work searching the hidden depths to
wrest from them their secret. The
hour passed, the afternoon and the
day, but nothing was brought from the
lake. In strict justice it must be said
that the dragging process was not
carried on according to her directions.
She now declares that the net never
touched the body reposng on the bot
tom of the lake
When it was known that the drag
ging had been unproductive those who
had based their faith on the child
judgment began to waver and she was
denounced as fraud of the most pro-
nouncad type. Then winter set in
and the lake was locked in ice and the
matter began to fade from the public
mind. Not so the little girl. 1t was
useless to tell her that she must be
mistaken.
She declared that the body was still
in lie water, that she could see it and
persisted in going to the river at in
tervals. During these visits she
made the acquaintance of Capt. He
fele, of the steamer Gazelle. Sh. went
to the captain and solemnly asserted
that the body was fast to a snag in
the bottom of the river, caught and
held by the nightdress. The captain
paid no attention to the child regard
ing the whole thing as one of her hal
lucinations. Again and again she went
to him. begging him to go and release
the body Nothing would put her off.
She declared that she could see the
body and would not rest until it was
released.
At length there came day when
the waters of the staid Illinois were
far above their banks. The wind was
blowing hurricane and when the oc-
cupants of a cabin boat on the Taze-
well side of the stream looked out of
the window they saw what looked like
bag of some kind floating in the
water among the willows in which
their boat was fastened. A hasty
examination convinced them that it
was human body, and upon rowing
to It's side IL proved to be the body of
the long-lost Mrs. Sommers, When
the body was taken from the water
the condition of the dress garments
confirmed even in the smallest detail
the statements Of the child. She ex-
pressed no surprise that such is the
case.
II could see her." she said, "and why
shouldn't I know how she was7"
She makes no secret of her strange
power nor is she averse' to discussing
II. Asked IL the visions came TO her
when she was asleep. she replied that
sometimes she was asleep and some
times she was awake. On the right
that Mrs. Sommers disappeared she
was awake. having heard the clock
strike just previous to the vision. She
says that she does not seem to be in
trance, but that very often has a
peculiar sensation while seeing the VIZ
slons.

Tom O'Rourke takes back nothing

with him after September z, when
their contract expires. There have

rupture, and it came quickly when
Gus Rubin put up challenge to fight

the alarm and the inmates of the house
of course. that in fit of temporary
alteration she had wandered to the
house of one of the neighbors. But
the most diligent inquiry failed to re-
veal her whereabouts and then the
family became genuinely alarmed. A
searching party was organized and
e. they set out to find her. The ground
was not frozen and they soon came
upon footprints in the mud and going
from the house. These were followed
as far as they could be in the dark
ness, when the party returned home
to await the coming of day before re-
newing the search. When the morn
ing broke. however, the earth was
frozen hard and the trail abandoned
the night before was hard to follow
New parties were added and reward
offered for the discovery Of the
woman dead or alive. The country
was secured for miles in either direc-
ton, but always without result. Some
times they fancied they had discov-
cred the broken trail, but these frag-
mentary discoveries led to nothing
tangible. At last, in despair, the rel
atives invoked the aid of bloodhounds.
The trail they followed was a devious
and winding one, running from the
Craig home. on Fayette street, north
by northeast to Glen Oak Park thence
In a westerly direction to Bradley
Park, outside the city's limits, ana on
its western border Here the trail
grew faint, and it was only with diff
Easton farm. where it was lost, and
the dogs stopped and never after did
they get any further. At this juno
ture little Grace Holmes appeared on
the scene. She is a child about ten
years old and especially bright for her
age. Her parents are uneducated peo-
pie and not in the best of circum-
stances, but she has given scores of
instances where it has been conclu-
siyely shown that she is possessed of
the most extraordinary power in the
matter of clairvoyance. She an
nounced to the grief-stricken family
that while lying in her bed at home
!. more. than a mile from the Craig
house she had seen the unfortunate
woman come out of the house, climb
over the fence and make her way
stealthily through the deserted streets
and lonely alleys to the river, where
she had walked out in the ice and
plunged into an opening left by the
.icemen the day before.
This statement was borne out by the
parents, who asserted that she had
told the story identically as repeated
on coming down stairs in the morning,
and that this was long before she could
possibly have had an opportunity OF
learning the facts in the case from any
source whatsoever. The child was
questioned closely, but she stuck to
her story with a persistence that be-
gan to disarm suspicion. She de-
rscribed the garments worn by Mrs.

Frank Erne.

The recent battle for the lightweight
championship of the world between
Frank Erne of Buffalo mad Joe Cans
of Baltimore attracted a great amount
of interest through the whole country.
Students of form picked Cans as the
winner and as a result the negro was
a favorite in the betting at 10 to s. A
great amount of money was wagered
on the match and several of those who
looked upon Cans IS sure thing
have had reason to regret the conf
dence they placed in him. The col
ored man fought fine battle up to the
twelfth round, when his eye was so
badly cut that he told the referee he
could proceed no further, the blood
running into his eyes and binding
him. The referee, of course, then gave
the decision to Erne. Cans had the
advantage over the Buffalo champion
in several rounds, his superb blocking,
scientific punching and wonderful foot
work proving too much for the clever
and shifty Erne. In many quarters
the impression prevailed that Cans
showed himself gutter" by throw
ing up the battle when the tide SEEM
ed to be running in his favor.
Frank Erne, who by his victory over
Cans retains the lightweight cham
