that before his death he was endeavor-
ing To make out his losses or winnings

\ minute examination of the circum-
stances served only to make the case
more complex. In the first place no
reason could be given why the young
man should have fastened the door
upon the inside There was the poss-
bility that the murderer had done this
and had afterward escaped by the win
dow. The drop was at least twenty
feet, however, and II bed of crocuses In
full bloom lay beneath. Neither the
flowers nor the earth showed any sign
of having been disturbed. nor were
there any marks upon the narrow strip
of grass which separated the house
from the road.
Apparently therefore it was the
young man himself who had fastened
the door But how did he come by his
deathf No one could have climbed
up to the window without leaving
traces. Suppose a man had fired
through the window, he would indeed
be a remarkable shot who could with

Why Barney was .Ioired. ,.

they called him Barney the BIunderer
because he made so many mistakes. He
had been working for a coal dealer abonr
six months and was an earnest. honest
soul, but he did not seem to learn any
thing concerning the details of the busi-
ness.
One morning, after having delivered
coal to two wrong addresses, he was
rather short and crusty in answering q
regular customer. so the proprietor dis
charged him. saying: Go to the office
and get your money I've been as
patient with you as I could be- but you
are too thick headed to ever learn any4
thing
''All roight, sir" answered Barney;
"mebbe Ofm tick headed, as yez say,
but Oi've learned on ting, anyway
If you really have learned one thing
and learned it well III not discharge
YOU" said the proprietor, banteringly.
Now tell me what you have learned -
"Orve learned, sor, that seventeen
hundred makes a ton in this place." re-
piled Barney. and he went back to work.

BUTCHER IS IN TROUBLE
C. s. Hanmen Exposed Red Squirrels
for Sale.

A half dozen red squirrels swinging
in the breeze by their tails from a
hook in front of the meat market Of
c. S. Hammell of 500 East Fourth
street are causing the proprietor of
the place all kinds of trouble. Deputy
State Game Warden J. J. King hap
pened along about the time that they
were swinging their highest and they
looked like ten dollars to him and he
forthwith filed complaint that the state
game laws were being violated.
Mr.. Hammeu appeared before the
judge of the city court this morning
and the assistant county attorney, after
characterizing the law as a fool one
asked that the case be dismissed upon
the payment of the costs by the de-
fendant.
Mr.. Hammel agreed to this supposing
that the costs in the case would not
amount to more than three or four dol
lars. He went to the clerk of the court
and when he was told that the costs
in the action amounted to $3.50 he
was willing to do most anything else
than pay them. The result is that the
case is set for trial the 18th of the
month. If Mr.. HammeI is convicted
the fine may be from five dollars to one
hundred, and costs, to which must be
added ten dollars which will go to the
prosecuting witness.
