Trial Has Been Terminated.

alleged discovery OF the supposed dead man. Ed.

man whom Novak was being tried for killing Is
alive and in Seattle.
The local authorities have been notified that
Charles Wood, recently Of vinton, Ia, walked
into the Seattle police station and said that he
had met and talked with Murray. Wood
said there could be no mistake about 1t; that he
not only saw Murray. but met and shook
hands and talked with him in q saloon.
They had talked only q few minutes together,
when Murray stepped to the door as II to call n
friend, went out, and failed to return. Though
Wood searched all over town, he could fnd no
trace OF the mar again.
Wood is a man OF high standing. and his word
is believed. The Novak case would nave been
submitted, to the jury Tomorrow. II will now

arises, Whom did the prisoner murder. II any

WACO. Tex. Nov. 2l.-Funeral services were
held to-day over the remains of W. A. and J. w.
Harris. the newspaper men who were killed on
Friday In a street fight with Col. Gerald. A
great concourse Of mourners attended.
The Rev. Harvey Carroll, who preached the
funeral GRAFTON, created a sensation by denouno-
ing in unbridled language the cause Of the
tragedy. He referred to tho bad blood which
has been engendered by W. Q. Brann's Lcono-
cldst, and its assaults on Baylor University.
Continuing the narrative to the incidents
Of Friday. he declared that the Harris
brothers had died at their posts in the discharge
Of their duties. The card which they had re-
fused to publish for Col Gerald. the preacher
said, was slanderous. He asserted that 30 long
as the Iconocidst 10 permitted TO continue its
anarchistic course, Just SO long will 1t be respon-
sible for disasters and the wrinRinR OF hearts.
Col. Gerald's left arm was amputated yester-
DAY. and IL is feared that the wound he received
in the side may cause blood poisoning. The
day had its origin about two years aRo. when an
Oriental girl. brought to Baylor University to
be educated as o Christian. became a mother.
She accused the son of one of the chief function
aries OF tho university. There were cross
charges of abandonment.
Editor Brann espoused the young wornan's
ca SC and heaped the bitterest invectives on tho
University faculty. Since then he has repeatedly
charged that female students at the university
have been forced to return home to conceal dis
grace. Brann has been mobbed twice by friends
Of the university In the last six weeks.

Of religion has been In progress at the Methodist
Church. The Rev. Horace Payne Of the Mis-
souri, Conference has been conducting the meet
ings, and he has worked up such great interest
that all tho ministers Of the county agreed to
assist at the services last night The big meet
ing was thoroughly advertised. The subject
announced b. the Rev. Mr.. Payne was: "Tho
ain Of greed and tho certain damnation Of him
who appropriates that which 10 another's."
The large meeting house 10 in a grove near the
edge Of town. Seven preachers were present.
and the farmers from all over the county at
tended. They hitched many emo teams to the
trees around tho church. The ministers spoke
sloquently, and, strangely enough. all Of them
referred TO horse stealing and the evils Of horse
trading as practicod by many sharpers a.
among tho worst evils OF the Vest.
After the meeting was over It was discovered
that q raid had been made on the fine horses
hitched around the church. Sixteen Of the
most valuable horses In tho county were stolen,
together with two ine buggies. Tho raid was
evidently arranged in advance and partici-
pated In by several skilful horse thieves. No
trace of the gang has been found. though = num-
Der OF armed posses have been beating the
ravines along the river to the north. The
ground was frozen and no trace OF the trail OF the
stolen stock was left. A gang Of horse thieves
have operated in this territory for some time
and the work Is attributed to them.

able TO release herself. She cried to Mr.. Back
