lewis COiIieId. Deputy.

Miss Francis Wilson, county
treasurer of Allen county elect, has
informed a REGISTER reporter that
she had deci ded on Lewis CCfiield as
her deputy county treasurer TO assist
in the conduct of the Office during her
term. Miss Wilson was embarrassed
by the multitude of offers of very
desirable deputies and withheld her
decision until the last moment.
Every body knows Lewis Coflield. He
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. c. Cotiield.
and served under his father in the
county recorders Office, holding over
in that capacity for one term under
Mr.. Fowler. Then he went to war
and fought the festive Filipino until
he had every assurance that the latter
was ready to quit. He was sent home
and remained in the San Francisco
hospital for several months undergoing
severe operation before he was dis
charged. Upon his return here he Sc
cured position in the chemistry lab
oratory of the Lanyon Zinc Company
where he has worked faithfully ever
since. He has had the training neces-
sary to make an efficient clerk aud his
cheerful gift of soft speech, and his
ever ready smile will go long way
toward lessening the pain of the re-
luctant tax payer as he shoves the
long green across the desk at the
treasurer's Office.
The REGISTER says "amen" to the
appointment, and feels sure that the
public will.

THE BULLETS FLIGHT.
The Ball in the Tree Could Not Have
Slain GOebel,

Georgetown, KY, Aug. 9.-The de-
Tense expects to concludeits testimony
upon the Powers case today or tomor-
row. Surveyor Goodman, who testi-
fed yesterday, repeated much of his
testimony on the stand this morning.
In the cross examination the defense
had shown by the witness that bullet
if fired from the secretary of states Of
flee and had passed through Goebel's
body at 1916 inches depression to
the foot, would have entersd the
ground nearsthe fountain and that
therefore the bullet cut out of the hack
berry tree could not be the one fired by
the assassion. The prosecution
sought to break down this contention.

AFTER ELEVEN YEARS.
Excaped Convict Returns Voluntarily
to Complete His Term
lola, Kansas.

Leavenworth, Kansas, Aug. 10.--A
strange man walked into Warden
Tomlinson office at the State peni-
Tertiary last night and announced
that he was ready to give himself up
and serve out the remainder of his
time. He said his name was William
McLelland. In answer to Warden
.Tomlinson's questions he said that he
had escaped from the penitentiary
eleven years ago, that he was con-
victed of grand larceny in Neosho
county in 1887 and sentenced to five
years, of which he served three and
then made his escape while acting as
a trusty. He was in charge of a
traction engine, and, being out on the
road alone one day, an irresistible
desire for freedom took possession of
him. He stopped his engine, made
all secure and took to the woods.
Warden Case made efforts to appre-
bend him for several months, but he
was never heard of again until he
walked into the office last night. He
went, he said, at once to Arkansas,
where he went to work. After some
time he married and now has family
of five children. Finally, haunted by
the always present fear of arrest for
escaping, he resolved to rid himself
of the dread, and made up his mind
to come back and give himself up.
After making ample provision for
their support while he should be gone,
he bade the family goodbye and
started for Lansing.
When he had finished his story
Warden Tomlinson looked up the
prison record and found McLelland's
story true in all particulars. He was
turned over to the deputy, given a
blue suit of clothes and given a cell.
He will be given easy work about the
prison and will have fourteen months
yet to serve. 1t is likely, however,
that Governor Stanley will pardon
him soon, when the case is brought to
his notice.

He MURDERS A FRIEND
Charles FerrelI, of Columbus
Ohio, Shot his Friend
In Order to Rob the Express
Car and Secure Money OH
Which to Marry

Columbus, o., Aug. l3 Charles r.
H. Terrell, a former employee of the
Adams Express Company, was ar
rested this afternoon in this city and
has confessed to the killing of Messen-
ger Charles Lane and the robbery of
the way safe of the Adams Express
Company on the Pennsylvania east
bound train which arrived in this city
at midnight Friday. One thousand
dollars of the money which he had
stolen was recovered.
Terrell was to have been married
Thursday next to Miss Lillian Costlow,
daughter of Patrick Costlow, an
engineer on the Pennsylvania lines.
He had been discharged from the en-
ploy of the Adams Express Company
about three months ago and had not
since been able to secure employment.
He confessed that the motive of the
robbery was to secure money, of which
he felt in great need, on account of
his approaching marriage. The
money recovered he had given to Miss
Costlow to keep for him, saying it
was money saved from his earnings.
Having provided himself with a
Smith Il Wesson siX-shooter. 80 cal
iber, he went to Urbana Friday morn
ing and waited for No s. When the
train arrived there Terrell went at
once to the Express car and told Lane
he was out of money and asked per-
mission to ride to Columbus with him.
Lane consented, never for Il moment
suspecting the treachery of his pre-
tended friend. For short time
afterwards the train left Urbaua they
chatted pleasantly. Lane sat in II
chair in the end of the car with his
back slightly turned. When Terrell
had finally nerved himself for the
crime he drew his revolver and stepped
up behind Lane unobserved and fired
three shots in rapid succession into
the messengers back, Lane rolled
OIL the chair on the floor on his face
and Terrell quickly fired the remain
ing shots at theprostrate body. Lane
was unconscious, but Terrell, fearing
that the wounds already inflicted
would not cause death, took Lane's

revolver and fired two more bullets
from it into the body.
Terrell then took the key to the way
safe from the pocket of the dead messen-
ger and opened the safe and laid Lanes
revolver inside, where he could reach
it easily in case he was detected and
needed it to defend himself. After he
had taken out all the sacks containing
the money packages, money orders
and way bills, he placed them in
small satchel and waited until the
train arrived at Plain City, when he
slipped out of the car. He walked to
a hotel and retired to a room where
he hid his revolver and took the money
from the package. The next morning
he returned to Columbus.
Detectives found the revolver, traced
the man to Columbus and suspecting
Terrell because of his former con-
nection with the express business,
went to the Costlow home where he
was calling.
Terrell appeared annoyed at the in
trusion. The detectives didnot breach
the subject of the train robbery. but
told him that he was suspected of a
burglary, and that they wished him
to accompany them to the police
station, where the chief of polio g
wanted to interview him. Thinking
that perhaps the detectives were on
the wrong scent, Terrell nerved him
self and said, with apparent compos-
ure: II guess there must be some
mistake" He excused himself to the
young lady and accompanied the
detectives to the city prison On the
way to the station, the detectives told
Terrell what he was wanted for and
what they knew, and he reluctantly
admitted that he had committed the
crime.
AS soon as it was learned that Fer
rell had given the money to his sweet
heart, Inspector Barron went to the
house and secured it, The young
lady was utterly Frustrated by the
disclosures. She had not suspected
Terrell of wrongdoing for an instant,
and the news was terrible shock to
her and her parents, who had re-
garded Ferrell as model young man.
The young lady had never doubted
his story that the money he placed in
her keeping had been earned and
saved by him as he stated.

LITTLE JAPANESE kOOzS
These Apprentices Of the Orient Often
Begin Their Working Lives
at Five Years Of Age.

cTr~HE ancient custom OF apprenticeship
down from fedieval lines. and
still In force In Europe, has a
parallel In Japan-like so many other
Western customs. In japan. too, II has
been handed down for centuries. and II
remains TO-DAY one OF the most PIC
turesque and little known elements or
japanese civilization. ard OF interest 70
all who have a soft spot In their hearts
for small boys
The little Japanese apprentice is called
a .'kozo.' and he belongs to poor or
middle class family who cannot undertake
the burden OF his support and education
in the home. To apprentice boy TO some
useful trade means to make a good pro-
vision for his future. and the Japanese
idea seems to be that the sooner this
arrangement Is made the better. When
the parents have decided upon what cali
Ing the son shall enter. or have found a
good opening for him, perhaps In the
business of a friend, he leaves HIS home
with his parents, and Is bound over to
his master with a long career before
him as 'kozo" before he can aspire 10
be a workman with wages. and finally
master himself IL he develops any ability
In his trade.
The frst-born son In an Oriental family
Is of so much Importance that in japan
he rarely becomes "kozo.' unless his
parents are too poverty stricken to sup
port him. but that does not often happen
in country where living Is so cheap
that small ones can be reared at the cost
OF a few sens a day. II economizing
must be done. It Is the unfortunate
younger sons who suffer by II and are
generally apprenticed.
Most Of the 'kozos'' In a Japanese city
are country boys. so that when they
leave their homes they may not return
again for many years II is not uncom-
mon for child TO become ''kozo" at
the age of or s years. II the master
considers the boy bright and strong and
likely to do well In the trade. he pays
the parents good sum of money. and
agrees to give the boy home food and
clothing until he is IS. when the appren-
ticeship IL over. The name, by the way,
