SFOuuu IHdVeESSu ny Qlm anu muller.
The spot was an ideal one in which to-
commit such crime as it was hidden
from view of the nearest houses, and
had not Muller been able to drag
himself into the roadway, where he
was found, he might have died from
loss Of blood and his body laid there
for weeks, as none but cattle ever
penetrate the underbrush, and in that
event Lach might never have been
apprehended.
3Lach did his best to locate the hid
den gun, but could not, so a sys-
tematic search Of the brush and deep
grass was made by the hundred or
more men and boys who had gathered,
and just as, the search was about to be
abandoned it was found by Martin
Debach, showed into the soft earth
and covered with leaves. It is 3D.

, Theory of Crime.
9. Lach is a small man, being not over
FIVE feet two or three inches tall,
while Muller is nearly six feet and
sturdily built, which might account
for the shooting of the man in the
back if robbery was intended. 1t is
the opinion q: Of the authorities that
had Muller been killed outright, or
had fallen, that his money would have
been taken, but the failure of the at
tack probably unnerved Lach and he
fed. .< !
Crowds at Depot.
About $50 people were at the depot
Saturday evening to get a glimpse of
the man who had shot John Muller.
He had been taken off the noon train
at Steele by local officers on a rele-
phone message from here, and was
brought up on the IL p. m. train. He
was at once taken to the hospital and
identified completely by the wounded
man.
Dramatic Scene.
The scene in the sick ward was
dramatic, only the doctors, the sheriff,
D. +: McGillis and two newspaper men
being present. Lach stood at the
foot of the cot, and Muller's eyes
flashed brightly in his pale face as he
rose slightly and said with a hiss,
"That is the man; that is him; the
man who shot me-" In German Lach
said: 1. zzs..
1T is all a mistake; you do me
wrong; ! never shot you, for / had no
gum, T..
"He ies!" cried Muller. Look at
his shoes, they are patent leather; he
is the-man.'''
With darkened face and wicked
frown, Lach insisted it was all a mis-
take. 1. 5.s5 81 d. u.
Take him away; take him away,
he makes me sick. He Is the man. 2
almost shrieked Muller, and Lach was
hurried from the room. The sight of
the white face on the bed had rather
unnerVed the accused and it was
thought he might be induced to con-
fess the crime, SO was taken into the
dressing room and INTERCEPTED by
the sheriff in English and by DR..
Quain In German, but sturdily stuck
to the story that he did not have a
gun. did not go into the brush and
did not do the shooting.
Denied the Crime.
IN substance his story was that
after leaving the Home hotel satur-
day morning he and Muller went to a
blind pig on the south side OF the
track and drank some whiskey. After
ii time he said they LEFT the place and
he bid good bye to Miller In the road
leading to the depot and then he took

POLICE COURT DoiNGs.
His Honor Listened to Evidence in a
 Case of Theft This Morning.

Judge Peasley held city court to- day and the case that occupied the greater part of his time was against Monanato Paternosto for theft of ss1 from his friend Libro Polletta on Sat urday morning last. Pollotta was ac- customed to place his money in his pants nights and then put the latter under the mattress of his bed. Some time early on the morning of Satnr- day he felt someone tugging at the mattress and thought he smelled whiskey. He got up and in the kitchen he saw a number of men who room lin the house. which is s4 Canal street He saw the accused pass his room door and he accused him of taking his money. The man denied knowing anything about the matter and invited PolIotta to search him Pollotta ac- cepted the invitation and a one dollar bill dropped to the floor. The next minute the accused went to a clothes boiler and took therefrom eight ten dollar bills and handed them to Pol lotta
 Paternosto said that he knew nothing about the one dollar bill dropping to the floor and that he sav the money ia the clothes boiler as be vas having a drink at the sink.
 Psternosta was bound over to the su- psrior court under bond of $500 Henry Galway vas remanded ull tomorrow morning under bail oi s2o0 for breach of the peace

BOARD TAXES ACTION
Architect of Webster School Says
 Contractors Are Doing Poor Job.

The board of education did a good deal of business last evening in . snort time. Architect Leonard Ash elm entered grievance complaint against Chatfleld & Chatfield. the contractors who are building the ad- dition to the Webster school. He said that they completely ignored his orders regarding some of the work. me walls. he said, were out of plumb and ne ordered them taken down and rebuilt. Some of the work was done over, but the greater part of 1t was not. and some of that which was re- Duilt was absolutely no good. He rec commended that the board grant the builders ten days more leeway and if they snail not have complied with orders by that time, or shown a rea- sonaDie inclination to do so, the only thing to do would be to take the contract from them and have the WorK done by some one else for the money that should be now due the Chathelds. Though the work began some time ago. no payments have been made on it.
 commissioner Phelan said the work seemed to him the most abom- lnabie he ever saw. On his motion Clerk Fitzgerald shall notify City AL torney Kellogg to inform the build- CTS that unless the work that has been condemned shall be rebuilt within ten days, they shall be de- prived of the contract. There is now due them. or rather should be due them, $3,246.
 The resignation of E. M. Hauser. Janitor of the Webster school, on ac- count of i'll health, was received and an application for an appointment as janitor was received from James Ty- rell. He was appointed to Lincoln school. succeeding Janitor John Claf- fey who was appointed to the Web- ster
 Janitors Patrick Kelley of the Crosby High school and John Bevans of the Russell school were given an increase of $5 each in their salaries.

WARRINGTON AND I.

a little street Arab was Johnnie McGee,
Ragged and friend $50, .ud homeless was he |;
But Johnnie, tp<dgh ras. I'd. was clever and
bright, rr
And he kne the differences between wrong
and light
Nsw 1t ha ,pened one morning that johnnie
felt gay,
And ready aisy for all kinds of mischief and
His little strong arms were tossing up
stones,
Regardless OF danger to heads and to bones
But alas for poor Johnnie for what do you
Think?
1t happened that one stone, as quick as n
wink,
Went whack 'gaInst the window of Squire
BIS house,
And poor frightened Johnnie wished he were
mouse
To be able to hide In the FIRST hole he
found, .
And keep himself hidden away under
For the beautiful window was cracked right
In two,
And John. II discovered, would suffer he
knew.
But bark he hears music away down the
street
He knows there are soldiers he hears the
drum beat?
And Johnnie remembers whose birthday II
IL,
ana sudden resolve lights his pale little
phiz.
.'Thcy say Mr.. Washington nc'er told lie
When he was n little chap--ncither viii I !.
And maybe some day, when I'm grown up
and dead.
Folks will build big monument over my
head!
Only Just a few moments OF mute hcsita-
tlon,
Then. feeling M grand as the "TIead OF tho
Nation.'
In walked little Johnnie straight up to the
squire,
And while he was speaking his courage
rose higher.
And presently, when he was back In the
street,
Speeding after the soldiers with fast eager
feet,
"Hurrah - he cried gaily, "for Washington
and I.
For we are the chaps as would not tell
lie"

could get up in those awful war times.
$50 that was the way Waldemar came
to meet and love Elizabeth Map. At
first she would have nothing of him be-
cause he was one of those miserable
Germans that had come over to help fight
the colOnists,' but after she had heard
Waldemars story she changed her mind.
see, Waldemar, it's not your fault
that you are over here, under King
Georges banner-and, oh anyway, love
you" she cried, and so they settled It
right away that just as soon as possible
they would get married.
Only l want to stay in this country"
said Elizabeth.
This is the only country for me,
answered Waldemar. 4 love America,

his heavy sword across the youths back,
Fairly knocking him OF his steed.
