was splitting wood and the scratches
on his face were made by a cat. He
still denies he is the owner Of the
bloody shirt and declares the suit he
wears was bought year ago. he
persists in his assertion that he was
at his home at the time the murder
was committed. All this in the face
of the evidence which has been secur-
ed by the police that the scratches
were not made by cat; that the
shirt has been identified as one sold
to Martin by a second hand dealer
under peculiar circumstances which
impressed the sale on the second
hand dealers memory and that his
wife says she first saw the suit the
day after the murder and that he was
not at home when crime was COM
mitted.
Public sentiment has undergone
something OF change toward Mar
tin and in many quarters degree OF
sympathy is felt for the unfortunate
ldrug slave, irrespective OF whether
| he committed the crime or not. The
ipublic's expectation was that a man
who would be arrested for the crime
would be of the low-browed, brutal
visaged type, not a man once OF repu
tation in the world in which he lived
and once soldier who, while in the
pursuit OF his duties, acquired first

which brought him to his present de

Captain McKenna, OF the derelct
steam schooner Minnie E. Kelton'
living in the lower harbor at this port
in charge of two men from the steam
er Washington, is expected here to-
day to make such arrangements as
may be practicable in the interests
of his owners. Yesterday, the vessel
was visited yesterday by Captain
Albert Grove, surveyor for the
Board OF Marine Underwriters, OF
San Francisco, and he found that she
is in a badly waterlogged condition,
due in a great measure to her having
struck her stern on entering the port
and smashing her rudder-post, but
that she is not beyond ready and
complete rehabilitation. Capt Grove
also took look over the British shil
Kelburn, preparatory to her docking
at the Tongue Point Mills, and founc
her to be in excellent shape.

UNEARTHING OF
 AN OLD CRIME
Human Skeleton Found Under Chicago Tenement Gave Rise to Theory That It May Have Been Another One Of Mrs. GunneSS' Victims.

Chicago, May 24.-What may have been a murder, committed quarter of century ago, was revealed yester' day by the finding of a number of dis jointed bones of human skeleton bur jed two feet under ground in the base ment of rickety old frame tenement house of TIT North Curtis street.
 The bones were discovered by work men engaged in raising the house. At first some of the neighbors advanced the theory that the bones were that of a victim of Mrs. Bella Guness, the LaPorte murderess, who formerly lived within three blocks of the house under which the bones were found This is extremely improbable, however, as the bones have the appearance of having been buried anywhere from p to 3o years, according to a physician who ex- amined them.
 The most plausible theory to account for the presence of the skeleton was advanced by Charles Halverson, an ex- pressman who lived in the neighbor- hood since 1863
 Halverson asserts his belief that the bones were those of Edward Beck. who disappeared from the neighbor- hood in 1881 under mysterious circum- stances. Beck's disappearance aroused -Wueh comment among the neighbors who hinted openly that relative had murdered him.
 In order to bury the body under heath the house it was necessary to dig a sort of a tunnel from the back yard under the foundation of the build ing

IMPORTANT NOTICE!
 should be read carefully by every who reads the
GRAPHIC or any other newspaper.


 We desire to call the attention of all subscribers to paragraph of Section 436 Postal Laws and Rcgula tons:
 "A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to se renewal of subscription, but unless subscriptions expressly renewed after the terms for which they paid within the following periods: Dailies, THREE MONTHS, weeklies within NINE MONTHS, they shall not be counted in the legitimate list of subscribers and copies mailed account thereof shall not be accepted for mailing at secondclass postage rate
 The foregoing law is self-explanatory. It makes it absolutely binding the Graphic to stop every sub scpton to the Graphic that is past due nine months and every daily subscriber that past due three months less renewed within reasonable time. The regulations went into effect January 1908 but owing to the fact that previous notice had been given publishers have been granted reasonable time to notify all such subscribers and give them chance to renew before stopping their paper.
 Hence, earnestly call upon every one of our sub scrbers who past due to either call and settle mail the amount to extend his subscriptions required by the Post-ofice department.

Olive coming in from Round Noun

was a purely business one, but it de-

THANKSGIVING TO
BEGIN SINKING

Ore has been struck in the east
drift of the Thanksgiving at the $50
foot level The ledge was broken
almost directly under the high-grade
shoot that was discovered at the sur
face last spring. At some point near
where the ledge is being broken, ii
is expected there will be found a
chimney of extra rich ore. This
drift will be extended along the
ledge to the contact.
The management will begin sink
ing another 100 feet February LIST.
1t is the purpose of the company to
thoroughly explore the Thanksgiv-
ming ledge, to even beyond the 500
foot level with all possible speed.
The treasury has ample funds for
the purpose.
Assays taken across the four-foot
face OF the east drift yesterday gave
a return of S56.42 in gold.
When il is remembered that the
three westerly drifts on the 236'
2S6 and $50 foot levels are in a
uniform body of ore 81 to 3 feet in
width, running from $50 to the
fancy figures, some idea of the flu
ture productiveness of the mine may
be had
While sinking the main shaft, thu
blocking of ore will be carried OF
