Grabbing the animal by the tail, the

Then the goods, with kimonos over

the cow with candy. Another brought
out guitar and endeavored to charm
her, or perhaps scare her. Still the
cow refused to move.

he got help and carried the COW bod

TURNS UP AFTER
FOURTEEN YEARS
MAN BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN
MURDERED GREETED BY
OLD FRIENDS.
MODERN ENOCH ARDEN TALE
Body Thought to Have Been His Had
Been Identified and Buried by
Relatives - Alleged Slayer
Proves Abb.

Fairfax, Mo.-When Jacob A. Funk
alighted from a train at Skidmore,
Nodaway county, and greeted and was
recognized by his old friends he was
as one who arose from the dead, and
could also have enacted the part of
Enoch Arden, for the Phillip Ray"
and his wife still reside in the town.
He could even have done something
more startling than this. He could
have been taken to the cemetery and
been shown the grave in which his
body was supposed to have been laid
more than dozen years ago. He did
not do this, but left on the first train
for Maryville, where he suddenly APP
peared before his sister, Mrs. d. S.
Holmes, who felt that she was con-
fronted by one from another world.
The story that forms the basis of
these surprises and complications is
a somewhat peculiar one, dating back
IA years. In the spring of 1894 Jacob
A. Funk, "a years old, and Frank
Ridge, who was few years younger,
were farming on shares near Skid
more. Early in April Funk left home
in a rickety road cart, ostensibly for
the purpose of buying seed potatoes.
He did not return, and after many
days his friends decided that he had
left the country, or that he had been
killed. A search revealed nothing, and
in August Ridge disposed of his share
of the crop to the mother of the miss
ing man and went to Kansas City.
More than year passed, and early
in December, 1895. fragments of hui
man body were found hanging to a
tree in ravine in Atchison county,
about six miles west of Skidmore.
Other bones, an old valise and some
pieces of clothing were found on
the ground nearby. Attention was at
once directed to the disappearance of
Funk, and some of his relatives were
sure that the body was his. His aged
father said that he could recognize

GETS FIRST BATH IN 80 YEARS.
Tramp Objects So strenuousIy That
He Is Promised Many More.

Marysville, O.-The first of series
of tortures for James Hines, a hobo,
began at the county Jail the other day
when he was given bath. Not since
childhood has Hines known the watery
embrace Of tub, and he fought furi-
ously when Sheriff Belenbaum and
his assistants arrived with soap and
towels.
Hines was arrested for breaking
into schoolhouse, and was sentenced
to 30 days. 1t was apparent that Hines
had not known the efficacy of soapsuds
for very long time, and when the
sheriff asked him how he would like
to scrub his cuticule the tramp said
that he had constitutional objections.
For something like 30 years he had
gone unwashed.
Shouting with rage, Hines was i'm
mersed, and while two men held him
third applied stiff brush.
The prisoner was informed that he
will be given bath every "a hours
for ten days.

the skull by reason of the fact that
one cheek bone was higher than the
other.
The suspicion was aroused that
Jacob Funk had been murdered, and
the question of finding the murderer
came up. Suspicion pointed to Ridge,
the partner, and Sheriff Shackelford,
of Atchison county, went to Kansas
City and placed him under arrest.
The warrant was issued by Justice
Proud. of the township in which the
skeleton was found, but Ridges at
torney took a change of venue and
the case was sent to Fairfax Here,
December 26, 1895. the preliminary
examination was had before Justice
Blevius and Justice Wilson. More
than 60 witnesses had been summoned,
but only 13 were examined.
Ridge proved that he had spent
the night previous to Funk's disap-
pearance at Quitman and came back
to Skidmore on train that arrived
shortly after Funk had started. AS
he worked all that day it was shown
to have been impossible that he could
have committed the deed.
A year or two after this Mrs. Funk
was married to James Gibbs of skid
more and they still reside at that
place.
As indicated by the testimony
brought out in the trial of Ridge, some
mystery seems to be connected with
Funk. Since his return he talks free
ly, only he refuses to explain why he
left so suddenly, merely saying that
he had cause for it." He also re-
fuses to tell where he has been and
what he has been doing. 1t in some
way came out that he had been living
In Iowa for the last six years, and 1t
is apparent that he has been prosper
Gus. His reticence extends not only
to his warmest friends, but OF his near
est relatives.
The fact being fully established by
his return that the body found hang
ing in Atchison county was not that
of Funk, the question as to who IL
was who was hanged or who commit
ted suicide, is being asked.

He Confessed to Stealing Money

criminal tendencies, for 1t was In con-
nection with his newspaper work he
perpetrated many of his most daring
burglaries.
Jones confessed to looting class
rooms at the academy, stealing money,
wearing apparel and school supplies.
These thefts were fully described by
Jones in articles he wrote for news
papers. From drug store he stole
5000 in cash at different times while
telephoning stories to his newspaper.
His success along this line prompted
him to take partner, and he invited
his schoolmate, Ashley Lock, consid-
cred one of the brightest students in
Utica academy, to join him.
Others among the students also
went into the criminal combine about
this time, according to the confession
of Jones and Lock, and the scope of
their thefts was considerably ex-
tended. Jones and Lock robbed the
home of contractor residing next to
Jones own home. Jones wrote q
thrilling account of the burglary.
Next Jones and his band turned
their attention to the newspaper Office
where he was employed. They stole
the pay envelopes of his fellow work
men and incidentally his own. Jones
and his companions used the proceeds
of their thefts to speculate in the
stock market.
