcd up 10 greet the conner,
Like rose In bloom,
All forobodings that distressed me
forgot as Joy caressed me.
Lying Joy that caught and pressed me
In the arms of doom.
Only spalSo the little lisper
In the angels tongue,
Yet, listening. heard her whisper:
"6ongs are only sun
Hero below that they may grieve you.
Tales are told you to deceive you.
SO must Leonanie leave you
while her love Is young"
Then God smiled, and It was morning.
Alatchless and supreme.
Heavens glory seemed adjoining
Earth with its esteem.
Every heart but mine seemed gifted
with the voice of prayer and lifted
Whore my Leonanie drifted
From me like "a dream.

IL was down in the books and what could

half a gallon of booze in The Stowaway,

where l was supplied with cinnamon

expected to swallow the whole Of 1t, and
even then act drunk, when the effect was
enough to sober three blocks Of the Bow

mock booze to be drunk, and now can't
