ever, were not daunted and went into
! the heavy smoke without hesitation,
entering both rear and front windows
on the third floor by means of ladders.
Fireman Ed Guest was overcome by
the smoke and tried to make his es-
cape by the stairway falling and being
dragged down two flights Of stairs to
safety on the street He was revived
in a few minutes and was little the
worse for his experience except for a
blistered hand.
The heavy stream from the hose
nozzles swept through the thin parti-
tons and after a time subdued the
flames, though the entire building
from top floor to cellar was flooded,
the damage from the water being al
most as heavy as from the fire.
During the progress of the fire a
large part Of the furniture on the first
floor of the building was taken out
though in a damaged condition The
loss on the building, which is the
property of Andy Sellars, will proba-
bly, reach $4,000 with $4,000 insurance
in company represented by Mora B.
Fariss, agent Mr.. Sellers also owned
part of the furniture, his part not
being insured. The remainder of the
furniture was the property Of j. P.
Hood and was insured for $500 with
the Columbia Insurance Agency. The
loss on the furniture from fire and
water is heavy.

ter with an az and then cut his own
throat with a razor. He is represent.
ed as likely to recover.
The tragedy occurred early this
morning in the extreme northwestern
part of the city. Duffy lived at the
home of his son, Fred Duffy. He
had been on the verge of violent in.
sanity, it is said, for weeks for re-
ligious enthusiasm. Last night he
attended a religious meeting and
worked himself into a frenzy. When
he arose this morning he was SUDDEN.
ly seized with a desire to kill Sc
curing sharp bladed ak, he stealth
lily entered the bed room of his son,
while the latter lay asleep. He crept
close to the side of the bed, and,
raising the weapon aloft, brought il
down with terrific force across the
neck Of the son. The head of the
victim was severed completely from
the body.
With maniacal shout, Duffy
rushed from the house and down the
street, waving his bloody weapon.
Reaching the house at Ash Northwest
Lake avenue, where his wife and
daughter resided, he opened the front
door and entered. Mrs. Ada Lacomb,
the daughter, with her mother, was in
rear room. Proceeding cautiously
to this room, the murderer opened the
connecting doors. Mrs. Lacomb stood
with her back to him. Without a
word of warning, he swung the az
and cleft his daughters skull. Her
whole head was crushed in from the
blow.
Mrs. Duffy fed throught a rear
door, closely pursued by the maniac
striking at her with the ak. The
woman succeeded in eluding him, but
not before she had received a severe
cash on the elbow from the az swung
by Duffy as he chased her.
Duffy then walked to the street /
where he drew a razor and sIashed
his own throat.

Mail, May s. The NJ f. Woods hotel at
the head of Main street is rapidly nearing
completion. The building is the largest
in town, two stories and contains ten sleep
ing apartments. The dinning room is 24x

F.. V. Carter and J. ID. Foran have pur-

ment of his meat market a large ice box
Its dimensions are 14x16 and it weighs T.
400 pounds. To accommate the ice box
it was necessary to raise the roof and add
strickly up-to-date and as nicely appointed
as many of the city shops.
The school land on which the town is
now located is advertised for sale, the sale
to be held June 25th. The northeast quar-
ter on which Marmartll is now situated is
appraised at SIS per acre, the northwest
at SIS and the south half at Sro. In the
purchase of school lands title is not acquir-
ed ordinarily until twenty years, but if the
townsite company bids this land in they
doubtless pay in advance the interest on
the several payments which extend through
this period, thus acquiring clear title i'm
mediately. Nothing definite is yet known
concerning the time of the lot sale here.

He was evidently satisfied, for he
turned again to his notes.
Bingham reports that his pair show
ed all the affection of bride and
groom. The husband kissed the wife
when he left her in the morning and
ing"
docs he say that he kissed her in
the dining room, in the hall and in
the vestibule? Does ne say that she
waved to him from the Window"
"Well, no; he doesn't say that"
"And that ne went back for another
kiss?"
"Nor that either.''
"Then why does Bingham assume the
couple to be newly married?"
Fright you are. l fear Bingham is
not up to such delicate work as this"
"Thc question is, Are the people
have been shadowing the pair that left
N. on the a. NJ. train on the eth? 1t
Is known that that couple had been
married two weeks. I struck them on
the 81. l have given you the best of
evidence that the Gradys have been
married but three weeks. Therefore
that one condition is fulfilled; there
fore they are the guilty couple"
"Hold on, there! You're a genius at
observation, but don't quite get on to
your logic"
''Do You wish conclusive reason for
assuming them TO he guilty?'
IF you have one"
"Well, neither of them likes children
saw sweet little girl approach them
with something to sell. The woman
said, Get out!' and the man swore at
her."
"And your connecting links for your
inference?'
ut is possible for man to dislike
children and be honest, but a woman
who could turn against dear little
child would commit most any crime"
The chief pondcrcd a few moments,
then said:
"You have given me two entirely diff.
fercnt kinds of evidence. The first
showed remarkable power of deduc-
ton; the second seems to me to be alb.
surd."
ITO me the second is all important.
Arrest the Gradys. They committed
the crime"
"Have you any other reason for
thinking so?'
mo; don't want any other reason"
"That will do. You may go.''
The Gradys were arrested and con-
victed. After the trial the chief sent
for his subordinate who had Swallowed
them and said to her:
'"The reason you gave me for think
ing that the Gradys were guilty must
have had some unexpressed connection
with other reasons. Can you explain
It to me?"
II had no reason except the one
gave you.'
"1And that was enough for you?'
"Quite enough. 1t would or should
be enough for any woman"

"Well. saw the wife pour out a

The husband drank the other half"
"Well?"
