bell does not share this theory. He does
not believe that Barnard. il found. will be

theory that somebody was paid to put
clothing where II was found and that

Santa Fe station. He believes the miss

sum of money belonging to the Decatur
firm when they left Sherman on Sunday
last. These young assistants have not
shown up in Dallas at any time as far
as can be learned.
Sheriff CabeIl has two men in custody

ish steamship Alexandria went up TO the
shipyard Saturday evening and tied up
at one Of the piers. She is taking on parts
of the ten engines built for Sweden by
the Richmond Locomotive Works. Ar
rangements were made with the shipyard
for the use of one of the big dock cranes.
and the work of unloading the parts from
the cars and putting them aboard the ship
which is to carry them across the water
was commenced yesterday.
The Chesapeake and Ohio yesterday sent
in six carloads of machinery Today ten
more cars will be shifted. There are
thirty-two carloads, and they will be tow
ed as rapidly as possible. Owing to the
size Of some of the boxes the work of loas-
ing is necessarily slow. Some of them
weigh sixteen tons. No advices about the
other ten engines which are to be shipped
to Copenhagen and there sent into Sweden
have been received. but 1t is stated authori-
tatively that they will arrive here from
Richmond before the Alexandria finishes

ure Of the negro. William Morrison. the
alleged assailant of aged Margaret Roberts

suspicion of having committed a similar
attack Sunday Afternoon upon Mabel Nc
Quillian. thirteen years old, Of Stratford.
This latest crime. coming. as 1t did. a
few hours after the negro's capture. stirred
the old town as it had not been stirred
since the sensational and unfathomed mur-
der of Rose Clark Amber more than sew

free herself. but the man picked her up
and carried her some distance.
Alarmed lest her cries should bring help
the man ran of through the woods. The
two younger children had run home and
told their father. who. snatching his re-
volver. set out on a run for the spot where
his child was attacked.
When he reached there he found her
semi-conscious. Taking her in his arms,
he ran home with her.
On the way he met his two brothers,
who were armed, and. with friends. were
in pursuit of the assailant. They had an
accurate description OF him from the
younger sisters. AS they passed the father
he said:
Show him no mercy II you find him.
Shoot him as you would a dog
Never fear" was the response. We'll
save the town the expense Of trial.
Having reached his home with Mabel the
father sent for physician. and then
started out to hunt for his child's assaii-

him he would kill him.

pneumonia, and James C. Saunders, the

provisions of the penal code of the State
in which crime is alleged to have been
committed.
The penal code defines the crime of man.
slaughter to be a homicide without crimi-

in the commission of misdemeanor, and
makes it a misdemeanor not to provide
medical attendance for minor toward

Another section of the code. declares that
any person is guilty of misdemeanor who
suffers a minor to die as result OF neg
ligence.

There's another hunter who hunts to

to have that uneasy feeling in the stom-

these little things are among the minor
marks of disordered condition of the
stomach and organs of nutrition and

pathway to some deadly disease.
Don't neglect the first symptoms Of
