Strangely Cured OF stutter,ux.

The curious freaks the mauser bulle-
has performed in its coursings through
the systems of fighting Americans il
the late wars have resulted in som,
queer tales. The latest is the expert
enec of Private H. L. Redmond, com
pany {, First Colorado volunteer in.
fantry, who, when he enlisted, suffered
sobadly that the recruiting officer came
near leaving him Off the rolls. Private
Redmond was wounded in the battle of
Mariquina on March 81. Now, his
wound is healed and he shutters no
more, A mauser bullet struck him in
the face, passed diagonally downward
through his mouth, and made it's exit
near the back of the neck. It was con.
sidered g frightful wound by the sur
geons, but Redmond proceeded TO re-
cover even faster than patients with
less painful injuries. Now, all that can
be seen of the wound is q small, liyjd
spot to the left of the nose and above
the upper lip. Redmond chews hard
tack with the greatest zest and tells
stories he has not been able to finish
In years on account Of his hating
speech. He insists that the mauser bull
let carried away his vocal impediment.

In 1891 the death rate in Russia rose

DEAD BEATS.

The town has been blessed with

The paralyxed man went all over
town with paper, soliciting aims.
After gathering in the dimes and
quarters from the sympathetic pub.
lie, he hied himself to the
saloons and got drunk and stayed
drunk until he could get no more
money.
The leper was unloaded at tho
depot, supposed to have come
from Bowie. Why such an object
was allowed to come in is q mys-
terry. Tho citizens bought ticket
for him and his partner back to
Bowie. They were let off at Sol
omonville, and we understand the
people there would not allow them
in the town. 1t is said the leper
had large roll of bills.
II looks as though they were
systematically working the coun-
try, people of each community
making up purses to get them to
the next town.
The county, territory and Unit
ed States provide homes for such
people and there is where they
should be. They have no cause
and no right to be travelling around
the country imposing upon the
good hearted and charitably in
clined people. Ninety nine out of
every hundred can be put down as
using their unfortunate condition
to blk the people.
1t is not charity to help those
who are using their ailments to
get money to get drunk on. In
every community are worthy and
unfortunate people who need as
sistance and they are the ones who
should receive it and not the
travelling "bilks." In the larger
places, certain charitable organizs-
tions usually attend to the needy.
They investigate every case before
giving assistance, and those who
are deserving are always taken
care of,

A STRANGE TRIAL.
Jester Accused of Thirty
year old Muir
der.

Paris, Mo-, Oct 22.-Alexander Jes-
ter, accused murderer of Gilbert Gates,
has been held to the grand jury by
Judge Moss this morning as a result
of his preliminary trial. The jurors
will meet here Monday and an indict-
ment is expected to be secured early
next week. The prosecution will then
ask that a special term of the circuit
court be held in January for the final
trial of the case.
This was the third preliminary trial
of the aged prisoner, and each has re-
suited the same way The first trial
was held before his extradition from
Kansas, when arrested in 1871. The
second was held before his indictment
for the murder after being brought to
this city a few weeks later.
All the evidence taken at the pre-
liminary trial has been typewriter and
each witness has signed his testimony,
so that in case of the death of wit
ness before the regular trial the state s
case will not be affected
The life story Of Jester will be sci
down in the pages of criminal history
as remarkable and unique If the
charge of murder is sustained the story
is complete. Scarcely an essential Is
lacking for a thrilling romance-love
adventure, mystery sustained decep-
ton, and finally betrayal. The mar
now charged with murder, if guilty
has been carrying the secret for thirty
years, while he preached and prospered
winning the respect and confidence OF
his fellow townsmen and making mo-
ney where others failed.
1t is not often that a criminal es-
capes capture for so long a time. 1t is
not often, either, that one who has rea-
son to fear detection remains in his
own country and in the vicinity of the
scene of his crime. 1t now remains
for the prosecution to prove that he is
the man who took the life of his travel
ing companion in the Missouri woods
for the sake of his team, his outfit and
his money.
While in Jail here the accused has
heard daily the reports of progress
against him, and then, raising his fin
ger toward heaven he insists that, "a
am an innocent man." without these
unique features in the case, however.
the trial would still attract general at
tention, because Of the prominence of
the Gates family. John w. Gates, as
president of the American Wire and
Steel Company, is widely known in this
country, and his father is remembered
by old settlers as one of the conspicu-
Gus pioneers in Illinois.

freight train today at the South Spen-
Ger station, fell between the cars and
had his arm mangled. He was standing
at the depot as the slow freight came
along, and he decided to ride as far
as Howe's mills and walk through the
woods to his home The car that he
tried to board was fourth from the
end. AS it came along, he grabbed the
bar and lost his balance, falling be-
tween the two cars. After the first
two wheels of the car passed over his
arm, he had presence of mind enough
to roll out of the way. He was driven
to DR.. Houle's office, where his injury
was dressed, and he was afterwards
taken to St Vincents hospital, where
the arm will be amputated at the Shout
der. He was accompanied to Worcester
