at not finding it, for, rs you know, my
name is engraved on the stock. My inn

picture all kinds of trouble. What if
some one should find the weapon and

CHAPTER vi.
MYSTERIOUS NOISES.

In pursuance of the directions left by
Mr.. Barnes and communicated to him
by Burrows, Squire Olney impaneled a
jury, taking them to the Lewis farm
and allowing them to examine the
corpse, where it lay in the position as
when discovered. He then adjourned
the inquest until the return of the alb.
sent detective. Meanwhile he ordered
DIR. Snow, a competent surgeon, to
make an autopsy, placing the corpse in
an upper room and in charge of the
physician.
The jurymen and assembled neigh
bors dispersed slowly, as though loath
to leave the vicinity. Burrows mixed
with them, hoping to extract some clew
by conversation which might prove of
value to him. In this he failed entire
ly. The greater number apparently sus-
pected that Walter Marvel was impli-
Gated, and as he was general favorite
they feared to speak with the detective
lest they should compromise their
friend.
One man, however, voluntarily ap-
preached him and said
"They tell me as how you're the de-
tective.
"You are quite right, {" said Burrows
hopefully.
"My names Skene, said the other,
"Josiah Skene, station agent down to
Lee Deepo'. hearn bout this here in
quest, an tho't I'd run up an see how
you re gittin ON. Anybody 'rested?"
"Well, hardly" answered Burrows,
with a smile. 1--WE have only been at
work few hours, You know, "
"Well, that only goes to show. al

Borston papers wuz kinder farfetched.
They make outs though you detective

folks l guess l could put you up to
snuff in this case anyway. Mr.. Skene
took his long chin whiskcr in his left
hand, stroked it once and then turned it
up so that he readily bit the end, the
while looking at Burrows through the
corner of his eyes, his head turned part
ly away, as though he were contemplat-
ing something on the distant horizon.

spoke with little anxiety. He recog-
nized that the man was an eccentric
and feared to do or say something that
would antagonize him. After long
pause came the reply:
"Mebbe." Only this one word, NUT
tered without removal of the whisker
from his mouth. Burrows waited for
more, but was forced to continue the
conversation himself.

whether he would really keep the story
to himself. He doubted it; but, as much

Last Monday afternoon the fire
bell rang an alarm, and small FIRE
was found to be burning in the roof
of G. P. Randall's barn. The en-
CINE and hose cart were on hand
quickly, but a few buckets of water
put the blaze out before stream
from the hose was turned on. The
fire caught from FIRE crackers being
thrown on the roof.
Wednesday morning a fire was
discovered alongside the railroad
track coming from the Douglass
mill. 1t caught from sparks from
the little engine which is hauling
tailings, and was put out by the
mill hands before any damage was
done.
Wednesday afternoon an alarm
was sounded and the engine called
out by small blaze in manure
pile behind the residence of Joe
Moore. This fire was also put out
by bucket brigade before stream
from the engine was turned on, and
no damage, to speak of, was done.
There have been several fires
started of late along the line of the
Douglass road, and they have all
caught from sparks from the little
engine. After the last fire Wednes-
day, Mr.. Peck had the engine haul
ed off of the road and spark ar
roster put on the smokestack, so
that in the future there will not be
much danger of fires from this
source.

Quite number of Silverites made
arrangements to go to Reno to see
Bryan last week, but when they
found the train was late they post
poned the trip. and proposed to
celebrate at home. When the crowd
began to count up they found that
one of the number was missing and
they Immediately organized a
searching party to look for the miss
ing man and bottle. He was found
up near Red Rock Springs on his
way to Reno. They brought him
home decorated with elderberry
blossoms and none the worse for his
heroic efforts to get to see the next
President.

by local application. as they cannot reach the
diseased porti IN of the ear. There is only one
way to cure Deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflam-
ed you have rumbling sound or Imperfect
hearing. aud when 1t is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result. and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
Its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an infamed con.
dition of the mucous surfaces.
