wild fury filled his veins. He strug.
gled savagely. desperately. and finally
tore himself loose with wrench SO
powerful that the momentum hurled
him over the wall. and he fell heav.
lily to the ground below. There he lay
for some time. severely bruised and
only half conscious. He was aroused
by hearing voices in the jail. and stag
gering to his feet dragged himself
away in search OF a hiding place.
He came to a graveyard. and as he
crawled along in the darkness, fell
head foremost into a newly dug grave.
Silent he lay without moving. with
fast-closed eyes and rigid body. He
heard a crealxing and humping and
family, as though far away. he heard
the harsh rattle Of earth falling on
the casket. Yet no weight seemed to
press upon him, but this did not sur
prise him. for he was long past the
stage Of establishment It was the end.
and nothing mattered now. He heard
the rumble OF wheels as the carriages
departed and the footsteps of the
mourners died away.

darkness. He tried to move. but his
entire frame seemed to be paralyzed.
With q rush OF recollection there
crossed his mind the memory Of the
burial. the prayer and singing. He
moved his head feebly and through
the hay caught sight of the twinkling
stars. Slowly and with great pain he
managed to rise to a sitting posture.
Where was the coffin, where the six
feet Of earth underneath which 1t lay?
He staggered to his feet and saw that
the grave he occupied was empty. His
brain whirled madly in a maze Of tor.

mean? He tried to Chamber out, but
fell back exhausted. He lay back on
the hay. rested and tried again. It
was the work of an hour for him to
drag his feeble limbs over the edge of
the pit, but at last he succeeded. Then
the mystery was solved. Close beside
the open grave from which he had
emerged a new-made mound stood
darkly in the moonlight. The burial
had indeed taken place, but In the
grave adjoining that in which he lay.
The escaped murderer stood up and

around and saw the distant outlines

that It would be simply a question OF

Picnic at Villas

Notwithstanding the inclement
weather and the heavy rainfall on
the previous evening, nearly 800
people assembled at the Holman
grove near Villas on Wednesday
to participate in the festivities.
The program was somewhat a
disappointment on account of the
poor condition in which the track
was in as result of the heavy
rains, which prevented the pull
ling off of some very fast races
which were scheduled. The races
that were run were very good
and the broncho riding contest
was exciting and extremely in
teresting, and the program taken
as whole, and under the pre-
vailing conditions, was highly
commendable and thoroughly en-
joyed. The bowery dance was
also well patronized and proved
an enjoyable feature of the en-
tertainment.
A noticeable feature of the
gathering was the absence of
rowdyism, which is generally the
case at public gatherings, and
the management deserve much
credit for the success of the
entertainment, and which proved
the source of much pleasure for
all who attended. Practically
every locality in the county was
represented and those who at
tended are unanimous in prais-
ing our Villas neighbors for the
cordial treatment and pleasing
entertainment received at their
hands.
