Becoming alarmed he took his eldest
daughter and went to the mountains
His wife hired neighbors to bury the
body of the child and then went to the
home of Judge E. Hensley. She told
him of the death of her son, and said
she suspected her husband, who told
her he was going into the mountain
woods TO hunt squirrels, and aGded that
at different times he had threatened to
kill the whole family. The judge took
her with her two younger daughters to
his home and presented the case to the
grand jury. One of the little girls told
the jury that her father had kicked the
boy to death. Shortly afterward a
sheriffs posse captured Sprading in
the mountains, but his eldest daughter
was not with him. The posse is still
searching for her. while he is held on
the charge Of murder.
Later-Sprading' missing daughter
turned up today, barefooted and rag
ged. after her escape from her father
in the mountains. She was immediate
ly taken before the grand jury and
testified to how her father killed the
boy, threatened her life and that of her
mother She testified that he would
have Drained them heretofore but for
the interference of neighbors. Judge
Hensley has the Jail so strongly
guarded that there is. no longer any
danger of lyncb4ng. Spreading will be
given a speedy trial.

Cedar Mountain.

Brandy Station. Va, Nov. 2.-President
Roosevelt passed several hours this aft
ernoon on the battlefield of Cedar noun
tain. Accompanied by Secretaries Root
and COrtelyou and DR.. sRixey, the presi-
dent drove TO the site of the sanguinary
struggle and there received from an eye
witness and participant an accurate ac-
count OF the fight. The day was perfect
and the drive to the battlefield was as
pleasurable as could be desired.

taries Root. COrtelyou, DR.. Rixey, Judge
GrimSley and two or three ladies, ar
rived at the battlefield shortly after 3

is dotted here and there by monuments
marking the positions OF the troops dur
ing the fight. the contest was explained
to the president by Judge Grimsley, who
now is a member of the bench of this
judicial circuit. The judge was a captain
in the Sixth Virginia cavalry and was a
participant in the fight. The president, a
cavalryman himself, was intensely inter
eSted, particularly in the account of the
famous first cavalry charge made during
the battle Of Cedar mountain. The Union
and confederate cavalry met in de-
preston not far from Cedar mountain.
While the battle did not last long and
was brought on quite unexpectedly, it
was frightfully sanguinary, the losses on
both sides being about 800 The presi-
dent was notably interested in a monu-
ment erected last August, on the ami
Yersary of the battle, by the survivors of
the Twenty-eighth New York infantry
which lost in the engagement 50 per cent
of il Smen, including nearly every COM
missioned officer.
