Scientists Give an Explanation OF
Parker CrucinS Image.
NEW YORK. Aug. S.-Seyeral scien-
tiGc authorities who were questioned
as to the possibility Of lightning having
impressed an image on The back Of
Abbott Parker were inclined to credit
the story in all its marvellous details.
The body of human being struck by
lightning becomes, they said, to all
practical purposes negative, and in
this state the flesh is very apt to as
sumo forms or figures of any objects
near 10y at the time of exposure.
In this case the young mans coat
and undorclothing were probably not
removed until he was taken to the
hospital. His back was at that time
sensitive and subject to the impression
of any object held near it. 1t is not
unlikely. il is thought. that sister Of
charity, the hospital being a Catholic
institution was standing near, with n
crucifix around her neck, as is their
custom. In this way II Is not at all i'm,
probable that as soon as the young
mans back was exposed the cruclfix-
ion was photographed upon his skin.
Many cases quite as remarkable as
this, experts say. have been reported
before and to students of the subject
the phenomenon is not Mt all perplex-
ing.
Modern electrical experts say an image
might be formed not only at the time
Of the stroke but even some time after
the stroke. There was no cross any
where in the vicinity so far as known,
but It was still daylight when the un-
conscious young man was removed to
the hospital, and as his back was ex-
posed in light room II is very likely
that the flesh was still SensitiZed to the
extent that it could still receive the
impression of crucifix from either "A
cross around nurses neck or from a
painting on nearby wall.

members of the board. The high school
pupils then sang America" being as
sisted by all present. Rev. whitman, of
the Presbyterian church, invoked the
Div ne blessing upon the structure, and
the exercises closed.

tion with all possible speed. and hopes to
have it ready for occupancy by the first
of August, or by the first of the follow
ing month at the outside. So far as pos
sible material and help will come from

Her condition last Sunday indicated

Death Of a Former Resident.

Johnny Trathen received word this
week that w. II. Martin, who left this
place for the old country a year or so
since. had committed suicide in a field
near his home in Cornwall by cutting his
throat with pen knife. The news comes
as a shock to the numerous friends OF
Billy, who remember him for his kindly
traits aud good deeds while a resident Of
this city and vicinity. His early demise.
however, was expected, as he was in the
last stages sf miners consumption. and
which was the cause of his leaving for
Cornwall. II was known that he wss
very despondent, as was clear in the last
letter received from him by Mr.. Trathen,
in which he said there was no hope and
he wished that death would end his suf-
ferings. Prior to leaving this cisv, de-

property for good-sized figure, enough
to keep him in comfort through years Of
life. but he was too far gone with the
insidious disease to think of augbt else
than the vain search for health. He
served this city as night watch some
years since and was then elected mar

equal to the various duties. For years

A Career Of Crime.

The career of crime marked out by Azel
Galbraith which eliminated in the
cruel murder of his wife and boy has no,
parallel in the west and the shocking
details are all too horrible to relate. A
brief recital will suffice. Galbraith, a
well known mining man, and for some
time past foreman OF the Topeka mine in
Russell Gulch, had loug been addicted to
drink and had become enamored of n
woman living in Denver. Last week he
forgery, and while in Jail admitted to the
officers that he had murdered his wife
and boy at the family home in Russell,
and told where the bodies might be
found. Abou, month ago the Cal
braIth home in Russell was partially
vacated, the story being circulated that
Mrs. Galbraith and the boy had gone on
a visit to relatives at Fort Collins. Inves-
tigstion of the home confirmed Gal
braith's story, the bodies of The victims
being found in a bed, and their condition
showed that the deed had been commit
ted several weeks ago.
Galbraith evinces no remorse for his
crime, and duplicates no other person.
He was taken to Central City Thursday
night for his preliminary hearing and the
exteme penalty OF the law will be meeted
out to him as soon as the law can get
action. A mob Of several hundred peo-
pie gathered at the depot when the muir
derer reached Central and the same
night demand was made on Sheriff
Cody for the prisoner, but after a deter
mined stand taken by the officer, the mob
dispersed.
Galbraith was frequent visitor to this
city and is well known to a number of
our citizens.
When arranged in court yesterday,
the murderer pleaded guilty to both
charges of murder saying that to the
best Of his remembrance he committed
the deeds. In many circles the wording
of his plea is but subterfuge upon which
to establish an insanity excuse. But so
long as the law is expeditions in hand
ling the case the people will allow the
matter to take its course, but are in no
hunor to admit of any delays.
