DRAPER FOUND GUILTY.
Jacksonville UlIJ Murderer Gets on
with q Life Sentence

Jacksonville UlI) Murderer Gets ON
with Life Sentence.
Jacksonville, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-The Jury
in the case of Charles I'll. Draper, on
trial for the murder of Charles L. Hast
ngs, brought in verdict Friday, find
ing him guilty. He was given a life
sentence.
The verdict meets with very gen
eral approval, as the murder was a
horrible affair. The defendant had
previously borne an excellent reputa-
ton and has a fine family and that
served somewhat to mitigate the feel
ing against him. A motion for a new
trial was at once made.
Draper murdered Charles L. Hastings
March 81 of last year. The two men had
been employed by Judge Kirby, the alb
stract man, OF Jacksonville. Draper lost
his position and soon after started in the
abstract business for himself. 1t was sup
posed that he had at different times stolen
records from Judge Kirby's office, and a
watch was set to catch him. The night of
March 81 Draper was caught by Hastings
in the act Of stealing some Of the abstract
records, and the two fought with knives.
The latter was killed. When found next
morning Hastings had 172 cuts on his body.
Draper was arrested and Is said to have
made confession to minister, but this
was later denied. When the case came up
for trial Diapers attorneys put forth the
plea Of insanity.J

Sc Thick That 1t Trapped Even y
Hungry Oosn.
The Little Rock Democrat 10 the au-
thority for the kind of corn lands they
have in that particularly blessed region.
1t says: Eight or ten years or so ago
there was lake near Morrilton cover
ing about 10000 acres. When the big
floods came two years ago, an opening
was made by the surging waters which
carried off all the water Of this lake
when the floods subsidized. The bed of
the lake dried up and left the richest
soil the world ever saw. 1t Ia ten feet
deep, and nothing the River Nile ever
produced could excelit. This year Mills
G. Haley have crop of corn on about
1000 acres of this land. They sowed
the corn broadcast like wheat, and the
stalks are as strong as saplings, and
scores Of Shoots" are also loaded down.
ut is the, most remarkable corn crop
ever produced in the world" declared
Prof. Cox, and, to make the story even
more interesting, he ended 1t by de-
claring that ''coon" was caught be-
tween the stalks, and, being unable to
extricate itself because they were SO
thick, was killed by those who came

Tho Touching Lesson Of Very Chari-
table Life.
The story of George Francis Train
sitting in the park surrounded by birds
and children is familiar one. It IL
not 30 generally known that North st.
Louis was the home of child and bird
lover who died some years ago, says tho
st. Louis Republic.
1T was this gentle old mans custom
to leave home every morning directly
after breakfast with his pockets full Of
bread crumbs and rock candy. He
would go to one Of the parks near his
home and sit down on one of the bench
es there. No matter how cold 1t was
he never forgot those bread crumbs.
AT sight of him the birds would fly
toward him. There were not SO many
spsrrows then as now, but sometimes
hundreds Of them would futter about
him. He has often been seen sitting
there quietly with the little birds
perched on his hat and shoulders.
When the birds had collected he
would bring out his store Of bread
crumbs, and then there would be afeast.
The rock candy he kept for children
and poor people. He was always gener-
GUS with 1t. He would say that 1t was
pure and would help the poor wretches
to keep warm.
It is told Of him that he once paid a
debt OF $3.50 for an old friend. The
creditor was told to say to inquirers
that the bill was paid by zone who loved
him" When they asked the old man
about 1t he smiled, but did not acknowl-
edge that he had paid it.. He merely
said:
