year old sons of III. L. Morris, OF
Tip Top, were brought before

that some of the parents of the

children to school on account of
them. A number of witnesses
were introduced both for and

the boys which their father went
on, then the Squire gave the boys
a good, sound, fatherly talking and
then their liberty.

WAS FOUND MURDERED.
Eberhard Fette Shot to Death Near
West Point,

West Point, Oct. 16-Eberhard
Fette, an aged farmer living five miles
southeast of This place, was found ~
ing in his hog pasture Sunday with
five bullet holes in his body. He is a
widower, and lives alone, his farm be-
ing off the main road about one-quar-
ter mile, and is surrounded by a dense
forest, making favorable location for
anything of this nature. Near him
was his double-barrelled shotgun, with
one load discharged, and powder and
shot horns. Farther away was a gal
vanized iron bucket that had been
pierced with a bullet. Everything in
the house was turned upside down,
and his empty purse was found on a
table. Sheriff Tucker arrested John
Shutter on account of his suspicious
actions. This mans shoe measures
exactly the same as tracks found near
the house.
The premises OF the murdered man
were thoroly examined by Sheriff
Tucker and Mr.. Lohmann and several
foot prints found in the sand. One OF
the foot prints answers the exact
measurement of Shutters shoe.
There was also the print of woman's
shoe near by, and IN all probability
there is woman connected with the
terrible affair.
About twenty-five farmers in the vi
entity are up in arms over the blood
curdling tragedy, and will leave no
stone unturned that will bring the
guilty party to justice.
SmutZer the man under arrest, is
probably about thirty years old, and
really an innocent appearing fellow.
When the paper was read to him
charging him with murder, he ap.
peared astonished, but showed no evil
dence of guilt in either countenance
or action, His reason for calling at
the Fette place this morning, he said,
was to see the old man; that he knew
him and heard something had hap

We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow Of rich blood. This
is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food, to
keep the blood rich. When it

Some New Strikes.
Some recent strikes are reported
to have been made on the Koyukuk,
the Tanana and Porcupine rivers, but
it is said that there is an effort being
made to keep that as secret matter
as possible, until everything has been
staked. Men who go to that country
limited financially, say with ST. 900
grub stake, do not stand much of a
chance. They are very likely to go
broke and if they have no more cap
ital are either compelled to come out,
or go to some of the transportation
companies who will give them another
stake. The men who are sent out by
the companies, when they do find any
thing, stake off claim for themselves
and what they want for their friends,
and then the transportation company
comes along and crowds off all other
der that way. There is not much of
a chance for the independent prospect
