make himself at home, and that they
were getting up an expedition to 60 into
that country themselves. and that 1t
might be possible ne could go with
them. That suited young Hegwer ex-
actly. He made himself generally use
full in helping to dc the chores about
the plantation, milking the COWS, feed
ing the pigs and taking care Of the
horses and mules. That night about 10
o'clock came a couple of men with a
mule team. Hegwer went out and
helped to put up the team. There We're

examination, and asked him all sorts Of

said, II reckon that boys all right, and
we will let him stay. He will be great

Jack Thornton was tall, well-built
rather dark-complexioned Southern
man, and had black mustache and long,
black hair, almost reaching his Shout
ders. He was armed with two ivory
handled Colts navy revolvers and a
large 12-inch blade knife and a black
snake whip about five feet long. From
all appearance he certainly was the
leader of the gang. Mike Walden, the
other man, was short, heavy-set,

The Thaw Trial.

The Thaw trial dragged its weary
length thru the eighth week without
much apparent Roadway being made on
either side, and without dramatic Incl
dent. Jerome began the examination
of witnesses in rebuttal on Monday, and
after some trouble succeeded in getting
the court to allow the testimony of
James Clinch Smith, Mrs. Stanford
Whites brother. Mr.. Smith was pres
ent at the shooting of White, conversed
with Thaw on that occasion, and testi-
fed to the perfectly sane manner and
appearance of the prisoner at thai time.
The District Attorney tried to introduce
testimony to break down the story of
young Mrs. s'haw, but she is SO pro-
tected by the law that he accomplished
little or nothing in this. Six alienists
were examined by Jerome. all of whom
stated that they considered Thaw sane
at the time of the shooting. Jerome
called the noted Abe Hunmel, whose
name has appeared so often in this
famous trial, to the stand on Thursday.

admitting his evidence, and the unre-
hitting fire of Delmas's objections. be-

pre.erver of House the Betsy Ross.

To Mr.. George Candy. whose death
occurred recently in Philadelphia, are
we largely indebted for the identified
ton and preservation of the house in
which Betsy Ross, in 1875, designed and
made the first American flag. Mr.. Can
by was her grandson. and remembered
very clearly many of the stories she
had told him with regard to the histori-
cal events Of that day, and was able to
produce indisputable data proving that
the Arch st. house was the one in which
the Stars and Stripes was born. Mr..
Candy leaves an unfinished history OF
the flag, which if not published will be
at least preserved with the original
documents now in the possession of the
Pennsylvania Historical Society. Moth
ing relating to our beloved flag can af-
ford to be lost to Americans. Nothing
in its history should be allowed to rest
in oblivion. Everything should be done
to create in the young a sentiment of
interest and reverence for the flag, and
to intensity this feeling in those to
whom with advancing years it has
grown to mean so much.

Life Guards,

The Life Guards are two regiments
Of cavalry forming part of. the British
household troops. They are gallant
soldiers, and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the Kings
household, but yours, ours, everybody
should have its life guards. The need
of them Is especially great when the
greatest foes of life, diseases, find allies
in the very elements, as colds, influen-
"a, catarrh, the grip and pneumonia do
in the stormy month of March. The
best way that We know Of to guard
against these diseases is to strengthen
the system with Hoods Sarsaparilla-
the greatest of all life guards. 1t re-
moves the conditions in which these
diseases make their most successful at
tack, gives vigor and tone to all the
vital organs and functions, and imparts
genial warmth to the blood. Remem-
Der the weaker the system the greater
the exposure to disease. Hoods Sarsa-
parilla makes the system strong.

to go. They drove in the same direc-
ton thru the field and in a very mar
row path thru the woods, until finally
they came into sight of a dim light a
short distance ahead Of them. They
with foot bridge across 1t. There the
old gentleman stopped. got out of the
wagon and went in the direction of the
light. In a short time he returned, an
other with him, and introduced young
HegWer to him as a new member of the
gang. They each gathered up some of
the boxes and cans and started in the
direction of the light. Young Hegwer
was bound to see 1t all; tied the mules
to tree. gathered up box and fol-
lowed them.
To his great surprise, there he found
what he was looking for. A large log
cabin about so feet long, 20 feet wide,
with about 40 negro men and women
and boys IA or 15 years old, all chained
to the walls, their chains fastened
round their ankles, lying on beds Of
straw with some covering. They were
fed all they could eat and drink. There
were two guards standing over them
with whip and pistol in hand. AS soon
as the wagon was all unloaded they
started back to the plantation. Jack
and Mike arrived there about the same
time. They reported that they had
been followed by some spies, and in or
der to mislead them they had to go
way around, as they did not dare to
come directly to the plantation, for fear
of being discovered.
Next morning young Hegwer was
sent out to finish the blowing that he
had begun-the other end of the field
was near the road that went to Atchi-
son. There he wrote the letter to his
brother, stating that he was well, had
found everything necessary and was
expecting to leave for the South in the
next two or three days, handed it to
one of the drivers of team that was
going to town for to be mailed. That
night everything went as heretofore, and
all preparations were being made for
the start for the South. The next night,
nearly midnight. troop Of cavalry was
heard coming up to the plantation. It'll
surrounded the house, and the inmates
were all taken prisoners Young Heg-
wer escaped thru the back door and
hid out until the rest had been loaded
into q Government ambulance and
started for Atchisor. The troopers
were commanded by Bob Madden, First
Lieutenant. Co. B, 9Th Kan. Cav.
Young Hegwer took one Of the horses
that belonged to one of the soldiers that

The cabin was surrounded by the SOL

beginning, but soon saw that they were
overpowered and surrendered. The
negros were liberated, and the guards
were taken prisoners. BY this time day
began to break, and the whole process
sion began their march to Atchison.
About noon they arrived at the head
quarters, the prisoners were all taken
to Leayenworth and there tried by

A GANG OF NEdR0-THIEvES
They Are Broken Up by the Daring Of .
Eoy Recruit.

It was the 1st day Of April. 1852, that
Co. B, 9Th Kan. Cav, commanded by
Capt. A. c. Allen, was stationed at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan, and were ordered
to Atchison, Kan, on provost duty.
After the company arrived at Atchison
and went into comfortable quarters for
the Spring, the situation had been care
fully canvassed and the trouble fully
Investigated. It was found that a large
number of negros in that vicinity were
missing and that band of bushwhack-
ers had rendezvous about Is miles
east of Atchison, at one time great
slave plantation, who were suspected
of gathering them up for the purpose
of taking them into Texas and there to
sell them as slaves.
On the 10th day of March, 1862, Capt.
A. c. Allen swore in two new recruits
who had come in from the far western
part of the State of Kansas, known as
the Hegwer brothers. On their journey
they had many narrow escapes in max
ing their way from their home in Chase
Co., Kan, compelled to travel of night
and hide in the timber along the
streams in daytime. They were living

dicted himself, which of course weak
ened his testimony. A copy of this aft
davit was produced by Jerome. who
tried to have 1t admitted as evidence,
but Delmas said he had not decided
whether he would give his consent to
this or not Coming in the questionable
shape 1t did, he was not sure but his
case would be helped rather than
harmed by admitting it. He wished to
have an opportunity of examining it
first, however, and he therefore moved
to adjourn until Monday. Jerome says
that as soon as this matter Of admitting
this affidavit is settled, the people will
rest their case. When Delmas was
asked If the defense would rest also, he
replied emphatica1ly that it would not,
but he threw no light whatever on the
time he would consume in surrebuttal.
So the trial may go on for several weeks
longer.

Irish brogue; also armed with two re-
volvers, knife and whip.
The next morning when young Heg-
wer got UP he found no one on the
plantation but the old man and oldish-
like lady, apparently his wife, and an
old negro man and negro woman. Jack
and Mike had got up early, left the
about 3 o'clock In the afternoon.
Young Hegwer, after eating little
breakfast, hitched up the two mules,
and plowed a patch of ground for po-
tatoes, at the request Of the old gen
tleman. When Jack and Mike returned,
they had young Hegwer to feed the
mules and hitch them to the wagon
and drive them up to the house about
4 o'clock The wagon was loaded with
large cans of milk, cornbread. mush,
potatoes, fried meat and other eata-
bles Jack and Mike drove the team
thru the field in SC ltherly direction,
and did not return again until about
10 o'clock that night.
The next morning 1t was the same
thing over again; they returned about
the same time, loaded the wagon and
drove off in the same direction. When
they returned that night. Hegwer heard
them tell the old man that they had
made big haul that day. and had got
seven more. 1--WE will have to start
now in a very few days, as we have
about all we can handle"
The next morning Jack and Mike left
the same as before. When o'clock
came. they did not return; o'clock
came, and still they were not there.
The old man was getting very nervous.
He chewed his tobacco much faster
and he spit his juice much farther and
talked much louder He finally came
up to young Hegwer and said in trem-
bling voice:
Il reckon you and I will have to take
that food to them niggers. Jack and
Mike must have got into some sorter
trouble"
They started with the wagon, as It
