Greenwich is charged by the Mexican

Stanfield, an American citizen, who
went to that country with him in 1902.
Marshal Christian was accompanied by
United States District Attorney Lewis
Miles, who preferred the direct charge
against Greenwich. The papers were
made out by United States Commits
sioner Bush and the prisoner was given
& preliminary hearing by him after the
arrest had been made. Efforts were
made by Attorney Ely 20 keep the man
here, but after having brought habeas
corpus proceedings he Withdrew them
on the promise of Attorney Miles that
he would endeavor TO secure an order
to have the man remain here until red
Cisition could be arranged with Mexico.
When arrested Greenwell wore the
watch which Stanfield had owned, and
he admitted that 1t had been the prop
|erty of the latter but said he had traded
with him in Tennessee. He said that he
had been in Knoxville, Tenn. with
Stanfield. and that they lad started to
Mexico together. Later, he says, they
separated, and Greenwich claims that
he heard nothing more from his friend
until the news of the finding of his dead
body in Mexico reached him. AS soon
as the rumor came that he was sus-
pected. he claims that he went to Mex
leo, gave himself up, WAS kept in Jail
there for seventy-two days and then
allowed to go, as there was not suffi-
cient evidence to hold him. Greenwich
was born in Rock Island, and naturally
drifted back to his old location. He
has a wife, but no children.

Ready For the Attack.

A young Malay officer on the coast
of India was one night returning from
inspecting an outpost when he began
to suspect that tiger was following
him. 1t was dangerous to proceed, as
any minute might bring an attack in
the rear, and so he paused and made
what preparation he could for the en-
counter. He had a sword at his side
and a creese in his belt-a weapon re-
sembling dagger.
Having scraped away the earth to
give himself a firm footing, he knelt
on one knee and kept a sharp lookout,
knowing the beast was near. Soon he
perceived the animals glittering eyes
and knew it must be creeping toward
him like cat.
The moment of suspense was a ter
rjble one, but at last it ended, and
the brute made it's spring. Its charge
was, however. received on the creese
which went through the animals
breast, stabbing it to the heart, SO that
it fell mortally wounded.
In its dying struggles it tore the
flesh from the young fellows arm, but
did him no mortal injury. AS for the
victor. he calmly rose and went into
camp to report his second tiger slain
that year.
