There had been incessant showers and
everything was growing rampantly;
grass, trees and shrubs, reminding you Of
freshly bathed baby, they were so pal

evening, few weeks earlier, that my
little girl remarked on the fact, that we
never saw any signs of life in the house
opposite, except the smoke from the
kitchen chimney. l noticed the empty
porch, the closed shutters and the look
of intense stiffness, and answered her
that was glad there was no movement
there. | was too tired to enjoy seeing
people. l liked the look of peace
about the house.
My words seemed to strike the child
forcibly for some reason, so that al

peace House.

showed that there was life there.

stood, the picture of an ideal home from
the outside; its lawns like velvet, a
border of rich, blue plumbago outlin-
ing the long veranda, and the beauti-
full rose, its long, white-laden branches
swinging in the summer breeze. My
curiosity was becoming rather unman-
agable, when at last caller said: "Gou

HURST'S' CONFESSION.
Convicted and Executed Murderer Made
a Confession Several Days Be
fore Execution.

Joe Hurst, who was hanged at Glen
dive Friday last, made a confessiont to
a Glendiye minister several days be-
fore his death, but requested that it
be withheld until after he was dead,
for the reason he said that mis- attor-
sneys might save his life at the last
moment" The confession is published
with the account of the hanging in a
Glendive paper, and is signed by the
minister to whom it was given. Hurst
confessed that he had followed Cav
anaugh through$the alley on the night
of the 23dsof December, and that after
talking in a friendly manner with Cav
anaugh, struck him with a heavy iron
bolt when his back was turned. Cav
5anaugh fell, uttering two slight cries.
Hurst turned and saw a woman some
distance away and struck at Cavan-
augh again while looking at her and
missed him, breaking the bolt on the
ground. He then struck him sew
era1 more times and fled. When asked
why he would not make this confes-
sion to the officers Of the law Hurst
said: Damn them, they have thirsted
for my blood and | won't give them
the satisfaction"
Hurst's body was taken through on
No. 2 Saturday night, accompanied by
his father and wife. 1t will be buried
in Minnesota. where Hurst formerly
lived.
