ut is at all events possible that they
may not have done so," replied Sturgis
"for my Investigations show that both
Arbogast and Chatham have been men
of regular and exemplary habits in
their private lives. They do not APP
pear to have been living much, If at
all, beyond their means. There does
not seem to have been, in the case OF
either man, any room for double ex-
istence, which might otherwise have
explained the situation. Neither was
spendthrift or gambler, and Meth
er was dissipated."
Then you have not the faintest idea
of the present whereabouts Of Chatham
or Of his mysterious accomplice?"
"Let me tell you exactly what have
done up to the present time; and then
you will be able to Judge for yourself.
And /, too, shall see more clearly where
we stand; for the necessity of putting
ones thoughts into words is an aid to
clear thinking"

Brute SIashed Girl With q KNIFE,

Shenandoah. Pa, June 2l.-One Of tho
most astrocious crimes ever committed
within the limits of this borough, occurred
last evening when Katie, the 1l-year-old
daughter Of John Orawiez, was attacked
by man while picking huckleberries on
the mountain. The man picked Katie
up and carried her into the woods. She
was SO frightened she could not cry, but
after struggle succeeded in doing so. Her
companions took up the alarm and John
Franks, who guards the public roads near
by, went to the rescue. Not satisfied with
attacking Katie, the man slashed his VIC
tim with a pocket knife. Upon seeing the
approach OF Franks. he took to his heels
and escaped.
Katie Is In q prccarions condition. A
posse was organized. The man was fol-
lowed 10 Locust Mountain, where all
traces Of him were lost. Had he been
caught he would have been lynched. The
police have good description Of him ard
he will In all probability be apprehended.

Dover, DEL, June 21.-James M.

last April importuned the Sheriff
of Kent county to fog him publicly

my errors myself, never want to

what would be the consequences"

Special to TIE. NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
Since it was decided to hold the En-
campment in Chicago it has been COM
mon remark that mistake has been
made in selecting too large n city. 1t was
urged that the big gathering ought never
to be held in New York or Chicago, be-
cause the cities are so large that proper
attention is not given to the old soldiers;
that those places are so big that they
do not care for or notice eXpositions, con-
claves, encampments or other gatherings
that in cities of smaller dimensions would
be events in their histories. In these alb
normally large cities it was said that
shows of this kind interfere with trade,
and, in fact, We're not wanted They
should go to smaller cities, like Boston.
Milwaukee, or Denver, where the people
have more time to welcome the old sol
diers and provide better entertainment in
return for the needed advertising given
the city where the Encampment is held. If
