While the nation has been spend

any circumstances there willalways

few narrow belts that fringe the

half Il mile to two or three miles

growth of willow and bushes, but a
forest in the true sense of the word.

with cottonwoods, many of which
measured three feet in diameter.

Naturally, the hardwood was the

that was gone years ago. Little by

So far everything seemed to confirm
Tullio's simple theory. Two days after
the discovery Tullio set out from Venice
with his sister. the countess, intending
to go to Switzerland. A doctor and the
children went with them On the way Tul-
lilo showed wound and had it dressed.
The doctor may have been of an inquir-
ing turn of mind. At any rate Tullio
blurted out that he got the wound in an
encounter with the count and that it was
he who slew him. Then he left the train
and set out for the Balkans. The coun-
tess proceeded to Switzerland and Ger
many.
Tullio was gambler and a spend
thrift, a writer of some talent, and a So
cialist. He is man of great physical
strength and violent temper, with low
tastes. His most creditable trait is love
of his family. After wandering about
Switzerland and Germany Tullio gave
himself up at Ala eight days after his
father told the police The same day
Rosa Bonetti was taken
In the tangle of this miserable drama
and its dreadful eliminating tragedy, the
main inspiring influence was the count
ess' love for DR.. Secchi. 1t married the
happiness of her home, >estranged her
husbands love, and led her on to con-
sent to the violence of Tullio, possibly
led her TO urge him to the crime. 1t was
Rosa Bonetti's overmastering passion
for the gambler Tullio that took her into
the maze of crime and made her one of
the prime instruments in the execution.

Rooster Attacks Bow

Kearney, N. willie Dobson. three
years old, son of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Dobson, was seriously hurt in an en-
counter with a rooster The bird
made savage attacks on the child and
drove its spurs into his face. The at
tack took place in front of young Dub
sons home. The child was under a
wagon which was left standing on the
street when the rooster approached
and attempted to get under it. The
boy, who had long been afraid of the
bird, saw him coming and was at
tempting to get away when the rooster
attacked him.
