gentleman with a carpetbag come down
the steps at twenty minutes past 1. His
suspicious being aroused, the sergeant
followed the man, and with the aid OF
Constable Pollock succeeded, after a
most desperate resistance in arrest

daring and gigantic robbery had been
committed. Nearly e100, 900 worth OF
American railway bonds, with a large
amount of scrip in mines and other
companies, was discovered in the bag
On examining the premises the BODY Of
the unfortunate Waterman was found
doubled up and thrust into the largest

been discovered until Monday morning
had it not been for the prompt action
of Sergeant TuSon. The mans skull
had been shattered by blow from a
poker delivered from behind. There
could be no doubt that Beddington had
obtained entrance by pretending that
he had left something behind him, ana
having murdered the Waterman, rapid
ly rified the large safe, and then made
of with his booty. His brother, who
usually works with him, has not APP

HOW THE GIRLS
KEPT THEIR SECRET
(cyhicago News.)

There is a saying that a woman can
not keep a secret. Here is further
proof of its sOundness:
In the first place, Beth should never
have gone east TO live and work. While
she and her two inseparable churns
lived together they didn't try to keep
things from one another. Except for
the mysteries around Christmas and
birthday times they always threw their
knowledge into a common fund.
Beth, Nancy and Jane were the in
separable chums-three, until, like ths
away and then there were two.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-10-22

1t never occurred to the bereaved
ores that Beth would come back to
visit them this summer She only left
last February and, considering the cost
of railroad travel and her notorious
practice of enjoying today at the sac
rifice of money in the bank-or any
where else-any thought of seeing her
so soon would have been dismissed as
too wildly improbable. Nevertheless
the postman delivered this letter to
Nancy the other day:
Dearest Nancy: HuPah, 7 have
sold a picture-because il would just
fill the space above the purchasers
mantel and was marked down be
sides. OH my art, my art! But I
have the $50 and I'm coming to Chi
cago. Don't tell Jane.
II shall arrive next Saturday At
o'clock. Meet me at the station, and
well burst in on her. Think of IT,
Together again in the fiat! Only sea
that Jane stays at home Saturday and
don't leave this letter around where
she will see 1t. l simply must surprise
one o. you.
II know it's an extravaganza, but
I never dreamed OF selling that pic
ture. 1t was like finding $50, and 1 will
travel in a day coach-unless you write
that it would be foolish TO sit UP all
night just to save So.
Il shall simply stand on my head
until Saturday. Be careful about Jane.
Hurriedly, BETH"
That night Nancy radiated smiles
across the small dinner table. She felt
her ground carefully.

declared her secret unassailahle.

Nancy beamed mystery. "Don't ask

TREATING A SPRAIN.
Perfect Rest and Hot Fomentations
the First Requisites.

Perfect Rest and Hot lamentations
the First Requisites.
The question of how to treat a sprain
is often raised. Everybody under
stands the nature of a sprain; that
wrenching of joint whereby some of
the ligaments chose very useful bands
which unite the bones forming the
joint are violently stretched or per-
haps even ruptured. This kind of in
jury is rarely, except through unusual
complications, dangerous in its nature,
but 1t is certainly very painful and
when Of serious nature may result in
the permanent impairment of the joint
Such an injury, If at all severe, is i'm
mediately followed by marked swell
ing of the parts, and prompt attention
should be given anticipating the sur
geon's coming. The very first item in
the treatment O, a sprain is perfect
rest of the limb until doctor can be
summoned. Reduce the swelling by
applications of hot lamentations as hot
as can be endured, changing about
once in every three hours. If a piece
of oilskin be not at hand use common
newspaper. Wind it carefully outside
the hot cloth. This will prevent the
escape of the steam and prevent the
cloth from cooling. A good way to
save the hands from being scalded is
to place the hot, dripping flannel in a
towel, then, taking hold of each end of
the towel, to wiring it until the flannel
Is dry enough to apply.
