unconscious in his room and doctor
was sent for. The doctor came and
lanced both sides of his neck, taking
from each side about a pint of pus.
The young man then regained con-
seriousness and was offered medicine
but would not take it. and when some
was forced into his mouth he rejected
it. He was removed to the hospital
Wednesday and again became I'M
conscious. Medicine was injected in
to him but blood poisoning had got in
its work and he died Thursday. The
Christian scienticts blame the doctor
for his death. saying that his interior
ences with their treatment brought il
about. Considerable indignation was
aroused in the city by his death and
several prominent citizens expressed
themselves in pretty strong language
in reference to the action of the scien-
lists. Their is talk of new law to
prohibit their operations in the re-
public. Regarding the death Chris
tian scientist said that, as in all great
scientific movements, so in Christian
science an experimental stage had to
be overbridged and necessarily a few
lives had to be sacrificed, but what was
that compared with the benefits to be
reaped by the whole human race from
the great and helpful truth of the So
ciety. Moore went to Mexico from
Kansas City.

cave near the big Florida mountains
with about that number OF reptiles in

them. He has decided to wait until
Esau comes back by Deming on his
way to Ell Paso and let him go in and
catch them himself. Bill says he
knows they are in there for he tied a
rock to a rope and let it down among
them and heard them rattle. Esau
will be through Deming on his way to
Ell Paso to perform and make balloon
ascensions. so Bill says. and he is sat
isfied that Esau will not be afraid to
go into the cave after the snakes for he
has seen him let rattlers bite him when
he knew that their fangs had not been
removed.

with whom Paul Betzler, who commit

noon in her room by taking chloro-

loon keeper to the ranch where he COM
mitted suicide and Monday when his
body was found she continued her de-
bauch. Tuesday an officer went to
take her to the coroner's inquest as a
witness and found her too drunk to
talk intelligently. Soon after the Of
ficer left she sent for a colored woman
and told her what she wanted to wear
when dead. The woman at whose
house she was staying suspected that
she contemplated suicide and went to
her room about 1:30 p. m. and found
her door locked on the inside. She
smelled chloroform and forced the door
open. The woman was lying on the
bed with an almost empty four-ounce
bottle in her hand. She sent for a doc

Nor could she dream that each Of three
young hypocrites was saying to him

They did take to each other. Ross
found ii was not necessary to keep his
engagement that evening and permit
ted his friend to cool his heels alone at
their appointed rendezvous. Ralph
learned his tenor went wonderfully
well with the pure soprano OF their
guest And Dick was SO anxious to
initiate Miss Chester into the mysteries
of t1aShlight pictures that he made him
self no end of bore. The country
cousin of the StaffOrds did not go east
that week nor the next. When she
did go, all the mirth and laughter of
the Stafford domicile seemed to go with
her. One morning a week after her de-
parture Ralph and Dick said some bit
ter things when they discovered that
Ross had found out he must attend to
business in New York and had left for
the city on the midnight train. And
when Ross returned, silent, but smil-
Ing and eXultant, they were not at al
backward about telling him with true
fraternal frankneSS their opinion of his
conduct.
You We're awfully good to go to meet

BARNARD IS ARRESTED
HE FAILED TO PAY A FINE I'M
POSED BY JUDGE BAKER.
In 1895 BENJAMIN Barnard Was n
Dealer I'm Hides at Kokomo. and
Was Arrested for Irregularities.

In 1895 Benjamin Barnard was arrested in
Kokomo charge of violating the postal
laws and brought before Judge Baker, who
fined him $3.50 and costs. The costs amount
ed to $3.50, making a total in fine and costs
OF 5000, which Barnard said he was unable
to pay. An arrangement was entered into
whereby Barnard was allowed to pay $50
month until the fine and costs were liqui-
dated. For the first two or three months
he was very prompt in his payments, but
finally he would only pay $40 or SIS month
and then he quit paying altogether. He
was rearrested yesterday morning and
brought before Judge Baker, who released
him with the understanding that he was to
in six weeks.
In 1895 BENJAMIN Barnard was engaged
in buying and selling hides in Kokomo' and
1t was charged that he would send circu-
lars all over the country in which he
agreed to pay larger prices than any other
dealer could afford to pay. AS conse-
quence, it is said, he would very frequently
receive a carload of hides from distant
States, which, after inspection, he would
refuse to take at the price agreed upon,
alleging that the hides were damaged. AS
hides to be returned without damage the
owner would sell the hides to Barnard at
his own price. 1t was the owner of one of
these carloads of hides who finally filed
the affidavit which resulted in the arrest
and conviction of Barnard:

ALLEGES A CONSPIRACY.
Allen Jennings Is Acquitted I'm the
Police Court.

Allen Jennings was acquitted in Police
Court yesterday of the charge of auction
ing goods without license. Mr.. Jennings
alleges that his arrest was the result of
conspiracy. A man named Dobbs wanted
to dispose of his household goods at public
sale. and Jennings agreed to act as auc-
tioneer without pay. He alleges that sew
eral local auctioneers heard of the matter
and informed the police that an attempt
would be made to auction off the goods
without placing the stipulated sum in the
Golfers Of the city. Instead of notifying
him not to proceed, says Mr.. Jennings, and
thereby saving him the humiliation Of be-
ing arrested, the police were in the house
and ready to seize him the moment he be-
gan to cry the first article.
According to Jennings, the programme
could not have been better rendered if
there had been several rehearsals. The
minions of the law pounced upon him and
he was carried off 10 the police station to
give bond. Jennings further alleges that in
pursuance Of the conspiracy that had been
Matched to work his undoing a licensed
auctioneer was in the house, and the mo-
ment he (Jennings) was arrested the auc-
tioneer approached Mr.. Dobbs and rendered
his services, his fee to be 10 per cent. Of
the amount realized from the sale. AS the
goods sold for $40. Jennings claims that the
$14 for the work that he (Jennings) would
have done gratis
Mr.. Jennings asserts that the alleged
conspirators laid their plans well, but he
regards his acquittal in Police Court as
vindication not to be sneered at.
