murderer of Miss Mary Henderson, at
Columbus. shifted during the night

fresh start and are covering all the
ground around that town. There APP
pears no doubt that Francis jumped
of a Missouri Pacific train at Stras-
burg Friday night and made for the
woods near by. As soon as the pur-
suers became convinced OF this, the
posse that had been searching about
Holden started for Strasburg, taking
additional bloodnounds, and receiving
additions to the crowd at every mile.
The trial is believed the strongest one
obtained since the man hunt began
on Wednesday. and the people are II
fever OF excitement over the appar-
ent nearness Of the negro's capture.
Francis objective point is believed
to be Kansas City, and all incoming
trains from the south are watched
closely, and as well men have been
sent out into the outskirts OF Kansas
City. Kss., and will keep close look
out.
At noon il was believed that the
posse was close on the trail Of Fran
els. When caught he will probably be
taken TO Columbus, which is IS miles
overland from Strasburg, and burned
at the stake at the Hyatt farmhouse.

Notwithstanding the immense

but no body of an animal having

matters as is Andrew Carnegie.
His entire fortune is capitalized
in such a manner as to yield an
income of one million dollars a

amount without having any cares
of business and without being re-

Certainly, if it is in the power of

ought to be so.
