emnly through the quiet streets. past the places the dead had known, over the leaf-strewn roads to the Odd Eel lows Cemetery. The funeral closed all places of business, the schools were shut for the day. and not even a sa- loon was open from neon until the min- ister had said the last word
 But there was another agonizing pie ture, which was a part of the dread full mystery, that now becomes the we'll proved crime of Frank Belew. It was the picture of the sole survivor of the household writhing in pain, hover ing near death.
 On humble cot in the livery stable that was owned by the murdered man lay Bruno Klein, the faithful hired man. who ate at the Belew home, who drankof the waters of death at the Belew we'll. He was the sole survivor of all who dwelt happily in the house of desola- tion. Just as the bodies of the dead were being returned to elemental dust a rumor spread throughout the city that Klein was dying. Then there was great excitement, and it would not have required much evidence to cause the lynching of Frank Belew
 So it has come at last that the cloud that caused a pail over the sunshine and the flowers and marred the golden beauty of a halcyon November day in Dixon is no longer a vague mystery. but a reality that has materialized into as dark and terrible a murder as was ] ever woven into the warp and wool of crime in the whole of America
 The skill with which the criminal at I first covered his tracks has been over come by the acumen of those who have been relentless in pursuit. The man
 whose mind was fatally bent on mis- chief has been trapped by his own words Crime has left it's shadow. it's l footprints, it's blighting evidence so boldly written that the world may read Beneath the sunshine and the stars the detectives have worked with
 unabating zeal, spurred by sense of
 duty and sustained and directed in

BE Possible-ReCruiting Officers
Coming Here from the

r. is possible. but not probable that the
Second Regiment will be kept in service.
There is. it seems, some hitch in mus
tering out this organization
Before Major Price left mere a. few days
ago on a tour OF the company stations
he teleeraphed to Washington for per-
mission for the captains TO come TO Rich
mond and check up their property. This
permission has not as yet been granted
for some unknown reason.
Major Price is slill absent. lie l. not
expected back before wednesday. Many
of Inc captains have completed their
company rolls and sent them in. The
work was well done.
MAYBE ONE MORE GLANCE.
Secretary Alear Is known 90 have oX-
pressed ou more than one occasion a wish
10 keep this regiment tn service. me
number of men who volunteered was
only seventy short of the minimum. il
is thought the War Department may be
awaiting DEVELOPMENTS I'm the Fourth and
sixth Rceimcuts before mastering out
the Second. So many men in the Fourth
are applying for their discharges It may
turn ont that the Second can furnish
more volunteers for cuba. The Governor
received to-day number Of letters from
members of the Fourth asking him 20
secure their discharges. III this thing
keeps up "a few days longer there will DE
few left I'm the Fourth who wish 20 50
10 Cuba.
TROUBLE ~ THE SIXTH.
The Sixth Regiment is giving trouble
and the Governor is going 20 find 10 no
easy task TO bring about harmony in
its ranks It may De that he win advise
end insist that this organization be mus
tered out The Governor is by no means
pleased with the situation lie has not
decided what course he viii pursue and
will not do so until De lear s officially
from colonel CrOXton why IT was that
the appointment OF white officers was
recommended and in 50 short a time they
were advised 90 resign.
