About RefrigeratOfS

A great many different ideas
exist as to what constitutes the
best insulation for refrigerators.
The Belding-Hall people, who
make the line we carry, have CIV
en- the matter a very thorough
study, and after many investi-
cations and experiments with
filings, have found nothing SO re-
liable and satisfactory as mineral
felt, glued on each side of a dead
air space.
Mineral felt is a combination
of mineral wool, asbestos and
hair felt. BY using this filing
not only are the walls of the re-
frigerators we handle insulated,
but the door and lid as well. This
is a very important feature, as a
door or lid of a refrigerator be
ing always exposed, requires
equal, if not better insulation,
than the walls. y
This filling possesses great adj
vantages over other filings, from
the fact that it cannot settle in
the walls, leaving the ice chamber
unprotected, nor can it sift
through the joints, soiling the re-
frigerator, as in the case of pow
dered charcoal.
These practical and essential
pints, taken together with the
fact that in test the Belding-Hall
people made with their leading
competitors, their refrigerators
producing a lower temperature
with an equal amount of ice,
proves conclusively that the Beld-
ing-Hall people have the best re-
frigerator in the market.

NJ. Matthews sent for Mel Tay-

they arrived they were given the
tracks in the woods. One of them,
Cthe mans track led through
the woods to the top of the hill

hounds followed the track led
back across the hill toward the
river. The other one, (the wOm-
an 81 led through the woods to the
top of the hill and back to the
house. The hounds followed the
track through thousands of fresh
er ones into the house and up the
stairs where Mrs. Blackstone was.
The woods were on fire in almost
every direction from the scene of
the tragedy and this prevented the
hounds from trailing the man.

Mrs. Blackstone is a woman of
about 80 or 80 years of age and

ad the most damaging evidence
against her is her former troubles
with her husband, and the attempt
on one occasion to employ a man

MURDER REpLETE WITH y
SHOCKING DETAILS
Henry BIackshere's Death Was Most Brutal and
Has Attracted Statewide Attention. Mrs.
Blackstone Suspected of Being In Con-
spiracy That Resulted In the Awful Tragedy.

They said something just after
they shot, but l don't know what
lit was. There was only one shot,
and the men never offered to hurt
me or my mamma as we came past
them. Mama said one of them
grabbed her at the door, but |
didn't see him. | only saw one man
good. He was a small man, that
is, he wasn't very large. The
other man was on the other side
and l couldn t see him good. There
was some one in that corner, hold
ing a lantern that just threw the
light in one direction. Mama
showed me in front of her and
told me to run or they would kill
us, too. Then we ran down to Mrs.
Shroyer in our night clothes.
The prosecuting attorney then
asked the boy if the shot gun and
revolver were loaded, and
his reply was that they were :;
that they always kept them that
way. He then asked to get the
revolver and show it to the jury.
He did so and it was found to
have one chamber empty, and had
other evidences of being fired
recently. Mrs. Blackstone has
sworn just a few moments before
that the revolver had a load or
two out of it.
Would Have Used It.
When the little boy was asked
what he intended to do with the
gun if he had got hold of one of
them, he replied: Il was ex-
cited and had just woke up, and
don't know what l thought at
that time, but / expect | would

over to Stump's Mills in the
morning and on her return, she
sent her little girl over to Henry
Jeffry's to stay all night. She
also sent her son Denver to go
part of the way with the little
girl. Denver says that when his
mama came back from the store,
she asked Lena if she didn't
want to go over to Jeffry's and
stay all night with them. Being
answered in the affirmative, she
sent her, and told Denver to 60

returned soon. not going as far as
he intended to 90, and found a
Mrs. McCrosky at his home, but
that his mother wasn't there. He
said they waited about an hour,
and becoming afraid that some
thing had happened to his mother,
he rang the bell for her and in a
few moments he saw her coming
out of the woods. She explained
that a hawk had caught one of
her small chickens and she had
followed it into the woods, hop
ing to make it drop the chicken.
Her tracks was taken and follow
ed and it was found that she met
a man in those woods and had
quite a long conversation with
him.

it harmed some one but did not
tell him what it was, required
The strictest secrecy, even OF what
she had said to him. Another
thing that looks bad is her re-
luctance to tell anything of the
tragedy. All her answers were
very short, everything She told
having to be dragged from her by
the prosecutor. Another thing
that looks bad is her seeming in
difference to the tragedy. In the
presence of the corpse of her muir
dered husband she exhibited not
the slightest emotion. The gen
eral public, as well as the prose-
cutting attorney, are very sorry
that the one who should be the
most anxious, and is the best wit
ness for the prosecution should
be loath to give evidence against
the murderers. but who instead
appears to want the matter to
remain a mystery

How It Was Done.

How It Was Done.
1t occurred on Wednesday night
I of last week. The men, entered
his room, dragged him out Of bed
ad into the front room, dis
tance of ten feet. Then while he
was in a sitting or Seml-slttlng
posture a revolver was placed at
the top of his head and fired,
death resulting almost instantly.
No remark was made by the muir
derers except when they first ap-
preached the bedside. At that time
they called to Mr.. Blackstone to
throw up his hands or give up his
money. He replied that he had
none. Then he was grabbed, drag
ged out of bed and into an adj
Joining room on his back, and the
deadly bullet was speeded on its
journey.
Now the above is the substance
of the story that was told by Mrs.
Blackstone.
Nearly every one of the many
people who had gathered there be-
| lievps that Mrs. Blackstone knew
who the murderers were, and that
she had planned the murder, and
those who didn't agree to this
theory thought that she had done
the foul deed herself. alone and
unaided.
The darkest mystery surrounds
this black tragedy, and convict
| ing evidence will be hard to Sc
cure unless a great deal more de-
velopes than did al the inquest.
The Sons Story.
Besides Mrs. Blackstone there
was only one other present on the
night of the tragedy, that being
her son. Denver, who IS a bright
boy of 13 years. His story, while
it does not entirely agree with
his mothers, was considered
straight. When asked by Prose
cutting Attorney Matthews to tell
the story of the tragedy to the
jury the little fellow told the story
about as follows:
"The first thing | saw when L
woke up there was some one had
hold of papa and dragged him out
here on the floor. 1t seemed that
papa was trying to say something,
but couldn t understand what 1t
was. Mama was up when l got up.
I ran for the shot gun but mama
caught me when I was almost to
it and jerked me back into the
room. Then / started to get the
revolver which was in a stand
drawer, but again mama caught
me and wouldn t let me have it.
The men were then pulling pa
right out here on his back. They
had hold of each of his arms and
his head was raised up off the
floor. Then he kind of raised up
like he was sitting, and they shot

What Motive?

The motive for the murder
could not have been robbery, as
Mrs. Blackstone would like for
the public to believe, as the men
never gave Mr.. Blackstone a
chance to give up what he had,
nor did they take what money
and other valuables that were in
the house. Her purse and her
two sons purses, containing over
$50, were in the same room but
were not touched. Mr.. Blackstone
carried $1,000 life insurance, pay
able to his wife, and $500 accident
insurance payable to his children.

HABEAS CORPUS
 HEARING TODAY
VoLUMINoUs TESTIMONY OF JUS TlcE COURT SENT TO
 TOMBSTONE.
Is Now in Hands of Judge Doan-lt Makes Over 17o Pages-Thouqht sauvage Hearing Win Be Concluded By Judge Today.

The attorneys in the Sauvage case will leave the city this morning to go to Tombstone. The habeas corpus proceedings will come up there before Judge Doan today.
 The evidence in the case, as heard before Justice Mcdonald, was sent to Judge Doan last evening, and will have been perused by him in all probability before he calls the case today. The stimony makes an exceedingly bulky display. There are over 170 type written pages. The task of trans cribing the shorthand notes in which the evidence was taken was a labori- ous one. lt was not finished by the stenograpber. Miss Smith, until yes terday She has as yet been unable to revise the work. As a consequence it went to Judge Doane without being sworn to as an absolutely correct re. port. Justice Mcdonald. however. read the testimony before it was sent away and was able to say that it was correct in all essential features.
 The attorneys going to Tombstone today are doing so prepared to make a desperate fight. The outcome can not even be guessed at. though it is the opinion that the court will reach decision today. The outcome means that the Sauvages will either be given access to bail or that they will re- main in iail without bail until the next grand jury eonvenes.
 With the evidence sent to Tomb stone yesterday were sent three photo
