The following interview will un-
doubleday be of great assistance to the
News in following up the clews which
led its editor to entertain the suspi-
ciOns of fOul play so strikingly dis
played in its headlines.
After a brief discussion of the
weather and the crop prospects for
1908 the reporter launched boldly for
the question: why did you leave
your excellent home in Vernon as ex.
clusiyely reported in the Grant
County News?"
The youth replied with some hesi-
fancy. 81 was not entirely in har-
mony with my environment. AS to
its being a desirable place of abode, l
would say that the vacancy which |
left there is still untitled, as far as |
am advised, and the editor OF the
News is welcome to go and fill 1t it he
can present satisfactory assurance to
the proprietor that the value of his SER
vices would be equivalent to or great
er than the modest emoluments per-
tanning to the position"
:How did you leave the people with
whom you were staying?'
''Quite we'll, thank you"
II beg your pardon, but the in.
quiry which l meant to PROFOUND was
directed rather to the method by
which you made so mysterious q de-
parture, which, by the aid of the en-
terprising press has attracted so
much public attention and interest"
"Oh, l see, the boy replied, and at.
ter some hesitation he added, II am
naturally reluctant to disclose my
methods, but in this case where the
ives of the general public, as you
might say, have been directed to the
matter, it perhaps is only due to
them and to the ,sindly and philan-
thropic gentleman who has taken such
pains to advertise my disappearance
and discover my remains that make
q statement. nv method of escape was
very simple, which probably accounts
for its battling the mental ingenuity OF
the sleuth-hounds of journalism.
"Being in erect position | careful
~ balanced the weight OF nv body
upon the ball of the left foot and then
advanced the right foot about two
feet forward. l then transferred my
weight to my right foot and q advanced
the left. By continuing this process
Of alternate equilibration l eventually
found myself where you now discover
me.o
The explanation being entirely sat-
i%sfactory the Headlight reporter po-
litely withdrew.
It is q great pleasure to present
Exclusively the solution of q prob
lem which bids fair to eclipse the in
surgent side Of the primary in public
interest. This paper positively will
not. be outdone in enterprise; and the
subscription is the nominal sum OF

At Big Stone City

Headlight, March
The Headlight has viewed with emu
lation, not unmixed with envy, the ef-
forts of q Milpank contemporary to
work up a murder my stery in one of
our peaceful country townships, in the
desire to live up to the motto of the
yellow daily press of the cities,
s'Raise He'll and Sell Papers,"
Desiring. in our weak way, to get q
share of what was going on in this
line. and being melted thereto by the
scare heads of our neighbor, we set
our priv ate Sherlock Holmes at work
| on the clues furnished by Jul contem-
| porary and discovered that the Yer
non boy who was 80 foully> done to
death and found in an old well-may-
be-is quietly living with q farmer
near Big stone and is attending dist.
riot school.
Our CITY editor at once dispatched a
~trusty reporter to interview him and
his host. The farmer himself, who
shall be nameless for the present,
stated that the boy had arrived there
during a storm, cold. hungry, and
asked to be taken in. He told his
story, as far as the facts are known.
He was not dripping with gore, as
one might have supposed. In fact the
only things that dripped from him in
any great quantity were removed by
that common household utensil, which
is more searching than a country
newspaper detectives fine tooth
comb. HIS injuries were treated with
. this instrument. together with soap,
water, and fried potatoes, and were
all promptly healed-by first inten-
ton, as we professional men say.
Further, in order to forever clinch
the supremacy of the Headlight in
matters of enterprise in news gather
ing ard to dispel any doubt as to the
accuracy of the interview we repro
duce a snapshot of the boy telling his
story to the Headlight.

Is it possible-can it be possible
that Washington has a bad name in
the south with respect to its treatment

are-according to perfectly unreliable
statistics-14 hound dogs to every
square foot of territory, and if they all
were notwithstanding to the same
statistics-'twould take the leather
and hide output of the entire middle
west for three years.
But to the point. A newspaper man
was down in the freight yards of the
Union station just the other day and
passed baggage car in which was a
box with a Slated front containing
two handsome collie dogs, the kind
one sees in Landseer's paintings. The
box was addressed to New York and
had been shipped from a North Caro-
lima point. Tackled on the front of the
box was placard containing a crude
ly printed sign which read:
When we're in Washington please
give us a drink of water. We won't
bite you"
/ wonder IL that was a slur on the
town? But however ii was intended,
the suggestion was most efficacious.
Hardly man, woman or child passed

IN the waters In the vicinity of the
arctic regions that whales are found
in any great number. Ages ago they
were common in the southern seas.
But with the growth of commerce
they were killed or gradually driven

size Is carried on only off the Nor

into a hurricane. The schooner's
masts were carried away and she was
absolutely helpless. The heavy seas
opened her seams and she soon filled
with water. The captain and his crew
dashed themselves to the top of the
poop, which was the only part of the
vessel above water All they had sue
ceeded in saving was a little hard
tack and gallon of water.
The water was exhausted in "a
hours, and the bareback was doled out
to each man daily. On the 10th the
men caught two gallons of rain, and
when rescued they still had a gallon
left and eight hardtacks. 49,
They had almost abandoned hope,
realizing that their position was off

the men taking turns at the watch,
although almost exhausted and with
their hands and feet badly swollen.

The Luckenbach was 100 miles of
her course, having proceeded In that
direction to avoid the hurricane. Chief
Officer Thomas Haley sighted the
little fire on the schooner several
miles away and bore down upon it.
The sea was rough, but volunteers
were not wanting, and soon lifeboat
was launched. 1t was found impossi-
BILE to bring the boat near enough to
the wreckage to take the men of,
and, one by one, they. leaped from the
schooner into the sea and were
dragged aboard.
