ing invitations TO drink hereafter. 4
well known lumber jobber who had
just transacted some business with him

ment. and he accidentally took out the
wrong bottle. The business man took
q drink, and, being surprised at the
taste, he looked I the bottle and saw

An-Vound Tough Citizeo Tells the Sheriff

Coldwater. Mich, June 24.-Sheriff
Buck heaves a great sigh of relief,
now that he has Earl Broughton, the
robber, horse thief and general des-
perado safely off his hands. Just be-
fore leaving the jail the prisoner dis
closed TO the sheriff, for whom he
seemed to have formed an attachment,
plan that he had only PAL TALLY car
ried out, whereby he had expected to
escape. In a window casing he had
dug large hole and had lined Ii with
soap to make it hold liquid.
Here he expected to explode a guam
tity Of nitro-g lycerine, for which, with
the necessary fuse. he had made all
arrangements. but which. for some rea-
son, had failed to reach him before
he was taken to Jackson TO begin his
sentence of five years, He fully ex-
pected to blow out the north wall Of
the Jail.
On the wall of the jail corridor
BrOughton wrote the following, adj
dressed to Judge Yaple, who sentenced
him for his last crime: MAY your
skin rot, your flesh drop from your
bones, your bones from your body, and
your soul fall out and split on the
rock of damnation, and the fragments

MIR. Springer Is a man OF considerable

those who know him. and. taking every
thing into consideration, there has not
yet appeared the faintest shadow OF any
motive he might have had for committing

And now come the questions: Who was

Mark Bentley? What was his business at
Burrville? The most careful inquiry has

the strongest circumstantial evidence OF
the guilt of Boyd Springer, and yet the
absence of all tangible motive and the
very mystery which surrounds the iden-
tity OF the supposed victim, as well as the
circumstance OF his strange disappear

so singular a character as TO furnish no
basis for a conclusion except that founded
on conjecture
Many of the citizens confidently ex-
pected that the body of the missing
lodger would be found in the river, but
n careful dragging of the stream failed
to fulfill these expectations.
Meantime handsome Victor Laney
was using every effort TO solve the mys-
terry and had, in his own name, offered
q large reward for information of the
whereabouts of Mark Bentley, but all
to no avail.
When the day set for the preliminary
examination of the accused arrived, the
little courthouse was crowded to It's ut

ious to catch every detail of the mys-
terious case.
Several witnesses were called and eX-
amined, but the evidence failed to
bring forth anything that was not al
ready familiar to the public.
However, when Detective Peel asked
to be placed upon the witness stand a
ripple of excitement and expectancy
went through the crowd. He asked to
be allowed TO make statement of
what he knew. His first words created
sensation, and n low buzz of excite
ment went through the courtroom.
There has been no murder commit

alive and well. / have discovered his
whereabouts. And facts that have
come 10 light show clearly that the
prisoner is the victim of a conspiracy"
In proof of this statement the detec-
tive produced a false beard and wig
which Bentley had worn while staying
at the inn. He stated that he had
found them in the garnet over the room
occupied by Bentley They had been
thrust through a small ventilating aper-
ture in the ceiling, and with the beard
and wig was found a dead cat which
had belonged to the innkeeper and
from which the blood found in the
room had been obtained.
Here the detective paused in his state
ment, then added:
Il have caused warrant to be is
sued for the arrest Of the conspirator,
who is now present in this ROOM"
This announcement produced a Won
derful sensation in the courtroom, and
some one tried to rush through the
crowd to the door. He was not sue
cessful, however, for he had not taken
a half dozen steps when the consta-
ble's hand fell heavily on his shoulder,
and that official said:

Victor Laney and Boyd Springer were
cousins. On account of his dissipated
habits Victor's guardian, wealthy
bachelor uncle had disinherited him,
making his will in favor of his nephew
from the west who through his own
eXertions had elevated himself from a
poor boy to a man of education with a
useful profession.
Laney could not get over his disap-
pointment and plotted revenge. Learn
ing that Springer was coming to Burr
vile at a certain time, he laid his plans
carefully to bring the young lawyer in
to disgrace and disfavor with the old
uncle, who was sure to hear Of the
charges against his favorite.
a young woman whom Victor Laney
had deceived had tracked him from
Baltimore. In a meeting which they
held in one of the private rooms Of the
Blue Dragon the woman had demanded
hush money.
Peel in an adjoining room overheard
enough to give him the right clew,
which he was not slow to follow up.
