James ls. according to the In
formation on which the Indictment

possessor of at least two wives In

He is also charged with a more
serious crime than bigamy, that OF
abducting and wronging one OF his
girl pupils, Miss Lille Midget. The
girl is now in Shenandoah county.
She will be taken back to North
Carolina to testify against the man.
AT Manteo, In Dare county, North
Carolina. In tho summer OF 1906,
James was engaged in teaching
school. Among his pupils was Miss
Midget. The man became infatu-
ated with the girl. He obtained n
school at Atlantic City, N. c., and
induced the parents OF the girl TO
allow her to accompany him as his
assistant. The girl seems to have
been completely under his subjuga.
tion and control. Their relations
soon became such that further con-
ceeiment was impossible. In July.
of the present year, he and the girl
disappeared. Just where they went
Is not known. They we're recently
located, and the man was appre-
hended at Shenandoah.
Sherin II. ID. Lyman, armed with
the proper requisition papers from

rived in Richmond yesterday morn

session or the prisoner. He left for
Shenandoah during the day and Will

Tail WAS ALMOST
SEVERED FROM BODY
Brutal Decd Was Committed early
Christmas Morning--Fifteen stitch
cs Necessary to Sew mp the Cash
Suspect Under Surveillance.

AS late as IL y. m. on Christmas
eve, Mr.. w p. Hawley noticed that
his favorite cows was In the lot ad-
jacent to his house taking It's feed
which was as usual placed in the
trough for It's use. Being busy
night Mr.. Hawley did not close up
his store until the early hours OF
Christmas morning and as n conse-
Quence was not an early riser, but
about a. m. his wife called him
out of bed. stating that their favorite
COW was all cut up and bleeding to
death. Mr.. Hawley got into his
clothes as quickly as possible and an
examination revealed the fact that
one OF the finest cows in Bluefleld
had been numerically slashed with
a knife. The tail had almost been
severed from the body aud a CHASTITY
cash made in the milk sack, neces-
stating fifteen stitches being put In,
wonderful. however, 60 relate not n
milk duct had been severed by the
fiend who welded the knife In such
brutal fashion and the COW is likely
to be in just as good milk producing
condition as ever within a few days.
The foregoing was not the only
atrocity OF like nature committed
on Christmas eve. or early on Christ
mas morning, two other cows were
mutilated In a like manner, by
some fiend. II is supposed the per-
petrator OF the crime must have been
under the influence OF liquor or else
have personal spite against Mr..
Hawley.
The police got their information
too late in the day TO make proper
use of the blood-hounds. but Il is
affirmed on good authority that the
party who is accountable for the
fiendish crime is being kept in close
surveillance by the police and will be
arrested at the proper moment.

a gOodly concourse OF dogs around

arose between a woolly white dog
and a woolly. black dog he stopped
in and the trouble just naturally
stopped.
Fourteen dogs rof sS sorts. sizes

street and must evidently have been
discussing the COW ordinance I'm dog

mass meeting resolved itself into a
committee and took charge OF those
cows, driving them down Raleigh
street at spirited pace, to the evil
dent consternation OF the colored
driver who was following some
squares in the rear.

A GHAsTlY FIND IN
HACkINsACK MEADOWS
The Victim Evidently a Woman OF
Refinement as Evidenced by RE-
cent scrupulous Toilet and Such
of Her Clothing as Was sube-
quently Found.

Newark, n. j., Dec. 27.-A MUIR
der, combining the elements OF mys-
terry and deliberate cruelty was COM
mitted in the Hackensack Meadows.
In the town of Harrison, yesterday
and the nude body OF the victim. a
comely woman of perhaps 80 years.
was nearly submerged in the icy
waters of little pond. Only the
foot projecting when chance passers-
by broke the ice I'm which the ex-
posed portions were encrusted and
dragged the body ashore yesterday
afternoon.
The dead woman was finely feat
ured, her hair and nails gave evil
dence OF a recent scrupulous toilet,
and such of her clothing as was sub
sequently found suggested in texture
and style an owner Of refinement.
The pond into which the body was
thrown is caused by the overflow OF
the Passaic river and is directly
across the river from this city.
The body had not been identified
last night, and 1t was pretty well
established that Il was not that OF
resident OF this city or Harrison.
Two men, who occupied yacht near
where the body was found, are de-
tanned by the police. but the most i'm
portant clue obtained was furnished
last night by Peter Coogan. a watch
man employed by the Marine Engine
company, who recognized the body
as that of a woman whom he had
seen crossing the meadows in com
pany with a man early yesterday.
Later he saw the man alone. He
then carried a bundle I'm his arms.
The man was short and stout.
Coogan, whose duties keep him in
the neighborhood OF where the body
was found. told the police:
While out OF doors at 2 O'Clock
this morning saw the woman, I'm
company with man. Cross the
meadows, going in the direction of
the pond. They pg5sed Son near ut
was able to reco Inize the woman's
features. Some time later, perhaps
an hour, the man returned and again
passed me, this time going In the di-
rection from which the two had come
when I first saw them. This time
the man was alone. III mis- arms he
carried a bundle Srfi:.il he did not
have before. In build he was short
and thick set"
Two girls who were returning to
their home in Harrison long after
midnight yesterday morning heard
woman's cries Heating over the
marshland. They seemed to come
from the direction Of the pond and
sounded like spare met" and
"help!" Nearer home the girls we're
approached by well-dressed
strangrer, who accosted and followed
them until they met policeman,
when he turned and fed. The girls
had good view OF the man under
an electric light, and while he was
well and neatly dressed, his hands
showed either that he was accus-
toned to manual labor or had re-
Gently been engaged in work that
soiled his fingers.
