MURDERER NOVAk.



BELLE PLANE, Ia, Sept. 6.-An extra
force of guards has been stationed
around the county Jail in Vinton to
guard against a suspected attempt to
remove Frank Nova1 and lynch him.
Sheriff Metcalf telephoned T. A.
Smith, of Belle Plaine, president of the
board of supervisors that ugly rumors
were ahoat, and asking for authority
to increase the force of guards Presi-
dent smith ordered him to employ such
a force as would preserve peace, pro-
tect the prisoner and uphold the
law. Smith said further, that
the killing of Murray and the
cremation Of the body had
created bad feeling among the
people in the east end of Benton and
the west end of Linn county, where
Young Murray was we'll known, and
that Hoyak's arrest in the Klondike
gold fields and his return to Benton
county had reintlamed the people, and
he feared that some of the more pas
sionate friends of Murray might try to
take the law into their own hands.

Walked After His Head Was on.

DR.. Loye, the French physician, who
has greatly interested himself in the
question, What passes in the head of
a decapitated human being?' relates the
following remarkable story, which he
says was taken from the archives of the
Vienna courts: 1t was in the year -
that Schoenenburg,a well known bandit,
and four of his associates were caught
and condemned to death. They were
already on their knees ready to pay the
penalty of their bloody deeds by sub
mittiSg to the awful fate of decapita-
ton when SchoenenburR addressed the
judge, asking that his four companions
might be pardoned on certain condi-
tions. IF, . asked the bandit, latter
first of my comrades, will you pardon
him?" The judge thought that he was
pretty safe in complying with the re-
quest. "Then,' continued Schooner
burg, "if l walk to the second, the
third and the fourth, will you pardon
them also?' The judge replied that if
such "A miraculous feat could be per
formed he would obtain pardon for the
other three also. The bandit was now
satisfied, and, bending his head. he re-
ceived the fatal blow. Instantly the
head rolled down in the sand, but to
the surprise and horror of all present
the headless trunk arose and walked
alone. Aimlessly, it appeared, the body
walked around until it passed the first,
the second, the third and the fourth
condemned bandit, when it fell down
and became motionless. Query, How

When they began operations, Maher's
advantage in height and reach was
very marked
Sharkey's style Of leaving himself open
when stepping away caused good deal
of comment, and it was easily seen that
Maher was In no hurry TO mix matters
as he evidently preferred TO size his man
up, and he looked as II he were holding
back for good opening.
Maher wore an anxious look from the
very beginning of the bout and his eyes
had a very wild and hunted expression
In them.
The boxing was very tame for Ave
rounds, neither man showing a MARI.
