Retired Farmer and Owned Property
In Fremont.

Fremont, June 15.-(Special)-
Montoyne, aged rs years, well-to-do
and highly respected retired farmer.
who had resided at Fremont for sew.
eral years, was found late Saturday
afternoon lying dead in a timber tract,
his death having been caused to all
appearances by heart failure, from
which he had been suffering. Although
an investigation was made it is i'm
possible to find any indication of fou.
play or of suicide, and it is not thought
that ceroner's inquest will be held as
the two daughters of the dead man,
who came to Fremont Immediately up
on being notified of his death, are sat
isfied that his death was entirely nat.

farmers within a short distance of
where his body was found on Satur-
I day He left the road near where
these people saw him and started
through the timber on short cut for
Fremont and it is here that his death
occurred This accounts also, for the
i fact that the remains We're not found
until so long after his death.
Mr.. Mintoyne had gone about
800 or 400 yards from the road
through the timber when death over
| took him. From all appearances he
was stricken suddenly and died almost
instantly. When found the body was
/ face downward on the ground, with
1 the hands beneath it, as if the man had
been walking and had fallen suddenly

Like magic ne Topped down and

Like magic ne asopped down and
arrived opposite the window.
A pair of arms shot out and seized
him; Airline was on the watch and
much distressed lest something should
happen to him.
And Charlie was thankful enough to
crawl in through that blessed window;
his first act was to take her to his
heart and exclaim:
God bless you for brave girl.
Keep up your spirits and we will
cheat the old monster yeti"
She answered him with a rare look
Of confidence and trust that made him
stronger than ever in the resolution
to dare all for her sake.
What advantage had been gained?
They were one fight nearer the
earth, but the danger still menaced;
this floor, like all others, was given
over to the riotous flames, and to halt
here meant the same inevitable end.
Charlie did not mean to stay.
Given time, he might have found or
constructed rope by means of which
he would have lowered Airline to the
ground.
That would have been glorious, but
the seconds were too few; and, be-
sides. on looking down he saw the old
enemy bursting out from the windows
near the basement.
Some other plan. then, was needed.

FOR MONUMENT TO MILTON.
Admirers of Great Poet Quarrel About
the Site.

A movement is on foot to erect a
monument to Milton in st. Giles
church, London, where the poet lies
buried. Objection to the site selected
is made upon the ground that it is not
sufficiently conspicuous and that the
statue should stand in Westminster or
st. Pauls. 1t is being urged by some
that as Milton built himself "a monu-
ment more lasting than brass" there
is little need of a memorial in his
honor To others it appears that the
church in which the poet lies buried
would be an extremely suitable place
for such a piece of statuary.
