KILLED WITH SPIKE.
Such Is Present Belief About Death Of
Young John Streub.

Great harrington, Mass, July %
FL" belief Of the authorities that John
S!rcuh. the 12-ycar-old boy whose body
was found in tho woods near here last
Sunday. was killed by blows on the
head delivered from behind with q rail
road spike, was strengthened today by
IN examination Of the weapon found
near the body. Microscopic examination
Of tins spike showed minute spots Of
red which seemed to differ from the
rust with which the implement was
covered.
Two hairs, which are thought to have
come from z human skull and which
correspond in shade with the light
brown hair Of the dead boy were also
found adhering to the spike.
\ chemical test of the spots found
upon the Srikc will be made immedi-
atcly and it is practically certain that
the body of young Streub will be ex-
humed to permit Of more thorough
examination of his wounds
The summoning Of witnesses for the
coroncr's inquest. which will probably
be held Tuesday, was begun today.

THE "LITTLE MAN."
He Gave the Lady the Coveted Pass
and Later She Learned It
Was Grant.

A story was told, says T. F. Galway,
in the Milwaukee Sunday Telegraph,
a year or two ago in the south by a
Memphis gentleman, which, as it il
Illustrates Gen. Grants simplicity of
manner, is perhaps worth preserv-
ing. The gentleman's mother, a mid
dle-aged lady, during the war was Hv-
ing near Memphis when Gen. Grant
was in command there, and she de-
sired to go out beyond the lines and
return in order to visit an invalid
married daughter. She applied at
Gen. Grants headquarters and was
referred to a staff officer, who, after
having heard her case, declined with
rather grand manner and to her
expostulations merely answered, curt
ly: ''Impossible!" The lady was
downhearted under the circumstances,
as may be imagined, and probably her
countenance betrayed her feelings as
she was going out across the piazza
of the house that served as head
quarters for plain-looking little man.
apparently a hanger-on about the head
quarters, as she described him, wear
ing a private's blouse, accosted her
and asked if he could do anything for
her. She retold her errand.
wait a moment" said he, as he
left her and went into the house.
A moment after he came out and
handed her a pass, saying: Take this.
1t will pass you through all lines"
She thought it very kind, indeed, oil
this person to be at so much trouble
for her, and she thanked him cordially.
1t was not until she had reached home
had opened the pass, which was
signed ~. S. Grant, and shown IL
to her family and described the 'lft-
tie man." that she learned that il
was Grant himself who had befriend-
ed her.
