An Old Story Retold,

AS this is court time, and. we
are all looking to see Justice
melted out to all who go to law,
the following story from an ex-
change may not be amiss:
There was an auction sale in q
little house. and, one after an
other, a widows few possessions
fell beneath the hammer. Present.
iy the auctiOneer took up a large
bowl, which happened to be full
OF sugar, and the poor woman,
anxious to save it's contents.
hastened into the next room, to
lind something in which to put it.
Just as she returned the auc-
tloneer cried, "SOldl" and the
purchaser insistedsthat the sugar
was his. The widow pleaded for
the little that was much to her:
but the man was oObdurate. and
murmurS of Indignation arose
from the crowd. Angry at this

A MOST FOUL CRIME.

From the EllinwoOd Leader we
take the following account of
What was unquestionably the
fodlest deed committed in the
county, by q brute in human
shape since the Becker case of
some years ago. Words are in
adequate to express the loathing
which one feels for a thing which
would act as it is said the man
Harbold did. The Leader saws:
Never, probably, in the Grim
inal history of Barton county,
has a more dastardly night S
work been recorded, than the
crime which was committed at
the home Of Theresa Strange, an
aged widow at this city, last
Monday night. According TO the
story OF Mrs. Strange and her
12-year-old grand dau g h ter,
Annie Matzek, man knocked at
her door, at about half past
eleven Monday night and de-
manded admittance. Thinking.
he was the boy expected with the
washing, she let him in. The in
truder Immediately forced the
old lady to the floor and bound
her hand and foot. The fiend
then'got into bed with the grand
child, remaining there for two
hours. That he did not accom-
plish his nefarious purpose was
due solely to physical reasons.
Before leaving the home, the
dastardly cur robbed the old
lady of her hard earned savings,
some $3 so. During his opera,
tlOns he frequently threatened
the lives OF both and emphasized
his threats with a revolver. They
also say that he was intoxicated
at the time and would take a
drink out OF a bottle he had with
him, every little while. Upon
q leaving the. house, he declared
that If his. victims told anyone Of
what had occurred, he would re
turn and kill them. both.
At daylight, Mrs. STANCE, more
dead than alive with fright,
made. her way'to the residence Of
Rev. Fr. Emmerich and told him
all that had happened: Marshal
Logan was sent for at once. and
from the description given by the
woman and the little girl and
other clues. he at once suspected
Newt Harbold of being implica-

ted. A warrant was sworn out
by Justice Musil and Harbold
arrested. He was positive y
identified by the little girl as her
assailant and also by the grand
mother.
The circumstances surround
ing the crime all point most
strongly to Harbold as being the
culprit, and little doubt exists in
the minds OF anyone here, but
that he is the guilty wretch.
Tuesday afternoon he was ar
raigned before Justice Musil on
the charge of robbery and at
tempted rape. He waived pre-
liminary on both counts and was
bound over to the district court.
in $500 bond on each offence. In
default of bail he was committed
to the county Jail at Great Bend.
And lucky it was, indeed, for
Harbold, that he was spirited
away that afternoon, for as the
details of the mOnstrOus crime
became public and as each sue
ceeding item of evidence pointed
unerringly to him as the demon,
little knots of men were seen to
gather together and converse in
low but determined tones, which
boded no good for the criminal.
Outraged public feeling could not
have been controlled and no one
can fOrtell when forbearance
would have ceased to be a virtue
with the ordinary law abiding
and order loving citizens of our

to tell you that | charge you five

mand immediate payment. If

OF payment you will most GER
tainly regret it.
The man turned scarlet, and,
fumbling in his wallet, produced
a fve-dollar bill. The crowd yell
ed it's approval, but suddenly be-
came silent as Mr.. Wise walked
up to the widow and said:
"This money is mine. [ have

children. "-Royal Neighbor.
