Fresh Air children of New Type.

An interesting case is reported from
Townsbend in regard to the efforts of a
landlord to rid himself of a delinquent ten
ant contrary to the legally prescribed
course. The tenant has a wife and five
children and they are not blessed with an
abundance of earthly possessions. The
house has seen its best days, but, never
theless, it affords certain protection to
the occupants who propose TO "hang on
to it until they are obliged to relinqush
their hold. The landlord is determined
that they shall go and when, few days
ago, they refused to comply with his re-
quest to leave he removed the doors and
windows from the house, obviously with
the intention of freezing them out. The
weather has been especially balmy since
then, and the staying qualities of the
obnoxious tenants are said to be standing
the test admirably.

From the Evening Phoenix, May Iil


Miss Howard was at the Boston public
library Wednesday afternoon, some time
between , and & o'clock. While there she
wrote a note to her mother, which the lat
ter received Thursday morning. That
note may explain the reason why the girls
dead body was on the tracks at Newton
Vile. There is said to have been another
missiye found on the dead girls hat, but
its contents are known only to her father.
Miss Howard, with other members of
the senior class, was excused at noon We'd
nesday. but did not return home, She is
said to have sent note to her mother,
saying she should not come, so there was
no anxiety on the part of her parents at
that time 1t is also understood that her
parents knew she was going to the Boston
library that afternoon.
About , o'clock classmate saw her on
the train. When the train stopped at
West Newton, where Miss Howard lives,
her classmate said: "Aren't you going to
get off here" mo" replied Miss How
ard, 'I'm going to Auburndale." Later
in the afternoon she must have gone to
Boston, for she is known to have been at
the public library, for there She wrote the
note referred to.
Indications point to the fact that she
was struck by the 500 train, outward
bound, at Faneul, and that her body was
carried on the pilot of the engine. The
girls school bag and clothing were found
scattered along the two miles she was

carried. How Miss Howard came to be at
Faneuil at such an hour is mystery. The
theory is advanced that she might have had
only small amount of money and had
bought a ticket to Faneul from Boston
and then started to walk to Newton, where
she could take a street car for her home
in West Newton. This might have been
the case, but it hardly seems to the police
that young girl would have chosen a
lonely stretch Of track for such walk.

THE DEATH OF MARGERY HOW
ARD.
Further Particulars of Her Tragic Death
at West Newton, Mass.

From the Evening Phu'nix Friday, May -
Miss Howard was struck by the 500
outward bound Riverside express on the
Boston IL Albany at 500 Wednesday
night at the Faneuil station. The body
was found at Thursday morning. Miss
Howard left her home at West Newton for
the Newton High school at Newtonville
Wednesday morning in high health and
spirits. At noon she did not return to
dinner, but a note was received, in which
she stated that she was detained beyond
the usual time. Her absence during the
afternoon excited no particular comment.
but in the evening her father became
anxious and began search. The houses
of number of her friends were visited,
but no one could be found who had seen
the girl after the close of school. Finally
the Newton police were appealed to, but
their efforts were equally unsuccessful.
The engineer of the 500 train in the
meantime had telegraphed the railroad Of
fcials from Riverside that blood had been
found on the front of his engine. The
Boston police were notified, and search
along the tracks was made by the officers
of station II. They found nothing, but
communicated the facts to police head
quarters, Newton, under the impression
that the accident might have occurred on
the Newton side of the line This was at
| o'clock Thursday morning, and Capt.
Howard and Lieut.. John Ryan of the
| Newton police set out for Faneuil. Just
where the tracks begin to dip toward the
| Newton subway, west of the Faneuil sta
toe, and in Brighton, they found Miss
| Towards school bag. 1t was plain that
the girl had been struck on the outward
bound accommodation track. AT this
| point the engine should have attained a
speed of A. miles an hour, and death
must have been instantaneous.
When the searchers reached Newton
they were informed by Patrolman Haynes
that the girls clothing had been found OH
the tracks near the Newton station. At
| NewtOnviile the body was discovered lying
beside the tracks. The body was taken to
an undertakers rooms at West Newton.
1t was evident that it had been carried two
miles on the pilot of the engine without
attracting the attention of the engineer.
How Miss Howard came near Faneull is
a question which her friends are asking
without hope that it will be answered. Al
important fact which escaped the observa-
ton of the searchers in the hurry Of theil
investigations Wednesday night wa.
brought to light Thursday morning. Somt
distance from where the accident occurred
was found Miss Towards hat. On the
hat was a note, which was at once handed
to Capt. Howard. Its contents he declines
to disclose.

THE HENRY KNIGHT CASE.
More Facts About u Groundless Prose"
cution which cost $4,000.


cution which cost $4,000.
Three columns in the last issue of the
Arapahoe Bee are devoted to the trial of
Lawyer Henry knight for ale ed arson.
The story is introduced by the following
double column heading: "Ienry Knight
Acquitted Evidence of the Prosecu-
ton Fails to Cast a Suspicion of Guilt up
on Hm--The Taxpayers Robbed of about
$1,000 to Pay for Malicious Prosecution
The Case of the Prosecutors Falls Down
Without the Examination of a Single Wit
ness for the Defence"
After reiterating the statement of its be-
lief as to the character of the accused the
Bee says: "The indictments against Knight
and IIadlock were dirty, political and
spiteful scheme, carried on at an expense
of something like 5000 to the taxpayers
of the county-enough to pay the entire
expenses of the county for year-for the
purpose of beating the Republican party
at the coming election"
The court correspondent of the Bee
from FL Reno, where the trial took place,
writes as follows: George Smith, who is
a member of the city council Of this place
and who was foreman of the jury, and a
man whose integrity is beyond censure,
stated this afternoon on the street that the
case was a political scheme, and was
damnable-the worst outrage that he ever
saw or heard of in Oklahoma
Criticism is being abundantly meted out
by the people Of Canadian county to the
county attorney of Custer county, and the
grand Jury which found the indictment.
The FL Reno Globe says: "The prosecu-
ton introduced large number of wit
nesses but absolutely failed to make a case
or to show that Knight was in any way
connected with the crime. After wit
nesses for the territory had testified Col.
Forrest, the leading attorney for the pros
! ecution, in behalf Of the territory, moved
the court that the case be dismissed and
the defendant discharged. Mr.. Forrest
stated that the witnesses had not testified
as he had been led to believe that they
would and as no case had been made he
desired the judge to instruct the jury to re-
turn a verdict of not guilty. No one un-
prejudced who knew Knight believed for
moment that he was capable Of commit
ting such a crime
As the territory could not hope to con
Wet Hadlock unless Knight was convicted,
the case against him will be dismissed.
