SEEMS INCREDIBLE

Saranac Local: Thursday Deputy
Sheriff Morse, Of Lowell, arrested Mrs.
Emma Miller of Berlin. The charge
is lewd and lascivious cohabitation and
the complaint was made by Chauncey
Miller husband of the woman. Mrs.
Miller's maiden name was Guyheardt
and some time ago she separated from
her husband and went to living with
her brother, Frederick Guyheardt. "A
short time ago the brother and sister
moved into the Fred Peck house east
from town, and the complaint alleges
that they have been unlawfully cohab-
itating together. Guyheardt was gone
north when the deputy sheriff was
there so his story could not be obtain
ed and the woman was silent upon the
subject.

CHAPTER XXI.
Had BatsY Lived.

1t was the last day of the inquest.
and TO many it bid fair to be the least
interesting. All the witnesses who had
anything to say had long ago given in
their testimony, and when at or neor
noon Sweetwater slid into the incon-
spicuous seat he had succeeded in OBJ
tanning near the coroner, it was to
find in two faces only any signs of
eagerness and expectancy that filled
his own breast to suffocation. But as
these faces were those of Agnes Halli-
day and Amabel Page, he soon recog-
nized that his own Judgment was not
at fault, and that. Notwithstanding
outward appearances and the Ianguid
interest shown IN the now tagging pro-
ceedings. the moment presaged an
event full of unseen, but vital conse-
quence.
Frederick was not visible in the
great hall: but that he was near at

change Sweetwater now saw in ANA
bel. For while she had hitherto sat
under the universal gaze with only the
faint smile of conscious beauty on her
inscrutable features, she reused as

passions laboring in that venomous
breast.
Next moment the door opened, and
Frederick and his father came in. The
air of triumphant satisfaction with
which Amabel sank back into her seat
was as marked in its character as her
previous suspense. What did it mean?

President Mckinley has always given

BlGDAMAGE SUITS
Rock Island Wins First ON Ac-
count of VOIland Wreck.
Case Will Be Appealed to the
Supreme Court.
MR.MORPHY EXPLAINS
Shows He Made No Mistake i'm
Falcon Contest Case.
News From Various State House
Departments.

The Rock Island has achieved an i'm
portant victory in the first of the law
suits to recover damages on account of
the Volland wreck last spring.
The jury held in this case that the
accident which caused the death of sew
eral persons and dangerously injured a
number Of others, was not due to the
negligence of the railroad company.
The jury held also that the company
was in no way responsible for the ac-
cident. The case will be appealed to
the supreme court.
The plaintiff, w. z. Bryant, who lives
at Weatherford, Ok, brought suit to re-
cover $4,000 damages in the district
court of Sumner county, Kansas. He
proved the injury and proved also that
they were received while he was a pas
eenger on the Rock Island train which
was wrecked at Volland.
The jury heard all of these facts and
then listened to the testimony of the
railroad company. The company
proved that the track and cars had
been inspected at the regular and re-
Quired intervals and that the reports of
the men engaged in this work showed
everything to be in f1rst-class condi-
ton. The company also proved that
the wreck was on a straight piece Of
track and showed by experts that no
cause OF 1t has as yet been discovered.
When the testimony was concluded the
5ury went out, returning almost imme-
diately with the verdict mentioned.
The plaintiff is not satisfied and the
case viii soon come to the supreme
court
This is the first Of the Rock Island
cases and the company feels that this
verdict will become a precedent upon
which the future victories in the Htiga-
ton for damages will rest.

ceedings before the senate, of which
body he was secretary. OF this matter
Mr.. Morphy says in a letter to the
Journal:
TT is required that a transcript of
legislative journals be made and filed
with the Secretary of state and it is i'm
possible of course to make this trans
cript with out the original Such a
transcript is necessary as the original
is usually put together hurriedly, mo-
lions, resolutions and the like are mere
ly pasted in and the whole thing is
invariably in very unsatisfactory con-
ditiOn for a permanent record.
IAN appropriation is usually made to
enable the recording officers of the re-
spective houses to do the work expedi-
tiously as was done. did the
regular session record which was filed
less than so days after adjournment.
There being no appropriation for the
contest court session, I have had to
work on the transcript of that record as
my time would permit, which accounts
for the delay in filing. The record has
been properly preserved and was in the
hands of the supreme court on the day
the case was heard"

DELICATE OPERATION.
Chicago Man Has an Extra Stomach
Removed.

Battle Creek, Mich, Oct 20.-The
facts in a, peculiar case of surgery, in
which a former Chicago baseball play
er figures, have been made public here.
The patient is Seth Stratton. His pc
culiarity is that he had two stomachs
and yet was starving.
Ever since childhood Stratton has
been troubled with his stomach, suf-
fering excruciating pain at times.
Some OF the best physicians in the land
have treated him. He finally submitted
to an operation at the hospital here.
An examination on the opera ting table
proved that he had two stomachs, but
was approaching starvation through
inability to assimilate food. The object
of the surgeons was to remove the sec
ond and superfluOus stomach, and
do away with the contraction of the
esophagus that prevented his getting
food into either stomach. This was fin
ally accomplished.
Stratton's trouble had increased to
such an extent that food had to be
forced into his stomach. He grew thin,
weak and pale, and the operation was
all that saved his life, after his case
had been pronounced incurabIe.
Recent StrattOn had an X-ray pho
tOgraph taken Of his abdominal region,
and 1t showed a formation on the
esOphagus, just above the diaphram. 1t
was found that since boyhoOd he had
been the victim of the contraction of
the esophagus, which grew worse and
worse, until nothing could pass
through it. The retention of food above
this place caused a distention of the
esophagus, until that tube proved its
identity with the major digestive organ
by itself becoming a stomach. Every
feature of the primary pouch was re-
produced with the exception of the
muscles.
Stratton is inspector for a Chicago
gas company. He believes now that he
is in a fair way to recover.
