led the police To believe firmly that

slain In the church.
The villagers at Rattle Run were

way TO the little church. The voices
OF the men sounded hoarse as they
discussed the crime the women held
their heads together and they talked
In whispers. Groups OF boys were
congregated outside. Everybody talk
ed OF the murder. discovered by My
ron Brown, who entered the church
Wednesday morning and found the
CHASTITY embers In the stove dying
away fitfully, and deadly implements
and other gruesome tokens scattered
In different parts of the church.
The people today gazed at the
church An which we're found the mu-
tilated parts OF Cid Browning. They
talked OF the deadly duel that must
have taken place when Gid" Brown
ing and Rev. J. H. Carmichael stood
breast TO breast, their flesh almost
touching, and with thighs entwined,
Keeling and swaying. What Carmich-
ael gained IL strength, Browning
made up In rage. The villagers are
convinced that Browning was slain:
that his footstep, breaking the early
stiffness. will be heard no more.

The conductor Of west-bound train

carried man to Chicago answering
the description OF Carmichael. He sat
staring into the realms Of speculation.
the railroad conductor says. His
cheeks were feverish and hollow: his
lips drawn from the effects OF the bat
tie he had waged. His eyes were fixed
on the drifting landscapes, they saw
neither the houses nor the broad
harvest fields. His thoughts did not
concentrate themselves enough to dis
til into words; they were a dim and
irrevelant procession OF scenes, rising
like smoke wraiths out OF the past.

felt an indeinable yet deepening
gloom.
The train groaned and painted over
the prairie. His soul was not the
same; he put his hand to his breast:
he wandered desolately amid The
scenes which he and Browning had
known together; the strains OF the
hymns In the little church were In
the air; the trees sighed and moaned;
the tragedy was sitting on his heart
with a nameless misery.
