WILLIAMSBURG, VA, March 49,
The preliminary hearing Of j. j. Bailey.
first charged with the abduction OF
Miss Willis from tho asylum. which
was to have been held before Mayor
Warburton to-day, was postponed until
tomorrow at 12. Bailey Is being rep-
resented by the firm of Jeffries & Law
less, OF Norfolk. Mr.. Jeffries arrived
hero this morning, and 1t was owing
to his objections that the trial was
postponed
The court met at IL o'clock to hear
the case. Mr.. Jeffries Immediately
asked that the trial bo postponed, as
he had been thus far unable to secure
stenographer in Williamsburg, and
that he would need one IL his client
should be sentAo the grand jury. His
request was granted, and the trial
postponed until tomorrow at ~
O'clock.
Mr.. N. l.. Henley, commemorative
attorney. moved that the case be tried
before Justice Armistead, as the crime
had taken place outside OF the city
limits, anl his motion was sustained.
Several witnesses were called before
Justice Armistead this afternoon and
recognized to appear before the court
Tomorrow. The warrant was also
read.
This Is the first definite idea of the
case that has been given to the public.
Tho case seems now much more So
rious than It was thought to be. ami
the citizens are much wrought up over
the affair. In fact, public Indignation
has reached a high point. and the PEG
pie are Demanding that the guilty ma,l
be found and punished. Sentiment has
also turned somewhat against Bailey
1t Is now thought that the Common
wealth has more evidence than has
been shown
One charge against Bailey was
stricken from the warrant-that OF
abduction. This shows probable
weakening in the Commemorative
case. Guard Henley Sweeney. Of tn.

SHELDON'S MINE

From what Tom had said Bart judged that
he had brought the two men, who were un,
doubtedly the same ones who had attacked
them in the pass. back with him to wreak
vengeance on the guide.
Alter they captured him, however, 1t oc-
Cured to Tom that Bart and his companions
must have found gold near by since they had
been in that vicinity so long, and his cll-
pidity outweighed his desire for revenge. lie
had lashed Bart TO the tree, and then, by
promising to spare his life, had tried to, force
the secret from him, as the reader already
knows.
But they'll be certain to discover the place,
for they know that it must be along the range
somewhere" said Kirk, anxously.
They'll find it in time; but I'm in hopes
that we can lead them on wrong scent, 90
that we can be sure Of having week or two
in which to work the vein, and perhaps il
will peter out before then"
"But it won't; it's growing richer all the
time" said Dory; and then he told the guide
of the new pay-streak they had found.
"Then we must locate our claim, and let
some of the miners from the Cliff into the
secret. With few of them to help us, it
wouldn't take long TO wipe that gang out"
said Bart, decidedly.
"And that will spoil the whole thingl' and
Kirk s tone was almost petuant, as he thought
they would be obliged to share their rich
find

ing in each others footsteps, so near together
that their garments were touching, the three
stole away from the hut. quickening their
movements as they increased the distance be-
tween themselves and the outlaws, until they
were almost running and BaTts deliverance
was an accomplished fact
After they had left the encampment a mile
behind, Bart led the way straight down to
the valley, and there for brief while the liz
tie party halted.
Boys, you've just done big thing for me,
and shan't forget it," said Bart as he turned
and took each of them by the hand. "Thc
thing. has been carried out as neatly as tie
best hunter could have worked it, and | shall
always remember who saved my life, for Tom
Weed meant what he said"
Were somewhere near even, them" said
Kirk, laughing for very JOY at the complete
success OF their plan. you got us out Of
Toms clutches once, and now we've done the
same for you"
"But there's heap of difference between
the two. l didn't run much of risk, anil
you did"
"Well, whether you ran any risk or not,
this capture Of yourself was but the outgrowth
of it,, said Dory, determined that the guide
should have full credit for his rescue of them.
''If you hadn't come after us then, Tom
wouldn't have followed you here"
Perhaps he wouldn't" said Bart, thinking
it was useless to argue the matter further.
''If either one Of you has got anything to
eat, | feel as if | could do better justice to
it than any other man in Colorado"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-21

In another instant Barts hands were full,
the bows giving him nearly all they had, for
they knew that he had been without food,
save to the amount of two hard biscuits, from
the time he had left the mine.
As soon as Bart had eaten the provisions,
he started off down the valley, moving direct
ly away from the rayine. and Kirk called out
'Why are you travelling in that direction
Aren't we going back to the mine?,
"NOt vet awhile, at all events. Of course,
our friends will follow us, and it wouldn't be
exactly wise to show them the way to the
place they have been SO anxious to find. We'll
fool around down here for day or two, and
then we may be able to give them the slip :.
BY walking in the valley near the belt of
timber they were enabled to keep on Rin a
straight line, even though it was them Quite
dark, and Bart, in answer to questions from
the boys, told the story of his capture.
He had gone down the valley, when he hrst
left the mine, keeping within the shelter OF
the trees, and taking especial care to avoid
leaving a distinct trail behind him. He ha ]
halted where the boys found the empty cart
ridge shell, and while there had succeeded in
bringing down one of a herd of antelope that
had come to the pool to drink.
The road agent and his friends must have
visited the place for the same purpose, for
when Bart went out to secure his game he
was confronted by Tom and his companions,
who had their weapons leyeled at him.
Resistance under such circumstances would
have been worse than useless, and Bart was
quickly made prisoner

file until day began to break, when they sought
the shelter of the woods.
Here Bart did all he could to prevent trail
from being left. He led the way from one
rock to another whenever that was prac-
ticable, and when it was necessary to walk
on the ground he cautioned the boys to be
careful how they stepped.
In this manner, going first directly up the
mountain and then down, making long cir
cles, or in a zigzag course, he kept on until
Dory, utterly exhausted declared:
cts no use, Bart; | cant go any further,
for l am thoroughly tired out, and it seems
almost as if would be willing to let Tom
Weed catch me, il by that means l could get
drink of water"
"You shall have some tonight, and when
you have had a nap you won't feel SO thirsty"
said the guide, cheerily, 'Ill help you along

There's. no chance that Tom Weed will give

CHASED BY sPooK TABLE.
An Amusing Adventure of Gabriel
d'Annunzio.

An amazing adventure of the poet
Gabriel d'AnnunziO, who was chased
by a spook table, is related by the
Messangero of Rome, Italy. This
newspaper declares that Sig. d'Annun-
zio often goes to the villa of the Mar
quis Clement Origo, near Florence, to
attend spiritualistic seances. During
his last visit, small table, from the
studio of the painter CorOs, was used,
and the spirit in response to an invi-
tatiOn to declare itself, answered in
the conventional manner by rapping
on this piece of furniture. The spirit
introduced himself as that of a gen
tIeman who was killed recently in a
motoring accident and Immediately
proceeded to make the most damaging
statement against d'Annunzio, who,
with his friends, at first smiled, but
later began to show obvious uneasi-
ness. This troublesome spOOk was ac.
cordingly switched off, and a second
invoked, but matters only became
worse, for the table seemed to be
imbued with the most violent animos-
ity against the poet. 1t moved stead
lily in his direction, and finally leaped
at him with such violence that he was
thrown against the wall. The Mar
quis OTigO, having calmed the table,
asked the spirit for its opinion as
to d'AnnunZiOs literary merit. All
smoke" came the answer, smoke
which will be speedily dissipated. 8"
The eXperimenters then decided to
call the spirit of a lady who died not
long ago, but the statements made by
her were such that the Messagero To-
Trains from publishing them, adding
that the poet is about to issue a state
ment in reference to his remarkable
adventure.

PROTECTS KOREAN FORESTS.
Japan Is Applying Latest Methods to
Husband Timber.

Washington.-Luke E. Wright, Unit
ed States ambassador to Japan, has
forwarded to the state department de-
tails of the cooperative agreement be-
tween the Japanese and Korean gov
ernnents outlining a plan for the use
of forests in the Yalu and Tumen val
leys. The plan is similar in many
ways to the methods of the United
States in developing the national for
ests of this country under the admin
istratiOn of the forest service.
The decision of the Japanese gov
ernment to apply methods of forestry
to the use of the forests of Korea is
given especial attention because it is
said that the matter of large timber
concession by Russia to a corporation
was one of the ulteriOr causes of the
declaration of war between the two
countries. Before Korea came under
the rule of Japan its timber resources
were being rapidly depleted by waste
full numbering.
Japans plan for the management of
the timber lands of Korea is to estab-
lish in the next five or six years nine
model forests in the neighborhood of
the cities of Seoul, Pingyang and
TaikU. The capital for this enterprise
is about 100000, one-half of which is
to be furnished by the Korean govern
ment.
