children.
The harp, as has been said before.
was made by Nodermon, and stands
nearly two meters high. The precious
instrument has seven pedals, while
all the earlier harps have no more
than five. The strings are tuned
over again by hooks, the construction
for which became characteristic of all
the harps Of Noderman. while the ma
chinery represented the highest de-
gree OF mechanism of the time. The
upper part of the column is adorned
with beautiful gilt. There are plenty
of certificates proving that the harp
really is genuine.
The present owner of it is not rich
enough 10 keep the precious histori
cal instrument for himself, so he has
at last decided to sell it. The Conser
vatory at Moscow has offered $4,000
for 1t, yet Mr.. Bangenberg has found
the sum too small. Now he intends
to find a buyer in America. Marie
Antoinette's harp will soon be sent
from Sweden to New York, where It
will be on exhibition.

Cottage Grove Man
Died Yesterday From
His Injuries
Assaulted and Robbed New
Years Day, He Dies From
the Effects Of the
Beatirg

The Daily Guard Saturday printed
a dispatch from Cottage Grove to the
effect that Fred Gale, a cripple, was
horribly beaten by thugs and robbed
Of $s2 early Friday morning, while he
was alone in his cabin at Cottage
Grove.
Word was received by Sheriff Fred
Fisk this morning that Gale died
from his injuries last night. The
sheriff left on this afternoons train
for Cottage Grove to investigate the
matter. Coroner G. B. King being
i'll today, he sent word to Justice
Vaughn, of Cottage Grove, to conduct
an inquest over the mans body. The
inquest is being held this afternoon.
Badly Mutilated.
When his neighbors found Gale on
New Years morning he was uncon-
scious, his nose was broken, his face
and head badly mutilated, and there
was large bruise on his chest It was
thought that the blow on the chest
caused his death.
The Murderers.
It is not learned hore whether or
not a clew has been obtained TO the
murderer or murderers.
Gale had recently sold out his har-
Aess shop at Cottage Grove, and was
supposed 10 have quite a sum OF mon.
Oy about his cabin, but IL seems that
he had placed the money in a bank,
or had otherwise disposed of IL, as the
thugs only secured the $32 as re-
ported.
May Be Local Men.
While many people believe the
story that the murderous assault was
made for the purpose Of robbery, 1t is
reported that there is a strong belief
in Cottage Grove that the murdered
nan and others at that place had been
thinking, and became engaged in a
row with the aforesaid result. In that
ease the killing may be laid at the
DOORS Of a number OF Cottage Grove
men.
However. this is mere conjecture.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury may
throw some light on the case.-Eu.

tends to degrade the whole process

abroad a belief that an, American

are cunning gamblers, who make a
study of the situation, and by betting
both ways, at varying odds, insure
themselves against loss. However,
the biggest offers OF bets are merely
of a bluff nature. and would be with
drawn in a hurry were there any dan
