Murder. Committed how
and when?

Last Wednesday morning the
BODY of a man was found at a
point about three hundred yards
east of the local stock yards, and
within a few feet of the COM
panv's tracks. When discovered
only one foot of the body was
visible and the remainder was
covered up with clnders. The
body was in a decOmposed con-
dition and beyond recognition.
The coroner's jury was unable to
arrive at any decision as to the
identity of the man. That murder
was committed there is little
doubt or else the body would not
have been covered up. 1t is stat
ed that wagon tracks were Wis
ible near the body, which might
indicate that the body had been
brought there in a conveyance
from some place around here. AS
there is no one missing here, and
no means of identifying the
corpse, the local officers are with
out any clue to work upon.

ire at Williams

Friday morning about $3.50 a.
m. fire broke out in the store of
the Babbitt Brother Mercantile
Company at Williams and before
being gotten under control had
DESTROYED all of the property in
the block east of the Babbitt es-
tablishment including the post
office, the Palace Restaurant and
several other places of business.
The property loss will amount
to at least $4,000 which does
not include the stock of the vari-
Gus merchants. The Santa Fe
were fortunate enough not to
suffer any loss, the employees at
Williams rendering effective assis-
tance against the blaze.
Freight business on the Santa
Fe shows every indication of a
revival in business throughout
the country. During the past
week two freight crews have been
added to the first district COM
plement and two on the third
district. Another crew Will likely
be put on the second within a
short time. One additional helper
engine and two through freight
engines have been put on the
third district and it is expected
another engine will be put in the
through freight serv ice within a
few days Altogether the out
look is quite encouraging regard
less of the result of the president

Are you versed in Mozarts musical effu-

head, and said: emo, but admire them,"

admire-so suggestive that my heart beat

She selected two sheets and paid for them.

closer around her, took the package and came
towards the door. [ opened it. She passed
out onto the sidewalk. I followed closing

was looking in the direction from whence she
had come. I said to her: "Will you allow
me the honor of escorting you?" With grace
full bow she laughingly replied, eyes, if you
please" Side by side we walked along. Not
knowing her name I felt awkward, embar-
raised. For fear Of offending her, like re-
fined Northern gentleman would, by hurting
out, "Gal, what's your name?'' I thought,
and almost knew, she felt as awkward as I
did. I had card in my vest pocket. To
relieve her gave her the card, on which was
her name on the back of the card, then
handed it back to me- I took it, and saw
only the four letters which spelled "Boyd "

federate scout and spy, and heard her name
spoken frequently in our army; even received
orders relating to her. I said EEThe full

itively, and quietly said: "Bell." 1t was
now my time. I was astonished, and said:
"Who, Bell Boyd? The scout and spy?' She
nodded eyes," and called my attention to
a large plate glass show window in dry
goods store. She made some comments about
things she saw in the window

so awfully smart and wise, so I said "You

street. After dining l went onto the side
walk and stood there looking for my general
quarters. While looking I saw a lady ap-
preaching on the sidewalk, on the opposite
side Of the street Imbued with my Northern
ideas Of courtesy to woman, I at once ceased
looking for my generals quarters, and gazed
intently at the lady.
She was blonde, with auburn hair, her
ceuntenance expressing good deal Of firm
ness and intelligence; we'll built and grace
full in her movements. Her appearance to me
was nearly angelic. She went into news

but [ instinctively crossed the street and
went into the book store. Saw her standing
by the counter, looking at some sheets of
music. [ do not know why, but I felt de-
termined to, in some way, get acquainted
with the lady. In a business-hke way I
stepped to the counter and said to the clerk,
"Have you any Bibles?" He laid some Bibles
and Testaments on the counter. The Testa-
ments were nicely bound, on the covers were
gilt letters; the leaves we're gilt edge. I
pickd up Testament and asked the price
The clerk said: "Thirty-ive cents" threw
a quarter and dime on the counter. With
Testament in hand I approached the lady and
said: "Madam, perhaps you have time to

Chaste, honest, sincere, Christian, brave,
courageous. These words mean a great deal
and are very unpopular subjects to write
about these days, because unknown and
buried in the prevailing element of greed.
Yet we will represent them all by South
ern lady, who possessed their attributes, who,
in practical way, defined their meaning.
That lady's name was Bell Boyd, designated
as the famous Confederate States scout and
spy during ante-bellum days.
To identify the writer will say: He was
born in the then hamlet Of Groton, located in
Tompkins county, state of New York, at pre-
cisely o'clock p. m. on or during the day of
January 10, A. D. 1885. During the occasion
a counter scale was placed upon the table.
The writer, not very deliberately dressed, was
placed on the scales. The balance bar flew
up, the balance weight moved out until it
struck the four-pound notch The writer was
not a seven or ten-pound baby-only four
FOUNDER. Some Of the bystanders smiled and
put the writer into tin quart cup. The doc
tor, who manipulated the scales, said the
writer, though small, was all right. Mother
and father felt encouraged-fond hopes Of the
future cleaned in their eyes.
The writer grew and waxed strong. He
was taken to the steep hills of the Allegheny
mountains, located in Warren county, Penn
sylvania, where he grew to manhood and
could vote for what he thought was right,
without knowing what was right or wrong, as
was natural
One day the news came that Fort Sumter
was fred upon and our flag trailed in the
dust. It aroused the people, also myself. I
shouldered musket and rushed to rescue
the flag, and devil Of time had rescuing
it. The writer CHATS me) hereafter will

it had no resemblance to our glorious Star
Spangled Banner It has not been washed,

awfully dirty old rag about which fools are
wrangling.

rushing to Fort Sumter, while en- route, 10
and behold, Northern general detailed me,
with my company, from my regiment, and

Street improvements, sanitation, public edu- cation, police and fire protection, all should be we'll maintained, and the funds should be forthcoming. All beneficial and needed improvements should be maintained, and even some pressingly new ones should be inau- gurated.
 It is the duty of the aldermen to push the collection of licenses and street taxes until provision is made for all necessary enterprises. An in. creasing city has increasing needs, and it would be unfortunate indeed if we are to have year of stagnation. No one wants standpat year in munich pal improvements.
