realized the Importance of the capture.
When the detectives visited the house of
Lynch they found their man in a room
seated beside the bed of his sick wife.

PIANO OF MUSICAL STONES.
Extraordinary Instrument ON Dis
play at the Brest Expo
sitiOn.

3 Honore Baudre, an aged amateur
scientist, has placed on show at the
international exposition at Brest
what he calls geological piano, the
most curious instrument perhaps in
the whole world, reports q London
exchange. M. Baudre says 1t took
him 33 years to construct it and even
now he claims there is slight defect
which he hopes to remedy before his
death. That there are musical stones
is not O. new thing, but an instrument
composed of stones collected during
more than three decades of patient
research in France and Canada Is a
phenomenal achievement.
M. Baudre found most of his music
al stones In Auvergne and every one
of them represents either petrifled
fish or some prehistoric instrument.
He relates that his greatest difficulty
consisted in finding the low C of his
octave. For more than ten years he
searched for it, when last fall he
came across it in Canada. He says
none can appreciate the joy he felt
at its discovery. Those who have
heard M. Baudre play on his geolog-
ical piano say the music is much pur-
err and sweeter than that of any 9TH
er instrument and it needs no piano
tuner to put it in order.
M. Baudre has received fattering
offers to bring his piano to America,
but he claims to be too old to under
take the journey, and as for selling
it, he would not part with it for all
the money in the world.

ALLEGED MIsMANAGEMENT

The following is taken from the
Detroit Tribune of Tuesday:
"The damage suit of the Nester
estate against the Diamond Match
Co., involving 81, 900, 900, was begun
in the United States court Monday
morning. The plaintiff charges
mismanagement against the de-
PENDANT corporation, which was
handling its logs on the Ontonagon
river for some years past; has mis-.
managed them to such an extent
that large numbers of them have
been allowed to rot, spelling mil
lions of feet of timber. The plaintiff
also claims that the Diamond Match
Co. appropriated large numbers to
their own use.
Some months ago the. Diamond
Match Co. sued the Nester estate
and obtained judgment for a large
amount, so that bitter feeling
characterizes the proceedings. A
demurrer was filed Monday morn
ing by the hester estate and leave
granted to amend its declaration.
