OLD WOMAN SHOT
AT PRESIDE
In Search For Her Murderer
Another Brutal Crime
HQs Revealed.

John Lyons and James Moore, broth
ers-in-law, have been indicted by the
grand jury Of Clay county, W. Va,
for the murder of Henry Hargis, which
is supposed to have occurred twelve
years ago, says Charleston (W. Va.)
correspondent. Hargis disappeared
and was believed to have been murder
ed for his money. The years passed on,
and the incident was almost forgotten
until brought to mind by another MUIR
der and what grew out Of it.
About four years ago Mrs. Lucy Ann
Boggs, eighty-four years Of age, who
lived in the neighborhood Of Moore
and Lyons, quarreled with Mrs. John
Lyons and when angered said she
could light her pipe and before it burn
ed out could 80 to the place where the
ashes of Henry Hargis were. A few
nights afterward as she sat at her
fireside she was shot in the back by an
assassin, who fired through the WIN
dow.
Mrs. Lyons, her friend, Mrs. Harvey
Samples, and her brother, boy named
Fred Moore, were arrested for the mur-
der of Mrs. Boggs. In getting up the
evidence against them the threat made
by Mrs. Boggs was recalled, and that
brought up the Hargis story.
A detective went to work on the case
and found out that Caroline Moore,
sister Of James Moore, had also been
talking. What she said recalled that
little girl living at Moore's house at the
tine Hargis disappeared had told a
story about Moore and Lyons bringing
something to the house in sheet and
putting it under the floor.
The child is now a grown woman.
No attention was paid to What she
said. When the detective learned Of 1t,
however, he thought enough Of it to
search under the Moore house. There
he found what appeared to have been
a grave, and in it he discovered bits OF
bone that seemed to have been burned,
tufts Of hair, collar and cuff buttons,
the latter bearing the initials Of Har-
gis, and small pocket milestone with
the missing mans name.
The case came before the grand jury,
and among other witnesses was Caro-
line Moore. She broke down and told
all she knew. She said she had been
wrapped up in sheet by her brother
and Lyons so she could not see and
that they had then left the house.
Presently they returned, but in the
meantime she had gnawed a hole

First Sight of a Train.

s'Now and then one hears of people
who have never seen locomotive or a
train of cars, but these people are be-
coming scarcer as the time passes, until
they are almost as renote as the legend.
ary heroes of the olden times" said G.. T.
Bruce of Roanoke, Va.
"a few weeks ago, however, it was my
fortune to notice the actions of grown
man who had never seen train or heard
the whistle of an engine or steamboat.
1t was in little village in Kentucky, near
the wild mountainous districts inhabited
By the moonshiners, and this man had
been arrested by the revenue men. He
was being taken to place for trial, and
at the village where encountered the
party his first trip on the cars was to be-
gin.
"Suddenly the train whistled not more
then a quarter of mile away. The
moonshiner jumped nearly three feet and
stood like an animal at bay, his head up
and his nostrils quiVering with astonish-
ment. And in few minutes the train
rolled in. The man from the mountains,
as the engine passed the platform, became
as one bereft of reason. Down to his
knees he dropped, and with his manacled
hands extended in gesture of supplica-
tion and with tightly closed eyes, he broke
into fearful prayer to be saved. He had
to be carried on board, and was nearly
insane during the trip. From his wild
rawlings we gathered that he thought the
end of the world had come"

Foot Race Shifted His Heart

SH1PPESsBURe, Pa, May 30.-Burd
Duke, of this place, died last evening
after lingering illness and remark
able experience. About 20 years ago he
took part and won in foot race, but as
result of his exertion his heart is sup
posed to have changed from the left to
the right side and he fell exhausted at the
end of the race. Since then he has been
a great sufferer.
Last night post mortem was held by
DR.. E. S. Berry, in the presence of the
other doctors of town, and his heart was
found on the right side, and his stomach
in the place where the heart should have
been on the left side, and grown fast to
the left lung.
He was about 45 years of age and a
man of wonderful endurance. 1tis ques-
ton whether there is similar case on
record.

The Boy in Patches.

A country exchange asks: "What has
become of the boy in patches?" And then
answers it thus: Why, bless your soul, he
is out on the farm hopping clods sixteen
hours day. He will come to town after
a while to run the banks and the stores
and be the successful lawyers and preach
ers and physicians. Don't worry about
the boy in patches. It's the slick-looking,
store-clothed, nicely groomed lad you
want to inquire about. He's the fellow
that's going to drop through a crack in the
sidewalk out of sight one of these days.

Don't Let the Boy Loaf.

Parents, what are you going to do with
that bright boy, the very apple of your
eve, during the long summer vacation:
asks an exchange. You say that he is
run down and almost prostrated from
overwork at school and needs rest in
order to recuperate? Well, that may be
true or it may not-very few school boys
ever overtax their mental faculties.
Would it not be best to give him some
nroftable employment in order to keep
him away from bad associates who will
lead him into pernicious habits that sap
the energies Of mind and body. e. Do n! not t
honest bootblack should be more respect
ed than the timekiller, loafer and idling
dude.
