direction over the Mukonago road and
the supposition is that he headed for
Burlington. A posse of farmers are i'll
hot pursuit, and the chances are he
will be captured before night. The
farmers residing in the vicinity of the
scene of the murder are greatly ex-
cited and enraged, and should they get
hold of the man before the officers, he
may not live to tell of the crime. They
openly vow that they will lynch the
murderer.
We're Deliberately Planned.
The supposition Of the authorities is
that the man is either insane or that
he committed the terrible deed III order
to hide evidence of another crime
The manner in which the murders
were committed showed plainly that
he had been deliberate in arranging
his plans, and had carried them out to
the letter.
Mr. Harris was one of the best
known farmers in the county, and was
quite well-to-do. He had resided on
the farm where the murder occurred
for the past II years, and had always
been on the best terms with his neigh
bors. Pouch had worked for some
time during the summer Of 1895, and
nothing occurred, so far as known, to
cause any enmity between them.
The entire detective force of the Mil
waukee police department are securing
the outskirts of the city, under the
supposition that the murderer headed
this way. He is described as about
feet in height 2Q years of age, wears
mustache, and has blue eyes. He had
on a black coat, brown pantaloons and
u light fedora hat.
The name of the hired man is Nelson
McHolt. He is 20 years of age. The
girl is Helen Nesback, aged 26
1t transpires that after shooting his
| victim, Pouch went UPSTAIRS and rob-
bed the house. This Is the only known
motive of the crime.
Latest reports from MuAT:@nago

as at first stated, and may recover.

Gallantly Stuck to His Post and Saved
Many Lives.
HOUGHTON, Mich, May S.-With a
box containing 200 pounds of dynamite
on fire, 10 feet away from him, John
Thomas, a boy who runs a compressed
air hosting engine in the Tamarack
mine, stuck to his post and saved the
lives of the men at work in mine by
his wonderful bravery. Ten seconds
after Thomas had hoisted the men to the
level, the dynamite exploded, smashing
the engine to pieces and doing other
damage, but the men and the boy, to
whom they owe their lives, were in a
place of safety. The miners working
in the twenty-third level had put seven
cases Of dynamite in box for future
use At noon, miner, accompanied
by Thomas, went to the box and found
it on fire. Thomas went to his post,
gave the alarm to the miners in the
level below, and ran his engine until
he had hoisted them out. He then fled.
The alarm of fire caused great excite
ment, but no miners were injured in
the rush to reach daylight from depth
of from 5000 to 1900 feet

MILWAUKEE, May S.-A double. and
what may yet prove quadruple mur.
der, occurred at the farm house of
Alexander Harris, who resided
about five miles south of Wau-
kesha, at an early hour III the morn
ing, the victims being Mr.. Harris, his
wife, his hired girl and hired man.
The crime was committed, it Is sup
posed, by farm hand named William
Pouch, who had been sheltered by the
farmer over night.
Early in the evening William Pouch,
a farm hand who had worked for Mr..
Harris about two years ago, called at
the house and requested lodging over
night. He was taken in, given supper
and assigned room.
About 5 o'clock Mr. Harris and the
hired man arose and went to the yard
to milk the cows, Mrs Harris and the
hired girl remaining to prepare break
fast for the family. Pouch left his
room quietly, and going to the yard
where the men We're milking the cows,
babe them good morning. Harris and
the hired man were sitting Oh stools
near each other, and before they were
aware of any evil doing, Pouch drew
a revolver and fired at the farmer,
killing him almost instantly. The
murderer then turned the weapon on
the hired man and shot him in the
body ,inflicting probably fatal wound.
The man fell motionless on the ground
and Pouch evidently supposed him
dead also. The terrible sight did not
unnerve the demon, for he left his
victims where they fell and walked
leisurely to the kitchen ofthe farm
house. There he met Mrs Harris and
with them for few minutes. He said
Mr. Harris would not be in for few
minutes, and that he would partake
of his breakfast at once. The women
waited upon the murderer, who seemed
to relish the meal.

MARTINSVILLE, VA, July 1S.-CSpe-
cial)-The second trial Of Wade W.
Lester for the murder Of young j. W.
Davis in this county in February, 1915
began in the County Court this morning
The indictment on which Lester was
first tried had been nolle pressed, ana
a new one returned. general dernur-
rer was entered by the defence, ana
It was overruled Their special pleas
were fled one of which was that the
accused was entitled TO a discharge, on
the grounds that to try him on new
indictment was to put him twice In
jeopardy. The prosecution demurred,
and a fine argument was had on tho
question raised. The Court rejected the
pleas, and proceeded to impanel the
Jury. The jury was made up early in
tho afternoon. and several witnesses put
on the stand. DR.. W. II. Taylor, the
State Chemist, who made the analysis
of Davis's stomach and found strych-
nine. was examined and cross-examinet
for several hours. His testimony was
technical. but his acute and versatile
mind made the processes of analysis
lucid and popular enough for the jury,
and highly instructive TO the large audi
ence. DIR. Taylor was certain Of the pre-
sence Of strychnine.
